RESUMEN
Background: Numerous studies have already identified an association between excessive consumption of red meat and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, there has been a lack of detailed understanding regarding the disease burden linked to diet high in red meat and CRC. Objective: We aim to offer evidence-based guidance for developing effective strategies that can mitigate the elevated CRC burden in certain countries. Methods: We used the data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 to evaluate global, regional, and national mortality rates and disability-adjusted Life years (DALYs) related to diet high in red meat. We also considered factors such as sex, age, the socio-demographic index (SDI), and evaluated the cross-national inequalities. Furthermore, we utilized DALYs data from 204 countries and regions to measure cross-country inequalities of CRC by calculating the slope index of inequality and concentration index as standard indicators of absolute and relative inequalities. Discussion: The results show that globally, the age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) and age-standardized disability adjusted life year rate (ASDR) related to CRC due to diet high in red meat have decreased, with estimated annual percent change (EAPCs) of -0.32% (95% CI -0.37 to -0.28) and-0.18% (95% CI -0.25 to -0.11). Notably, the burden was higher among males and the elderly. The slope index of inequality rose from 22.0 (95% CI 18.1 to 25.9) in 1990 to 32.9 (95% CI 28.3 to 37.5) in 2019 and the concentration index fell from 59.5 (95% CI 46.4 to 72.6) in 1990 to 48.9 (95% CI 34.6 to 63.1) in 2019. Also, according to our projections, global ASDR and ASMR might tend to increase up to 2030. Conclusion: ASMR and ASDR for CRC associated with high red meat diets declined globally from 1990 to 2019, but the absolute number of cases is still rising, with men and the elderly being more affected. CRC associated with diets high in red meat exhibits significant income inequality, placing a disproportionate burden on wealthier countries. Moreover, according to our projections, ASMR and ASDR are likely to increase globally by 2030. In order to address this intractable disease problem, understanding changes in global and regional epidemiologic trends is critical for policy makers and others.
RESUMEN
In the past, quadratus lumborum block (QLB) was mostly used for postoperative analgesia in patients, and few anesthesiologists applied it during surgery with opioid-free anesthesia (OFA). Consequently, it is still unclear whether QLB in the supine position can provide perfect analgesia and inhibit anesthetic stress during surgery under the OFA strategy. To observe the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (US-QLB) in the supine position with OFA for lower abdominal and pelvic surgery. A total of 122 patients who underwent lower abdominal or pelvic surgery in People's Hospital of Wanning between March 2021 and July 2022 were selected and divided into a quadratus lumborum block group (Q) (n = 62) and control group (C) (n = 60) according to the random number table method. Both groups underwent general anesthesia combined with QLB in the supine position. After sedation, unilateral or bilateral QLB was performed via the ultrasound guided anterior approach based on images resembling a "human eye" and "baby in a cradle" under local anesthesia according to the needs of the operative field. In group Q, 20 ml of 0.50% lidocaine and 0.20% ropivacaine diluted in normal saline (NS) were injected into each side. In group C, 20 ml of NS was injected into each side. The values of BP, HR, SPO2, SE, RE, SPI, NRS, Steward score, dosage of propofol, dexmedetomidine, and rocuronium, the number of patients who needed remifentanil, propofol, or diltiazem, puncture point, block plane, duration of anesthesia, catheter extraction, and wakefulness during the operation were monitored. There were no significant differences in the general data, number of cases requiring additional remifentanil, propofol, or diltiazem treatment, as well as puncture point and puncture plane between the two groups (P > 0.05). HR, SBP, and DBP values were higher in group Q than in group C at T1; HR, SPI, and SE, while RE values were lower in group Q than in group C at T3, SE, and RE; the Steward score was higher in group Q than in group C at T4 and T5, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The extubation and awake times were lower in group Q than in group C, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The SE, RE, and SPI values were lower at T1, T2, T3, and T4 than at T0. The Steward scores at T4 and T5 were higher in group Q than in group C, and were lower than at T0, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in the effectiveness of postoperative analgesia between the two groups at t1, t3 and t4 (P < 0.05). US-QLB in the supine position with OFA is effective in patients undergoing lower abdominal or pelvic surgery with stable intraoperative vital signs, complete recovery and better postoperative analgesia.

