Aim To study the characteristics of the binding reaction of Troxetutin with bovine serum albumin (BSA) by fluorescence and ultra violet-visible absorption spectra.Methods The quenching mechanism of the fluorescence of BSA by troxerutin was studied with fluorescence.To determine the dynamic quenching constants and static binding constants,the Stern-Volmer equation and the double reciprocal Lineweaver-Burk equation were applied. The number of binding site was calculated with double logarithmic equation and the main binding force was discussed by thermodynamic equations. The binding distance and energy transfer efficiency between donor (BSA) and acceptor (troxerutin) were obtained effectively quenched fluorescence of BSA via static quenching processes. The binding constant Ka was calculated to be in the order of 106,indicating a strong interaction between Troxerutin and BSA. The number of binding site was approximately equal to 1,the binding distance was 1.97 nm,the energy transfer efficiency was 0.529,and the binding force was mainly hydrophobic force.Conclusion Troxerutin effectively quenchs the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA via static quenching mechanism,and the binding is mainly driven by the hydrophobic interaction.

Objective To investigate the effect of different volume of fresh gas on postoperative analepsia period of general anesthesia with sevoflurane in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Methods 181 ASAⅠ-Ⅱpatients aged 20 - 70 undergoing elective abdominal surgery were divided into group A (112 patients) and group B (69 patients). Both groups received sevoflurane general anesthesia during surgery. At the end of surgery , group A received fresh gas for no more than 2L/min , and group B received the gas for more than 2L/min. The recovery time of spontaneous breathing, eye-opening time (from the end of surger to eye opening), and time of endotracheal extubation (from the end of surgery to endotracheal extubation ) were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in the recovery time of spontaneous breathing ,eye-opening time and time of endotracheal extubation between group A and group B (P > 0.05); Gender and time of intraoperative continuous uses of sevoflurane had effects on the recovery time of spontaneous breathing , which showed statistical significances (P < 0.05). Conclusions Uses of fresh gas for no more than 2L/min or more than 2L/min after surgery have no marked effects on the recovery time. However , gender and time of intraoperative continuous uses of sevoflurane may have effects on the recovery time of spontaneous breathing.

In recent years, convolutional neural network(CNN) has exhibited its promising prospect and research value in assisting the analysis of lung cancer. The CNN can automatically learn from the images to extract specific clinically relevant features. This review summarized the construction of CNN by inputting CT images for end-to-end analysis to predict lung cancer risk and the efficacy of clinical treatment, as well as the application of CNN for analyzing pathological slides of resected pulmonary nodules via inputting histopathologic images.

Objective:To analyze the acupoint selection law of acupuncture for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using data mining techniques.Methods:Literature related to acupuncture for ASD was retrieved from the CNKI, SinoMed, VIP, Wanfang, and PubMed databases from the establishment of the databases to April 1, 2022, and then a database of acupuncture prescriptions was established. The frequency analysis of acupoint use was performed using Microsoft Excel 2019; the Apriori algorithm was used to analyze the association law of acupoints/acupoint areas; SPSS 26.0 was used to perform intergroup cluster analysis.Results:A total of 97 relevant articles with 97 acupuncture prescriptions and 98 acupoints/acupoint areas were included. The most frequently used acupoint was Shenmen (HT 7). The acupoint area of Jin's three-needle therapy and the Governor Vessel acupoints are commonly used. The most frequently occurring part of the acupoint/acupoint area was the head, and the most commonly used specific acupoint was the rendezvous acupoint. Association rule analysis yielded 40 groups of acupoints/acupoint areas, and the most commonly used combination was Laogong (PC 8) and Shenmen (HT 7). Four categories were extracted among high-frequency acupoints/acupoint areas by cluster analysis.Conclusion:Acupuncture treatment for ASD mainly selects the head acupoints, mainly selecting the acupoint area of Jin's three-needle therapy and the Governor Vessel acupoints, and paying attention to the use of specific acupoints.

