Objective To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of gradient elastic compression stockings in prevention of venous stasis in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods 160 LC patients were randomized into the experimental group(75 cases)and the control group (85 cases).Routine nursing care and treatment were performed in both groups,and gradient elastic compression stockings were used in the experimental group.Venous pressure was measured in four different periods (T1,T2,T3,T4). Results The venous pressure in T2,T3 and T4 in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group. Conclusions Use of gradient elastic compression stockings is effective and feasible in preventing LC-induced venous stasis.

Objective To observe the changes of the brain function during reading recovery by using functional MRI (fMRI),and to provide the experimental data in elucidating the mechanism on the recovery of reading and language function.Methods fMRI was performed in a native Chinese patient with pure alexia on the 45 th and 130 th day after the onset,respectively.Three kinds of Chinese characters were presented during the scan and the patient was asked to make the judgement weather he could recognize the characters or not.The brain activation maps were acquired after postprocessing,and the activated location and volume were compared between the first and second experiments.Results In both experiments,Broca area,Wernicke area,and the right extrastriate were significantly activated,while the left extrastriate around the lesion was markedly activated only in the second experiment,and the volume of activation in the right extrastriate in the second experiment was about 3 times as large as that in the first experiment.Conclusion The left extrastriate cortex is one of the key areas responsible for reading function in the brain.The recovery of reading function can be compensated in contralateral corresponding cortical area,or it can be the result of reorganization in ipsilateral peri-lesion cortex.Both mechanisms may simultaneously play important roles in reading recovery.

Objective To optimize the pre-treatment method before detecting Helicobacter pylori ( H.pylori ) by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF MS) and evaluate the ability of the Superspectra by MALDI-TOF MS for identifying clinical isolated H.pylori strains.Methods H.pylori were isolated from 469 biopsy samples of gastric mucosa collected from January 2015 to July 2016 in Huadong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University , 16 s rRNA sequencing were then performed to validate the strains.Then 91 isolated H.pylori strains were used for the subsequent MALDI-TOF analysis.The effect of pre-treatment of 50%isopropanol, formic acid and acetonitrile (1∶1), 70%formic acid were compared before H.pylori detecting by MALDI-TOF MS.40 out of 91 clinical H.pylori strains were detected by MALDI-TOF MS and the spectra were randomly assigned to 4 groups including 5, 10, 20, 30 spectra, each group had 3 repeats.Then 4 groups with different amount of spectra were used for creating Superspectra with SARAMIS Premium software , respectively.The remaining 51 H.pylori strains including 306 spectra were used for validating the identification rate of the Superspectra.Results With the use of 70%formic acid, the greater number of ion signals and higher relative intensity of the main peaks were observed than other pre-treatment reagents.The identification rate of Superspectra created by 30 strains group was the highest ( 90.2%).Among the 306 spectra, 46.1% of them achieved highly reliable identification , 22.2% achieved lower degree of reliable identification , and 31.7% of them achieved “no identification”.Conclusions The study optimized the pre-treatment method before H.pylori detecting by MALDI-TOF MS.The Superspectra was created with the good ability to rapidly identify clinical isolated H.pylori strains.

Objective. To study the role of endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) in endotoxin shock. Methods. The changes of CO levels and the effects of zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP),an inhibitor of heme-oxygenase (HO), in endotoxin shock and the efficacy of hemin,an inducer of HO were investigated.Results. The plasma CO levels were found to be significantly increased during the course of endotoxin shock. Injection of ZnPP was shown to abrogate the endotoxin-induced hypotension and metabolic derangements markedly. Administration of hemin to healthy rabbits revealed the hypotension and metabolic derangements similar to the animals given endotoxin.Conclusion.CO is a newly found endogenously produced mediator which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endotoxin shock.

Neddylation is overactivated in lung cancer, which promotes the development of lung cancer by activating its downstream CRL ubiquitin ligase and promoting the CRL tumor-suppressor protein substrate degradation. MLN4924, a small molecule inhibitor of Neddylation, plays an anti-lung cancer role by inducing cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and senescence. Furthermore, targeting the key enzymes of Neddylation and their substrates, Cullin family proteins, can inhibit the development of lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effects of bilingual training on cognition for older adults. MethodsResearches about bilingual training for cognition for the older adults were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Wanfang Data, and CNKI from 2011 to May, 2021, supplemented by references backtracking and manual retrieval. The data was extracted for analysis. ResultsA total of 21 researches were included from twelve countries, which published mainly on journals of medicine, neurology, psychology, biology, etc., in 2017 and 2019. Most of the researches were prospective researches and retrospective researches, and the targeted groups including healthy people, people with dementia and people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The objects mainly involved the effects of bilingualism on cognition, the pathways and the limitations. ConclusionBilingual training may improve the cognition for older adults, through the brain connection related with memory, attention and execution, to delay the onset of AD or dementia; which may associate with the improvement of brain structure and function, including connectivity among regions, activation of cortical circuits, and structural integrity and plasticity. The effects are mainly on execution and perception, and delaying the cognitive decline, which appear in a short term. Bilingual training may finally promote language function, maintain the integrity of the brain structures, and compensate cognitive decline using more potential neural circuits. However, these researches need more uniform criteria for subjects, more reasonable control conditions, and more uniform paradigms.

