ZHAI Jian1 HAN Xiaochen1▲ YAN Jinyin2
Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Allicin inhibition on the growth of human thyroid papillary carcinoma TPC-1 cells. Methods The cultured TPC-1 cells were divided into the control group and the Allicin treatment groups with different concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40, 50 μg/mL). Methylthiazoletrazolium (MTT) method was used to determine the inhibitory effect of different concentrations of Allicin treatment on the growth of TPC-1 cells at 24, 48, 72 h. Inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope were used to observe the change of cell morphology and ultrastructure after treatment by Allicin. Flow cytometry was used to test the effects of Allicin on cell cycle. Immunocytochemical technique was used to detect the effects on expression of intracellular apoptotic protein Bax and anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 after treatment by Allicin. Results Compared with the control group, different concentrations of Allicin could inhibit the growth of TPC-1 cells, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the inhibition rate of Allicin on cells was related to time and concentration. With the increase of Allicin concentration, the proportion of G2/M phase cells was significantly increased, while that of G0/G1 phase cells was decreased. All pairwise comparison of adjacent concentration groups showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) except the control group and 10 μg/mL Allicin group (P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the intracellular Bcl-2 expression was decreased and Bax expression was increased in every concentration of Allicin treatment group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05); the expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax in Allicin treatment groups with different adjacent concentrations were compared, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Allicin can inhibit the growth of TPC-1 cells of papillary thyroid cancer, and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of cell proliferation by Allicin and the induction of apoptosis by down-regulating Bcl-2 and up-regulating Bax.

FENG Qilin1 DENG Aiping1▲ LIU Jue1 FAN Yanbo2
Objective To investigate the effects of ginseng on intestinal mucosa and the levels of serum C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in mice after infection. Methods Among 60 mice, 15 mice were randomly selected as blank control group, and the remaining 45 mice were used to prepare severe abdominal infection model (infected group). Then 45 mice models were divided into three groups by the random number table method: model group, anti-inflammatory group, anti-inflammatory + ginseng group, with 15 mice in each group. The anti-inflammatory group was given Imipenem/Cilastatin 333.33 mg/kg (intraperitoneal injection, once 12 h); the anti-inflammatory + ginseng group was given intragastric administration of ginsenoside Rb1 (purity>98%) 50 mg/(kg·d) on the basis of the anti-inflammatory group; the model group was given the same amount of sterile saline by intraperitoneal injection. Blood samples were taken at 24, 48 h and 72 h after treatment. Five rats in each group were used to observe the changes of CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the intestinal mucosa of mice in each group; the terminal ileum was harvested and HE staining was performed. The intestinal mucosal layer was observed and the intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis index was calculated. Results After severe intraperitoneal infection, mice intestinal mucosal atrophied, intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis increased significantly, and the more obvious the intestinal mucosal atrophied, the greater the number of intestinal mucosal epithelial cell apoptosis was. After treatment for 72 h, the levels of CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 in mice with severe intraperitoneal infection of anti-inflammatory + ginseng group were significantly decreased (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and the decrease range was greater than that of anti-inflammatory group (P < 0.05); the apoptotic index of anti-inflammatory + ginseng group was significantly lower than that of the model group and the anti-inflammatory group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Severe abdominal infection can cause intestinal mucosal atrophy, intestinal mucosal atrophy is related to the number of intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis; ginseng has a protective effect on the intestinal mucosa, which can improve the symptoms of intestinal mucosal atrophy, reduce the impact on intestinal mucosal secretions.

