| 1 | Effects of dietary yeast β-glucan on nutrient digestibility and serum profiles in pre-ruminant Holstein calves显示文摘This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of yeast β-glucan on the nutrient digestibility and serum profiles in pre-ruminant Holstein calves. Forty-two neonatal Holstein calves((39.6±4.2) kg) were randomly allotted to six groups, and each was offered one of the following diets: a basal diet(control) or the basal diet supplemented with 25, 50, 75, 100 or 200 mg of yeast β-glucan kg–1 feed(dry matter basis). The basal diet consisted of a milk replacer and a starter feed. The trial lasted for 56 d. Two digestibility trials were conducted from d 14 to 20 and from d 42 to 48. Blood samples were collected on d 0, 14, 28 and 42 for serum profile analyses. On d 56, three calves from each group were slaughtered, and intestinal samples were collected to assess the villous height, crypt depth and mucosal thickness. Although feed intake was not affected by dietary treatment(P>0.05), the average daily gain(ADG) and gain-to-feed ratios were higher(P<0.05) for the calves fed 75 mg of yeast β-glucan kg–1 feed than those in the other groups. The supplementation of yeast β-glucan at 75 mg kg–1 feed increased the apparent digestibility of dry matter(DM), crude protein(CP), ether extract(EE), and phosphorus(P)(P<0.05) and the ratio of intestinal villous height to crypt depth(V/C)(P<0.05) when compared with the control group. No effects of yeast β-glucan on the serum concentrations of total protein(TP), albumin(ALB), serum urea nitrogen(SUN) and glucose(GLU) were observed(P>0.05). Compared with the control group, supplementation of yeast β-glucan decreased(P<0.05) the serum concentrations of triglycerides(TG) and total cholesterol(TC). The serum concentration of immunoglobulin G(Ig G) and immunoglobulin M(Ig M) increased quadratically(P<0.05), whereas the serum concentration of immunoglobulin A(Ig A) was unaffected by dietary treatments(P>0.05). The supplementation of yeast β-glucan stimulated the enzymatic activity of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)(P<0.05) compared with the control group. The lysozyme(LYZ) concentration increased quadratically(P<0.05) with increasing yeast β-glucan levels. The results suggested that dietary supplementation of yeast β-glucan at 75 mg kg–1 feed improved nutrient digestibility, enhanced immunity by increasing the immunoglobulin concentration and stimulating ALP, and exerted no adverse effects on metabolism in pre-ruminant calves. | MA Tao TU Yan ZHANG Nai-feng GUO Jiang-peng DENG Kai-dong ZHOU Yi YUN Qiang DIAO Qi-yu | 2015 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2015,14,4: | 23 |
| 2 | Neuroprotective effects of bloodletting at Jing points combined with mild induced hypothermia in acute severe traumatic brain injury显示文摘Bloodletting at Jing points has been used to treat coma in traditional Chinese medicine. Mild induced hypothermia has also been shown to have neuroprotective effects. However, the therapeutic effects of bloodletting at Jing points and mild induced hypothermia alone are limited. Therefore, we investigated whether combined treatment might have clinical effectiveness for the treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury. Using a rat model of traumatic brain injury, combined treatment substantially alleviated cerebral edema and bloodbrain barrier dysfunction. Furthermore, neurological function was ameliorated, and cellular necrosis and the inflammatory response were lessened. These findings suggest that the combined effects of bloodletting at Jing points(20 μL, twice a day, for 2 days) and mild induced hypothermia(6 hours) are better than their individual effects alone. Their combined application may have marked neuroprotective effects in the clinical treatment of acute severe traumatic brain injury. | Yue Tu Xiao-mei Miao Tai-long Yi Xu-yi Chen Hong-tao Sun Shi-xiang Cheng Sai Zhang | 2016 | Neural Regeneration Research2016,11,6: | 17 |
| 3 | Intercropping with Solanum nigrum and Solanum photeinocarpum from Two Ecoclimatic Regions Promotes Growth and Reduces Cadmium Uptake of Eggplant Seedlings显示文摘Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious environmental problem worldwide, and reduction of heavy metal accumulation in vegetables grown on contaminated land is a matter of urgency. A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of intercropping with the Cd hyperaccumulators Solanum nigrum and Solanum photeinocarpum from two ecoclimatic regions, Ya'an and Chengdu,Sichuan Province, China, on the growth and cadmium(Cd) uptake of eggplant(Solanum melongena L.). The biomass, photosynthetic pigment contents, and activities of antioxidant enzymes of eggplant were enhanced by intercropping. The biomass of eggplant was the highest after intercropping with S. photeinocarpum from Ya'an, but did not differ significantly from that after intercropping with S. nigrum from Chengdu. The shoot Cd content of eggplant was significantly reduced by intercropping with the hyperaccumulators,which ranked as follows: S. nigrum from Chengdu > S. nigrum from Ya'an > S. photeinocarpum from Chengdu > S. photeinocarpum from Ya'an, with the decreases being 19.60%, 14.36%, 9.66%, and 6.42%, respectively, as compared with the control. The lowest shoot Cd content and translocation factor of eggplant were attained after intercropping with S. nigrum from Chengdu. Therefore, it was feasible to intercrop eggplant with S. nigrum and S. photeinocarpum on Cd-contaminated soil. | TANG Yi HE Juan YU Xuena XIE Yongdong LIN Lijin SUN Guochao LI Huanxiu LIAO Mingan LIANG Dong XIA Hui WANG Xun ZHANG Jing LIU Zejing TU Lihua LIU Li | 2017 | Pedosphere2017,27,3: | 17 |

