Objective:To evaluate the effect of sleep deprivation on the expression of sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) in the cerebellum of immature mice.Methods:Fifty SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 4 weeks, weighing 14-16 g, were divided into 2 groups ( n=25 each) using a random number table method: control group (Con group) and sleep deprivation group (SD group). The chronic sleep deprivation model was prepared by using the multi-platform water environment method, with 20 h of sleep deprivation per day for 10 consecutive days. After sleep deprivation, a balance beam experiment was performed to test the balance and coordination ability of mice. The mice were sacrificed after anesthesia and cerebellar lobular IV-VI (4-6 cb) tissues were taken for microscopic examination of the ultrastructure (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the dendritic spine density of cerebellar 4-6cb Purkinje neurons (by Golgi staining), co-expression of SIRT6 and Calbindin D-28k (CbD-28k) and expression of glucose transporter Glut3 of cerebellar 4-6cb (by immunofluorescence staining). Results:Compared with group Con, the duration of passage through the balance beam was significantly prolonged, and the number of posterior foot slips was increased, the synaptic gap of cerebellar 4-6cb neurons was increased, the thickness of postsynaptic density was increased, the density of dendritic spines of Purkinje cells and the number of positive cells co-expressing SIRT6 and CbD-28k were decreased, and the expression of Glut3 was down-regulated in group SD ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which sleep deprivation decreases the abilities of balance and coordination is related to down-regulating SIRT6 expression in cerebellar Purkinje cells and decreasing neuronal glucose metabolism, thus damaging the synaptic plasticity of cerebellum in immature mice.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Danggui Sinitang in mitigating gouty arthritis （GA） in rats by regulating autophagy via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR） signaling pathway. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly assigned into normal， model， colchicine （0.3 mg·kg-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose Danggui Sinitang （6.54， 13.08， and 26.16 g·kg-1） groups （n=10） and administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage. The rats in the normal group and model group were administrated with equal volume of normal saline by gavage for 7 days. One hour after administration on day 5， the GA model was established by injecting sodium urate suspension （50 g·L-1） into the right ankle joint of rats in other groups except the normal group， and the rats in the normal group were injected with sterile normal saline of the same volume. The swelling and pathological changes of the ankle joint were observed. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1β were determined. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of PI3K， phosphorylated PI3K （p-PI3K）， protein kinase B （Akt）， phosphorylated Akt （p-Akt）， mTOR， phosphorylated mTOR （p-mTOR）， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 Ⅱ/Ⅰ （LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ）， autophagy effector Beclin-1， and ubiquitin-binding protein p62 in the synovial tissue. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR （Real-time PCR） was employed to determine the mRNA levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， LC3， Beclin-1 and p62. ResultCompared with the normal control， the model group showed increased joint swelling index （P<0.01）， elevated serum levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β， inflammatory cell infiltration， and fibrous tissue hyperplasia. In addition， the model group showed up-regulated protein levels of PI3K， p-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， mTOR， p-mTOR， and p62 and mRNA levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， and p62 in the synovial tissue， while it showed down-regulated protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin-1 and mRNA levels of LC3 and Beclin-1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose Danggui Sinitang alleviated the joint swelling （P<0.01）， lowered the serum levels of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β （P<0.05）， and relieved the inflammatory cell infiltration in the synovial tissue of the ankle joint and the fibrous tissue hyperplasia. Moreover， they down-regulated the protein levels of PI3K， p-PI3K， Akt， p-Akt， mTOR， p-mTOR， and p62 and the mRNA levels of PI3K， Akt， mTOR， and p62 in the synovial tissue （P<0.05）， while they up-regulated the protein levels of LC3Ⅱ/Ⅰ and Beclin-1 and the mRNA levels of LC3 and Beclin-1 （P<0.05）. ConclusionDanggui Sinitang， especially at a high dose， can inhibit PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to improve autophagy in the synovial tissue， thereby mitigating GA.

