Objective:To assess the characteristics change of sleep architecture in drug naive patients with schizophrenia,compared with healthy control.Methods:The key words including schizophrenia and sleep architecture (or sleep structure or sleep disturbance or polysomnogram and so on) were used to search literatures in MEDLINE,Embase,Springer,PsychINFO,google scholar,Wanfang data,published from 1980 to 2015.Fifteen studies that compared sleep architecture in drug naive patients with schizophrenia and healthy control were included.Literature quality evaluation was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.The meta-analysis was performed by using Stata13.0 software.Results:Compared to healthy control,the total sleep time decreased (P < 0.01),the sleep latency increased (P < 0.01),the sleep efficiency decreased (P < 0.01),and the rapid-eye-movemem (REM) sleep latency increased (P < 0.01) significantly in drug naive patients with schizophrenia.The proportion of stage1 was increased,and the proportions of stage4 and slow wave sleep stage were decreased,the differences between case and control were statistically significant.Conclusion:In the control of drug effects,patients with schizophrenia may have poorer sleep quality of be poorer than healthy controls,such as the decreased total sleep time,specifically slow wave sleep,prolonged sleep latency and decreased sleep efficiency.

Objective:To study whether curcumin inhibits the proliferation and promotes the apoptosis of nephroblastoma through activating the miR-192-5p/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to investigate the effects of curcumin on the proliferation of nephroblastoma SK-NEP-1 cells and the appropriate concentration. The apoptosis rate of SK-NEP-1 cells was detected by V-FITC/PI. Luciferase reporter assay was used to verify the binding activity between miR-192-5p and PI3K. RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of miR-192-5p at mRNA level. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PI3K and Akt at protein level.Results:Curcumin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of SK-NEP-1 cells and induce cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. RT-PCR results showed that curcumin could significantly increase the expression of miR-192-5p. In addition, miR-192-5p significantly inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis, and enhanced the effects of curcumin on the proliferation and apoptosis of SK-NEP-1 cells. Luciferase reporter assay suggested that miR-192-5p could bind to PI3K. Western blot results showed that curcumin down-regulated the expression of PI3K and Akt at protein level by mediating the expression of miR-192-5p.Conclusions:Curcumin could inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of nephroblastoma cells through mediating the expression of miR-192-5p and further inhibiting the downstream PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To determine the contents of 11 components in Xueli zhike syrup, establish its chemometric method and provide reference for its quality control. METHODS HPLC method was established to simultaneously determine the contents of amygdalin, deapi-platycoside E, platycoside E, platycodin D3, euscaphic acid, tormentic acid, maslinic acid, corosolic acid, praeruptorin A, praeruptorin B and praeruptorin E in 12 batches of Xueli zhike syrup. The quality evaluation of 12 batches of samples was performed by chemometrics. RESULTS The 11 components had good linear relationships within their respective ranges (r≥0.999 1); RSDs of precision, reproducibility and stability (24 h) tests were all lower than 2.00%. The average recovery rates ranged 96.90%-100.01% (RSDs were all lower than 2.00%). Cluster analysis showed that 12 batches of samples were clustered into 3 groups. Principal component analysis showed that the first two principal components could represent 88.53% information of 11 components in Xueli zhike syrup. Partial least squares-discrimination analysis showed that euscaphic acid, amygdalin and praeruptorin A were the main potential markers affecting the quality of Xueli zhike syrup. CONCLUSIONS The established method can be used to control the quality of Xueli zhike syrup.
