Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(3):229-232
Objective To explore the effect of early intervention on myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) expression of white matterin neonatal rats with cerebral brain injury caused by intrauterine infection. Methods 17 days or 18 days pregnant Wistar rats were consecutivelyinjected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneally. 100 neonatal rats born from LPS group were randomly divided into interventiongroup and non-intervention group with 50 in each group. Another 10 pregnant rats were injected with normal saline, 50 neonatal rats born from the the normal saline group were taken as control group. The intervention group received early intervention and rehabilitationtraining. All the groups underwent hanging test and modified BBB test on the 14th, 21st and 28th day. 6 rats in each group were tested by immunohistochemicalstaining to observe the MAG expression in white matter on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day. Results The scores of hangingtest and modified BBB test were significantly higher in the control group than in the LPS group (P<0.01), and higher in the interventiongroup than in the non-intervention group (P<0.01). The expression of MAG was higher in LPS group than in the control group (P<0.01), innon-intervention group than in the intervention group (P<0.01). Conclusion Early intervention and rehabilitation training can improve themotor function in rats with brain injury and reduce the expression of MAG.

Purpose To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factorIImRNA binding protein 3 ( IMP3 ) and microvessel density (MVD) in squamous carcinoma of the cervix (SCC) and analysis their relationship in SCC. Methods The expression of IMP3 and MVD was examined by immunohistochemistry SP method in normal cervical epithelium ( NCE) , low-grade cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia (CIN-L), high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN-H) and SCC. Results (1)The positive expression rates of IMP3 in NCE, CIN-L, CIN-H, SCC tissues were 0(0/15), 0(0/11), 37.5%(9/24) and 86.0%(43/50), the difference was statistically significant (x 2 =53.345, P=0.000). IMP3 expression was significant difference among NCE and CIN-H, SCC (P<0.008 3), and that was also among SCC and CIN-L, CIN-H (P<0.008 3). (2)The MVD count was increased with the development of cervical squamous lesion, there was significant difference among those groups (F=145.968, P<0.01), and the difference was al-so statistically significant between every two groups (P<0.05). The positive expression of IMP3 and MVD count in 50 cases of SCC tissues showed statistical difference in different pathologic grade, lymph node metastasis, and depth of tumor invasion groups ( P<0.05), but didn't in different patients’age groups (P>0.05). And the positive expression of IMP3 was closely related with MVD count in SCC tissues (rs =0.323, P<0.05). Conclusion IMP3 plays an important role in the occurrence, infiltration and metasta-sis of SCC, and the abnormal expression of IMP3 may relate with the angiogenesis of tumors.

AIM: To study the effects of Rhodiola(Rho), nitric oxid e (NO), hem oglobin (HB) on the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS) in early stage aft er burn in rabbits. METHODS:The rabbits were divided into the sh am burn group (SB), burn group (B), orally taken Rho group (R), burn and Rho therapy group (BR ). The changes of hemodynamics were monitored. The index of pulmonary permeabili ty was calculated. These data reflected separately the functions of heart, live r, lung, kidney and blood coagulation system were also determined. NO contents i n ser um and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by Griess method. The l e vels of serum HB were measured. RESULTS:① The dysfunctions of hear t, liver and kidney achieved the criterion of MODS in group B at 48 h postburns (B 48 h ). The N O content of group B significantly increased in serum and BALF at B 48 h . ② The cardiac index (CI) and creatine phosphokinase (CK), urea nitrogen (BUN) markedly raised or decreased in group BR at 48 h postburns (BR 48 h ) than B 48 h . The NO cont ents in serum and BALF markedly raised. ③ HB contents in serum markedly raised in group B and BR at 0 h postburns (B 0 h , BR 0 h ) than group SB, B 48 h , R, BR 48 h , but NO was reverse. CONCLUTIONS: ① HB contents in serum markedly raise d at 0 h post burns, but NO was reverse. ② Rho promoted the increases of NO synthesis and the blood perfusion of organs, which might be one of mechanisms to prevent the devel opment of MODS.

This study aimed to examine whether ophiopogonin D (OP-D) is capable of protecting cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced injury and the mechanisms involved. H9c2 cells were cultured. MTT assay was used to evaluate cell viability and toxicity. Mito-tracker as fluorescence probe was used to measure ROS content raised from mitochondria. The mRNA and protein expression of ATF6alpha, GRP78 and CHOP were analyzed using real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The results showed that a significant endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) was induced upon exposure of H9c2 cells to DOX as indicated by the increase in the expression of ERS related proteins, which was paralleled with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decrease in the viability of H9c2 cells. Whereas, DOX-induced ROS accumulation and up-regulation of ERS related proteins were partially abolished by pretreatment with OP-D. Consequently, a DOX-induced ERS was mitigated by application of OP-D. Similarly, DOX-induced decrease in cell viability was partially attenuated by either inhibiting CHOP or pretreatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant. Moreover, cardiac ultrastructural abnormalities seen in mouse receiving DOX injections were obviously ameliorated by pretreatment of OP-D. Taken together, the present study proved that OP-D protects cardiomyocytes against DOX-induced injury, at least in part, through reducing ROS accumulation and alleviating ERS.

