Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis of esophagogastric varices (EGV) compared with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). Methods CDFI and CEUS were performed on 23 variceal patients based on the B mode ultrasound examination. The blood flow of esophageal varices (EV) or gastric varices (GV) displayed with CDFI and CEUS were compared. Results The flow signal demonstration rate of EV with CDFI and CEUS was 42.11% (8/19) and 73.68% (14/19), while that of GV with CDFI and CEUS was 76.47% (13/17) and 94.12% (16/17), respectively. CEUS displayed the flow signal of EV better than CDFI did (χ~2=4.17, P＜0.05), but the flow signal demonstration rate of GV was not significantly different (χ~2=1.33, P＞0.05). Conclusion CEUS can be used more extensively in clinic practice for diagnosis of EGV.

Objective To explore the effects of diet and/or exercise intervention on oxidative stress of overweight or obese adolescents.Methods Thirty-one adolescents with normal body weight(normal control group)and 93 overweight or obese adolescents(average age(13.6 ±0.7)years; body mass index (BMI)22.4 to 34.1 kg/m2)were enrolled in this study.The overweight or obese participants were then randomly assigned to the diet group(group A),exercise group(group B),diet plus exercise group(group C),and non-intervention group(group D).Individualized caloric intake was carried out.One-hour afterschool exercise was performed once per day,4 days per week for 10 weeks.Changes of anthropometry,body composition,and metabolic biomarkers were determined.Results Compared to the normal control group,serum levels of fasting glucose,total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and malondialdehyde(M DA)of the in overweight group were significant increased(all P ＜ 0.05),although the level of SOD was significant decreased(P ＜ 0.05).Serum MDA level was positively correlated with bodyweight,BMI,TC,and LDL-C(R values were 0.209,0.228,0.274,and 0.263,respectively ; all P ＜0.05),and serum SOD level was negatively correlated with bodyweight and BMI(R values were-0.334 and-0.362,respectively ; both P ＜ 0.05).Group A,B and C showed a significant decrease in BMI,waist circumference and body fat after the intervention(all P ＜ 0.05).The level of MDA was significantly decreased after the intervention in group A and B(both P ＜ 0.05); the levels of TC and LDL-C were significantly decreased in group B and C(both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Oxidative stress could have existed in overweight adolescents even when their serum glucose and lipid profiles are at a normal level.Ten-week diet and/or exercise intervention may contribute to improved body weight control,lipid metabolism,and oxidative stress response in this population.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe combined with conventional western medicine therapy in the treatment of diabetic diarrhea patients with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome.Methods:According to the random number table method, 62 patients with diabetic diarrhea with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome from June 2019 to June 2021 in Shunyi Hospital of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, who met the inclusion criteria, were divided into two groups, with 31 in each group. The control group was treated with standardized hypoglycemic and mecobalamin treatment, while the treatment group was treated with Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks and followed up for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, TCM syndrome scores and Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) scores were performed before and after treatment. The Health Related Quality of Life Scale (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. The number of bowel movements and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded before and after treatment, and followed up for 2 weeks to observe the disease recurrence rate.Results:The total effective rate was 93.55% (29/31) in the treatment group and 74.19% (23/31) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between both groups ( χ2=5.44, P=0.020). After treatment, the number of bowel movements in the treatment group [(1.02±0.23) times/d vs. (2.35±0.45) times/d, t=14.65] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01); the BSFS scores (1.93±0.43 vs. 3.23±0.43, t=11.87) and TCM syndrome score (0.93±0.25 vs. 1.95±0.36, t=12.96) in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01); the SF-36 score (92.32±2.99 vs. 86.23±3.12, t=7.85) in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). No gastrointestinal adverse events were found in both groups during treatment. During the follow-up period, there were 4 cases (4/23) of recurrence in the control group after treatment, and no recurrence in the treatment group. There was a statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate between the two groups ( χ2=4.28, P=0.039). Conclusion:The Jianpi Bushen Zhixie Recipe combined with conventional western medicine can improve symptoms and quality of life of patients with diabetic diarrhea with spleen and kidney yang-deficiency syndrome, reduce adverse reactions and recurrence rate.

Objective:To evaluate the role of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of blood-brain barrier permeability in mechanically ventilated mice and the relationship with protein kinase C (PKC).Methods:One hundred and fifty clean-grade healthy male C57BL6 mice, weighing 20-25 g, aged 8-12 weeks, were divided into 5 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), mechanical ventilation group (group V), LY317615 group (group L), dexmedetomidine group (group D), and dexmedetomidine+ PMA group (group DP). Group C spontaneously breathed air for 6 h. The animals were mechanically ventilated for 6 h in group V. PKC inhibitor LY3176 15 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before mechanical ventilation in group L. Dexmedetomidine 50 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before mechanical ventilation in D and DP groups. PKC activator PMA 15 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 60 min before mechanical ventilation in group DP. Mice were anesthetized at 1 day after mechanical ventilation, then sacrificed and hippocampal tissues were taken for microscopic examination of pathological changes in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas (with a light microscope). Brain tissues were also taken to measure the water content and content of Evans blue (EB) and to detect the expression of PKC and AQP4 (by Western blot). The cognitive function was evaluated using a novel object recognition task at 3 days after mechanical ventilation. Results:Compared with group C, the water content and EB content of brain tissues were significantly increased after mechanical ventilation, the expression of PKC and AQP4 in brain tissues was up-regulated, the percentage of novel object exploration and discrimination index were decreased ( P<0.05), and the histopathological damage in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas was aggravated in group V and group DP. Compared with group V, the water content and EB content of brain tissues were significantly decreased after mechanical ventilation, the expression of PKC and AQP4 in brain tissues was down-regulated, the percentage of novel object exploration and discrimination index were increased ( P<0.05), and the histopathological damage in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas was significantly attenuated in group D and group L. Compared with group D, the water content and EB content of brain tissues were significantly increased after mechanical ventilation, the expression of PKC and AQP4 in brain tissues was up-regulated, the percentage of novel object exploration and discrimination index were decreased ( P<0.05), and the histopathological damage in the hippocampal CA1 and CA3 areas was aggravated in group DP. Conclusions:AQP4 is involved in dexmedetomidine-induced reduction of blood-brain barrier permeability in mechanically ventilated mice, and the mechanism is related to inhibiting activation of PKC.
