OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of Setaria italica extract on improving insomnia model mice and to explore its potential mechanisms. METHODS The mice were randomly assigned into blank group， model group， positive control group （diazepam， 2.6 mg/kg）， and S. italica extract low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （1.2， 2.4， 4.8 g/kg）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the blank group， all other groups received intraperitoneal injection of para-chlorophenylalanine （PCPA） to establish the insomnia model. After modeling， the blank group and model group were given a constant volume of normal saline intragastrically， and administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically， with a volume of 0.01 mL/g， once a day， for 7 consecutive days. After the administration， the open-field test was conducted to observe the praxiological changes of mice， and to determine the levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid （5-HTAA） in the hippocampal tissue， as well as the contents of 5-HT， brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， interleukin-2 （IL-2）， IL-6， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl- 2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） in the serum. The expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/nuclear factor- κB （PI3K/Akt/NF-κB） signaling pathway related protein was determined in the hippocampus of mice. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the total exercise time of mice in S. italica extract high-dose group was significantly prolonged， but the total rest time was significantly shortened （P＜0.01）； the number of standing times and modification times were significantly reduced （P＜ 0.01）. The contents of 5-HT， BDNF， and Bcl-2 in serum， and Bcl-2/Bax were significantly increased， while the contents of IL-2， IL-6， and Bax were significantly reduced （P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01）. The content of 5-HTAA in the hippocampal tissue and 202104010910029）；the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt proteins were increased significantly， while the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 protein was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS High-dose of S. italica extract demonstrates significant therapeutic effects on insomnia in mice， and the mechanism of which may be associated with the regulation of PI3K/Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objectives:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of typical pharmaceutical smoking cessation intervention strategies in China in the context of primary cancer prevention.Methods:Markov cohort simulation models were established to simulate the burden of 12 smoking caused cancer, including lung cancer, oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia. Taking incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) as the main indicator, the model sets one year as the cycling period for 50 periods and simulates the cohort of 10 000 thirty-five-year-old current smokers with various smoking cessation strategies. To ensure the robustness of conclusion, univariate sensitivity analysis, probability sensitivity analysis, and age-group sensitivity analysis were conducted.Results:The results showed that varenicline intervention was the most cost-effective intervention. Compared to the next most effective option, incremental cost of each additional quality-adjusted life year is 11 140.28 yuan, which is below the threshold of willingness to pay (1 year GDP per capita). The value of ICER increased as the increasing age group of adopting intervention, but neither exceeded the threshold of willingness to pay. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the value of discount rate, the hazard ratio and cost of intervention strategy had a greater impact on the result of ICER.Conclusion:In China, the use of varenicline to quit smoking is highly cost effective in the context of cancer primary prevention, especially for younger smokers.