| 5 | Overexpression of microRNA-124 promotes the neuronal differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells显示文摘microRNAs(miRNAs) play an important regulatory role in the self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells. In this study, we examined the effects of miRNA-124(miR-124) overexpression in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. In particular, we focused on the effect of overexpression on the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. First, we used GeneChip technology to analyze the expression of miRNAs in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells, neural stem cells and neurons. miR-124 expression was substantially reduced in bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells compared with the other cell types. We constructed a lentiviral vector overexpressing miR-124 and transfected it into bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Intracellular expression levels of the neuronal early markers β-III tubulin and microtubule-associated protein-2 were significantly increased, and apoptosis induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation was reduced in transfected cells. After miR-124-transfected bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were transplanted into the injured rat spinal cord, a large number of cells positive for the neuronal marker neurofilament-200 were observed in the transplanted region. The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan locomotion scores showed that the motor function of the hind limb of rats with spinal cord injury was substantially improved. These results suggest that miR-124 plays an important role in the differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. Our findings should facilitate the development of novel strategies for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation for spinal cord injury. | Defeng Zou Yi Chen Yaxin Han Chen Lv Guanjun Tu | 2014 | Neural Regeneration Research2014,9,12: | 15 |
| 6 | Development of land use transitions research in China显示文摘With the introduction of the concept of land use transition into China,related researches have been carried out extensively in the past two decades,which enrich the knowledge of land system science.This paper describes the development of research on land use transitions in China from the perspectives of conceptual connotations,theoretical model,research methods,and research progress and prospects.With the in-depth investigation of land use transitions,the concept and connotations of land use morphology are developed and encapsulated as two kinds,i.e.,dominant morphology and recessive morphology.The dominant morphology refers to the land use structure of a certain region over a certain period of time,with features such as the quantity and spatial pattern of land use types.While the recessive morphology includes the land use features in the aspects of quality,property rights,management mode,input,output and function.Accordingly,the concept of land use transition is further developed,and the theoretical model of regional land use transitions is established.Thereafter,three innovative integrated approaches to study land use transitions are put forward,i.e.,multidisciplinary research framework for recessive land use transition,transect and horizontal comparison.To date,there have been 62 Ph.D.and 166 M.S.dissertations on the topic of'land use transition'in China.During 2002–2019,the National Natural Science Foundation of China has funded 48 research programs on the theme of'land use transition'.As such,the Chinese scholars have adapted the concept derived from western literature to the situations and experiences in China. | LONG Hualou QU Yi TU Shuangshuang ZHANG Yingnan JIANG Yanfeng | 2020 | Journal of Geographical Sciences2020,30,7: | 15 |
| 7 | Evaluation of the antioxidant effects of four main theaflavin derivatives through chemiluminescence and DNA damage analyses显示文摘Theaflavins(TFs) are the dimers of a couple of epimerized catechins,which are specially formed during black tea fermentation.To explore the differences among four main TF derivatives(theaflavin(TF 1),theaflavin3-gallate(TF 2 A),theaflavin-3'-gallate(TF 2 B),and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate(TF 3)) in scavenging reactive oxygen species(ROS) in vitro,their properties of inhibiting superoxide,singlet oxygen,hydrogen peroxide,and the hydroxyl radical,and their effects on hydroxyl radical-induced DNA oxidative damage were systematically analyzed in the present study.The results show that,compared with()-epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG),TF derivatives were good antioxidants for scavenging ROS and preventing the hydroxyl radical-induced DNA damage in vitro.TF 3 was the most positive in scavenging hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical,and TF 1 suppressed superoxide.Positive antioxidant capacities of TF 2 B on singlet oxygen,hydrogen peroxide,hydroxyl radical,and the hydroxyl radical-induced DNA damage in vitro were found.The differences between the antioxidant capacities of four main TF derivatives in relation to their chemical structures were also discussed.We suggest that these activity differences among TF derivatives would be beneficial to scavenge different ROS with therapeutic potential. | Yuan-yuan WU Wei LI Yi XU En-hui JIN You-ying TU | 2011 | Journal of Zhejiang University-Science B(Biomedicine & Biotechnology)2011,12,9: | 13 |
