Objective:To assess the effect of isokinetic muscle strength training on cognitive function and motor function of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods:Forty patients with AD were randomly assigned to trial group and control group.All patients in both groups received conventional treatment,while the patients in the trial group received isokinetic muscle strength training at the same time.After two months,the cognitive function and motor function were assessed.Results:After two months,the trial group showed improvement in cognition CAMCOG whereas the control group declined.Compared to the control group,the trial group presented significant improvement on the functional capacity such as Berg balance,timed-up and go,as well as Functional reach.Conclusion:Isokinetic muscle strength training may be recommended as an augmentation treatment for patients with AD.

OBJECTIVETo study on the feasibility of cutting process of fresh Angelica sinensis.

METHODQualitative and quantitative chemical analysis methods were used to evaluate the quality of different cutting processed A. sinensis.

RESULTThe contents of ligustilide and ferulic acid in the fresh cutting processed were both lower than the traditional cutting process, and the similarity of fingerprints of two different cutting processed A. sinensis were basically above 90%.

CONCLUSIONThe method of cutting process of fresh A. sinensis was not suitable apparently, and the effect on clinical application of these two different cutting processed A. sinensis need more study.

Objective To explore the expression of prohibitin(PHB)in tumor tissues and analyze its effect on the prognosis of patients with digestive system malignant tumor(DT)and its mechanism.Methods ①The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)database were used to compare the expression of PHB in tumor tissues and normal tissues.②Five pairs of gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and 5 pairs of colon cancer and adjacent tissues were collected,and RT-qPCR was used to verify the mRNA expression levels.③ RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to verify the differential expression of PHB in normal gastric mucosa cells(GES-1),gastric cancer cells(AGS,MKN45 and HGC27),normal colon cells NCM-460 and human colon cancer cell line SW480.④R language was used to analyze the effect of PHB on the prognosis,tumor microenvironment,tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability of DT patients.⑤CIBERSORT algorithm was used to study the correlation between PHB expression in tumor tissues and tumor immune cell infiltration.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to explore the biological function of PHB.⑥R language was used to analyze the relationship between PHB and drug sensitivity.Results ①PHB was highly expressed in colon cancer,cholangiocarcinoma,esophageal cancer,liver cancer,rectal cancer and gastric cancer(P＜0.01).②RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that PHB was highly expressed in the tissues and cell lines of gastric cancer(P＜0.01)and colon cancer(P＜0.01).③The differential expression of PHB was associated with poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(P=0.002).In cholangiocarcinoma,gastric cancer,pancreatic cancer,liver cancer and esophageal cancer,PHB was positively correlated with tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability(P＜0.05).④PHB was positively correlated with M2 macrophages in colon cancer(P=0.03).In cholangiocarcinoma,it was positively correlated with activated CD4+memory T cells(P＜0.05).In esophageal carcinoma,it was positively correlated with activated hypertrophy(P=0.03).It was positively correlated with M0 and M2 macrophages and monocytes in hepatocellular carcinoma(P＜0.05).It was positively correlated with resting dendritic cells,eosinophils and activated CD4+memory T cells in rectal cancer(P＜0.05).It was positively correlated with M0 macrophages,activated mast cells,neutrophils,resting natural killer cells,activated CD4+memory T cells and follicular helper T cells in gastric cancer(P＜0.05).⑤PHB was mainly enriched in class I receptors,PPAR and calcium signaling pathways(P＜0.05).⑥ The expression of PHB was positively correlated with the sensitivity of 13 drugs,including ammonafide,prasinolide and abiraterone(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of PHB is significantly related to the infiltration of various immune cells in DT and poor prognosis in DT patients,which may become a new biomarker and potential immunomodulatory target of DT.

Objective Explore the comprehensive emotion adjustment pattern that combines non-contact physiological and psychological detection methods in fasting and low metabolism scenarios.This study aims to verify the accuracy of non-contact physiological and psychological detection algorithms and evaluate the effectiveness of multimodal emotion adjustment schemes for addressing negative emotional states such as depression and anxiety.Methods Deploy non-contact physiological and psychological detection algorithms and emotion adjustment plans to build a multimodal emotion adjustment system.Collect physiological and psychological data from volunteers participating in the 15-days complete fasting human low metabolism experiment of"Green Star Travel Ⅷ".Utilize finger clip oximeters and scales to verify the accuracy of existing non-contact physiological and psychological methods within the system.Design an emotion adjustment experiment featuring four groups:sound adjustment,acupoints adjustment,magnetism adjustment,and combination adjustment.Compare the volunteers'scale scores before and after the adjustments to verify the effectiveness of the system's emotion adjustment capabilities.Results The experimental results demonstrate that the average difference in the Bland-Altman plot for the non-contact heart rate detection model is ﹣0.497 bpm,with 95.3%of the error values falling within the 95%consistency interval.The non-contact psychological detection model achieved an accuracy rate of over 80%in identifying stress,anxiety,and depression,and an accuracy rate of over 70%in identifying fatigue and anger.Following emotion adjustment,the stress levels of the subjects significantly improved(P?

Objective To analyze the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Methods Original data of GSE145989 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database as the training set, and the GSE172222 and GSE9634 datasets were used as the validation sets, and the differentially-expressed genes (DEG) were identified. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and the core genes were screened, and the diagnostic values of these core genes and the immune infiltration levels of immune cells were evaluated. The ceRNA network was constructed and validated. The targeted drugs based on ceRNA network were assessed. Results A total of 179 DEG were identified, including 61 down-regulated and 118 up-regulated genes. GO analysis showed that DEGs were associated with multiple biological processes, such as cell migration, differentiation and regulation, etc. They were correlated with cell components, such as vesicle membrane, serosa and membrane raft, etc. They were also associated with multiple molecular functions, such as chemokine receptor, G protein-coupled receptor, immune receptor activity and antigen binding, etc. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that DEG were involved in tumor necrosis factor (TNF), Wnt, interleukin (IL)-17 and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathways, etc. PPI network suggested that CD8A, IL2RG, STAT1, CD3G and SYK were the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. The ceRNA network prompted that miR-146a-3p, miR-28-5p and miR-593-3p were related to the expression level of CD3G. The miR-149-3p, miR-342-5p, miR-873-5p and miR-491-5p were correlated with the expression level of IL-2RG. The miR-194-3p, miR-512-3p, miR-377-3p and miR-590-3p were associated with the expression level of SYK. The miR-590-3p and miR-875-3p were related to the expression level of CD8A. The miR-143-5p, miR-1231, miR-590-3p and miR-875-3p were associated with the expression level of STAT1. There were 13 targeted drugs for CD3G, 4 targeted drugs for IL-2RG, 28 targeted drugs for SYK and 3 targeted drugs for lncRNA MUC2. No targeted drugs were identified for CD8A, STAT1 and other ceRNA network genes. Conclusions CD8A, IL2RG, STAT1, CD3G and SYK are the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. The research and analysis of these core genes probably contribute to the diagnosis of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and providing novel research ideas and therapeutic targets.
