Objective To investigate the effects of chronic restraint stress on learning and memory in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.Methods Healthy adult male Wistar rats (n=6) and Sprague-Dawley rats (n=6) were subjected to restraint stress 10 h daily for 28 days.After that, all rats were tested for recognition memory by novel object recognition test , and spatial memory and working memory by Morris water maze test .Results After restraint for 10 h daily for 28 days, the restraint rats of the two strains demonstrated lower discrimination index (DI)than the control group, but on-ly SD rats showed significant difference ( P<0.05 ) .The restraint SD rats showed higher escape latency than the control rats, and on the 5th day the difference became significant (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between Wistar restraint and control rats .The working memory test showed that restraint SD rats exibited longer escape latency than the control rats (P<0.05), while Wistar rats didn’t show significant difference between the two groups .Conclusions The results of this study demonstrate that the impairments of learning and memory in SD rats subjected to restraint 10 hour per day for 28 days are more serious than that in the Wistar rats .Therefore , SD rats may be a better choice as an animal model to study the effects of chronic restraint stress on learning and memory impairment .

Objective To explore the effect of action verb processing on the excitability of the motor cortex and any effect on the upper limb motor function of stroke survivors.Methods Experiment 1:The motor evoked potential by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS-MEP) was measured while 18 healthy subjects were processing concrete action verbs or abstract verbs.Experiment 2:Eight hemiplegic stroke survivors were asked to read silently text describing concrete hand actions,and then repeat and explain the meaning of the action verbs used in the text.This was repeated for 30 minutes per day,5 days per week for 3 weeks.In the 2nd week the same training was conducted except that the text was about abstract verbs.The modified Ashworth scale (MAS),Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),the Hong Kong version of the functional test for a hemiplegic upper extremity (FTHUE-HK) and a simple test for evaluating hand function (STEF) were used to assess upper limb motor function before and after the training each week.Results Experiment 1:Processing the concrete action verbs induced significantly greater MEP than processing the abstract verbs.Experiment 2:The average FMA and STEF ratings improved significantly after the training each week.Training with the concrete action verbs resulted in significantly better FMA and STEF scores than with the abstract verbs.The average MAS score increased significantly week by week.There was significantly more improvement in the average FTHUE-HK rating after the 1st and 3rd week of training than after the 2nd week.Conclusion Action verb processing induces greater motor cortex excitation than abstract verb processing among healthy subjects and better improves the upper limb motor function of stroke survivors.

Objective To observe the effect of Huoluojiangu Capsule(HJC) on anti-inflammatory experiment.Methods The anti-inflammatory experimental models were established in three kinds of rats with pleuritis,the swellen sole of the foot and the PGE_2 content in inflammatory tissues,respectively.Results The swollen reaction in the sole of foot in rats induced by egg white was lessoned with the treatment of low,middle and high dosage of HJC.Compared with the blank control group,the treatment is effective in low dosage group and evidently effective in groups of middle and high dosage after 30 min(P0.05),respectively.Compared with the blank control group,the effect of HJC on the PGE_2 content in the inflammatory tissues of middle and high dosage groups was significant(P

Myofibrillogenesis regulator-1 (MR-1) is a novel protein involved in cellular proliferation, migration, inflammatory reaction and signal transduction. However, little information is available on the relationship between MR-1 expression and the progression of atherosclerosis. Here we report atheroprotective effects of silencing MR-1 in a model of Ang II-accelerated atherosclerosis, characterized by suppression focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and atherosclerotic lesion macrophage content. In this model, administration of the siRNA-MR-1 substantially attenuated Ang II-accelerated atherosclerosis with stabilization of atherosclerotic plaques and inhibited FAK, Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and NF-kB activation, which was associated with suppression of inflammatory factor and atherogenic gene expression in the artery. In vitro studies demonstrated similar changes in Ang II-treated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and macrophages: siRNA-MR-1 inhibited the expression levels of proinflammatory factor. These studies uncover crucial proinflammatory mechanisms of Ang II and highlight actions of silencing MR-1 to inhibit Ang II signaling, which is atheroprotective.

