Objective:To explore the efferent projections of glutamatergic neurons in the basal forebrain(BF)and the function of its projections to lateral habenula(LHb)under isoflurane anesthesia.Methods:Channelrhodopsin-as-sisted circuit mapping(CRACM)was used to explore the efferent projections of BF glutamatergic neurons in cre driver mice lines.On this basis,we optogenetically activated the BF glutamatergic projections to LHb to explore its function in wake-anesthesia regulation of isoflurane anesthesia.Results:The glutamatergic projections of BF mainly project to LHb,optogenetic activation of BF glutamatergic projections to LHb could significantly prolonged the time of loss of righ-ting reflex(LORR)and shortened the time of recovery of righting reflex(RORR).Optical stimulation of this projection reduced the burst suppression ratio(BSR)under 1.0%isoflurane anesthesia.When the mice were anesthetized by 0.8%isoflurane,a significant decrease of δ power percentage was observed,while the power percentage of β bands and γ bands increased.Conclusion:The glutamatergic neurons of BF mainly project to LHb,activation of this projection can not only prolong the induction time but also shorten the emergence time.Furthermore,this projection also exerts a pro-arousal effect under the maintenance phase of isoflurane anesthesia.

Heat shock factor 1(HSF1)is a core transcription factor in cellular stress response and protein homeostasis maintenance,and is widely involved in biological processes such as cell growth,differentiation,and metabolism.This study aims to design antigenic peptides of the sheep HSF1 protein and prepare polyclonal antibodies through bioinformatics analysis and immunologi-cal techniques,and verify their application effects in sheep lung and testis tissues.Firstly,the se-quence,structure,and evolution of the sheep HSF1 gene were analyzed using bioinformatics meth-ods,and key antigenic epitopes were predicted.Then,suitable peptide fragments were selected for synthesis,emulsified with Freund's complete adjuvant or incomplete adjuvant,and used to immu-nize New Zealand rabbits.The specificity and effectiveness of the antibodies were verified by indi-rect ELISA,Western blot,and immunohistochemistry(IHC)experiments.The results showed that the HSF1 protein is 564 amino acids(aa)in length,with a molecular weight of 60.76 kDa,a theo-retical isoelectric point(pI)of 5.32,and is hydrophilic and unstable.Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that HSF1 is highly conserved among most members of the Bovidae family,as well as in humans,mice,rats,and other species,but with local site differences.Sheep HSF1 is most closely related to goat HSF1,followed by Canadian bighorn sheep and goral.The phosphorylation sites of sheep HSF1 are predominantly concentrated in the middle and C-terminal regions,which is largely consistent with the predicted results for human HSF1,though some local differences exist.The prepared polyclonal antibodies exhibited a titer of over 1:8000 in recognizing the sheep HSF1 pro-tein,and Western blot experiments confirmed clear bands with consistent molecular weight,indica-ting high specificity of the antibodies.Furthermore,the expression and specific distribution of HSF1 were detected in sheep lung and testis tissues.This study successfully prepared polyclonal antibodies based on the sheep HSF1 antigen peptide and,for the first time,detected the immuno-histochemical distribution of HSF1 in the testis and lung tissues of Argali hybrid sheep.This pro-vides an important tool for further exploring the physiological role of HSF1 in Argali hybrid sheep and its potential applications in stress response,disease prevention,and treatment.

ObjectiveTo establish and validate a clinical prediction model for 1-year major adverse cardiovascular events（MACEs）risk after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） in coronary heart disease （CHD） patients with blood stasis syndrome. MethodThe consecutive CHD patients diagnosed with blood stasis syndrome in the Department of Integrative Cardiology at China-Japan Friendship Hospital from September 1， 2019 to March 31， 2021 were selected for a retrospective study， and basic clinical features and relevant indicators were collected. Eligible patients were classified into a derivation set and a validation set at a ratio of 7∶3， and each set was further divided into a MACEs group and a non-MACEs group. The factors affecting the outcomes were screened out by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （Lasso） and used to establish a logistic regression model and identify independent prediction variables. The goodness-of-fit of the model was evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test， and the area under curve （AUC） of the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve， calibration curve， decision curve analysis （DCA）， and clinical impact curve （CIC） were employed to evaluate the discrimination， calibration， and clinical impact of the model. ResultA total of 731 consecutive patients were assessed and 404 eligible patients were enrolled， including 283 patients in the derivation set and 121 patients in the validation set. Lasso identified ten variables influencing outcomes， which included age， sex， fasting plasma glucose （FPG）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， homocysteine （Hcy）， brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity （baPWV）， flow-mediated dilatation （FMD）， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF）， and Gensini score. The multivariate Logistic regression preliminarily identified age， FPG， TG， Hcy， LDL-C， LVEF， and Gensini score as the independent variables that influenced the outcomes. Of these variables， male， high FMD and high LVEF were protective factors， and the rest were risk factors. The prediction model for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome showed χ²=12.371 （P=0.14） in Hosmer-Lemeshow test and the AUC of 0.90. With the threshold probability > 10%， the model showed better prediction performance for 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome than for that in all the patients. With the threshold probability > 60%， the estimated value was much closer to the real number of patients. ConclusionThe established clinical prediction model facilitates the early prediction of 1-year MACEs risk after PCI in CHD patients with blood stasis syndrome， which can provide ideas for the precise treatment of CHD patients after PCI and has guiding significance for improving the prognosis of the patients. Meanwhile， multi-center studies with larger sample sizes are expected to further validate， improve， and update the model.

