GSG2 promotes progression of human endometrial cancer by regulating PD-1/PD-L1 expression via PI3K-AKT pathway.

Cell cycle dysregulation leading to uncontrolled growth is a primary characteristic of malignancy. GSG2, a mitosis-related kinase, affects the normal cell cycle by interfering with the normal dissociation of centromere cohesion, and its overexpression has been shown to play an important role in cancer cells. Here, we investigated the function of GSG2 as a tumor promoter in endometrial carcinoma and its relationship with the immunological microenvironment. We used immunohistochemistry to identify a correlation between the development and prognosis of GSG2 and endometrial cancer. Cell and animal experiments confirmed that GSG2 has a protumorigenic phenotype in endometrial cancer cell lines. Furthermore, using GeneChip analysis and a tumor-immune coculture model, we observed a link between GSG2 expression and the composition of the immune microenvironment. Therefore, we concluded that the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway by GSG2 may impact DNA repair, disrupt the cell cycle, and regulate the immune response, all of which could increase the ability of EC cells to proliferate malignantly. Consequently, it is anticipated that GSG2 will be a viable therapeutic target in endometrial carcinoma.

Surface Redox Chemistry Regulates the Reaction Microenvironment for Efficient Hydrogen Peroxide Generation.

Electrosynthesis has emerged as an enticing solution for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production. However, efficient H2O2 generation encounters challenges related to the robust gas-liquid-solid interface within electrochemical reactors. In this work, we introduce an effective hydrophobic coating modified by iron (Fe) sites to optimize the reaction microenvironment. This modification aims to mitigate radical corrosion through Fe(II)/Fe(III) redox chemistry, reinforcing the reaction microenvironment at the three-phase interface. Consequently, we achieved a remarkable yield of up to 336.1 mmol h-1 with sustained catalyst operation for an extensive duration of 230 h at 200 mA cm-2 without causing damage to the reaction interface. Additionally, the Faradaic efficiency of H2O2 exceeded 90% across a broad range of test current densities. This surface redox chemistry approach for manipulating the reaction microenvironment not only advances long-term H2O2 electrosynthesis but also holds promise for other gas-starvation electrochemical reactions.

Correlation Between Serum microRNA-18a Level and Endothelial Function and Prognosis in Female Coronary Heart Disease Patients.

BACKGROUND: The aim was to analyze the correlation between serum microRNA (miR)-18a level, endothelial function, and prognosis in female coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. METHODS: One hundred sixtyfemale patients admitted to our hospital for the first occurrences of chest pain and tightness were divided into CHD and non-CHD groups based on the coronary angiography results. Clinical data, laboratory indexes, serum miR-18a level, and endothelial function [flow-mediated dilation (FMD) function, endothelin 1 (ET-1), and nitric oxide (NO)] were compared. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in clinical data (except CHD family history) between 2 groups. Coronary heart disease group had significantly lower levels of NO and FMD, while significantly higher levels of miR-18a and ET-1 than non-CHD group (P <.05). Pearson correlation showed that serum miR-18a level was positively correlated with ET-1 (r = 0.492, P <.001), and negatively correlated with NO and FMD (r = -0.504, -0.307, P <.001). The receiver operating characteristic) curve showed that the area under the curve of serum miR-18a level in predicting the occurrence of CHD in women was 0.878 (95% CI:  0.828-0.928). Compared with good prognosis group, poor prognosis group had signifi-cantly lower NO, and FMD levels, while higher proportions of acute coronary syndrome, multivessel disease, miR-18a, and ET-1 levels (P <.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of serum miR-18a in female CHD patients was high, which was related to endothelial function. The increase in serum miR-18a level was a risk factor for the occurrence of MACE in female CHD patients during follow-up, and the serum miR-18a level could effectively predict the occurrence of CHD in female patients.

Bone and Joint-on-Chip Platforms: Construction Strategies and Applications.

