Objective To explore the effect of tilianin combined with aerobic training on cognitive function of rats with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods Rats were divided into 7 groups:blank group,model group,control group,low dose experimental group,medium dose experimental group,high dose experimental group and combination group,12 rats in each group.The rats in blank group were sham operated,and other groups were AD model rats established by bilateral hippocampal injection of amyloid-beta peptide 1-42(A(31-42).One week after modeling,the rats in control group and combination group were trained on the treadmill,and the rats in other groups were fed quietly.The rats in blank group,model group and control group were given 0.5%carboxymethyl cellulose sodium(CMC)2 mL.The rats in low,medium and high dose experimental groups were given intragastric administration of 5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1·d-1tilianin 2 mL.The rats in combined group were given 20 mg·kg-1·d-1 tilianin 2 mL by gavage.The drug was given for 6 weeks.Cognitive function was evaluated by Morris water maze test.The level of Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme protein 1(BACE1)mRNA in hippocampus was measured by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.The phosphorylation level of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)p65 in hippocampus was detected by Western blot.Results The escape latencies of blank group,model group,control group,low dose experimental group,medium dose experimental group,high dose experimental group and combination group were(20.16±2.06),(60.45±6.55),(46.52±2.90),(42.80±3.15),(41.19±2.54),(35.66±2.82)and(28.49±1.97)s;the relative expression of BACE1 mRNA were 1.00±0.06,7.88±0.49,6.02±0.38,4.96±0.57,3.01±0.21,1.98±0.17 and 1.48±0.11;the relative phosphorylation levels of NF-κB p65 were 0.11±0.03,1.46±0.11,0.89±0.10,0.71±0.06,0.37±0.05,0.29±0.02 and 0.15±0.01.Compared between model group and blank group,comparison between low,medium,high dose experimental group and model group,comparison between combination group and high dose experimental group all showed statistically significant differences(all P<0.05).Conclusion Tilianin combined with aerobic training can improve the cognitive function of AD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of inflammation mediated by NF-κB signal pathway.

【Objective】 To prepare liposomes encapsulate hemoglobin and paclitaxel(LEHP)to improve tumor hypoxia resistance. 【Methods】 LEHP were prepared by thin-film method, and the particle size, Zeta potential and polydispersity were investigated by nanoparticle size analyzer, and encapsulation efficiency was investigated by high performance liquid chromatography, and the interaction between the liposomes and tumor cells was evaluated by in vitro cell experiments. 【Results】 The optimal preparation conditions of LEHP was as follows: total phospholipid 36 mM, DPPC∶Dope∶cholesterol molar ratio 7∶2∶1, paclitaxel 3 mg, hydrated with 3 mg·mL-1 Hb-PBS for 30 min at room temperature; The average particle size was (189.17±8.22) nm, polydispersity was 0.14±0.023, paclitaxel encapsulation efficiency was (58.27±2.55)%, hemoglobin content was (0.63±0.05) mg·mL-1. In vitro cell experiments, the killing effect of LEHP was about 1.5 times that of LEP, about 1.2 times that of LEP, and ROS production was about 1.8 times that of LEP. 【Conclusion】 The preparation conditions of LEHP was optimized, and cell experiments showed that LEHP can promote tumor cell apoptosis by improving hypoxia and increasing ROS production, which is expected to provide a safe and effective new method for drug resistance caused by tumor hypoxia.

Aim To study the neuroprotective effects of Herba siegesbeckiae extract on cerebral ischemia/ reperfusion rats and its mechanism. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into model group, low, middle and high dose groups of Herba siegesbeckiae, and Sham operation group, and the drug was given continuously for seven days. The degree of neurologic impairment was evaluated by mNSS, and the infarct volume was measured by MRI. The number of Nissl-posi- tive cells was detected by Nissl staining, and the apop- tosis was accessed by Tunel staining. Furthermore, the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and NeuN was observed by Western blot, and the expression of NeuN was detected by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of IL- 1β, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA was performed by RT- qPCR. Results The mNSS score and the volume of ischemic cerebral infarction in the model group were significantly increased, and Herba siegesbeckiae extract treatment significantly decreased the mNSS score and infarct volume (P<0.05, P<0.01). Herba siegesbeckiae extract could increase the number of Nissl-pos- itive cells and the expression of NeuN (P<0.01), and reduce the number of Tunel-positive cells (P<0.01). Western blot showed that Herba siegesbeckiae extract inhibited the expression of Bax, increased Bcl-2 and NeuN in ischemic brain tissue (P<0.01). RT-qPCR showed that Herba siegesbeckiae extract inhibited the expression of IL-1 β, TNF-α and IL-6 mRNA in the is-chemic brain tissue (P<0.01). Conclusions Herba siegesbeckiae extract can reduce the cerebral infarction volume, improve the neurological function damage, inhibit the apoptosis of nerve cells and the expression of inflammatory factors and promote the expression of NeuN, there by exerting protective effects on MCAO rats.

Objective This study was to develop a"Spleen Deficiency Certificate Scale for County Residents"and test its reliability.It was then developed as an objective tool for Chinese medicine evidence and symptoms for the prevention and control of chronic diseases among county residents.Methods The scale was compiled based on the team's previous foundation.The reliability of the scale was evaluated using internal consistency reliability and split-half reliability,while its validity was evaluated using structural validity,content validity,calibration validity,and discriminant validity.Results The study included 213 adults from Lanxi,of whom 155 were tested for intestinal flora.Seven scale entries were identified:Fatigue,fear of cold,bland mouth,loss of appetite,diarrhea,weak bowel movements,and tooth-marked tongue.In the reliability test,Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.828 and McDonald's ω coefficient was 0.825.The"stomach pain"and"bloating"entries did not meet the inclusion requirements and were recommended to be deleted.The Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.839.The exploratory factor analysis of the two common factors explained 61.6%of the cumulative variance.The calibration validity indicated that the ratio of salivary amylase activity before and after acid stimulation was 0.826±0.253 in the group with spleen deficiency.Significant differences(P<0.05)in the genera Dialister,Shigella,Leuconostoc,Photobacterium,Trabulsiella,and Parvimonas between the spleen deficiency group and the non-spleen deficiency group.Conclusion The Spleen Deficiency Scale for County Residents demonstrates good reliability and validity.

Objective To explore the effect of muscle energy technique(MET)on dynamic posture control and lumbar neuromuscu-lar function in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods From March to June,2022,30 college students with non-specific low back pain from Shandong Sport Universi-ty were randomly divided into control group(n=15)and intervention group(n=15).The control group received health education,and the intervention group received MET,for four weeks.They were assessed with Visual Ana-logue Scale(VAS)of pain,Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),Y-balance test and trunk flexion-relaxation test be-fore and after intervention. Results VAS scores decreased in both groups after intervention(|t|>2.449,P<0.05),and it was less in the intervention group than in the control group(t=-5.068,P<0.001);while ODI score decreased in the intervention group(t=4.785,P<0.001),and it was less in the intervention group than in the control group(t=-2.895,P=0.007);the performance of Y-balance test increased(t=-3.662,P=0.003)in the intervention group,as well as flexion-re-laxation ratio of multifidus(t=-2.460,P=0.029). Conclusion MET is effective on alleviating pain and lumbar dysfunction,improving dynamic posture control and en-hancing the function of the multifidus during flexion in patients with non-specific low back pain.
