@#【Objective】 As the main active ingredient of Tibetan medicine Hongjingtian (Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizoma), salidroside (Sal) has a good anti-apoptotic potential. Currently, there are some conflicting results on the anti-apoptotic mechanisms of Sal. Here we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to provide the preclinical evidence of its anti-apoptotic properties in preventing and treating hypoxic-ischemic cerebral damage(HICD). 【Methods】 The literature on the anti-apoptotic potential of Sal in the treatment of HICD from January 1, 1980 to November 9, 2021 was searched online using Chinese databases including Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP), and Wanfang Database, and English databases including PubMed and Web of Science. The quality of the included articles was evaluated by the Cochrane Collaboration network bias risk assessment criteria, and meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. 【Results】 A total of 40 articles were finally included. Among the 40 articles, 30 were about in vivo animal experiments and 17 about in vitro cell experiments, and 7 of them included both animal and cell experiments. After analysis, it was found that Sal had significant effects on disease-related indicators of HICD (P < 0.05), such as cerebral infarctsize and brain water content. As to in vivo studies, Sal mainly affects the expressions of apoptotic factors through antiinflammation, anti-oxidation, activation of complement pathway, and regulation of signal transduction and autophagy, thus exerting anti-apoptotic potential in treating HICD. While for in vitro studies, Sal plays the anti-apoptotic role in HICD models mainly through anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, reduction of Ca2+ overload, regulation of mitochondrial function, signal transduction, and C3 complement. 【Conclusion】 Sal can take anti-apoptotic effects to prevent and treat HICD through mechanisms such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, enhanced autophagy, complement and signal transduction, regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and reduction of Ca2 + overload.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of human adenovirus (HADV) 2, 3 and 7 in hospitalized children with respiratory infection. Methods: A total of 25 686 children with respiratory infection hospitalized at Children's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively included.Deep sputum or nasopharyngeal aspirates of those children were collected. Then thirteen common respiratory pathogens were detected by multiplex PCR. 510 HADV positive specimens were randomly selected via random number and classified for type 2, 3 and 7 using a multiplex real-time quantitative PCR. SPSS 21.0 software was used to perform all of the statistical analyses. Enumeration data were expressed by frequency and percentage. χ2 test was used for comparison between groups. Results: The HADV-positive rate was 7.99% (2 052/25 686). Children at age 3-<6 years had the highest HADV-positive rate (11.44%). The HADV-positive rate in 2019 was highest (10.64%). Among the 510 HADV-positive specimens, the proportion of type 3 was the highest (31.16%), followed by type 7 (21.37%) and type 2 (11.18%). The rate of type 2 in 2019 was significantly lower than that in 2018 and 2020 (χ2=8.954 and 16.354; P=0.003 and <0.01), while the rate of type 3 was significantly higher than that in 2018 and 2020 (χ2=5.248 and 4.811; P=0.022 and 0.028). The rate of type 2, type 3 and type 7 were lowest in winter, spring and autumn, respectively. The rate of type 2 increased significantly in autumn and the rate of type 3 and type 7 increased significantly in winter.The co-detection rate of HADV with other respiratory pathogens was 43.33%(221/510). Among, the co-detection rate of type 3 was highest (47.32%), and the co-detection rate of type 2, 3 and 7 was significantly higher than the alone detection rate (χ2=20.438, P<0.01; χ2=42.105, P<0.01; χ2=27.573, P<0.01).The proportion of severe pneumonia in children with type 7 positive (15.89%) was higher than that in children with non-type 7 positive (8.23%) (χ2=5.260, P=0.022). Conclusion: HADV is one of the important pathogens of children with respiratory infection in Children's Hospital of Hebei Province. The susceptible population of HADV is preschool children aged 3 to 6 years. HADV often co-detects with other respiratory pathogens. Type 3 and 7 is likely to be the dominant genotypes in this region, and type 7 may be one of the risk factors of severe pneumonia in children.