Background: In recent years, a great deal of research has been done on vascular calcification (VC), and inflammation and immunity have been displayed to play important roles in the mechanism of VC. However, to date, no comprehensive or systematic bibliometric analyses have been conducted on this topic. Methods: Articles and reviews on the roles of inflammation and immunity in VC were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection on August 5, 2022. Four scientometric software packages-HistCite, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-bibliometrix-were used for the bibliometric and knowledge mapping analyses. Results: The obtained 1,868 papers were published in 627 academic journals by 9,595 authors of 2,217 institutions from 69 countries. The annual number of publications showed a clear growth trend. The USA and China were the most productive countries. Karolinska Institutet, Harvard University, and the University of Washington were the most active institutions. Stenvinkel P published the most articles, whereas Demer LL received the most citations. Atherosclerosis published the most papers, while Circulation was the most highly cited journal. The largest cluster among the 22 clusters, based on the analysis of co-citations, was osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation. "Vascular calcification," "inflammation," "chronic kidney disease," and "expression" were the main keywords in the field. The keyword "extracellular vesicle" attracted great attention in recent years with the strongest citation burst. Conclusions: Osteo-/chondrogenic transdifferentiation is the primary research topic in this field. Extracellular vesicles are expected to become a new research focus for exploring the inflammatory and immune mechanisms of VC.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no gold standard for monitoring noxious stimulation during surgery, and the surgical pleth index (SPI) is only one of many monitoring methods. It is commonly used in the monitoring of conventional opiate anesthesia, but its effectiveness in opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) has not been evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to observe the guidance value of the surgical pleth index in opioid-free anesthesia for patients undergoing lower abdominal or pelvic surgery. METHODS: A total of 122 patients who underwent lower abdominal or pelvic surgery in our hospital between March 2021 and July 2022 were selected and equally divided into OFA (F) and control (C) groups according to the random number table method. Both groups underwent ultrasound-guided unilateral/bilateral quadratus lumborum block in the supine position according to the surgical field. In group F, 0.50% lidocaine and 0.20% ropivacaine (in 20 mL of 0.9% normal saline) were injected on each side. In group C, 20 mL 0.9% normal saline was injected on each side. Group F received general anesthesia without opioids and group C received general anesthesia with opioids. BP, pulse oxygen saturation, PETCO2, reactionentropy, stateentropy, and SPI values; Steward score; dosage of propofol, dexmedetomidine, rocuronium, and diltiazem; extubation time; and awake time were monitored in both groups. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the general data between the 2 groups (Pâ >â .05). There were no significant differences in SPI values at T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 or the number of cases requiring additional remifentanil, propofol, and diltiazem between the 2 groups (Pâ >â .05). The stateentropy, reactionentropy, and Steward scores were higher in group F than in group C at T4 and T5, while the extubation and awake times were lower in group F than in group C (Pâ <â .05). The heart rate and SPI of group F were lower than that of group C at T3 (Pâ <â .05). CONCLUSION: The guiding value of SPI in OFA was similar to its use in opiated anesthesia. Its clinical efficacy is exact, vital signs are stable, enabling rapid, and complete regaining of consciousness.

