Objective: To investigate the expression of ribosomal protein L26 ( RPL26) in gastric cancer cells (GC) and its effect on cell apoptosis and proliferation . Methods: The expression of RPL26 in GES-1 and GC cell lines was detected by Western blot. GC cell line HGC-27 was used to construct RPL26 overexpression cell line , and GC cell lines HGC-27 and AGS cells were used to construct RPL26 knockdown cell line . The overexpression and knockdown efficiency of RPL26 were detected by Western blot. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) , colony formation assay and Transwell assay were used to detect the effects of the overexpression and knockdown of RPL26 on the pro- liferation and migration of GC cells . Western blot was used to detect the expression of Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) / protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway related factors PI3K , AKT , phosphorylated phosphatidylinosi- tol-3-kinase (p-PI3K) , phosphorylated protein kinase B ( p-AKT) and downstream factors B-Cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) , Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax) and Cyclin A , G1 /S-specific Cyclin D1(Cyclin D1) , Cyclin-depend- ent kinases (CDK)4 and CDK2 in overexpression and knockdown of RPL26 stably transfected cell lines . Results: Compared with GES-1 , RPL26 was highly expressed in HGC-27 cells ( tHGC-27 = 4. 97 ; P < 0. 01) and elevated in AGS , but the difference was not statistically significant. In HGC-27 and AGS cells , CCK-8 and colony formation assays showed that the proliferation ability of cells decreased after the knockdown of RPL26. Transwell assay showed that the migration ability of cells decreased after the knockdown of RPL26. Western blot showed that Bcl-2 expression was decreased in HGC-27 , AGS cells after the knockdown of RPL26 ( tHGC-27 = 11 . 50 , tAGS = 4. 77 ; P < 0. 001 , P < 0. 01) , and Bax expression increased ( tHGC-27 = 9. 63 , tAGS = 4. 05 ; P < 0. 001 , P < 0. 05) . In HGC-27 cells , the ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT significantly decreased after the knockdown of RPL26 ( tp-PI3K/PI3K = 3 . 86 , tp-AKT/AKT = 8. 29 ; P < 0. 05 , P < 0. 01) . Cyclin A , Cyclin D1 , CDK4 , CDK2 protein expressions de- creased ( t = 9. 61 , 5 . 10 , 11 . 64 , 7. 81 ; P < 0. 01 or P < 0. 001) , while the overexpression of RPL26 in HGC-27 cells showed the opposite trend . Conclusion The knockdown of RPL26 may arrest the cell cycle in G1 /S phase by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway , thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis .

Objective To evaluate carotid sinus block (CAS) in preventing the low hemodynamic state in the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting (CAS).Method A prospective single-center randomized controlled study was conducted on 172 patients with internal carotid artery stenosis receiving CAS from May 2015 to May 2018.Patients were randomly divided into group A treated with local anesthesia of the carotid artery sinus of the trouble side under the guidance of ultrasound preoperatively and group B without local block anesthesia.The carotid artery stenosis rate,the maximum intraoperative reduction of blood pressure and heart rate,the use of atropine and vasopressor were monitored and compared between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in preoperative general data,degree of stenosis,plaque nature,degree of residual stenosis (P ＞ 0.05).The maximum reduction of intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate in group A was significantly lower than that in group B,and the number and dose of intraoperative atropine were smaller than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05).The number of postoperative patients with low hemodynamic status in group A and the time period of vasopressor use were significantly less than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Preoperative carotid sinus block anesthesia is safe and effective in preventing low hemodynamic status in perioperative period of CAS.