Radiation-induced intestinal injury(RIII), a common complication of radiotherapy for pelvic malignancies, affects the quality of life and the radiotherapy efficacy for cancer. Currently, the main clinical approaches for the prevention and treatment of RIII include drug therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and surgical treatment. Among these methods, drug therapy is cost-effective. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) containing a variety of active components demonstrates mild side effects and good efficacy in preventing and treating RIII. Studies have proven that TCM active components, such as flavonoids, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, and alkaloids, can protect the intestine against RIII by inhibiting oxidative stress, regulating the expression of inflammatory cytokines, modulating the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, adjusting intestinal flora, and suppressing cell apoptosis. These mechanisms can help alleviate the symptoms of RIII. The paper aims to provide a theoretical reference for the discovery of new drugs for the prevention and treatment of RIII by reviewing the literature on TCM active components in the last 10 years.

@#Abstract: Objective To analyze the laboratory indexes of patients infected with malaria patients and COVID-19, so as to provide reliable evidence for the diagnosis of mixed infection of both. Methods The routine clinical laboratory items such as routine blood, biochemistry and lymphocyte subsets were tested in three cases of COVID-19 complicated with falciparum malaria who admitted to Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from July to December 2020 were tested. Laboratory data were stage-wise analyzed in conjunction with changes in the course of disease. Results Three patients confirmed COVID-19 infection recruited all had malaria infection history. Fever, headache, and other symptoms emerged on the 4rd to 11th day after admission. Malaria parasite was detected by malaria parasite antigen testing and blood smear testing, and all three patients had re-ignition of malaria after being confirmed COVID-19 infection. In the early stage of malaria relapse, lymphocytes decreased, CRP and SAA increased, and gradually returned to normal level after antimalarial treatment. Interestingly, we only found one patient at the initial stage of malaria detection showed PLT decreased, no other unnormal changes in other routine blood results (WBC, ESO) and liver function results (ALT, AST, GGT, TBIL, DBIL, CG) were found from the beginning to end course of the disease. Conclusion COVID-19 infection may promote the resurgence of malaria, so the relapse of malaria should be monitored especially for the patient with malaria infection history who begin to develop fever and other symptoms a few days after the diagnosis of COVID-19. The inflammatory indicators would be worth able as an auxiliary judgment basis for the effective treatment of the two combined infection.

Objective:To investigate the effect of galactose lectin 3 (Gal-3) on the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation.Methods:This study adopts a case-control study method. 55 patients with non valvular atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation group) admitted to the First People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February to July 2019 were selected, and another 55 healthy individuals who underwent physical examination at our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. Compare the general data and levels of various laboratory indicators between two groups, including blood routine, fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, liver and kidney function, and plasma Gal-3. Analyze the influencing factors of atrial fibrillation and the predictive value of plasma Gal-3 levels for the onset of atrial fibrillation. The measurement data with normal distribution and the measurement data converted to normal distribution after taking natural logarithm are expressed in xˉ± s. The comparison between the two groups is performed by independent sample t test; The measurement data of non normal distribution is represented by [ M ( Q1, Q3)], and Wilcoxon signed rank sum test is used for inter group comparison; The counting data is represented by examples (%), and the comparison between groups is conducted using χ 2 test. The influencing factors of atrial fibrillation were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results:The age, NLR, and blood creatinine levels in the atrial fibrillation group were higher than those in the control group [(71.16±9.17) years vs (60.71±10.11) years, (2.32±0.85) vs (1.74±0.81), (74.18±21.61) μmol/L vs (64.69±18.30) μmol/L, t-values are 5.68, 3.66, 2.48, P-values are <0.001, <0.001, 0.015], total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C Albumin and eGFR water were on average lower than those in the control group [(4.31±1.67) mmol/L vs (5.13±0.78) mmol/L, (0.96±0.21) mmol/L vs (1.21±0.32) mmol/L, (2.35±0.65) mmol/L vs (3.04±0.62) mmol/L, (39.58±3.83) g/L vs (44.66±5.61) g/L, (94.84±29.22) mL/(min·1.73 m 2) vs (111.77±21.51) mL/(min·1.73 m 2)] ,The t-values are 3.30, 4.87, 5.69, 5.54, 3.46, and the P-values are 0.001,<0.001,<0.001,<0.001, 0.001, respectively. The plasma Gal-3 levels in the atrial fibrillation group were higher than those in the control group [(12.79±4.24)] μg/L vs (7.31±2.28) μg/L], the difference was statistically significant ( t=8.43, P<0.001), and the plasma Gal-3 level in the persistent atrial fibrillation group was higher than that in the paroxysmal atrial fibrillation group [(14.03±3.95) μg/L vs (11.51±4.21) μg/L], the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.29, P=0.026). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after excluding other factors, Gal-3 remained an independent influencing factor for atrial fibrillation (odds ratio=1.66, 95% confidence interval: 1.29-2.12, P<0.001). Conclusions:Plasma Gal-3 is an influencing factor for the onset of atrial fibrillation. After excluding other factors, Gal-3 remains an independent influencing factor for atrial fibrillation, with an increase of 1 μg/L in Gal-3 increases the risk of atrial fibrillation by 1.66 times.

