Objective To explore the difference of gene expression profiling between normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits. Methods cDNA chip of normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits were downloaded from GEO database. The chip was analyzed and screened by Bioconductor software, and function enrichment and pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes were analyzed by Cytoscape software. Then 6 adult male Japanese rabbits were used, and randomly divided into normal control group (n=3) and SAH model group (n=3). Rabbit SAH models were established by cisterna secondary-blood-injection method. RNA data of normal basilar artery specimens on the 0 day and basilar artery specimens after SAH on the 5-day were used to validate the parts of differentially expressed genes by qRT-PCR. Results A total of 4356 differentially expressed genes were found in normal basilar arteries and basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits. Among them, 920 genes were considered to be significant with P-value<0.05, such as GRIK1, MYH13, ZNF45, SAA3, RLN1, MSR1 and others. Function enrichment analysis indicated that the differentially expressed genes were involved in regulation of Ca2+transmembrane transporter activity, negative regulation of ion transmembrane transport, regulation of potassium ion transport, positive regulation of JAK-STAT signaling cascades and other biological processes. Pathway analysis showed that calcium signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and other signaling pathways maybe related with the differentially expressed genes. qRT-PCR verification showed that the expression of MSR1 in SAH model group was consistent with that of the chip result. Conclusion The gene expressions of basilar arteries of CVS after SAH in rabbits are significantly different, and MSR1 gene can be used as a potential target for studying the pathological mechanism of CVS.

Objective To observe the risk factors of recurrence after ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for treating uremia secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT).Methods Totally 59 patients with uremia SHPT who underwent ultrasound-guided thermal ablation were enrolled,including 23 cases with(relapse group)and 36 without SHPT recurrence(non relapsed group).Clinical data were compared between groups,univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to screen independent risk factors of SHPT recurrence.Results There were significant differences of serum free thyroxine(FT4),urea,intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH)1 day after ablation,1 day decrease rate of iPTH,the maximum diameter of the largest nodule,ablation time,total ablation energy,energy to volume ratio and the proportion of 1 day decrease rate of iPTH≤90%between groups(all P<0.05).Higher urea,lower energy to volume ratio and 1 day decrease rate of iPTH≤90%were all independent risk factors of SHPT recurrence(all P<0.05).Conclusion Higher urea,lower energy to volume ratio and 1 day decrease rate of iPTH≤90%were independent risk factors of recurrence after ultrasound-guided thermal ablation for treating uremia SHPT.

Objective:To evaluate the effects and adverse reactions of external skin care products containing oltides and bio-polysaccharides on epidermaligopep barrier function of sensitive skin.Methods:From December 2019 to July 2020, there were 30 sensitive skin volunteers diagnosed and treated in the dermatology clinic of Beijing Tongren Hospital, including 3 males and 27 females, aged 18-57 years, with an average of 34 years, and the course of disease was 1-10 years, with an average of 5.75 years. They were treated once with products containing oligopeptides and biopolysaccharides on the day of enrollment. Before treatment, 1 week and 4 weeks after treatment, we observed and evaluated through VISIA analysis; skin physiological index measurement, subjective and objective improvement assessment, and product safety were evaluated through questionnaire surveys.Results:The VISIA data showed that the red zone was significantly lower than the baseline, and the data at the 4th week and before treatment were significantly improved ( P<0.05). On skin physiology, the test showed that after treatment, the difference between two follow-up visits and the water content before was statistically significant ( P<0.05). TEWL value after 4 weeks of treatment was significantly improved as compared with the baseline ( P<0.05). During the entire study process, no adverse reactions related to the product occurred. Conclusions:This skin care product containing oligopeptides and biopolysaccharides can increase the water content of the sensitive skin, reduce the water loss through the skin, and improve the skin barrier function. Meanwhile, no server adverse reaction is detected through the whole experiment.
