To study the active ingredient and possible mechanism of Huisheng oral liquid in the treatment of lung cancer by network pharmacology.The active ingredient and drug targets of Huisheng oral liquid were screened using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID), and lung cancer targets were screened using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The drug targets of the effective components of Huisheng oral liquid were matched with disease targets and the obtained intersecting targets were imported into the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interaction Gene/Proteins (STRING) database to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. R software and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database were used for Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analyses, and Cytoscape software was used to construct a Huisheng oral liquid component target-lung cancer target network. The function and pathway of the therapeutic target of Huisheng oral liquid for lung cancer were analyzed.A total of 1,376 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of lung cancer were obtained, and 185 potential effective components of Huisheng oral liquid in the treatment of lung cancer were obtained, including quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, and baicalein. There were 36 intersecting targets between Huisheng oral liquid and lung cancer, and the key targets for lung cancer treatment were CDKN1A, CCNB1, MDM2, CDK1, ErbB2, E2F1, EGFR, etc. Huisheng oral liquid mainly regulates the p53 signaling pathway.The mechanism of Huisheng oral liquid in the treatment of lung cancer is mainly reflected in regulating tumor cell apoptosis, inhibiting angiogenesis, and improving immunity.

miR-517a has been reported to act as an oncogenic miRNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma and lung cancer. However, the roles and underlying molecular mechanism of miR-517a in glioma remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of miR-517a in clinical glioma tissues and glioma cell lines was examined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Transfected with knockdown or forced expression of miR-517a, the effects of miR-517a on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion were detected through in vitro and in vivo tumorigenesis assays. Here, we report that miR-517a expression was up-regulated in glioma tissues when compared with normal brain tissues, and up-regulation of miR-517a level is tightly correlated with the status of pathology classification of glioma. A functional assay found that overexpression of miR-517a in glioma cells markedly promoted or suppressed cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion, respectively. Moreover, we revealed that the knockdown of miR-517a dramatically suppressed glioma cell growth, migration, and invasion in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we found that knockdown of miR-517a significantly induced apoptosis. Therefore, miR–517a acts an oncogenic miRNA that promotes tumor progression in glioma, and thus may become a promising therapeutic candidate for glioma.

According to a number of issues in the traditional temperature measurement, the multi-channel temperature measurement system based on virtual instrument is developed. In terms of measurement range and accuracy, Integrated Temperature Sensor TMP36, platinum resistance Pt100, and K-type thermocouple are selected to achieve multi-point temperature measurement, signal conditioning circuit is designed to match with every sensor. On this basis, combined with the technical parameters of each component, by means of the theory of uncertainty, analysis of the total uncertainty of system has been made. The calculation results show that the selection of each component for the temperature measurement system is reasonable, which can completely meet the measurement requirements.

The output characteristics of the variable pole pitch capacitive sensor is introduced, the relationship between non-linear error and range is analyzed respectively using theoretical fitting，zero-crossing rotation fitting and best uniform approximation fitting，theoretical expression is derived，and examples of calculations and MATLAB simulation are carried out. It has turned out that the expression based on the best uniform approximation fitting is more reasonable, having higher accuracy, and non-linear error is apparently reduced when the input of relative variation is the same; while in the given nonlinearity conditions, the range was significantly increased. To some extent, this provides theoretical guidance to the design and application of the variable pole pitch capacitive sensors.

To investigate the impacts of blood pressure (BP) variability on reperfusion and long-term outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).The clinical data of 188 patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving IVT in Department of Neurology, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2009 to September 2014, including hour-to-hour BP measurements, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests and radiologic findings were retrospectively analyzed. The mean 24-h BP values, and BP variability profiles, including standard deviation (sd), average squared difference between successive measurements (sv), average squared difference between rise and drop successive measurements (sv-rise and sv-drop) were calculated. Reperfusion, defined as50% reduction in Tmax6 s perfusion lesion volume from baseline to follow-up scans, and clinical neurological outcome based on modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months after onset were also analyzed. The favorable outcome was defined as mRS 0-1 and unfavorable outcome as mRS 2-6. The binary logistic-regression model was performed to determine the independent risk factors of reperfusion and favorable outcome, respectively.Among 188 patients, 114 (60.6%) achieved reperfusion. During the 0-to-24 h blood pressure course, only systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability parameters were negatively correlated with reperfusion (sv: OR=0.421, 95% CI:0.187-0.950, P=0.037; sv-rise: OR=0.311, 95% CI:0.137-0.704, P=0.005) and long-term clinical outcomes (sv: OR=6.381, 95% CI:2.132-19.096, P=0.001; sv-rise: OR=5.615, 95% CI:2.152-14.654, P0.001; sv-drop: OR=3.009, 95% CI:1.263-7.169, P=0.013).SBP variability during the first 24 hours after IVT is negatively associated with cerebral reperfusion and unfavorable neurological outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving IVT.

