Objective To investigate the efficacy of nicergoline combined with hyperbaric oxygen treatment on vascular cognitive impairment.Methods 120 patients with vascular cognitive impairment were randomly divided into 3 treatment groups:nicergoline,hyperbaric oxygen,and both treatment (n=40,each) for 8 weeks.Mini mental state examination (MMSE),Wechsler memory scale (WMS) and activities of daily living scale (ADL) were used as assessing items.The efficacy of treatment in each group was evaluated.Results There were no significant differences in clinical data among the three groups(x2=0.324,t=0.265 and 0.861,P=0.764,0.784 and 0.386).After 8 weeks of intervention,scores of MMSE,WMS and ADL were significantly improved in the combined treatment groups compared with pre-treatment (all P＜0.01),and the improvements were observed in nicergoline group (all P＜0.05),while only MMSE and ADL were improved in hyperbaric oxygen group (both P＜0.05).There were significant differences in scores of MMSE,WMS and ADL between combination therapy group and nicergoline group,hyperbaric oxygen group after treatment (all P＜0.05).But only MMSE had significant difference between niccrgoline group and hyperbaric oxygen group after treatment.No significant side effects were observed in the three groups.Conclusions Combination treatment of nicergline and hyperbaric oxygen has better efficacy on vascular cognitive impairment.It can markedly improve the activities of daily living and cognitive function without significant side effects,which is worthy of application in clinical medicine.

BACKGROUND: Research on selective attention of mobile visual information is relatively scarce because of difficulties in technology, methodology and experimental condition control. As is well known, most visual information in the real world is mobile and changeable. To examine the mechanism of mobile visual information is helpful to designing natural and highly efficient human-computer interface as well as selecting specialized personnel in special fields OBJECTIVE: To explore the distractive effect of the number, color, and form changes of distractors on multiple-target tracking performance. DESIGN: The present study was a 3 × 2 × 2 within subject design. Participants were undergraduates from Beijing Normal University.SETTING: Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Beijing Normal University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was performed in the Experimental Psychology Lab of Beijing Normal University in April 2003. Twenty-four undergraduates from Beijing Normal University participated in the experiment. Among them there were 11 males and 13 females aged 17-25 years.They all reported normal or corrected-to-normal vision and normal color perception.METHODS: ① Stimuli were presented on a 17-inch Founder monitor with the resolution of 1028 × 800 pixels. A Founder computer controlled the stimulus presentation and randomization of trials. Response latencies were collected by keyboard response with accuracy of one millisecond. The stimuli were randomly moving "日" characters. The number of "日" characters is 4, 8 and 12. As the participants were tracking the objects, the targets would transform to "(│)" and "(│)", and the distractors would change to "(│)" , "(│)", or "H" by removing lines from "日 ". All distractors and targets were red at the beginning of moving. ② The correct responses were analyzed with 3-factor repeated measures analysis of variance, multiple comparison analysis, and pairwise T-test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Response time and accuracy of pressing the keys.RESULTS: The data of 24 participants were involved in the final statistical analysis. ① The three-factor repeated measures ANOVA results showed that the main effect of the number change of distractors was significant [F(1,22)=6.040, P ＜ 0.05]. The further ANOVA and pairwise comparison in different experiment conditions also showed no distractive effects when target and distractor had different shape but the same color [F(1,2,3)=9.965, P ＜ 0.01]. The further pairwise comparison indicated that when the number of distractors was 2 and 6, the participants' response latencies had no significant effects, and they had significant effect when the number of distractors was 2 and 10, or 6 and 10 (RT10-RT2=46 ms, P ＜ 0.05, two-tail test; RT10-RT6=28ms, P ＜ 0.05, one-tail test). These results showed that the increase in the number of distractors had distractive effects. ② There had no significant effect whether target and distractor had the same color or not, when the number of distractors was 2 and 10. And there had significant effects whether the color of target and distractor was the same or not when the number of distractors was 6; the same shape of target and distractor produced distractive effects (Tsame colons=1.926; Tdifferent colons=2.044,P ＜ 0.05, one-tail test). The main effect of the color was not significant. The further pairwise comparison showed the same result. That is,the color change of diatractors had no obvious distractive effect.CONCLUSION: ① There was distractive effect when the number of distractors increased while the shape and color of distractor and target were different. ② There was no distractive effect when the number of distractors increased while the shape of distractor and target was the same. ③ There was distractive effect when the number of distractors increased while the shape of distractor and target was different, and there was distractive effect when the color of distractor and target was the same.

Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling on the differentiation of stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs).Methods:SCAPs were cultured by enzyme digestion method.After adding activator (Forskolin) and inhibitor (H-89) into the culture of SCAPs in mineralization-inducing medium,calcium deposition was measured by alizarin red staining.QPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression of mineralization-related genes.Results:When the cAMP signaling was activated,calcium deposition and the mRNA expression of ALP,OCN,OSX and RUNX2 increased sharply.After inhibiting the signaling,calcium deposition and the mRNA expression of ALP,OCN,OSX and RUNX2 decreased.Conclusion:The cAMP signaling may promote the odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation of SCAPs.

Aim: To investigate the analgesic effect of the new triazole compounds Ⅱ_3 and effects on cycloxygen-ase-1(COX-1) as well as cycloxygenase-2( COX-2). Methods: The hot plate and the stretching settings in mice were utilized to study the effects of compounds Ⅱ_3 on acute pain. Radioimmunologic kits were used to assay the contents of PGE_2 in macrophage and 6-keto-PGF_(1α) in endodermis, which represents the activities of COX-2 and COX-1, respectively. Results: CompoundsⅡ_3( 15,30,60 mg/kg) prolonged the pain liminal value and the writ-hing response time in the initial appearance, and reduced the frequency of the writhing response in 15 min after exposure of the mice to glacial acetic acid( P < 0. 05, P < 0. 01). CompoundsⅡ_3, at the concentrations of 1×10 ~(-5),1×10 ~(-6), and 1×10 ~(-7) mol/L, markedly inhibited the production of PGE_2 in macrophage, and also impeded the activity of COX-2 at 1×10 ~(-6) mol/L But the inhibition of 6-keto-PGFla in endodermis using the same settings of compounds Ⅱ_3 was found to be limited. Conclusion: CompoundsⅡ_3 has analgesic effects on the acute pain and selective inhibition on COX-2.

Objective To investigate the correlation between invasion ability and cytoskeleton remodeling of hepatocarcinoma cell by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and to explore mechanical properties during genesis,development and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Four HCC cell lines (MHCC-97H,MHCC-97L,SMMC-7721 ,Huh-7 )with different invasive ability were studied.Mechanical parameter (Young′s modulus)was measured by AFM.The pattern of cytoskeleton remodeling of HCC cell lines with different invasive ability was detected by immunofluorescent staining. The difference of cell invasive ability was tested by cell scratch experiment in other to verify mechanical data.Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare the differences between groups.Results The results of AFM indicated that Young′s modulus of cytoplasma area and nucleus area decreased gradually as cell invasion ability increased (χ2 =472.78,622.43,both P <0.01).According to invasive ability from low to high,Young′s modulus of cell cytoplasm area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 1 602.43 (845 .48,3 317.25)Pa,1 055 .28 (367.48,2 280.77)Pa,1 026.78 (369.20,2 019.96)Pa and 503.12 (366.11 ,700.31)Pa,respectively.Young′s modulus of cell nucleus area of Huh-7,SMMC-7721 ,MHCC-97L and MHCC-97H were 2 823.98 (1 262.78,4 440.07 )Pa,1 313.43 (590.71 , 2 678.62)Pa,1 285 .17 (583.29,1 961 .19)Pa and 655 .57 (441 .29,943.39)Pa,respectively.The results of immunofluorescent staining showed that the stronger the cell invasive ability,the worse cytoskeletal integrity and more irregular cell microfilament distribution. In cell scratch assay, the migration rate of MHCC-97H was 46.67% in 24 h and 86.47% in 48 h,that of MHCC-97L was 45 .70%in 24 h and 82.86% in 48 h,that of SMMC-7721 was 39.41 % in 24 h and 79.85 % in 48 h and that of Huh-7 was 34.60% in 24 h and 72.09% in 48 h,which showed that the cell migration orderly in creased as the cell invasion ability increased.Conclusions It seemed that HCC with higher invasive ability had lower Young′s modulus,softer cell,stronger deformability,worse cytoskeleton integrity and more irregular cell structure,and vice versa.

