Objective To analyze the relationship between abnormal expression of serum neurohemoglobin(NGB)and myelin basic protein(MBP)and the cerebral neurodevelopment of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods A total of 89 preterm infants with HIE admitted in the hospital between January 2023 and March 2024 were selected as the observation group,and 60 preterm infants without HIE during the same period were selected as the control group.Serum levels of MBP,NGB and secretagogues in two groups were detected,and the neonates amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was evaluated.The neurological function of neonates was evaluated using 20 items of Neonatal Behavioral Neurological As-sessment(NBNA).The correlation test and diagnostic value were evaluated using Spearman method and re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue in the ob-servation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencepha-logram score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum MBP,NGB and secretagogue levels in the mild,moderate,and severe groups increased sequentially(P<0.05),NBNA score and amplitude integration e-lectroencephalogram score decreased sequentially(P<0.05).The levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue were the risk factors affecting NBNA score(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was a protective factor affecting NBNA score(P<0.05).The area under the curve of NGB and MBP in diag-nosing HIE was greater than 0.8,which had high application value.Conclusion Serum NGB and MBP levels are closely related to the severity of HIE,and have certain connection with NBNA score.Elevated levels of NGB and MBP in neonates with HIE may be related to the body's stress response to nerve damage,which could reflect to some extent the brain nerve function damage in with HIE.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of COL5A2 in bladder cancer tissues,and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis. Methods A total of 144 patients with bladder cancer were enrolled in this study. Real-time fluorescence reverse transcription and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of COL5A2 at levels of mRNA and protein in bladder cancer tissues and normal bladder tissues. The relationship between COL5A2 expression and clinico-pathological features and prognosis was analyzed. Results The expression of COL5A2 mRNA in the bladder cancer group was higher than that in the paracancerous group(P<0. 05). The positive rate of COL5A2 in the bladder cancer group was higher than that in the normal bladder tissues(P<0. 05). The expression of COL5A2 protein was not correlated with age( P>0. 05),positively associated with the TMN stage,pathological grade,tumor maximum diameter(≥5 cm),depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,lymphatic vas-cular infiltration,and recurrence;the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The 3-year survival rate and survival time in the COL5A2 negative group were significantly higher than those in the COL5A2 positive group(P<0. 05). The higher TMN stage,the higher pathological stage,the maximum diameter of the tumor(≥5 cm),the deeper infiltration depth,lymph node metastasis,lymphat-ic vascular infiltration,recurrence,the higher positive expression rate of COL5A2 protein. Conclusion COL5A2 is highly expressed in the bladder cancer tissues, which promotes the development of bladder cancer. Bladder cancer patients with low expression of COL5A2 can obtain a good prognosis.

Objective To study the effect of paeonol (PAE) and panax notoginseny saponins (PNS) on the expressions of collagenⅠandⅢprotein and mRNA in rats with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and to explore the molecular mecha?nism of improving myocardial fibrosis. Methods The rat model of AMI was made using the left anterior descending coro?nary branch ligation.According to the intervention rats were divided into model group, PAE (8 mg/kg) group, PNS (40 mg/kg) group, PAE (4 mg/kg)+PNS (20 mg/kg) group, PAE (8 mg/kg)+PNS (40 mg/kg) group and captopril positive control group (10 mg/kg). Sham operation group, only wear line without ligation. The left ventricular mass index (LVMI) was detected after treatment for 28 d. Masson staining was used to observe changes of myocardial fibrosis. Western blot assay and RT-PCR technique were used to detect protein and mRNA expression levels of collagenⅠandⅢ. Results The values of LVMI were increased in model group compared with those of sham operation group and treatment groups. Compared with PAE group and PNS group, values of LVMI were significantly decreased in PAE (4 mg/kg)+PNS (20 mg/kg) group and PAE (8 mg/kg)+PNS (40 mg/kg) group. There was a more significant decrease in formula high dose group (P < 0.01). The model group showed pathological change. There were different degrees of improvement in pathological structure in all treatment groups, more sig?nificant improvement was found in formula low dose group, formula high dose group and captopril positive control group. There were different degrees of increase in expressions of collagenⅠandⅢprotein and mRNA in model group compared with those of sham operation group and treatment groups. Compared with PAE group and PNS group, the protein and mRNA expression levels of collagenⅠandⅢwere significantly decreased in formula low dose group and formula high dose group,more significant decreased was found in formula high dose group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compound of paeonol and PNS can improve myocardial fibrosis in myocardial infarction rats, which may be related with reduced expressions of collagenⅠandⅢprotein and mRNA.
