Objective:To evaluate the effect of prior statins use on the in-hospital mortality of adult sepsis patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).Methods:A total of 3 545 sepsis patients with T2DM were retrospectively collected from the Critical Care Medical Information Market (MIMIC Ⅳ) database, with in-hospital mortality rate as the outcome variable. According to whether they have taken statins in the past, they were divided into two groups and propensity score matching was used. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to calculate the adjusted hazard ratio ( HR) and 95% CI, and the relationship between past statins use and in-hospital mortality in sepsis patients with T2DM was analyzed. Results:A total of 3 545 sepsis patients with T2DM were included between 2008 and 2016. 1 556 patients used statins before admission, and 1 989 patients did not use statins. After propensity score matching, the number of patients who had previously used statins and those who had not used statins were 1 230 and 1 298, respectively. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, it was found that previous use of statins was associated with a reduced in-hospital mortality rate ( HR=0.82, 95% CI: 0.61-0.99, P=0.038). Kaplan Meier curves showed that sepsis patients with T2DM who used statins before admission had a lower in-hospital mortality rate (Log rank test: P<0.001). Conclusions:Pre admission use of statins may be associated with a reduced mortality rate in sepsis patients with concomitant T2DM.

Fear memory contextualization is critical for selecting adaptive behavior to survive. Contextual fear conditioning (CFC) is a classical model for elucidating related underlying neuronal circuits. The primary visual cortex (V1) is the primary cortical region for contextual visual inputs, but its role in CFC is poorly understood. Here, our experiments demonstrated that bilateral inactivation of V1 in mice impaired CFC retrieval, and both CFC learning and extinction increased the turnover rate of axonal boutons in V1. The frequency of neuronal Ca2+ activity decreased after CFC learning, while CFC extinction reversed the decrease and raised it to the naïve level. Contrary to control mice, the frequency of neuronal Ca2+ activity increased after CFC learning in microglia-depleted mice and was maintained after CFC extinction, indicating that microglial depletion alters CFC learning and the frequency response pattern of extinction-induced Ca2+ activity. These findings reveal a critical role of microglia in neocortical information processing in V1, and suggest potential approaches for cellular-based manipulation of acquired fear memory.

Twenty-four hours after SAH, the amount of iron deposited in the cerebral cortex of rats in the four groups was statistically significant ( F=2 363.0, P<0.001). The iron deposition in the cerebral cortex of rats in the SAH group was significantly higher than those in Sham group and SAH+ CTX group (both P<0.05). There were significant differences in iron content, MDA content, GSH content and GPX4 activity in the cerebral cortex of the four groups 24 h after SAH( F=2 380.0, 1 322.0, 789.1, 815.5, all P<0.001). The content of iron and MDA in the cerebral cortex of rats in SAH group were significantly higher than those in Sham group, while the content of GSH and the activity of GPX4 were significantly lower than those in Sham group (all P<0.05). The content of iron and MDA in the cerebral cortex of rats in SAH+ CTX group were lower than those in SAH group, and the content of GSH and the activity of GPX4 were higher than those in SAH group (all P<0.05). At 24 h after SAH, the expression levels of Nrf2 and GPX4 protein in the cerebral cortex of the four groups were statistically significant ( F=888.7, 1 556.0, both P<0.001).

