OBJECTIVE To study the mechanism of interfering with long non-coding RNA nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase-antisense RNA1 (LncRNA NNT-AS1) expressing to reduce paclitaxel (TAX) resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. METHODS NSCLC TAX-resistant cell line (A549/TAX) was constructed, and the expressions of LncRNA NNT-AS1 in normal, parental, and drug-resistant cells were observed. The targeting relationship of microRNA-582-5p (miR-582- 5p) with LncRNA NNT-AS1 and high mobility group box2 (HMGB2) was verified. A549/TAX cells were cultured in vitro to observe the effects of interfering with LncRNA NNT-AS1 alone or interfering with LncRNA NNT-AS1 and miR-582-5p on the expressions of LncRNA NNT-AS1 and miR-582-5p, the mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB2, cell viability, clone formation and apoptosis. The effects of interfering with LncRNA NNT-AS1 on tumor growth and the expression of miR-582-5p and the mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB2 in tumor tissue were observed in nude mice. RESULTS Compared with normal cells, LncRNA NNT-AS1 was highly expressed in parental and drug-resistant cells (P<0.05), showing an increasing trend. It was validated that miR-582-5p had a targeting relationship with LncRNA NNT-AS1 and HMGB2. After interfering with the expression of LncRNA NNT-AS1, the expression of LncRNA NNT-AS1 and the mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB2, cell viability and the number of cloned cells in A549/TAX cell, decreased significantly, while the expression of miR-582-5p and the apoptotic rate increased significantly (P<0.05); simultaneously interfering with the expression of miR-582-5p could reverse above changes (P< 0.05). Interfering with the expression of LncRNA NNT-AS1 in tumor cell could significantly reduce tumor volume and tumor weight of nude mice bearing tumors; at the same time, the expression of miR-582-5p was up-regulated significantly and the mRNA and protein expressions of HMGB2 were down-regulated significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Interfering with the expression of LncRNA NNT-AS1 may alleviate TAX chemotherapy resistance in NSCLC through targeted up-regulation of miR-582-5p and down-regulation of HMGB2.

Objective:To investigate the Chinese anesthesiologist′s proficiency, training experience and needs of flexible bronchoscope-guided awake flexible bronchoscopy intubation (AFBI) using a questionnaire method.Methods:The cluster sampling was used, and self-designed questionnaires that addressed 54 questions in 5 categories were distributed through WeChat and online platforms. The survey took one month, and the answers were automatically recorded by the WeChat server.Results:A total of 1 250 anesthesiologists participated in the survey in 30 provinces of China, 9 of them were not anesthesiologists, and 1 241 (99.28%) questionnaires were validated. In the valid questionnaires, 52.70% (654) of the anesthesiologists were from tertiary hospitals, and 74.78% (928) of the anesthesiologists were attending physicians or above, only 7.57% (94) of the anesthesiologists had sufficient confidence in AFBI. Twenty-five point two two percent (313) of the anesthesiologists preferred fiberoptic intubation as the first tool when dealing with the anticipated difficult airway. Forty-eight point one one percent (597) of the anesthesiologists had implemented AFBI. Among them, 80.74% (482) had experienced unsuccessful AFBI practices. Eight hundred and ninety-four anesthesiologists had received AFBI training, and the most common AFBI training strategy was theoretical lectures. In addition, the degree of satisfaction regarding the theoretical lectures quality, technical training, clinical practice relativity and non-technical skills training was 21.47% (192), 14.32% (128), 12.3% (110) and 17.90% (160), respectively. The degree of satisfaction with all the 4 training elements mentioned above was 7.27% (65).Conclusions:The awareness and practice of Chinese anesthesiologists in terms of clinical application of AFBI to treat difficult airways need to be strengthened at present, and the lack of high-quality AFBI training may be the key.