22 Study of the effects and mechanisms of gastrodin to promote glucose consumption in L6 myotubes
ZHANG Yong KONG Weijia
Objective To investigate the activities and possible mechanisms of gastrodin (GSTD) to promote glucose consumption in L6 myotubes. Methods Rat L6 skeletal muscle cells were cultured in vitro and differentiated into myotubes. After serum starvation, GSTD was used to treat the myotubes for 24 h, either alone or in combination with insulin at a concentration of 0.05 nmol/L. Metformin (Met) was used a positive control drug. In some experiments, L6 myotubes were treated with 100 nmol/L of insulin for 24 h to induce insulin resistance before drug treatment. Commercial kits were used to determine cell glucose consumption, L-lactate release, and ATP production. The expression levels of target proteins and genes were determined by Western blot and real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results GSTD promoted the basal glucose consumption of L6 myotubes in a concentration-dependent manner [comparing with control cells, the diferences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01)]. In addition, GSTD greatly increased the insulin-stimulated glucose consumption [comparing with cells treated with insulin or GSTD alone, the diferences were statistically significant (P < 0.05)]. In a state of insulin resistance, GSTD at a concentration of 500 μmol/L was still effective to promote cell glucose consumption (P < 0.05). After treatment, Met significantly increased cellular L-lactate release but decreased ATP production [comparing with control cells, the diferences were highly statistically significant (P < 0.01)]. However, GSTD did not have such effects. GSTD greatly up-regulated the protein and mRNA expression levels of GLUT4 in L6 myotubes. In addition, it activated the AMPK and Akt pathways, as indicated by the significant increase of p-AMPKα and p-Akt levels after treatment [comparing with control cells, the diferences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01)]. Conclusion When used to treat L6 myotubes, GSTD greatly increases glucose consumption and is able to overcome insulin resistance. The mechanisms may be associated with the up-regulation of GLUT4 as well as the activation of AMPK and Akt pathways.

Objective To prepare a novel nano-alcoholic plastid-propylene glycol liposome, namely, adriamycin propanediol liposomes (A-PL) using adriamycin as a model drug and to investigate its anti-tumor effect in vitro. Methods A-PL glycol liposomes were prepared and their microscopic morphology, particle size and potential were observed by transmission electron microscopy, laser particle size analyzer and potentiometer. Human hepatoma cell line HepG-2 was used as the model cell line. The cytotoxicity of A-PL was examined by MTT assay. The uptake of A-PL by HepG-2 was observed by flow cytometry and inverted fluorescence microscopy. The function of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was detected by rhodamine reagent. Results A-PL had a round appearance, good dispersion and no aggregation. The average particle size was 150 nm, the Zeta potential was -5.78 mV, and the encapsulation rate was 83.7%. The cytotoxicity of A-PL was significantly higher than that of adriamycin solution; A-PL could increase cell uptake of drugs. In addition, A-PL was easier to enter cells and had a strong affinity with the nucleus. A-PL could inhibit the overexpression of P-gp. Conclusion The A-PL prepared in this study overcomes the shortcomings of traditional liposome aggregation, has the advantages of stability and small particle size, and has good anti-tumor effect. The mechanism of action is mainly dependent on the strong endocytosis of A-PL and the inhibition of poloxamer on drug efflux pump.

47 Research progress of traditional Chinese medicine in regulating the MAPK signaling pathway of cerebral ischemia
DONG Xiaohong1 WANG Yueyang2 HE Ziwei3 SHANG Yanqi3 LIANG Hui3 GU Yuanyuan4 ZHOU Zhongguang4
Cerebral ischemia is often associated with various neurological diseases such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia. The mechanism of pathological injury after cerebral ischemia is very complicated. Long-term cerebral ischemia can cause progressive neurological dysfunction and cognitive dysfunction. At present, there are limited kinds of drugs for cerebral ischemia, and most of them are still in the experimental stage. MAPK is an important signal pathway in eukaryotic cells, which is regulated by many factors and widely expressed in the central nervous system. Studies have shown that ERK1/2, JNk, p38 of Mark family interacting with the signal pathways like caspase-3, Akt, Nrf2, NF-κB and others are involved in signal transduction of early pathological and physiological mechanisms of cerebral ischemia. Combining these signaling pathways with researches of its related gene and protein, this paper reviews the protective mechanism of Chinese medicine on cerebral ischemic neurons in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of cerebral ischemia and lay the foundation for the development of traditional Chinese medicine which can play the role of brain protection through MAPK.