Objective:To explore the effects of enriched environment combined with melatonin on learning and memory function and DNA oxidative damage in senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice.Methods:Twenty-four 6-month-old SPF healthy male SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into model group, enriched environment group, melatonin group and enriched environment+ melatonin group, with 6 mice in each group. Six homologous SAMR1 mice of the same age were used as the control group. The mice in the enriched environment group and the enriched environment+ melatonin group were fed in the enriched environment. At the same time, the mice in the melatonin group and the enriched environment+ melatonin group were subcutaneously injected with melatonin (8 mg /(kg·d)) once a day for 28 d. The mice in the model group, the control group and the enriched environment group were subcutaneously injected with an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution once a day for 28 days. Aging score was used to evaluate the aging of mice. Morris water maze and Y maze tests were used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of mice. The cell morphology of hippocampus in mice was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the level of Aβ 1-42 protein in hippocampus of mice was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The levels of γ-H2A histone family member X(γ-H2AX) and 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) proteins in hippocampus of mice were detected by Western blot and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. SPSS 25.0 statistical software was used to process the data. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among multiple groups, and LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:(1)There was a statistical difference in aging scores among the 5 groups of mice after intervention ( F=126.4, P<0.01). After intervention, the aging scores of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were lower than that in the model group (all P<0.05), and the score of the enriched environment+ melatonin group was significantly lower than that in the enriched environment group ( P<0.05). (2)The time and group interaction, group main effect and time main effect of the escape latency among the 5 groups of mice were statistically significant ( F=11.2, 799.9, 121.8, all P<0.01). From day 2 to day 4, the escape latencies of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly lower than that in the model group (all P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the target quadrant residence time and cross-platform times among the 5 groups ( F=70.38, 48.83, both P<0.01). The target quadrant residence time and cross-platform times of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly higher than that in the model group (all P<0.05). (3) There were significant differences in the total number of alternations and correct rates among the 5 groups ( F=291.328, 113.482, both P<0.01). The total numbers of alternations and correct rates in melatonin group ((29.46±3.75)times, (53.16±3.47)%) and the enriched environment+ melatonin group((32.57±3.52)times, (58.60±4.13)%)were significantly higher than those in the model group ((18.62±3.96)times, (43.61±3.92) %)(all P<0.05). (4)The results of hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry staining showed that compared with the model group, the cell structure and morphology of the hippocampus of mice in enriched environment group, melatonin group, and enriched environment+ melatonin group were significantly improved, and the expression of Aβ 1-42 was significantly reduced (all P<0.05). (5) There were statistically significant differences in the levels of γ-H2AX and 8-OHdG proteins in the hippocampus of the 5 groups of mice ( F=78.09, 117.20, both P<0.01). The levels of γ-H2AX and 8-OHdG of mice in the enriched environment+ melatonin group ((1.37±0.26), (4.79±0.35)pg/μg) were significantly lower than those in the enriched environment group ((2.83±0.25), (7.23±0.41)pg/μg) and the melatonin group ((2.43±0.22), (6.69±0.28)pg/μg) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Both enriched environment and melatonin can significantly improve the learning and memory function of SAMP8 mice, and the combined treatment effect is more significant.The mechanism may be related to the reduction of DNA oxidative damage in hippocampus.

BACKGROUND:
Bone defect difficult to manage clinically and it is a big challenge to repair it. Secondary metabolites source from herb has shown potential for the treatment of bone defect.
METHODS:
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were isolated from mice and incubated with urolithin A (UA) (10, 25, and 50 lg/mL). 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed to estimate apoptosis and mineralisation was evaluated by alkaline phosphatase assay and alizarin red S staining. A middle femoral defect was induced in mice and bone tissue was prepared for endochondral ossification by treating with UA. The effect of UA was estimated by determining markers of osteoblast proliferation in serum and micro-computed tomography to analyse bone defects.
RESULTS:
UA enhanced mineralisation of MSCs and osteogenic gene markers in MSCs in vitro. Also, the bone defect score and bone mineral density were improved by UA. Moreover, UA ameliorated the altered Wnt3a protein and histopathological changes in bone defect mice.
CONCLUSION
Presented report conclude that UA enhances osteoblast proliferation in bone-defect mice by activating the Wnt pathway.

Objective:To explore the effects and possible mechanisms of melatonin combined with enriched environment on the learning and memory ability of senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8(SAMP8).Methods:Forty-eight SAMP8 male mice aged 4 months were randomly divided into model group, enriched environment group, melatonin group and melatonin combined with enriched environment group (combined intervention group) by random number table method, with 12 mice in each group. Mice in the melatonin group and combined intervention group were subcutaneously injected with melatonin at a dose of 8 mg·kg -1·d -1, and the mice in the model group and the enriched environment group were given the same amount of normal saline instead.The mice in model group and melatonin group were raised in a standard environment, and the mice in enriched environment group and combined intervention group were raised in an enriched environment.The intervention lasted 28 days. The aging degree of mice was scored before and 28 days after the intervention. Morris water maze test was used to detect the learning and memory ability of mice. Nissl staining and TUNEL staining were used to observe the Nissl staining positive cells and apoptotic cells in the CA1 area of hippocampus.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the hippocampus of mice. Western blot was used to detect the levels of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) 1-42, microtubule-associated protein tau (tau) phosphorylated at threonine (Thr) 205 (Tau pT205), Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 protein in the hippocampus of mice. qRT-PCR was used to detect the levels of TLR4, NF-κB p65 mRNA in the hippocampus of mice.

