Objective To simulate the process of hypoxic?ischemic brain injury at high altitude in a simulated cabin with plateau low pressure environment, and to prepare a rat model of cerebral injuries at different high altitudes. Method Thirty?two 0?day?old neonatal SD rats were divided into four groups, namely group A ( control group) and three test groups:group B (2000 m group), group C (4000 m group), and group D (6000 m group). The rats of control group were reared in a barrier environment. The rats of test groups were placed in a simulated cabin with plateau low pressure environment, and to prepare neonatal cerebral ischemia?hypoxia model by sport activities. The sport movements were carried out in the cabin in a swimming groove 60 min/d, and not less than 20 hours a day at high altitude low pressure environment. Zea Longa 5 point scale standard was used to determine the behavioral scores at the 3 th 7 th 11 th 15 th days, and samples were collected on the 15th day to observe red blood cell morphology using HE and 2, 3, 5?triphenyltetrazolium chloride ( TTC ) staining and ultrastructure by scanning electron microscopy. Result ( 1 ) The neurological scores of the test groups A, B, C were significantly different from that of the control group (P<0?05), and the scores of test group D and control group were very significantly different ( P <0?01 ) . ( 2 ) The histopathological examination using HE staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration in all rats of the test groups, and the extent of inflammatory cell infiltration was positively correlated with the increase of altitude. ( 3 ) The histopathology with TTC staining revealed prominent ischemia in the cerebral cortex of rats in the plateau hypoxic environment. ( 4 ) Scanning electron microscopy showed that the rat erythrocytes were cap?like in the group B, irregular in the group C, and zigzag shape in the group D. Conclusions In this study, a rat model of neonatal hypoxic?ischemic encephalopathy ( HIE) is successfully established by hypoxic cabin combined with sport activity. This model is stable, reliable, more closely mimicking the pathogenesis and clinical manifestation of neonatal HIE than models prepared with other methods, therefore, may be used in related research.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of high frequency jet ventilation via the nasopha?ryngeal catheter in assissting ventilation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( OS?AHS) undergoing gastroscopy. Methods Eighty patients with OSAHS of both sexes, aged 40-64 yr, weighing 65-99 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, with an apnea?hy?popnea index 20-40 events∕h, scheduled for elective painless gastroscopy, were divided into control group and test group using a random number table, with 40 patients in each group. In control group, a nasopha?ryngeal catheter 6.0-7.0 mm in internal diameter was inserted, and oxygen was inhaled at 4 L∕min through the catheter. In test group, a nasopharyngeal catheter 4.0 mm in internal diameter was inserted, and a high frequency jet ventilator was connected ( inspiratory∕expiratory ratio 1. 0 ∶ 1. 5, frequency 150 bpm, peak pressure 0.4 kPa, tidal volume 180 ml) . Anesthesia was maintained with propofol in both groups. The oc?currence of hypoxemia during ventilation, and peak value of partial pressure of end?tidal CO2 before induc?tion of anesthesia and during ventilation, and occurrence of chin lift, mask ventilation, and epistaxis after insertion of the catheter during operation were recorded. Results Compared with control group, the inci?dence of hypoxemia, peak value of partial pressure of end?tidal CO2 during ventilation, and incidence of chin lift, mask ventilation and epistaxis during operation were significantly decreased in test group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion High frequency jet ventilation via the nasopharyngeal catheter can be safely and effec?tively used to assisst ventilation in patients with OSAHS undergoing gastroscopy.

Objective To determine the risk factors for the anxiety status of the patients undergoing breast surgery in the waiting area. Methods A total of 214 female patients scheduled for elective breast surgery, underwent biopsy under local anesthesia, were selected. When the patients were waiting for the pathological results in the waiting area, they filled in the questionnaire independently, read and understood the questionnaire of this study, showed cooperation and voluntarily received investigation including State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), self-evaluation questionnaire, etc. Anxiety was assessed and scored by the patients themselves. The patients were divided into state anxiety group and non-state anxiety group ac-cording to State-Anxiety scale. The variables were compared, and the variables of which P values less than 0. 05 would enter the logistic regression analysis to stratify the risk factors for the anxiety status of the pa-tients undergoing breast surgery in the waiting area. Results The incidence of state anxiety in the wait-ing area was 62. 6%. Compared with non-state anxiety group, significant change was found in the larger possibility of malignant breast lesions in preoperative conversation, preoperative anxiety, self anxiety score, STAI score and no understanding of disease prognosis in state anxiety group (P<0. 05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the larger possibility of malignant breast lesions in preoperative conversation, preoperative anxiety, self anxiety score and STAI score were all independent risk factors for the anxiety status of the patients undergoing breast surgery in the waiting area. Among all the patients involved in the investigation, 144 patients felt anxiety before surgery, 100% patients expected help from the doctor in charge, and 60. 4% patients expected the company of family in the waiting area. Conclusion Larger possibility of ma-lignant breast lesions in preoperative conversation, preoperative anxiety, self anxiety score and STAI score are independent risk factors for the anxiety status of the patients undergoing breast surgery while waiting for the pathological results in the waiting area after biopsy under local anesthesia.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease involving symmetrical small joints, with clinical manifestations such as small joint swelling, morning stiffness, progressive pain, and even joint deformity and loss of function. Due to the complex immune mechanism, the pathogenesis of RA remains unclear. However, studies have shown that the pathogenesis of RA is related to abnormal immune mechanism, increased synovial inflammatory response, abnormal biological behavior of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs), and abnormal degradation of extracellular matrix. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) plays a key role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. It is involved in the abnormal release and activation of inflammatory mediators in RA, the abnormal proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLSs, synovial angiogenesis, bone erosion, and cartilage destruction. The thousands of years of practical experience show that Chinese medicine can effectively mitigate the clinical symptoms such as joint swelling, morning stiffness, and pain and delay the occurrence of joint deformity in RA patients. Moreover, the Chinese medicine treatment has the advantages of overall regulation, personalized treatment, multiple pathways and targets, high safety, few adverse reactions, and stable quality. Modern studies have confirmed that Chinese medicine can play a role in the prevention and treatment of RA by interfering in the MAPK signaling pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibiting the abnormal proliferation, migration, and invasion of RA-FLSs, regulating the apoptosis of RA-FLSs, and protecting extracellular matrix. This article elaborates on the key role of MAPK signaling pathway in the development of RA and reviews the latest research results of Chinese medicine intervention in MAPK signaling pathway for the prevention and treatment RA, aiming to provide a basis for the development of new drugs and the clinical application of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of RA.