Objective: To compare the clinical features, ultrasonic imaging manifestations and therapeutic evaluations between elderly onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) and EORA with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Eighty-eight patients with rheumatoid arthritis were divided into two groups: group EORA (n=36) and group EORA+OA (n=52). The onset age of all patients was 60 years or older. General conditions, joint involvement distribution, ultrasonic manifestations and disease activity scores (DAS28-3) of patients in the two groups were analyzed. The χ² test/Fisher's exact probability test and the Student's t test/Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze data. Results: There was no significant difference in the proportion of male and female patients and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) between the two groups (P>0.05). The onset age of patients in group EORA+OA [(68±4) years old] was higher than that in group EORA [(65±4) years old], and the difference was statistically significant (t=-3.465, P=0.001). Duration of the disease and body mass index in group EORA+OA were significantly higher respectively than those in group EORA. Joint involvement in the two groups was mainly found in shoulder, wrist, Metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP)2, MCP3, proximal inter-phalangeal joint (PIP)2, PIP3, PIP4, and knee joint (34.7%-86.5%). The percentage of MCP2[36.5%(38/104), 70.8%(51/72); χ²=20.02, P<0.01], MCP3[33.7%(35/104), 59.7%(43/72); χ²=11.72, P=0.001], MCP4[4.8%(5/104), 22.2%(16/72); χ²=12.28, P<0.01], PIP2[69.2%(72/104), 83.3%(60/72); χ²=4.51, P=0.034] and PIP3[53.8%(56/104), 70.8%(51/72); χ²=5.15, P=0.023] in the EORA+OA group was lower while the percentage of MCP1, DIP 2, DIP3, DIP4 and knee joints were higher than that in the EORA group (P<0.05). In group EORA+OA, the synovial thickness of the wrist joints [(4.2±0.5) mm] and knee joints [(7.7±0.8) mm] were significantly thicker than those in group EORA [(3.2±0.9) mm; (6.3±0.8) mm, t=-5.82, P<0.01; t=-7.22, P<0.01]; The proportion (70.0%) of level 2 and 3 of patients' wrist joint synovium pannus blood flow and knee joint synovium pannus in group EORA+OA were increased than group EORA (51.9%; 52.3%), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ²=4.64, P=0.031; χ²=4.43, P=0.035). There was no significant difference in DAS28-3 scores between the two groups before patients received treatment. After 2 weeks and 12 weeks of glucocorticoid treatment, DAS28-3 scores in group EORA [3.62(2.88, 4.03); 2.35(2.26, 2.62) points] were significantly lower than group EORA+OA [5.01(4.68, 5.26); 3.38(2.28, 3.83) points] (Z=-7.766, P<0.01; Z=-3.461, P<0.01). Conclusion Compared with patients of EORA alone, patients of EORA with OA have more obvious joint symptoms, MCP1, DIP and knee joint are susceptible to the co-involvement among them, longer duration of disease, and were prone to synovial hyperplasia and pannus flow formation. The therapeutic effects of glucocorticoid on joint inflammation in patients of EORA alone are superior to those patients of EORA with OA.

Objective Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, the fibrosis score (i.e., the combined extent of reticulation and honeycombing) is associated with worse survival. The aim of this study was to identify high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) patterns and patient characteristics that could predict poor prognosis in rheumatoid arthritis-related ILD (RA-ILD). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 130 patients with newly diagnosed RA-ILD from 2011 to 2017 at Shanxi People's Hospital. The Pearson correlation analysis was used for the correlation between the fibrosis score and the worse survival of RA-ILD, and Using Cox regression analysis was used to identify the associations with mortality. A value of P less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results During a median follow-up of 65 months, 32/130 (24.6％) patients died. Univariate analysis identified 6 significant poor prognostic factors: lower baseline ％ predicted forced vital capacity [HR=0.97, 95％CI(0.94, 0.99);P=0.008], total interstitial disease score [HR=1.06, 95％CI(1.03, 1.08);P<0.01], reticulation score [HR=1.07, 95％CI (1.04, 1.09); P<0.01], traction bronchiectasis score [HR=2.04, 95％CI (1.21, 3.40);P=0.008], fibrosis score [HR=1.07, 95％CI (1.01, 1.13);P<0.01], and definite UIP pattern [HR=4.18, 95％CI (1.40, 12.51); P=0.010]. Fibrosis score remained to be an independent significant poor prognostic factor of survival on bivariate analysis [HR=8.136, 95％CI (2.87, 28.35); P=0.001]. Patients with a fibrosis score>20％ had high mortality. Conclusion This study has shown that fibrosis score is strongly associated with worse survival in RA-ILD, and patients with fibrosis score>20％ have a 8.136-fold increased risk of mortality.

The risk factors,especially laboratory indicators,of prognosis after acute kidney injury (AKI) remain unclear.We conducted a retrospective survey of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 1,2012 to December 31,2012 according to the AKI diagnosis standard issued by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes.The epidemiological features and factors influencing hospital mortality and renal function recovery were evaluated through logistic regression analysis.Among 77 662 cases of hospitalized patients,1387 suffered from AKI.The incidence rate and mortality of AKI were 1.79％ and 14.56％,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that high AKI stage,age greater than 80 years,neoplastic disease,low cardiac output,increased white blood cell count,and decreased platelet count and serum albumin levels were the risk factors affecting the mortality of AKI patients.Conversely,body mass index between 28 and 34.9 was a protective factor.Increased AKI stage,tumor disease,post-cardiopulmonary resuscitation,and RRT were the risk factors of renal function recovery upon discharge.In addition to traditional risk factors,white blood cell count,platelet count,albumin,and BMI were the predictors of the mortality of AKI patients.No laboratory indicators were found to be the risk factors of renal function recovery in AKI patients.