Objective:To investigate the effect of radiofrequency radiation (RF) from 5G mobile phone communication frequency bands (3.5 GHz and 4.9 GHz) on the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in mice.Methods:A total of 24 healthy adult male C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old) were randomly divided into Sham, 3.5 GHz RF and 4.9 GHz RF groups, and 8 mice in each group. Mice in the RF groups were systemically exposed to 5G cell phone radiation for consecutive 35 d(1 h/d) with 50 W/m 2 power density. The BBB permeability of mice was detected by Evans Blue (EB) fluorescence experiment. The expression levels of the BBB tight junction-related proteins (ZO-1, occludin and claudin-11) and the gap junction-related protein Connexin 43 were determined by Western blot. Results:The number of spots, fluorescence intensity and comprehensive score of EB were significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group compared with the Sham group ( t=12.98, 17.82, P<0.001). Compared with the Sham group, the content of S100B in mouse serum was significantly increased in 3.5 GHz RF group and 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=19.34, 14.68, P<0.001). The BBB permeability was increased in the RF group. The expression level of occludin protein was significantly reduced in the 3.5 GHz RF group ( t=-3.13, P<0.05), and this decrease was much profound in the 4.9 GHz RF group ( t=-6.55, P<0.01). But the protein levels of ZO-1, Claudin-11 and Connexin 43 in the cerebral cortex of the RF groups had no significantly difference in comparison with the Sham group( P>0.05). Conclusions:The continuous exposure of mobile phone RF at 3.5 GHz or 4.9 GHz for 35 d (1 h/d) induces an increase of BBB permeability in the mouse cerebral cortex, perhaps by reducing the expression of occludin protein.

Objective:To observe the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (S-protein) on the proliferation of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells.Methods:SARS-CoV-2 S-protein gene fragment expression plasmid (p3xflag-S) was constructed and transfected into human RPE, HEK293 cells. DNA sequencing was used for identification, and the expression of Flag-S was detected by Western blot. HEK293 cells were divided into the cells 1, 2, 3 and 4 and transfected with GFP11 plasmid and vector, GFP1-10 plasmid and vector, transfected with GFP11 and pCMV-HA-ACE2 plasmid, GFP1-10 and p3xflag-S plasmid. Cell 1 was co-cultured with cell 2 (control group 1), cell 2 with cell 3 (control group 2), cell 3 with cell 4 (observation group), and cell 1 mixed with cells 2, 3 and 4 (control group 3). Bright-field microscopy and fluorescence microscopy were used to observe cell fusion. RPE cells were divided into control group and overexpression S-protein group. The cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry; the cell proliferation level was detected by Counting Kit 8 (CCK-8); and the S-protein expression level in RPE cells was detected by Western blot. The Student’s t-test was performed for comparison between groups. Results:DNA sequence assay showed that S-protein cDNA was fused with flag-tagged protein. Western blot assay showed that S-protein-related expression was elevated in transfected HEK293 cells compared with untransfected p3xflag-S cells. Large, multinucleated fused cell clusters were visible under bright-field microscopy; multiple nuclear with distinct green fluorescence were visible in the fused cells under fluorescence microscopy. Western blot assay showed elevated S-protein-related expression in transfected p3xflag-S plasmid RPE cells compared to untransfected p3xflag-S plasmid RPE cells. CCK-8 results showed that the proliferative capacity of RPE cells in the S-protein overexpression group was significantly reduced compared with the control group, with statistically significant differences ( t=22.70, 16.75, 23.38; P<0.000 1). The results of flow cytometry showed that the G1 phase cells in the control and overexpression S-protein groups were 41.1 % and 67.0%, respectively; compared with the control group, the G1 phase cells in the overexpression S-protein group were significantly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.76, P=0.018). The apoptosis rate was significantly increased in the S-protein overexpression group compared with the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.91, P=0.008). Conclusion:Overexpression of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein reduced the proliferation of human RPE cells.
