Objective To observe the effects of early exercise on the expression of synaptophysin pro-tein and Nissl bodies in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage( HIBD) , and to investigate possi-ble mechanisms. Methods A total of 35 neonatal Wistar rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a train-ing group of 13, a control group of 11 and a sham-operation group of 11. HIBD was induced in the rats of the training and control groups, while those in the sham-operation group had the left common carotid artery separa-ted, but without ligation. Seven days after successful modeling, the training group began swimming training for 10 min every day lasting for 14 days, while the other groups were not trained. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of synaptophysin in the affected hippocampus of the brain based on the ratio of the gray band val-ues for synaptophysin and beta. Nissl staining was applied to observe the number of Nissl bodies and the morphol-ogy of the neurons in the hippocampus. Results The average expression of synaptophysin in the sinistrocere-bral hippocampus of the rats in the control group was significantly lower than that in the sham-operation group, but significantly higher than that of the training group. The control group had significantly fewer Nissl bodies than the sham-operation group, but significantly more than the training group. Conclusion Early training can in-crease the expression of synaptophysin and the number of Nissl body in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.

Objective: To investigate the hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge among clinicians in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the evidence for intensified training and improved diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C among clinicians. Methods: In November, 2021, clinicians were sampled using a stratified random sampling method from a city-level and a county (district)-level hepatitis C designated hospital in Jiaxing City. A questionnaire survey was performed using the Questionnaire for Hepatitis C Prevention and Control Knowledge among Clinicians, and the awareness of basic knowledge, professional knowledge and related knowledge about hepatitis C prevention and control among clinicians were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 186 questionnaires were allocated and 179 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate was 96.24%. The respondents included 107 men (59.78%) and 72 women (40.22%) and had a mean age of (37.06±9.46) years. There were 107 respondents with a bachelor degree (59.78%), 56 with junior professional titles (31.28%), and 170 from non-infectious disease departments (94.97%). The awareness of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge was 96.09%, and the awareness of “Transfusion of blood containing hepatitis C virus may acquire hepatitis C” was high (98.88%), and the awareness of “Hepatitis C can be cured” was low (77.09%). The awareness of professional hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge was 3.91% to 100.00%, and the awareness of “Pathogens of hepatitis C” (100.00%) and “Recommended screening populations for hepatitis C” (86.59%) was high, while the awareness of “There are two categories of hepatitis C cases: clinically diagnosed cases and confirmed cases” (3.91%) and “Clinical diagnosis of hepatitis C: positive anti-HCV antibody + any one of abnormal liver function or epidemiological history or clinical symptoms” (3.91%) was low. The awareness rates of “The state has included antiviral agents against hepatitis C into medical insurance” was and “Antiviral agents against hepatitis C are reimbursed in outpatient and inpatient departments of our hospital” were 81.56% and 59.78%, respectively. There were 69 clinicians participating hepatitis C-related training within one year (38.55%), and the awareness of clinicians that had participated in hepatitis C-related training had a higher awareness rate of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge than those without participation (100.00% vs. 93.64%, P<0.05). Conclusion The awareness of basic hepatitis C prevention and control knowledge is high among clinicians in Jiaxing City; however, the training on diagnosis and classification criteria of hepatitis C and related medical insurance policy require to be improved.

