Objective To observe the clinical effects of Dexmedetomidine in combination with Sevoflurane for hysteroscopic resection. Methods 72 patients underwent hysteroscopic resection from January 2014 to December 2015 were divided into study group and control group according to the anesthesia mode. Patients in study group were in combination anesthesia mode of intravenous infusion of Dexmedetomidine and Sevoflurane inhalation, while patients in control group received Sevoflurane inhalation only. The clinical parameters and adverse reactions were observed and studied. Results Compared with control group, significant differences were shown in patients heart rate at T2, T3 and T4 and breathing rate at T2 in observation group (P < 0.05). Compared with T1 phase, there was statistical significance in study group patients systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), RR at T2, HR at T3, T4 (P < 0.05); Compared with control group, patients in study group had short onset time of anesthesia and long recovery of consciousness, while there has no statistical significance of the two groups (P > 0.05). Compared with control group, the respiratory depression, sedative effect of Ramsay sedation score, wakefulness, alertness / sedation score of observation method (OAA/S), digital pain score (NPRS), postoperative uterine contraction pain score, postoperative nausea and vomiting of study group had significant statistical differences (P < 0.05). Conclusion Combination anesthesia mode of intravenous pumping Dexmedetomidine and inhalation of Sevoflurane has good clinical effects for patients undergoing hysteroscopic resection.

Objective To evaluate the effect of aminoguanidine on cell apoptosis induced by acute myocardial ischemia in rats.Methods Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-290 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):sham operation group (group S),myocardial ischemia group (group Ⅰ),and aminoguanidine group (group AG).The model of acute myocardial ischemia was established by ligating the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery of rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate.Aminoguanidine 100 mg/kg was intraperitoneally administrated at 6 h of ischemia in AG group,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of aminoguanidine in group Ⅰ.The chest was opened at 3 h after aminoguanidine administration and hearts were quickly removed for detection of apoptosis in cardiomyocytes (by TUNEL) and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in cardiomyocytes (by immuno-histochemistry),and for microscopic examination with light microscope.Apoptotic rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the apoptotic rate was significantly increased,the expression of Bax was up-regulated,and the expression of Bcl-2 was downregulated and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased in group Ⅰ.Compared with group Ⅰ,the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased,the expression of Bax was down-regulated,and the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated,and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was increased in group AG.The pathological changes of myocardial cells were significantly attenuated in AG group as compared with group Ⅰ.Conclusion Amionguanidine can inhibit apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and is helpful in mitigating injury induced by acute myocardial ischemia in rats.
4. Effects of cytomegalovirus infection on structure and function of mitochondria
Chinese Journal of Experimental and Clinical Virology 2019;33(1):103-107
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a kind of common opportunistic pathogenic virus in nature. Infections with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) always lead to serious consequences among immunodeficiency and immunocompromised individuals. And congenital HCMV infection is the most common cause of newborn malformation which result in neurodevelopmental abnormalities in children. Mitochondria are not only the leading sites of aerobic respiration, but also play important roles in regulating cell growth and cycle. Infection with cytomegalovirus will disrupt the structure of mitochondria and affect the function of mitochondria-associated membrane (MAM). This review summarized the progress about the effects of CMV infection on the structure and function of mitochondria and reveal the role of mitochondria in CMV infection on body damage.

Objective:
To investigate the association between the learning and living style with developmental dyslexia in school-aged children.
Methods:
Using stratified cluster sampling, a total of 11 668 schoolaged children (grade 2 to 6) in the cities of Wuhan, Hangzhou and Jining were selected to participate in this programme from April 2017 to April 2018. The investigation tools combined the questionnaire on associated factors for reading ability, Dyslexia Checklist for Chinese Children and Pupil Rating Scale Revised Screening for Learning.
Results:
Pupils with more than 20 minutes of exercise each day (OR=0.43-0.64) and at least 1-2 times per week (OR=0.34-0.48) had a lower risk of dyslexia. The association was observed between going to the library more than 1-2 times per semester (OR=0.41-0.62) and the decrease risk of dyslexia. Lacking active learning (OR=7.76, 95%CI=4.71-12.78), scheduled reading time (OR=2.55, 95%CI=2.01-3.23) and extracurricular training classes (OR=1.62, 95%CI=1.27-2.07) were positively associated with dyslexia. There was no significant difference in screen time duration between dyslexic and non-dyslexic children. Using electronic devices for learning was associated with decreased risk of dyslexia (OR=0.47, 95%CI=0.33-0.67), while playing video games was correlated with increased risk of dyslexia (OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.16-2.41).
Conclusion
Physical exercise, good study habits and using the electronic products in a proper way could reduce the risk of dyslexia to a certain extent. Parents and teachers should guide the school-aged children to develop a good learning and living style.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of GRIK2 and NLGN1 with autism spectrum disorder in a Chinese population. METHODS: We performed spatio-temporal expression analysis of GRIK2 and NLGN1 in the developing prefrontal cortex, and examined the expression of the genes in ASD cases and healthy controls using the GSE38322 data set. Following, we performed a case-control study in a Chinese population. RESULTS: The analysis using the publicly available expression data showed that GRIK2 and NLGN1 may have a role in the development of human brain and contribute to the risk of ASD. Later genetic analysis in the Chinese population showed that the GRIK2 rs6922753 for the T allele, TC genotype and dominant model played a significant protective role in ASD susceptibility (respectively: OR=0.840, p=0.023; OR=0.802, p=0.038; OR=0.791, p=0.020). The NLGN1 rs9855544 for the G allele and GG genotype played a significant protective role in ASD susceptibility (respectively: OR=0.844, p=0.019; OR=0.717, p=0.022). After adjusting p values, the statistical significance was lost (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results suggested that GRIK2 rs6922753 and NLGN1 rs9855544 might not confer susceptibility to ASD in the Chinese population.

Objective :
To investigate the role of lncSIL in transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-induced alveo- lar epithelial interstitial transformation (EMT) and its related signaling pathways .
Methods :
Western blot was used to detect the effect of lncSIL silencing on the expression of E-cadherin ( E-cad) , alpha-smooth muscle actin ( α- SMA) and Collagen I (Col I) in the process of EMT induced by TGF-β1 . LncSIL interacting proteins were ana- lyzed by RNA pulldown . Western blot was used to detect the effect of overexpression or silencing of lncSIL on the expression of its target gene enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and its downstream factors P21 and cyclin-de- pendent kinase 6 (CDK6) . Flow cytometry was used to analyze the effect of lncSIL on cell cycle progression .
Results:
After lncSIL silencing , the expression of α-SMA and Col I increased , the expression of E-cad decreased . RNA pulldown assay showed that EZH2 was the target protein that interacted with lncSIL , and the expression of EZH2 increased after silencing lncSIL , the expression of EZH2 downstream gene P21 decreased , CDK6 increased . Flow cytometry showed that the number of cells in S phase significantly increased . When lncSIL was overexpressed , the expression of EZH2 and CDK6 was down-regulated , the expression of P21 was up-regulated , and the number of S phase cells significantly decreased .
Conclusion
LncSIL inhibits TGF-β1-induced alveolar epithelial cell mesen- chymal transition by negatively regulating EZH2/P21 /CDK6 signaling pathway to inhibit cell cycle progression .
