Aim To explore the mechanism of oxiracetam promoting neurogenesis and migration in rats with cer-ebral infarction through stromal cell-derived factor-1α(SDF-1α)/C-X-C chemokine receptor 4(CXCR4)pathway.Methods 100 SD rats were randomly divided into control group,cerebral ischemia(CI)group,oxiracetam(200 mg/kg)group,and oxiracetam(200 mg/kg)+AMD3100(5 mg/kg)group,with 25 rats in each group.Electrocoagulation was used to create rat model of local permanent cerebral infarction.After 1,7 and 14 days of modeling,neurological deficits were scored,TTC staining was used to detect the volume of cerebral infarction,Nissl staining was used to detect cell surviv-al in the infarcted area,Western blot was used to detect SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels in ischemic zone.After 1~7 days of modeling,BrdU(50 mg/kg)was continuously injected intraperitoneally.After 14 days,immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the number of BrdU+Nestin+and BrdU+DCX+cells in the SVZ region.5 days before modeling,retroviruses carrying GFP were injected into the SVZ region.After 14 days,immunofluorescence double stai-ning was used to detect the number of GFP+DCX+,GFP+MAP-2+and GFP+GFAP+cells in infarction area.C17.2 cells were divided into control group,oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)group,oxiracetam(final concentration:200 mg/L)group,and oxiracetam(final concentration:200 mg/L)+AMD3100(final concentration:100 μmol/L)group.OGD was used to create cell CI model.After 12 hours,immunofluorescence double staining was used to detect the number of Br-dU+/Nestin+and BrdU+/MAP-2+cells,Transwell experiment was used to detect cell migration,Western blot was used to detect SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels in cell culture supernatant.Results Animal experiment results showed:compared with control group,mNSS score in CI group was increased,cerebral infarction volume was increased,the number of surviving cells in infarcted area was decreased,SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels were increased,the number of GFP+DCX+,GFP+MAP-2+and GFP+GFAP+cells in SVZ region were increased(P<0.05);compared with CI group,mNSS score in oxiracetam group was decreased,cerebral infarction volume was decreased,the number of surviving cells in infarc-ted area was increased,SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels were increased,the number of GFP+DCX+,GFP+MAP-2+and GFP+GFAP+cells in SVZ region were increased,the number of GFP+DCX+,GFP+MAP-2+and GFP+GFAP+cells in in-farcted area were increased(P<0.05);compared with oxiracetam group,mNSS score in oxiracetam+AMD3100 group was increased,cerebral infarction volume was increased,the number of surviving cells in infarcted area was decreased,CXCR4 protein level was decreased,the number of GFP+DCX+,GFP+MAP-2+and GFP+GFAP+cells in the SVZ region were de-creased(P<0.05).Cell experiment results showed:compared with control group,the number of BrdU+/Nestin+and Br-dU+/MAP-2+cells in OGD group were increased,the number of cell migration,SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels in cell culture supernatant were increased(P<0.05);compared with OGD group,the number of BrdU+/Nestin+and BrdU+/MAP-2+cells in oxiracetam group were increased,the number of cell migration,SDF-1α and CXCR4 protein levels in cell culture supernatant were increased(P<0.05);compared with oxiracetam group,the number of BrdU+/Nestin+and BrdU+/MAP-2+cells in oxiracetam+AMD3100 group were decreased,the number of cell migration,CXCR4 protein level in cell culture supernatant were decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Oxiracetam may promote the migration of neural stem cells from the SVZ region to the ischemic zone,promoting neurogenesis and functional recovery in rats with cerebral infarction by activating SDF-1α/CXCR4 pathway.

Objective To study the effect of the intervention procedure of comfort clinostatism on the related complications and feelings of patients with liver cancer who underwent RFA .Methods The patients were divided into intervention group (448 cases) and control group (264 cases).The control group patients who received treatment from June 2012 to December 2013 were treated without nursing intervention , and doctors designed the clinostatism and accomplished the treatment.The intervention group patients who received treatment from January 2014 to June 2015 were treated with nursing intervention .The special nurse would accomplish the treatment beyond the procedure of comfort clinostatism.The complications were observed and recorded.Psychological feeling were evaluated by the patients themselves.The charge nurse would tabulated data .Results In the intervention group , the degrees of the data significantly were improved which consisted of psychological anxiety , the degree of psychological anxiety , the length of time to maintain the same posture , and the incidence of complications . Besides, the overall satisfaction of patients was significantly improved (P<0.01).Conclusions The process oriented, standardizing and hommizational procedure of the comfortable clinostatism can effectively avoid the common complications , enhance the relationship between doctors and patients , and raise the overall satisfaction of patients.

Indole-3-carbinol(I3C),an important anticancer compound found in broccoli,has attracted considerable attention.The rapid extraction and accurate analysis of I3C in the pharmaceutical industry in broccoli is challenging as I3C is unstable at low pH and high temperature.In this study,a rapid,accurate,and low-cost ultrasound-assisted dispersive-filter extraction(UADFE)technique based on poly(deep eutectic solvent)-graphene oxide(PDES-GO)adsorbent was developed for the isolation and analysis of I3C in broccoli for the first time.PDES-GO with multiple adsorption interactions and a fast mass transfer rate was synthesized to accelerate adsorption and desorption.UADFE was developed by combining dispersive solid-phase extraction(DSPE)and filter solid-phase extraction(FSPE)to realize rapid extraction and separation.Based on the above two strategies,the proposed PDES-GO-UADFE method coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)allowed the rapid(15-16 min),accurate(84.3%-96.4%),and low-cost(adsorbent:3.00 mg)analysis of I3C in broccoli and was superior to solid-phase extraction,DSPE,and FSPE methods.The proposed method showed remarkable linearity(r=0.9998;range:0.0840-48.0 μg/g),low limit of quantification(0.0840 μg/g),and high precision(relative standard deviation≤5.6%).Therefore,the PDES-GO-UADFE-HPLC method shows significant potential in the field of pharmaceutical analysis for the separation and analysis of anti-cancer compounds in complex plant samples.
