Objective:To investigate the relationship between serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), peripheral blood microRNA-126 (miR-126) and the number and distribution of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs).Methods:Consecutive patients with non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease admitted to the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College from June 2019 to June 2020 were enrolled. The clinical data were collected, 3.0 T MRI examination was performed, and susceptibility-weighted imaging was used to detect CMBs. The serum VEGF concentration was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and miR-126 was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent influencing factors of CMBs. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the correlation between serum VEGF concentration, miR-126 in peripheral blood and the number of CBMs. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum VEGF concentration and relative expression of miR-126 in peripheral blood for CMBs. Results:A total of 193 patients with non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease were enrolled, including 110 patients (57.0%) in the non-CMBs group, 20 (10.4%) in the strictly lobar CMBs group and 63 patients (32.6%) in non-strictly lobar CMBs group. The comparison among the three groups showed that age might be a risk factor for strictly lobar CMBs, while higher VEGF, higher cystatin C level, lower relative expression of miR-126 in peripheral blood, hypertension and previous stroke or transient ischemic attack might be the risk factors for non-strictly lobar CMBs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher serum VEGF concentration was an independent risk factor for non-strictly lobar CMBs (odds ratio 1.186, 95% confidence interval 1.035-1.358; P=0.014), while the higher relative expression of miR-126 was an independent protective factor for non-strictly lobar CMBs (odds ratio 0.154, 95% confidence interval 0-0.269; P=0.026). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher serum VEGF concentration ( r=0.848, P<0.001) and the lower relative expression of miR-126 ( r=-0.043, P=0.035) significantly increased the number of CMBs. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum VEGF for predicting non-strictly lobar CMBs was 0.803 (95% confidence interval 0.741-0.865), the optimal cut-off value was 120.55 ng/L, the sensitivity was 70.7%, and the specificity was 75.5%. Conclusions:In patients with non-acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease, there is a significant correlation between serum VEGF concentration and the relative expression of miR-126 in peripheral blood and the number and distribution of CMBs. Serum VEGF can be used as a biomarker for predicting the presence of non-strictly lobar CMBs.

A reliable method for simultaneous determinition of eleven representative components (neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, shanzhiside, geniposidic acid, genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside, geniposide and secoxyloganin) in combination of chromatographic fingerpint analysis for Reduning injection was developed by ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The method was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 anlytical column (3. 0 mm x 100 mm, 1. 8 µm) with a guard column of Agilent UPLC Guard ZORBAX SB-C18 (3.0 mm x 5 mm) at the column temperature of 30 °C. The gradient mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A)-0. 1% phosphoric acid (B) with a flow rate of 0. 4 mL . min-1. The injection volumn was 2 µL. The detection wavelengths were set at 324 nm and 238 nm for quantit tive analysis and 225 nm for fingerpint chromatography. Neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, shanzhiside, geniposidic acid, genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside, geniposide and secoxyloganin were baseline seperated with good linearity relationships (r >0. 999) between concentration and peak areas over the linear ranges. The average recoverys of the investigated compounds were 103.5%, 100. 2%, 103. 3%, 102. 8%, 101. 3%, 102. 8%, 97. 36%, 99. 62%, 98. 16%, 102. 8%, 99. 27%, respectively. Reduning injection of forty-five batches was analyzed by UPLC finge print chromatography. Thirty batches were selected to generate the reference fringerprint chromatography with fourteen common peaks. The similarity values between the reference fringerprint chromatography and the remaining fifteen batches were higher than 0. 99. The developed method was fast, accurate and sensitive. It could be used as a reference for the quality control of multiple components determination and fingerprint chromatography for Reduning injection in future.

OBJECTIVETo research the effect and route of celastrol on Akt signaling pathway of human leukemia cell line K562 apoptosis.

METHODSThe activities of K562 proliferation cells were detected by MTT assay; cell apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33258 staining assay, DNA fragmentation assay, and Annexin V/PI double-labeled cytometry; the expression and phosphorylation level of Caspase family members and AKT signaling pathway related proteins were determined by Western blot before and after celastrol treatment, and further the effect of AKT signaling pathway on celastrol-induced-apoptosis was analyzed.

RESULTSK562 cell proliferation was inhibited by celastrol in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with the IC50 value for 24 h of (2.15 +/- 0.11) micromol/L. Celastrol induced K562 cells apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, apparent DNA fragmentation and typical apoptotic morphological changes, and accompanied Caspase-3, 8 activation in the apoptosis process were shown after cells were treated with 2.0 micromol/L celastrol for 24 h. And the celastrol induced apoptosis could be blocked by 50 micromol/L z-VAD-fmk (caspase inhibitor), but augmented by 25 micromol/L WORT (PI3K-Akt inhibitor). Moreover, Celastrol decreased the expressions of p-Akt, survivin and Bcl-2 in the Akt signaling pathway.

