Objective To analyze the risk factors and clinical outcomes of cognitive impairment in elderly patients with heart disease after surgery.Methods A total of 156 patients with heart valve diseases undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of H ainan Medical University from October 2021 to December 2023 were prospectively recruited.At 7 d postoperatively,Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scale was used to assess their cogni-tive function,and based on MoCA score＜26 or not,they patients were divided into a cognitive impairment group(n=61)and a control group(n=95).The clinical features were compared be-tween the two groups,and the risk factors for cognitive impairment were analyzed.All patients were followed up for 1 year to compare the outcomes of the two groups.Results The cognitive impairment group had significantly advanced age,larger proportions of concomitant chronic respiratory diseases and sarcopenia,increased ratio of undergoing open heart surgery,and elevated incidence of intraoperative hypotension than the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age,chronic respiratory diseases,sarcopenia,open heart surgery,and intraoperative hypotension were independent risk factors for postoperative cognitive impairment in elderly patients with heart diseases(OR=1.081,95％CI:1.007-1.161,P=0.030;OR=2.538,95％CI:1.062-6.066,P=0.036;OR=2.650,95％CI:1.174-5.985,P=0.019;OR=3.104,95％CI:1.391-6.929,P=0.006;OR=3.478,95％CI:1.298-9.322,P=0.0013).There was no statistical difference in preoperative MoCA scores between the two groups(27.90±1.40 vs 28.20±1.40,P=0.195).The MoCA score at 7 d and 6 and 12 months after surgery were obviously lower in the cognitive impairment group than the control group(22.90±1.27 vs 27.73±1.08,P=0.000;24.72±1.66 vs 27.73±1.23,P=0.000;25.48±1.73 vs 27.62±1.22,P=0.000).Age was identified as an independent factor affecting the outcome of cognitive function in the patients(OR=1.168,95％CI:1.035-1.318).Conclusion The incidence of postoperative cog-nitive impairment is relatively high in elderly patients with heart disease.So,relevant risk factors should be addressed to strengthen the prevention and management.

Objective:To document any effect of environmental enrichment on nerve regeneration in a mouse model of sciatic nerve compression and explore its mechanism.Methods:A crushed sciatic nerve model was successfully established in 22 C57BL/6 mice, and they were then randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The mice of the intervention group were raised in a cage with an enriched environment, while those of the control group were kept in a standard cage. Two weeks later, both groups′ gait was analyzed and the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the sciatic nerve was measured. The proportion of myelinated sciatic nerve fibers was examined using toluidine blue staining, and the expression of myelin basic protein (MBP), growth associated protein-43 (GAP43) and p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75 NTR) was measured using immunofluorescence intensity. Results:①The latency of the CMAP [(1.05±0.04)ms] was significantly shortened in the intervention group compared with the control group and the amplitude was significantly higher. ②Gait analysis showed a significant increase in the average contact intensity, stride length and stride rate of the intervention group compared with the control group. However, the step axis angle of the intervention group was significantly smaller than in the control group on average. ③The stained nerve fibers in the intervention group were orderly and dense, and the average number of myelinated fibers was significantly greater than in the control group. ④Quantitative analysis of the immunofluorescence showed that the levels of MBP, GAP43 and p75 NTR in the sciatic nerves of the intervention group were, on average, significantly higher than in the control group. Conclusion:An enriched environmental can promote the regeneration and functional recovery of crushed sciatic nerves by promoting the proliferation and myelination of Schwann cells.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects of paeonol combined with cisplatin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cell MG- 63 and its possible mechanism. METHODS ：MG-63 cells in logarithmic growth phase were divided into blank control group ，cisplatin group （4 µmol/L），paeonol group （50 mg/L），and low ，medium，high concentration combined groups （50，100，200 mg/L paeonol+ 4 µmol/L cisplatin ）. CCK- 8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation rate at 24，48，and 72 hours of treatment. Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI double staining method was used to detect the cell apoptosis rate at 24 hours of treatment. The relative expression of PI 3KCA，Akt，mTOR，P-gp and PTEN mRNA in cells were detected by qRT-PCR. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，the cell proliferation rate at each time point ，and the relative expression of PI 3KCA，Akt and mTOR mRNA in cells were significantly reduced and the apoptosis rate and the relative expression of P-gp and PTEN mRNA in the cells were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with cisplatin group and paeonol group ，cell proliferation rate at each time point and the relative expression of PI 3KCA，Akt and mTOR mRNA in cells were decreased significantly in the high concentration combination group ，while the relative expression of P-gp and PTEN mRNA in the cells were significantly increased （P＜0.01）；there were statistical significance in some of the above indicators in the medium and low concentration combination groups（P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：The combination of paeonol and cisplatin could inhibit the proliferation of MG- 63 cells and promote their apoptosis ，which may be related to the down-regulation of PI 3KCA，Akt and mTOR mRNA expression ，and the up-regulation of P-gp and PTEN mRNA expression.