55 Research progress on improving myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a with the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in chronic heart failure
LI Huiling JIA Meijun LIU Yongming
Chronic heart failure (CHF ) is the end stage of a variety of cardiovascular diseases, with high incidence, high mortality and expensive treatment. The abnormal expression and activity of cardiac myocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) are the key pathological mechanism for the occurrence and development of CHF. The results of the clinical trial that AAV1/SERCA2a genetically treats CHF were not satisfactory, and the researchers restated that full attention should be paid to drug screening, research and development to improve the endogenous myocardial SERCA2a expression level and activity. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history in treating CHF with remarkable therapeutic effects. In traditional Chinese medicine, CHF can be classified to the cotogories of "palpitation", "asthma syndrome" and "edema". A lot of researches indicate that Chinese medicine compound, single Chinese herb and Chinese medicine monomer can prevent and treat CHF through improving endogenous myocardial SERCA2a expression and activity.

ZHANG Baoyu1 SUN Rongxin1 SHI Wei1 ZHAO Dong1▲ XIA Weibo2▲
Objective To investigate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and type 2 diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Methods A total of 148 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to Beijing Luhe Hospital from July 2012 to June 2018, and they were divided into 5 groups according to urine albumer excretion rate in 8 h (8°UAER). Thirty patients with 8°UAER<20 μg/min and normal serum creatinine were DM1 group; 30 patients with 20 μg/min≤8°UAER<200 μg/min and normal serum creatinine were DM2 group; 28 patients with 8°UAER≥200 μg/min and normal serum creatinine were DM3 group; 29 patients with 8°UAER≥200 μg/min and serum creatinine>120 μmol/L, not yet been dialysis were DM4 group; 31 patients diagnosed as DKD and been dialysis were DM5 group. Twenty-nine health control individuals were selected as control group (N group). Blood was collected by fasting vein. Blood routine examination, glucose, lipid, liver and kidney function were examined in each group. Eight-hour urine in DM1, DM2, DM3 and DM4 group were collected and 8°UAER were detected. Results NLR gradually increased in DKD progress and NLR in DM4 and DM5 group were higher than that in N, DM1, DM2, DM3 group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), NLR in DM3 group was higher than that in N and DM1 group (P < 0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that NLR was positively correlated with age (r = 0.317, P < 0.001), course of disease (r = 0.306, P < 0.001), 8°UAER (r = 0.293, P = 0.006), urea nitrogen (r = 0.404, P < 0.001), total parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (r = 0.465, P < 0.001) and was negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate (r = -0.438, P < 0.001), albumin (r = -0.194, P = 0.019), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (r = -0.182, P = 0.028). Multiple linear regression equation: YLogNLR = 0.29+0.54Log8°UAER+0.004 age (R2 = 0.152, P = 0.001). ROC curve showed NLR=2.29 as the cut point, and the sensitivity and specificity of DKD diagnosis were 52.6% and 73.3% (area under the ROC curve is 0.661, 95%CI: 0.544-0.779, P = 0.014). Conclusion NLR gradually increases during the progression of diabetic nephropathy, and is significantly high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with proteinuria. It is positively correlated with 8°UAER, but the increase of NLR is later than 8°UAER, suggesting that increasing NLR may predict the occurrence of diabetic kidney disease.

Chemiluminescence was used to detect the expression levels of serum tumor markers CEA and CA125, and immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of DBP in endometrial and paracancer tissues, and the integral optical density value (IOD) was measured. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between DBP and tumor markers CEA and CA125. Results The expression of IOD value of DBP in endometrial carcinoma was higher than that in adjacent tissues, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was a positive linear correlation between DBP and tumor markers CEA (r = 0.837, P < 0.01) and CA125 (r = 0.787, P < 0.01). Conclusion The expression of DBP is increased in patients with endometrial cancer and is closely related to the occurrence and development of endometrial cancer. The combined detection of CEA, CA125 and DBP has important significance for the early diagnosis of endometrial cancer, and provides a new research target for the treatment and prognosis of endometrial cancer.