Objective To observe changes of the pancreas after limb ischemia reperfusion, and the protective effect of taurine (Tau) postconditioning. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (Control), limb ischemia reperfusion (LIR) group, and taurine postconditioning (Tau) group (n=8 for each group). Plasma contents of xanthine oxidase (XOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), pancreatic amylase (AMS), pancreatic lipase (LPS) and trypsin were detected in three groups. Morphological changes of the pancreas were observed using optical microscopy. The expressions of anti-C/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) in pancreas were analyzed by immunohistochemistry assay. TUNEL staining was performed to estimate the apoptosis of pancre-atic cells. Results Compared with the control group and Tau group, plasma contents of MDA, XOD, ROS, AMS, LPS, and trypsin were significantly increased in LIR group, but the level of SOD was significantly lower in LIR group ( P<0.05). HE staining showed that acinar structure was disrupted , pancreatic lobule gap widened, stromal vascular dilatation and conges-tion were observed in LIR group. The perivascular infiltration of inflammatory cells appeared, islet cells were damaged with irregular islet. The immunohistochemical analysis showed the increased expression of CHOP in pancreas in LIR group than that of Tau group. And the pancreatic apoptosis was enhanced in LIR group detected by TUNEL staining. Conclusion Tau-rine postconditioning can ameliorate pancreatic injury following limb ischemia reperfusion, which may be related to the inhi-bition of oxidative stress, down-regulation of CHOP expression, thereby reducing endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of BARD 1 gene and BRCA1 gene in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Methods Nineteen EOC patients with BRCA1 gene mutation and 50 EOC cases without BRCA1 gene mutation between January 2016 and October 2016 were collected,and all EOC were diagnosed by pathological method.BARD1 gene variants were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS).The SNP of BARD1 gene was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation.Logistic regression analysis was used to research the clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation associated with BARD1 gene SNP.Pearson's chi-square test was used to analyze the association between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser with different clinicopathologic features and BRCA1 gene mutation risk.Results (1) Eight BARD1 gene variants were found in 69 ovarian cancer patients,in which Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser were common variants,and the rate of mutation were all 54％ (37/69).(2) There was a significant linear correlation among Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser (all P＜0.01).(3) Obvious differences were found in Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser of BARD1 gene between BRCA1+ and BRCA1 (all P＜0.05).(4) No differences were found between BARD1 gene Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser and the clinicopathologic features (all P＞0.05),while obvious differences were found in BRCA1 gene mutation compared to the controls group.The risk of BRCA1 mutation in Val507Met and Arg378Ser were more evident in subjects with negative family history,positive menopause history,negative tubal ligation,onset age (≤60 years old) and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy in EOC (all P＜0.05),while Pro24Ser was only more evident in positive menopause history of EOC (P＜0.05).Conclusions BARD1 Val507Met,Arg378Ser and Pro24Ser are the common genotypes,which are associated with BRCA1 mutation in EOC.The family history,menopause history,tubal ligation,onset age and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy have effects on BARD1 SNP in the risk of BRCA1 gene mutation.

Objective:To examine the status of career decision-making and its influencing factors among nursing postgraduate students.Methods:From October 2018 to December 2019, 249 nursing postgraduate students from universities were selected by convenience sampling method and were investigated using general information questionnaire, Career Decision-making Difficulties Questionnaire, Professional Identity Scale and Proactive Personality Scale.Results:The score of postgraduate nursing students' career decision-making difficulties was (58.10±8.98). Correlation analysis showed that the score of the career decision-making difficulties was positively correlated with professional identity and proactive personality of nursing postgraduate students ( r=0.187, 0.581, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, whether they had received career counseling and proactive personality scores were influencing factors of career decision-making difficulties which explained 38.0% of the total variation. Conclusions:The career decision-making difficulties of nursing postgraduate students is at a medium level. Educators can reduce the career decision-making difficulties of nursing postgraduate students by conducting career counseling, improving professional identity or enhancing career initiative.

Aim To explore the effects of mangiferin on tissue factor(TF) expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the underlying mechanisms.Methods HUVECs were isolated and primarily cultured in vitro.After the treatment with mangiferin and oxidized low density lipoprotein(oxLDL), TF expression was determined in HUVECs with real-time PCR and Western blot.Results oxLDLinduced the mRNA and protein expression and pro-thrombotic activity of TF in HUVECs.However, the inductive effects of oxLDL were blocked significantly by mangiferin.Furthermore, mangiferin modified TF expression and activity in a dose-dependent manner.Mangiferin was demonstrated to enhance the activity of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma(PPARγ).In contrast, GW9662, an antagonist of PPARγ, reversed at least partially the suppressive effects of mangiferin on TF.Conclusion Through activating PPARγ, mangiferin suppresses the expression of TF serving pro-thrombotic functions in endothelial cells.

Objective: To evaluate the surgical prediction accuracy of Proplan CMF software for zygomatic reduction surgery using L-shaped osteotomy. Methods: Pre-and-postoperative 1-year CBCT data of 26 patients with zygomatic arch hypertrophy were imported in Proplan CMF software during 2014 Jan. to 2016 Jun., the 3D models were reconstructed for simulation of L-shaped osteotomy, characteristic landmarks were selected and 3D point measurement system was established. The measurement result were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Meanwhile, the overlap color grading charts of preoperative and simulated images were also observed. Results: The facial width, bilateral zygomatic process angle and facial width index were [(128.56±2.72) mm, (106.87±2.53)°, (108.56±3.02)°and 1.41±0.03] in postoperative result, [(129.49±2.26) mm, (108.68±2.40)°, (108.85±3.02)°and 1.42±0.03]in simulated result and [(135.45±2.45) mm, (102.50±2.60)°, (103.41±2.56)°and 1.48±0.05] in preoperative result, with significant difference between preoperative and postoperative result, or between preoperative and simulated result (P<0.05), while no significance between postoperative and simulated result (P>0.05). The soft tissue zygomatic process distance was(153.25±2.58) mm in preoperative result, (150.23±2.76)mm in postoperative result , (149.36±3.27)mm in simulated result, with no significance between any of two groups result (P>0.05). The zygomatic process distance and bilateral zygomatic process tragal distance were (126.35±2.56) mm, (68.75±2.15) mm and(68.86±3.21) mm in postoperative result, showing significant differences compared with preoperative result [(120.16±3.18) mm, (74.58±3.19) mm and(76.14±3.15) mm] and simulated result [(118.86±3.45) mm, (73.85±3.57) mm and(76.87±2.58) mm] respectively(P<0.05), while zygomatic arch distance was not statistically different among the three groups(P>0.05). It indicated that predictive accuracy of facial width, facial width index, zygomatic process angle, soft tissue zygomatic arch distance was high but the soft tissue zygomatic process distance and zygomatic process tragal distance was relatively low. Meanwhile, the color overlay image showed that predictive accuracy was not good in the zygomatic region while the zygomatic arch area was high. Conclusions The predictive accuracy of Proplan CMF software for zygomatic arch hypertrophy is relatively high except for the zygomatic region. Further improvement of the CMF software is needed.

