Objective To evaluate the effect of astragaloside Ⅳ on postoperative cognitive function in aged rats.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 22 months,weighing 360-480 g,were divided into 4 groups(n=15 each)using a random number table:control group(group C),surgery group(group S),low-dose astragaloside Ⅳ group(group L-AGS)and high-dose astragaloside IV group(group H-AGS).At 3 days prior to surgery,astragaloside Ⅳ 20 and 40 mg/kg were injected intraperitoneally once a day in L-AGS and H-AGS groups,respectively.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in C and S groups.The animals underwent splenectomy under anesthesia with 1.8% isoflurane in S,L-AGS and H-AGS groups.Five rats in each group were randomly sacrificed at 1 day after operation,the hippocampi were removed for determination of interleukin-1beta(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and IL-6 contents(by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)and expression of activated caspase-3,Bax and Bcl-2(by Western blot).The left animals underwent Morris water maze test at 15 days after operation.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the frequency of crossing the original platform was reduced,the space exploration time was shortened,the expression of activated caspase-3 and Bax was up-regulated,the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated,and the IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 contents were increased after operation in group S(P<0.05).Compared with group S,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased,the space exploration time was prolonged,the expression of activated caspase-3 and Bax was down-regulated,the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated,and the IL-1β,TNF-α and IL-6 contents were decreased after operation in L-AGS and H-AGS groups(P<0.05).Compared with L-AGS,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased,the space exploration time was prolonged,and the TNF-α contents were decreased after operation in group H-AGS(P<0.05).Conclusion Astragaloside Ⅳ can improve the postoperative cognitive function in a dose-dependent manner in aged rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane on ca2+ transsarcolemmal influx and ca2+ release function of endoplasmic reticulum in isolated outer hair cells (OHCs) of guinea pigs and the possible mechanism by which sevofhlrane acts on cochleas.Methods The experiment was performed in 2 parts.In experiment I:twelve adult guinea pigs(8 male,4 female)weighing 180-230 g were used.OHCs were mechanically sparated after enzymatic incubation.Thirty OHCs with favorable activity were divided into 3 groups (n=10 each):group I control(C);group Ⅱ low concentration sevoflurane (1.7%,group S1) and group Ⅲ high concentration sevoflurane(3.4%,group S2).The OHCs were stained with 6 umol/L Fluo-3AM in estefified form for 40 min.Group S1 and S2 were pretreated with 1.7% and 3.4% sevoflugsne respectively for 20 min.KCI 40 mmol/L was then added.The intracellular ionized Ca2+ concentration ([C2+]I) was determined byintracelhlar Ca2+ fluorescent intensity using laser scanning confocal microscope.The protocol of the experimentⅡ was the same as the experimentI.The only difference was that caffeine 20 mmol/L was added instead of KCI 40 mmol/L.Results In experiment I:there was no significant difference in baseline[ca2+]I and[ca2+]I after being exposed to sevoflurane among the 3 groups.[Ca2+]I was significanfly increased after addition of KCI as compared with the baseline[Ca2+]I and was significantly lower in group Sl and S2 than in group C and was the lowest in group S2.In experimentⅡ:the[ca2+]I was significantly increased after addition of caffeine but there was no significant difference in[Ca2+]I among the 3 groups.Conclusion Sevoflurane can inhibit voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel opening in a concentration-dependent manner but can not affect ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ release function of endoplasmic reticuhm in isolated outer hair cells of guinea pigs.

Objective To better understand the clinical characteristics of Familial Idiopathic Basal Ganglia Calcifi?cation (FIBGC), including at the perspective of hereditary pattern, clinical test results, onset age, clinical heterogeneity and the volume of basal ganglia calcification (VBGC). Method 8 Eight FIBGC families were collected and draw family pedigrees were draw. Analysis of was conducted on the patient's clinical test results, head CT and MRI changes, onset ag?es, relationship of clinical manifestations with VBGC. Results No significant difference was found in serum calcium, alu?minum, arsenic, cobalt, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, parathyroid hormone and calcitonin concentration between the fam?ily members of patients and healthy controls (P>0.05). Family members from 8 FIBGC families including the two with consanguineous marriage manifested autosomal dominant heredity. The severity of , symptomatic s was correlated with VBGCpatients showed the same clinical manifestations in the dyskinesia family. The psychiatric symptoms was not asso? ciated with VBGC whereas patients with dyskinesia had a large VBGC. There was a significant difference in onset age be?tween patients with psychiatric symptoms and those with dyskinesia. P.atients with dyskinesia suffer larger VBGC, and is characterized by Patients with dyskinesia had relatively later onset age (43.95 ± 2.47 y) whereas those with. psychiatric symptoms hadsymptomatic patients with early onset age (31.32±10.16y). The comparison of the onset age (43.954±2.473 vs. 31.319±10.156 y, t=4.438, P=0.001) and VBGC (1.748±0.622 vs. 0.392±0.276 cm3, t=2.518, P=0.028) with symptom?atic patients between dyskinesia and psychogenic families was significant. Conclusions Eight FIBGC families manifested autosomal dominant heredity. Patients with dyskinesia suffer have a larger VBGC and are associated with a, and is char?acterized by relatively later onset age. In contrast, patients with psychiatric symptomspsychogeny is not related withhave a the small VBGC and showedand their age of onset is young. earlier onset age.