Background: Although opioids provide effective analgesia for abdominal surgery, they also present serious unwanted side effects. Ultrasound-guild quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) have been proven to offer long-lasting and efficient analgesia during abdominal surgery. However, the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided QLB and TAPB combined with opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) in abdominal surgery remains unclear. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasound-guided QLB and TAPB combined with opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) on the clinical efficacy of abdominal surgery. Methods: A total of 122 patients scheduled for abdominal surgery at People's Hospital of Wanning between March 2021 and April 2022 were enrolled in this study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group (QLB/TAPB + OFA, 62 patients) and the control group (opioid anesthesia, 60 patients). The clinical efficacy of the QLB/TAPB combined with OFA technique was evaluated by analyzing patients' vital signs, postoperative consciousness recovery time, numeric rating scale (NRS) score, and immune function in both groups. Results: We observed that systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group after induction (p < 0.05). Heart rate (HR) in experimental group was significantly lower than in the control group at intraoperative 1h (p < 0.05). Additionally, bispectral index (BIS), state entropy (SE), and response entropy (RE) levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, extubation and awakening time were significantly shorter in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The NRS scores in the experimental group were markedly lower than those in the control group. Moreover, IL-6 and CRP levels in the experimental group were obviously lower than in the control group after postoperative 1d (p < 0.05). Interestingly, IL-6 (p < 0.001), CRP (p < 0.001), and PCT (p = 0.037) levels in female patients of the experimental group were all significantly lower than those in the control group after postoperative 1d. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided QLB and TAPB combined with OFA technique can reduce pain intensity and enhance the patients' immune function in abdominal surgery.
RESUMEN
Background: Diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction (DACD) is a common and serious complication in diabetes and has a high impact on the lives of both individuals and society. Although a number of research has focused on DACD in the past two decades, there is no a study to systematically display the knowledge structure and development of the field. Thus, the present study aimed to show the landscape and identify the emerging trends of DACD research for assisting researchers or clinicians in grasping the knowledge domain faster and easier and focusing on the emerging trends in the field. Methods: We searched the Web of Science database for all DACD-related studies between 2000 and 2022. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer, CiteSpace, Histcite, and R bibliometric package, revealing the most prominent research, countries, institutions, authors, journals, co-cited references, and keywords. Results: A total of 4,378 records were selected for analysis. We found that the volume of literature on DACD has increased over the years. In terms of the number of publications, the USA ranked first. The most productive institutions were the University of Washington and the University of Pittsburgh. Furthermore, Biessels GJ was the most productive author. Journal of Alzheimers Disease, Diabetes Care, and Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience had the most publications in this field. The keywords"dementia," "alzheimers-disease," "cognitive impairment" and "diabetes" are the main keywords. The burst keywords in recent years mainly included "signaling pathway" and "cognitive deficit." Conclusion: This study systematically illustrated advances in DACD over the last 23 years. Current findings suggest that exploring potential mechanisms of DACD and the effect of anti-diabetes drugs on DACD are the hotspots in this field. Future research will also focus on the development of targeted drugs that act on the DACD signaling pathway.
RESUMEN
Objective: This study is designed to investigate the brain function changed regions in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and to explore the relationship between neuropsychological tests and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) network to clarify the possible mechanism underlying cognitive changes in KOA patients. Materials and methods: Fifty-two patients aged ≥ 65 with KOA and twenty-two healthy-matched controls were recruited in this study. All participants were given rs-fMRI check. We used graph theory analysis to characterize functional connectivity (FC) and topological organization of the brain structural network. The relationship between FC values, topological properties, and the neuropsychological test scores was analyzed. Results: Compared with the controls, fourteen edges with lower functional connectivity were noted in the KOA group. Local efficiency and small-worldness of KOA patients decreased compared to the healthy controls. No significant alterations of nodal topological properties were found between the two groups. There was a significant positive correlation between the AVLT-H (L) and the internetwork of default mode network (DMN) (left/right orbitofrontal Superior cortex) and limbic/cortical areas (left/right caudate, right amygdala). AVLT-H(L) was positively correlated with small-worldness and local efficiency. Conclusion: The results indicated that for elderly KOA patients with declined cognition, topological properties, FC between DMN and subcortical limbic network related regions are significantly decreased compared to healthy controls. These alterations demonstrated a significant correlation with the neuropsychological test scores.

The emergence of the most popular transneuronal tracers has further advanced connectomics research. Researchers use the virus trans-nerve tracing method to trace the whole brain, mark the brain nerve circuit and nerve connection structure, and construct a complete nerve conduction pathway. This review assesses current methods of studying cortical to muscle connections using viral neuronal tracers and demonstrates their application in disease diagnosis and prognosis.
