ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the morphological characteristics of three types of clinically rare cerebral aneurysms and arterial bifurcations.Methods A total of 17 patients with clinically rare cerebral aneurysms,including anterior cerebral artery-pericallosal artery aneurysms(ACA-PA aneurysms,n=8),internal carotid artery-anterior choroidal artery bifurcation aneurysms(ICA-AChA aneurysms,n=5)and vertebral artery-posterior inferior cerebellar artery bifurcation aneurysms(VA-PICA aneurysms,n=4),who received treatment in the Shijiazhuang People's Hospital between January 2017 and April 2020 were enrolled in this study.The clinical baseline data were recorded,and the morphological parameters of the aneurysms were determined.The bifurcation angle,small lateral angle and large lateral angle were defined as φ1,φ2 and φ3,respectively.D1,S1 and T1 represented the diameter,cross-sectional area and tortuosity of the main blood vessel,respectively.D2,S2 and T2 were defined as the corresponding parameters of the branch vessel forming small lateral angle with the main vessel.D3,S3 and T3 were the corresponding morphological parameters of the contralateral branch vessel.Results All of the ICA-AChA and VA-PICA bifurcation aneurysms were type D aneurysms and oriented towards the small lateral angle.Six ACA-PA bifurcation aneurysms were type C aneurysm,and 5 of them were oriented toward the small lateral angle.The S2 and φ2 of the ACA-PA and ICA-AChA bifurcations harboring aneurysms were significantly smaller than S3 and φ3(P<0.05),while T2 was remarkably largerthan T3(P<0.05).The VA-PICA bifurcations also showed a similar manifestations.Conclusion These three types of clinically rare cerebral aneurysms are mostly oriented towards the small lateral angle,and the diameter and cross-section area of the branch forming small lateral angle with parent artery were smaller than those of the contralateral branch vessel,while the tortuosity was greater than that of the contralateral branch.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze and determine the differential components of freeze-dried and sun-dried Panacis Quinquefolii Radix(PQR), and to compare the differences in their pro-angiogenic activities. MethodFingerprints of freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR were established based on ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC), and chemometrics methods such as principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were combined to determine the differential saponin composition of the two decoction pieces, and six representative saponins were selected and their contents in freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR were determined by UPLC. Transgenic zebrafish line Tg(fli1a∶EGFP) embryos fertilized for 24 h were selected, and different doses of 70% methanol extracts of freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR(10, 30 mg·L-1) were used to intervene in normal zebrafish and in a zebrafish model of intersegmental vascular(ISV) injury induced by vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor Ⅱ(PTK787), then the development of subintestinal vein(SIV) and ISV of zebrafish was observed, SIV diameter, mean number of crossings and mean number of germinations were determined, and the ISV vascular index was calculated, in order to compare the pro-angiogenic activities of the two decoction pieces. ResultThe similarity of the fingerprints of freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR decoction pieces was>0.950, and 17 common peaks were identified, of which 6 common peaks were designated as peak 6(ginsenoside Rg1), peak 7(ginsenoside Re), peak 8(ginsenoside Rb1), peak 11(ginsenoside Rc), peak 13(ginsenoside Rb2), and peak 16(ginsenoside Rd), respectively. A total of 11 differential saponin components were screened by PCA and OPLS-DA, indicating that there were some differences in the contents of the components in the two decoction pieces. The results of determination showed that the contents of ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rb1 and Rb2 in freeze-dried PQR were higher than those in sun-dried PQR, while the contents of ginsenosides Rc and Rd were lower than those in sun-dried PQR(P<0.05, P<0.01). In the study of the pro-angiogenic effect on normal zebrafish embryos, compared with the blank group, and the SIV vessel diameter, mean germination rate and mean crossover rate were significantly higher in the high-dose groups of freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR(P<0.01), and the vessel diameter, mean numbers of crossings and germinations in the freeze-dried PQR group were higher than those of the sun-dried PQR group(P<0.05). In the study of the pro-angiogenic effect on zebrafish embryos with ISV injury, the development of ISV in the model group was significantly inhibited when compared with the blank group, compared with the model group, different dose groups of freeze-dried and sun-dried PQR could promote the growth and sprouting of ISV, and the number of normal blood vessels in the freeze-dried PQR group was significantly higher than that in the sun-dried PQR group at the same dosage(P<0.05). ConclusionFreeze-drying can effectively avoid the loss and secondary transformation of ginsenosides in PQR, and its angiogenic activity is better than that of sun-dried PQR, which can provide a reference for the production and development of high-quality PQR decoction pieces.