CONCLUSIONSCelastrol inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells and induced cell apoptosis by way of activating caspase cascade. The decreased level of Akt phosphorylation during celastrol-induced-apoptosis process suggested that celastrol acted synergistically with PI3K-Akt inhibitors in K562 cell apoptosis inducing.

Objective: To analysis the relationship between glucocorticosteroids (GCS) usage and side effects in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Methods: All clinical records of probable SARS patients in Beijing were collected and input into an Epi6 database, in which 1 291 patients had entire information and met the clinical criteria of SARS. The usage of GCS and GCS associated side effects were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Patients accepted GCS therapy were 83.96% (n= 1 084), whereas 16.04%(n=207) did not take GCS. The average dosage of GCS was 160 mg/d in the first week, and then reduced to 80 mg/d and 40 mg/d in the second and the third weeks, respectively. Initial blood glucose, systolic pressure (SBP), and diastolic pressure (DBP) were no significant difference between GCS group and non-GCS group. The highest blood glucose during the treatment in GCS group was markedly higher than that in non-GCS group [(8.68? 4.80 ) mmol/L vs (6.39?3.71) mmol/L, P05). After GCS administration, SBP and DBP were increased gradually, and reached their peaks in the fourth week [SBP (117.2?14.0) mm Hg and DBP (72.5?9.1) mm Hg vs SBP (120.0?12.5) mm Hg and DBP (74.5?8.7) mm Hg, P

Photosynthetic bacteria(PSB) showed great promise in biohydrogen production. Chromatium vinosum was able to utilize the fermentation waste of Klebsiella oxytoca for both photo-fermentative and dark-fermentative hydrogen production. The content of residual sugars and main organic acids decreased obviously after hydrogen production by C.vinosum. The maximal hydrogen production of C.vinosum was obtained at pH 6.5 adding extra 0.1%(W/W) NH_4Cl. Under photo-fermentative conditions, the content of butyric acid decreased by 54.38%, and the maximal hydrogen yield was 36.97 mL/mg cell. Under dark-fermentative conditions, the content of butyric acid decreased by 36.1% and the maximal hydrogen production was achieved as 37.50 mL/mg cell.

OBJECTIVETo determine the optimum treatment for viral myocarditis (VMC).

METHODSA total of 126 VMC patients were randomly divided into the control group (42 cases) that was treated with conventional Western medicine, and the intervention group (84 cases) that was treated with a combination of Chinese medicine (CM) and Western medicine intervention termed optimum proposal of integration of disease and syndrome (OPIDS). Before and after 4 weeks of treatment, the integral of CM syndrome, self-rating depression and anxiety scales (SDS and SAS, respectively), echocardiograms (ECGs), heart rate variability and left ventricular systolic function were observed.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the intervention group showed significant reductions on the SDS and SAS (P <0.05); improvement of premature ventricular beats, atrioventricular blocks, ST-segment abnormalities, and significant T wave changes (P <0.05); greater reductions in standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), standard deviation for per 5 min averages NN intervals (SDANN), and root-mean-square of successive difference of NN intervals (rMSSD) (P <0.05); and increases in cardiac output, stroke volume, and ejection fraction, the last of which was statistically significant (P <0.05). Overall, the treatment efficacy rate was significantly better P<0.05) in the intervention group (75.61%) compared with the control group (69.70%).

CONCLUSIONOPIDS is quite effective in treating VMC and improves symptoms such as anxiety and depression, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, premature ventricular contraction, and cardiac autonomic nervous system dysfunction. [

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the different effects of closed suction drainage and non-drainage for total knee arthroplasty(TKA) and to provide reference information for the choice of clinical treatment.

METHODSRandomized controlled trials (RCTs) of closed suction drainage versus non-drainage for TKA were collected from the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBase, Springer, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WANFANG database. Methodological quality of the RCTs was independently assessed using the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) checklist. Data analysis was performed by RevMan Version 5.1.6 based on the methods recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration.

RESULTSTwenty-one RCTs without bias were finally enrolled, and 1920 enrolled knees were identified into drainage group (979 knees) and non-drainage group (941 knees). A lower incidence of soft tissue ecchymosis was demonstrated in the closed suction drainage group (OR = 0.30, 95%CI: 0.24 - 0.49); however, compared with the non-drainage group, more loss of blood (MD = 320.03, 95%CI: 235.31 - 404.76) and more need of homologous blood transfusion (OR = 1.83, 95%CI: 1.26 - 3.29) were found in the closed suction drainage group. In addition, there were no significant differences of postoperative infection (OR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.22 - 1.32), deep venous thrombosis (OR = 1.00, 95%CI: 0.46 - 2.18), and the joint range of motion (MD = -0.04, 95%CI: -1.11 - 1.02) between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONBased on the current evidence, no obvious advantage is demonstrated for closed suction drainage, in comparison with non-drainage for TKA.
