Relationship of Serum Fibroblast Growth Factor 23, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α, and Klotho with In-Stent Restenosis in Elderly Patients with Coronary Artery Disease after the Treatment of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

In-stent restenosis (ISR) commonly occurs in elderly patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Atherosclerosis in elderly patients may be the leading cause of ISR. Therefore, we aim to explore the relationship between vascular calcification-associated factors and ISR occurrence.

[Effects of electroacupuncture on the blood-brain-barrier and proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β and IL-18 in the hippocampus of rats with vascular dementia].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the hippocampus of vascular dementia (VD) rats, so as to explore the mechanism of EA on treatment of VD.

Methods: SD male rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, and EA groups, with 15 rats in each group. The VD rat model was established by permanently occlusion of the bilateral middle cerebral artery.

[Effects of electroacupuncture on ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory pathway and autophagy related proteins in hippocampus of vascular dementia rats].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on learning-memory ability, ultrastructural changes of hippocampal CA1 neurons, reactive oxygen species (ROS) level, Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) and auto-phagy-related proteins expression in the hippocampus of vascular dementia (VD) rats, so as to reveal its partial mechanisms in treating VD.

Methods: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, and EA groups (=10 rats in each group). The VD model was established by permanent ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries.

[Effect of electroacupuncture on gut microbiota and serum IL-1β and IL-18 in rats with vascular dementia based on principle of "curing brain disorders by treating intestines"].

Objective: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Baihui"(GV20), "Dazhui"(GV14), "Shenshu" (BL23)and "Zusanli"(ST36) on the intestinal flora and serum interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 contents in vascular dementia (VD) rats.

Methods: SD rats were randomized into sham operation, VD model, GV20+GV14+BL23 (EA-basic acupoints), and EA-basic acupoints+ST36 and EA-basic acupoints+probiotics groups (=10 in each group). EA (10 Hz/50 Hz) was conducted for 30 min, once daily for 4 consecutive weeks.

[Acupoint selection rules of neurogenic dysphagia treated with acupuncture and moxibustion in ancient times].

Acupoint selection rules of neurogenic dysphagia treated with acupuncture and moxibustion from pre-Qin to late Qing Dynasty in were analyzed based on data mining. The literature regarding acupuncture and moxibustion for neurogenic dysphagia was searched and screened according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria in (5th Edition), the prescriptions were extracted according to the principle of acupoint extraction.The SPSS 21.

Solvo-thermal synthesis of a unique alkaline earth-transition Ba-Cd micro-porous coordination framework as hetero-metallic luminescent sensor for Cu and real-time detection of benzaldehyde.

In this work a unique hetero-metallic alkaline earth-transition Ba-Cd luminescent micro-porous metal-organic framework {[BaCd(μ-tp)(μ-Cl)(HO) (DMF)]·0.75HO} (Htp=terephthalic acid) (1) has been prepared under solvo-thermal conditions. In 1 infinite 1D {Ba-X-Cd} (X=O, Cl) inorganic chains are linked via these full de-pronated tp ligands forming a unique 3D IO type micro-porous coordination framework.