Background Hypernatremia is an uncommon but important electrolyte abnormality in intensive care unit patients. Sepsis is one of the most common causes of intensive care unit admission, but few studies about the role of hypernatremia in sepsis has been published yet. In this study, we aimed to explore the risk factors for developing hypernatremia in patients with sepsis, and the prognosis of patients with sepsis with or without hypernatremia was also assessed. Materials and Methods In this retrospective cohort study of 51 septic intensive care unit patients at a single center, we examined the risk factors for the development of hypernatremia and the association of hypernatremia with clinical outcomes using univariate and multivariable analyses. Clinical outcomes such as mortality and hospital duration of patients with or without hypernatremia were also compared. Results Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (odds ratio = 1.15; 95% CI: 1.022-1.294) was found to be the only independent risk factor for hypernatremia in patients with sepsis. Moreover, patients developing hypernatremia during hospitalization showed significantly higher morbidity and mortality. Conclusions Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score may be an independent risk factor for hypernatremia in patients with sepsis. Moreover, hypernatremia is strongly associated with worse outcome in sepsis.

To investigate the risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in different cerebral regions and to explore its relation to clinical outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis therapy.The clinical, laboratory, and radiological data of 292 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis therapy in Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2009 to May 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. Deep HT was defined as HT located in basal ganglia, internal capsule, external capsule and thalamus, otherwise the lesion was defined as non-deep HT. Patients were divided into 3 groups [Deep HT(n=47), non-deep HT(n=82), non HT(n=8)] and the differences in clinical and demographic characteristics were compared by using one-way analysis of variance and Ξ2-test. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the independent risk factors of HT in different cerebral regions and clinical outcomes.Age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, baseline systolic blood pressure and the frequency of atrial fibrillation were different among three groups. Logistic regression analysis revealed that baseline NIHSS score (OR=1.126, 95%CI:1.063-1.193, P0.001) and baseline systolic blood pressure (OR=0.982, 95%CI:0.967-0.998, P=0.020) were independent risk factors of deep HT. Multivariate analysis also found that deep HT was an independent predictor of functional outcome after thrombolysis (OR=0.291, 95%CI:0.133-0.640, P=0.002).Baseline NIHSS score and systolic blood pressure are predictors for deep hemorrhagic transformation, which indicates the poor functional outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke following thrombolytic therapy.

Two theorems concerning the characterizations of the quantum Witt algebra at roots of unity are proved.

After introducing the q-analogue of the enveloping algebra of the Witt algebra, we construct q-analogues of the module of tensor fields over the Witt algebra and prove a partial q-analogue of Kaplansky's Theorem concerning this module of tensor fields.

The q-analogues of some concepts in the theory of nonassociative algebras are introduced and two characterizations are given for the quantum Witt algebra.

To examine sICAM-1 in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and the effect of TMP-SMZ therapy on its level and on pathological and immunological changes in rats.50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal group (N group), PCP model group (PCP group) and TMP-SMZ therapy group (SMZ group). 1 mg of dexamethasone was injected intramuscularly twice a week for rats in PCP and SMZ groups to induce PCP. Normal saline was injected for N group in the same way. When the infection was confirmed, TMP-SMZ was given to rats in SMZ group by 25 mg/(kg.d) for 5 days for 3 courses with an interval of 2 weeks. sICAM-1 in serum was detected by ELISA, and the pathological changes in lungs and liver and the Pc in alveoli of lungs were observed.The level of sICAM-1 in PCP and SMZ groups at the 3rd week [(1.847+/-0.50) ng/ml, (1.787+/-0.59) ng/ml] was lower notably than that at 0 week [(2.407+/-0.81) ng/ml, [(2.478+/-0.59) ng/ml respectively] (P0.05), and then increased gradually. It was significantly higher in PCP group at 9th week [(3.233+/-0.83) ng/ml] and at 12th week [(3.984+/-0.87) ng/ml] than that of 0 week (P0.05). Its level in SMZ group at 12th week [(3.621+/-l.62) ng/ml] was also higher than that in 0 week [(2.478+/-0.59) ng/ml] (P0.05). sICAM-1 level in both PCP and SMZ groups at 9th week and 12th week was higher than that of N group (P0.05, P0.01). There was no significant difference between SMZ and PCP groups at 9th week and 12th week (P0.05).The sICAM-1 level in rats was low but significantly increases after the induction of PCP.

Encephalitis associated with antibodies to gamma-aminobutyric-acid B (GABA-B) is a subgroup of autoimmune synaptic encephalitis with typical features of limbic encephalitis and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We report a case of anti-GABA-B receptor encephalitis in a 57-year-old man who presented with seizures, memory loss, and abnormal behavior. He developed partially neurological responses to immunotherapy, but refused comprehensive tumor screening. The symptoms were aggravated again 4 months later. Workup showed antibodies to GABA-B receptors and tumor screening revealed SCLC. It highlights the importance of early screening of underlying tumor and anti-tumor treatment in paraneoplastic cases.