OBJECTIVE：To s tudy the protective effect of polydat in complicated with emodin on hyperuricemia （HUA）model rats，and to screen the optimal complication proportion and investigate the potential mechanism. METHODS ：SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group ，model group ，benzbromarone group （positive control ，8 mg/kg），polydatin alone group，emodin alone group and drug combination group A ，B，C，with 5 rats in each group of each dosage. Normal control group and model group were given constant volume of 0.3％ CMC-Na solution ，administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically. Each group was given 0.1 mL/10 g intragastrically once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. Expect for normal control group，other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate 300 mg/kg 1 h before last medication to induce HUA model. One hour after last medication ，the serum contents of uric acid （UA）were determined in normal control group ，model group，benzbromarone group ，polydatin/alone group （0.625，1.25，2.5，5，10 mg/kg）and drug combination group A [the dose of polydatin+emodin were （0.625+0.625），（1.25+1.25），（2.5+ 2.5），（5 + 5），（10 + 10） mg/kg]. The effect （Fa） and combination index （CI） of above single drug groups and combination groups were calculated by the median effect principle. The dose-effect relationship curves of twocomponents alone or combination were drawn ；Fa-CI curves after simulation were als o drawn to evaluate the effect of two-drug combination. Serum contents of UA in rats were determined and Fa value was calculated in single drug groups and drug combination group B ，C [the dose of polydatin+emodin were （0.625+ 0.625），（0.625+1.25），（0.625+2.5），（0.625+5），（0.625+10）mg/kg and （0.625+0.625），（1.25+0.625），（2.5+0.625），（5+ 0.625），（10+0.625）mg/kg]. The optimal complication proportion of two drugs were screened. The serum contents of xanthine oxidase（XOD）in rats were determined in normal control group ，model group ，benzbromarone group ，polydatin/emodin alone group（10 mg/kg）and the optimal complication proportion groups. The mechanism was analyzed primarily. RESULTS ：Compared with normal control group ，the content of UA in model group was increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ， except for 0.625 mg/kg polydatin alone group ，the content of UA in other administration groups were decreased significantly （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）. When the two drugs were used alone or in combination ，Fa value was positively correlated with drug dose （intercept＞0，correlation coefficient ＞0.9），and Fa value of the combination group was higher than that of any single drug group ； when the simulated Fa value was more than 15％，the corresponding CI value was less than 1，two-drug combination showed synergistic effect. When the complication proportion of polydatin and emodin was 1∶4，the Fa value （53.10）was similar to that of drug combination group A （53.73），and the dose of them were less [ （0.625+2.5）mg/（kg·d）vs.（2.5+2.5）mg/（kg·d）]. Compared with normal control group ，serum content of XOD in model group was increased significantly （P＜0.01）；compared with model group，serum content of XOD in administration groups were decreased significantly ，and the optimal complication proportion group was significantly lower than polydatin alone group and emodin alone group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：The polydatin and emodin used alone or in combination can reduce the serum content of UA in HUA model rats by inhibiting the generation of XOD. They have a certain synergistic effect ，and the optimal complication proportion is 1∶4.