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of the complement C3/C3aR signaling pathway in the prefrontal cortex and colon neuroglia cell interactions during meth-amphetamine(METH)addiction,to observe the effects of TLR4 inhibitors as well as complement C3 elimination on METH reward and relapse behavior,and to explore the neuroinflammatory mechanisms of complement C3 acti-vation in METH addiction.METHODS ①A 14 d and 28 d rat METH addiction model was established to observe the effects of TLR4 antagonist ibudilast 3 mg·kg-1 and 10 mg·kg-1 on self-administration,reward motivation,relapse,and natural reward behavior in METH-trained 14 d rats and the effects of 0.02 mg·kg-1 complement C3 antago-nist on self-administration behavior in METH-trained 28 d rats.② Differences in the expression of TLR4,NF-κB,GRP94,C3,cathepsin L,CD68,and GFAP in the pre-frontal cortex of each group were examined using West-ern blotting.③ In addition,the expression of ATF6 in the prefrontal cortex of each group and the effects on neuro-nal and microglia/macrophage INOS,CD206 GRP94,and complement C3/C3aR.RESULTS ① Endoplasmic reticulum stress occurred in neurons and microglia after METH exposure depending on GRP94 and unfolded pro-tein responses to the ATF6 pathway.In addition,it acti-vates the TLR4-NF-κB pathway.② Microglia with high complement C3/C3aR expression in the prefrontal cortex were recruited to synaptic pruning and phagocytic responses around neurons with high GRP94,comple-ment C3/C3aR expression and these effects were blocked by complement C3 antagonists.③ In the rec-tum,GRP94 functions as a molecular chaperone for com-plement C3 and cathepsin L.Crosstalk occurs between enteric neurons high in GRP94,complement C3,and macrophages high in C3aR,located in the submucosa,lamina propria,and muscular,respectively,and all of these effects are blocked by complement C3 antago-nists.④ Treatment with the TLR4 antagonist ibudilast inhibits self-administration,reward motivation,and cue-or METH-priming in METH-trained 14 d rats,but fails to affect natural reward behavior.Ibudilast treatment attenu-ates the TLR4-NF-κB inflammatory pathway and comple-ments C3/C3aR pathway in the prefrontal cortex.CON-CLUSION Activation of the complement C3/C3aR signal-ing pathway by TLR4-NF-κB inflammatory signaling in the prefrontal cortex mediates the METH addiction pro-cess,providing an experimental basis for the clinical treatment of METH addiction,and targeting TLR4/NF-κB inflammatory signaling and complement C3/C3aR may be a new way to intervene in METH addiction.

OBJECTIVE To expl ore the mechanism of effe ctive fractions from Xiongma decoction in the treatment of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis. METHODS Totally 70 male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group , model group ,positive control group (Flunarizine hydrochloride capsules 0.9 mg/kg),low-dose and high-dose groups of Xiongma decoction effective fractions (ethyl acetate extract 0.87,3.46 g/kg,n-butanol extract 1.80,7.20 g/kg). Except for normal group , rats in other groups were given aconite decoction (2 g/kg),once a day ,for 4 consecutive weeks to establish the hyperactivity model of liver-yang. On the 15th day of modeling ,all administration groups were given corresponding drugs intragastrically at the same time ,once a day ,for 2 consecutive weeks. On the 29th day of modeling ,rats trigeminal ganglion was stimulated to establish the migraine model with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis ,then the medication was maintained for another time according to the above method. The macroscopic signs and behavior of the rats were observed ;positive expression ,mRNA and protein expression of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1),calcitonin generelated peptide (CGRP),calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) and receptor-associated membrane proteins 1 (RAMP1) in trigeminal cervical spinal complex (TCC) were detected by immunohistochemistry ,RT-qPCR and Western blot assay. RESULTS Rats in model group showed macrophysical signs and behaviora l manifestations related to migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis. Thirty minutes after last administration ,the above conditions of rats in Xiongma decoction effective fraction groups were improved significantly. Compared with normal group , positive expression,mRNA and protein expression of TRPV 1,CGRP, CRLR and RAMP 1 in TCC of rats in the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with model zengguirong@hnse.org group, most of above indicators in Xiongma decoction effective fraction groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The mechanism of Xiongma decoction in preventing and treating migraine with hyperactivity of liver-yang and blood stasis may be related to inhibit the activity of TRPV1-CGRP/CGRP receptor signaling pathway in TCC.