Objective To investigate the mutations of BRCA genes in sporadic high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and study its clinical significance. Methods Sixty-eight patients between January 2015 and January 2016 from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were collected who were based on pathological diagnosis of ovarian cancer and had no reported family history, and all patients firstly hospitalized were untreated in other hospitals before. (1)The BRCA genes were detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) method. (2)The serum tumor markers included carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA125, CA199, and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) were detected by the chemiluminescence methods, and their correlation was analyzed by Pearson linear correlation. Descriptive statistics and comparisons were performed using two-tailed t-tests, Pearson′s chi square test, Fisher′s exact tests or logistic regression analysis as appropriate to research the clinicopathologic features associated with BRCA mutations, including age, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO)stage, platinum-based chemotherapy sensitivity, distant metastases, serum tumor markers (STM). Results (1) Fifteen cases (22%, 15/68) BRCA mutations were identified (BRCA1: 11 cases; BRCA2: 4 cases), and four novel mutations were observed. (2) The levels of CEA, CA199, and HE4 were lower in BRCA mutations compared to that in control group, while no significant differences were found (P>0.05), but the level of CA125 was much higher in BRCA mutation group than that in controls (t=-3.536,P=0.003). Further linear regression analysis found that there was a significant linear correlation between CA125 and HE4 group (r=0.494,P<0.01), and the same correlation as CEA and CA199 group (r=0.897,P<0.01). (3) Single factor analysis showed that no significant differences were observed in onset age, FIGO stage, distant metastasis, and STM between BRCA+and BRCA- group (P>0.05), while significant differences were found in CA125 and sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy between the patients with BRCA mutation and wild type (P<0.05). The multiple factors analysis showed that the high level of CA125 was a independent risk factor of BRCA mutations in sporadic HGSOC (P=0.007). Conclusion The combination of CA125 with BRCA have great clinical significance, the mutation of BRCA gene could guild the clinical chemotherapy regiments.

Available antidepressants are based on the tricyclic and monoamine oxidase inhibitor which were discovered more than sixteen years ago.These antidepressants were found to promote serotonin or noradrenaline function in the brain to produce a antidepressant effect.Although newer agents are more specific,but unfortunately,the issues of slower effect,low-response rate and side-effect are still unsolved.Cordycepin is the main effective component of Cordyceps Militaris which has been used as a Chinese herb and food for hundreds of years.This review summarizes the antidepressant effect and the involved mechanisms of Cordycepin,and provides a novel concept on the research and development of antidepressants by using Chinese herb.

0bjective: To establish a three-dimensional finite element model of mandible and study the transverse displacement of proximal segment after Bilateral Sagittal Split Ramus Osteotomy (BSSRO) with different retrogression amounts during mastication. Methods: DICOM data of a skull model were processed with MIMICS and ANSYS software, reconstructing the 3D model including the teeth and temporomandibular joint in order to simulate BSSRO and evaluate the transverse displacement of proximal segment with different retrogression amounts during mastication. Results: The mean of proximal segment width change were 2.955 mm and 3.490 mm, when retrogression amounts of distal segmentwere 3 mm and 8 mm, respectively.No significant difference between the two groups were found (P=0.131). Meanwhile the displacement color scale of the 3D finite element models showed that the apparent transverse displacement distribution of the proximal segment was measured around the gonial area, decreased from the exterior to the interior. Conclusions The mandibular angle width was significantly expanded right after BSSRO. The masticatory muscle system and single cortical fixation system played an important role in expanding the width of proximal segment. However there was no correlation between the widening effect and retrogression amounts of distal segment of mandible.
