Aim To study the effect of synapsinⅠon synaptic transmission in rat dentate gyrus induced by(-) clausenamide.Methods The basal synaptic transmission experiment was conducted through electrophysiological recordings.The effect of(-) clausenamide on synapsinⅠ phosphorylation was measured by western blot and confocal microscopy.Results(-)Clausenamide increased the population spike(PS) of hippocampal dentate gyrus.The phosphorylation of synapsinⅠ was increased both in cortex and hippocampus,the maximum effect was observed at 5 min in hippocampus and at 15 min in cortex.Furthermore,(-)clausenamide promoted the phosphorylation of synapsinⅠat a dose-denpendent manner in PC12 cells.The phosphorylation of synapsinⅠ in PC12 cells and synaptosomes incubated with(-)clausenamide was increased and reached maximum at 1~2 min.However,H89,PKA inhibitor,blocked the effect of(-)clausenamide on synapsinⅠ phosphorylation.Conclusion(-)Clausenamide activated synapsinⅠ via PKA signal pathway,which may contribute to the effect of(-)clausenamide on potentiating basal synaptic transmission.

Type 2 diabetic patients were divided to 3 groups according to their urinary albumin excretion rate: simple diabetic group (n=30), early diabetic nephropathy group (n=24) and clinical diabetic nephropathy (n=20). Endothelium-dependent dilation function of brachial artery was measured by high resolving power colour Doppler echography and circulating endothelial cells in blood were counted. The results showed that endothelium-dependent dilation function of brachial artery in 3 groups declined progressively in the order of simple diabetic group, early diabetic nephropathy group and clinical diabetic nephropathy group, suggesting that this measurement may serve as one parameter reflecting the status of vascular endothelial function and the extent of vascular lesion.

Aim To study of the expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations in three cells.Method Four α-synuclein gene truncations were obtained by PCR method,followed by subcloning into the pEGFP-N1 eukaryotic expression vector.Four obtained recombination plasmids were transfected into MN9D cells,PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells using Lipofectamine 2000 respectively.The expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations were observed by Confocal.Results Distribution of four α-synuclein truncations was discrepant obviously,the truncations,with more C terminal remained,were prone to emerging in nuclei.Conclusion Localization of α-synuclein protein in cells may be related to the C terminal,and the whole C terminal plays an important role in distribution of α-synuclein into nuclei.

Objective To discuss the advantages of postoperative early ambulation for patients after high-viscosity bone cement injection treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture.Methods A total of 42 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture were divided into the study group (n=21)and the control group (n=21).High-viscosity bone cement injection was used to perform percutaneous vertebroplasty for the patients in the study group,while low-viscosity bone cement injection was adopted to complete percutaneous vertebroplasty for the patients in the control group.The patients of the study group were asked to get out of bed in 4 hours after vertebroplasty and to do off-bed activity in 8 hours after vertebroplasty,while the patients of the control group were asked to get out of bed in 12 hours after vertebroplasty and to do off-bed activity in 24 hours after vertebroplasty.CT reexamination was performed within 3 days after vertebroplasty to observe the paravertebral leakage and the cement distribution in vertebrae.The visual analogue scale (VAS),the ability score of daily life activy (Barthel),the risk score of pressure skin ulcer (Braden) and the risk rating of deep venous thrombosis were used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness for both groups.Results The procedure of vertebroplasty was successfully accomplished in all patients of both groups.No statistically significant differences in VAS score and in Barthel score at 24 hours and 7 days after vertebroplasty existed between the two groups (P＞0.05).Eight days after vertebroplasty,the differences in Barthel score,Braden score and the risk rating of deep venous thrombosis between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05),although the difference in VAS score between the two groups was not statistically significant.Conclusion In treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture by using high-viscosity bone cement injection,postoperative early ambulation can effectively improve the patient's daily activities,reduce the risk of the formation of pressure skin ulcer and deep vein thrombosis,thus,reduce the nursing workload for both nurses and patient's family members.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:749-752).

Objective To discuss the perioperative nursing measures for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who are receiving percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) treatment by using high viscosity bone cement.Methods A total of 30 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures were included in this study.All patients were treated with PVP by using high viscosity bone cement.Preoperative routine nursing,psychological intervention,dietary intervention,postoperative guidance of rehabilitation exercise of limbs,close observation of bone cement leakage were strictly implemented,and the corresponding nursing measures were promptly taken when needed.Results Through strict implement of the nursing intervention all 30 patients could actively cooperate with PVP treatment,and after PVP the pain was significantly relieved in all patients.Conclusion Adequate preoperative preparation,proper postoperative guidance,careful observation and effective nursing can help the patients resume their daily life activities as soon as possible,relieve the pain,and improve the quality of life as well.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:274-276)

Primary hepatic carcinoma, hepatic carcinoma for short, is a common gastrointestinal tumor with an insidious onset and rapid progression, and its incidence rate is increasing year by year, seriously threatening the life and health of our people. At present, there is still a lack of specific markers for early diagnosis and treatment of hepatic carcinoma, so the research on its biological characteristics and pathogenesis has become very urgent. Metabolic reprogramming is one of the main characteristics of tumor cells, and lipid metabolic reprogramming is involved in the occurrence and development of hepatic carcinoma. Therefore, the key metabolic enzymes and regulatory molecules in the process of lipid metabolism are considered as important targets for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatic carcinoma. This paper mainly focuses on the signaling pathways and regulatory molecules related to hepatocellular carcinoma lipid metabolism, as well as the related anti-hepatoma drugs, so as to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of hepatic carcinoma.

