Objective To investigate the effect of heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback training on patients with three types of insom-nia disorder. Methods From June, 2016 to March, 2017, 17 patients in simple insomnia group, 19 patients in insomnia with anxiety group, and 19 patients in insomnia with depression group were included. All the patients received HRV biofeedback training and same medication (zolpidem tartrate, 10 mg every night). They were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and HRV parameters were tracked before and after training. Re-sults After training, the scores of PSQI, SCL-90, HAMA , HAMD and the ratio of low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) (LF/HF) de-creased in all groups (t>1.446, P<0.05). There was significant difference in PSQI among three groups (F=3.537, P=0.038). The D-values of the PSQI score and LF/HF before and after training were more in the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group than in the simple insomnia group (P<0.05), however, no significant difference was observed between the insomnia with anxiety group and the insomnia with depression group (P>0.05). Conclusion HRV biofeedback training could improve the symptoms of patients with three types of insomnia disorder, especially for those with anxiety or depression.

Objective:To analyze bone strength index, osteoporosis and fracture in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with radiologic hip involvement and explore the characteristics of bone strength in these patients.Methods:According to bath ankylosing spondylitis radiology hip index (BASRI-hip) score, 339 AS patients were divided into two groups. The differences of bone strength in each group were analyzed by t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of bone strength index. The correlation between quantitative ultrasound and dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) (total hip, g/cm 2) was analyzed. Pearson correlation analysis was used. Results:①Bone strength index of quantitative ultrasound was positively correlated with bone mineral density of DXA (total hip, g/cm 2), r=0.553, P<0.01. ② The age of 27(23, 37) years old in radiographic hip involvement was lower than 37(28, 48) years old in non-radiographic hip involvement, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-5.986, P<0.01). There were no differences in gender and course of disease between the two groups ( P>0.05).③ The radiographic hip involvement in AS patients whose ages were younger than 50, when compared with non-radiographic hip involvement patients, the bone strength index was lower (78±18 vs 84±16), while bone strength was lower than patients at the same age (41.0% vs 18.4%), however, the incidences of osteoporosis (42.7% vs 28.8%) and fragility fracture (3.7% vs 0%) were significantly higher ( t=3.028, P<0.01; χ2=16.758, P<0.01; χ2=5.886, P=0.019; χ2=4.67, P=0.038). For AS patients whose ages were ≥50, there were no significant differences between the two groups ( P>0.05). ④ Multivariate analysis showed that radiographic hip involvement [ OR (95% CI)=1.912(1.05, 3.48)], age [ OR (95% CI)=0.94(0.911, 0.97)] and body mass index (BMI) (kg/m 2) [ OR (95% CI) =0.875(0.807, 0.948)] were associated with lower bone strength. Conclusion:There is positive correlation between the bone strength index of quantitative ultrasound and bone mineral density of DXA. AS patients with radiographic hip involvement are characterized by decreased bone strength and are more likely to develop osteoporosis and fragile fractures. The risk factors of low bone strength are radiographic hip involvement, age and BMI.

Objective To study the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the rehabilitation of rats with cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham-operated control group, a model group and a TMS group with 25 rats in each group. A cerebral infarction model was established in the latter two groups by left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). TMS was started at either 12 or 24 hours after reperfusion, and sham-TMS was given to the first two groups at the same time points. The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA were measured by RT-PCR after 14 days. Results Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA were detected in all groups. The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in the TMS-12 h group, and that of BDNF mRNA in the TMS-24 h group were significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusions The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA in the brains of rats after cerebral infarction peak when TMS is administered 12 h and 24 h after reperfusion, respectively. TMS might have protective and rehabilitative effects on rats after cere-bral infarct.