| 8 | Au-decorated porous structure graphene with enhanced sensing performance for low-concentration NO2 detection显示文摘A recent progress in new emerging two-dimensional(2 D)materials has provided promising opportunity for gas sensing in ultra-low detectable concentration.In this work,we have demonstrated a flexible NO2 gas sensor with porous structure graphene on polyethylene terephthalate substrates operating at room temperature.The gas sensor exhibited good performance with response of 1.2%and a fast response time within 30 s after exposure to50×10^-9 NO2 gas.As porous structure of graphene increased the surface area,the sensor showed high sensitivity of ppb level for NO2 detection.Au nanoparticles were decorated on the surface of the porous structure graphene skeleton,resulting in an incensement of response compared with pristine graphene.Au nanoparticles-decorated graphene exhibits not only better sensitivity(1.5-1.6 times larger than pristine graphene)for NO2 gas detection,but also fast response.The sensor was found to be robust and sensitive under the cycling bending test,which could also be ascribed to the merits of graphene.This porous structure graphene-based gas sensor is expected to enable a simple and inexpensive flexible gas sensing platform. | Yan-Yan Fan Hai-Ling Tu Yu Pang Feng Wei Hong-Bin Zhao Yi Yang Tian-Ling Ren | 2020 | Rare Metals2020,39,6: | 13 |
| 9 | Analysis of the Sending-Side System Instability Caused by Multiple HVDC Commutation Failure显示文摘As high-voltage direct current(HVDC)lines with large capacity are being commissioned with higher frequency,the characteristics of“strong”DC and“weak”AC transmission in the power grid are topics of interest.In particular,the coupling and interaction between the sending-side and receivingside AC systems interconnected by large-scale DC links is gaining importance.In this paper,the impact of the multiple HVDC commutation failure on the stability of the sending system under different power flow directions is analyzed based on the threearea AC/DC equivalent model.The main influencing factors and the counter-measures are discussed,and the single HVDC line blocking is taken as a comparison.Finally,the results are verified using the North China-Central China-East China power grid case system.The study provides a basis and reference to ensure security and stability of the ultra-high-voltage(UHV)AC/DC hybrid power grid. | Jingzhe Tu Jian Zhang Guangquan Bu Jun Yi Yonghua Yin Junchuan Jia | 2015 | CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems2015,1,4: | 12 |
| 10 | A Spatial Cluster Analysis of Heavy Rains in China显示文摘Clustered heavy rains (CHRs) defined using hierarchical cluster analysis based on daily observations of precipitation in China during 1960-2008 are investigated in this paper.The geographical pattern of CHRs in China shows three high-frequency centers-South China,the Yangtze River basin,and part of North China around the Bohai Sea.CHRs occur most frequently in South China with a mean annual frequency of 6.8 (a total of 334 times during 1960-2008).June has the highest monthly frequency (2.2 times/month with a total of 108 times during 1960-2008),partly in association with the Meiyu phenomenon in the Yangtze River basin.Within the past 50 years,the frequency of CHRs in China has increased significantly from 13.5 to 17.3 times per year,which is approximately 28%.In the 1990s,the frequency of CHRs often reached 19.1 times per year.The geographical extent of CHR has expanded slightly by 0.5 stations,and its average daily rainfall intensity has increased by 3.7 mm d 1.The contribution of CHRs to total rainfall amount and the frequency of daily precipitation have increased by 63.1% and 22.7%,respectively,partly due to a significant decrease in light rains.In drying regions of North and Northeast China,the amounts of minimal CHRs have had no significant trend in recent years,probably due to warming in these arid regions enhancing atmospheric convectivity at individual stations. | TU Kai YAN Zhong-Wei WANG Yi | 2011 | Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters2011,4,1: | 12 |