ABSTRACT
The GapC protein of Streptococcus uberis located on the surface of bacteria is a protein with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. It participates in cellular processes and exhibits a variety of biological activities. In addition, it has good antigenicity. The aim of this study was to predict the possible B-cell epitopes of the GapC protein and verify the immunogenicity of candidate epitope peptides. The gapC gene of S. uberis isolate RF5-1 was cloned into a recombinant expression plasmid pET-28a-GapC and inducibly expressed. The purified protein was used to immunize experimental rabbits to produce anti-GapC polyclonal antibodies. The three-dimensional structure and three-dimensional location of the GapC B-cell epitopes and the homology comparison of the GapC protein and its B-cell epitopes were carried out using bioinformatics softwares. The results showed that the 44-kDa GapC protein had a good immunological reactivity. Six linear and 3 conformational dominant B-cell epitopes against the GapC protein were selected and synthesized. Three dimensional analysis indicated that the selected peptides have better antigen epitope formation potential. Rabbit anti-GapC polyclonal antibodies were generated after immunized with the purified GapC protein, and the polyclonal antibodies were used to identify the epitope peptide by an indirect ELISA. The ELISA results showed that all of the 9 epitope peptides could react with anti-GapC polyclonal antibodies with varying titers. Among them, the epitope polypeptide 266AANDSYGYTEDPIVSSD282 reacted with the polyclonal antibodies significantly stronger than with other epitope peptides. This study laid an experimental foundation for in-depth understanding of the immunological properties and utilizing effective epitopes of the GapC protein of S. uberis.

Objective:To investigate the asymmetric geometry of middle cerebral artery (MCA) bifurcations and aneurysm formation.Methods:From January 2017 to April 2020, 65 patients with MCA aneurysm underwent 3D-digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in our hospital were recruited in this study; 170 patients without arterial stenosis or cerebral aneurysm at the same time period were selected as normal control group; their corresponding morphological parameters of MCA bifurcations in the imaging data were analyzed. Bifurcation angle was termed as φ1, while small and large lateral angles were termed as φ2 and φ3, respectively. D2, S2, C2, T2 and E2 represented diameter, sectional area, circumference, tortuosity and ellipticity of the branch forming angle φ2 with parent vessel, respectively; whereas D3, S3, C3, T3 and E3 represented diameter, sectional area, circumference, tortuosity and ellipticity of the branch forming angle φ2 with parent vessel on the contralateral branch, respectively. The independent factors affecting the formation of MCA aneurysm were screened by binary Logistic regression, and the predictive value of independent factors affecting the formation of MCA aneurysm was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:(1) The aneurysmal group had significantly larger φ1, significantly smaller φ2 and φ3 than the normal control group ( P<0.05); D3, S3, C3, T2, T3 and E2 in the aneurysmal group were significantly higher/larger than those in the normal control group ( P<0.05). In terms of the symmetry of bilateral branches of blood vessels, the difference of φ3/φ2 ratio between the normal control group and aneurysm group was statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) Binary Logistic regression results showed that φ2 was the protective factor for aneurysm formation ( OR=0.880, 9 5%CI: 0.844-0.918, P=0.000), while D3 and φ3/φ2 ratio were the risk factors for aneurysm formation ( OR=4.493, 9 5%CI: 1.414-14.278, P=0.011; OR=30.676, 95%CI: 9.884-95.202, P=0.000). (3) The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve of φ2 was the largest, reaching 0.93, and the optimal cut-off point was 104.59°, enjoying sensitivity and specificity of 87.7% and 85.9%, respectively. Conclusion:Normal MCA bifurcations almost show symmetrical morphology, whereas aneurysmal MCA bifurcations show asymmetrical morphology in both lateral angles and daughter branches; φ2 is the best morphological parameter to predict the aneurysm formation of MCA bifurcations.