Objective To determine the effect of treadmill exercise on expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) in rats follow-ing traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Fifty-five male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to sham (n=15), control (n=20) and exercise (n=20) groups, the later two groups subjected to unilateral cortical contusion injury (CCI). All the rats were assessed with foot-fault test 6, 12, 18 and 24 days after CCI. Evans blue perfusion was used to evaluate the integrity of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) 48 hours after CCI. Protein expression of MMP-2 was determined with Western blotting one week after CCI. Results The score of foot-fault test improved more in the exercise group than in the control group 12, 18 and 24 days after CCI (F>4.793, P<0.05). Evans blue extravasa-tion was less in the exercise group than in the control group (t=-8.091, P<0.001), as well as the expression of MMP-2 (t=-13.12, P<0.001). Conclusion Early treadmill exercise can improve the motor function in rats with TBI, which may associate with inhibition of MMP-2 ex-pression to protect BBB integrity.

Objective:To investigate any change in the effective connectivity between the bilateral anterior central gyruses after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Methods:Twenty-one healthy subjects were examined using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after receiving continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The brain atlas of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was used for fine partitioning of the bilateral anterior central gyruses. Granger causality analysis was used to compare any changes in the effective connectivity between them.Results:After the cTBS inhibited the right M1 area, significant changes in effective connectivity among the sub-regions of the bilateral M1 area were observed. The effective connectivity of the right upper limb to the left upper limb and the left head to face were weakened, while that of the left upper limb to the right head, as well as of the face to the right upper limb was enhanced.Conclusion:For people whose right M1 area has been inhibited by cTBS, the effective connectivity changes in both upper limb functional areas of the M1 region reflect inter-hemispheric inhibition. Opposite changes were found in the trunk and upper limbs.

Objective To explore the psychological experience on engaging in employment rehabilitation post in long-time hospitalized patients with psychosis. Methods A total of 7 patients were interviewed in depth to obtain information. And then, the data were analyzed by the phenomenology method. Results Psychiatric patients all felt that ward management restricted the free when they were in rehabilitation period without being out of hospital. They were willing to engage in rehabilitation work which they could do. During working, they were in happy mood;they could control their own emotions effectively and take reasonable coping modes when communicating with others;they also were confident in recovery of mental disease along with cooperating actively with medication management. Conclusions The closed management model should be changed for long-time hospitalized patients with psychosis and simple jobs should be provided. This is helpful to correct patients′ improper cognition and maintain good social functions. Providing rehabilitation post can effectively stabilize patients′ emotions and improve patients′ mental outlook. We should strengthen the understanding of psychiatric patients and save social resources.

Objective:To understand the current status of the level of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy and health anxiety among chronic disease residents, as well as the urban-rural differences, in order to provide a basis for improving the level of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy among chronic disease residents.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From July to August 2022, a multi-stage random sampling method was adopted to select 201 rural residents with chronic diseases in one rural health center and 242 urban residents with chronic diseases in two community health service centers. General demographic characteristics questionnaire, Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Literacy Questionnaire and Short version of Health Anxiety Scale were used for questionnaire survey.Results:There were 93 males and 108 females with chronic diseases in 201 rural chronic disease residents, and the age range was 19-69 years. There were 116 males and 126 females with chronic diseases in 242 urban chronic disease residents, and the age range was 18-69 years old. The score of chronic disease prevention and control literacy of rural chronic disease residents (7.86 ± 2.25) was lower than that of urban chronic disease residents (8.55 ± 2.03). The score of health anxiety of rural chronic disease residents (13.69 ± 5.26) was higher than that of urban chronic disease residents (11.67 ± 5.95). Both differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.43, 3.79, both P<0.05). After controlling the general demographic data, the layered linear regression analysis of rural chronic disease residents and urban chronic disease residents showed that health anxiety can negatively affect rural chronic disease residents and urban chronic disease residents of chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy level ( β=-0.185, -0.129, both P<0.05). Conclusions:There are urban-rural differences in chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy and health anxiety of chronic disease residents in community. It is necessary to strengthen psychological construction among rural chronic disease residents in order to improve their chronic disease prevention and treatment literacy.

In skeletal system, the coupling effect between angiogenesis and osteogenesis can promote bone growth and maintain bone mass balance. Type H vessel is a special capillary subtype in bone with high expression of Endomucin (Emcn) and CD31. The essence of type H vessel is vascular endothelial cells, mainly distributed in the metaphysis, surrounded by bone progenitor cells, which mediates the coupling mechanism of angiogenesis and osteogenesis, involving a variety of cytokines and signaling pathways. Factors including platelet-derived growth factor type BB, slit guidance ligand 3, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha, Notch, and vascular endothelial growth factor are involved in the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Type H vessels transmit signals through a variety of cytokines to enhance the connection between angiogenesis and bone formation, thus regulating bone growth and bone homeostasis. In addition, this article discusses the research prospects of improving bone loss by using it as a target, so as to provide reference for clinical bone injury repair and anti-osteoporosis treatment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of siRNAs targeting CD97 immune epitopes on proliferation, infiltration, apoptosis and cell cycle of breast cancer cells.
METHODSsiRNA sequences targeting CD97and CD97immune epitopes were designed according to Gene Bank NM_001025160.2 with smart siCatchsiRNA design software. CD97siRNAs were transfected into MDA-MB231 cells in which CD97 was highly expressed. Highest sensitive CD97and CD97siRNA were screened by Western blotting. Inverted microscope was used to observe the growth of CD97siRNAs-transfected MDA-MB231 cells; the proliferation activity of MDA-MB231 cells was detected by MTT method; the wound healing assay and Transwell migration test were performed to examine the migration and infiltration ability of CD97and CD97siRNA-transfected MDA-MB231 cells; the effects of CD97siRNA and CD97siRNA on cell apoptosis and cell cycle of MDA-MB231 cells were detected by TUNEL and flow cytometry.
RESULTSThe growth and proliferation activity of CD97siRNAs-transfected MDA-MB231 cells were significantly lower than those in the control groups, and such differences were more significant in CD97siRNA-transfected group (all<0.05); scratch test showed that the wound healing rate was lower in CD97siRNAs-transfected groups, especially in CD97siRNA-transfected group (all<0.05); Transwell migration showed that the number of MDA-MB231 cells crossing through chambers were less in CD97siRNAs-transfected groups, especially in CD97siRNA-transfected group (all<0.05); no significant difference in cell apoptosis was observed between CD97siRNAs-transfected groups and control groups; cell cycle detection showed that CD97siRNAs-transfected groups had less cells in G/Gphase and more cells in S phase compared with the control groups, and such effect on cell cycle was more marked in CD97siRNA-transfected group (all<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSCD97 plays an important role in the cell growth, proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells, and compared with CD97, CD97may have more effective inhibitory effects on cellular malignant behaviors.
