Objective To investigate the protective effct of Panax quinquefolium saponins from steams and leaves(PQS)on focal cerebral ischemia injury in rats and its mechanisms. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model control group,nimodipine group and two PQS groups,in which PQS of 100 and 50 mg/kg was intragastrically administered. Focal cerebral ischemia model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)in rats, via string ligation of artetia carotis interna. The content of malondicldehy de(MDA) was determined by thibabituric acid ( TBA ) test, the activity of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ), superoxide dismutase (SOD)and the content of lactic acid(LA) were detected by chemical colorimetry test in cerebral tissues. Results PQS( 100,50mg/kg)could significantly decrease the content of LA、MDA and increase the activity of LDH、SOD. Conclusion The protective mechanism of PQS on focal cerebral ischemia injury may be related to reduce acidosis, anti-free radical and resist oxidative damage.

Objective To probe into the clinical nurse′s ethical cognition of Kazakh Medicine Hospital of Altay Region in Xinjiang,so as to provide basis for improving the level of nursing ethical cognition in minority area.Methods The self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 51 clinical nurses of Kazakh Medicine Hospital of Altay Region in Xinjiang,and the result of investigation was used nonparametric statistics method and was analyzed by software SPSS 16.0.Results The overall level of ethical cognition in 51 clinical nurses maintained low level,with lowest score 30 and highest score 51 and median score 37;there were 21 nurses acquired score range from 30-36,and 30 nurses acquired over 36.The differences were statistically significant in comprehensive ethical cognition score of different departments′nurses (H=16.916,P <0.05).Conclusions The overall level of ethical cognition in 51 clinical nurses was low,so we should pay attention to its education,encourage multi-channel learning,strengthen ethics training,establish ethical norms,narrow the gap among each departments′nurses ethical cognition,improve the overall quality of nurses,and provide quality service for patients.

Purpose To investigate the characteristics of 18F-Florbetaben(18F-FBB)β-amyloid(Aβ)PET imaging in different brain regions of Alzheimer's disease(AD)patients with different degrees of cognitive impairment,and to explore the correlation between Aβ deposition and cognitive dysfunction.Materials and Methods A total of eighteen patients with a clinical diagnosis of probable AD from August 2022 to October 2023 were retrospectively included in Huashan Hospital.All patients had Aβ abnormal deposition in the brain as confirmed by 18F-FBB PET imaging.According to the severity of symptoms,they were divided into the AD-induced mild cognitive impairment(MCI)group(8 cases)and the dementia group(10 cases).In addition,12 healthy controls were included.First,the standardized uptake value ratio of abnormal Aβ deposition in the frontal lobe,lateral parietal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,anterior and posterior cingulate gyrus,and compound cortex was semi-quantitatively calculated and compared among the three groups based on the subjects'brain MRI and automated anatomical labeling template.The correlation between the degree of Aβ deposition in the brains of AD patients and cognitive scale scores(mini-mental state examination,Montreal cognitive assessment)was then further analyzed.Results The standardized uptake value ratio values of Aβabnormal deposition in the frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,lateral parietal lobe,anterior and posterior cingulate cortex and compound cortex in the AD-induced MCI and dementia groups were significantly higher than those in the healthy controls(t=7.442-9.151,all P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in the standardized uptake value ratio values of Aβ abnormal deposition in the above brain regions between the MCI and dementia groups(t=0.312-0.996,all P>0.05).In addition,there was no significant correlation between the degree of Aβ deposition in the brain and the cognitive scale scores(mini-mental state examination,Montreal cognitive assessment)in the AD-induced MCI and dementia groups(r=-0.049-0.050,all P>0.05).Conclusion Aβ deposition in the brains of AD-induced MCI and dementia is significantly higher than in the healthy controls.However,Aβ deposition cannot identify AD patients with different degrees of cognitive impairment,reflecting that Aβ deposition has certain limitations in assessing the severity of clinical symptoms of AD.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg or 200 mg combined with yiqibuvir for 12 weeks in patients with various genotypes of chronic hepatitis C, without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis.Methods:Patients with chronic hepatitis C (without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis) were randomly assigned to the antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (100 mg group) or the antaitasvir phosphate 200 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (200 mg group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The drugs were continuously administered once a day for 12 weeks and observed for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. The drug safety profile was assessed concurrently with the observation of the sustained virological response (SVR12) in the two patient groups 12 weeks following the drug cessation. The intention-to-treat concept was used to define as closely as possible a full analysis set, including all randomized cases who received the experimental drug at least once. The safety set was collected from all subjects who received the experimental drug at least once (regardless of whether they participated in the randomization group) in this study. All efficacy endpoints and safety profile data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The primary analysis was performed on a full analysis set. The frequency and proportion of cases were calculated in the experimental drug group (antaitasvir phosphate capsules combined with yiqibuvir tablets) that achieved "HCV RNA
