Relationship among subjective well-being,depression-anxiety-stress and dispositional mindfulness in professional athletes / 中国心理卫生杂志

Objective:To explore the relationship among subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress and dispositional mindfulness in professional athletes,and the role of cognitive fusion and experiential avoidance and age in the relationship.Methods:Totally 423 professional athletes were selected and assessed with the Satisfac-tion with Life Scale(SWLS),Positive Affect Scale(PAS),Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale(DASS-21),Five Fac-et Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ),Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire(CFQ),and Acceptance and Action Ques-tionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-Ⅱ).Results:After controlling for gender,the FFMQ scores were positively correlated with SWB scores(β=0.35),and negatively correlated with DASS-21 scores(β=-0.40).The scores of CFQ and AAQ-Ⅱplayed a sequential mediating role in the relationship between FFMQ scores and the scores of SWB and DASS-21(β=0.04,-0.12).Age moderated the relationship between the scores of FFMQ and SWB(β=-0.01).Conclu-sion:The subjective well-being and depression-anxiety-stress may be related to dispositional mindfulness in profes-sional athletes,and age could moderate the relationship between subjective well-being and dispositional mindful-ness.

Break the domestic public hospital clinical research evaluation system under the background of"five only" / 现代医院

Objective The purpose of this article is to summarize and review the current status of the construction of clinical research evaluation systems in domestic public hospitals,identify existing problems in the evaluation system,and propose development strategies and suggestions.Methods Retrieved relevant articles,dissertations and policies from the past five years(2018-2022),screened the titles,viewed the full texts of 52 selected papers and their references,and summarized them.Results The"five-only"indicators have long been an important indicator for evaluating clinical research in public hospitals,but in today's scientific research environment and policy environment,the"five-only"evaluation system has revealed its utilitarian draw-backs and gradually evolved into a hindrance to scientific research.It is urgent to break through the"five-only"orientation and establish a clinical research evaluation system oriented towards"transforming and applying transformation of scientific research achievements".Conclusion The evaluation system for clinical research should break the previous"five-only"evaluation model based on quantity-oriented scientific research evaluation.We can draw on the framework of the research output,influence,and environment indicators in the UK's REF Excellence Framework model,combine the American APT system and the Chinese STEM indicator dimensions,explore multi-outcome evaluation,integrate developmental indicators,and continuously improve the indica-tor system and application methods in practice to promote the development of clinical research in public hospitals.

Association between preoperative serum β 2-microglobulin concentrations and postoperative delirium in elderly patients / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the association between preoperative serum β 2-microglobulin (β 2MG) concentrations and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients. Methods:The study selected patients who underwent knee or hip arthroplasty under spinal-epidural anesthesia on an elective basis at Qingdao Municipal Hospital from May 2021 to November 2022. The patients were divided into a POD group and a non-POD group based on the occurrence of POD. The study was conducted as part of the Perioperative Neurocognitive Impairment and Biomarkers Lifestyle Cohort, which was a nested case-control study. The study collected baseline data from two groups of patients and analyzed the differences between them. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for POD. The stability of the regression model was tested using sensitivity analysis. The mediation model was used to examine whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers mediated the relationship between β 2MG and POD. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn and the area under the curve was calculated to evaluate the accuracy of preoperative β 2MG concentrations and CSF biomarker concentration in predicting POD. Results:There were 57 cases in POD group and 449 cases in non-POD group. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the increased β 2MG and CSF total tau protein (t-tau) concentrations were risk factors for POD, and the increased CSF β-amyloid 42 concentration was a protective factor for POD after adjustment for multiple confounders such as age, gender, education, Mini-Mental State Examination, history of hypertension and infusion volume ( P<0.05). The results of mediation analysis showed that the serum β 2MG′s effect on POD was partly mediated by t-tau (18.1%). The results of the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve of the β 2MG concentration combined with the CSF biomarker concentration was 0.742. Conclusions:Elevated preoperative serum β 2MG concentration is a risk factor for POD in elderly patients, and the relationship may be partly mediated by CSF t-tau.

