ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effects of Suanzaoren Tang on depression model rats induced by isolation combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS), and to examine its influence on the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/proto-oncogene protein (c-Myc)/tumor suppressor protein 53 (p53) signaling pathway, thereby revealing its potential functional mechanism. MethodsA total of 72 male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups using a strict random number table: blank group, model group, fluoxetine group (3.6 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose Suanzaoren Tang groups (10, 5, 2.5 g·kg-1),with 12 rats in each group. A depression model was established using isolation combined with CUMS. Fluoxetine and different doses of Suanzaoren Tang were administered continuously for 28 days. Behavioral indicators such as sucrose water consumption and open field test scores were recorded. Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were employed to analyze the expression of key proteins in the JNK/c-Myc/p53 signaling pathway, and the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was used to evaluate the number of apoptotic cells in the hippocampus. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited a significantly reduced sucrose preference index (P<0.01), a lower total score of horizontal and vertical movements in the open field test (P<0.01), significantly increased expression of JNK, c-Myc, and p53 proteins in the hippocampus (P<0.01), and a higher number of TUNEL-positive cells in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the sucrose preference index and the total score of horizontal and vertical movements in the open field test significantly increased in the high- and medium-dose Suanzaoren Tang groups and the fluoxetine group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of JNK, c-Myc, and p53 proteins significantly decreased in all Suanzaoren Tang groups (high, medium, and low doses) and the fluoxetine group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The number of TUNEL-positive cells in the hippocampus also significantly decreased in these groups (P<0.01). ConclusionSuanzaoren Tang can regulate the expression of JNK/c-Myc/p53 proteins in the hippocampus of depression model rats, and its antidepressant mechanism may be related to its protective effect on hippocampal neurons.

Objective:To study the effect of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection on the standardized dose of postoperative thyrotropin suppression of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.Methods:A total of 82 patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma and receiving total thyroidectomy in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2020 were enrolled in this study prospectively.19 patients with higher standardized dose of the thyrotropin suppression (>2.5 μg·kg -1·d -1) were selected as the experimental group, and 63 patients with the lower standardized dose of the thyrotropin suppression (≤2.5 μg·kg -1·d -1) were selected as the control group. The presence of HP infection was measured by C13 method, and the HP infection rate was compared between the two groups. The patients with HP infection in the experimental group received standard quadruple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori. The standardized dose before and after treatment were observed and compared. Results:The HP infection rate in the experimental group (73.7%, 14/19) were significantly higher ( P<0.05) than those in the control group (31.7%, 20/63). In the experimental group, 14 patients with HP infection in the experimental group received standard quadruple therapy to eradicate HP. HP was successfully eradicated in 11 patients after the treatment (one patient quit the treatment before completion, the actual eradication rate was 84.6%) ; Eight weeks after the treatment, the dose adjustment of thyrotropin suppression reached steady-state in 13 patients completed the therapy. The average standardized dose was (2.15±0.25) μg·kg -1·d -1, significantly lower than that before treatment [ (2.89±0.21) μg·kg -1·d -1] ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:HP infection may be an important factor affecting the standardized dose of thyrotropin suppression in postoperative patients with thyroid cancer. For those patients with HP infection, eradication treatment of HP can significantly reduce the standardized dose and treatment-related complications.

By analyzing the physiological structure and motion characteristics of human ankle joint, a four degree of freedom generalized spherical parallel mechanism is proposed to meet the needs of ankle rehabilitation. Using the spiral theory to analyze the motion characteristics of the mechanism and based on the method of describing the position with spherical coordinates and the posture with Euler Angle, the inverse solution of the closed vector equation of mechanism position is established. The workspace of mechanism is analyzed according to the constraint conditions of inverse solution. The workspace of the moving spherical center of the mechanism is used to match the movement space of the tibiotalar joint, and the workspace of the dynamic platform is used to match the movement space of subtalar joint. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the key scale parameters of the mechanism. The results show that the workspace of the generalized spherical parallel mechanism can satisfy the actual movement space of human ankle joint rehabilitation. The results of this paper can provide theoretical basis and experimental reference for the design of ankle joint rehabilitation robot with high matching degree.

