ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness of midnight-noon ebb-low acupuncture by hour-prescription of points combined with western medicine for patients of Parkinson's disease with restless legs syndrome. MethodsSixty cases of Parkinson's disease with restless legs syndrome were divided into a control group and a treatment group randomly， with 30 cases in each group. The control group was given conventional western medicine treatment， and the treatment group was given the treatment of the control group with midnight-noon ebb-low acupuncture by hour-prescription of points based on Daling （PC 7）， Zhongzhu （TE 3）， Yanglingquan （GB 34）， Zusanli （ST 36）， and Sanyinjiao （SP 6） with perpendicular insertion， and Baihui （GV 20） with oblique insertion to the back，all of them used the manipulation of neutral reinforcement and reduction； Dudu （SP 2） and Taibai （SP 3） acupoints were inserted in accordance with the direction of the meridian travelling when the patients inhaled， and the needle was removed when exhaled； the time of acupuncture manipulation selected as Si time （9 AM-11 AM）， the needle stay for 30 mins each time， once a day， 5 times a week， a total of 4 weeks of treatment. The international restless legs severity scale （IRLSS）， Pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI）， Parkinson's disease quality of life questionnaire （PDQ-39）， and the International Movement Disorder Society unified Parkinson's disease rating scale part Ⅰ （MDS-UPDRS Ⅰ） were compared before and after the treatment， and the clinical effectiveness of the two groups were compared after the treatment. ResultsIRLSS scores， PSQI scores， PDQ-39 scores and MDS-UPDRS Ⅰ scores decreased in both groups after treatment compared to those before treatment （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After treatment， the total effective rate in the treatment group （83.3%， 25/30） was higher than that in the control group （60%， 18/30） （P＜0.05）. ConclusionAdding midnight-noon ebb-low acupuncture with hour-prescription of points on conventional western medicine treatment for Parkinson's disease with restless legs syndrome can significantly improve patients' clinical symptoms， sleep quality， quality of life， and enhance clinical effectiveness.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of hederagenin(HG)on glutamate(Glu)-in-duced ferroptosis and corresponding inflammatory responses in mouse hippocampal neuron HT22 cells and investigate its potential mechanisms.Methods HT22 cells were randomly divided into control,Glu and HG groups(n=3).The cells of the control group received no treatment,the cells of the Glu group were treated with 35 mmol/L Glu for 24 h to establish a cellular model of ferroptosis in Alzheimer's disease,and the cells of the HG group were treated with 0.5 μmol/L HG and 35 mmol/L Glu for 24 h simultaneously.FerroOrange fluorescent probe was used to de-tect intracellular Fe2+.The production of reactive oxygen species(ROS),mitochondrial membrane potential,and levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 in the cells were assessed.Finally,the expression of the key regulator of iron death,glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)was measured.Results Compared to the control group,the levels of intracellular Fe2+,ROS,TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 were significantly elevated,while the mitochondrial membrane potential was obvi-ously reduced in the Glu group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The HG group had significantly decreased Fe2+,ROS,TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 and enhanced mitochondrial membrane potential than the Glu group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The GPX4 expression was significantly lower in the Glu group than the control group(1.00±0.02 vs 0.46±0.04,P＜0.01),and was notably higher in the 0.5 and 1.0 μmol/L HG groups when compared to the Glu group(0.64±0.03 and 0.59±0.05 vs 0.46±0.04,P＜0.01).Conclusion HG inhibits ferroptosis by regulating GPX4 expression,and thereby effec-tively alleviates the inflammatory response.