Organ-on-a-chip, also known as "tissue chip," is an advanced platform based on microfluidic systems for constructing miniature organ models in vitro. They can replicate the complex physiological and pathological responses of human organs. In recent years, the development of bone and joint-on-chip platforms aims to simulate the complex physiological and pathological processes occurring in human bones and joints, including cell-cell interactions, the interplay of various biochemical factors, the effects of mechanical stimuli, and the intricate connections between multiple organs. In the future, bone and joint-on-chip platforms will integrate the advantages of multiple disciplines, bringing more possibilities for exploring disease mechanisms, drug screening, and personalized medicine. This review explores the construction and application of Organ-on-a-chip technology in bone and joint disease research, proposes a modular construction concept, and discusses the new opportunities and future challenges in the construction and application of bone and joint-on-chip platforms.

Angiopterisnodosipetiolata (Marattiaceae), a new fern species from Yunnan, China.

Angiopterisnodosipetiolata Ting Wang tris, H.F.Chen & Y.H.Yan, a new fern of Marattiaceae, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, A.nodosipetiolata is similar to A.chingii with more than one naked pulvinus on the stipe and numerous jointed hairs on the undersides of the mature pinnae. However, the pinnae of A.nodosipetiolata are lanceolate and can reach up to 4-6 pairs, whereas they are elliptic and occur in 2-3 pairs in A.chingii. Phylogenetic and genetic distance analysis, based on the plastid genomes, also indicates that A.nodosipetiolata is not closely related to A.chingii. Currently, there are ca. 500 mature individuals in Gulinqing Nature Reserve and we suggest A.nodosipetiolata should be categorised as an Endangered (EN) species according to the criteria of IUCN.

Substrate-Controlled Divergent Synthesis of Benzimidazole-Fused Quinolines and Spirocyclic Benzimidazole-Fused Isoindoles.

A Rh(III)-catalyzed annulation of 2-arylbenzimidazoles with α-diazo carbonyl compounds via C-H activation/carbene insertion/intramolecular cyclization is explored. The switchable product selectivity is achieved by the use of distinct α-diazo carbonyl compounds. Benzimidazole-fused quinolines are obtained through [4 + 2] annulation exclusively when 2-diazocyclohexane-1,3-diones are used, where they act as a C2 synthon. Alternatively, diazonaphthalen-1(2H)-ones merely function as a one-carbon unit synthon to generate a quaternary center through [4 + 1] cyclization to afford spirocyclic benzimidazole-fused isoindole naphthalen-2-ones. A thorough mechanistic study reveals the course of the reaction.

Effect of Composite Probiotics on Antioxidant Capacity, Gut Barrier Functions, and Fecal Microbiome of Weaned Piglets and Sows.

This study investigated the efficacy of a composite probiotics composed of lactobacillus plantarum, lactobacillus reuteri, and bifidobacterium longum in alleviating oxidative stress in weaned piglets and pregnant sows. Evaluations of growth, oxidative stress, inflammation, intestinal barrier, and fecal microbiota were conducted. Results showed that the composite probiotic significantly promoted average daily gain in piglets (p < 0.05). It effectively attenuated inflammatory responses (p < 0.05) and oxidative stress (p < 0.05) while enhancing intestinal barrier function in piglets (p < 0.01). Fecal microbiota analysis revealed an increase in the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as faecalibacterium, parabacteroides, clostridium, blautia, and phascolarctobacterium in piglet feces and lactobacillus, parabacteroides, fibrobacter, and phascolarctobacterium in sow feces, with a decrease in harmful bacteria such as bacteroides and desulfovibrio in sow feces upon probiotic supplementation. Correlation analysis indicated significant negative associations of blautia with inflammation and oxidative stress in piglet feces, while treponema and coprococcus showed significant positive associations. In sow feces, lactobacillus, prevotella, treponema, and CF231 exhibited significant negative associations, while turicibacter showed a significant positive association. Therefore, the composite probiotic alleviated oxidative stress in weaned piglets and pregnant sows by modulating fecal microbiota composition.

Situational Analysis of Malaria Incidence Under Integrated Malaria Service in Hotspot Township - Minbya Township, Rakhine State, Myanmar, 2017-2020.