Relationship between preoperative serum bilirubin concentration and postoperative delirium in patients undergoing knee or hip replacement / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between preoperative serum bilirubin concentrations and postoperative delirium (POD) in the patients undergoing knee or hip replacement.Methods:Medical records from 413 patients undergoing knee or hip arthroplasty were selected from August 2020 to October 2023 at Qingdao Municipal Hospital using a nested case-control design based on the PNDABLE study cohort. The patients were divided into POD group ( n=77) and non-POD group ( n=336) according to whether POD occurred. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for POD. The significance of mediation effect was tested. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate the accuracy of risk factors in predicting POD. Results:There were significant differences in age, education time, ratio of diabetes history, Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale score, total bilirubin concentration, direct bilirubin concentration, indirect bilirubin concentration, Aβ 42 concentration, p-tau concentration, t-tau concentration, Aβ 42/p-tau ratio and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio between POD group and non-POD group ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin were risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). The results of mediation effects showed that the concentration of total tau protein in CSF partly mediated the relationship between high serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin concentrations and POD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin combined with CSF biomarker concentrations in predicting POD was 0.83 ( P<0.001). Conclusions:Preoperative elevated concentrations of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin are risk factors for POD in the patients undergoing knee or hip replacement. CSF t-tau concentration has a partly mediating role in the association between serum total bilirubin, direct bilirubin and indirect bilirubin concentrations and the development of POD.

The trend, problems discovered, and enlightenment to hospital management of medical insurance fund unannounced inspection / 中华医院管理杂志

The rational use of medical insurance fund(MIF) plays an important role in promoting the high-quality development of public hospitals, and the supervision of MIF is in a trend of under the rule of law, normalization, professionalization and standardization, and unannounced inspection will become the norm. The authors systematically analyzed three main trends of MIF unannounced inspections, namely, gradually increasing intensity, constantly innovating methods, and increasingly serious consequences. The problems exposed in unannounced inspections were sorted out from five dimensions: form of results, severity, scope of attribution, subjective intention, and regulatory screening ideas. The enlightenment of MIF unannounced inspections to hospital management was explored from four aspects: compliance awareness, organizational system, fine management, and daily supervision. It was proposed that public hospitals should transform their roles and positions, improve the working mechanism of departmental collaboration, and achieve fine management in policy understanding, system formulation, process design, information support, data governance, regulatory implementation, personnel training, and performance matching. At the same time, internal simulated unannounced inspections in hospitals should be regarded as a routine work.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (IALL). Methods: A retrospective cohort study.Clinical data, treatment and prognosis of 28 cases of IALL who have been treated at Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University and Baoding Children's Hospital from October 2013 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. Based on the results of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), all patients were divided into KMT2A gene rearrangement (KMT2A-R) positive group and KMT2A-R negative group. The prognosis of two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank test were used to analyze the survival of the patients. Results: Among 28 cases of IALL, there were 10 males and 18 females, with the onset age of 10.9 (9.4,11.8) months. In terms of immune classification, 25 cases were B-ALL (89%), while the remaining 3 cases were T-ALL (11%). Most infant B-ALL showed pro-B lymphocyte phenotype (16/25,64%). A total of 22 cases (79%) obtained chromosome karyotype results, of which 7 were normal karyotypes, no complex karyotypes and 15 were abnormal karyotypes were found. Among abnormal karyotypes, there were 4 cases of t (9; 11), 2 cases of t (4; 11), 2 cases of t (11; 19), 1 case of t (1; 11) and 6 cases of other abnormal karyotypes. A total of 19 cases (68%) were positive for KMT2A-R detected by FISH. The KMT2A fusion gene was detected by real-time PCR in 16 cases (57%). A total of 24 patients completed standardized induction chemotherapy and were able to undergo efficacy evaluation, 23 cases (96%) achieved complete remission through induction chemotherapy, 4 cases (17%) died of relapse. The 5-year event free survival rate (EFS) was (46±13)%, and the 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was (73±10)%.The survival time was 31.3 (3.3, 62.5) months. There was no significant statistical difference in 5-year EFS ((46±14)% vs. (61±18)%) and 5-year OS ((64±13)% vs. (86±13)%) between the KMT2A-R positive group (15 cases) and the KMT2A-R negative group (9 cases) (χ2=1.88, 1.47, P=0.170, 0.224). Conclusions: Most IALL patients were accompanied by KMT2A-R. They had poor tolerance to traditional chemotherapy, the relapse rate during treatment was high and the prognosis was poor.