Objective Based on the process theory of stress effect,the structural equation model of the influencing factors of self-regulatory fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients is constructed,which provides theoretical bases and references for the formulation of intervention programs to relieve self-regulatory fatigue in patients.Method A total of 420 maintenance hemodialysis patients were surveyed using General Information Questionnaire,Self-Regulatory Fatigue Scale,Dialysis Symptom Index,Life Orientation Test-Revised,Perceived Social Support Scale,Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and Medical Coping Styles Questionnaire.Results Total score of self-regulatory fatigue in maintenance hemodialysis patients was(49.52±10.93),and self-regulatory fatigue showed significant positive correlation with symptom distress,the illness perception,avoidance coping style,yieldly coping(r=0.476,0.428,0.303,0.611,all P＜0.01);self-regulatory fatigue showed significant negative correlation with perceived social support and dispositional optimism(r=-0.410,-0.652,all P＜0.01);it showed no significant correlation with facing coping(r=-0.032,P＞0.05).The Bootstrap analysis revealed that the mediation effect of yielding coping,dispositional optimism,perceived social support,and illness perception between symptom distress and self-regulatory fatigue was significant(95％CI:0.027～0.203).The overall effect of symptom distress on self-regulatory fatigue was(P＜0.001,95％CI:0.576～0.751);the direct effect was(P＜0.001,95％CI:0.170～0.357);the indirect effect was(P＜0.001,95％CI:0.332～0.485);the mediation effect accounted for 61.1％of the total effect value.Conclusion Maintenance hemodialysis patients have a high degree of self-regulatory fatigue,which needs to be further improved.Medical staff should timely identify and evaluate the symptom distress of patients,focus on guiding patients to adjust optimistic disease,provide patients with psychological guidance and stress coping strategies,reduce the negative coping behavior tendency,guide the patients correctly perceive support and care in social relations,help patients set up the correct disease cognition,thus reducing the patient's self-regulatory fatigue.

Objective:To explore the application effect of a multidisciplinary collaborative model led by stomatognathic therapists, utilizing a combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and moist wound dressings in the comprehensive treatment of postoperative chronic wounds, and to provide references and guidance for improving the clinical practice and management level of patients with chronic wounds.Methods:This was a prospective randomized controlled trial. Eighty-eight patients with postoperative non-healing chronic wounds who visited the Chronic Wound Care Clinic of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2018 to February 2023 were conveniently sampled. They were randomly divided into two groups using a coin toss method: the control group ( n = 41) received standard moist wound dressing therapy, while the experimental group ( n = 47) received comprehensive treatment based on PRP combined with moist wound dressings. This treatment, led by enterostoml therpist, involved the innovative nursing technique of simultaneous injection of PRP and coagulant mixture via a three-way connector and covering with ultra-thin foam dressing. The Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) score, wound area healing index (WSHI), pain level during dressing change, wound healing time, and treatment satisfaction rate were observed in both groups. Results:Among 88 cases, there were 25 females and 16 males in the control group, aged 58.00 (37.00 ± 79.00) years old. There were 31 females and 16 males in the experimental group, aged 57.00 (35.00 ± 72.00) years old. The median PUSH scores of the experimental group on the 7th, 14th, and 21th day after wound treatment were 11.00, 9.00, and 7.00, respectively, which were better than those of the control group, which were 13.00, 11.00, and 9.00. The median WSHI scores were 0.35, 0.58, and 0.84 for the experimental group, respectively, which were better than those of the control group, which were 0.09, 0.30, and 0.50. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( Z values ranged from 4.08 to 8.20, all P<0.01). On the 7th, 14th, and 21st day of treatment, the pain scores of the experimental group were 3.00 (2.00,3.00), 2.00 (1.00, 2.00), 0.00 (0.00,1.00) points, respectively, which were lower than the 3.00 (3.00,3.50), 2.00 (2.00,3.00), and 2.00 (1.00, 2.00) points of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z values were 2.16, 3.38, 6.14, all P<0.05). The healing time in the experimental group was (37.04 ± 25.33) days, which was shorter than that in the control group, (52.88 ± 36.58) days, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 5.53, P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the experimental group was 97.87% (46/47), significantly higher than 87.80% (36/41) in the control group ( χ2 = 3.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:Under the leadership of stomatognathic therapists, the multidisciplinary collaborative model, employing comprehensive treatment techniques centered around PRP combined with moist wound dressings, demonstrated significant therapeutic efficacy for postoperative chronic wounds including shortening healing time, accelerating healing speed, reducing wound pain, and improving patient satisfaction, indicating high clinical application value and social benefits.