Biodegradable vascular stents have better biocompatibility than drug-eluting stents. The blood vessels are rebuilt and degraded after normal physiological functions are restored. Due to it will not stay in the body for a long time and the patients don't need taking anti-rejection drugs all the time, it becomes the focus of attention in the treatment of coronary heart disease.

CONCLUSIONS:Therapeutic efficacy of Shengxuening tablets is significantly better than that of routine iron supplements in the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia during pregnancy.

Objective: To investigate the current status of caries on permanent teeth in adult population at the age of 35⁃44 years old in Guangdong Province, thus to provide scientific basis for the establishment of oral health care policies in Guangdong. Methods: An equal⁃sized stratified multi⁃stage randomly sampling design was applied to obtain represen⁃ tative sample groups consisted of 288 Guangdong residents each, aged at 35⁃44 years old, with a gender ratio of half to half. The caries on the crowns and roots of permanent teeth were assessed according to The Guideline for the 4th National Oral Health Survey; thereafter the prevalence and mean DFT (decayed and filled tooth) of permanent teeth were calculat⁃ ed. The data obtained were analyzed using SAS9.2 package. Results: In 35⁃44 year ⁃old population, the prevalence of crown caries was 71.18%, with a mean DFT of 2.76, and a filled rate of 36.78%; while the prevalence of root caries was 28.47%, with a mean DFT of 0.66, and a filled rate of 4.23%. The prevalence of caries of crown and root and mean DFT of crown caries were higher in countryside when compared to the urban opponents. And female had higher prevalence and mean DFT score in crown and root caries when compared to male. However, the mean DFT score of root caries in urban was almost the same as that in countryside. Conclusion There was a high level of crown caries in Guangdong. Although the prevalence of root caries is low, most of the involved roots was not filled.

Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)on colon glial cells in slow transit constipation (STC ) rats,and to explore the optimal concentration of GDNF in order to provide evidence for intestinal neurotrophic therapy in the treatment of STC.Methods A total of 132 SD rats were divided into STC group and control group,66 rats in each group.STC rats were established by feeding with rhubarb.Six rats were randomly selected from either groups to verify whether STC model was successfully established.And the left 120 rats of two groups were randomly divided into six subgroups:STC group one to group six and control group one to group six,ten rats in each group,which were untreated,injected through tail vein with saline,and 0.001 ,0.010, 0.050,0.100 μg/L GDNF 2 mL respectively for one week.The expression of Sox-8 at protein level of either group were detected by Western blotting.Independent sample t test was performed for statistical analysis.Results After treated with 0.001 μg/L GDNF (STC group three),there was no significant
difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group three and STC group one (13.38 ±0.70 vs 13.39±0.45 ,t = 0.042,P = 0.969 ).After treated with 0.010 μg/L GDNF (STC group four),the difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group four and STC group three was significant (21 .11 ±2.56 vs 13.38±0.70,t=5 .040,P <0.01).After treated with 0.050 μg/mL GDNF (STC group five),the expression level of Sox-8 was higher than that in STC group four (31.86±1.57 vs 21.11±2.56,t=-6.198,P <0.01 ).The Sox-8 expression of untreated,saline treated,0.001 and 0.050 μg/L GDNF treated STC rats (STC group one,two,three and five)were lower than those of the corresponding control groups (t= 3.394,12.103,10.302,- 6.120,all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Exogenous GDNF could increase Sox-8 expression in colon tissue of STC rats,an increase in the number of colon glial cells could repair enteric nervous system,and 0.050 μg/L was the optimal concentration.