Objective:To evaluate the role of glutathione S-transferase μ1 (GSTM1) expression in mild hypothermia-induced mitigation of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the relationship with microglial polarization.Methods:Eighty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 260-280 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), cerebral I/R group (I/R group), mild hypothermia group (H group), and GSTM1 inhibitor + mild hypothermia group (IH group). The rat model of cerebral I/R injury was prepared using the filament occlusion method. The filament was removed to restore blood flow after the left middle cerebral artery was blocked for 2 h, and the rats′ brain and rectal temperature were maintained at 36-37 ℃ during the period. The vessels were only isolated and ligated without occlusion in S group. In H group, the entire body was wiped with 75% ethanol immediately after removing the filament, and the brain and rectal temperatures were maintained at 32-33 ℃ for 3 h, and the other procedures were the same as those previously described in I/R group. In IH group, GSTM1 inhibitor itaconic acid 8.6 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 24 and 1 h before developing the model, and the other procedures were the same as those previously described in H group. Neurological deficits were evaluated using a modified neurological severity score (mNSS) at 24 h of reperfusion, and then the animals were sacrificed and the brains were removed for observation of cerebral infarction (by TTC staining) and for determination of the expression of GSTM1, M1-type microglial marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and M2-type microglial marker arginase-1 (Arg-1) (by Western blot), expression of GSTM1, iNOS and Arg-1 mRNA (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Compared with S group, the mNSS and percentage of cerebral infarct size were significantly increased, and the expression of iNOS and Arg-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated, the expression of GSTM1 and mRNA was down-regulated, and the contents of IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 and TGF-β were increased in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group and IH group, the mNSS and percentage of cerebral infarct size were significantly decreased, and the expression of iNOS protein and mRNA was down-regulated, the expression of Arg-1 protein and mRNA and GSTM1 was up-regulated, the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased, and the contents of TGF-β and IL-10 were increased in H group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Up-regulated expression of GSTM1 is involved in mild hypothermia-induced mitigation of cerebral I/R injury, which is associated with inhibition of microglial polarization toward the M1 phenotype and promotion of polarization toward the M2 phenotype.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of selective cerebral mild hypothermia on small ubiquitin-like modifier 2/3 (SUMO2/3) modification of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods:Sixty clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 240-260 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), cerebral I/R group (I/R group), selective cerebral mild hypothermia group (HT group) and normal temperature group (NT group). The operation was performed under the monitoring of cerebral temperature and rectal temperature.Only the cervical blood vessels were exposed in S group, while focal cerebral I/R was induced by 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) followed by 24 h reperfusion in anesthetized animals in the other three groups.In HT group and NT group, 4 and 37 ℃ normal saline was perfused through the left internal carotid artery at a rate of 80 ml·kg -1·h -1 for 15 min, respectively. Modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion. Then the rats were sacrificed under deep anesthesia, brains were removed, brain tissues were obtained for determination of the percentage of cerebral infarct size (by TTC staining), and the ischemic penumbra tissues in the cerebral cortex were removed for examination of the ultra-structural changes of mitochondria (with a transmission electron microscope) and for determination of the SUMO2/3 modification of Drp1 (by CO-IP), expression of total Drp1 (T-Drp1) and total cytochrome c (T-Cytc) (by Western blot), and expression of mitochondrial outer membrane Drp1 (M-Drp1) and cytoplasmic Cytc (C-Cytc) (by Western blot) after isolation of mitochondria and cytoplasm. Results:Compared with S group, the mNSS and percentage of cerebral infarct size were significantly increased, the expression of M-Drp1, T-Drp1, C-Cytc and T-Cytc was up-regulated, and SUMO2/3 modification of Drp1 in ischemic penumbra area was increased ( P<0.05), the fragmentation of mitochondria was aggravated, and cristae rupture and vacuolation were obvious in the other three groups. Compared with I/R group, the mNSS and percentage of cerebral infarct size were significantly decreased, the expression of M-Drp1, T-Drp1, C-Cytc and T-Cytc was down-regulated, SUMO2/3 modification of Drp1 was increased ( P<0.05), the fragmentation of mitochondria was significantly attenuated, and cristae rupture and vacuolation were weakened in HT group. There were no significant differences in these detection parameters between NT group and I/R group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which selective cerebral mild hypothermia alleviates the cerebral I/R injury is related to increased SUMO2/3 modification of Drp1, decreased binding of Drp1 to mitochondrial outer membrane, and reduced mitochondrial excessive fission in rats.

m7G-lncRNAs are potential biomarkers for prognosis and tumor microenvironment in patients with colon cancer / 南方医科大学学报