Objective:To learn about the status of thyroid function and intelligence quotient (IQ) of children in areas with different iodine nutrition levels in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and to explore the health risk of children with median urinary iodine of 200 - 299 μg/L, and to provide a basis for scientific iodine supplementation.Methods:In May 2019, in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture were selected, where the median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years were 100 - 199 and 200 - 299 μg/L for three consecutive years (2017 - 2019). A stratified random sampling method was used to select 400 children aged 8 to 10 years in each of the two regions, urine and blood samples were collected to detect urinary iodine and thyroid function [thyrotropin stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT 4), free triiodothyronine (FT 3), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (TPOAb)]. At the same time, children's IQ was measured and determined by Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test (CRT-C2) in China and Second Revision of Combined Raven's Test for Children-the Rural, in China (CRT-RC2). Results:The median urinary iodine of children aged 8 to 10 years in Altay Prefecture and Kashgar Prefecture was 188.6 and 250.1 μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in thyroid function indexes TSH and FT 3 levels between the two regions ( Z = - 0.58, t = 0.49, P > 0.05), while there was statistically significant difference in FT 4 level ( t = 60.08, P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in TgAb positive rate [3.6% (14/394), 4.0% (16/399)] between the two regions (χ 2 = 0.11, P = 0.736), but the difference of TPOAb positive rate [9.6% (38/394), 30.6% (122/399)] was statistically significant (χ 2 = 53.93, P < 0.001), while the difference of dual antibody positive rate [0.8% (3/394), 2.0% (8/399)] was not statistically significant ( P = 0.134). There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rates of subclinical hypothyroidism [8.9% (35/394), 11.0% (44/399)], subclinical hyperthyroidism [1.0% (4/394), 1.3% (5/399)] and hyperthyroidism [0.3% (1/394), 0.8% (3/399)] in children between the two regions ( P > 0.05). The IQ results of children in the two regions were 96.55 ± 11.36 and 89.57 ± 12.35, respectively, and there was no significant difference between them ( t = 2.79, P = 0.095). Conclusions:The thyroid function status of children is similar in the two regions with median urinary iodine of 100 - 199 μg/L and 200 - 299 μg/L in children aged 8 to 10 years, but the TPOAb positive rate is significantly different. Children whose iodine nutritional level is at or above the appropriate level have no obvious changes in intelligence. It is suggested that median urinary iodine at 200 - 299 μg/L is a relatively safe iodine nutrition state.

Objective To determine the optimal dose of oxycodone for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) after gastrointestinal surgery when combined with dexmedetomidine in elderly patients.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 65-80 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,undergoing elective open gastrointestinal surgery,were divided into 3 different doses of oxycodone groups (group O1,group O2 and group O3,n=20 each) using a random number table.At 15 min before the end of surgery,oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg was intravenously injected,and PCIA pump was connected simultaneously.In O1,O2 and O3 groups,the PCIA solution contained dexmedetomidine 2.0 μg/kg and oxycodone 0.3,0.5 and 0.7 mg/kg in 100 ml of 0.9％ normal saline,respectively.The PCIA pump was set up to deliver a 0.5 ml bolus dose with a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2 ml/h.Oxycodone 0.05 mg/kg was intravenously injected as a rescue analgesic after surgery,postoperative pain was assessed using a verbal rating scale,and the verbal rating scale score was maintained ≤4.The number of successfully delivered doses and requirement for rescue analgesics were recorded within 48 h after surgery,and the rate of rescue analgesia was calculated.The occurrence of adverse reactions such as nausea,vomiting,dizziness,respiratory depression,somnolence,bradycardia,hypotension and over-sedation was recorded.Patients' satisfaction with analgesia at postoperative 72 h and the length of postoperative hospital stay were also recorded.Results Compared with group O1,the rate of rescue analgesia after surgery and the number of successfully delivered doses were significantly decreased,and the degree of patients' satisfaction with analgesia was increased in O2 and O3 groups,and the incidence of nausea and somnolence was significantly increased in group O3 (P＜0.05).Compared with group O2,no significant change was found in the rate of rescue analgesia after surgery or the number of successfully delivered doses (P＞0.05),and the incidence of nausea and somnolence was increased in group O3 (P＜0.05).Conclusion When combined with dexmedetomidine 2.0 μg/kg,the optimal dose of oxycodone for PCIA is 0.5 mg/kg after gastrointestinal surgery in elderly patients.

Objective To investigate the iodine nutrition level of vulnerable people in Inner Mongolia after adjustment of iodized salt standard and to provide theoretical bases for scientific iodine supplementation. Methods In 2013, 3 cities were selected from eastern, central and western parts of Inner Mongolia in accordance with the random number table, 3 or 4 counties were selected from each target city, 5 units according to their sub-area position of east, south, west, north and center were selected from each county, and then 1 township was selected from each unit, 5 groups of target population including school children aged 8- 10, women of childbearing age, pregnant and lactating women and infants each at least 10 people were investigated in each township. Edible salt samples from their homes and urine samples were collected. The direct titration method among the generic methods of iodide testing for salt production industry (GB/T 13025.7-2012) was used to determine the salt iodine level, and As3+-Ce4+catalytic spectrophotometry using ammonium per sulfate digestion (WS/T 107-2009) was used to test the urinary iodine level. Results Totally 3 300 samples of edible salt from local residents had been examined and median iodine was 26.20 mg/kg. The median of urinary iodine was 190.6μg/L of 1 289 school-age children;was 183.6μg/L of 621 women of childbearing age; was 178.2 μg/L o f 876 pregnant women; was 178.6 μg/L of 664 lactating women and was 167.7μg/L of 599 infants. Conclusion After adjustment of iodized salt standard, iodine nutrition level is suitable in all vulnerable people.

