Objective:To study the effect of treadmill training on myelin regeneration in rats with controlled cortical impact(CCI).Methods:The rat CCI model of was prepared by impinging method,and the rat model was trained by running on the treadmill for 8 weeks.The neural function deficit was detected by the modified neurological function se-verity scoring method,the motor function of the rats was detected by the balance beam test,and the expression of BDNF was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and RT-qPCR.The expressions of myelin basic protein(MBP),myelin oligodendrocyte glycating protein(MOG)and myelin protein lipoprotein(PLP)in corpus callosum were detected by Western Blot.Results:Treadmill training improved the neural function score and motor function of CCI injured rats,increased the expression of BDNF in cortex,and upregulated the expression of MBP,MOG,and PLP.Conclusion:Treadmill training promotes myelin repair by upregating BDNF,thereby improving the neural function defi-cit caused by CCI injury.

AIM:To investigate the impact of platycodin D(PD)on the viability,migration,invasion,apop-tosis and cell cycle of osteosarcoma cells in vitro,along with its underlying mechanisms.METHODS:Human osteosarco-ma cells MG63 and U2OS were divided into control group(0 μmol/L)and PD treatment group(6.25,12.5,25,50 and 100 μmol/L,respectively).Human osteosarcoma cells MG63 and U2OS were categorized into control groups(0 μmol/L PD)and PD treatment groups(6.25,12.5,25,50 and 100 μmol/L).The CCK-8 assay determined cell viability and identified effective treatment concentrations.MG63(15 μmol/L PD)and U2OS(25 μmol/L PD)were specifically ana-lyzed.Cell scratch and Transwell assays assessed migration and invasion.Hoechst 33342 staining examined nuclear mor-phological changes.Flow cytometry analyzed cell cycle distribution and apoptosis rate.Western blot measured protein ex-pression levels:cleaved caspase-3,cleaved PARP,c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK),p-JNK,B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),Bcl-2-ssociated X protein(BAX),matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP-2),MMP-9,cyclin-dependent kinase 4(CDK4),cyclin D1,CDK1,cyclin B1,extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)and p-ERK.Proteome sequencing of MG63 cells was performed.RESULTS:PD treatment significantly decreased cell survival,scratch healing rate,and invasive cell numbers,while increasing apoptosis rates(P<0.05).Morphological changes such as nuclear hyperchroma-tism and fragmentation were observed in PD-treated cells.PD induced G2/M phase arrest in MG63 and G0/G1 phase arrest in U2OS cells.PD treatment upregulated BAX,cleaved caspase-3,cleaved PARP,and p-JNK/JNK,while downregulat-ing Bcl-2,MMP-2,MMP-9,CDK4,cyclin D1,CDK1,cyclin B1,and p-ERK/ERK(P<0.05).Proteome sequencing re-vealed PD's involvement in cell division,cell cycle regulation,focal adhesion,apoptosis,and the MAPK signaling path-way.CONCLUSION:PD inhibits cell viability,migration,and invasion of osteosarcoma cells in vitro,while promoting apoptosis and inducing cell cycle arrest.These effects are likely mediated through modulation of the MAPK signaling path-way.

Objective To develop a GPU-based Monte Carlo dose calculation module for helical tomotherapy(TOMO),and integrate it into the commercial software ArcherQA to achieve fast and accurate dose verification in clinic.Methods The TOMO treatment head was modeled using TOPAS to obtain phase space files,and a fast weight tuning algorithm was used to simulate particle transport in multi-leaf collimator for improving computational efficiency,and finally,GPU-based Monte Carlo algorithms in ArcherQA were used to simulate particle transport in patients.To verify the model accuracy,the ArcherQA calculated results in water tank were compared with measured data for different open fields.In addition,multiple comparisons among ArcherQA results,TPS results and ArcCHECK results were conducted on 15 clinical cases(5 cases in the head and neck,5 cases in the chest and abdomen,and 5 cases in the whole body).Results In the water tank tests for 40 cm×5.0 cm,40 cm×2.5 cm and 40 cm× 1.0 cm radiation fields,the average global relative errors of the percentage depth dose,transverse dose distribution,and longitudinal dose distribution calculated by ArcherQA with the corresponding measured values were 0.72％,0.66％,and 0.54％,respectively.Over 98％of the voxels had a global relative error of less than 1％.As for 15 clinical cases,in 2％/2 mm criteria,the mean Gamma passing rate was 98.1％between ArcherQA and TPS,99.1％between TPS and ArcCHECK,and 99.4％between ArcherQA and ArcCHECK.The uncertainty of the simulation maintained less than 1％,and the average time taken for calculation based on patient CT vs ArcCHECK phantom was 87 s vs 64 s.Conclusion ArcherQA can be used for independent dose validation for TOMO plans for it can provide fast and accurate dose calculations.