Objective:To explore the correlation between hip muscle factors measured with CT imaging and recovery of independent mobility within 1 year after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted on the clinical data of 680 elderly patients with hip fractures admitted to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital of Capital Medical University from November 2018 to December 2019. The patients were assigned to dependent group and assistant group according to whether they regained pre-injury independent mobility within 1 year after surgery. Gender, age, body mass index, personal history, living habits, past diseases, Charlson comorbidity index, laboratory test indicators, fracture types, anesthesia types, surgical methods, rehabilitation training, time from injury to surgery, and hip muscle parameters in both groups were recorded. OsiriX software was employed in the measurement of the hip muscles to measure the muscle area and density of the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius/minimus on CT images, and the average values were calculated as hip muscle area and density. Then the variables of hip muscle area and density were converted seperately to gender-normalized Z-scores, and were divided into high-area group ( Z≥0) and low-area group ( Z<0), and high-density group ( Z≥0) and low-density group ( Z<0) respectively. Observable variables were primarily analyzed using univariate analysis between the independent group and assistant group. Those variables with statistically significant differences in the univariate analysis or would potentially affect mobility recovery according to previous researches although there were no statistical significance were included in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Three Logistic regression models were designed (Model 1 uncorrected, Model 2 corrected for gender, age and body mass index, Model 3 corrected for variables in Model 2 and other variables included after above-mentioned analysis) to analyze whether muscle parameters were risk factors for recovery of independent mobility. Additionally, generalized estimating equations were used for repeated measurement to analyze the correlation between hip muscle area and recovery of independent mobility after surgery. Results:Compared to the assistant group, the independent group were younger in age, with lower rate of living alone, being housebound, cognitive impairment, and Charlson comorbidity index, lower level of hemoglobin and albumin, higher rate of femoral neck fractures, lower rate of internal fixation, shorter time from injury to surgery, larger hip muscle area, and higher hip muscle density ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, in the fully corrected Model 3, only hip muscle area remained significantly correlated with recovery of independent mobility ( P<0.05), while no significant difference was found between the high-density group and low-density group ( P>0.05). In the repeated measurement, patients in the high-area group were 1.84 times more likely to restore independent mobility than those in the low-area group ( OR=1.84, 95% CI 1.33, 2.53, P<0.01). Conclusions:Hip muscle area measured with CT imaging is closely correlated to the recovery of independent mobility within 1 year after surgery in elderly patients with hip fractures. Moreover, larger hip muscle area indicates a larger likelihood of recovery of independent mobility.

Inflammation is involved in the development of various acute and chronic diseases in the body. Sustained inflammatory responses are key driving factors for diseases such as cancer， neurodegenerative diseases， cardiovascular diseases， metabolic syndrome， inflammatory bowel disease， and arthritis. Therefore， finding anti-inflammatory drugs is crucial for the prevention and treatment of various diseases. In recent years， there has been increasing attention to finding natural drugs with minimal toxic side effects. Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos， as traditional Chinese medicines potent in clearing heat and removing toxins， have strong biological activity and multiple pharmacological effects. They are widely distributed in the plant world and have significant medicinal value. With the continuous advancement of the research on Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos， they have been widely used in the medical field and possess great development potential. Currently， research mainly focuses on the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos， while systematic summaries of their anti-inflammatory active ingredients are rare. Therefore， this paper focuses on the differential analysis of the anti-inflammatory active components of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos. In addition， it reviewed the possible mechanisms by which extracts and active ingredients of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos may exert anti-inflammatory effects through various pathways， such as influencing the release of cellular inflammatory factors， regulating inflammatory signaling pathways such as nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）， mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）/c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/NF-κB， and Janus kinase （JAK）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT） signaling pathways， increasing antioxidant stress capacity， enhancing immune defense capabilities， and improving intestinal microbiota， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the rational clinical application of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Lonicerae Flos.