The possible mechanism of inhalation anesthetics on the internal auditory impairment of the rat was investigated by determining the effect of nitrous oxide (N20) and isoflurane on the total RNA yield from the cochlea of the rats. Thirty healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: group C (control group, n=10) with a 3-h unremitting inhalation of 50% O2 group N (ex-periment group, n= 10) with a continuous inhalation of 50% N2O+50% O2for 3 h, and group I (ex-periment group, n=10) with a 3-h sustained inhalation of 2.5% isoflurane. The TRIzol in combination with RNeasy was used to respectively extract the total RNA from cochlea of rats in the 3 groups. Spectrophotometry was used to detect total RNA yield and electrophoresis to detect the quality. The total RNA extracted from the cochlea of the rats in the groups C and N was 7.69 and 6.51 μg, respec- tively. There was a 15% decrease in the N group as compared with group C. The total RNA from the rats in the group I was 7.32 μg, and there was hardly any change in the group as compared with the group C. The value of A260/A280 in groups C, N and I was 2.07, 2.04 and 2.04, respectively, showing a very high RNA purity. The result of gel electrophoresis suggested that there was no degradation in the total RNA. It was suggested that the interference of N2O on the cochlear RNA yield might be one of the reasons which cause an injury of the ear. The isoflurane shows no harm on the heating.

Blood-brain barrier is a natural barrier between blood and brain tissue that can protect the brain from invasion by infectious pathogens in blood and maintain the homeostasis of the brain environment. However, neurotropic viruses can escape or disrupt blood-brain barrier and then invade the brain, causing serious complications in the central nervous system such as encephalitis and meningitis, which seriously threaten human life. This paper mainly summarized the research progress in the pathogenic mechanisms of common neurotropic viruses crossing blood-brain barrier and invading the central nervous system.

Objective To explore the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) receptor antagonist BGJ398 in growth, migration and invasiveness of gliomas. Methods (1) Glioma cells U87 and U251 were routinely cultured in vitro and divided into BGJ398 treatment group (10 μmol/L BGJ398 complete medium) and control group; the proliferation of U87 and U251 cells was detected by CCK-8 and colony formation; 2 d after cultivation, the migration and invasion of U87 and U251 cells were measured by wound-healing assay and Transwell assay. The phosphor-FGFR (pFGFR) level and vimentin expressions were detected by Western blotting. (2) Eight BALB/c nude mice were performed abdominal subcutaneous injection of 200 μL U87 cells (1×107 cells) and randomly divided into BGJ398 treatment group (giving physiological saline solution containing 20 mg/kg BGJ398) and control group (giving physiological saline solution); 15 d after cultivation, the quality of the subcutaneously implanted tumors was compared between the two groups, and the vimentin expression was detected by Western blotting. Results (1) Three, 4 and 5 d after cultivation, the optical density in the U87 cells of BGJ398 treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (3 d: t=4.059, P=0.015; 4 d: t=9.892, P=0.001; 5 d: t=10.259, P=0.001); 2, 3, 4 and 5 d after cultivation, the optical density in the U251 cells of BGJ398 treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (2 d: t=3.780, P=0.019; 3 d: t=4.515, P=0.011; 4 d: t=16.205, P=0.000; 5 d: t=17.613, P=0.000); 10 d after cultivation, the cloning number of U87 and U251 cells in the BGJ398 treatment group was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P<0.05); the results of wound-healing assay showed that the migration of U87MG cells in the BGJ398 treatment group was significantly slower than that in the control group (P<0.05); 24 h after cultivation, the number of U87 cells migration in the BGJ398 treatment group was significantly smaller as compared with that in the control group (P<0.05); 48 h after cultivation, the number of U87 and U251 cells passed the pore membrane in the BGJ398 treatment group was significantly smaller as compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). Western blotting showed that the content of pFGFR and vimentin in U87 and U251 cells of the BGJ398 treatment group decreased significantly as compared with that in the control group (P<0.05). (2) The subcutaneous tumor tissues in the BGJ398 treatment group[(0.186± 0.064) g] were significantly smaller than those in the control group[(0.450±0.106) g] (P<0.05); Vimentin expression in the BGJ398 treatment group (2.503±0.359) was significantly decreased than that in the control group (4.125±1.155, P<0.05). Conclusion Experiments in vivo and in vitro confirm that BGJ398 can inhibit the activation of FGFR and the growth, migration, and invasion of glioma cells, indicating that FGFR is one of effective targets for the treatment of gliomas.

Objectives: Fitting and forecasting the trend of COVID-19 epidemics. Methods: Based on SEIR dynamic model, considering the COVID-19 transmission mechanism, infection spectrum and prevention and control procedures, we developed SEIR^{+ CAQ} dynamic model to fit the frequencies of laboratory confirmed cases obtained from the government official websites. The data from January 20, 2020 to February 7, 2020 were used to fit the model, while the left data between February 8-12 were used to evaluate the quality of forecasting. Results: According to the cumulative number of confirmed cases between January 29 to February 7, the fitting bias of SEIR^{+ CAQ} model for overall China (except for cases of Hubei province), Hubei province (except for cases of Wuhan city) and Wuhan city was less than 5%. For the data of subsequent 5 days between February 8 to 12, which were not included in the model fitting, the prediction biases were less than 10%. Regardless of the cases diagnosed by clinical examines, the numbers of daily emerging cases of China (Hubei province not included), Hubei Province (Wuhan city not included) and Wuhan city reached the peak in the early February. Under the current strength of prevention and control, the total number of laboratory- confirmed cases in overall China will reach 80 417 till February 29, 2020, respectively. Conclusions The proposed SEIR^{+ CAQ} dynamic model fits and forecasts the trend of novel coronavirus pneumonia well and provides evidence for decision making.
