ObjectiveMicrotube associated protein-2 （MAP-2）， alpha-tubulin （α-tubulin）， and synaptophysin （SYP） are important proteins in neuronal signal communication. This paper observed the effects of modified Zhigancao Tang on the expression of serum α-Synuclein （α-Syn） and its oligomers， MAP-2， α-tubulin， and SYP of patients with liver and kidney deficiency of Parkinson's disease （PD）， analyzed their correlation， and evaluated the therapeutic effect of modified Zhigancao Tang in patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD based on α-Syn transmission pathway mediated by neuronal communication in vivo. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PD who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group （30 cases） and a control group （30 cases）. Both groups were treated on the basis of PD medicine， and the treatment group was treated with modified Zhigancao Tang. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. The changes in UPDRS score， TCM syndrome score， and expression of serum α-Syn and its oligomers， MAP-2， α-tubulin， and SYP were observed before and after 12 weeks of treatment in each group. The correlation between the above-mentioned serum biological indexes and the levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers was analyzed. ResultsAfter treatment， the TCM syndrome score， UPDRS score， UPDRS-Ⅱ score， and UPDRS-Ⅲ score of the treatment group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The UPDRS score， UPDRS-Ⅱ score， and UPDRS-Ⅲ scores in the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment （P<0.05）. After treatment， the total effective rate of the control group was 63.3% （19/30）， and that of the treatment group was 86.7% （26/30）. The clinical effect of the observation group was better than the control group （Z=-2.03， P<0.05）. The total effective rate of the observation group was better than that of the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （χ²=5.136， P<0.05）. After treatment， the oligomer level of serum α-Syn and MAP-2 level in the treatment group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of serum α-Syn and its oligomers， as well as α-tubulin in the treatment group， were significantly decreased compared with those in the control group after treatment （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum α-Syn was correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-Syn oligomer in patients with PD （P<0.05， P<0.01） but not correlated with serum SYP . Serum α-Syn oligomers of patients with PD were correlated with serum MAP-2 and α-tubulin （P<0.05， P<0.01） but not correlated with serum SYP level. Serum SYP of patients with PD was correlated with serum MAP-2 （P<0.05）. ConclusionModified Zhigancao Tang has a therapeutic effect on patients with liver and kidney deficiency of PD by inhibiting the production of α-Syn oligomers and intervening α-Syn microtubule transport pathway in vivo.

Background Stroke patients commonly experience varying degrees of psychological distress.Previous studies have shown that the psychological distress of stroke patients is closely related to their coping styles and resourcefulness.However,the path of wisdom in coping style and psychological pain of stroke patients is still unclear.Objective To explore the path of resourcefulness between coping styles and psychological distress in stroke patients,so as to provide insights for interventions targeting psychological distress.Methods A total of 350 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for stroke according to the Diagnostic Criteria of Cerebrovascular Diseases in China(version 2019)and were admitted to the neurology departments of two tertiary grade-A hospitals in Luzhou City from January to May 2023 were selected as the research subjects.Basic information was collected using a self-designed questionnaire,and Resourcefulness Scale(RS),Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire(MCMQ)and Distress Thermometer(DT)were used for assessment.Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between the scores of each scale.Model 4 of the Process 3.4.1 program was employed to analyze the path of resourcefulness between coping styles and psychological distress,and the Bootstrap method was used to test the mediation effects.Results The DT score showed a negative correlation with the confrontation and RS scores(r=-0.581,-0.716,P<0.01),and a positive correlation with the avoidance and resignation scores(r=0.432,0.758,P<0.01).The confrontation score was positively correlated with RS score(r=0.700,P<0.01),while the avoidance and resignation scores were negatively correlated with RS score(r=-0.460,-0.566,P<0.01).Resourcefulness might serve as a mediating path between confrontation,avoidance,resignation,and psychological distress,with the effect value of-0.359,0.203 and 0.183,accounting for 81.78%,62.65%and 27.07%of the path effect,respectively.Conclusion The coping styles of stroke patients can directly affect their psychological distress,and can also indirectly influence it through resourcefulness.Resourcefulness may play a mediating role between coping styles and psychological distress.

Objective:To investigate the effects of salt induced kinase 1(SIK1)in the effects of aerobic exercise on neu-roinflammatory response and spatial learning and memory function in aging mice. Method:Fifty-four male C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups:the young group(group C,n=18),the aging control group(group A,n=18),and the aging exercise group(group E,n=18).Mice in groups C and A were fed naturally,while the mice in group E were subjected to aerobic treadmill exercise intervention for 8 weeks.Morris water maze training and testing were used to evaluate mice's spatial learning and memory abili-ties.Transcriptome sequencing was used to screen the differential genes.Immunofluorescence was used to detect the fluorescence intensity of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1(Iba-1).The mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of SIK1,nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)and interleukin 1β(IL-1β)were detected by real-time PCR and Western Blot. Result:The mean escape latency was prolonged and the number of crossings of the original platform was re-duced(P＜0.01)for learning and memory function-related indicators in aging mice;hippocampal neurons were significantly disrupted and microglia(MG)activation-related gene Iba-1 fluorescence intensity was increased(P＜0.01);transcriptome levels were disturbed,with 175 genes upregulated and 66 genes were downregulated;inflammation-related genes SIK1,NF-κB mRNA(P＜0.05,P＜0.01)and protein(P＜0.01,P＜0.01)expression was elevated and IL-1β mRNA expression was increased(P＜0.05).After exercise intervention,the mean es-cape latency was reduced and the number of crossing the original platform was increased in aging mice(P＜0.01),attenuated neuronal damage,reduced Iba-1 fluorescence intensity(P＜0.01),upregulation of 19 genes,downregulation of 12 genes,reduced expression of SIK1,NF-κB mRNA(P＜0.01,P＜0.05)and protein(P＜0.05,P＜0.05),and IL-1β protein expression was reduced(P＜0.05). Conclusion:Eight weeks of aerobic exercise can reduce the expression of hippocampal SIK1 and its down-stream NF-κB and IL-1β in aging mice,inhibit MG activation,reduce neuroinflammation,and ultimately im-prove spatial learning and memory function.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of medical narrative competence among nurses in Luzhou, offering theoretical insights for improving nurses′ narrative competence.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From July 2021 to January 2022, using convenience sampling method, 267 nurses from Zhongshan Area of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, Kangjian Area of Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University and the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Southwest Medical University were investigated by the general information questionnaire, Narrative Competence Scale, Nurses′ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire And Perceived Social Support Scale.Results:The total scores of narrative competence of the 267 nurses was (142.25 ± 19.03), nurses′ perceived professional benefits was (137.16 ± 15.89) and perceived social support was (65.86 ± 10.38). The results of multiple linear regression showed that nurses′ perceived professional benefits and perceived social support were the important factors affecting their narrative ability ( t = 5.09 and 5.95, both P<0.05), which could account for 35.7% of the total variation of narrative competence. Conclusions:Nurses have narrative competence at low level in Luzhou. Managers should pay more attention to nurses who have poor level of perceived professional benefits and perceived social support, so as to keep the nurses′ mental health and improve nurses′ narrative competence by taking corresponding measures.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effects of 17β-estradiol (E2) on the regulation of the proliferation of condylar chondrocytes and provide a preliminary discussion on the role of phosphorylate-mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) in this regulatory process.