Aim To study the protective effect of catechin on acute altitude injury in rats. Methods Rats were randomly divided into six groups: control group, altitude hypoxia model group, rhodiola capsule group, low -, middle-and high dose of catechin groups. After three days of preventive administration, animals were rushed to 4 010 m altitude. After five days of continuous administration, abdominal aortic blood of rats was collected for blood gas detection. Cardiac, brain and lung tissues were collected for HE staining to observe the pathological changes. MDA content, GSH content, NO content, SOD activity of myocardial, brain and lung tissues were detected, so were IL-6 and TNF-α content in serum. Results Compared with the control group, blood oxygen saturation of rats of altitud hypoxia model group was significantly reduced, while myocardial, brain and lung tissues were damaged to different degrees. MDA and NO content increased, while GSH content and SOD activity decreased. The serum inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 levels were elevated significantly. After catechin treatment, blood oxygen saturation of hypoxia rats significantly increased (P < 0. 05). HE staining results showed that myocardial, brain and lung tissue injury was alleviated to some extent. MDA, NO, IL-6 and TNF-α content were down-regulated, while GSH content and SOD activity were up-regulated respectively. Conclusions Catechin can resist high altitude hypoxia and protect the main organs from hypoxia injury in rats acute exposed to altitude, which is related to alleviating oxidative stress and inflammation caused by acute hypoxia exposure.

Objective@#To investigate the trend in incidence of hepatitis C in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province from 2008 to 2022, and to examine the age-period-cohort effect, so as to provide the basis for the formulation of hepatitis C prevention strategies. @*Methods@#Demographic data and incidence data of hepatitis C in Jingzhou City from 2008 to 2022 were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and the trend in incidence of hepatitis C was analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC) and annual percent change (APC). The effects of age, period and cohort on the incidence of hepatitis C were examined with an age-period-cohort model. @*Results@#The average annual incidence of hepatitis C in Jingzhou City from 2008 and 2022 was 20.26/105, with a male incidence of 20.04/105 and a female incidence of 20.47/105. The incidence of hepatitis C initially rose and then fell (AAPC=5.375%, P<0.05), with a rising trend from 2008 to 2018 (APC=13.370%, P<0.05) and a decreasing trend from 2018 to 2022 (APC=-12.231%, P<0.05). The incidence of hepatitis C appeared a tendency towards a rise with age, and the 80-84 age group had the highest risk (RR=11.420, 95%CI: 7.631-17.090) in relative to the 45-49 age group. The incidence of hepatitis C appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a decline with time, and an increased risk of hepatitis C was seen from 2013 to 2017 (RR=1.393, 95%CI: 1.272-1.525) and a decreased risk was seen from 2018 to 2022 (RR=1.237, 95%CI: 1.072-1.428) in relative to the period from 2008 to 2012. The incidence of hepatitis C appeared a tendency towards a rise followed by a decline with the cohort, and a higher risk was found in the 1965-1984 cohort (all RR>1.300) in relative to the 1960-1964 cohort. The incidence of hepatitis C, the age and period effects in men and women, and the cohort effects in men were consistent with the whole population. In addition to the 1965-1984 cohort, a higher risk was found in the 2000-2014 cohort in women (all RR>1.250).@*Conclusions@#From 2008 to 2022, the incidence of hepatitis C in Jingzhou City experienced a notable rise and subsequent decline. The incidence of hepatitis C increased with age, with higher risks seen among middle-aged and elderly people.