Objective To investigate the role of RNA-binding motif protein X-linked(RBMX)in regulating the proliferation,migration,invasion and glycolysis in human bladder cancer cells.Methods A lentivirus vectors system and RNA interference technique were used to construct bladder cancer 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown,respectively,and successful cell modeling was verified using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Proliferation and colony forming ability of the cells were evaluated using EdU assay and colony-forming assay,and cell migration and invasion abilities were determined using Transwell experiment.The expressions of glycolysis-related proteins M1 pyruvate kinase(PKM1)and M2 pyruvate kinase(PKM2)were detected using Western blotting.The effects of RBMX overexpression and knockdown on glycolysis in the bladder cancer cells were assessed using glucose and lactic acid detection kits.Results RT-qPCR and Western blotting confirmed successful construction of 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown.RBMX overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Western blotting results showed that RBMX overexpression increased the expression of PKM1 and decreased the expression of PKM2,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Glucose consumption and lactate production levels were significantly lowered in the cells with RBMX overexpression(P<0.05)but increased significantly following RBMX knockdown(P<0.05).Conclusion RBMX overexpression inhibits bladder cancer progression and lowers glycolysis level in bladder cancer cells by downregulating PKM2 expression,suggesting the potential of RBMX as a molecular target for diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Objective: To investigate the effect of different turnover intervals in preventing stress injury to patients in emergency room. Methods: The 200 eligible patients from July 2016 to July 2017 were divided into 4 groups by random number table method, 50 patients per group, named as the conventional group, test group 1, test group 2 and test group 3. Turning frequency was used for 2.0 h in the conventional group, and 2.5 h, 3.0 h and 3.5 h in the first, second and third groups, respectively. The average body pressure of the shoulder blade, left and right lateral ankle and sacral tail between the four groups at different turning time, the incidence of stress injuries, the comprehensive satisfaction of patients with turn-over nursing were compared. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the body pressure value of the main compression site between the four groups (P>0.05), and the incidence of stress injury was 2.0% (1/50), 2.0% (1/50), 2.0% (1/50), and 4.0% (2/50), respectively (P>0.05). The comprehensive satisfaction degree of the patients in the four groups was 71.0%(71/100), 75.0%(81/108), 79.8% (83/104), and 86.6% (97/112), respectively, with statistically significant differences (χ²=8.517, P< 0.05). For each of the two groups, only the general group and the experimental group showed statistically significant differences in the comprehensive satisfaction degree of the patients in the three groups (χ²=7.824, P< 0.01). Conclusions It shows that the 3.5 h turning-over interval can effectively prevent stress injuries, improve patient satisfaction, and reduce the workload of nursing staff without affecting patient treatment, nursing, and stress injury prevention.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between alcohol drinking and all-cause death in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS: Between January, 2010 and July, 2018, consecutive patients with first-episode ischemic stroke admitted in the West China Hospital, Sichuan University were enrolled, and all the patients were followed up every 3 months.Chi-square test was used to compare the differences in the baseline characteristics between the pre-stroke drinkers and the nondrinkers.The Cox regression model was used to analyze the effects of drinking status, drinking years, drinking frequency, average single alcohol intake before stroke and drinking status during the follow-up period on the mortality of patients after discharge. RESULTS: A total of 855 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, and deaths occurred in 140 of these patients.Chi-square test showed significant differences in gender ( < 0.001), weekly physical exercise time (=0.035), smoking ( < 0.001), and heart disease ( < 0.001) between the pre-stroke drinkers and nondrinkers.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that drinking during the follow-up period (=0.001), drinking for less than 28 years before stroke (=0.035) and a moderate drinking frequency (5 to 20 times per month for males and 4 to 9 times per month for females; =0.030) were associated with a lowered risk of death after discharge.No significant effects of pre-stroke drinking status or average single alcohol intake were found on death after ischemic stroke. CONCLUSIONS The drinking years and drinking frequency before stroke and drinking status during the follow-up period are related to the all-cause mortality in patients with ischemic stroke.Investigations of the more specific variables of drinking behaviors during the follow-up period are needed to further clarify the association between drinking and death after ischemic stroke.