Objective:To probe into the causes, reconstructive strategies, and repair outcomes of asymmetric eyelid configuration after blepharoplasty.Methods:All 73 patients (14 males and 59 females) with asymmetric double eyelid after blepharoplasty were recruited between July 2013 and June 2018 from Department of Plastic and Burns Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University. The patients aged from 18 years to 42 years with the median age of 27 years. The new double eyelid line was designed pre-operation. Releasing subcutaneous adhesion of upper eyelid entirely, trimming inferior orbicularis oculi, adjusting and comparing the attachment position of bilateral levator aponeurosis were performed during surgery. Patients and surgeons marked the appearance of double eyelid both before and after repair operation, results of which were analyzed by t-test.Results:All 73 patients obtained improved double eyelid with primary healing. During follow-up from 8 to 12 months, repaired double eyelid showed satisfactory configuration with smooth natural double eyelid line and symmetric bilateral double eyelid. Of the 73 patients, 3 (4.1%) complaint rough double eyelid line, for whom re-fixation through small incision were adopted and no complication was observed during follow-up time. Scores by patients and surgeons were both significantly better after surgery.Conclusions:Analyzing the causes of asymmetric eyelid after double-eyelid blepharoplasty and repairing it contribute to aesthetic pleasing reconstructed double eyelid.

Objective:To systematically summarize and assess risk prediction models for occurrence of cervical cancer and to provide evidence for selecting the most reliable model for practice, and guide cervical cancer screening.Methods:Two groups of keywords related to cervical cancer and risk prediction model were searched on Chinese databases (CNKI, and Wanfang) and English databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library). Original articles that developed or validated risk prediction models and published before November 21, 2019, were selected. Information form was created based on the CHARMS checklist. The PROBAST was used to assess the risk of bias.Results:12 eligible articles were identified, describing 15 prediction models, of which five were established in China. The predicted outcomes included multiple stages from cervical precancerous lesions to cancer occurrence, i.e., abnormal Pap smear (1), occurrence or recurrence of CIN (9), and occurrence of cervical cancer (5), etc. The most frequently used predictors were HPV infection (12), age (7), smoking (5), and education (5). There were two models using machine learning to develop models. In terms of model performance, the discrimination ranged from 0.53 to 0.87, while only two models assessed the calibration correctly. Only two models were externally validated in Taiwan of China, using people in different periods. All of the models were at high risk of bias, especially in the analysis domain. The problems were concentrated in the improper handling of missing data (13), preliminary evaluation of model performance (13), improper use of internal validation (12), and insufficient sample size (11). In addition, the problems of inconsistency measurements of predictors and outcomes (8) and the flawed report of the use of blindness for outcome measures (8) were also severe. Compared with the other models, the Rothberg (2018) model had relatively high quality. Conclusions:There are a certain number of cervical cancer risk prediction models, but the quality is poor. It is urgent to improve the measurement of predictors and outcomes, the statistical analysis details such as handling missing data and evaluation of model performance and externally validate existing models to better guide screening.
