Objective To investigate the protective effect of mild hypothermia on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the effect of mild hypothermia on the expression of inhibitor of differentiation 2 (Id2) protein.Methods A total of 72 adult male rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group,a normothermia group,and a mild hypothermia group.A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced by a suture method.The mild hypothermia group was treated with low temperature (anal temperature 33±1 ℃,tympanic membrane temperature 31±1 ℃).Modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS) was used to evaluate neurological deficits,triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining was used to detect infarct volume,and Western blot was used to detect the Id2 expression in the ischemic cortex at ischemia-reperfusion 6,12,24,and 72 h,respectively.ResultsThe mNSS scores in the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than those in the normothermia group,the infarct volumes were significantly smaller than those in the normothermia group at ischemia-reperfusion 6,12,24,and 72 h (all P<0.001).Western blot analysis showed that the Id2 expressions in the ischemic cortex in the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than those in the normothermia group at ischemia-reperfusion 6,12,24,and 72 h (all P<0.05).Conclusion s Mild hypothermia can decrease neurological deficits and reduce infarct volume after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,its mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of the Id2 expression.

Objective To investigate the status of work fatigue of the disabled and the healthy so that we get to know their employment quality and compressive strength, and then provide the theory basis for the national policy formulation and vocational rehabilitation. Methods We randomly investigated 280 employees (220 disabled, 60 healthy people) in 3 companies from 3 provinces with Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS). Results There was no statistically significant difference between disabled and healthy people about work fatigue, and also that of 3 domains including psycho-social, cognitive and physical activity. After comparison of 40 items on FIS，the disabled had higher fatigue than that of the healthy in 4 items which belonged to psycho-social domain (P<0.05). Conclusion Disabled people are no less than healthy people in compression capability and working capability. They should believe in themselves, and their family and the employees should have more confidence about their work capability than before. Government should provide some support with them on job retention.

Objectives To investigate the occipital cortex metabolite alterations in repetitive and severe neonatal hypoglycemia rats treated with sodium pyruvate and to reveal the protective role of sodium pyruvate using high resolution 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.Methods Thirty-six 2-dayold Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into hypoglycemia group and pyruvate group with 18 rats in each group.Rats in both groups received intraperitoneal injections of insulin (40 U/kg body weight) at 2,4 and 6 days of age to induce severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose value ≤ 1.4 mmol/L).In the hypoglycemia group,2.5 hours after insulin injection,intraperitoneal injection of 50％ glucose (2 ml/kg) was administered to terminate hypoglycemia,while in the pyruvate group,50％ glucose (2 ml/kg) and sodium pyruvate solution 2.5 ml/kg (500 mg/kg) were injected.Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay was used to observe the status of injured neurons in six neonatal rats,and metabolite changes in occipital cortex of the other 12 rats were detected by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The difference between the two groups was compared by independent-samples t test.Results Neonatal rats of both groups reached severe hypoglycemia level 2.5 hours after insulin injection.Compared with hypoglycemia group,pyruvate group had fewer injured neurons (45±5 vs 113 ± 12,t=0.782,P=0.013) and lower injured index in the occipital cortex (0.15 ± 0.03 vs 0.36 ± 0.06,t=l.143,P=0.020).Pyruvate group showed significant decreases in the concentration of taurine [(13.31 ± 2.06) vs (18.44 ± 3.86) mol/kg,t=8.231],glutamine[(1.50 ± 0.24) vs (2.02 ± 0.40) mol/kg,t=3.137],glutamate[(7.04 ± 0.95) vs (9.40 ± 1.73) mol/kg,t=6.449],aspartate[(1.51 ± 0.28) vs (2.15 ± 0.58) mol/kg,t=2.561] and creatine [(6.37±0.99) vs (8.46± 1.77) mol/kg,t =4.226] in the occipital cortex (all P'＜0.017).Conclusions Simultaneous use of glucose and sodium pyruvate to terminate hypoglycemia in repetitive and severe neonatal hypoglycemia rats can effectively alleviate severe hypoglycemia-induced occipital lobe damage via regulating excitatory amino acid neurotransmitters,energy metabolism and other metabolic pathways.

Objective To explore the significance of expressions of glutamate transporters and γ-aminobutyric acid transporters in the rat model with cerebral ischemia.Methods The detections of the expressions of glutamate transporter-1 (EAAC-1) and γ-aminobutyric acid transporter-1 (GAT-1) in models with ischemia in vivo and hypoxia in vitro were performed by immunofluorescence,Westen-blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) methods.Results The expression of EAAC1 was reduced in the cerebrum of focal cerebral ischemic MACO rat model as well as in primary neurons cultured under hypoxia.The expression of GAT1 was elevated.Conclusion EAAC1 expression decreases while GAT1 expression increases under condition of cerebral ischemia and anoxia.

Objective To explore the value of conventional and functional MRI image parameter in preoperative grade of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (pNET).Methods Data of 35 cases of pNET were retrospectively analyzed,including tumor size,intensity of T1WI's and T2WI's signal,enhancement feature,and apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC)value.All kinds of tumors were classified into G1 to G3 according to WHO's classification in 2010.Results There were 40 pNETs (mean size(4.2±2.9)cm) among the 35 patients (20 male,and 15 female).By WHO's tumor grading,the number of patients from G1 to G3 was 18(45％),12(30％),and 10(25 ％),respectively.A higher grade was associated with larger tumor size (P＜0.05).Intensity of T1WI and T2WI signal has no significance for predicting tumor grade.Enhancement feature had statistical significance on tumor's grade (P＜0.05).ADC value decreased with the increase of tumor's grade,(2.23±0.80) × 10-3,(1.80±0.73) × 10-3,(0.92±0.24) ×10-3 mm2/s respectively for tumors from grade G1 to G3.Conclusion Enhancement features of MRI image and ADC value are conducive to preoperative grading of pNET.