Objective To evaluate the geometric and dosimetric accuracy of autosegmentation software for contouring the organ-at-risk ( OAR) of esophageal cancer, and discuss its clinical feasibility. Methods A total of 10 patients were enrolled, and single and multi-template were adopted respectively to auto-delineate corresponding OARs on target CT images based on image registration. The geometric consistency including volume difference (ΔV) , dice similarity ( DSC) and position difference (Δx, Δy,Δz) between the two autosegmentation method and manual were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank test. And the correlation between DSC and OAR volume was analyzed. In addition, to evaluate the clinical feasibility of autosegmentation, the dose distributions of all OARs were compared using Friedman test. Results The average DSC of all OARs obtained by single and multi-template were 0.82 ± 0.17 and 0.92 ± 0.54, respectively, with statistically significant difference (Z= -2.803- -2.497, P<0.05). A positive correlation between DSC of the autosegmentation and OAR volume was found by spearman analysis, and the single-template was not good enough for the spinal cord with smaller volume. The positional deviations of multi-template group were less than 0.5 cm in three directions, which were better than single-template group. The main dosimetric indexes of single-template and multiple-template were similar to manual coutours. V20 of whole lung were 23.2％, 22.4％ and 22.1％, Dmeanof whole lung were (11.3 ±4.0), (11.1 ±4.5) and (11.0 ±4.3) Gy, Dmaxof spinal cord were (40.3 ±4.8), (38.2 ±6.7) and (39.4 ± 5.3) Gy, respectively, and V30 of heart were 16.0％, 15.8％ and 15.5％, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the three methods (P>0.05), and all of the dosimetric indexes were in line with the requirements of clinical dose limits. Conclusions The autosegmentation software can achieve satisfactory precision for the OARs of the esophageal cancer patients, and the multi-template method is better than the single-template, which is more suitable for clinical application.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference among plans designed by 4-field,6-field TomoDirect and TomoHelical techniques in Tomotherapy system for left-breast cancer patients with radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery.Method A total of 16 patients with left-breast cancer following breast-conserving surgery and intensity-modulated radiation therapy were enrolled in this retrospective study.The 4-field TomoDirect (TD4),6-field TomoDirect (TD6),and TomoHelical (TH) techniques were applied to design simulation plans in tomotherapy system for each patient,respectively.The differences of dose distribution and treatment parameters were analyzed in this study.Results Three plans all met the clinical requirement.Thereinto,TD4 was superior to TH in the dose limitation of organs at risk (OARs),especially the max dose of cord and right-breast,thc 5 Gy radiation volume of lung,and the mean dose of heart(F =595.60,129.24,60.44,65.37,P ＜ 0.05),but inferior to TH in dose homogeneity (HI) and conformity (CI) (F =2.78,60.93,P ＜ 0.05).However,TD6 improved TD4's HI and CI when delivered the lower OARs dose compared to TH.Meanwhile,the number of monitor units was less in TD technique and reduced the treatment times (F =24.89,3.75,P ＜ O.05).Conclusions For the radiotherapy of left-breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery,TD6 technique appeared to be superior,with the lower radiation dose of OARs compared to TH technique,and the better target's HI and CI in comparison with TD4 technique,especially in patients with early stage breast cancer.

Objective To simulate the possible systematic delivery errors introduced by monitor units ( MU) and multi-leaf collimator ( MLC) in radiotherapy plans for nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) , and to analyze the dosimetric sensitivity of static intensity-modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT ) and volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT) with these errors. Methods Five IMRT plans were replanned using VMAT modality with the same physical parameters, and then MU errors of 125%, 250%, and 5. 00% were introduced into IMRT and VMAT plans. Meanwhile, to simulate leaf position errors during delivery, MLC position errors (025 mm, 050 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm) were introduced by modifying the original plan documents. The types of MLC errors were as follows:( 1) the MLC banks moved in the same direction;( 2) the MLC banks moved in opposing directions ( expand or contract the MLC gaps ) . The differences in dosimetric sensitivity introduced by MU and MLC errors between IMRT and VMAT plans for NPC were calculated by linear regression analysis. Results With the increase in MU errors, the doses to target and organs at risk ( OARs) of IMRT and VMAT plans increased in a linear way, and met R2=0992-1000( P<005) . For MLC errors, the average dosimetric sensitivity for target and OARs of IMRT and VMAT were-026%/mm and-065%/mm in case of offset errors, 487%/mm and 868%/mm in case of expansion errors, and -604%/mm and -988%/mm in case of indentation errors. In addition, the dosimetric sensitivity with the three types of MLC errors was greater for VMAT plan than for IMRT plan. ConclusionsMU and MLC errors have a significant effect on the dose distribution of IMRT, and particularly VMAT, for NPC. It is important to execute routine quality assurance of MLC to ensure accurate radiotherapy.