Objective To detect the blood parameter, blood biochemical and electrolyte indices of the F1 generation of Rongshui miniature pig ( RMP) .Methods The blood of 43 female and 42 male RMPs of 4 th month old, and 36 RMPs of 12th month old ( half male and female) were extracted from jugular vein.And the blood parameter, blood biochemical and electrolyte indices were detected by blood analyzer and automatic biochemical analyzer.Results In the same month-old RMP, no significant difference between male and female were found in most indices of blood parameter, blood biochemical and electrolyte indices.On the other hand, many indices were difference between 4th month old and 12th month old RMPs of same gender.Compared with the 4th month old RMP, the 12th month old RMP decreased significantly in WBC and PLT, increased in HGB ( P <0.05 ) while RBC was the same ( P >0.05 ) .Serum ALT, AST, ALP, CK (male), LDH(male), A/G, BUN, GLU (female), CHOL (male) and K+decreased significantly (P <0.05), while serum TP, TBIL, CR and Ca2+increased significantly (P <0.05),but serum CHOL, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were not different.86.4%(19/22) biochemical and electrolyte indices in RMP were in/or close to the range of normal value of human.Conclusion Most of the blood parameter, blood biochemical and electrolyte indices of RMP were close to human’ s normal value.

The provenances of Rongshui miniature pigs ( RMPs) were purchased from Rongshui, Guangxi, in 2012.130 RMPs were transported to Sanshui, Guangdong,China, which were breed according to the laboratory animal standards.83 RMPs were selected randomly from the first filial generations ( F1 ).The basic data were collected including breed characteristics, reproductive performance, grow curve, hematology, biochemical markers of serum and urine, organ coefficient, Chromosome analysis.According to the national and local standards, the quality control standards of RMP were set up including microbiological, parasitic, environment and facilities, fodder, pathology, genetic.The results showed that RMPs adapt to the climate of Guangdong.The natural mating and conceive rate was 88.3% with the pregnancy of 112 days.The average number of firstborn and still-born was 6.1 and 7.9 respectively.RMP was small body size with the adult body weight of 17.21 ±5.20 kg and 16.35 ±5.23 kg in female and male respectively.RMP was very tame.The mitochondrial genome analysis suggested RMP belonged a typical miniature pig breed in China, which is ancient than Lanyu pig.RMP could be breed as a new kind of laboratory animal.

OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) combined intranasal corticosteroids in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). METHOD: The randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the combined therapy of LTRA and nasal corticosteroids from January 1985 to May 2014 were searched in OVID, PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI, WanFang Data, and Cochrane Library. Two reviewers independently screened the literatures, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality. Then meta-ana- lyses were conducted by using RevMan 5.1 software. RESULT: A total of 5 RCTs were included upon literature search. The results of meta-analyses showed that the efficacy of nasal corticosteroids plus LTRA was superior to nasal corticosteroids alone in total nasal symptom scores and individual nasal symptom scores (rhinorrhea, sneezing) [WMD = -4.49, 95% CI (-4.95(-)-4.03)-, P < 0.01; WMD = -0.43, 95% CI (-0.78(-)-0.07), P < 0.05; WMD = -0.10, 95% CI (-0.6(-)-0. 04), P < 0.01], with significant differences. However, compa- ring the subgroup treated with nasal corticosteroids combined LTRA against the subgroup treated with nasal corti- costeroids alone, we found no significant differences for RQLQ score and for individual nasal symptom scores (nasal blockage, nasal itching) [WMD = -15.19, 95% CI (-55.37(-)-25. 00), P > 0.05; WMD = 0.01, 95% CI(-) 0.06-0.08), P > 0. 05; WMD = -0.15,95% CI (-0.43(-)-0.13), P > 0.05]. CONCLUSION Based on limited evidence, we preliminary concluded the combined therapy of nasal corticosteroids and LTRA was more effective than nasal corticosteroids alone in the management of AR. Further large-scale, well-designed RCTs were still required to validate the add-on efficacy of LTRA for AR patients.
