Objective: To investigate the effect of phosphocreatine (PCr) on angiotensin II (Ang II) induced proliferation and collagen synthesis of cardiac ifbroblasts in neonatal rats with its mechanism.
Methods: The cardiac ifbroblasts (CF) from neonatal rats were cultured in vitro and were divided into 4 groups.①Control group, the CF was cultured in non-serum DMEM,②Ang II group, the CF was cultured with Ang II at (1×10-6) mol/L,③PCr treated group, the CF was cultured with PCr at 10 mmol/L, and④Ang II+PCr group. The CF cell cycle percentage was detected by lfow cytometric assay, myocardial collagen content was observed by VG staining and protein expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK1/2) was detected by immuneohistochemistry.
Results: ① Compared with Control group, the CF in Ang II group showed increased percentage of S phase and decreased percentage of G0/G1 and G2/M phases, increased collagen content and pERK1/2 protein expression, all P<0.01.② The CF cell cycle, collagen content and pERK1/2 protein expression were similar between Control group and PCr treated group, all P>0.05. ③ Compared with Control group, Ang II + PCr group had elevated pERK1/2 protein expression, P<0.01, while the CF cell cycle and collagen content were similar with Control group, P>0.05.④Compared with Ang II group, the CF in Ang II + PCr group had increased percentage of G0/G1 and G2/M phases, decreased percentage of S phase, decreased collagen content and pERK1/2 protein expression, all P<0.01.
Conclusion: PCr may partially inhibit Ang II induced CF proliferation and collagen synthesis which might be related to the inhibition of excessively activated ERK1/2. Therefore, PCr could improve Ang II induced myocardial ifbrosis in neonatal rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of deferasirox on DLL4 expression and angiogenesis in a narrow pedicle and random flap in rats.Methods Twenty SD rats were randomly divided into the deferagirox group and control group.Rats were subjected to deferagirox of 100 mg · kg-1 · d-1 inthe experimental groups,respectively and the same dose saline in the control group for 1 week. In each group,flap were created in the bilateral back of each rats.Ratio of length to width of tissue in the pedicle portion and the flap portion was 1 cm × 1 cm and 3 cm × 3 cm,respectively.The tissue samples were taken from the pedicle and the middle portions of the flap.The DLL4 and CD105 expression was also detected with immunohistochemistry (SABC).Results Compared with control group,whatever in the pedicle portion or the middle portion,there was a significant increase of microvessels marked by CD105 and a significant decrease of flap microvessels stained by DLL4 in the deferagirox group.In both groups,compared with the pedicle portion,there was a significant increase of microvessels marked by CD105 and DLL4 in the the middle portion.Conclusions Deferasirox can in crease the CD105 expression and angiogenesis of the slender narrow pedicle random flap.This process might be related to the inhibition of DLL4 protein expression,which is significant in the notch signaling pathway.

Objectives: To study the changes of blood levels of soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and matrix metalloproteinases-14 (MMP-14);to explore the correlation between sSema4D and ventricular remodeling in patients of dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.
Methods: Our research included in 2 groups:Dilated cardiomyopathy group, n=86 patients and Control group, n=32 healthy subjects. Blood levels of sSema4D, MMP14, Pro-BNP and hs-CRP were examined by ELISA. Left atrial diameter (LAD), right ventricular diameter (RVD), ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were measured by echocardiography. Correlation analysis between blood levels of sSema4D, MMP-14 and the parameters for left ventricular remodeling was conducted.
Results: Blood levels of sSema4D and MMP14 were different between 2 groups, P<0.005. In Dilated cardiomyopathy group, sSema4D level was positively related to MMP-14 and LVEDD (r=0.462, P=0.001 and r=0.643, P<0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: Serum level of sSema4D might be related to ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy which could be used as risk factor for predicting the prognosis of heart failure in relevant patients.

