Objective To explore the anti-depression mechanism of Kai-Xin-San(KXS)via regulation of neurogenesis in hippocampus of depression-like mice.Methods The extracts of KXS were prepared and the anti-depression effects of KXS were evaluated by behavioral tests on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)induced depression-like mice.Evaluating depression-like behavior in CUMS mice through sucrose preference test,forced swimming test,tail suspension test,and other methods.Neurogenesis in hippocampus were determined by immunofluorescence assay.In addition,effects of KXS on regulating nestin expression and Wnt/b-catenin signaling pathway were explored by western blotting analysis.Amounts of cortisol,corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF),adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH),brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and nerve growth factor(NGF)were determined by ELISA tests.Mouse primary neural stem cells(NSC)was used to evaluate the effect of KXS on promoting its proliferation by immunofluorescence assay.In addition,effects of KXS on regulating nestin and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway were also explored by Western blotting analysis.Results KXS significantly ameliorated the depression-like behaviors in presence of increased sucrose preference rate and decreased immobile time of tail suspension and forced swimming.KXS significantly promoted the neurogenesis in the hippocampus and expressions of nestin,reduced the expressions of cortisol,CRF,ACTH,increased the expressions of BDNF,NGF,and regulated Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.KXS also promoted the proliferation of NSCs and expressions of nestin,enhanced the translocation of b-catenin into nucleus,and regulated the expressions of proteins of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Conclusion KXS promoted neurogenesis in hippocampus and regulated Wnt/β-catenin pathway,which might contribute to its antidepressant effect.

Objective To investigate the beneficial effect of Kai-Xin-San combined with fluoxetine in improving depression-like behaviors on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)induced depression model mice.Methods The present study aimed to assess the potential of Kai-Xin-San in combination with fluoxetine to ameliorate depression-like behaviors in a CUMS induced mouse depression model.Behavioral tests,such as the sucrose preference test were employed to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment.Additionally,the levels of suppressed stress factors were measured using the ELISA method.The morphology of hippocampal tissue was evaluated using the HE staining method,Nissl Staining and TUNEL staining methods.Furthermore,western blotting analysis was utilized to determine the expression levels of proteins such as Caspase-3,and Caspase-9.Results The co-administration of Kai-Xin-San and fluoxetine resulted in a significant increase in sucrose preference rate in model mice.This effect was comparable to that of fluoxetine alone at the standard clinical dose.Furthermore,the combination treatment up-regulated the levels of suppressed stress factors,reduced the apoptosis of hippocampus induced by depression and regulated the apoptosis signaling pathway in hippocampus.Conclusion The combination of Kai-Xin-San and fluoxetine has been shown to be an effective treatment for depression-like behavior in animal models,resulting in a reduction in the required clinical dosage of fluoxetine.This effect may be attributed to the up-regulation of neurotransmitter expression,inhibition of stress axis activation,and central nervous inflammation.

Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke, but the international multicenter clinical studies, which are mainly based on the degree of stenosis to guide endovascular treatment, have not obtained positive results. In recent years, the evaluation of ICAS has gradually transferred from traditional anatomy (degree of stenosis) to hemodynamics and plaque characteristics. This article reviews the application of MRI in the hemodynamic evaluation of ICAS.

With the development of our economy and the progress of science and technology,the comfort medicine of children in the perioperative period is gradually promoted.Comfort medicine not only eliminates the physical pain of children,but also avoids the permanent psychological trauma caused by oper-ation and anesthesia.The incidence of preoperative anxiety in children is higher than that in adults,which may have adverse effects on perioperative period and prognosis of children.The characteristics of parents of different children,such as parental anxiety level,parental education level,parental socioeconomic back-ground,family composition,ethnicity,language,and other factors will affect the preoperative anxiety level of children.Intervention measures such as parents'participation in guiding children's preparation for anesthe-sia,management of children's fasting and drinking,and presence at the induction of anesthesia can alleviate children's preoperative anxiety level.For children with disabilities,communication between parents and medical staff in the perioperative period and intervention management of children is important.Compared with the traditional preoperative preparation program,the internet-based family preoperative preparation plat-form provides a comprehensive,effective and personalized information guidance for the families of children,ensuring the comfortable perioperative medical treatment of children.