OBJECTIVE@#To assess the value of m7G-lncRNAs in predicting the prognosis and microenvironment of colorectal cancer (CRC).@*METHODS@#We screened m7G-lncRNAs from TCGA to construct an m7G-lncRNAs risk model using multivariate Cox analysis, which was validated using ROC and C-index curves. Calibration and nomogram were used to predict the prognosis of CRC patients. Point-bar charts and K-M survival curves were used to assess the correlation of risk scores with the patients' clinical staging and prognosis. CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE were used to explore the association between the tumor microenvironment and immune cell infiltration in patients in high and low risk groups and the correlation of risk scores with microsatellite instability, stem cell index and immune checkpoint expression. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed, and the key targets regulated by m7G-lncRNAs were identified and validated in paired samples of CRC and adjacent tissues by immunoblotting.@*RESULTS@#We identified a total of 1722 m7G-lncRNAs from TCGA database, from which 12 lncRNAs were screened to construct the risk model. The AUCs of the risk model for predicting survival outcomes at 1, 3 and 5 years were 0.727, 0.747 and 0.794, respectively. The AUC of the nomogram for predicting prognosis was 0.794, and the predicted results were consistent with actual survival outcomes of the patients. The patients in the high-risk group showed more advanced tumor stages and a greater likelihood of high microsatellite instability than those in the low-risk group (P < 0.05). The tumor stemness index was negatively correlated with the risk score (r=-0.19; P=7.3e-05). Patients in the high-risk group had higher stromal cell scores (P=0.0028) and higher total scores (P=0.007) with lowered expressions of activated mast cells (r=-0.11; P=0.045) and resting CD4+ T cells (r=-0.14; P=0.01) and increased expressions of most immune checkpoints (P < 0.05). ATXN2 (P= 0.006) and G3BP1 (P=0.007) were identified as the key targets regulated by m7G-lncRNAs, and their expressions were both higher in CRC than in adjacent tissues.@*CONCLUSION@#The risk model based on 12 m7G-lncRNAs has important prognostic value for CRC and can reflect the microenvironment and the efficacy of immunotherapy in the patients.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the extraction technology of modified Tabusen- 2（MT-2），and to investigate inhibitory effects of the extract obtained by the optimal technology on osteoclast differentiation. METHODS The index components of MT- 2 process optimization were selected by using network pharmacology. Based on single factor tests ，the extraction technology of MT- 2 was optimized by Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology according to the comprehensive score of contents of above index components ，and then validated. RAW 264.7 cells were induced by receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand（100 ng/mL） to prepare osteoclast differentiation model. Inhibitory effects of MT- 2 extract（18.6，37.2，74.4 ng/mL）obtained by the optimal technology on osteoclast differentiation were investigated. RESULTS The index components screened by network pharmacology included chlorogenic acid ，terpineol diglucoside ，isochlorogenic acid A ，1，5-dicaffeoylquinic acid ，hydroxysafflower yellow A ， ginsenoside Rg 1 and ginsenoside Rb 1. The optimal extraction technology of MT- 2 was ethanol volume fraction of 60％ ，the solid-liquid ratio of 1 ∶ 14（g/mL），extraction time of 94 min and extraction times of twice. The average comprehensive score obtained by the three validation experiments was 95.50，and the relative error with the predicted value （95.75）was －0.26％. Compared with osteoclastic differentiation model cells ，the cells treated with MT- 2 extract prepared by the optimal technology were mostly mononuclear round cells ，and the number of osteoclasts decreased significantly （P＜0.05），its inhibitory effects tended to strengthen with the increase of drug concentration. CONCLUSIONS The optimal extraction technology of MT- 2 is stable and feasible. Obtained extract can inhibit osteoclast differentiation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of M1 microglia-derived exosomes (M1-exo) on neuronal injury after oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration, and to explore its mechanism.Methods:The mouse microglia BV2 cells grown in logarithmic growth phase were added with 100 μg/L liposolysaccharide (LPS) and 20 μg/L interferon-γ (IFN-γ) to induce the polarization of microglia into M1 phenotype. M1 microglia were identified by Western blotting, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and immunofluorescence. The supernatant of M1 microglia was collected, and exosomes were extracted by ExoQuick-TC TM kit. The morphology of exosomes were observed by transmission electron microscope and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and the expression of characteristic proteins CD9 and CD63 of exosomes were detected by Western blotting. The well-growing mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells were divided into six groups: the cells in group C were conventionally-cultured; and the cells in group O were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 3 hours followed by restoration of oxygen-glucose supply 24 hours to establish the model of oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration injury; and the N2a cells in group E were co-cultured with M1-exo 24 hours after oxygen-glucose deprivation 3 hours; NC group, M group and I group constructed negative control, overexpression and knockdown of microRNA-20a-5p (miR-20a-5p) M1-exo, respectively. The succession of transfection was detected by qPCR and N2a cells in group NC, group M and group I were co-cultured with such transfected M1-exo for 24 hours after oxygen-glucose deprivation 3 hours. Cell viability were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of miR-20a-5p were detected by qPCR. Results:Compared with M0 microglia, the fluorescence intensity and mRNA and protein expressions of CD32 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), specific markers of M1 microglia, were increased [CD32 (fluorescence intensity): 36.919±1.541 vs. 3.533±0.351, CD32 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 4.887±0.031 vs. 1.003±0.012, CD32/β-actin: 2.663±0.219 vs. 1.000±0.028; iNOS (fluorescence intensity): 29.513±1.197 vs. 7.933±0.378, iNOS mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 4.829±0.177 vs. 1.000±0.016, iNOS/β-actin: 1.991±0.035 vs. 1.000±0.045; all P < 0.01], indicating M1 microglia were successfully activated. Under electron microscopy, M1-exo had round or oval vesicular bodies with obvious membranous structures, with diameters ranging from 100 nm. Western blotting showed that the exosomes expressed specific CD63 and CD9 proteins.

