ABSTRACT

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has proven to be a time-saving and efficient exercise strategy. Compared with traditional aerobic exercise, it can provide similar or even better health benefits. In recent years, a number of studies have suggested that HIIT could be used as a potential exercise rehabilitation therapy to improve cognitive impairment caused by obesity, diabetes, stroke, dementia and other diseases. HIIT may be superior to regular aerobic exercise. This article reviews the recent research progress on HIIT with a focus on its beneficial effect on brain cognitive function and the underlying mechanisms. HIIT may become an effective exercise for the prevention and/or improvement of brain cognitive disorder.

ABSTRACT

Purpose@#Systemic inflammatory response is a critical factor that promotes the initiation and metastasis of malignancies including pancreatic cancer (PC). This study was designed to determine and compare the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) in resectable PC and locally advanced or metastatic PC. @*Materials and Methods@#Three hundred fifty-three patients with resectable PC and 807 patients with locally advan-ced or metastatic PC were recruited in this study. These patients were classified into a training set (n=758) and a validation set (n=402). Kaplan-Meier survival plots and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to analyze prognosis. @*Results@#Overall survival (OS) was significantly better for patients with resectable PC with low preoperative PLR (p=0.048) and MLR (p=0.027). Low FAR, MLR, NLR (p < 0.001), and PLR (p=0.003) were significantly associated with decreased risk of death for locally advanced or metastatic PC patients. FAR (hazard ratio [HR], 1.522; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.261 to 1.837; p < 0.001) and MLR (HR, 1.248; 95% CI, 1.017 to 1.532; p=0.034) were independent prognostic factors for locally advanced or metastatic PC. @*Conclusion@#The prognostic roles of FAR, MLR, NLR, and PLR in resectable PC and locally advanced or metastatic PC were different. FAR showed the most prognostic power in locally advanced or metastatic PC. Low FAR was positively correlated with OS in locally advanced or metastatic PC, which could be used to predict the prognosis.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to observe the expression of pyroptosis- and inflammation-related proteins in the hippocampus of mice with insulin resistance (IR) after aerobic exercise, and to explore the possible mechanism of exercise to improve IR. C57BL/6J male mice of 6 weeks old were randomly fed with normal diet (n = 12) and high-fat diet (HFD) (n = 26) for 12 weeks respectively. Glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were performed to determine whether IR occurred in HFD mice. Then the mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 12), IR group (n = 10) and IR + aerobic exercise group (AE, n = 10). Mice in AE group performed a 12-week progressive speed treadmill training after being adapted to the treadmill for one week. After the intervention, the expression of pyroptosis- and inflammation-related proteins in hippocampus was detected by Western blot. The results showed that compared with control group, NFκB, Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD (ASC), pyroptosis-related proteins like pro-Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), GSDMD-N, and inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-18 were significantly increased. The inflammasome-related protein NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7) and pyroptosis-related protein Caspase-1 showed an increasing trend, but there was no significant difference. Compared with the IR group, progressive speed treadmill training significantly reduced the expression of NFκB, NLRP3, NEK7, ASC, pro-Caspase-1, GSDMD, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, and IL-18 in the hippocampus of mice with IR. These results suggested 12-week progressive speed treadmill training can significantly reduce the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins and inflammatory factors in the hippocampus of mice with IR, and inhibit pyroptosis.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the clinical effect of hydromorphone in the prevention of postoperative hyperpathia in patients receiving remifentanil combined anesthesia.@*Methods@#64 patients who were scheduled to receive abdominal surgery and postoperative analgesia were randomly divided into hydromorphone group(n=32) and control group (n=32) according to random number table.All the cases were given PCIA after surgery, the control group was given fentanyl 12.5μg/kg, and the hydromorphone group was given fentanyl 12.5μg/kg + hydromorphone 10μg/kg.The postoperative analgesic effects at different time, postoperative recovery, usage of PCIA and incidence of adverse effects in two groups were compared.@*Results@#There were no statistically significant differences in respiration recovery time, wake-up time, extubation time between the two groups (t=1.21, 0.83, 0.33, all P>0.05). The levels of MAP, HR after extubation of the hydromorphone group were significantly lower than those of the control group (t=2.84, 2.66, all P<0.05). The VAS scores at 30 min, 1h, 2h, 4h, 12h after operation in the hydromorphone group were significantly lower than those in the control group (t=8.83, 5.25, 8.77, 9.51, 9.69, all P<0.05), while the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups at 24h after operation (t=1.87, P>0.05). The press times and dosage of fentanyl during 1h, 24h after surgery of the hydromorphone group were significantly less than those of the control group(t=16.71, 36.38, 43.05, 10.98, all P<0.05). The adverse reactions between the two groups had no statistically statistical difference (χ2=0.14, P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Postoperative analgesia of remifentanil combined anesthesia with hydromorphone can effectively prevent RIH, reduce other anesthetics dose, and does not increase the risk of complications.