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the application of modified perfusion device pre-flushing method in double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) treatment and nursing care effect on patients with liver failure. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted; 56 patients with liver failure who were consistent with the enrolled standard and admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital fromJune 2014 to December 2016 were the objects of the study and their clinical data were collected. Ten patients involving the results of 17 case times from June 2014 to April 2015 were selected as the control group by using the traditional method of pre-flushing, and 46 patients involving the results of 68 case times from May 2015 to December 2016 were chosen as the observation group by using the modified perfusion device pre-flushing method. Both groups adopted effective nursing care cooperation: such as closely observe the changes of symptoms and signs of patients during the peri-treatment period, strengthen psychological care, maintain pipeline properly, and carry out the preventive management of anticoagulation and potential complications. The changes of symptoms and signs in the patients of two groups were observed, the DPMAS pre-flushing time and single time effective treatment time of the two groups were compared, before and 3 days after DPMAS treatment, the changes of serum total bilirubin (TBil), total bile acid (TBA) and its clearance rate, the changes of electrolytes, liver and kidney functions, blood routine and blood coagulation function were observed and compared between the two groups to evaluate and analyze the therapeutic effect of DPMAS.Results In the two groups, there were 56 patients involving 85 case times of DPMAS treatment all successfully completed, and the patients' symptoms and signs were improved significantly. The pre-flushing time of the observation group was obviously shorter than that in the control group (minutes: 29.5±13.1 vs. 38.9±14.7), and the single effective treatment time was obviously longer than that in the control group (minutes: 6.7±1.1 vs. 3.4±0.9,P 0.05), and urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), Na+ and K+ had no significant changes compared with those before treatment (allP > 0.05). The TBil clearance rate [(42.5±15.5)% vs. (32.9±13)%] and TBA clearance rate [(27±8.9)% vs. (17.1±5.8)%] in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (allP < 0.05). There were no adverse events such as electrolyte disturbance, errhysis or bleeding found in the two groups during the treatment. In the study, there were 8 case times with self feeling of skin itching, 8 case times of skin rash, 6 case times of nausea and vomiting, 6 case times of chest tightness, 5 case times of blood pressure dropping phenomena and 4 case times of fever symptoms, and after the symptomatic treatments and nursing intervention, all the above symptoms were relieved or disappeared.Conclusion The modified perfusion device pre-flushing method can effectively elevate the pre-flushing effect and therapeutic effect, it is simple, time-saving, can reduce the economic burden of the patients, thus it is worthy to be used widely in clinic, during the therapeutic process, reasonable and effective nursing measures are practiced, that is the key to guarantee the successful treatment of patients.

There is a need for nurses to provide accessible social support and psychological intervention, help them cope with illness uncertainty positively.
ABSTRACT
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) offer a non-selective and receptor-independent mode to promote cellular uptake. Although the non-specificity of CPP-mediated internalization allows this approach applicable to a wide range of tumor types potentially, their universality is a significant obstacle to their clinical utility for targeted delivery of cancer therapeutics and imaging agents. Accordingly, many reports have focused on selective switching of systemically delivered inert CPPs into their active form in lesions (tumor). In this review, our attention is mainly confined to such an enzyme-sensitive domain incorporated delivery system with activatable CPPs (ACPPs), which have displayed the exciting strength in balancing the CPPs' pros and cons, and potential in the treatment and diagnosis of some diseases.