Introduction: Malaria is a significant public health concern and tropical disease, particularly affecting Myanmar within the Greater Mekong Subregion. The annual parasite index (API) exceeds 1 per 10,000 population in the northern seven townships of Rakhine State, with Minbya Township designated as a high-burden area for malaria by the World Health Organization (WHO) Myanmar and the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP). Since 2017, the Malaria reduction intensification plan has been in place in this township to combat the high disease transmission rates. This study aims to assess the malaria epidemiology in Minbya Township from 2017 to 2020 under the intensification plan for elimination, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the integrated strategy in reducing cases in hotspot areas. Methods: The study utilized a surveillance study design to collect secondary data from the Malaria surveillance system (MSS) and the epidemiologic monitoring dashboard of Minbya Township, Maruk-U District, located in Rakhine State. Results: Since 2017, the Malaria prevention and control (P&C) Program in Minbya Township has successfully decreased malaria morbidity, eliminated malaria-related deaths, and bolstered malaria testing capabilities through the participation of village health volunteers (VHVs). Approximately 87% of malaria prevention and control services are executed by the township's malaria elimination and disease control programs, with additional support from stakeholders. The API dropped from 13 in 2017 to 2.5 in 2020, with Plasmodium vivax being the most prevalent malaria species, accounting for 55% of cases. Conclusions: The study suggests that early diagnosis and promotion of artemisinin-based combination treatment (ACT), along with strategic planning including expanding active case detection in rural health centers and implementing a community-based integrated healthcare approach, are effective and efficient strategies for malaria elimination.

Comprehensive molecular characterization of long-term glioblastoma survivors.

Fewer than 5% glioblastoma (GBM) patients survive over five years and are termed long-term survivors (LTS), yet their molecular background is unclear. The present cohort included 72 isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype GBM patients, consisting of 35 LTS and 37 short-term survivors (STS), and we employed whole exome sequencing, RNA-seq and DNA methylation array to delineate this largest LTS cohort to date. Although LTS and STS demonstrated analogous clinical characters and classical GBM biomarkers, CASC5 (P = 0.002) and SPEN (P = 0.013) mutations were enriched in LTS, whereas gene-to-gene fusions were concentrated in STS (P = 0.007). Importantly, LTS exhibited higher tumor mutation burden (P < 0.001) and copy number (CN) increase (P = 0.013), but lower mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity score (P < 0.001) and CN decrease (P = 0.026). Additionally, LTS demonstrated hypermethylated genome (P < 0.001) relative to STS. Differentially expressed and methylated genes both enriched in olfactory transduction. Further, analysis of the tumor microenvironment revealed higher infiltration of M1 macrophages (P = 0.043), B cells (P = 0.016), class-switched memory B cells (P = 0.002), central memory CD4+ T cells (P = 0.031) and CD4+ Th1 cells (P = 0.005) in LTS. We also separately analyzed a subset of patients who were methylation class-defined GBM, contributing 70.8% of the entire cohort, and obtained similar results relative to prior analyses. Finally, we demonstrated that LTS and STS could be distinguished using a subset of molecular features. Taken together, the present study delineated unique molecular attributes of LTS GBM.

Functional alterations in overweight/obesity: focusing on the reward and executive control network.

Overweight (OW) and obesity (OB) have become prevalent issues in the global public health arena. Serving as a prominent risk factor for various chronic diseases, overweight/obesity not only poses serious threats to people's physical and mental health but also imposes significant medical and economic burdens on society as a whole. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on basic scientific research dedicated to seeking the neural evidence underlying overweight/obesity, aiming to elucidate its causes and effects by revealing functional alterations in brain networks. Among them, dysfunction in the reward network (RN) and executive control network (ECN) during both resting state and task conditions is considered pivotal in neuroscience research on overweight/obesity. Their aberrations contribute to explaining why persons with overweight/obesity exhibit heightened sensitivity to food rewards and eating disinhibition. This review centers on the reward and executive control network by analyzing and organizing the resting-state and task-based fMRI studies of functional brain network alterations in overweight/obesity. Building upon this foundation, the authors further summarize a reward-inhibition dual-system model, with a view to establishing a theoretical framework for future exploration in this field.

The Molecular Landscape of Primary CNS Lymphomas (PCNSLs) in Children and Young Adults.