RESUMEN
SARS-CoV-2 variants have shown increased transmission capabilities and pandemic to an extent with severe presentation and mortality. The delta variant has been declared as an emerging variant of concern (VOC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) on May 10, 2021. This review summarizes the post-vaccination infection events related to SARS-CoV-2 delta variant outbreaks in many areas of China. The characteristics and measures of delta variant-induced COVID-19 infections from May 2021 to October 2021 were reported. We compared the delta variant with the omicron from the latest literature review.
RESUMEN
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a common complication with adverse outcome after iodinated-contrast injection, yet still lacking effective medication. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been reported to play an important role against renal injuries. Hemin, a HO-1 inducer and anti-porphyria medicine, may have a promising effect against CIN. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of hemin on CIN model and the underlying molecular mechanisms in human proximal tubule epithelial cells (HK-2). To mimic a common condition in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients, CIN was induced by intravenous iopromide in high-fat fed diabetic rats. We found hemin, given right before iopromide, mitigated CIN with enhanced antioxidative capacity and reduced oxidative stress. HK-2 cells insulted by iopromide demonstrated decreased cell vitality and rising reactive oxygen species (ROS), which could also be inhibited by hemin. The effects of hemin involved a key molecule in ferroptosis, glutathione peroxidase (GPX4), whose down-expression by small interfering RNA (siRNA) reversed the effect of hemin on HK-2 cells. Furthermore, hemin's induction of GPX4 involved HO-1 and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Either HO-1 or Nrf2 inhibitor prevented hemin's effect on GPX4 to a comparable extent, and over-expression of Nrf2 increased GPX4 expression. Moreover, intervention of ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1 also alleviated CIN in vivo. Therefore, we showed hemin mitigated CIN, inhibiting oxidative stress and ferroptosis, by upregulation of GPX4 via activation of HO-1/Nrf2. Hemin, as a clinical medicine, has a translational significance in treating CIN, and anti-ferroptosis is a potential therapeutic strategy for CIN.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused several outbreaks of highly contagious respiratory diseases worldwide. The respiratory symptoms of Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) have been closely monitored and studied, while the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral system (PNS) lesions induced by COVID-19 have not received much attention. Currently, patients with COVID-19-associated encephalopathy present with dizziness, headache, anxiety and depression, stroke, epileptic seizures, the Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), and demyelinating disease. The exact pathologic basis for these neurological symptoms is currently not known. Rapid mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 genome leads to the appearance of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs), which have higher infectivity and virulence. Therefore, this narrative review will focus on the imaging assessment of COVID-19 and its VOC. There has been an increase in technologies, such as [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that have been used to observe changes in brain microstructure over time in patients with COVID-19 recovery. Medical imaging and pathological approaches aimed at exploring the associations between COVID-19 and its VOC, with cranial nerve and abnormal nerve discharge will shed light on the rehabilitation process of brain microstructural changes related to SARS-CoV-2, and aid future research in our understanding of the treatment and prognosis of COVID-19 encephalopathy.

Finally, in the detection of burst keywords, systems pharmacology and database are new approaches to disease and drug research, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Alzheimer's disease are hot research directions. The above keywords are speculated to be the research frontiers. Conclusion: Network pharmacology and Alzheimers' disease are the main topics of researches on network pharmacology in NDs. Network pharmacology and the TCM treatment of Alzheimer's disease have been the recent research hotspots. To sum up, the potential for exploring TCM treatment of AD with network pharmacology is huge.
