ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Naoxin'an capsule against mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage in brains of rats with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) induced by chronic cerebral ischemia. MethodA total of 150 rats were randomized into modeling group (130 rats) and sham-operated group (20 rats) with the random number table method. The two-vessel occlusion (2-VO) was employed to induce VCI in rats, and finally 87 rats developed VCI. The VCI rats were classified into model group, positive drug group (Aricept, 0.5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium- and high-dose Naoxin'an capsule groups (0.18, 0.36, 0.72 g·kg-1, separately), with 17-18 rats in each group. The administration lasted 8 weeks. The learning and working memory of VCI rats were assayed by novel object recognition test and Y-maze test. The 8-oxoguanine (8-OxoG) level was measured based on immunofluorescence staining. Spectrophotometry was performed to determine the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, mitochondrial swelling, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (KGDH). The submicroscopic structure of mitochondria was observed with electron microscope. The phosphorylation of cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB) and the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1), and mitochondrial transcription factor A (mt-TFA) were determined by Western blot. The mitochondrial status Ⅳ H2O2 generation, activity of cerebral superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were measured with the photochemical method. ResultCompared with the sham-operated group, model group showed decrease in new object discrimination index (P<0.01) and spontaneous alternation rate in the Y-maze test (P<0.01), increase in ROS production in the brain (P<0.01), reduction in MMP and mitochondrial swelling A value (P<0.01), obvious mitochondrial swelling, vacuoles and cristae fractures in mitochondria, decrease in the level of phosphorylated CREB, expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and mt-TFA (P<0.01), and activity of the respiratory chain complexes Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ (P<0.01), PDH and KGDH in the brain (P<0.01), rise of the production of H2O2 at state IV (P<0.01) and the content of MDA (P<0.01), and reduction in the activity of SOD and GSH-Px (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each dose of Naoxin'an capsules can improve the new object discrimination index (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the rate of spontaneous alternation (P<0.05, P<0.01), decrease ROS production in the brain (P<0.01), improve the MMP and swelling A value (P<0.05, P<0.01), alleviate mitochondrial swelling and mitochondrial submicroscopic damage, elevate the phosphorylated CREB level, the expression of PGC-1α, NRF-1 and mt-TFA (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes Ⅲ, and Ⅳ, PDH and KGDH (P<0.01), decrease state Ⅳ H2O2 generation (P<0.01) and MDA content (P<0.05, P<0.01), and raise the activity of SOD and GSH-Px (P<0.01). ConclusionBy activating the CREB/PGC-1α pathway, Naoxin'an capsule can protect the structure and function of mitochondria, enhance the antioxidant capacity, and inhibit the mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative damage induced by chronic cerebral ischemia, thus improving the VCI.

Objective To evaluate the effect of applying sitting posture corrector on improving reading and writing posture of elementary school students, and provide scientific evidence for prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents. Methods One elementary school each in urban and suburban areas of Shanghai was selected using a convenience sampling strategy. Furthermore, two classes each in Grade 3 and 4 were selected as the intervention group (282 students were included in the study), and the other two classes each in Grades 3 and 4 were selected as the control group (294 students were included in the study). Students in the intervention group used the sitting posture corrector in the classrooms for 4 months (from September 2020 to January 2021), while those in the control group did not use the sitting posture corrector. Relevant data were collected before and after the intervention through a self-administered questionnaire and visual examination. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test and generalized estimating equation. Results Before the intervention, 13.5% (38/282) of students in the intervention group and 12.2% (36/294) in the control group had good reading and writing posture ( χ 2 = 0.195, P >0.659). After the intervention, 18.4% (52/282) of students in the intervention group had good reading and writing posture, which was higher than that (11.2%, 33/294) in the control group ( χ 2=5.957, P =0.015). Before and after the intervention, there was no significant differences in the prevalence of myopia between students in the intervention and control groups (all P >0.05). Generalized estimating equation analysis showed that students in the intervention group were 1.502 times more likely to have good reading and writing posture than those in the control group after the intervention ( P =0.043). Conclusion Applying sitting posture corrector in schools could improve students' reading and writing posture.