Low targeting efficiency limits the applications of nanoparticles in cancer therapy. The fact that mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) trapped in the lung after systemic infusion is a disadvantage for cell therapy purposes. Here, we utilized MSC as lung cancer-targeted drug delivery vehicles by loading nanoparticles (NP) with anti-cancer drug. MSC showed a higher drug intake capacity than fibroblasts. In addition, MSC showed predominant lung trapping in both rabbit and monkey. IR-780 dye, a fluorescent probe used to represent docetaxel (DTX) in NP, delivered MSC accumulated in the lung. Both MSC/A549 cell experiments and MSC/lung cancer experiments validated the intercellular transportation of NP between MSC and cancer cells. assays showed that the MSC/NP/DTX drug delivery system exerted primary tumor inhibition efficiency similar to that of a NP/DTX drug system. Collectively, the MSC/NP drug delivery system is promising for lung-targeted drug delivery for the treatment of lung cancer and other lung-related diseases.

Objective To study the sedative and analgesic effects of butorphanol combined with midazolam on critically ill patients treated by mechanical ventilation. Methods Fifty-eight patients who received mechanical ventilation, sedation and analgesia in intensive care unit (ICU) of Affiliated Huaian No.1 Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2012 to December 2013 were enrolled. The patients were divided into a single midazolam group (30 cases) and a combination of butorphanol and midazolam group (combination with butorphanol group, 28 cases) according to the difference in types of sedative. The sedation for patients in the single midazolam group was induced firstly by intravenous injection of 0.05-0.10 mg/kg midazolam and followed by continuous infusion of the same drug 0.05 - 0.15 mg·kg-1·h-1 with a micro injection pump. The patients in the combination with butorphanol group were given a loading dose of butorphanol 10μg/kg and followed by continuous infusion of 10-20μg·kg-1·h-1 butorphanol combined with 0.05 - 0.15 mg·kg-1·h-1 midazolam by a micro pump. The Ramsay anesthesia score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate the sedative and analgesic effects. According to the Ramsay score, the sedation depths of patients in the two groups were maintained at 2-4 grades, and reassessed every 1-2 hours. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and pulse blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) were observed before and after the drug administration in two groups. Results There were no statistically significant differences in MAP, HR and SpO2 between single midazolam group and combination with butorphanol group before treatment [MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa): 121.3±6.2 vs. 118.6±8.7, HR (bpm):129.5±14.1 vs. 125.5±16.3, SpO2:0.744±0.112 vs. 0.756±0.131, all P>0.05]. Compared with those before treatment, after treatment, the above indexes in two groups were significantly improved, the differences being statistically significant [single midazolam group:MAP (mmHg) 88.7±6.5 vs. 121.3±6.2, HR (bpm) 85.3±13.4 vs. 129.5±14.1, SpO2 0.937±0.056 vs. 0.744±0.112; combination with butorphanol group: MAP (mmHg) 82.6±7.3 vs. 118.6±8.7, HR (bpm) 89.6±14.7 vs. 125.5±16.3, SpO2 0.943±0.078 vs. 0.756±0.131, all P < 0.05], and the degree of improvement of the combination with butorphanol group was better than that of the single midazolam group. The initial acting time of drugs and the time awakening from anesthesia in the combination with butorphanol group were shorter significantly than those in the single midazolam group (minutes: 33.6±6.2 vs. 73.3±12.2, 71.8±19.3 vs. 103.5±30.1, both P < 0.05), and the incidence of adverse reaction was lower obviously than that in the single midazolam group (0 vs.13.3%, P < 0.05). Furthermore, the score of VAS in the combination with butorphanol group was lower significantly than that in single midazolam group (8.4±1.2 vs. 2.4±0.8, P < 0.05). Conclusions Butorphanol combined with midazolam for treatment of critically ill patients with mechanical ventilation is a very effective sedative method, which may improve the degree of patients' tolerance towards the measure and reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.