Objective To investigate the potential relationship between neck circumference and obesity related indexes and metabolic disorders associated with insulin resistance.Methods A random cluster sampling method was used to identify study population among the 4 412 60 -70 years old permanent residents in Renqiu region.Face to face health questionnaire,physical examination,laboratory tests were used.According to the gender group,the correlation between neck circumference and obesity related indexes and metabolic disorders associated with insulin resistance were analyzed.Results Comparing neck circumference and waist circumference,waist height ratio, and body mass index(BMI) of man and woman respondents,the differences were statistically significant.Neck circum-ference and waist circumference,waist height ratio,and BMI had positive correlation(male:r =0.752,0.695 and 0.761.W:r =0.707,0.655,0.721,all P <0.01).Increased trends of neck circumference,waist circumference,waist height ratio and BMI coincided with increased trend of thypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia and hyperinsulinemia and hyperlipidemia,and no gender differences.With the increase of the neck circumference,the incidence of above mentioned diseases also increased accordingly.Conclusion Neck circumference was associated with obesity related indexes and metabolic disorders associated with insulin resistance.Neck circumference measurement can be used as an effective indicator of central obesity,and had great significance for early prediction and prevention of metabolic disorders associated with clinical insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the community structure of intestinal bacteria from patients with cirrhosis and its influencing factors. Methods From 2016 to 2017, 24 patients with liver cirrhosis ( the LC group) and 23 healthy family members of patients ( the HC group) were enrolled at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. A comparative analysis of the community structure of intestinal bacteria was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing in LC and HC groups. Combined with LEfSe analysis and NMDS analysis, the differential markers were screened and the factors affecting the intestinal community structure of subjects were studied. Results The dominant six phylum of bacteria in intestines in LC and HC groups included Firmicutes, Bacteroides, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteria and Tenericumes. However, in the LC sample, Firmicutes was significantly reduced, while Bacteroides was significantly increased. The diversity of intestinal bacteria was significantly reduced, and the Firmicutes/Bacteroides ratio was significantly decreased, suggesting a variation of the community structure in intestinal bacteria of cirrhosis patients. The LEfSe result indicated that the abundance of Enterococcus, Lactobacillales, Bacilli, and Bacteroidetes showed a significant difference in the LC sample, which may be used as potential marked bacterial groups for cirrhosis. The NMDS analysis revealed a positive relationship between the concentration of Cd and Pb and the abundance of intestinal bacteria in the LC sample. Conclusion The community structure of intestinal bacteria from patients with cirrhosis has changed. Enterococcus, Lactobacillales, Bacilli, and Bacteroidetes are potential marked bacterial groups. The concentration of Cd and Pb in the intestinal tract of cirrhosis patients may interact with the abundance and structure of bacteria, and further affect the occurrence and development of cirrhosis.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between self-disclosure, self-efficacy and medical coping modes in adolescent depression, and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy between self-disclosure and medical coping modes.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, a total of 403 adolescents with depression in a tertiary psychiatric hospital in Beijing were recruited from March 2020 to March 2021. The data of general information questionnaire, distress disclosure index scale, medical coping modes questionnaire and general self-efficacy scale were collected.SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the correlation between self-disclosure, self-efficacy and medical coping modes of adolescent patients with depression, and Stata 13.1 software was used to analyze the mediating effect of self-efficacy between self-disclosure and medical coping modes.Results:The scores of dimension of the medical coping modes of adolescent depression patients were(16.90±3.84) for facing, (16.34±2.88) for yielding, (12.48±4.31) for avoiding, (30.47±9.91) for self-disclosure and (19.63±6.54) for self-efficacy, respectively. Self-disclosure and self-efficacy were positively correlated with facing of medical coping modes ( r=0.301, 0.327, both P<0.01), and negatively correlated with yielding of medical coping modes ( r=-0.465, -0.487, both P<0.01). Self-disclosure was negatively correlated with avoidance of medical coping modes ( r=-0.118, P=0.018). The direct effect of self-efficacy on medical coping modes was 0.103, and the total effect was 0.365, and the mediating effect accounted for 28.22%. Conclusion:Self-efficacy partially mediates between self-disclosure and medical coping modes in adolescents with depression.

