Berberine exhibits anticancer efficacy against a variety of malignancies, including breast cancer (BRCA). However, the underlying mechanism is ambiguous. This study sought to explore the targets and the probable mechanism of berberine regulating autophagy in BRCA through network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and molecular docking.

Background: An algorithm of bupivacaine dose based on height is applied to reduce maternal hypotension in caesarean section under spinal anesthesia. This study is designed to further verify whether the algorithm of bupivacaine dose based on height is suitable.

Methods: The parturients were grouped according to height.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death from diseases. When the blood supply to the brain tissue is interrupted, neuronal core death occurs due to the lack of glucose and oxygen in min. Blood pressure lowering after ischemic stroke was proven to be an effective strategy to achieve neurovascular protection and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.

Urethane has little effect on nervous system and is often used in neuroscience studies. However, the effect of urethane in neurons is not thoroughly clear. In this study, we investigated changes in neuron responses to tones in inferior colliculus during urethane anesthesia.

Background: There is a high incidence of maternal hypotension in spinal anesthesia for cesarean section. The aim of the study is to investigate whether there is a height-based dosing algorithm of bupivacaine that provides adequate anesthesia with less maternal hypotension.

Methods: There were 2 groups of 280 parturients who did not receive prophylactic fluid preloading: Test and Conventional group.

Objective: To investigate the application value of ropivacaine combined with sufentanil for epidural labor analgesia in painless labor.

Methods: A total of 157 cases of pregnant female received painless labor in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were randomly divided into observation group (n=81 cases) and control group (n=76 cases). The subjects in the observation group received 0.

Increasing evidence indicated that aberrant expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are involved in tumorigenesis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The purpose of this study was to construct a lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network based on weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA). First, modules with highly correlated genes were identified from GSE102349 via WGCNA, and the preservation of the modules was evaluated by GSE68799.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of tumor-infiltrating immune cells and microenvironment-relevant genes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and their correlations.

Materials And Methods: The "xCell" algorithm was used to calculate the enrichment scores for 33 immune cells in the samples of GSE12452, GSE40290, GSE53819, GSE68799, and GSE102349. The difference of immune cells between NPC group and non-cancerous group and the prognostic value of the immune cells were analyzed.

loose patch and breakthrough whole-cell recordings are useful tools for investigating the intrinsic and synaptic properties of neurons. However, the correlation among pipette resistance, seal condition, and recording time is not thoroughly clear. Presently, we investigated the recording time of different pipette resistances and seal conditions in loose patch and breakthrough whole-cell recordings.

Confirming the effect of general anesthetic on brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) is important to interpret BAEP data, elucidate the neuroanatomical sites of action of general anesthetic and monitor the effect of general anesthetic. However, the effect of general anesthetic on BAEP is not thoroughly understood, which may be due to unreasonable acoustic stimulation scheme. This study aimed to redesign acoustic stimulation scheme and attempted to test our hypothesis that general anesthetic induces differential changes in BAEP latency in mouse.

Introduction: Effectively preventing or treating spinal-induced maternal hypotension is considered to be the Holy Grail of obstetric anaesthesia. Prophylactic fluid preloading and vasopressors decrease hypotension but may aggravate heart load, induce fetal acidosis or maternal bradycardia. Using low-dose local anaesthetic decreases hypotension but may cause insufficient anaesthesia.

Auditory evoked potential (AEP) is an effective index for the effects of general anesthetics. However, it's unknown if AEP can differentiate the effects of general anesthetics on nerve fibers and synapses. Presently, we investigated AEP latency and amplitude changes to different acoustic intensities during pentobarbital anesthesia.
