Objective It aims to investigate the relationships among the categories of Comprehensive Version for Stroke as described in the International Classiifcation of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set, and to provide new supports for Judicial Appraisal of functioning in stroke by ICF functioning mapping.Methods The variables of 59 categories of ICF assessment scale and the samples of 106 persons’ are selected and used in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for mining dependencies among those variables. The graphical modeling and analyzing with the software Gephi provides a visual map of the correlations among those classiifcations. Results 59 interconnected categories which organized into the functioning mapping. b340, b735, b175 and b152 are centrally positioned categories because of their high correlation.Conclusion Functioning mapping by graphical modeling can reveal complex relational structures embedded in functioning classiifcations, which provides the support for using ICF to appraisal stroke.

Objective To investigate the relationship between Ct value of mice liver and postmortem interval (PMI) under various ambient temperatures. Methods mice were stored at 10℃, 15℃, 20℃, 25℃ and 30℃ after execution, and total RNA was extracted from mice liver every 6 hours (PMI 6h to 72h). The levels of 18s rRNA were examined using real-time PCR. The results were expressed by cycle threshold (Ct) value to explore relationship between PMI and Ct value, and the interpolation functions were established to estimate PMI. Results In each group, Ct value increased with PMI increased. Surface equation was obtained after interpolation analysis on temperature range 10℃~30℃. The three-variable quintic surface equation was f(x, y)=-426.9+30.82x+44.48y-1.297x2-1.837xy-1.388y2+0.034 38x3+0.038 17x2y+0.038 67xy2+0.028 77y3-0.000 612 9x4-3.897e-7x3y-0.001 223x2y2+0.000 256 6xy3-0.000 537 4y4+3.606e-6x5-2.846e-6x4y+1.009e-5x3y2-3.439e-6x2y3-2.556e-7xy4+2.664e-6y5(r2=0.999 4). Conclusion The rule of Ct value changes at ambient temperature complied with three-variable quintic surface equation distribution. Measurement of interpolation function may be used for PMI estimation at ambient temperature.

Based on the traditional medical theory,the theory of"ear-brain-liver-spleen correlation"was proposed by linking the ear with the brain,liver and spleen.Then,by combining the Chinese medical etiology of Functional Dyspepsia(FD)and the corresponding modern medical mechanism,we realized that the close connection between the ear,brain,liver and spleen is the theoretical basis for treating FD from the ear.In recent years,a new type of vagus nerve stimulation therapy,auricular concha eletro-acupuncture(ACEA),has been developed to treat FD by regulating the liver and spleen through the regulation of the brain,relieving liver depression and strengthening spleen and qi,thus treating FD.In terms of modern medicine,this is related to its ability to reduce anxiety and depression,reduce pain perception,enhance gastrointestinal motility and reduce central and peripheral inflammation by regulating the activity of the corresponding brain functional areas.By exploring the application of auricular concha eletro-acupuncture in FD on the basis of the"ear-brain-liver-spleen correlation",we will better understand the unique role of auricular stimulation in regulating the brain and the blood of the liver and spleen,and promote the inheritance,innovation and development of TCM theory.

Objective The article is to study on the detection of α-helix proteins in post-traumatic epileptogenic focus by FTIR-mapping. Methods Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-mapping were applied to identifying α-helix by point-by-point scanning in post-traumatic epileptogenic focus sections and to develop FTIR-mapping profiles. Result The high absorbance of α-helix is accord with post-traumatic epilepsy, there are some significant differences between high absorbance and low absorbance. Conclusion α-helix proteins are distributed in post-traumatic epileptogenic focus widely, thus α-helix protein are involved in post-traumatic epilepsy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Danggui Shaoyaosan on ferroptosis in the rat model of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and explore the underlying mechanism based on the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) signaling pathway. MethodsThe sixty SD rats were randomly grouped as follows: control, model, Yishanfu (0.144 g·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.44, 4.88, and 9.76 g·kg-1, respectively) Danggui Shaoyaosan. A high-fat diet was used to establish the rat model of NAFLD. After 12 weeks of modeling, rats were treated with corresponding agents for 4 weeks. Then, the body weight and liver weight were measured, and the liver index was calculated. At the same time, serum and liver samples were collected. The levels or activities of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and Fe2+ in the serum and TC, TG, free fatty acids (FFA), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and Fe2+ in the liver were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe the pathological changes in the liver. Immunofluorescence was used to assess the reactive oxygen species (ROS) content in the liver. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, GPX4, transferrin receptor 1 (TFR1), and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) in the liver were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, the model group showed increases in the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), and decreases in the activities of SOD, GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.05, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the liver tissue in the model group presented steatosis, iron deposition, mitochondrial shrinkage, and blurred or swollen mitochondrial cristae. Compared with the model group, all doses of Danggui Shaoyaosan reduced the body weight, liver weight, liver index, levels or activities of TC, TG, ALT, AST, and Fe2+ in the serum, levels of TC, TG, FFA, MDA, Fe2+, and ROS in the liver, and protein levels of TFR1 and DMT1 in the liver (P<0.01), while increasing the activities of SOD and GPX and the protein levels of Nrf2, SLC7A11, and GPX4 in the liver (P<0.01). Furthermore, Danggui Shaoyaosan alleviated steatosis, iron deposition, and mitochondrial damage in the liver. ConclusionDanggui Shaoyaosan may inhibit lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis by activating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway to treat NAFLD.