Pediatric brain tumors are often noted to be different from their adult counterparts in terms of molecular features. Primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSLs) are mostly found in elderly adults and are uncommon in children and teenagers. There has only been scanty information about the molecular features of PCNSLs at a young age. We examined PCNSLs in 34 young patients aged between 7 and 39 years for gene rearrangements of BCl2, BCL6, CCND1, IRF4, IGH, IGL, IGK, and MYC, homozygous deletions (HD) of CDKN2A, and HLA by FISH. Sequencing was performed using WES, panel target sequencing, or Sanger sequencing due to the small amount of available tissues. The median OS was 97.5 months and longer than that for older patients with PCNSLs. Overall, only 14 instances of gene rearrangement were found (5%), and patients with any gene rearrangement were significantly older (p = 0.029). CDKN2A HD was associated with a shorter OS (p < 0.001). Only 10/31 (32%) showed MYD88 mutations, which were not prognostically significant, and only three of them were L265P mutations. CARD11 mutations were found in 8/24 (33%) cases only. Immunophenotypically, the cases were predominantly GCB, in contrast to older adults (61%). In summary, we showed that molecular findings identified in the PCNSLs of the older patients were only sparingly present in pediatric and young adult patients.

Enhanced Aggregation-Induced Delayed Electrochemiluminescence Triggered by Spatial Perturbation of Organic Dots.

Development of highly efficient, heavy-metal-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) materials is attractive but still challenging. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced delayed ECL (AIDECL) active organic dot (OD) composed of a tert-butoxy-group-substituted benzophenone-dimethylacridine compound, which shows high ECL efficiency. The resultant ODs exhibit 2.1-fold higher ECL efficiency compared to control AIDECL-active ODs. Molecular stacking combined with theoretical calculations suggests that tert-butoxy groups effectively participate in the intermolecular interactions, further inhibiting the molecular motions in the aggregated states and thus accelerating radiative decay. On the basis of these ODs exhibiting excellent ECL performance, a proof-of-concept biosensor is constructed for the detection of miR-16 associated with Alzheimer's disease, which demonstrates excellent detection ability with the limit of detection of 1.7 fM. This work provides a new approach to improve the ECL efficiency and enriches the fundamental understanding of the structure-property relationship.

Carexqingyuanensis (Cyperaceae), a new species from Guangdong, China.

Carexqingyuanensis, a new species of Cyperaceae from Guangdong Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to Carexpeliosanthifolia F. T. Wang & Tang ex P. C. Li, but it can be distinguished by the racemose inflorescence branches appearing single (rarely binate or ternate) (vs. binate or ternate), one (rarely two or three) (vs. 1-3) spiked, male part of linear-cylindrical spikes much longer than the female part (vs. just male part short-cylindrical and slightly longer than female part), style base thickened (vs. not thickened) and perigynium horizontally patent with a short (vs. long and excurved) beak. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the two nuclear DNA regions (ETS 1f and ITS) and three chloroplast DNA regions (matK, ndhF and rps16), suggests that the new species belongs to sect. Siderostictaes.s. of subg. Siderosticta and shows a closer phylogenetic relationship to Carexscaposa C. B. Clarke.

Transformation profiles of the isoflavones in germinated soybean based on UPLC-DAD quantification and LC-QTOF-MS/MS confirmation.

Germinated soybean is one kind of food and a medicine. In the actual process of producing a large amount of naturally germinated soybean, it is difficult to strictly control the germination process conditions. However, sprout length may be more suitable as the terminal judgment indicator for naturally germinated soybean. An UPLC-DAD method was developed and validated to explore the transformation profiles of soybean isoflavones in germinated yellow or black soybean with different sprout lengths. Moreover, an LC - QTOF-MS/MS method was used to avoid false positive results. The contents of daidzein, glycitein, and genistein almost reached their corresponding maximum values when the sprout length ranged from 1.0 cm to 1.5 cm (P < 0.05). Therefore, yellow soybean is suggested to be the processing raw material with higher contents of those isoflavones, and the optimal sprout length for germinated soybean may be in the range of 1.0-1.5 cm.