164 Effect of continuous nursing with the emphasis of life style intervention in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus
SONG Lili1 WANG Jing2▲ HE Kun3 LENG Yuqing4 LIU Junzhi5 BI Hongbiao6 XIAO Yuan1 QI Yingfei1
Objective To explore the effect of intensive lifestyle intervention on type 1 diabetes in children and adolescents Methods A total of 143 childrens and adolescents with type 1 diabetes admitted to the Department of Paediatrics and Endocrinology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from March 2014 to October 2016 were selected by convenient sampling method. According to the admission number of the patients, they were randomly divided into control group (74 cases) and intervention group (69 cases). At discharge, patients in the control group received routine discharge guidance, and the intervention group was combined with a 6 month continuous nursing mode focusing on intensive lifestyle intervention. At discharge, 3 months after intervention and 6 months after intervention, the quality of life scale (DQOLY), diabetes management self-efficacy scale (C-DMSES) and Likert five-level scale were used to evaluate the quality of life, self-management efficacy and compliance of the patients. Meanwhile, the number of readmission in the two groups within 6 months was calculated. Results Three months after discharge and 6 months after discharge, DQOLY evaluation of the intervention group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05), C-DMSES score was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and C-DMSES score of the two groups was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05), and compliance of the intervention group was significantly better than that of the control group (P < 0.05). In addition, within 6 months after discharge, the number of patients in the control group who were readmission due to non-compliance with medicine, readmission due to irregular diet, and readmission due to diabetic complications were significantly higher than those in the intervention group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Continuous nursing with the focus of intensive lifestyle intervention can significantly improve the quality of life of patients, improve their satisfaction and compliance, enhance the self-confidence of patients' self-management behavior, and effectively reduce the short-term readmission rate after discharge.

169 The clinical effect of fast track surgery concept on gastrointestinal function recovery after colon cancer resection
LI Jing1 YIN Hongzhuan2▲
Objective To explore the application effect of fast-track surgery (FTS) concept in gastrointestinal function recovery after colon cancer resection. Methods A total of 99 patients who underwent colon cancer resection from May 2016 to February 2018 in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were selected as study subjects. Patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 49) and research group (n = 50) according to the random number table method. Patients in the control group were treated with routine perioperative management, and patients in the study group were treated with FTS nursing intervention on this basis. Clinical indexes and gastrointestinal function were compared between the two groups. Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid protein A (SAA) were compared between the two groups before surgery, 3 days after surgery and 7 days after surgery. The postoperative complications of the two groups were observed. Results Hospitalization time, first anal exhaust time, first defecation time and recovery time of normal diet in the study group were all shorter than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and operation time between the two groups (P > 0.05). 3, 7 days after surgery, IL-6, CRP and SAA levels of the two groups were higher than those before surgery, and IL-6, CRP and SAA levels at 7 days after surgery were lower than those 3 days after surgery. IL-6, CRP and SAA levels at 7 days after surgery were all lower than 3 days after surgery (P < 0.05). IL-6, CRP and SAA levels of the study group were lower than those of the control group 3, 7 days after surgery (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 10.00% (5/50), which was significantly lower than 30.61% (15/49) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion After colon cancer resection, FTS nursing intervention can significantly improve clinical indicators, promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and effectively improve patients′ inflammatory response, reduce the incidence of complications, which has certain clinical application value.

Objective To investigate the effect of behavioral change combined with traditional healthy education in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction. Methods Clinical data of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction admitted to West China Hospital, West China School of Medicine Sichuan University from March 2017 to March 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different nursing modes, they were divided into two groups, 50 patients in the control group (traditional health education mode) and 50 patients in the observation group (behavior change measures). Blood glucose control knowledge score, self-efficacy behavior ability score, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin level, national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score and daily living ability scale (ADL) score before and after intervention were observed in the two groups, and patient satisfaction in the two groups was observed. Results Patients in the two groups were compared in pre-intervention glycemic control knowledge score, self-efficacy behavioral ability score, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and hemoglobin level, NIHSS score and ADL score, there were no significant differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). After intervention, the glycemic control knowledge score, self-efficacy behavior ability score and ADL score of patients in the two groups were all higher than those in the same group before intervention, and the fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, hemoglobin level and NIHSS score were all lower than those in the same group before intervention. In addition, patients in the observation group were higher than those in the control group in terms of glycemic control knowledge score, self-efficacy behavior ability score and ADL score after intervention, fasting blood glucose, 2 h postprandial blood glucose, hemoglobin level and NIHSS score, and the satisfaction of patients in the observation group was higher than that in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The application of behavioral change combined with traditional healthy educaticon in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with cerebral infarction can improve patients′ knowledge of blood glucose control, self-efficacy, improve blood glucose level, reduce nerve function injury, and improve life ability and satisfaction, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