RESUMEN
As an emerging framework in neuroscience, brain connectomics is well suited for investigating key questions on brain complexity by combining viral transneuronal tracing and whole brain graphic methodologies using analytical tools of network science. Transsynaptic viral tract-tracing in the toolbox of neural labeling methods has been a significant development in the connectomics field to decipher the circuit-level architecture of the cerebral cortex. In the present work, we reviewed the current methods enabling structural connectivity from the viscera to the cerebral cortex mapping with viral transneuronal tracers and showed how such neuroanatomic connectomic data could be used to infer new structural and functional information in viscera-cerebral cortex circuits.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: During the recovery period of general anesthesia, patients are disturbed by residual anesthetic drugs, manifesting as clinical signs of confusion, drowsiness and disorientation, and even abnormal psychology and limb agitation at varying degrees in severe cases. These stress reactions are detrimental to the postoperative recovery, which can be life-threatening. Operating room nursing intervention (ORNI) is a novel nursing model that prevents stress reactions during the recovery period of general anesthesia. However, whether ORNI can improve the psychological condition and reduce the incidence of emergence agitation in the recovery period of general anesthesia remains controversial. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of ORNI on the psychological status and incidence of emergence agitation in the recovery period of general anesthesia through a systematic review and meta-analysis, thus providing clinical evidence to support it. METHODS: Randomized controlled trials reporting the effect of ORNI on the recovery period of general anesthesia published before October 2021 will be searched in the Chinese Scientific Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Wanfang, China Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Eligible literatures will be screened out according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and their quality will be assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Meta-analysis will be performed using Revman 5.4 software. RESULTS: This study will evaluate the effect of the ORNI on the recovery period of general anesthesia by calculating the incidence of emergence agitation, and grading the self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores. CONCLUSION: This study will provide a reliable evidence-based basis for the application of ORNI in the recovery period of general anesthesia. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/P3A4T.

Propofol is an anesthetic frequently used in surgery. Accumulating evidence suggests that propofol exhibits an effect on cell viability, apoptosis and invasion in several types of cancer cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to play pivotal roles in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the diagnostic applications of miR-451a in PCOS remain unknown. The present study aimed to elucidate the effects of propofol on ovarian granulosa cell proliferation and apoptosis and illustrate the specific mechanisms associated with this process. Human ovarian granulosa cell-like KGN cells, which were used as a representative of granulosa cells in the present study, were treated with different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 µg/ml) of propofol for 48 h and cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed using MTT and flow cytometry assays, respectively. Propofol treatment resulted in significant inhibition of cell viability and induction of apoptosis in KGN cells, which was accompanied with increased cleaved caspase 3 and suppressed pro-caspase 3 expression levels. Furthermore, propofol reduced Wnt3a and ß-catenin protein and mRNA expression levels. miR-451a expression in KGN cells was evaluated by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). miR-451a expression was upregulated in propofol-stimulated KGN cells. The data further demonstrated that miR-451a mimics suppressed cell proliferation and increased apoptosis of KGN cells compared with cells transfected with control mimics. Furthermore, the association between miR-451a and propofol was investigated. Rescue experiments were performed to investigate the anti-proliferative mechanism of propofol in ovarian granulosa cells. KGN cells were transfected with miR-451a inhibitor or inhibitor control sequences for 6 h and treated with 10 µg/ml propofol for an additional 48 h. The results from the MTT, RT-qPCR and western blot assays indicated that 10 µg/ml propofol inhibited cell viability, induced apoptosis, enhanced cleaved caspase 3 expression, reduced pro-caspase 3 levels and inhibited the protein and mRNA expression of Wnt3a and ß-catenin. However, inhibition of miR-451a demonstrated the opposite effects. In conclusion, the results of the present study revealed that propofol exerted an anti-proliferative and apoptosis-inducing role in ovarian granulosa cells through mediation of miR-451a expression. In addition, the data indicated that miR-451a may be used as an effective therapeutic target for PCOS treatment.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Intranasal drip of dexmedetomidine in children with sevoflurane anesthesia can reduce anesthesia and restlessness. However, there is still some controversy. We conducted a meta-analysis to explore the effect of intranasal infusion of dexmedetomidine on the quality of recovery during the recovery period, to provide certain guidance for clinical application. METHODS: Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were used for literature search. Systematic reviews were based on PRISMA (the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). RESULTS: A total of 14 articles and 1123 patients were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the incidence of emergence agitation [risk ratio (RR), 0.32; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.20-0.50; P < 0.0001], satisfactory sedation at parent separation (RR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.031-93; P = 0.034), incidence of nausea and vomiting (RR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.21-0.78; P = 0.007), and incidence of laryngospasm (RR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.08-0.65; P = 0.006) of the intranasal dexmedetomidine group were different compared with the control group. However, the satisfactory sedation at mask induction in the intranasal dexmedetomidine group (RR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.87-1.54; P = 0.319), postanesthesia care unit (PACU) stay time (standardized mean deviation, 0.51; 95% CI, -0.11 to 1.12; P = 0.107), and extubation time (standardized mean deviation, 1.64; 95% CI, -1.07 to 4.35; P = 0.235) were not statistically significant compared with those of the control group. CONCLUSION: Intranasal dexmedetomidine anesthesia with sevoflurane in children can reduce the incidence of emergence agitation, provide more satisfactory sedation when the parents are separated, reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting, and reduce the incidence of laryngospasm. In addition, the 2 µg/kg dose of dexmedetomidine may be the best dose for clinical application.