Objective:To verify the clinical safety and efficacy of new intelligent ventilation mode adaptive minute ventilation (AMV)+IntelliCycle ventilation in patients with mild-to-moderate acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods:The patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS, admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from February 2018 to February 2019, were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation+pressure support ventilation (SIMV+PSV) group and AMV+IntelliCycle group according to the random number table method. All patients were given mechanical ventilation, anti-infection, analgesia and sedation, nutritional support and symptomatic treatment of primary disease after admission. SV800 ventilator was used for mechanical ventilation. In the AMV+IntelliCycle group, after setting the minute ventilation volume (VE), inhaled oxygen concentration (FiO 2) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), the ventilator was turned on the full-automatic mode, and the preset value of VE percentage was 120%. In the SIMV+PSV group, the ventilator parameters were set as follows: the ventilation frequency was 12-20 times/min, the inspiratory expiratory ratio was 1∶1-2, the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) limit level was 35-45 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa), and the setting of FiO 2 and PEEP was as the same as that of AMV+IntelliCycle group, the triggering flow was set to 2 L/min. All of the clinical parameters between the two groups were compared. The main outcomes were duration of mechanical ventilation, ventilator alarm times, manual operation times, and the mechanical power; the secondary outcomes were respiratory rate (RR), VE, tidal volume (VT), PIP, mouth occlusion pressure (P0.1), static compliance (Cst), work of breathing (WOB), and time constant at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, and 120 hours; and the blood gas analysis parameters of patients before and after ventilation were recorded. Results:A total of 92 patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS were admitted during the study period, excluding those who quit the study due to death, abandonment of treatment, accidental extubation of tracheal intubation and so on. Eighty patients were finally enrolled in the analysis, with 40 patients in SIMV+PSV group and AMV+IntelliCycle group respectively. ① Results of main outcomes: compared with the SIMV+PSV mode, AMV+IntelliCycle ventilation mode could shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation (hours: 106.35±55.03 vs. 136.50±73.78), reduce ventilator alarm times (times: 10.35±5.87 vs. 13.93±6.87) and the manual operations times (times: 4.25±2.01 vs. 6.83±3.75), and decrease the mechanical power (J/min: 12.88±4.67 vs. 16.35±5.04, all P < 0.05). But the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) of AMV+IntelliCycle group was significantly higher than that of SIMV+PSV group [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 41.58±6.81 vs. 38.45±5.77, P < 0.05]. ② Results of secondary outcomes: the RR of both groups was improved significantly with the prolongation of ventilation time which showed a time effect ( F = 4.131, P = 0.005). Moreover, compared with SIMV+PSV mode, AMV+IntelliCycle mode could maintain a better level of RR, with intervention effect ( F = 5.008, P = 0.031), but no interaction effect was found ( F = 2.489, P = 0.055). There was no significant difference in VE, PIP, P0.1 or Cst between the two groups, without intervention effect ( F values were 3.343, 2.047, 0.496, 1.456, respectively, all P > 0.05), but they were significantly improved with the prolongation of ventilation time in both groups, with time effect ( F values were 2.923, 12.870, 23.120, 7.851, respectively, all P < 0.05), but no interaction effect was found ( F values were 1.571, 1.291, 0.300, 0.354, respectively, all P > 0.05). The VT, WOB or time constant in both groups showed no significant changes with the prolongation of ventilation time, and no significant difference was found between the two groups, there was neither time effect ( F values were 0.613, 1.049, 2.087, respectively, all P > 0.05) nor intervention effect ( F values were 1.459, 0.514, 0.923, respectively, all P > 0.05). Conclusion:AMV+IntelliCycle ventilation mode can shorten the ventilation time of patients with mild-to-moderate ARDS, reduce mechanical power, and reduce the workload of medical care, but PaCO 2 in the patients with AMV+IntelliCycle mode is higher than that in the patients with SIMV+PSV mode.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted MRI in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.Methods 50 female patients with lesions verified by pathology were included in this study,all of them underwent multi-b value (b=0-2000s/mm2) DWI scanning.Tissue diffusivity (D),pseudo-diffusivity (D*),perfusion fraction (f) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were acquired using IVIM model.The difference of these parameters in benign and malignant breast lesions was analyzed statistically.The diagnostic performance of these parameters was evaluated by ROC analysis.Results In benign lesions,D,D*,f and ADC value was (1.31±-0.47) ×10-3 mm2/s,(26.47±13.81) ×10-3 mm2/s,(17.35±3.78)％,(1.37±0.37)×10-3 mm2/s,respectively.In malignant lesions,D,D*,f and ADC value was(0.95±0.28)×10-3 mm2/s,(24.58±14.62)×10-3 mm2/s,(23.69±4.35)％,(1.03±0.14)×10-3 mm2/s,respectively.There were statistically significant differences between benign and malignant lesions in D,f and ADC value (t=3.203,-5.139,3.991,P＜0.05).There was no statisticaly significant difference in D* value (P＞0.05).ROC analysis showed that AUC of D value was 0.866,which was the highest one.AUC was increased to 0.934 by combining D with f value for diagnosis.Condusions The parameters acquired from IVIM model are useful to differentiate benign from malignant breast lesions.D value obtained from IVIM model may have relatively high sensitivity and specificity,D Combined with f value can obtain the best diagnostic performance.