ABSTRACT

Methane (CH) is the simplest hydrocarbons and endogenous CHhas been thought only to be generated by methanogens in the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract of the mammals. However, recent animal studies have shown that endogenous CHcan also be generated from choline and its metabolites in the mammals to protect the plasma membrane from reactive oxygen species attack and repair the membrane. In addition, exogenous CHcan ameliorate the oxidative stress injury of multiple tissues and organs through its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-apoptosis effects. This paper reviews the recent researches about CHsynthetic metabolism and biological functions, and highlights its potential of wide application in the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress related diseases and the significance for the development of gas medicine.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hypoxia conditioned medium (HCM) of cerebral cortex cells on the differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) and to clarify the signal transduction mechanism. The cerebral cortex cells from newborn SD rats were primarily cultured for 5 d, and then the cells were cultured in environments of 4% O2, 1% O2 and normal oxygen concentration, respectively, for 6 h. The culture mediums were collected and centrifuged as the HCM and normoxia conditioned medium (NCM). The neurospheres of NSCs were obtained from the rat cerebral cortex by suspending culture. Immunohistochemical staining was used after adherence culture for 48 h to identify neurons and astrocytes in the progeny of NSCs. LY294002, a PI3-K inhibitor, and SP600125, a JNK inhibitor, were added into the HCM to culture NSCs for 48 h. The results showed that NSCs in the cerebral cortex could differentiate into β-Tubulin III immunoreactive neurons and GFAP immunoreactive astrocytes in three conditioned mediums, and the neurons proportion in progeny of NSCs was higher than astrocytes in all three groups. The proportion of neurons in 4% HCM was higher than that in NCM (P < 0.01). But the proportion of neurons in 1% HCM was less than that in NCM (P < 0.01). Both LY294002 and SP600125 inhibited NSCs to differentiate into high proportion neurons induced by 4% HCM (P < 0.01), but the inhibitory effect of LY294002 was stronger than that of SP600125 (P < 0.01). In conclusion, 4% HCM can induce NSCs to differentiate into more neurons mainly through the PI3-K pathway.

ABSTRACT

A series of sustained-release morphine sulfate suppositories were prepared with two kinds of different bases according the qualified formulations (r2 > 0.9). The best formulation was determined by melting point, drug release in vitro and rectal administration in rabbits. A self-made device was used to evaluate drug release in vitro. The 3p97 program was used to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters of morphine sulfate suppositories. Comparative studies on characteristics in vitro release and in vivo pharmacokinetics of sustained-release morphine sulfate suppositories were carried out. Drug release pattern in vitro was best described by zero-order kinetics and in vivo profile was demonstrated to fit single compartment model. When r2 > 0.95, the plasma concentration in vivo shown a platform. The MRTs of F4 and P4 were 16.72 and 9.19 h, which shown that the poloxamer-based morphine sulfate suppository F4 had better sustained-release performance. The pharmacokinetics pharmerers were: t1/2(ke) =7.225 h, tpeak =5.107 h, ρmax = 1141 ng · mL-1, AUC =22817 ng · h · mL-1. The prepared poloxamer-based suppository of morphine sulfate F4 exhibits sustained-release profile in vivo, which has the value of industrialization.

ABSTRACT

To investigate the effect of treadmill running on the ability of learning in young rats, male Sprague-Dawley rats (5 weeks of age) were used for the experiment. Animals were randomly divided into the control and running groups (n=15 in each group). The rats in running group were made run on a motor-driven treadmill for 1 week at a speed of 2 m/min for the first 5 min, at a speed of 5 m/min for the next 5 min, then at a speed of 8 m/min for the last 20 min. Then the Morris water maze was used to observe learning and memory ability of rats in both groups. The tests consisted of place navigation and spatial probe test. We found that, in place navigation training, the latency of rats in running group was less than that in control group (P<0.05); and from the third training session on, there was significant difference between the rats in control and running groups in swimming velocity (P<0.01); furthermore, it was observed that the rats in running group had stronger motivation and more exact orientation in searching for platform, which could be indicated by the index of turn angle and angular velocity. In spatial probe test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in swimming velocity, percentage of swimming distance and frequency of crossing platform in D quadrant, where the platform situated (P>0.05). These findings suggest that low speed treadmill running can enhance the ability of learning in young rats.

ABSTRACT

To observe the influence of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on differentiation of rat mesencephalic neural stem cells (NSCs), the numbers of neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes generated from NSCs were analyzed after differentiation for 3 days by using immunocytochemistry technique. The results show that: (1) TNF-alpha enhanced the proportions of neurons and oligodendrocytes in progeny of NSCs; and (2) TNF-alpha induced the proliferation of oligodendrocytes derived from NSCs, but the proliferation of astrocytes was not influenced by TNF-alpha. We conclude that the TNF-alpha could influence the application of NSCs.