Conclusion:M1 microglia-derived exosomes aggravate the injury of neurons after oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation, which may be related to miR-20a-5p carried by M1-exo.

A follow up study on the correlation between sleep duration and body mass index in primary and middle school students in Zhejiang Province from 2017 to 2019 / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To understand sleep behavior among primary and middle school students and its impact on overweight and obesity changes, to provide evidence for developing obesity prevention and controlling strategies in children and adolescents.@*Methods@#Primary and middle school students from three cities in Zhejiang Province who participated in questionnaire surveys and physical measurements in both 2017 and 2019 were selected. A follow up dataset of 605 students was developed and the relationship between sleep duration and body mass index was analyzed.@*Results@#From 2017 to 2019, BMI Z scores for male and female participants increased by 0.24 and 0.13, respectively. BMI Z scores increased by 0.29 in students of 9-12 years old and increased by 0.11 and 0.25 in urban and rural students, respectively ( P <0.05). The prevalence of insufficient sleep duration increased from 37.0 % to 41.8% simultaneously ( χ 2=3.68, P =0.06). After adjusting for confounding factors, the BMI Z score of students with insufficient sleep was 0.20 higher than those with sufficient sleep duration ( P <0.01). Compared with participants who had sufficient sleep duration from 2017 to 2019, participants whose sleep duration changed from sufficient to insufficient, and those who always had insufficient sleep duration increased by 0.23, respectively ( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Insufficient sleep duration is a risk factor for obesity. Shortened sleep duration is related to weight gain, and maintaining sufficient sleep duration may reduce the risk of obesity in children and adolescents.

Role of exosomes in neuronal injury induced by M1 microglia / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the role of exosomes in neuronal injury induced by M1 microglia.Methods:Liposolysaccharide 100 ng/ml and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)20 ng/ml were added to well-growing BV2 microglia to induce the polarization of microglia into M1 phenotype.Cell supernatant of M1 microglia was collected and M1 microglia exosomes (M1-exo) were extracted with exosome kit.The well-growing N2a cells were divided into 4 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), M1 microglia group (group M), exosome group (group E), and exosome inhibitor+ M1 microglia group (group G+ M). The cells in group C were conventionally cultured, the cells in group M were cultured with the supernatant of M1 microglia for 24 h, and the cells in group E were cultured with M1 microglia-derived exosomes for 24 h. In G+ M group, exosome inhibitor GW4869 was added, M1 microglia were incubated for 24 h, then the supernatant was collected and added to N2a cells, and the cells were incubated for 24 h. Cell viability of N2a cells was measured by the cell counting kit 8 assay, cell apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry.The expression of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time-polymerase chain reaction, and the expression of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax protein was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased, the apoptosis rate was increased, the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA was down-regulated, and the expression of Bax protein and mRNA was up-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group M, the cell viability was significantly increased, the apoptosis rate was decreased, the expression of Bcl-2 protein and mRNA was up-regulated, and the expression of Bax protein and mRNA was down-regulated in group G+ M ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indexes between group E and group M ( P>0.05). Conclusions:M1 microglia can mediate neuronal injury via exosomes.