Objective:To evaluate the role of activation of vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (VGLUT2) neurons in vagal nodose ganglion in dexmedetomidine-caused bradycardia in mice.Methods:Ninety-six SPF healthy male VGLUT2-cre mice, aged 10 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 6 groups ( n=16 each) by the random number table method: normal saline control group (NS group), dexmedetomidine group (Dex group), viral control + chemogenetic control + dexmedetomidine group (eGFP-NS+ Dex group), viral transfection + chemogenetic control + dexmedetomidine group (hM4Di-NS+ Dex group), viral control + chemogenetic inhibition + dexmedetomidine group (eGFP-CNO+ Dex group) and viral transfection + chemogenetic inhibition + dexmedetomidine group (hM4Di-CNO+ Dex group). Dexmedetomidine 100 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in Dex group. The equal volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected in NS group. AAV2/9-hSyn-DIO-hM4Di-eGFP was injected in the right nodose ganglion in hM4Di-NS+ Dex group and hM4Di-CNO+ Dex group, and AAV2/9-hSyn-DIO-eGFP was injected in the right nodose ganglion in eGFP-NS+ Dex group and eGFP-CNO+ Dex group, allowing the virus expression for 21 days. On the 22nd day after virus injection, clozapine-n-oxide (CNO) 5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in hM4Di-CNO+ Dex group and eGFP-CNO+ Dex group, the equal volume of normal saline was intraperitoneally injected in hM4Di-NS+ Dex group and eGFP-NS+ Dex group, 1 h later the efficacy of CNO reached the peak, and then dexmedetomidine 100 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected. The respiratory rate, heart rate, SpO 2 and discharge frequency of the right vagal nodose ganglion were synchronously measured by multi-channel electrophysiology in vivo. The expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) and VGLUT2 and co-expression of pERK and VGLUT2 in the right vagal nodose ganglion were detected by immunofluorescence assay. Results:Compared with NS group, the percentage of heart rate variation and neuron firing frequency after administration were significantly increased, and pERK expression was up-regulated in the other five groups ( P<0.05). Compared with Dex group, the percentage of heart rate variation and neuron firing frequency after administration were significantly decreased, and pERK expression was down-regulated in hM4Di-CNO+ Dex group, and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in hM4Di-NS+ Dex group, eGFP-NS+ Dex group and eGFP-CNO+ Dex group ( P>0.05). Compared with hM4Di-CNO+ Dex group, the percentage of heart rate variation and neuron firing frequency after administration were significantly increased, and pERK expression was up-regulated in eGFP-CNO+ Dex group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the percentage of respiratory variation and SpO 2 among the six groups ( P>0.05). The expression of VGLUT2-positive neurons was abundant in nodose ganglia, and the co-expression rate of pERK and VGLUT2 was nearly 90%. The co-expression rate of pERK and VGLUT2 decreased to about 30% after inhibition of VGLUT2 neurons in ganglion. Conclusions:The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine causes bradycardia is associated with activation of VGLUT2 neurons in vagal nodose ganglia in mice.

OBJECTIVES@#To explore the role and potential mechanisms of chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1) in coronary artery lesions in a mouse model of Kawasaki disease (KD)-like vasculitis.@*METHODS@#Four-week-old male SPF-grade C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group and a model group, with 10 mice in each group. The model group mice were intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mL of lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE) to establish a mouse model of KD-like vasculitis, while the control group mice were injected with an equal volume of normal saline. The general conditions of the mice were observed on the 3rd, 7th, and 14th day after injection. Changes in coronary artery tissue pathology were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. The level of CHI3L1 in mouse serum was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression and localization of CHI3L1, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in coronary artery tissue. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of CHI3L1, vWF, vascular endothelial cadherin (VE cadherin), Caspase-3, B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) in coronary artery tissue.@*RESULTS@#The serum level of CHI3L1 in the model group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the expression of CHI3L1 in the coronary artery tissue was higher, while the expression of vWF was lower in the model group. The relative expression levels of CHI3L1, Bax, Caspase-3, NF-κB, and p-NF-κB were significantly higher in the model group than in the control group (P<0.05). The relative expression levels of vWF, VE cadherin, and Bcl-2 were lower in the model group than in the control group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In the LCWE-induced mouse model of KD-like vasculitis, the expression levels of CHI3L1 in serum and coronary arteries increase, and it may play a role in coronary artery lesions through endothelial cell apoptosis mediated by inflammatory reactions.

