Objective To explore the effects of H 2 S on neuronal injuries induced by oxygen glucose deprivation /reoxygenation ( OGD/R) in cortical neurons .Methods For OGD, the primary cultured cortical neurons were incubated with glucose-free EBSS media for 4h in N2/CO2/O2 (93%/5%/2%) atmosphere.Thereafter, the media were replaced by Neurobasal/B27 culture media and the neurons were incubated for 12 h in a 5%CO2 incubator at 37℃.NaHS was used as a H2S donor and cell survival rate was determined by cell counting kit 8(CCk-8).[Ca2+]i was determined using fura-2/AM and fluorescence microscopic imaging systems .The release rate of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) was determined by lactate dehydrogenase assay kit , and cell damage was analyzed by staining of propidium iodide ( PI ) .Results After pretreated with 200, 300 and 600μmol/L sodium hydrosulfide ( NaHS) for 30min before OGD/R, the cell survival rate of neurons significantly increased (n=4).[Ca2+]I(n=5), LDH release rate (n=4) and cell damage percentage (n=6) in the neuron pretreated with 300 μM NaHS were significantly lower than those in ODG/R cells.Treatment with 10μmol/L calcium chelator BAPTA also reduced the LDH release rate and cell damage percentage induced by ODG /R in neurons . Conclusion The results indicate that H 2 S may inhibit the OGD/R induced damage in cortical neurons via reducing calcium overload of neurons .

BACKGROUND:Clinical infusion of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of aplastic anemia has been reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells on the secretion function of T lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients. METHODS:Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were extracted from healthy human adipose tissues. T-lymphocytes were harvested from peripheral blood of patients with aplastic anemia by density gradient centrifugation. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were co-cultured with T-lymphocytes. The levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interleukin-10 and interferon-γwere detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. T-bet and GATA-3 levels were examined by real-time PCR and western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of Th1 type cytokines interferon-γand interleukin-2 in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). But the levels of Th2 type cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 in the co-culture group were significantly higher than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). The T-bet mRNA and protein levels in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group, while the GATA-3 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in the co-culture group. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells can mediate an immunoregulation effect on T-lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients in vitro, which is possibly related with the inhibition of Th1-dominant response due to the disorder of T-bet and GATA-3 gene expression.

Objective To study the influence of clinical nutritional support on the effects of mechanical ventilation (MV), and to find the factors affecting the outcome of patients undergoing MV. Methods A case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 235 patients undergoing MV admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2015 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether weaning successfully within 7 days. The clinical data of patients in the two groups were collected including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, underlying disease, nutritional indicators, nutritional support, and complications. The outcome of withdrawal within 7 days was served as a dependent variable, all observed indicators were served as independent variables, and Logistic regression analysis was carried out to screen the influencing factors of the weaning results within 7 days. Results 235 patients undergoing MV were enrolled, 128 patients were successfully withdrawn within 7 days, and 107 were unsuccessfully withdrawn. Compared with the successful weaning group, the patients of weaning failure group were older, and had higher APACHEⅡ score and lower albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb), more patients with internal medical underlying diseases and receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) and mixed nutrition, and the incidences of secondary infection, vomiting, abdominal distension, abnormal bowel sound, gastric retention, and diarrhea were higher. However, there was no statistical significance in gender between the two groups. The variables of statistical significance in univariate analysis were enrolled in the multifactor analysis model showing that age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.269, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.119-1.439, P < 0.001], APACHEⅡ score (OR = 1.643, 95%CI = 1.423-1.897, P < 0.001), internal medical underlying diseases (OR = 6.298, 95%CI = 4.012-9.887, P < 0.001), secondary infection (OR = 8.323, 95%CI = 2.568-26.975, P < 0.001), abdominal distension (OR = 3.368, 95%CI = 1.586-7.152, P = 0.002), abnormal bowel sounds (OR = 2.856, 95%CI = 1.215-6.713, P = 0.017), gastric retention (OR = 1.996, 95%CI = 1.183-3.368, P = 0.010), diarrhea (OR = 3.035, 95%CI = 1.337-6.890, P = 0.008) were risk factors for unsuccessful weaning,and compared with PN, enteral nutrition (EN; OR = 0.191, 95%CI = 0.098-0.372, P < 0.001) and mixed nutrition (OR = 0.375, 95%CI = 0.150-0.938, P = 0.037) were protective factors of successful weaning. The gender, Alb and Hb before and after MV, vomiting, gastrointestinal hemorrhage were not associated with weaning outcome within 7 days. Conclusions Elder, high APACHEⅡ score, internal medical underlying diseases, or secondary infection, abdominal distension, abnormal bowel sounds, gastric retention, diarrhea were risk factors of weaning failure within 7 days in patients undergoing MV. Compared with PN, EN and mixed nutrition were protective factors for successful weaning. For patients undergoing MV, EN should be performed early in the case of full recovery, hemodynamic stability, and serious metabolic disorders.

Objective To develop a mental fatigue detection method for spaceflight environments in response to the mental fatigue problem that may arise during the on-orbit period of astronauts.Methods In the ground-based research,we used a 36-hour sleep deprivation experiment to induce mental fatigue state.Then the electroencephalogram(EEG)data and questionnaire scores were collected from 45 subjects.Finally,a series of EEG features relevant to mental fatigue were calculated and a mental fatigue detection method constructed with Random Forest Classifier to differentiate the mental fatigue level.Results The average accuracy over 85%was achieved in both ground-based and space-based experimental data and each evaluation index had consistent trend.Conclusion The mental fatigue detection method based on EEG signals is suited to the differences in environment and tasks,and shows precise and stable performance in both ground-based experiment and space-based one,which is feasible to be applied in spaceflight environments in the future.