Objective To observe the dynamic changes of ghrelin of spleen-qi-deficiency rats and the intervention effects ofSijunzi Decoction.Methods Experimental rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group andSijunzi Decoction group. Except for normal control group, spleen-qi-deficiency model was copied through the two-factor methods of breaking qi by bitter cold and swimming exhausted. Meanwhile,Sijunzi Decoction group was given 20 g/(kg?d)Sijunzi Decoction intervention. The activities of GAS, MTL, SS and VIP at different time points (14, 21, 28 d) in intestine and serum were detected by ELISA and RIA. At the same time the intervention effect of Sijunzi Decoction was studied.Results Compared with normal control group, GAS and MTL in intestine and serum of model rats decreased, while SS and VIP increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with model group, GAS and MTL in intestine and serum of rats in theSijunzi Decoction group increased, while SS and VIP decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Ghrelin in intestine and serum of spleen-qi-deficiency rats shows dynamic coincidental changes.Sijunzi Decoction can treat spleen qi deficiency by regulating the activities of rat ghrelin.

Objective To investigate the changes of the gray matter in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on the voxel based morphometry (VBM).Methods 35 patients with RA and 30 healthy volunteers with age,sex and education level matched performed a high-resolution 3D-T1-weighted whole brain structural scan by GE Signa HDxt 1.5T MRI scanner.The high resolution T1WI images were preprocessed by the VBM 12 implemented in the SPM 12 software to display the gray matter structures of the RA patients and the healthy volunteers.T test was used to compare the morphological changes of gray matter between the RA patients and the volunteers.Results The gray matter volume gray matter volume in the right lentiform nucleus,left frontal lobe and left cerebellum posterior lobe significantly decreased in RA patients,and their gray matter volume had no correlation with the clinical indications.The increase of gray matter volume was not found in the RA patients.Conclusion RA patients show decreased gray matter volume in several cerebral regions,which suggests that RA can lead to the brain structural abnormalities.VBM can provide an objective imaging evidence to evaluate the cerebral morphological abnormalities of RA.

Objective: To study the relationship between sugar sweetened beverages consumption characteristics and insomnia of college students in Yunnan Province, so as to provide evidence for sleep quality improvement of college students. Methods: A cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 515 college students from two universities (Kunming University and Dali Nursing Vocational College) in Kunming and Dali in Yunnan Province for a longitudinal study, including baseline survey (T1, November 2021) and three follow up surveys (T2: June 2022, T3: November 2022, T4: June 2023). Sugar sweetened beverages consumption of college students was collected by Semi quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire and insomnia was assessed by Insomnia Severity Index Scale. Sugarsweetened beverages consumption was analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test. The Mann-Whiter U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the detection rate of insomnia in college students with different population characteristics, and the generalized estimating equations model was established to analyze the association between sugar sweetened beverages consumption and insomnia. Results: The reported rate of insomnia among college students from T1 to T4 was 21.2%, 23.6%, 30.5 % and 36.0%, respectively. The median of sugar sweetened beverages consumption per week was 5 (1,9) bottles per person, and there were significant differences in sugar sweetened beverages (carbonated beverages, fruit beverages, tea beverages, milk beverages, energy beverages) consumption among college students with different insomnia status ( χ 2=42.91, 23.67, 29.98, 61.70, 30.82, P <0.01). The analysis of the generalized estimating equation model revealed that the consumption of carbonated beverages ( β= 0.04, 95%CI =0.00-0.08) and the consumption of milk beverages among college students ( β=0.04, 95%CI =0.00-0.09) were correlated with insomnia ( P <0.05). The stratified analysis indicated that consumption of carbonated beverages by female college students was associated with insomnia [ β(95%CI )=0.06(0.01-0.11)]; consumption of milk beverages among college students from middle income family was associated with insomnia [ β (95% CI )=0.05(0.00-0.10)], and consumption of carbonated beverages and fruit beverages from college students with high household economic status were both associated with insomnia [ β (95% CI )=0.35(0.23-0.46), 0.12(0.00-0.24)] ( P <0.05). Conclusion Sugar sweetened beverages, especially carbonated beverages, are associated with insomnia among college students in Yunnan Province.