The results of the space exploration experiment showed that the residence time in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings of mice in the four groups were significantly different ( F=291.328, 113.482, both P<0.01). The residence time in the target quadrant ((29.45±1.70)s, (32.44±1.55)s, (37.48±0.84) s) and the number of platform crossings ((6.44±0.61) times, (7.16±0.70) times, (12.60±1.23) times) of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group and combined intervention group were higher than those in the model group ((15.07±1.28) s, (4.10±0.61) times), while the residence time in the target quadrant and the number of platform crossings of mice in the enriched environment group and the melatonin group were significantly lower than those in the combined intervention group (all P<0.05). (3) Nissl and TUNEL staining showed that the number of Nissl positive neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice in the four groups were significantly different ( F=809.264, P<0.01), and the number of apoptotic cells in the hippocampal CA1 region were also significantly different ( F=1 060.583, P<0.01). The number of Nissl stained positive neurons in the hippocampal CA1 region of mice in the combined intervention group was more than those in the model group, enriched environment group, and melatonin group (all P<0.05), and the number of apoptotic cells were less than those in the model group, enriched environment group, and melatonin group (all P<0.05). (4) The results of ELISA assay showed that there were significantly different in the levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus of mice in the four groups ( F=152.887, 63.506, 432.026, all P<0.01). The contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and combined intervention group were lower than those in the model group(all P<0.05). Among them, the contents of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group and melatonin group were significantly higher than those in the combined intervention group (all P<0.05). (5) Western blot analysis showed that there were significantly different in the protein expression levels of Aβ1~42, tau pT205, TLR4, NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice in the four groups ( F=122.349, 98.934, 201.635, 116.553, all P<0.01). The protein expression levels of Aβ1-42, tau pT205, TLR4, and NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group, and combined intervention group were lower than those in the model group.Among them, the protein expression levels of Aβ1-42, tau pT205, TLR4, NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group and melatonin group were significantly higher than those in the combined intervention group (all P<0.05). (6) qRT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice in the four groups were significantly different ( F=42.913, 102.446, both P<0.01). The mRNA expression levels of TLR4 ((0.63±0.05), (0.55±0.04), (0.42±0.03)) and NF-κB p65 ((0.98±0.06), (0.82±0.04), (0.72±0.04)) in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group, melatonin group and combined intervention group were lower than those in the model group ((0.74±0.07), (1.20±0.05)) (all P<0.05). Among them, the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in the hippocampus of mice in the enriched environment group and melatonin group were significantly higher than those in the combined intervention group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Melatonin combined with enriched environment can improve the learning and memory ability and neuroinflammatory response of SAMP8 mice, and its mechanism may be related with the down-regulation of TLR4/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway.

Conclusions:After IL-6 treatment, the phenotype and function of HUVECS showed the characteristics of mesenchymal cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The inflammatory factor can promote the process of EndMT, and become one of the important factors regulating the mechanism of tissue fibrosis.

To compare the complications during and after operation and the risk degree of complications between the two groups by Clavein-Dindo classification standard, the age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, past history of pelvic surgery, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade, preoperative anemia, number of pelvic lymph node resection, number of abdominal aortic lymph node resection, the total number of lymph node resection, operation time, surgical methods (robot surgery or traditional laparoscopic surgery) and other clinicopathological data were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.
Results:
(1) Complications of operation: the incidence of operative complications (including intraoperative and postoperative complications) in robot group was significantly lower than that in traditional laparoscopy group [(20.6%, 27/131) vs (34.8%, 101/290); χ2=8.620,

As China has not yet established a sound regional trauma treatment system and standardized trauma centers at all levels, the trauma treatment capability in China is poorer than that in the developed countries. At present, Shaanxi Province has not established a regional trauma treatment system and standardized trauma centers at all levels. Based on the analysis of the characteristics of geography, population and social environment in Shaanxi Province, the authors explore the concept of the trauma treatment system and the construction of trauma centers at all levels in Shaanxi Province on the platform of the trauma center of Shaanxi People's Hospital ( Grade I trauma center) . The authors clarify the respective hardware facilities, team structure, treatment process and quality control goals, training and management system of professional trauma teams in trauma centers at all levels, so as to provide reference for improving the overall level of trauma treatment in Shaanxi Province.
