ABSTRACT
The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the supercritical CO2 extraction conditions of volatile oil from Wenjing Huoxue cataplasm. Methods On the basis of single factor investigation on the comprehensive score of extraction yield , osthole content and isoimperatorin, the effects of extraction temperature, pressure and time on the comprehensive score of extracted volatile oil were optimized by orthogonal design. Results In the single factor experiment, the factors that had a great influence on the comprehensive score of the extracted volatile oil were extraction temperature, extraction pressure and extraction time. The orthogonal experiment results showed that the extraction temperature and extraction pressure had a significant influence on the comprehensive score of volatile oil. The optimized extraction process was as follows: extraction temperature at 55 ℃, extraction pressure as 30 MPa, and extraction time as 2 h. Conclusion The extraction process optimized in this experiment is stable and feasible, which could be used for the extraction and preparation of the volatile oil.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical value of Omniview combined with volume contrast imaging (VCI) in measuring the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle.Methods:Fifty fetuses whose lateral ventricles were widened, corpus callosum was poorly developed, and who had hydrocephalus as indicated by routine ultrasonography performed between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019 in Hangzhou Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital were included in this study. The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle was measured using routine ultrasonography, Omniview-VCI technique, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in each fetus and compared among the three techniques.Results:The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI and MRI techniques was (1.17 ± 0.15) cm and (1.20 ± 0.12) cm, respectively, which was significantly greater than that measured by routine ultrasonography [(1.11 ± 0.13) cm, t = 2.137, 3.597, both P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI technique versus MRI technique ( t = 1.104, P > 0.05). The mean examination cost and waiting time of Omniview-VCI technique were (222.15 ± 3.20) yuan and (0.24 ± 0.04) days, which were less or shorter than those of MRI technique [(597.23 ± 11.02) yuan, (1.02 ± 0.10) days, t = 213.126, 51.210, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Omniview-VCI technique can replace MRI and accurately measure the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle. It provides a more simple, fast and effective method for evaluating fetal near-field lateral ventricle, and can become a conventional application technique.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effects of silencing zinc finger E-box binding homeoboxl (ZEB1) gene on the expressions of mesenchymal markers and cell migration in the glioma U87 cells, and to clarify the effect of ZEB1 on the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in the glioma cells. Methods: The constructed ZEB1 shRNA interfering plasmid and control plasmid (shCtrl) were transfected into the glioma U87 cells and the interfering effects were detected by Western blotting method. The glioma U87 cells were divided into control group (the glioma U87 cells were transfected with shCtrl), EMT group (EMT was induced by TGF-fil in the glioma U87 cells transfected with shCtrl) and ZEB1 silence group (EMT was induced by TGF-fil in the glioma U87 cells transfected with ZEB1 shRNAs plasmid). The protein expression levels of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Vimentin), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in the glioma U87 cells were measured by Western blotting method. The scratch-healing assay was performed to examine the migration ability of glioma cells. Results: The Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of ZEB1 in the glioma U87 cells transfected with shZEBl # 1 and shZEBl # 2 were significantly lower than that in the cells transfected with shCtrl (P<0. 05 or P< 0. 01), and the inhibitory effect of shZEBl #2 on the ZEB1 expression was more obvious, indicating that ZEB1 was stably transfected into the U87 cells. Compared with control group, the expression levels of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin, Vimentin, and MMP-9 in EMT group were significantly increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Compared with EMT group, the expression levels of the above proteins in ZEB1 silencing group were markedly reduced (P< 0. 05 or P<0. 01). The cell migration rate in EMT group was obviously elevated compared with control group (P< 0. 01), and the cell migration rate of the glioma U87 cells in ZEB1 silence group was significantly lower than that in EMT group (P<0. 01). Conclusion: Silencing ZEB1 gene expression can inhibit the EMT in the glioma U87 cells and reduce the cell migration abilities, suggesting ZEB1 as an important therapeutic target of invasive glioma.