| 11 | Developing Hybrid cell-edge and cell-node Dissipative Compact Scheme for Complex Geometry Flows显示文摘Developing high resolution finite difference scheme and enabling the use of this scheme on complex geometry are the aims of this study.High resolution has been achieved by Dissipative Compact Schemes(DCS),however,according to the recent research,applications of DCS on complex geometry may have serious problem for that the Geometric Conservation Law(GCL)is not satisfied,and this may cause numerical instability.To cope with this problem,a new scheme named Hybrid cell-edge and cell-node Dissipative Compact Scheme(HDCS)has been formulated.The formulation of the HDCS contains two steps.First,a new central compact scheme is formulated for the purpose of conveniently fulfilling the GCL,and then dissipation is added on the central scheme by high-order dissipative interpolation of cell-edge variables.The solutions of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations show that the HDCS can be applied successfully on complex geometry,while the DCS may suffer numerical instabilities.Moreover,high resolution of the HDCS may be observed in the test of scattering of acoustic waves by multiple cylinders. | DENG XiaoGang JIANG Yi MAO MeiLiang LIU HuaYong TU GuoHua | 2013 | Science China(Technological Sciences)2013,56,10: | 10 |
| 12 | Decreased Average Albumin-to-Globulin Ratio During Radiotherapy Worsens the Prognosis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma:Implications for Nutritional Management显示文摘Objective Malnutrition and cachexia are common in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)patients undergoing radiotherapy.This study evaluated how malnutrition-and cachexia-related indicators,including the albumin-to-globulin ratio(AGR),and their changes during radiotherapy predict the treatment outcomes.Methods We reviewed a total of 172 ESCC patients receiving radiotherapy(as a primary cohort)and performed a Cox regression analysis on potential prognostic factors,including the AGR,as well as the TNM stage and concomitant chemotherapy.A subsequent receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve and Kaplan Meier survival analysis was performed for ESCC patients stratified by the average AGR cut-off point.Results In addition to the well-documented factors(i.e.TNM stage and concomitant chemotherapy),the average AGR was a significant prognostic factor for ESCC patients receiving radiotherapy.By plotting the ROC curve of the average AGR with regard to the ESCC prognosis,we obtained cut-off points for the overall patients(cut-off point:1.5,AUC:0.636),for patients with stageⅡ/Ⅲdisease(cut-off point:1.5,AUC:0.611),and for patients with stageⅣdisease(cut-off point:1.84,AUC:0.900).The ESCC patients with higher average AGR had a significantly more favorable OS compared with those with a lower average AGR.Notably,ESCC patients who had an increasingΔAGR during radiotherapy had a considerably more favorable OS compared with those with a decreasingΔAGR.All of these findings were reproducible in the validation cohort.Conclusion A lower average AGR is indicative of a poorer prognosis for ESCC patients following radiotherapy.Improving the nutritional status and preventing or ameliorating cachexia might contribute to improving the prognosis of ESCC patients. | Fen Cai Xiu Lian Zhang Xiao Ling Wu Ting Ting Zhuang Lei Huang Yi Fei Tu Yuan Yuan Lu Min Xia Jiang Qing Ying Zhang Yan Lin Chang Chun Ma | 2021 | Journal of Nutritional Oncology2021,6,2: | 8 |
| 13 | Allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell immunotherapy exhibits promising clinical safety and prolongs the survival of patients with late-stage lung or liver cancer显示文摘Vγ9Vδ2 T cells are promising candidates for cellular tumor immunotherapy.Due to their HLA-independent mode of action,allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells can be considered for clinical application.To apply allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in adoptive immunotherapy,the methodology used to obtain adequate cell numbers with optimal effector function in vitro needs to be optimized,and clinical safety and efficacy also need to be proven.Therefore,we developed a novel formula to improve the expansion of peripheralγδT cells from healthy donors.Then,we used a humanized mouse model to validate the therapeutic efficacy of expandedγδT cells in vivo;furthermore,the expandedγδT cells were adoptively transferred into late-stage liver and lung cancer patients.We found that the expanded cells possessed significantly improved immune effector functions,including proliferation,differentiation,and cancer cell killing,both in vitro and in the humanized mouse model.Furthermore,a phase I clinical trial in 132 late-stage cancer patients with a total of 414 cell infusions unequivocally validated the clinical safety of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T cells.Among these 132 patients,8 liver cancer patients and 10 lung cancer patients who received≥5 cell infusions showed greatly prolonged survival,which preliminarily verified the efficacy of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell therapy.Our clinical studies underscore the safety and efficacy of allogeneic Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell immunotherapy,which will inspire further clinical investigations and eventually benefit cancer patients. | Yan Xu Zheng Xiang Mohammed Alnaggar Léonce Kouakanou Jiawei Li Junyi He Jiashuang Yang Yi Hu Yan Chen Li Lin Jianlei Hao Jingxia Li Jibing Chen Man Li Qingling Wu Christian Peters Qinghua Zhou Jianshuang Li Yingqing Liang Xiaohua Wang Baohui Han Meili Ma Dieter Kabelitz Kecheng Xu Wenwei Tu Yangzhe Wu Zhinan Yin | 2021 | Cellular & Molecular Immunology2021,18,2: | 8 |