Abstract Objectives: Isoflurane (ISO) is widely used in the clinic and research. The authors aimed to explore whether Neobaicalein (Neob) could protect neonatal mice from ISO-induced cognitive damage. Method: The open field test, Morris water maze test, and tail suspension test was performed to assess the cognitive function in mice. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to evaluate inflammatory-related protein concentrations. Immunohistochemistry was used to assess Ionized calcium-Binding Adapter molecule-1 (IBA-1) expression. Hippocampal neuron viability was detected using the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Double immunofluorescence staining was employed to confirm the interaction between proteins. Western blotting was used to assess protein expression levels. Results: Neob notably improved cognitive function and exhibited anti-inflammatory effects; moreover, under isotreatment, it exhibited neuroprotective effects. Furthermore, Neob suppressed interleukin-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 levels and upregulated interleukin-10 levels in ISO-treated mice. Neob significantly mitigated iso-induced increases in IBA-1 - positive cell numbers of the hippocampus in neonatal mice. Furthermore, it inhibited ISO-induced neuronal apoptosis. Mechanistically, Neob was observed to upregulate cAMP Response Element Binding protein (CREB1) phosphorylation and protected hippocampal neurons from ISO-mediated apoptosis. Moreover, it rescued ISO-induced abnormalities of synaptic protein. Conclusions: Neob prevented ISO anesthesia-induced cognitive impairment by suppressing apoptosis and inflammation through upregulating CREB1.

Abstract Objectives: To investigate the clinical value of using Head-Shaking Test (HST) + Head-Shaking Tilt Suppression Test (HSTST) to distinguish between peripheral and central vertigo as well as to analyze the consistency of findings between tests at the bedside vs. in the examination room. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who presented for central or peripheral vertigo from July 2019 to July 2021. The results were compared between HST and HST+HSTST. The concordance between bedside and examination room outcomes was analyzed. Results: Forty-seven (58.8%) patients in the peripheral vertigo group and 33 (41.2%) patients in the central vertigo group were included. In the peripheral group, 44 (both examination room and bedside: 93.6%) patients had horizontal Head-Shaking Nystagmus (hHSN), most of which were suppressed in HSTST. However, in the central group, most cases had perverted HSN (pHSN; examination room: 72.7%; bedside: 66.7%), which was seldomly suppressed in HSTST. The HST+HSTST showed a >20% higher specificity in identifying peripheral vertigo than HST alone. The bedside results were consistent with the examination room results using the kappa test (p< 0.001). Conclusions: Suppressed hHSN was a strong indicator of peripheral vertigo. Conversely, pHSN was more often seen in central vertigo, which was not readily suppressed in HSTST. The bedside results of HST+ HSTST yielded qualitative agreement with the tests in the examination room. HST+ HSTST could be used as reliable methods in the clinic to distinguish between peripheral and central vestibular disorders. Level of evidence: Level 3.