Objective:To investigate any change in the effective connectivity between the bilateral anterior central gyruses after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Methods:Twenty-one healthy subjects were examined using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after receiving continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The brain atlas of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was used for fine partitioning of the bilateral anterior central gyruses. Granger causality analysis was used to compare any changes in the effective connectivity between them.Results:After the cTBS inhibited the right M1 area, significant changes in effective connectivity among the sub-regions of the bilateral M1 area were observed. The effective connectivity of the right upper limb to the left upper limb and the left head to face were weakened, while that of the left upper limb to the right head, as well as of the face to the right upper limb was enhanced.Conclusion:For people whose right M1 area has been inhibited by cTBS, the effective connectivity changes in both upper limb functional areas of the M1 region reflect inter-hemispheric inhibition. Opposite changes were found in the trunk and upper limbs.

Objective:To study the role of miR-155 in the differentiation of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cells, and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods:Human miR-155 analogues were constructed and transfected into PTC BCPAP cells in vitro. CCK8 test and Transwell test were used to observe the changes of cell proliferation and invasiveness. The miR-155 was transfected into BCPAP cells in vitro and the protein background and phosphorylation expression of MAPK pathway were detected by Western blot. ERK pathway inhibitor U0126 was given to observe whether it could reverse the abnormal proliferation and invasion of thyroid cancer cells caused by over-expression of miR-155.Results:The proliferation of BCPAP cells was detected by CCK8 test 48 hours after overexpression of miR-155, and the invasiveness of thyroid cancer cells was significantly enhanced by Transwell test 48 hours after overexpression of miR-155 ( P<0.05) ; Western blot method found that the expression of JNK, ERK and p38 in MAPK signal pathway was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05) . At the same time, the expression of p-ERK protein in the cells was increased significantly ( P<0.05) . The expression of p-ERK in the cells treated with ERK pathway inhibitor U0126 and miR-155 was significantly lower than that in the miR-155 group ( P<0.05) . By detecting the proliferation and invasion of cells in each group, we found that the U0126 could reverse the proliferation and invasion promoting effect caused by miR-155. Conclusion:miR-155 can promote the proliferation and invasion of PTC BCPAP cells by activating the ERK pathway of MAPK pathway, which provides a potential target for the treatment of thyroid cancer.