| 16 | Evaluation of the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System for Predicting Sea Fog over the South China Sea显示文摘In the South China Sea, sea fog brings severe disasters every year, but forecasters have yet to implement an effective seafog forecast. To address this issue, we test a liquid-water-content-only(LWC-only) operational sea-fog prediction method based on a regional mesoscale numerical model with a horizontal resolution of about 3 km, the Global and Regional Assimilation and Prediction System(GRAPES), hereafter GRAPES-3 km. GRAPES-3 km models the LWC over the sea, from which we infer the visibility that is then used to identify fog. We test the GRAPES-3 km here against measurements in 2016 and 2017 from coastal-station observations, as well as from buoy data, data from the Integrated Observation Platform for Marine Meteorology, and retrieved fog and cloud patterns from Himawari-8 satellite data. For two cases that we examine in detail, the forecast region of sea fog overlaps well with the multi-observational data within 72 h. Considering forecasting for0–24 h, GRAPES-3 km has a 2-year-average equitable threat score(ETS) of 0.20 and a Heidke skill score(HSS) of 0.335,which is about 5.6%(ETS) and 6.4%(HSS) better than our previous method(GRAPES-MOS). Moreover, the stations near the particularly foggy region around the Leizhou Peninsula have relatively high forecast scores compared to other sea areas.Overall, the results show that GRAPES-3 km can roughly predict the formation, evolution, and dissipation of sea fog on the southern China coast. | Huijun HUANG Bin HUANG Li YI Chunxia LIU Jing TU Guanhuan WEN Weikang MAO | 2019 | Advances in Atmospheric Sciences2019,36,6: | 7 |
| 17 | Quality of life and emotional change for middle -aged and elderly patients with diabetic retinopathy显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the SF-36, Diabetes Specificity Quality of Life Scale (DSQL) and anxiety and depression symptoms and investigate its changes in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) by vitrectomy interventions. METHODS:The present study included 108 diabetic retinopathy (DR) patients:54 with PDR and 54 with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR). Each healthy control group (n =54) sociodemographically matched to DR groups was established respectively. The quality of life, anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated and analyzed on preoperative and postoperative month 1 using SF-36, DSQL and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). · RESULTS:DR patients described impaired HRQL (Health Related Quality of life, SF -36) in 6 out of 8 subscales, including ‘Body Health’, ‘Body RoleFunction’,‘General Health’,‘Society Function’,‘Emotion Role Function’and‘Mental Health’. Compared with controls, DR patients (NPDR and PDR) suffered from statistically significantly impaired HRQL (SF-36 Summary score) (P< 0.05). By surgical intervention, the anxiety and depression score were significantly reduced, while the health and quality of life (SF-36 Summary scores and DSQL scores) was improved in patients with PDR (P <0.05). CONCLUSION:DR patients were affected in mentation and quality of life. Surgery interventions can improve SF-36, DSQL, anxiety and depression in PDR patients. | Yao Yu Lie Feng Yi Shao Ping Tu He-Ping Wu Xun Ding Wei-Hua Xiao | 2013 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2013,6,1: | 6 |
| 18 | Differences in clinical features of Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis显示文摘AIM: To investigate the clinical features of Crohn's disease(CD) and intestinal tuberculosis(ITB) with a scoring system that we have developed.METHODS: A total of 25 CD and 40 ITB patients were prospectively enrolled from August 2011 to July 2012.Their characteristics and clinical features were recorded. Laboratory, endoscopic, histologic and radiographic features were determined. The features with a high specificity were selected to establish a scoring system. The features supporting CD scored +1, and those supporting ITB scored-1; each patient received a final total score. A receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to determine the best cut-off value for distinguishing CD from ITB.RESULTS: Based on a high specificity of differentiating between CD and ITB, 12 features, including longitudinal ulcers, nodular hyperplasia, cobblestone-like mucosa, intestinal diseases, intestinal fistula, the target sign, the comb sign, night sweats, the purified protein derivative test, the interferon-γ release assay(T-SPOT.TB), ring ulcers and ulcer scars, were selected for the scoring system. The results showed that the average total score of the CD group was 3.12 ± 1.740, the average total score of the ITB group was-2.58 ± 0.984, the best cutoff value for the ROC curve was-0.5, and the diagnostic area under the curve was 0.997, which was statistically significant(P < 0.001). The patients whose total scores were higher than-0.5 were diagnosed with CD; otherwise, patients were diagnosed with ITB. Overall, the diagnostic accuracy rate and misdiagnosis rate of this scoring system were 97% and 3%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Some clinical features are valuable for CD and ITB diagnosis.

