Under the influence of long-term space flights and the confined space environment,it is very easy to induce space depression syndrome,mainly manifested as decreased emotional stability,sleep disorders,mental fatigue,etc.,which seriously affect the living conditions and working abilities of astronauts.The current treatment methods mainly focus on psychological support and drug intervention.Acupuncture has a good effect in treating depression.Therefore,starting from the TCM pathogenesis and modern medical pathogenesis of aerospace depression syndrome,we conducted literature retrieval from databases such as the Chinese Medical Classic,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,and Web of science.For the included literature,we adopted the stratified evidence scoring method and combined the TCM mechanism and modern medical mechanism of the effect of acupuncture.A prescription for acupuncture points was constructed to provide a basis for selecting acupuncture points for the prevention of aerospace depression syndrome through acupuncture.

Objective:To explore the relationship between body composition and the risk of gestational diabe-tes mellitus(GDM)in pregnant women.Methods:90 pregnant women with spontaneous pregnancy of singleton who underwent routine prenatal examination in our hospital were selected as GDM group,and 219 pregnant women with normal singleton in the same period as control group(NGT).The body composition was determined by bioimpedance method at 24-28 weeks of gestation.The relationship between body mass index(BMI),per-centage of body fat(FMP),percentage of fat-free body weight(FFMP),extracellular/intracellular fluid(ECW/ICW),body fat index(FMI)and GDM were analyzed.The levels of circulating adiponectin,fatty acid binding pro-tein 4(FABP4),leptin and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)method,and their relationship with various indicators of human body composition was analyzed.Results:①Adi-ponectin in GDM group was lower than that in NGT group,while leptin was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).②The FMP,ECW/ICW and FMI in GDM group were significantly higher than those in control group(P＜0.05).Univariate regression analysis showed that BMI,FMP,FMI and ECW/ICW before pregnancy were the risk factorsof GDM(OR＞1,P＜0.05),FFMP,MP,PP and M/F was the protective factor of GDM(OR＜1,P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that only FMP was significantly correlated with the risk of GDM,which was an independent risk factor(OR＞1,P＜0.05).③In GDM group,HOMA-IR was positively correlated with FMI(r＞1,P＜0.05)and negatively correlated with PP(r＜1,P＜0.05).④The ROC curve showed that the diagnostic value of pre-pregnancy BMI、FMP、ECW/ICW and FMI in GDM was similar.There was no significant difference in pre-pregnancy BMI,FMP and FMI(P＞0.05),but they were slightly better than ECW/ICW(P＜0.001).Conclu-sions:Body composition during pregnancy is related to the risk of gestational diabetes.The increase in FMP is associated with an increased risk of developing GDM.The higher the FMP,the higher the risk of GDM.The diag nostic efficacy of BMI,FMP and FMI in GDM is Similar.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum 1, 5-anhydroglucitol (1, 5-AG) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A total of 160 patients with T2DM aged 60-75 years old who visited the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2021 to July 2022 were selected. According to the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), all patients were divided into T2DM with MCI group (T2DM+ MCI group, n=81) and T2DM without MCI group (T2DM group, n=79). All research subjects were tested for glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), serum 1, 5-AG, serum β-amyloid peptide 42 (Aβ42), and blood biochemical indicators.SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare the two groups. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the relevant influencing factors. Results:(1) Compared with T2DM group, patients in T2DM+ MCI group had significantly higher age, systolic pressure and HbA1c(all P<0.05).The level of 1, 5-AG in T2DM+ MCI group was significantly lower than that in T2DM group( (15.65±2.56 )μg/mL, (18.17±3.72 )μg/mL, P<0.01), and the level of Aβ42 was higher than that of T2DM group (2.95 (3.36) pg/mL, 1.91 (2.48) pg/mL, P<0.05). (2) Binary Logistic regression analysis results showed that HbA1c( β=0.230, OR=1.259, 95% CI=1.010-1.568, P=0.040) and Aβ42( β=0.188, OR=1.206, 95% CI=1.033-1.409, P=0.018) were the independent risk factors for MCI in elderly patients with T2DM, while 1, 5-AG ( β=-0.240, OR=0.786, 95% CI=0.698-0.886, P<0.001) was the protective factor for MCI. Conclusion:There is a positive correlation between serum 1, 5-AG and cognitive function, and the decrease of 1, 5-AG level was associated with the increased risk of MCI in elderly patients with T2DM.

Objective To evaluate the effect of standardized lipid-lowering therapy in acute stroke patients via high-resolution magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging(HRMR-VWI)to follow-up the characteristics changes of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques.Methods Twenty-two acute stroke patients(65 plaques)were enrolled,and their clinical and imaging data were collected on admission and after standardized lipid-lowering therapy(355-370 days).Diffusion weighted imaging(DWI),three-dimensional time of flight magnetic resonance angiography(3D-TOF-MRA),and HRMR-VWI were performed in all patients.According to the changes in non-high density lipoprotein(non-HDL),all patients were divided into the effective lipid-lowering group and the ineffective lipid-lowering group.The demographic information,plaques characteristics and the effect of standardized lipid-lowering therapy of all patients were compared.Results One(2.33％)plaque in the effective group showed reverse remodeling and four(18.18％)new plaques in the anterior circulation in the ineffective group.Patients in the effective group were significantly better than those in the ineffective group in terms of plaque thickness,load,remodeling index(RI),and the rate of increase in plaque thickness,load,stenosis,and RI,with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the rate of stenosis between the two groups.Conclusion Standardized lipid-lowering therapy has differences in the prognosis of acute stroke patients,and HRMR-VWI may be conducive to individualized assessment of the lipid-lowering effect.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of down-regulation of RACK1 expression on growth and radiosensitivity of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells.Methods:The shRNA vector for RACK1 gene was constructed and transfected into HSC-3 cells by lipofectamine. The stably-transfected cell line was obtained by constructing G418. The expression levels of RACK1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay. Cell apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry. The invasive and metastatic capabilities of cancer cells were assessed by cell invasion assay in vitro.The effect of X-ray irradiation combined with down-regulation of RACK1 expression upon cell proliferation was assessed by clone formation assay. The xenograft tumor nude mouse model was established to observe the inhibitory effect of down-regulating RACK1 gene expression combined with X-ray irradiation on oral squamous cell carcinoma. Results:RT-PCR revealed that the expression level of RACK1 mRNA of transfected HSC-3 cells was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05). Western blot showed that the expression level of RACK1 protein was significantly down-regulated ( P<0.05). CCK8 assay demonstrated that down-regulation of RACK1 expression could remarkably inhibit the growth of HSC-3 cells ( P<0.05). RACK1 gene shRNA interference combined with X-ray irradiation significantly enhanced the apoptosis rate of HSC-3 cells ( P<0.05). The number of invasion cells in vitro in the RACK1 silencing group was evidently decreased ( P<0.05). Clone formation assay showed that the survival fraction in the shRACK1 group was significantly lower than that in the control group. The sensitization enhancement ratio was 1.37(ratio of D 0 value). Xenograft tumor experiment in nude mice showed that tumor growth was significantly inhibited in the shRACK1 group, the tumor volume was significantly decreased and the tumor mass was significantly lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Down-regulating RACK1 expression can enhance the radiosensitivity of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells, providing novel thinking to improve the radiosensitivity of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
