Objective : To investigate the impact of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on the composition of 15 intestinal-derived estrogens and their metabolites (EMs) and its correlation with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) . Methods: Thirty male C57BL/6J mice were divided into a normal control group (Control) , a high- sugar high-fat diet combined with low-dose CCl4 -induced NAFLD model group ( Model) , and a group of model mice treated with fecal microbiota from normal female mice (FMT) . After 17 weeks of modeling , liver pathology in each group was observed using HE staining , biochemical methods were used to measure serum alanine aminotrans- ferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels , as well as hepatic triglyceride (TG) and total choles- terol (TC) levels. and the content of 15 EMs in portal vein serum was detected using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) . The correlation between disease phenotype and intesti- nal EMs was analyzed using Pearson ′s method. Results: The NAFLD model was successfully established , and the FMT group showed improved liver structure and morphology , with significant decreases in liver function and hepatic lipids compared to the Model group. In NAFLD mice , the contents of E1 , E2 , and their 2- and 4-position metabo- lites in portal vein blood serum was reduced compared to normal mice , while the content of most 16- and 17-posi- tion metabolites ( except 16α-OHE1) increased compared to normal mice. Correlation analysis showed that ALT was strongly positively correlated with E3 and 17-epiE3 , and strongly negatively correlated with E1 , E2 , 4- MeOE1 , and 16α-OHE1 . The TC was strongly positively correlated with 17-epiE3 and strongly negatively correla- ted with E1 , 4-MeOE1 , and 16α-OHE1 . Conclusion FMT restores the disrupted composition of intestinal EMs and improves NAFLD.

Objective:To fabricate the composite scaffolds for bone regeneration with silk fibroin (SF), bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNR) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) and evaluate their osteogenic activity.Methods:HAp particles, BCNR and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2) were added into SF aqueous solution in turn, poured into molds of different sizes after being mixed evenly and processed at -25 ℃ for 24 hours to obtain frozen molds, and the composite scaffolds were frozen-dried by freezing-drying machine. The composite scaffolds with different mass ratios of SF and BCNR were divided into groups A (2∶1), B (4∶1) and C (6∶1), and the inactive composite scaffolds without BMP2 fell into group D. The surface morphology and pore structure of the scaffolds were detected by scanning electron microscopy. The porosity of the scaffolds was measured by mercury intrusion porosimeter. The stress-strain curve was obtained by using the universal material testing machine to compress the scaffolds, with which their compressive strength and Young′s modulus were analyzed. Immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (iMEF) were inoculated on the composite scaffolds of group A, B, C and D. At 4 and 8 days after cell inoculation, the proportion of alive and dead cells in each group was detected by cell survival/death staining; the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect cell proliferation activity in each group; the positive staining cells were detected in each group by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining; the ALP activity was observed in each group with ALP activity detection. A total of 15 female SD rats were selected to establish osteogenesis models with ectopic muscle bag. The composite scaffolds implanted with different SF/BCNR mass ratios and the inactive composite scaffolds without BMP2 fell into group A′ (2∶1), B′ (4∶1), C′ (6∶1) and D′ respectively, and a sham operation group was set at the same time, with 3 rats in each groups. In the sham operation group, the muscle bag and skin were sutured without scaffold implantation after the incision of skin, the blunt separation of the quadriceps muscle, and the formation of muscle bag in the muscle. In the other four groups, the corresponding scaffolds were implanted in the muscle bag and the muscle bag and skin were sutured. X-ray examination was performed at 2 and 4 weeks after operation to observe the osteogenesis in each group. At 4 weeks after operation, the implanted scaffolds and tissue complexes were collected by pathological tissue sectioning, HE staining and Masson staining, and for observing the osteogenesis by in each group. Immunohistochemical staining was also performed on the tissue sections to observe the expression of osteogenic markers type I collagen (COL1) and osteopontin (OPN) in each group.Results:Scanning electron microscopy showed that the lamellar and micropore structures of group B were more regular and uniform than those of groups A and C. The porosity rate analysis showed that the porosity rates of groups B and C were (89.752±1.866)% and (84.257±1.013)% respectively, higher than that of group A [(81.171±1.268)%] ( P<0.05 or 0.01), with the porosity rate of group C lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). The mechanical property test showed that the compressive strengths of groups B and C were (0.373±0.009)MPa and (0.403±0.017)MPa respectively, higher than that of group A [(0.044±0.003)MPa] ( P<0.01), and the Young′s moduli of groups B and C were (7.413±0.094)MPa and (9.515±0.615)MPa respectively, higher than that of group A [(1.881±0.036)MPa] ( P<0.01), with the compressive strength and Young′s modulus of group C higher than those of group B ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The cell survival/death staining showed that the number of dead cells of group B was significantly smaller than that of groups A, C and D at 4 days after cell inoculation, and that group B had the most living cells and the fewest dead cells at 8 days after cell inoculation. The results of CCK-8 experiment showed that at 4 days after cell inoculation, the cell proliferation activity of groups A and B was 0.474±0.009 and 0.545±0.018 respectively, higher than 0.394±0.016 of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group C was 0.419±0.005, with no significant difference from that of group D ( P>0.05), while the cell proliferation activity of groups A and C were both lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 8 days after cell inoculation, the cell proliferation activity of group B was 1.290±0.021, higher than 1.047±0.011 of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group C was 0.794±0.032, lower than that of group D ( P<0.01); the cell proliferation activity of group A was 1.086±0.020, with no significant difference from that of group D ( P>0.05); the cell proliferation activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 4 and 8 days after cell inoculation, ALP staining showed that more positive cells were found in groups A, B and C when compared with group D, and more positive cells were found in group B than in groups A and C. At 4 days after cell inoculation, the ALP activity detection showed that the ALP activity of groups A, B and C was 1.399±0.071, 1.934±0.011 and 1.565±0.034 respectively, higher than 0.082±0.003 of group D ( P<0.01), while the ALP activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). At 8 days after cell inoculation, the cell activity of groups A, B and C was 2.602±0.055, 3.216±0.092 and 2.145±0.170 respectively, higher than 0.101±0.001 of group D ( P<0.01), while the ALP activity of groups A and C was lower than that of group B ( P<0.01). X-ray examination results showed that at 2 weeks after operation, no obvious osteogenesis was observed in the sham operation group, group D′, A′ and C′, while it was observed in group B′. At 4 weeks after operation, obvious osteogenesis was observed in group A′, B′ and C′, with significantly more osteogenesis in group B′ than in the other two groups, while there was no obvious osteogenesis in the sham operation group and group D′. At 4 weeks after operation, the HE staining and Masson staining showed that a large number of uniformly distributed new bone tissue was formed in group B′, while only a small amount of new bone tissue was found locally in groups A′ and C′, and only part of new tissue was found to grow in group D′ with no obvious new bone tissue observed. The maturity of new bone tissue formed in group B′ was higher than that in group A′ and C′. Immunohistochemical staining showed more COL1 and OPN positive staining in group B′ when compared with groups A′ and C′. The expression intensity analysis of COL1 and OPN showed that in groups A′, B′ and C′, the expression intensity of COL1 was 2.822±0.384, 22.810±2.435 and 12.480±0.912 respectively and the expression intensity of OPN was 1.545±0.081, 5.374±0.121 and 2.246±0.116 respectively, with higher expression intensity of COL1 and OPN in groups B′ and C′ than that in group A′ ( P<0.01) and lower expression intensity of COL1 and OPN in group C′ than that in B′ group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The composite scaffold for bone regeneration is successfully fabricated with SF, BCNR and HAp. The composite scaffold with a mass ratio of SF to BCNR of 4∶1 has uniform pore structure, high porosity, good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, excellent pro-osteogenic properties in vitro, as well as excellent osteo-inductivity and osteo-conductivity.

Objective:To observe the effect of cross-education combined with electromyography(EMG)biofeedback inter-vention on the wrist dorsal extension function of patients with subacute stroke. Method:Forty-five patients with subacute stroke were randomly divided into cross-education group,EMG bio-feedback group,and combined group,with 15 cases in each group.The patients of three groups received rou-tine rehabilitation training.The cross-education group performed additional cross-education training on this ba-sis,the EMG biofeedback group performed additional EMG biofeedback training,and the combined group per-formed additional cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback.The above treatment lasted for 6 weeks,and before and after treatment,active joint range of motion(AROM),manual muscle test(MMT),simpli-fied Fugl-Meyer motor function score:upper extremity(FMA-UE),modified Barthel index(MBI)were used to assess the patient's wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living. Result:Before treatment,the three groups had no significant difference in FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score(P＞0.05).After 6 weeks treatment,the FMA-UE score,wrist dorsiflexion AROM,muscle strength score,and MBI score of the three groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05).When comparison among the groups,there was no significant difference in MBI score(P＞0.05),and other index score comparisons showed significant differences(P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the comparison of the cross-education group and the EMG biofeed-back group(P＞0.05). Conclusion:Cross-education combined with EMG biofeedback is better than single cross-education or EMG biofeedback intervention in improving the wrist extension function,upper limb motor function and activities of daily living in patients with subacute stroke.

