Objective To investigated the role of the autophagy lysosomal pathway in PD cells and the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods A dopaminergic neuronal injury model was induced by 6-OHDA in PC12 cells . Autophagosomes in PC12 cells were examined by transmission electronmicro-scopy( TEM ). The expression of LC3- Ⅱ , Cathepsin B were assayed by western blot analysis. Results TEM revealed that the autophagosomes were increased in PC12 cells after 6-OHDA treatment and appeared apoptosis. The LC3-Ⅱ (2h:52.57 ±2.27,4h:56.83 ±3.51,6h:73.43 ±5.41,12h:103.90 ±2.57,24h: 100.40 ±3.91 )and Cathepsin B expression ( model group: 113.80 ± 4.46; normal group 35.89 ± 3.40) were increased after 6-OH DA treatments (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ). Conclusion The results indicate that autophagy lysosome pathway is involved in 6-OHDA-induced cell death in PC12 cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood glucose levels at admission on the outcomes and hemorrhagic transformation in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods From December 2013 to January 2017, patients with AIS treated with intravenous thrombolysis at the Department of Neurology, Xuzhou Central Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. According to the blood glucose levels on admission, they were divided into non-hyperglycemic group ( ≤8 mmol/L ) and hyperglycemic group ( > 8 mmol/L). The functional outcome was assessed with the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 d after onset, and 0-2 was defined as good outcome and > 2 was defined as poor outcome. From 24 h to 7 d after treatment, CT scan was performed again to determine whether there was intracranial hemorrhage or not. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent influencing factors of outcomes after intravenous thrombolysis. Results A total of 323 patients with AIS were enrolled, including 237 (73. 4%) in the non-hyperglycemic group and 86 (26. 6%) in the hyperglycemic group; 238 (73. 7%) in the good outcome group, and 85 (26. 3%) in the poor outcome group; 25 (7. 7%) in the hemorrhagic transformation group, and 298 (92. 3%) in the non-hemorrhagic transformation group. Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in the proportions of patients with ischemic heart disease, atrial fibrillation, past history of stroke or TIA, as well as age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, and baseline blood glucose between the poor outcome group and the good outcome group (all P < 0. 05). There were significant differences in the proportion of hypertensive patients and baseline NIHSS score between the hemorrhagic transformation group and the non- hemorrhagic transformation group ( all P < 0. 05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hyperglycemia at admission (odds ratio [OR] 2. 239, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1. 210-4. 143; P = 0. 010)and baseline NIHSS score (OR 3. 528, 95% CI 2. 451-5. 078; P < 0. 001) were the independent influencing factors of poor outcome; hypertension (OR 0. 410, 95% CI 0. 173-0. 972; P = 0. 043 ) and baseline NIHSS score (OR 2. 283, 95% CI 1. 382-3. 772, P = 0. 001 ) were the independent influencing factors of hemorrhagic transformation. Conclusion Hyperglycemia at admission was an independent risk factor for poor outcome in patients with AIS after intravenous thrombolytic therapy, but it was not associated with the risk of hemorrhagic transformation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of prone ventilation in children with severe pneumonia at high altitude.Methods By convenience sampling method,80 children with severe pneumonia hospitalized in intensive care department of a tertiary A children's hospital in Xining,Qinghai Province from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects,and the regional randomization group method was used to divide into a test group and a control group with 40 cases in each group.On the basis of routine care,the test group received prone ventilation once a day for 6 to 12 h;the control group received supine ventilation.Respiratory mechanical parameters(oxygenation index,oxygen saturation,arterial oxygen partial pressure,arterial CO2 partial pressure),mechanical ventilation duration and safety parameters(incidence of unplanned extubation,stress injury)at 6 h and 12 h of mechanical ventilation were compared.Results There were no shedding cases.The interaction between oxygenation index,blood oxygen saturation and arterial oxygen partial pressure(P<0.05)in the 2 groups was compared(P>0.05).The results of simple effect analysis showed that at 6 h,the oxygen saturation and oxygenation index in the test group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).At 12 h of mechanical ventilation,the oxygenation index,blood oxygen saturation and arterial oxygen partial pressure in the test group were higher than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The time of mechanical ventilation in the test group was102.00(60.00,153.00)h and 126.00(108.00,156.00)h in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.013).The incidence of unplanned extubation and pressure injury were compared,and the differences in 2 groups were not significant(P>0.05).Conclusion Prone ventilation in children with severe pneumonia at high altitude is safe and feasible,which is helpful to improve the respiratory function and shorten the time of mechanical ventilation.