Objective:To observe the effects of Chaihu Shugansan on gastric motility and mitochondrial function and mitophagy in rats with functional dyspepsia (FD) and to preliminarily reveal its mechanism in preventing and treating FD. Method:Thirty-two SD rats of SPF grade were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, Chaihu Shugansan (4.8 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) group, and domperidone group (4.5 mg·kg<sup>-1</sup>) after one week of adaptive feeding, with eight rats in each group. Rats in all groups except for the normal group were exposed to modified tail-clamping stimulation for inducing FD. Four weeks later, the semi-solid nutritive medium was used to observe the gastric emptying rate of FD rats, and the serum citrate synthase (CS), motilin (MTL), and gastrin (GAS) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pathological changes in gastric tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the mitochondrial characteristics by transmission electron microscopy, and the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) and voltage-dependent anion-selective channel 1 (VDAC1) by immunofluorescence co-localization. The mitochondria were extracted from fresh gastric tissue for measuring the reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels using the biochemical kits. The mitochondrial LC3, yeast Atg6 homologous(Beclin1), and p62 protein expression was assayed by Western blot. Result:Compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited significantly reduced gastric emptying rate (<italic>P</italic><0.01) and serum CS, MTL, and GAS levels (<italic>P</italic><0.01). HE staining showed no pathological changes like erosion or ulcer in the gastric tissue of rats in each group. However, the mitochondria in the gastric tissue were observed swollen and dilated under the transmission electron microscope, and vacuolar lesions appeared. The co-expression of LC3 with VDAC1 increased significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The mitochondrial ROS and MDA levels were elevated significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.01), while SOD content was significantly reduced (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The protein expression levels of LC3 and Beclin1 were significantly up-regulated (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), whereas p62 protein expression was down-regulated significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Compared with the model group, Chaihu Shugansan and domperidone elevated the gastric emptying rate (<italic>P</italic><0.05) and serum CS, MTL, and GAS levels (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01). It was observed under the transmission electron microscope that the mitochondrial nuclear membrane of the gastric tissue was intact, with clear structure and high density of mitochondrial cristae, and mitochondrial fission and fusion were observed in some parts. The co-localization area of LC3 and VDAC1 was significantly reduced (<italic>P</italic><0.01). The mitochondrial ROS and MDA levels declined significantly (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), whereas SOD level rose (<italic>P</italic><0.05). The protein expression levels of LC3 and Beclin1 were significantly down-regulated (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), while that of p62 was obviously up-regulated (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Conclusion:The mechanism of Chaihu Shugansan in preventing and treating FD may be related to the improvement of mitochondrial function and the inhibition of mitophagy in gastric tissue.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Elian granule on autophagy and the phosphatidylinositol -3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB/Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in gastric tissue of rats with gastric cancer. Method:SPF SD rats were randomly divided into the normal, model, Elian granule, and Weifuchun groups. In addition to the routine feeding in the normal group, the model, Elian granule, and Weifuchun groups received <italic>N</italic>-methyl-<italic>N</italic>'-nitro-<italic>N</italic>-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) to induce gastric cancer in rats, and they were respectively given normal saline, Elian granule aqueous solution (3.240 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) and Weifuchun aqueous solution (0.390 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) by gavage (<italic>ig</italic>) for 48 weeks. The gross changes of the stomach taken by laparotomy were observed by naked eyes. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the histopathological changes of the gastric tissue in rats. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot (WB) were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (LC3B), Beclin1, p62, PI3K, Akt, mTOR in rat gastric tissue. Result:Compared with the normal group, the model group showed gastric distension, thinner gastric wall, pale gastric mucosa, atrophied and flat folds, disordered course, and visible nodules and vegetations. Compared with the model group, the Elian granule group demonstrated alleviated gastric distension, dark gastric mucosa, reduced folds, and regular course, with the thinned gastric wall improved and granular nodules observed occasionally. According to HE staining, compared with the normal group, the model group showed crowded and disordered rat gastric glands, diverse in shape, varied cell morphology, basophilic cytoplasm, large irregular hyperchromatic nuclei, visible mitosis, and infiltrated and destroyed muscularis mucosae. While compared with the model group, the arrangement of gastric glands was regular, and a few mildly atypical cells could be observed in rats of the Elian granule group. Compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited decreased expression of LC3B and Beclin1 mRNA and protein in gastric tissue (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and increased expression of PI3K, p62, Akt, and mTOR mRNA and protein (<italic>P</italic><0.05). Compared with the model group, the Elian granule group showed increased expression of LC3B and Beclin1 mRNA and protein in gastric tissue (<italic>P<</italic>0.05), and decreased expression of PI3K mRNA and p62, Akt, and mTOR mRNA and protein (<italic>P</italic><0.05). Conclusion:Elian granule can improve the cell atypia of gastric tissue in rats with gastric cancer, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway to promote autophagy.