Objective To optimize the extraction process for the polysaccharide from fermented Cordyceps Sinensis powder with response surface methodology.Methods We selected the factors and levels on the basis of single factor experiment,and then designed the experiment with 3 factors and 3 levels based on the principle of Box-Behnken's design.Results The effect of the factors of extraction temperature,time and solid-liquid ratio on extraction ratio was in decreasing sequence.The optimal extraction technology obtained through the classical analysis was as follows:extraction temperature at 95 ℃,the ratio of solid to liquid being 1 ∶ 21,and extraction for 73 min.Under this condition the theoretical extraction rate was 4.31％ and the actual extraction rate was (4.20 ± 0.1)％.Conclusion The obtained values agree with the predicted values of the mathematic models,and the Box-Behnken experimental design is suitable for optimizing the extraction of the polysaccharide from fermented Cordyceps Sinensis powder.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of auricular point sticking with magnetic bead in treating insomnia in hepatocirrhosis patients. Method Ninety patients with hepatocirrhosis complicated with insomnia were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 45 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by auricular point sticking with magnetic bead, while the control group was by auricular point sticking with medical adhesive tape. After successive 2-week treatments, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Evaluation Criteria of Therapeutic Efficacy for Mental Disorders were observed for evaluating the treatment result. Result The ISI was significantly improved in the treatment group after intervention (P<0.05), and the improvement was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 86.7% in the treatment group versus 60.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion Auricular point sticking with magnetic bead is easy-to-operate and can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating insomnia of hepatocirrhosis patients.

Employing resveratrol as template molecule, acrylamide as functional monomer and ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate as cross-linkers, a core-shell resveratrol imprinted microspheres was prepared based on the surface of SiO_2 with a surface imprinting technique.The molecularly imprinted microsphere was characterized by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and the results showed that the surface grafting of molecularly imprinted polymer-shell particle on SiO_2 was successful and the particles were evenly distributed.High performance liquid chromatography was also used to investigate the imprinted microsphere adsorption per formance, and the results showed that the imprinted microsphere exhibited good recognition performance.The maximum adsorption capacities were Q_(maxl)=9.087 mg/g and Q_(max2)= 13.80 mg/g by the model of Scatchard analysis.The imprinted micospheres was applied to separate resveratrol from the extraction of rhizoma polygoni cuspidate successfully.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of community-based rehabilitation simple technique on motor function, balance function of stroke.Methods48 stroke patients from Guangwai Hospital in Beijing were divided into two groups: test group(n=26) and control group(n=22). The test group received community-based rehabilitation simple technique combining with routine therapy, while the control group only received routine therapy. All patients were assessed with the scale of motor function (Fugl-Meyer Assessment, FMA) and Fugl-Meyer Balance Assessment (FMA-B) before, 1 month, and 3 months after treatment respectively.ResultsThere were no significant difference between two groups in FMA and FMA-B (P>0-05) before and 1 month after treatment. The scores of FMA and FMA-B improved significantly (P<0-05) 3 months after treatment.ConclusionCommunity-based rehabilitation simple technique is effective to improve motor function and balance function of stroke patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of lifestyle intervention on high-risk individuals for hypertension. MethodsOne hundred and four prehypertensive adults who received physical examination during October 2005 and October 2007 and showed at least 2 hypertension risk factors were randomly assigned to the experimental or control group.A muhicomponent behavioral intervention,including health education(e.g.awareness of disease),metary gmdance,physical.exercise,and psychologtcat improvement,Was conducted for 2 years.The awareness of disease,blood pressure,bedy weight,and the change of risk factors were compared.ResultsAt 2 years,the awareness of disease in the experimental group wag significantly improved,and the blood pressure,body weight,and risk factors were obviously reduced.Although the awareness of disease and the risk factors in the control group were improved,the blood pressure and body weight were increased.The difference in average systolic blood pressure,average diastolic blood pressure,body weight,and the awareness of disease between the two groups were 13 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),7.9 nlnl Hg,3.7 kg,and 37.6%,respectively(all P<0.05).ConclusionThe lifestyle intervention among high-risk individuals for hypertension could effectively reduce blood pressure and body weight. Improved lifestyle would result in less risk factors.