This study was aimed to establish an inspection method for the limited quantity of aconitine and the content determination of schisandrol in Yi-Shen Xiao-Zhong(YSXZ) pill.Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used to inspect the limited quantity of aconitine in YSXZ pill.The content of schisandrol was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The results showed that the identification method of the limited quantity of aconitine and the content determination method of schisandrol were established.Compared to the correspondent position of the control chromatography,the limited quantity of aconitine was 2.5μg,which was much lower than the dose of inducing toxic reaction.It can be used in the limited quantity control of aconitine for toxic reaction in YSXZ pill.The calibration curve of schisandrol was linear at 2.92-95.36μg·mL-1.The regression equation wasy = 18.630x + 2.556 (r = 1).The average recovery was 95.10% and RSD was 1.55% (n = 6).It was concluded that the established method for the inspection and content determination of aconitine and schisandrol was simple,accurate and reproducible.It can be used in the quality control of YSXZ pill.

Objective To investigate the relationship between CRP, plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 gene promoter 4G/5G polymorphism and the type of acute myocardial infarction (ST elevation myocardial infarction, STEMI vs the non-ST elevation Myocardial infarction, NSTEMI). Methods One hundred seventy-six consecutive patients with AMI were included for the study, of whom 60 had STEMI and 56 had NSTEMI, and 60 adults without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease were selected as controls. Blood samples were obtained from patients within 6 h of AMI and the plasma PAI-1, CRP, and the gene polymorphism were measured. Results Plasma levels of PAI-1 and CRP were higher in AMI groups, compared those in the control group, and plasma levels of PAI-1 were significantly higher in patients with STEMI compared to those with NSTEMI (80.12ng/ml VS.73.01ng/ml, P <0.01), while CRP levels were not significantly different between patient with STEMI and NSTEMI (3.87±0.79 mg/ml VS.4.01±0.69mg/ml, P>0.05). PAI-1 levels presented a significant correlation with CRP levels in the NSTEMI subjects. However, PAI-1 and CRP levels could explain the lack of a significant relationship between them in control and STEMI subjects.The frequencies of 4G/4G genotype in the AMI group were higher than those in the control group and higher in patient with STEMI than in patient with NSTEMI. Plasma levels of PAI-1 in subjects with 4G/4G genotype were significantly increased as compared to those in subjects with 4G/5G and 5G/5G genotype. Conclusions Plasma PAI-1 levels were associated with different myocardial infarction type, and PAI-1 promoter 4G/5G polymorphisms and CRP may be related to plasma PAI-1 levels.

objective To explore the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency of adiponectin(APN)in patients with type Ⅱ diabetes(T2DM)and its complications,investigate whether the SNP is a risk factor of inheritance of T2DM,and to set up a highly efficient.accurate, economical and practical screening assay to detect the mutation of APN in clinical practice.Methods According to the diagnostic criteria of T2DM,patients with coronary heart disease(CHD),hypertension (HP),and diabetic nephropathy(NE)were recruited into this study.In simple,12DM group,T2DM-HP, T2DM-CHD.T2DM-NE and the control group.serum biochemistry items are measured.The technique of denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC)was used to detect SNPs of ANP gene.Results After all fragments amplified in the reglen of promoter of APN gene were compared with APN GeneID:9370 sequence recorded in GenBank,point mutation has been identified(-11377G/C).The frequency of genotypes of GG,GC,and CC are 5.16%,42.25%,52.58%and 3.4%.32.75%,63.85%,respectively in the groups of T2DM and control.The frequency of G allele was related to the incidence of T2DM,and is a risk factor of T2DM.The relative risk of GC to CC in developing T2DM is much high than that in the control group (OR=0.55).By comparing the clinical data of different groups of genotype in T2DM,it was observed that the genotype affected systolic blood pressure,BMI,abdominal circumference, and waist-buttock ratio(P=0.015).After optimizing the experimental conditions.it was found column temperature 6 0℃ was the best when using DHPLC technology to estimate SNP of APN gene.Conclusion SNP (-11377G/C) of APN gene G allele has a definite correlation with complications of hypertension in T2DM patients,and may contribute to the genetic risk for type 2 diabetes.