Objective To investigate the value of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in the treatment of severe pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of 59 severe pneumonia infants who received NCPAP preferential ventilation strategy were retrospectively analyzed. Results After treatment, 50 infants were effective and 9 infants were ineffective. Before treatment, the age, RR, HR between effective group and ineffective group had no significant differences (P>0.05). But the levels of PaCO2, PaO2/FiO2 in ineffective group were significantly higher than those in effective group and the level of PaO2 in ineffective group was significantly lower than that in effective group (P<0.05). In effective group, the levels of PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly increased after treatment for 1, 12 and 24 h, and the levels of PaCO2, RR and HR were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusions NCPAP preferential ventilation strategy can reduce the use of invasive mechanical ventilation, improve oxygenation, ease dyspnea and make vital signs stable.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the effect of Naoling decoction on the learning and memory behaviors and the expression of microglia and IL-6 in hippocampal CA3 region of rats with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and to elucidate the potential mechanism.
METHODS:
Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a normal group, a sham-operation group, an AD group, a Naoling decoction group and a Naofukang group. The spatial learning and memory behaviors of the rats were investigated by water maze and Y-maze. The Alzheimer's disease model was established by injecting Aβ1-42 into the hippocamal of the rats. Expression of OX-42 (one of the microglia specific markers) and IL-6 in the CA3 region of hippocamal was measured by immunohistochemical stain.
RESULTS:
Morris water maze experiment showed that the escape latency of hidden platform in the AD group was significantly delayed (P<0.05) and the average times of passing was decreased (P<0.05). Y-maze test showed that the times needed to the learn how to evade the electrical stimulation in the AD group was most than in other groups (P<0.05). Compared with the AD group, the Morris water maze test and Y-maze test of the Naoling decoction group were significantly different (P<0.05). The expression of OX-42 and IL-6 in the CA3 region of hippocamal in the Naoling decoction group was decreased (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Naoling decoction can improve learning and memory, and weaken the expression of OX-42 and IL-6 in hippocampal CA3 of AD rats, which may partly be the therapeutic mechanism of Naoling decoction for AD.

In terms of alternative suggestion, 70.74%(162/229) of surgeons believed that it was necessary for the We-Media platforms to involve more doctors of different specialties, but 40.61%(93/229) of surgeons believed that relevant departments or associations should strengthen supervision under the current situation. In addition, 32.75%(75/229) of surgeons believed that the operation of We-Media platform requires more investment. The were 27.95%(64/229) of surgeons giving specific suggestions on running We-Media platforms, 7.81%(5/64) of which did not suggest a blind try.Conclusions:Most surgeons who open and operate We-Media platforms in China are faced with problems such as busy work, limited time and energy, low-income increase, and lack of professional promotion and maintenance teams and external support. Even so, there are still many surgeons who have achieved success through long-term persistence and high-quality content output, thus increasing the number of patient visits, improving their own ability and industry influence, and bringing a greater sense of professional achievement.

Cancer Research and Treatment 2023;55(4):1210-1221
Purpose:
Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–low advanced breast cancer can benefit from trastuzumab deruxtecan. Given the unclear prognostic characteristics of HER2-low breast cancer, we investigated the prognostic characteristics of HER2-low expression from primary tumor to residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
Materials and Methods:
The data of HER2-negative patients receiving NACT at our center were collected. Pathological complete response (pCR) rate were compared between HER2-0 and HER2-low patients. The evolution of HER2 expression from primary tumor to residual disease and its impact on disease-free survival (DFS) were examined.
Results:
Of the 690 patients, 494 patients had HER2-low status, of which 72.3% were hormone receptor (HR)–positive (p < 0.001). The pCR rates of HER2-low and HER2-0 patients (14.2% vs. 23.0%) showed no difference in multivariate analysis regardless of HR status. No association was observed between DFS and HER2 status. Of the 564 non-pCR patients, 57 (10.1%) changed to HER2-positive, and 64 of the 150 patients (42.7%) with HER2-0 tumors changed to HER2-low. HER2-low (p=0.004) and HR-positive (p=0.010) tumors before NACT were prone to HER2 gain. HER2 gain patients had a better DFS compared with HER2-negative maintained patients (87.9% vs. 79.5%, p=0.048), and the DFS of targeted therapy group was better than that of no targeted therapy group (92.4% vs. 66.7%, p=0.016).
Conclusion
Although HER2-low did not affect the pCR rate and DFS, significant evolution of HER2-low expression after NACT creates opportunities for targeted therapy including trastuzumab.