Genetic causal relationship between multiple immune cell phenotypes and Parkinson's disease: a two sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization study.

BACKGROUND: The exact etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD), a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, is unclear. It is currently believed that its main pathological basis is a decrease in dopamine concentration in the striatum of the brain. Although many researchers have previously focused on the critical role of the immune response in PD, there has been a lack of valid genetic evidence for a causal association between specific immune cell traits and phenotypes and PD. METHODS: We employed Mendelian randomisation (MR) as an analytical method to effectively assess genetic associations between exposure and outcome. Based on the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to date, causal associations between multiple immune cell phenotypes and PD were validly assessed by using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which are randomly assigned and not subject to any causality. RESULTS: By testing 731 immune cell phenotypes and their association with PD, the results of IVW analysis suggested that some phenotypes were considered to have a causal effect on PD(P＜0.05) . In addition, PD could have an effect on certain immunophenotypes located on Myeloid cell panel, Monocyte panel, the specific immunophenotypic results and statistical analysis values are shown in the text. The results of sensitivity analyses suggested that none of them observed the presence of horizontal pleiotropy. CONCLUSION: Our study identified a close link between immune cells and PD, and the results of this study provide ideas for the study of the immune mechanism of PD and the exploration of effective therapeutic means.

Tumor mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation stimulated by the nuclear receptor RORγ represents an effective therapeutic opportunity in osteosarcoma.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor with a poor prognosis. Here, we show that the nuclear receptor RORγ may serve as a potential therapeutic target in OS. OS exhibits a hyperactivated oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) program, which fuels the carbon source to promote tumor progression. We found that RORγ is overexpressed in OS tumors and is linked to hyperactivated OXPHOS. RORγ induces the expression of PGC-1ß and physically interacts with it to activate the OXPHOS program by upregulating the expression of respiratory chain component genes. Inhibition of RORγ strongly inhibits OXPHOS activation, downregulates mitochondrial functions, and increases ROS production, which results in OS cell apoptosis and ferroptosis. RORγ inverse agonists strongly suppressed OS tumor growth and progression and sensitized OS tumors to chemotherapy. Taken together, our results indicate that RORγ is a critical regulator of the OXPHOS program in OS and provides an effective therapeutic strategy for this deadly disease.

Sinomenine attenuates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by inhibiting TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling.

OBJECTIVE: The present work concentrated on validating whether sinomenine alleviates bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress. METHODS: A rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed through intratracheal injection with 5 mg/kg BLM, and the effects of 30 mg/kg sinomenine on pulmonary inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and 4-hydroxynonenal density were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL staining, and immunohistochemistry. Hydroxyproline content and concentrations of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers were detected using corresponding kits. MRC-5 cells were treated with 10 ng/ml PDGF, and the effects of 1 mM sinomenine on cell proliferation were assessed by EdU assays. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines and the protein levels of collagens, fibrosis markers, and key markers involved in the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling were tested with RT-qPCR and immunoblotting analysis. RESULTS: Sinomenine attenuated pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation while reducing hydroxyproline content and the protein expression of collagens and fibrosis markers in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats. Sinomenine reduced apoptosis in lung samples of BLM-challenged rats by increasing Bcl-2 and reducing Bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein expression. In addition, sinomenine alleviated inflammatory response and oxidative stress in rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by BLM. Moreover, sinomenine inhibited the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling pathway in lung tissues of BLM-stimulated rats. Furthermore, TLR4 inhibitor, TAK-242, attenuated PDGF-induced fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis in MRC-5 cells. CONCLUSION: Sinomenine attenuates BLM-caused pulmonary fibrosis, inflammation, and oxidative stress by inhibiting the TLR4/NLRP3/TGFß signaling, indicating that sinomenine might become a therapeutic candidate to treat pulmonary fibrosis.