This paper aimed at studying the effects of hyaluronic acid (HA) with different molecular weights on the transdermal absorption and retention of reduced glutathione (GSH) in the isolated skin of SD rats. Franz diffusion cell method was used to investigate the effects with different molecular weights HA on the in vitro transdermal penetration of GSH and the storage in different layers of the skin. AutoDock molecular docking was used to study the interaction between GSH and HA. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and H&E section staining were used to characterize the changes and effects of lipids and proteins in the rat stratum corneum after HA acts on the skin. The results of in vitro transdermal experiments showed that HA with different molecular weights had a significant impact on the amount of GSH passing through the skin, that as the molecular weight of HA increased, the effect of preventing GSH from passing through the skin became stronger, that in terms of skin storage, HA with different molecular weights could increase the storage of GSH in the stratum corneum, and that HA with a molecular weight below 7K could also significantly increase the storage of GSH in the dermis. The molecular docking results showed that HA and GSH had a relatively strong interaction, which could form intermolecular hydrogen bonds; and the results of ATR-FTIR and H&E staining showed that HA could interact with lipids and keratins in the stratum corneum of the skin. Such interaction can increase the permeability of the stratum corneum of the drug, however, as a water-soluble GSH, it may be involved in the formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds with HA. In the structure of HA hydrogel, the amount of GSH drug passing through the intact skin is reduced; but at the same time, this interaction also provides a reservoir for the formation of GSH, thus increasing its storage in the skin. Through comparison of the storage capacity of GSH in the stratum corneum and dermis of the isolated skin due to the increase of HA with different molecular weights, it has been found that the storage capacity of HA with low relative molecular weight is the best.

Objective To explore the application of body position intervention combined pronase in gastric mucosal cleaning in painless gastroscopy.Methods A total of 200 patients who underwent painless gastroscopy from July 2016 to July 2017 in the digestive endoscopy center were selected as the subjects.According to the random digital table method,the patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group of 100 cases.In the experimental group,before the gastroscope was examined,pronase plus Dimethicone Powder and lidocaine mucilage was used,and then the body position intervention (right supine 5 min-supine 5 min-left lying position 5 min) was examined,and the control group was taken Dimethicone Powder and Lido before the intensive examination.The caking mortar was then placed on the left side of the examination bed 15 min for examination.The upper gastrointestinal tract visual field definition and endoscopic operation time were compared between the two groups under magnifying endoscopy under white light and narrowband imaging.Results In the experimental group,72.0％ (72/100),20.0％ (20/100),6.0％ (6/100) and 2.0％ (2/100) of A,B,C,D grade of the visual field clarity of mucosa under white light were better than 32.0％ (32/100),30.0％ (30/100),13.0％ (13/100) and 25.0％ (25/100) of the control group,respectively.The difference was statistically significant (x2=39.54,P ＜ 0.05).There were 0,6,29 and 65 cases of 1,2,3,4 scores of microvascular visual field intelligibility scores under magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow band imaging in the experimental group,which were better than those in the control group (11,31,28 and 30 cases respectively).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (Z =-6.07,P ＜ 0.05).The examination time of the experimental group was (10.64 ± 3.83) minutes,which was lower than that of the control group (11.67 ± 4.89) minutes,and the difference was statistically significant (t=1.978,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The effect of pronase as an anti mucilage agent combined with body position is obvious,and the effect of dispelling the mucus and removing the mucus is comprehensive,and it can effectively shorten the time of examination.It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA)in the safety management of digestive endoscopic specimens. Methods From April to November 2016, the specimens by biopsy from the patients in the department of gastrointestinal endoscopy were assigned as the control group, where conventional sample management was used and those from December 2016 to July 2017 were all included in the intervention group, where FMEA was used to find the failure mode and improvement plan was worked out. The FMEA team was set up to discuss and determine the high risk factors leading to the safety management defects in the digestive endoscopy center and calculate the risk priority number (RPN). According to the potential risk factors, we optimized and implemented continuous improvement of the specimen safety management process. Results After the implementation of FMEA,the RPNs in the top 6 failure modes were less than 125,the risk coefficient value dropped from 126~175 to 0~40.The specimen error rate after the implementation of FMEA was statistically significantly lower than that before the implementation (P<0.001). Conclusion The FMEA reduces the incidence of specimen failure and improves the quality of the management of digestive endoscopy.