Methods A retrospective study was conducted, the 120 patients with severe HBV B and their historical data of having undergone treatment of artificial liver plasma bilirubin adsorption admitted to Department of Respiration of Mianyang Central Hospital from August 2015 to August 2017 were collected, and there were 68 cases in the cirrhotic group and 52 cases in the non-cirrhotic group. The indexes of liver function and coagulation function before and after the treatment of artificial liver plasma bilirubin adsorption were collected; the differences of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), glutamine transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), globulin (Glo), prothrombin time (PT), prothrombin activity (PTA), total bilirubin (TBil) and indirect bilirubin (IBil), total bile acid (TBA), etc were compared between cirrhotic group and the severe hepatitis B non-cirrhotic group. Results The levels of ALT, AST, ALP, LDH after artificial liver plasma bilirubin adsorption therapy were lower than those before the treatment [ALT (U/L): 138.8±26.2 vs. 993.4±185.2, AST (U/L): 121.7±119.9 vs. 798.7±226.8, ALP (U/L): 129.7±8.1 vs. 178.9±14.1, LDH (μmol·L-1·s-1·L-1): 4.50±0.32 vs. 8.15 ±1.75, all P < 0.05], PTA was higher than that before the treatment [(43.2±25.6)% vs. (30.0±16.1)%, P < 0.05]. After the treatment, the decline rate of ALP, TBil, and TBA of non-cirrhotic group was higher than those in cirrhotic group (ALP: 34.20% vs. 17.80%, TBil: 39.10% vs. 18.10%, TBA:30.70% vs. 5.00%, P < 0.05), the elevation rate of PTA in non-cirrhotic group was also higher than that in cirrhotic group (52.50% vs. 25.10%, P < 0.05). Conclusion Artificial liver plasma bilirubin adsorption therapy is effective for treatment of patients with severe HBV B, particularly the effect being good on the early severe viral HBV B non-cirrhotic group.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) combined with thermochemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC).Methods From June 2008 to June 2011,70 patients with LAPC were divided into radiotherapy group (30 patients) and combination group (40 patients).Radiotherapy used 3D-CRT with a 90％ to 95％ isodose curve,a single dose of 1.8 to 2.OGy,and total radiation dose 50 ～ 70 Gy.The combination group patients received simultaneous thermotherapy at 41.5 ～43.5 ℃ (1 h/fraction,twice a week for 6 times),and hyperthermia given simultaneously injected using arsenic trioxide 20 mg,recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor(rmhTNF) intravenous infusion of 10 million U,4 to 6 times,or 3D-CRT at the same time and the treatment given after gemcitabine(0.6 ～ 1.0 g/m2) on Days dl and 8 and cisplatin (DDP) (20 ～ 30 mg/m2) on Days d1-3 intravenous infusion,repeated every 28 days for 3 ～ 6 cycles.Results At 3 months after treatment,the total response (complete remission and partial remission) rate was 70.0％ (49/70),the efficiency of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy,and radiotherapy combined with thermo-chemotherapy were 56.5％ and 88.2％,and the radiotherapy alone group was 56.7％.There were significant difference in efficiency between radiotherapy combined with thermo-chemotherapy group compared to radiotherapy-chemotherapy group and radiotherapy group (x2 =4.68,4.98,P ＜ 0.05),the last two groups showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The 1-year and 2-year survival rate was 46.8％ and 20.3％,respectively.The 1-year and 2-year survival rates were 52.4％ and 26.7％ in combination group,and 42.5％ and 16.2％ in radiotherapy group (x2 =14.17,P ＜ 0.05 ; x2 =9.74,P ＜ 0.05).No serious complications such as perforation,bleeding,and high fever were seen during treatment and follow-up.Conclusions 3D-CRT combined with thermochemotherapy is well tolerated and is relatively effective for the LAPC patients.
