BACKGROUND:Current studies have confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can promote nerve regeneration in neurodegeneration-related diseases.The occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases is closely related to mitochondrial dysfunction,but the role of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on the regulation of apoptosis and mitochondrial function in neurodegenerative diseases is not yet clarified. OBJECTIVE:To explore the regulatory effects and mechanisms of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides on apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in H2O2-induced SH-SY5Y cells. METHODS:SH-SY5Y cells were divided into three groups:control group,H2O2 group,and Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group.Cells in the control group were normally cultured.Cells in the H2O2 group were treated with 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.In the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group,the intervention with 300 μg/L Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides was conducted first for 1-2 hours,followed by the addition of 300 μmol/L H2O2 for 24 hours.The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 kit.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining kit.The activities of malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase were detected by malondialdehyde test kit and superoxide dismutase test kit,respectively.The apoptosis and expression of mitochondrial dynamics-related proteins were detected by immunofluorescence staining and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activity were significantly reduced,as well as apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly increased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).After treatment with Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides,the membrane potential and superoxide dismutase activities were significantly increased,and apoptotic rate and malondialdehyde levels were significantly reduced compared with the H2O2 group(P<0.05).(2)The expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly increased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly decreased in the H2O2 group compared with the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,the levels of Bax and Caspase-3 were significantly decreased,but the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the control group,the expression of mitochondrial splitting proteins Fis1 and p-Drp1 was significantly increased,but the expression of mitochondrial fusion proteins OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 was decreased in the H2O2 group(P<0.05).Compared with the H2O2 group,Fis1 and p-Drp1 expression was significantly reduced,but the expression levels of OPA1,Mfn1,and Mfn2 were significantly increased in the Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides group(P<0.05).(4)The above results confirm that Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can attenuate H2O2-induced oxidative stress damage and apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells by ameliorating mitochondrial dysfunction.

Objective: To investigate the effects of lactoprotein iron chelates on rats with iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), so as to provide insights into developing and utilizing novel iron supplements. Methods: Seventy weaning female SPF-graded rats of the SD strain were randomly divided into the control group (A), model group (B), ferrous sulfate group (C), lactoferrin group (D), lactoferrin iron chelate group (E), Casein oligopeptide iron chelate group (F) and whey protein oligopeptide iron chelate group (G), with 10 rats in each group. The rats in group A were fed with normal diet, and the others were fed with poor iron diet for IDA modeling. The corresponding interventions were given by intragastric administration once a day. The iron ion concentrations of group C, E, F and G were 2.0 mg/kg, and the protein and oligopeptide concentrations of group D, E, F and G were 2 000 mg/kg. Body weight and hemoglobin of rats were measured weekly during 21-day intervention. At the end, peripheral blood samples were collected, and blood routine, iron metabolism and liver function indicators were determined. Results: After the intervention, among blood routine indicators, the rats in group C, E, F and G showed elevated hemoglobin, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume and hematocrit, and decreased free protoporphyrin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration when compared with the rats in group B (all P<0.05); among iron metabolism indicators, the rats in group C, E and G showed elevated serum ferritin, the rats in group C, E, F and G showed elevated serum iron, the rats in group C, D, E, F and G showed decreased unsaturated iron binding capacity and total iron binding capacity when compared with the rats in group B (all P<0.05); among liver function indicators, the rats in group E and G showed decreased alanine transaminase when compared with the rats in group B (both P<0.05). Conclusions Lactoprotein alone could not completely improve IDA in rats compared with traditional iron supplement (ferrous sulfate). Lactoprotein iron chelate, especially whey protein oligopeptide iron chelate, could significantly improve IDA, iron reserve and liver function damage in rats.

Objective:To optimize the topological design of locking plate for distal radial fracture so that the internal fixation stiffness can be customized.Methods:Models of both the distal radial fracture and the conventional locking plate fixation were constructed using software for three-dimensional modeling and computer-aided design. Based on the data from our previous finite element analysis, a decrease of 33.33% in axial stiffness but retention of more than 90.00% in torsional stiffness were defined as the optimization limits. The conventional plate was redesigned by way of topological optimization iterations. Finite element analysis was done to compare stiffness and interfragmentary strain (IFS) between the new optimized design and conventional design of the locking plate under both compressive and torsional loads.Results:The axial stiffness of the optimized plate was 636.5 N/mm with a downgrading magnitude of 19.7% which was close to the given limit; the torsional stiffness was 634.12 Nmm/° with a downgrading magnitude of 8.8% which remained under the given limit. In the optimized design, a more significant increase was observed in axial IFS than that in shear IFS, leading to a similar effect as the stiffness regulation did.Conclusion:The optimized design of locking plate for distal radial fracture can provide a reliable solution for customized regulation of the internal fixation stiffness.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of microRNA-29b(miR-29b)for left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods:From January 2015 to December 2018, 140 elderly patients with CHD admitted in our hospital were enrolled, including 70 CHD patients without LVH(the NLVH group)and 70 CHD patients with LVH(the LVH group). Seventy healthy elderly adults without CHD who underwent heart examination at our hospital during the same period were included as the control group.The interventricular septum thickness(IVSD), left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LVPWD) and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b were detected and compared among the three groups.The correlation of microRNA-29b with IVSD and LVPWD was analyzed, and the diagnostic value of microRNA-29b for LVH in elderly CHD patients was analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in IVSD, LVPWD and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b among the three groups( F=22.838, 22.147 and 114.096, all P=0.000). The IVSD, LVPWD and the relative expression level of microRNA-29b were higher in the LVH group than in the NLVH group( t=3.479, 3.206 and 9.852, all P=0.000)and than in the control group( t=3.904, 3.553 and 10.792, all P=0.000). The relative expression level of microRNA-29b was higher in the NLVH group than in the control group( t=2.306, P=0.420). The receiver-operating characteristics(ROC)curve analysis of microRNA-29b for the diagnosis of LVH in elderly CHD patients showed that the maximum entry point of Youden index was 0.80, the optimal critical value was 3.52, the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of LVH was 91.73% and 88.27%.Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expression level of microRNA-29b was positively correlated with IVSD and LVPWD( r=0.63 and 0.61, P=0.000). Conclusions:The expression level of microRNA-29b is significantly increased in elderly CHD patients with LVH, and positively correlated with IVSD and LVPWD.The expression level of microRNA-29b has high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of LVH in elderly CHD patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application of 3D printing and digital technology in preoperative assessment and planning of internal fixation surgery for complex tibial plateau fracture.

METHODSComplex tibial plateau fractures and commonly used plates for tibial plateau were imaged using computed tomography (CT) to reconstruct the 3D fracture and plate models. The 3D models were used to perform virtual reduction and preoperative planning of internal fixation surgery with the most appropriate plates assisted by the 3D library of plates. According to the optimal plan, the 3D physical models of tibial plateau fractures and plates were 3D printed to simulate internal fixation operation. The effects of internal fixation were compared between the virtual surgery and the simulated surgery based on the 3D models.

RESULTSThe effects of internal fixation in the simulated surgery based on the 3D models were consistent with those of the virtual surgery. No significant difference was found in the screw length between the two surgeries.

CONCLUSIONThe combination of 3D printing and digital design can improve the effects of internal fixation for complex tibial plateau fractures.