Comparison of Complications between Total Intravenous Anaesthesia and Combined Intravenous and Inhalation Anaesthesia after Renal Biopsy in Children.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) compared to combined intravenous and inhalation anaesthesia (CIIA) in paediatric patients undergoing renal biopsy. METHODS: A total of 86 children with nephrotic syndrome, acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, IgG nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus and purpura nephritis were selected from January 2018 to January 2023 in our hospital. All children were divided into the total intravenous anaesthesia group and intravenous inhalational anaesthesia group according to the anaesthesia method. The experimental group comprised 46 children with renal diseases who underwent static aspiration compound anaesthesia during renal biopsy at our hospital from January 2018 to January 2023. Conversely, the control group included 40 children with renal diseases who underwent total intravenous anaesthesia during renal biopsy at the hospital within the same period. Hemodynamic parameters, such as mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SPO2), were assessed at four different time points: Before anesthesia induction (T0), during anesthesia induction (T1), after anesthesia induction (T2), and at the conclusion of the surgery (T3). Puncture success rate, time to renal puncture, time to get out of bed, postoperative recovery from anaesthesia (including time to postoperative awakening and time to return to spontaneous respiration) and incidence of adverse anaesthetic reactions were also included. RESULTS: We observed notable variations in HR and MAP at T2 and T3, as well as SPO2 levels, duration of awakening from anaesthesia and time taken to resume spontaneous respiration between the two groups at T2 (p < 0.05). No statistically significant variances were detected between the two groups concerning adverse reactions to anaesthesia, puncture success rate, duration to renal puncture and time to mobilisation from bed (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, compared with the total intravenous anaesthesia, the implementation of the sedation-aspiration-combined anaesthesia in renal biopsy in children with renal disease features less haemodynamic fluctuation, better postoperative anaesthesia recovery and does not increase the incidence of adverse reactions.

Seipin Deficiency Leads to Energy Dyshomeostasis via Inducing Hypothalamic Neuroinflammation and Aberrant Expression of Neuropeptides.

Seipin is a key regulator of lipid metabolism, the deficiency of which leads to severe lipodystrophy. Hypothalamus is the pivotal center of brain that modulates appetite and energy homeostasis, where Seipin is abundantly expressed. Whether and how Seipin deficiency leads to systemic metabolic disorders via hypothalamus-involved energy metabolism dysregulation remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we demonstrated that Seipin-deficiency induced hypothalamic inflammation, reduction of anorexigenic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), and elevation of orexigenic agonist-related peptide (AgRP). Importantly, administration of rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione antidiabetic agent, rescued POMC and AgRP expression, suppressed hypothalamic inflammation, and restored energy homeostasis in Seipin knockout mice. Our findings offer crucial insights into the mechanism of Seipin deficiency-associated energy imbalance and indicates that rosiglitazone could serve as potential intervening agent towards metabolic disorders linked to Seipin.

Assessment of Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation During Long-Term Exposure to High Altitude in Normal Subjects by Ultrasonography.

PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in dynamic cerebral autoregulation (CA) during short-term and long-term exposure to high altitude with ultrasonography, and also study the sex differences in the response of CA to altitude. METHODS: We assessed the differences in dynamic CA and measured with Doppler ultrasound of the bilateral internal carotid artery (ICA), vertebral artery (VA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the values of basic information within 48 hours and at 2 years after arrival at Tibet in 65 healthy Han young Chinese volunteers, meanwhile, we compared the resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the right MCA at inhale oxygen 8 minutes when a newcomer with 2 years after arrival at Tibet. RESULTS: With 2 years of altitude exposure, the SaO2 of all subjects was above 90%, the mean PEF, DAP, and HR values decreased, HGB increased compared within 48 hours in same-gender groups. Comparisons of cerebral hemodynamics between before 2 years and after 2 years within male and female groups, the mean RI and PI values of bilateral MCA after 2 years were significantly higher than before 2 years, at the same time, the mean RI and PI values of bilateral ICA were significant differences (P < .05) between male groups, with regard to female groups, showed that the mean RI and PI values of bilateral VA were significant differences (P < .05). Comparisons of Right MCA hemodynamics between after oxygen uptake 8 minutes and 2 years, the mean RI and PI values were no significant difference within male and female groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS: Acute mountain sickness could result from an alteration of dynamic autoregulation of cerebral blood flow, but the impaired autoregulation may be corrected with the extension of time, furthermore, the response of CA to altitude in males and females are different.
