[Effect of Xinfeng Capsule on Beclin1/PI3K-AKT-mTOR of Adjuvant Arthritis Rats].

Objective To observe expression levels of autophagy related 5,7,12 mRNA (Atg5, 7,12), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3-II), Beclin1, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) , protein kinase B (AKT) , mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) , IL-1 β, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL- 10 in adjuvant arthritis (AA) rats, and effects of Xinfeng Capsule (XFC) on them. Methods Totally 48 male SD rats were divided into 4 groups, i.e.

[Effect of Xinfeng Capsule on AS Patients and Their Serum Immunoglobulin Subtypes and Peripheral Lymphocyte Autophagy].

Objective: To observe the effect of Xinfeng Capsule (XFC) on ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients' symptoms and signs, serum immunoglobulin levels, peripheral blood lymphocyte autophagy protein, autophagy gene, and to explore its mechanism.

Methods: Totally 59 AS patients were assigned to the treatment group (39 cases) and the control group (20 cases) according to random digit table. Patients in the treatment group received XFC, 0.

[Regional cerebral oxygen saturation in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome].

Objective: This study examined the changes of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) by noninvasive near infrared spectrophotometry in neonates with meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).

Methods: Seventy-three full neonates with MAS were divided into three groups by respiratory symptoms: asymptomatic group (group 1, n=38), common group (group 2, n=28) and severe group (group 3, n=7). Near infrared spectrophotometry was used to measure the cerebral rSO2 on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after birth.