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the stem cell-like properties of glioma U87 cells undergoing epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and to clarify the inhibitory effect of resveratrol (Res) on their stem cell-like properties. Methods; The glioma U87 cells were treated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) to induce EMT, and the morphology of U87 cells was observed under inverted microscope. Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, Vimentin) and EMT-inducing transcription factors (Snail, Slug, Zebl, Twistl). After the EMT of glioma cells was confirmed, the experiment was divided into control group (U87 cells didn't receive any treatment), EMT group (the glioma cells presented EMT induced by TGF-β1) and Res treatment group (the glioma cells with EMT were treated with Res). The number of secondgeneration gliospheres and the expression levels of stem cell markers (Bmil and Sox2) in glioma U87 cells in various groups were detected. Results: The glioma U87 cells treated with TGF-β1 for 48 h showed dispersed, elongated, and similar to the appearance of fibroblasts. The expression levels of N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail, Slug, Zebl and Twistl in glioma cells in different concentrations of TGF-β1 groups were significantly increased, suggesting the presence of EMT in glioma U87 cells. Compared with control group, the number of second-generation gliospheres in the U87 cells in EMT group was increased (P<0. 01), and the expression levels of stem cell markers (Bmil and Sox2) in the glioma U87 cells in EMT group were markedly increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Compared with EMT group, the number of second-generation gliospheres in the glioma U87 cells in Res treatment group was significantly decreased (P<0. 01), and the expression levels of Bmil and Sox2 in the glioma U87 cells in Res treatment group were decreased (P < 0. 01). Conclusion: The glioma U87 cells undergoing EMT exhibit the stem cell-like properties, and Res can inhibit their stem-like properties.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the regulatory effects of resveratrol (Res) on the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration and invasion abilities of the glioma U87 cells, and to clarify the inhibitory effect of Res on EMT of the cells. Methods: The glioma U87 cells were divided into control group (no treatment), EMT group (EMT was induced with TGF-β1) and Res treatment group (EMT was treated with Res). The expression levels of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin), EMT-inducing transcription factors (Snail, Slug, Twistl), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in the glioma U87 cells were measured by Western blotting method. Scratch-healing assay and Trans well assay were performed to examine the cell migration and invasion abilities. Results: Compared with control group, the protein expression levels of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin, β-catenin, Vimentin), EMT-inducing transcription factors (Snail, Slug, Twistl), and MMP-2 and MMP-9 in EMT group were significantly increased (P<0. 05). Compared with EMT group, the expression levels of above proteins in Res treatment group were markedly down-regulated (P<0. 05 or P <0.01); the effect in 40 μmol · L1 Res treatment group was more obvious than that in 20 μmol · L-1 Res treatment group. The migration and invasion rates of the U87 cells in EMT group were obviously elevated compared with control group (P<0. 01), and the migration and invasion rates of the glioma U87 cells in Res treatment group were significantly lower than those in EMT group (P<0. 01). Conclusion: Res can inhibit EMT of the glioma U87 cells and reduce the migration and invasion abilities of the cells.
ABSTRACT
To clarify the dynamic changes of flavour components in mushrooms packed with different packaging materials during storage, comprehensive flavour characterization, non-volatile and volatile compounds of Flammulina velutipes were evaluated using electronic nose (E-nose), electronic tongue (E-tongue) technology and headspace solid phase micro-extraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), respectively. Results showed that volatile compounds of fresh F. velutipes mainly consisted of ketones and alcohols, with 3-octanone being the predominant compound. After storage, volatile components significantly changed in mushrooms packed with normal packaging material (Normal-PM) according to the GC-MS analysis and radar fingerprint chart of electronic nose. The ethanol accumulation was inhibited by nanocomposite packaging materials (Nano-PM). Besides, both radar graph and PCA of E-tongue signals could differentiate the samples from different packaging and storage time. In general, these results may provide a profile of flavour substances and explain mechanism of flavour changes in F. velutipes over storage period.