| 19 | Effect of preemptive local injection of ropivocaine with dexmedetomidine on mirror pain in rats and its mechanism显示文摘Objective:To observe the effect of preemptive local injection of ropivocaine with dexmedetomidine on activation of glial cells and on the mirror pain in rats and its mechanism.Methods:A total of 48 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats(weighing 180 g-220 g)were included in the study and randomized into 3 groups,Group S,Group R,and Group RD,.A rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by skin/muscle incision and retraction was established in the three groups.Before procedures and nerve extraction,Group S(n=16)was injected 0.9%saline locally;Group R(n=16)was injected 0.5%ropivocaine locally,and Group RD,(n=16)was injected 0.5%ropivocaine in combined with 1μg dexmedetomidine locally.After the model being established in the three groups,8 rats were used for behavior test until 28 d,and dorsal root ganglions(DRGs)of the other 8 rats were harvested on the3 rd day after surgery.Immunofluorescent and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the activation of glial cells in DRG,and the behavior test results in the three groups were compared.Results:The results showed that mechanical pain threshold in ipsilateral hindpaws of the Group S,Group R,Group RD,animals dropped to(3.640±1.963)g,(5.827±1.204)g,(7.482)±1.412 g at 3 d respectively;while in contralateral paws dropped to(7.100±1.789)g,(17.687±1.112)g,(16.213±1.345)g on the 3 d respectively.Immunofluorescent showed that the glial cells were activated in bilateral side DRG after surgery in 3 groups,but ipsilateral paws expressed more active glial cells than contralateral paws.Transmission electron microscopy showed that mitochondria swelling/vacuolization and lysosomes were more obvious in ipsilateral paws than contralateral paws,but Group RD,formula could reduce glial cells activity,mitochondria swelling/vacuolization and the amount of lysosomes.Conclusions:Local injection of ropivocaine and/or dexmedetomidine can effectively inhibit the activation of glial cells in DRG,mitigate the pathological changes of neuron in DRG and reduce mirror image pain. | Xi-Zhao Huang Wei-Feng Tu Jie Peng Rong-Fang Deng Kai Mo Zu-Rong Hu Yi Lu | 2015 | Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Medicine2015,8,10: | 6 |
| 20 | Intranasal insulin ameliorates neurological impairment after intracerebral hemorrhage in mice显示文摘In Alzheimer’s disease and ischemic stroke,intranasal insulin can act as a neuroprotective agent.However,whether intranasal insulin has a neuroprotective effect in intracerebral hemorrhage and its potential mechanisms remain poorly understood.In this study,a mouse model of autologous blood-induced intracerebral hemorrhage was treated with 0.5,1,or 2 IU insulin via intranasal delivery,twice per day,until 24 or 72 hours after surgery.Compared with saline treatment,1 IU intranasal insulin treatment significantly reduced hematoma volume and brain edema after cerebral hemorrhage,decreased blood-brain barrier permeability and neuronal degeneration damage,reduced neurobehavioral deficits,and improved the survival rate of mice.Expression levels of p-AKT and p-GSK3βwere significantly increased in the perihematoma tissues after intranasal insulin therapy.Our findings suggest that intranasal insulin therapy can protect the neurological function of mice after intracerebral hemorrhage through the AKT/GSK3βsignaling pathway.The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the North Sichuan Medical College of China(approval No.NSMC(A)2019(01))on January 7,2019. | Yuan Zhu Yi Huang Jin Yang Rong Tu Xin Zhang Wei-Wei He Chang-Yue Hou Xiao-Ming Wang Ju-Ming Yu Guo-Hui Jiang | 2022 | Neural Regeneration Research2022,17,1: | 5 |