Objective To study the impact of interposed abdominal pulling-pressing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IAPP-CPR) for patients with cardiac arrest (CA). Methods A prospective study was conducted. A total of 122 CA patients admitted to Department of Emergency of Shandong Provincial Mining Industry Group Company Central Hospital from July 2013 to December 2017 were enrolled. They were divided into standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation (S-CPR) group (n = 62) and IAPP-CPR group (n = 60) according to order of admission. The patients in S-CPR group received external cardiac compression, open airway, endotracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, routine drug rescue, and defibrillation when ventricular fibrillation was found. And the patients in IAPP-CPR group received the IAPP-CPR on the basis of the routine chest compression. During the relaxation period, the patients were subjected to abdominal lifting and compressing with amplitude of 4-5 cm, frequency of 100 times/min, and the time ratio of lifting to compressing was 1:1. The data of demographics and clinical signs of patients were collected. The markers of respiratory and circulatory performance of all patients after CPR were determined. The rates of restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), successful resuscitation, and the prognosis were recorded. With the success of CRP as the dependent variable, the factors with statistical significance showed by univariate analysis were used as the independent variable to carry out two classification Logistic regression analysis for screening the influence factors of CPR success. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze the predictive value of various factors on the success of CPR. Results 122 patients were enrolled in the analysis. Compared with the S-CPR group, heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), and end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PETCO2) were significantly increased at 30 minutes after CPR in IAPP-CPR group [HR (bpm): 66.3±11.5 vs. 53.1±12.6, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 65.4±6.5 vs. 53.2±5.4, PaO2(mmHg): 77.7±11.8 vs. 61.8±14.3, PETCO2(mmHg):45.5±9.6 vs. 31.8±8.2, all P < 0.05], and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and lactic acid (Lac) were significantly lowered [PaCO2(mmHg): 46.7±6.2 vs. 57.9±9.5, Lac (mmol/L): 2.1±1.5 vs. 4.4±2.2, both P < 0.05]. The time of CA to ROSC in IAPP-CPR group was significantly shorter than that in S-CPR group (minutes: 6.3±1.8 vs. 11.2±1.4, P < 0.05), the ROSC rate and CPR success rate were significantly higher than those in S-CPR group [ROSC rate: 61.7% (37/60) vs. 43.5% (27/62), CPR success rate: 40.0% (24/60) vs. 21.0% (13/62), both P < 0.05], and 24-hour survival rate and survival and discharge rate of patients were significantly higher than those in the S-CPR group [24-hour survival rate: 46.7% (28/60) vs. 29.0% (18/62), survival and discharge rate: 20.0% (12/60) vs. 11.3% (7/62), both P < 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that PaO2, PaCO2 and PETCO2 were the factors that affect the success of CPR [PaO2: β= -3.76, odds ratio (OR) = 0.23, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.12-0.86, P = 0.031; PaCO2:β=1.41,OR=4.09,95%CI=1.70-9.82,P=0.002,PETCO2:β=0.78,OR=2.18,95%CI=1.42-3.35,P=0.000]. ROC curve analysis showed that the above three factors had good predictive value for the success of CPR. The predictive value of PaCO2 and PETCO2 were better, the area under ROC curve (AUC) was 0.93 and 0.92, respectively, when the cut-off values was 46.7 mmHg and 48.8 mmHg, the sensitivity was 92.0%, 88.0%, respectively, and the specificity was both 94.3%. Conclusions PaO2, PaCO2 and PETCO2 are the factors that influence the success of CPR. PaCO2 and PETCO2 have great value in predicting the success of CPR. Compared with the S-CPR group, IAPP-CPR group results in better hemodynamic and pulmonary ventilation effects, and remarkably improve ROSC and successful resuscitation. IAPP-CPR has obvious clinical value for CA patients.