OBJECTIVE： To compare the cost-effectiveness of long-effect and short-effect granulocyte stimulating factor in prevention and treatment of bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy for lung malignancies， and to provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS： A retrospective analysis was conducted for 132 cases who used granulocyte stimulating factor to prevent and treat bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy for lung malignancies in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Zhengzhou University during Jan. 2017 to Jun. 2018. Among them， 60 cases were treated with Recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor injection （short-effect， group A）， and 72 cases were treated with Polyethylene glycol recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor injection （long-effect， group B）. Clinical efficacies， the occurrence of bone marrow suppression and ADR were compared between 2 groups. Cost was calculated， and cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted. Sensitivity analysis was conducted by down-regulating 20％ drug price. RESULTS： The total response rates of group A and B were 71.7％ and 75.0％， without statistical significance （P＞0.05）. There was no statistical significance in the incidence and duration of bone marrow suppression or the incidence of ADR （P＞0.05）. Average treatment costs of the two groups were （335.91±180.34） and （1 982.75±603.15） yuan； the cost of group A was significantly lower than that of group B （P＜0.05）. The cost-effectiveness ratio of them were 4.69 and 26.44， while group A as a reference， incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of group B was 494.55. The sensitivity analysis results were in agreement with the cost-effectiveness analysis. CONCLUSIONS： The effectiveness of Recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor injection is similar to that of Polyethylene glycol recombinant human granulocyte stimulating factor injection for the prevention and treatment of bone marrow suppression induced by chemotherapy for lung malignancies. But the cost-effectiveness ratio of the former is lower than that of the latter.

Objective To investigate the epidemiologic and behavioral characteristics of HIV among community population in Liangshan prefecture.Methods We collected social demographic,behavioral and serological information by means of the monitoring questionnaire and serological tests.Data was analyzed by using the chi-square test and logistic regression.Results From April to June of 2010 to 2015,14 092 cases of community population were selected as the study objects,with 267 cases diagnosed as HIV positive patients.The HIV positive rates were 3.24％,3.07％,1.17％,1.38％,1.42％ and 1.25％,respectively.We observed that when community population having the following characteristics as:living in Butuo country (OR=3.83),being males (OR=1.77),being Yi nationality (OR=4.40) being widowed (OR=28.57),with history of drug abuse (OR=3.71) or injecting drug use (PWID) (OR=4.92),or history of needle sharing among PWID (OR=8.53),were under higher risks for HIV infection.With histories as:having had secondary or above levels of schooling (OR=0.59),having protected sex with regular parmers (OR =0.21) and with non-regular partners (OR =0.46),they seemed to be somehow protected for getting HIV infection.Conclusion The positive HIV rates of HIV among community population in Dechang,Ningnan and Butuo varied from 0.10％ to 8.77％while the HIV transmission among general population remained challenging.