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease and the third leading cause of death in the world. Dexmedetomidine has been reported to effectively inhibit histamine-induced bronchoconstriction. However, the molecular mechanism of dexmedetomidine in COPD has not been found. OBJECTIVE: To explore the role and mechanism of dexmedetomidine in COPD, and to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment of COPD. METHODS: The expression of miR-146a was regulated by mimics or inhibitor and the relative expression of apoptotic proteins p53, Bax and Bcl-2 in human bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot. Dexmedetomidine was treated for 16HBE cells and alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEC2), the cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and Hoechst33342 staining. A COPD rat model was established by smoking to test the effects of dexmedetomidine on the progression of COPD. The levels of IL-6, IL-1ß and TNF-α in serum were measured by ELISA and the protein concentration of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was also detected in dexmedetomidine treated COPD rat model. RESULTS: miR-146a promoted 16HBE cell apoptosis and reduced cell proliferation. Additionally, dexmedetomidine was showed to reduce the 16HBEL cell apoptosis through reducing the expression of miR-146a. Moreover, dexmedetomidine regulated cell apoptosis and cell apoptosis through miR-146a in AEC2 cells. More importantly, dexmedetomidine attenuated the morphology and pathology of COPD rat model. CONCLUSION: Dexmedetomidine reduced 16HBE cells and AEC2 cell apoptosis and attenuated COPD by down-regulating miR-146a.

BACKGROUND: Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19) will experience high levels of anxiety and low sleep quality due to isolation treatment. Some sleep-improving drugs may inhibit the respiratory system and worsen the condition. Prolonged bedside instruction may increase the risk of medical infections. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on anxiety and sleep quality of COVID-19. METHODS: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, a total of 51 patients who entered the isolation ward were included in the study and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group used progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) technology for 30 min per day for 5 consecutive days. During this period, the control group received only routine care and treatment. Before and after the intervention, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI) and Sleep State Self-Rating Scale (SRSS) were used to measure and record patient anxiety and sleep quality. Finally, data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software. RESULTS: The average anxiety score (STAI) before intervention was not statistically significant (P = 0.730), and the average anxiety score after intervention was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The average sleep quality score (SRSS) of the two groups before intervention was not statistically significant (P = 0.838), and it was statistically significant after intervention (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Progressive muscle relaxation as an auxiliary method can reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality in patients with COVID-19.

There is now substantial evidence that myocardial ischemiareperfusion (IR) injury affects the spinal cord and brain, and that interactions may exist between these two systems. In the present study, the spinal cord proteomes were systematically analyzed after myocardial IR injury, in an attempt to identify the proteins involved in the processes. The myocardial IR injury rat model was first established by cross clamping the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30min ischemia, followed by reperfusion for 2 h, which resulted in a significant histopathological and functional myocardial injury. Then using the stable isotope dimethyl labeling quantitative proteomics strategy, a total of 2,362 shared proteins with a good distribution and correlation were successfully quantified. Among these proteins, 33 were identified which were upregulated and 57 were downregulated in the spinal cord after myocardial IR injury, which were involved in various biological processes, molecular function and cellular components. Based on these proteins, the spinal cord protein interaction network regulated by IR injury, including apoptosis, microtubule dynamics, stressactivated signaling and cellular metabolism was established. These heartspinal cord interactions help explain the apparent randomness of cardiac events and provide new insights into future novel therapies to prevent myocardial I/R injury.