Objective: To analyze non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) by bioinformatics methods to find key pathways and potential therapeutic targets for NASH. Methods: GSE61260 chip was downloaded from the public microarray database and liver biopsy samples from 24 NASH cases and 38 healthy controls were included. The Limma software package in R language was used to screen DEGs under the condition of difference multiple > 1.5 and adj. P < 0.05. The clusterProfiler software package was used for GO analysis and KEGG analysis. The STRING online database was used for protein-protein interaction analysis, and the L1000 and DrugBank databases were used for drug prediction. Results: Compared with healthy control group, 857 DEGs were screened out in NASH group including 167 up-regulated genes and 690 down-regulated genes. GO analysis showed that DEGs were mainly involved in inflammation and cholesterol metabolism. KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in PPAR, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, oxidative phosphorylation and other signaling pathways. Among them, eight genes of ACSL4, CYP7A1, FABP4, FABP5, lipoprotein lipase, ME1, OLR1 and PLIN1 were enriched in PPAR signaling pathway, and 165 interaction nodes were formed with 47 DEGs-encoded proteins. Lipoprotein lipase interacted with 21 DEGs, and its up-regulated expression had improved lipid metabolism, insulin resistance and anti-inflammatory effects. Four drugs (gemfibrozil, bezafibrate, omega-3 carboxylic acid and glycyrrhizic acid) were screened by L1000 and DrugBank to activate lipoprotein lipase. Presently, these four drugs are clinically used to treat hypertriglyceridemia or to improve inflammation. In this regard, we speculated that the pharmacological effects of these four drugs had improved NASH by activating lipoprotein lipase to promote liver lipid metabolism and alleviate inflammation. Conclusion PPAR signaling pathway is closely associated to the occurrence and development of NASH, and thereby lipoprotein lipase agonist is a new attempt to treat NASH.

Objective:To observe the physiological effect of bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation among stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients.Methods:This was a small sample size, exploratory, interventional study. A total of 10 outpatients with stable COPD were included from Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University between January 2018 and December 2018. The BiPAP mode of noninvasive mechanical ventilation was adopted. The inspiratory positive airway pressure was gradually increased from 10 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa) to 24 cmH 2O, and each time by 2 cmH 2O. The expiratory positive airway pressure remained unchanged at 4 cmH 2O. Baseline and test data were collected before and during the ventilation for comparison, including total respiratory cycle time (T tot), inspiratory time (T i), inspiratory time (T e), inspiratory tidal volume (V Ti); mouth pressure (P mo), esophageal pressure (P eso), transdiaphragmatic pressure (P di), esophageal pressure time product (PTP es), diaphragm pressure time product (PTP di), root mean square of electromyography of diaphragm (RMS), V e/RMS, inspiratory capacity (IC), the change in end-expiratory lung volume (ΔEELV) and dynamic PEEPi (PEEPi dyn). Results:All the 10 patients completed the trial. Compared to calm breathing, V Ti, V e, P mo, IC, ΔEELV score and V e/RMS increased significantly with increasing pressure levels (all P<0.05); T e only increased significantly at 20-22 cmH 2O pressure levels compared to calm breathing ( P<0.05). P di, PTP es, PTP di, RMS and RMS/RMS max decreased significantly with increasing levels (all P<0.05). PTP es and PTP di converged to 0 and no longer showed significant changes after the 18 cmH 2O pressure level. RMS and RMS/RMS max flattened out at pressure level greater than 16 cmH 2O. T i/T tot only significantly decreased at the 20 cmH 2O pressure level compared to calm breathing. PEEPi dyn showed a tendency to decrease and then increase with increasing pressure levels. Conclusion:BiPAP ventilation, at appropriate pressure levels, significantly relieves pulmonary ventilation disorders and reduces the load of respiratory muscle in patients with stable COPD.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of perioperative bundle of care for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are receiving CT-guided percutaneous minimally-invasive argon-helium knife cryoablation.Methods A total of 30 HCC patients,who underwent percutaneous argonhelium knife cryoablation,were enrolled in this study.Perioperative measures based on the concept of bundle of care were implemented,which included training of nursing team members,perfect preoperative psychological nursing,dietary guidance,preoperative routine preparations,effective intraoperative guidance and close observation of the patient's condition,postoperative activity guidance,prevention and observation of complications,etc.Results All 30 advanced HCC patients could actively cooperate with physicians for the performance of percutaneous argon helium cryoablation.After the treatment,two patients developed nausea and vomiting and one patient developed chills and fever,which were improved after symptomatic treatment.All the 30 patients recovered well during the perioperative period and were discharged from hospital smoothly.Conclusion Perioperative bundle of care can help patients restore the surgical damage as soon as possible,reduce the pain and improve the quality of life.