Objective To study the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) combined with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the expression of the B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 gene (Bcl-2) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) after cerebral infarction. Methods One hundred Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly and equally divided into a normal group, a sham-operated control group, a model group and an EA plus TMS group. A cerebral infarction model was established in the latter two groups using left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Five-member subgroups of the EA plus TMS group were then treated at 6, 12, 24,48 and 72 hours after reperfusion. Sham EA plus TMS was given to similar sub-groups from the other groups at the same time points. The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA were measured using a RT-PCR at the 14th day. Results Positive expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA was detected around the infarction in all groups. The average expression of both was significantly higher in the EA plus TMS group than in the model group. Bcl-2 mRNA peaked when the therapy was administered at 24 hours and BDNF mRNA at 48 hours.Conclusions The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and BDNF mRNA is maximized when EA plus TMS is administered 24-48 hours after cerebral infarction. EA plus TMS does have protective and rehabilitative effects on rats after cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of RNA interference (RNAi) on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) gene and growth, adhesion,invasiveness and migration of ovarian cancer cells. Methods One specific target sequence of MMP-2 gone and one non-specific sequence (NC group) were chosen,the medium DMEM as blank group.After transfection of ovarian cancer OVCAR-3 cells, the RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein expression of MMP-2 gene, the growth ability was detected by MTT assay, the abilities of adhesion was detected by cell adhesion assay, the invasion and migration were detected by Matrigel invasion assay and wound healing assay. Results By contrast to the NC group,the mRNA expression was decreased by 73.8 ％,78.8 ％ and 78.4 ％(P＜ 0.05) in 24 h,48 h and 72 h after transfection and protein expression was decreased by 72.6 ％,81.2 ％ and 76.4 ％(P＜ 0.05) respectively at the same time. The 48 h group had the most efficient inhibitory effect. Cell growth curve revealed that cell growth was not significantly inhibited (P＞ 0.05). Adhesion was significantly reduced,the inhibitory rate was 55.0 ％ at 60 min and 44.8 ％ at 90 min (P＜ 0.05),respectively. Invasion and migration were significantly reduced as well,the inhibitory rate on invasion and migration were 29.7 ％ and 35.8 ％(P＜0.05), respectively. Conclusion siRNA mediated MMP-2 down-regulation in ovarian OVCAR-3 cells can inhibits its adhesion,invasion and migration,but do not significantly affect its growth,suggesting a important target to ovarian cancer gene-therapies.

Background Doxycycline is a broad spectrum antibiotic,and it is frequently used in the treatment of ocular surface diseases.Objective The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of doxycycline on the inhibition of cell proliferation in bovine corneal myofibroblasts in vitro and assess its contribution to ocular surface repairing mechanism.Methods Six fresh bovine corneas were collected.The corneal stromal layer was isolated by two-step method of 1.0 g/L and 2.0 g/L collegenase-1.Isolated cells were plated at mantaryay culture flask in 10％ FBS of RPMI-1640.Vimentin and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) organization were evaluated by immunocytochemistry,and the cells with influoresccence staining for vimentin and α-SMA were identified as the corneal myofibroblasts.Doxycycline at the concentrations of 10,20,40,60,80 mg/L was added to the medium,respectively,in different concentrations of doxycycline groups.Dexamethasone (120 mg/L)was used in the same way in the positive control group,and no drug was used in the negative control group.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and the cell cycle was analyzed by BD FACScan flow cytometer assay 24 hours and 48 hours after addition of any drug.Results The cells grew well and showed the positive response for vimentin and α-SMA.MTT assay showed that the A570values of bovine corneal myofibroblasts were gradually declined with the increase of the concentration of doxycycline and lapse of active time,showing statistically significant difference (Fconcentration =1233.778,P＜0.001 ; Ftime =227.564,P ＜ 0.001).And the difference between the two factors was also statistically significant (Ftime*concentration =51.656,P＜0.001).Flow cytometry cell cycle analysis showed that 24 hours after 10,20,40,60,80 mg/L doxycycline treated,the perentage of of corneal myofibroblast cell in G0-G1 phase was 82.85％,84.36％,85.18％,87.12 ％ and 89.31％,showing significant increase in comparison with 63.89％ of the negative control group (all P＜0.05),and that of 40 mg/L doxycycline group was near the positive control group.Forty-eight hours after 10,20,40,60,80 mg/L doxycycline treated,the perentage of of corneal myofibroblast cell in G0-G1 phase was 82.78％,86.15％,88.23％,89.57％,93.00％,with significant increase in comparison with 70.17％ of the negative control group (all P ＜ 0.01),and that of 40 mg/L doxycycline group was near the positive control group.Conclusions The growth of the bovine corneal myofibroblasts is inhibited by doxycycline in time-and dosedependent manner in the range from 10 mg/L to 80 mg/L,and 40 mg/L of doxycycline has an obviously inhibitory action as 120 mg/L dexamethasone.