Objective:To observe the effects of Huazhuo Jiedu Shugan Prescription (HZJDSG) on learning, memory, and the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase-3<italic>β</italic> (GSK-3<italic>β</italic>) pathway-related proteins in epileptic rats, and to explore its possible mechanism. Method:Forty-eight SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a sodium valproate (0.19 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) group, and low- (2.7 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>), medium- (5.4 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>), and high-dose (10.8 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) HZJDSG groups, with eight rats in each group. The normal group received 0.9% sodium chloride solution (0.035 g·kg<sup>-1</sup>) by intraperitoneal injection, and the other five groups received pentetrazol (PTZ) at the same dose to induce a chronic epilepsy model for a total of 14 times. The drug groups received corresponding drugs and the normal group and the model group received 0.9% sodium chloride solution at the same volume once a day for 28 days. During the drug intervention period, epilepsy was maintained in each modeling group by intraperitoneal injection of PTZ on day 7, 14, 21, and 28. The behavioral changes of rats were observed by Morris water maze and the pathomorphological changes of rat hippocampal neurons by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The protein expression of phosphorylation Akt(p-Akt)and p-GSK-3<italic>β</italic> was detected by immunohistochemistry and the protein expression of PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, GSK-3<italic>β</italic>, and p-GSK-3<italic>β</italic> by Western blot. Result:Compared with the normal group, the model group showed prolonged platform finding time (<italic>P</italic><0.01), reduced number of platform crossings (<italic>P</italic><0.01), structural damage of neurons in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, down-regulated protein expression of p-Akt and p-GSK-3<italic>β </italic>in the CA1 region of the hippocampus (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and reduced relative expression of PI3K, p-Akt, and p-GSK-3<italic>β</italic> in the hippocampus (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Compared with the model group, the sodium valproate group and the HZJDSG groups showed shortened platform finding time (<italic>P</italic><0.01) and improved neuronal structure in the CA1 region of the hippocampus, while the sodium valproate group and the high- and medium-dose HZJDSG groups exhibited increased number of platform crossings (<italic>P</italic><0.01), up-regulated protein expression of p-Akt and p-GSK-3<italic>β</italic> in the CA1 region of the hippocampus (<italic>P</italic><0.05), and elevated relative expression of PI3K, p-Akt, and p-GSK-3<italic>β</italic> (<italic>P</italic><0.01). Conclusion:HZJDSG can improve the learning and memory of epileptic rats, and its antiepileptic effect may be achieved by the activation of PI3K/Akt/GSK-3<italic>β</italic> pathway-related proteins.

Objective:To explore whether hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods:Patients with atrial fibrillation who were confirmed by 12-lead electrocardiogram in 11 hospitals of Kailuan Group from 2006 to 2007 were selected as the research objects.All patients were followed up by prospective cohort study, and all-cause deaths were observed.The last follow-up time was December 31, 2013.Kaplan-Meier curve and Cox proportional hazards model were used to analyze and compare the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation in the hyperuricemia group compared with the normal uric acid group.Results:A total of 388 community-based patients with atrial fibrillation were included in the final statistical analysis, with 136 all-cause deaths occurred during an average follow-up period of 6.93 years.The incidence of all-cause mortality was 9.24% per year(36/390)in the hyperuricemia group, whereas 5.16% per year(100/1 937) in the normal uric acid group.In the univariate Cox proportional risk model analysis, the risk ratio (95% CI) of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in the hyperuricemia group (95% CI) was 1.84(1.26-2.69) times that in the normal uric acid group ( P<0.01). After adjusting for potential confounding variables, the adjusted risk ratio (95% CI) of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in hyperuricemia group was still 1.94(1.32-2.85) times of that in normal uric acid group ( P<0.01). After adjustment for potential confounding variables, for each 0.01 g/L increase in uric acid (1 g/L=5 950 μmol/L), the risk of all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation increased by 1.15 (1.05-1.26) times ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Hyperuricemia was an independent risk factor for all-cause death in patients with atrial fibrillation in community.