OBJECTIVE@#To provide a reference for using intraoral scanners for making clinical diagnostic dentures of edentulous jaws by comparing the accuracy of three intraoral scanners for primary impression and jaw relation record of edentulous jaws.@*METHODS@#This study contained 6 primary impressions of the edentulous patients. Each of the impressions consisted of the maxillary primary impression, the mandibular primary impression and the jaw relation record. For each of them, a dental cast scanner (Dentscan Y500) was used to obtain stereolithography (STL) data as reference scan, and then three intraoral scanners including i500, Trios 3 and CEREC Primescan were used for three times to obtain STL data as experiment groups. In Geomagic Studio 2013 software, trueness was obtained by comparing experiment groups with the reference scan, and the precision was obtained from intragroup comparisons. Registered maxillary data of the intraoral scan with reference scan, the morphological error of jaw relation record was obtained by comparing jaw relation record of the intraoral scan with the reference scan. Registered mandibular data with jaw relation record of intraoral scan and the displacement of the jaw position were evaluated. Independent samples t test and Mann-Whitney U test in the SPSS 20.0 statistical software were used to statistically analyze the trueness, precision and morphological error of jaw relation record of three intraoral scanners. The Bland-Altman diagram was used to evaluate the consistency of the jaw relationship measured by the three intraoral scanners.@*RESULTS@#The trueness of i500, Trios 3 and CEREC Primescan scanners was (182.34±101.21) μm, (145.21±71.73) μm, and (78.34±34.79) μm for maxilla; (106.42±21.63) μm, and 95.08 (63.08) μm, (78.45±42.77) μm for mandible. There was no significant difference in trueness of the three scanners when scanning the maxilla and mandible(P>0.05). The precision of the three scanners was 147.65 (156.30) μm, (147.54±83.33) μm, and 40.30 (32.80) μm for maxilla; (90.96±30.77) μm, (53.73±23.56) μm, and 37.60 (93.93) μm for mandible. The precision of CEREC Primescan scanner was significantly better than that of the other two scanners for maxilla (P<0.05). Trios 3 and CEREC Primescan scanners were significantly better than i500 scanner for mandible (P<0.05). The precision of the i500 and Trios 3 scanners for mandible was superior to maxilla (P<0.05). The upper limit of 95% confidence intervals of trueness and precision of three scanners for both maxilla and mandible were within ±300 μm which was clinically accepted. The morphological error of jaw relation record of the three scanners was (337.68±128.54) μm, (342.89±195.41) μm, and (168.62±88.35) μm. The 95% confidence intervals of i500 and Trios 3 scanners were over 300 μm. CEREC Primescan scanner was significantly superior to i500 scanner(P<0.05).The displacement of the jaw position of the three scanners was (0.83±0.56) mm, (0.80±0.45) mm, and (0.91±0.75) mm for vertical dimension; (0.79±0.58) mm, (0.62±0.18) mm, and (0.53±0.53) mm for anterior and posterior directions; (0.95±0.59) mm, (0.69±0.45) mm, and (0.60±0.22) mm for left and right directions. The displacement of the jaw position of the three scanners in vertical dimension, anterior and posterior directions and the left and right directions were within the 95% consistency limit.@*CONCLUSION@#Three intraoral scanners showed good trueness and precision. The i500 and Trios 3 scanners had more errors in jaw relation record, but they were used as primary jaw relation record. It is suggested that three intraoral scanners can be used for obtaining digital data to make diagnostic dentures and individual trays, reducing possible deforming or crack when sending impressions from clinic to laboratory.

Objective:To compare the rate of recruitment in two types of active straight leg raise (ASLR) and to investigate the activation patterns of the related muscles. Methods:From June to October, 2018, eleven healthy subjects were recruited. Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of unilateral rectus femoris, bilateral rectus abdominis, internal oblique abdominis, external oblique abdominis and multifidus were recorded in normal ASLR (Action A) and raising leg for ten seconds (Action B). %maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of these muscles was processed and analyzed. Results:%MVIC of ipsilateral internal oblique muscle and external oblique muscle were greater than the opposite side (t > 2.549, P < 0.05) in Action A; %MVIC of ipsilateral internal oblique muscle, external oblique muscle and rectus abdominis muscle were greater than the opposite side (t > 2.240, P < 0.05) in Action B; compared with action B, Action A had higher %MVIC of bilateral internal oblique and rectus femoris (t > 3.549, P < 0.05). Conclusion:The activation mode of ipsilateral dominance was shown in both actions, and the different motion control strategies may be adopted by the neuromuscular system in different ASLR.

Objective To explore the forensic pathological characteristics and the main identification points of fatal cardiac tamponade. Methods 38 cases of fatal cardiac tamponade from department of pathology, the first affiliated hospital of chengdu university of TCM from 2005 to 2015 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Results Fatal cardiac tamponade mostly occurred to men (71.1%) with an average age of 44; Bloody effusion accounted for 85% of the direct causes of death (34 cases). The most underlying causes of death were diseases (73.7%), majorly aortic dissection, coronary heart disease and malignant tumors. Seventy five percent of death occurred within 12 hours of illness. Medical behaviors were involved in 30 cases (78.9%), of which 26 cases (86.7%)were without medical malpractice. The relationship between injury and disease was involved in 15 fatal cases (39.5%). Conclusion The basic requirement for accurately completing forensic medical appraisal of fatal cardiac tamponade cases was to master the forensic pathological characteristics and the path of forensic identification.