Objective:To explore the application effect of massive open online course (MOOC) combined with peer mutual assistance in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching.Methods:A total of 140 students in the same class of Batch 2015 were divided into the experimental group and the control group. In the teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the experimental group was based on the MOOC teaching platform, watched videos and topic tests before class, and used the peer mutual assistance in class. While the control group adopted traditional classroom teaching mode. The teaching effect of the two groups were evaluated by comparing the operation assessment scores and questionnaire survey of students' satisfaction with teaching. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The operating assessment score of the experimental group was (82.20±2.31), and the operating assessment score of the control group was (75.80±1.72). The difference was statistically significant ( t=3.27, P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the course satisfaction and learning motivation of the experimental group were better than those of the control group. In learning burden, the two groups had similar results ( P=0.739). Conclusion:MOOC combined with peer mutual assistance in cardiopulmonary resuscitation teaching can help students better master skills, improve students' course satisfaction and learning motivation, without increasing their learning burden.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

In this study, we cloned the complete coding sequence (CDS) of chicken foxp3 (chfoxp3) gene, analyzed its structure, and investigated its expression profile in different chicken tissues. To be specific, chfoxp3 was cloned from the splenic tissue of 50-day-old specific-pathogen-free chickens, and analyzed by using online bioinformatics tools or software. The expression profiles of the chfoxp3 gene in different chicken tissues were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The results indicated that the chfoxp3 gene contains an 882-bp open reading frame, encoding 293 amino acids hydrophilic protein with a molecular weight of 33.44 kDa. The chFoxp3 protein has a forkhead domain and carries a nuclear localization signal, which is typical in the Fox transcription factor family. The secondary structure of chFoxp3 consists of α-helix (29.35%), extended chain (10.92%), β-turn (5.12%) and random coil (54.61%). The expression of chfoxp3 varied in different tissues. The expression levels of chfoxp3 in chicken heart and pancreas were higher than in spleen, bursa of Fabricius, thymus, and other immune organs (P < 0.01), which was quite different from that of mammals. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that chFoxp3 belonged to the same clade as other wild birds did, but was far different from that of mammals. These results may facilitate further research on the role of chFoxp3 in immune regulation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and surgical treatment experience of carotid body tumor (CBT).Methods:The clinical data of 12 patients with CBT admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2013 to August 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, there were 6 males and 6 females, aged 31-83 years, with a median age of 57 years. Among the 12 patients, 2 patients were not treated surgically. The body mass index (BMI), tumor side, maximum diameter of tumor, and tumor classification, operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative drainage volume and time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications of patients undergoing surgery were recorded.Results:BMI of the 12 patients was 17.19-29.07 kg/m 2, with an average of (24.05±3.95) kg/m 2. Among the 12 patients, there were 4 tumors on the left side, 6 tumors on the right side and 2 patients had bilateral tumors. The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.7-8.7 cm, with an average of (4.05 ± 1.89) cm. Among the 2 patients with bilateral tumors, 1 patient underwent staged resection within 9 months and 1 patient only removed the larger tumor. A total of 10 patients underwent surgical resection. All excised tumors were confirmed histopathologically to be paraganglioma. The average operation time and the amount of bleeding was(164.73 ± 74.39)min and 341.82 mL respectively. The drainage time was 1-3 d, with an average of (1.73 ± 0.65) d. The cumulative drainage volume was 22-237 mL, with an average of (77.18 ± 57.47) mL. Classification of 11 surgically resected tumors: 3 patients (3/11, 27.3%) were Shamblin Ⅰ, 7 patients (7/11, 63.6%) were Shamblin Ⅱ and 1 patient (1/11, 9.1%) were Shamblin Ⅲ. There were 1 patient of hematoma and 1 patient of acute cerebral infarction after operation. One patient with decrease in muscle strength of right limb, other surgical patients complained no complications such as stroke and cranial nerve injury when discharged. Patients undergoing surgery were hospitalized for 8-20 days, with an average of (13.36 ± 3.61) d. Conclusions:CBT is a rare paraganglioma in clinic. Surgical resection is an effective method to treat CBT. Careful operation should be carried out to avoid serious complications such as wound hematoma, cranial nerve injury and ischemic stroke.

To obtain chicken CD40L protein, the cDNA was prepared from chicken splenic cells and used as a template to clone and amplify CD40L by PCR. The target gene was cloned into pFastBac vector to construct a pFastBac-chCD40L donor plasmid. Recombinant plasmid was transformed into DH10Bac and recombinant Bacmid-chCD40L was obtained. The Bacmid-chCD40L plasmid was transfected into sf9 insect cells to obtain His-chCD40L protein. In addition, the target gene was cloned into pQM01 vector to construct a pQM01-chCD40L plasmid, recombinant plasmid was transfected into HEK 293T cells to obtain Strep-chCD40L protein. The chCD40L protein was purified by affinity chromatography, and the concentration of purified chCD40L protein was determined to be 0.01 mg/mL. Primary cells were isolated from the bursal tissue of 3-week old SPF chickens, and the chCD40L protein was added to the culture medium to stimulate cells. The chCD40L could bind to CD40 on B cells as examined by Western blotting, indirect immunofluorescence assay and flow cytometry, suggesting that chCD40L protein is biologically active. We successfully obtained chicken CD40L protein of biological activity, which laid the foundation in the in vitro culture of primary B lymphocytes for the isolation and diagnosis of virulent IBDV.
