ABSTRACT
Insomnia is the second most common psychiatric disorder in clinical practice, and more than one-third of adults may experience different forms of insomnia during their lifetime, but the root causes behind insomnia need further clarification. Early evidences from twins and family studies had shown that insomnia can be attributed to genetics. In recent years, with the rapid development of gene sequencing technology, Nature Genetics had published several consecutive articles focusing on insomnia and genes, confirming that genetic factors played an important role in the occurrence and development of insomnia. Therefore, the recent research progresses on insomnia and circadian rhythm, cytokines, neurotransmitters, and other related genes were summarized in this review, which could help to understand the pathogenesis of insomnia and develop precise treatment strategies.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To investigate the effects of Biyuanshu （BYS）oral solution on IFN-γ of chronic rhinosinusitis （CRS）model mice ，and to investigate its potential mechanism on the basis of B 7-H1/PD-1 immune checkpoint. METHODS ：Male C57 mice were randomly divided into normal group ，sham operation group ，chemical medicine control group （clarithromycin，103 mg/kg），BYS low-dose ，medium-dose and high-dose groups （BYS oral solution ，3.1，6.2，12.4 mL/kg），with 20 mice in each group. Except for normal group without any treatment ，other mice were all open maxillary sinus ，sham operation group was not filled with sponge with bacteria ，while model group and administration groups were filled with sponge with bacteria to induce CRS model. Since 8th week after modeling ，normal group ，sham operation group and model group were given normal saline 0.2 mL intragastrically，administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 14 d. The nasal symptoms and general condition of mice were observed ，and the pathological changes of mice ’s nasal sinus mucosa were observed by HE staining ；qRT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression of IFN-γ，B7-H1 and PD- 1 in nasal sinus mucosa of mice. RESULTS：The normal group and sham operation group had no abnormal in nose ，and the epithelium and cilia of the nasal sinus mucosa were intact ；there was no significant difference f8y3j0127@163.com in the relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ，B7-H1 and PD- 1 between 2 groups（P＞0.05）. In model group ，the mice were found to have runny n ose，frequent scratching and sneezing ，a small amount of yellow secretion in the nasal cavity ，and serious depilation ；the nasal sinus mucosa was seriously damaged ，cilia was exfoliated ，and the gland in the submucosa was hyperplasia ，lymphocyte infiltration was also found ；the relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ，B7-H1 and PD- 1 were significantly increased compared with normal group （P＜0.01）. Compared with model group，the nasal symptoms ，general condition and pathological changes of the nasal sinuses in each administration group were improved in varying degrees ；the relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ and B7-H1 in chemical medicine control group ，BYS medium-dose and high-dose groups ，as well as the relative mRNA expression of PD- 1 in administration groups were decreased significantly；above indexes of BYS medium-dose and high-dose groups were significantly lower than BYS low-dose group ，while relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ in BYS high-dose group were significantly higher than BYS medium-dose group. The relative mRNA expression of IFN-γ in BYS low-dose and medium-dose groups，the relative mRNA expression of B 7-H1 in BYS low-dose group，the relative mRNA expression of PD- 1 in BYS groups were significantly higher than chemical medicine control group ； mRNA expression of IFN-γ in BYS high-dose group was significantly higher than chemical medicine control group（P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01）. Above indexes of BYS medium-dose group were similar to those of chemical medicine control group （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS：BYS oral solution can improve chronic inflammation in nasal sinus mucosa of mice ，the mechanism of which may be associated with intervening mRNA overexpression of B 7-H1/PD-1 by inhibiting mRNA expression of IFN-γ.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To study the effect of electroacupuncture and psychological rehabilitation on internet addiction disorder (IAD).Methods 111 IAD patients were divided into electroacupuncture group, psychology group and comprehension group (both electroacupuncture and psychological rehabilitation). They were measured with frequency and entropy of alpha competitive structure before and after treatment. Results The frequency increased and the entropy decreased in the comprehension group after treatment (P<0.05), and was significantly different from the other groups (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the other 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The combination of electroacupuncture and psychological rehabilitation may be effective on IAD.
ABSTRACT
The research of central mechanism of internet addiction disorder ( IAD) has become a trend gradually .Mostly the researches are available on the executive function of IAD based on experimental paradigms .This paper is a brief review of the main ex-perimental paradigms of executive function on the research of IAD .
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to investigate the influence of Bi-Y uan-Shu (BYS) Oral Liquid on glucocorticoid re-ceptor (GR) and nuclear factor IκBα expression of nasal sinuses mucosa epithelium among chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) models in order to explore its therapeutic mechanism for CRS from the anti-inflammatory reaction aspect. One hundred New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into the normal group, sham operation group, model group, BYS group, and clarithromycin group, with 20 rabbits in each group. After the CRS model was established, no intervention was given to the normal group, sham operation group, or model group. The intragastric administrations of BYS (1.5 mL·kg-1·d-1) and clarithromycin (25 mg·kg-1·d-1) were given for 14 days, respectively. The nasal sinuses mucosa was taken after the treatment. And HE stain was used to observe its pathological changes. Western Blotting was used in the detection of nasal sinuses mucosal epithelium cytoplasm GR and IκBα expression. The results showed that there were obvious nasal sinuses mucosa inflammatory cell infiltration, chronic inflammation changes, and obvious hyperplasia of glandular organs and goblet cells. Compared with the normal group, the GR expression was obviously reduced (P< 0.01). And the IκBα expression was obviously increased (P< 0.01). After the intragastric administration of BYS, the nasal sinuses mucosal epithelium was repaired with no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration, glandular organs, or goblet cells. Compared with the model group, the GR expression was obviously increased (P< 0.01). The IκBα expression was obviously decreased (P<0.01). It was concluded that BYS can promote GR expression to inhibit inflammation. Meanwhile, it can restrain IκBα expression to prevent the over inhabitation of IκBα on NF-κB. It can dynamically regulate the balance of the nasal sinuses mucosa epithelium inflammation.
