This study analyzed the endogenous metabolites and metabolic pathways in the serum of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats gavaged with the Eerdun Wurile basic formula (EWB) using metabolomics methods and network pharmacology to explore the possible mechanism of action of the EWB in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). SD rats were divided into the basic formula group, which received the EWB, and the control group, which received equal amounts of distilled water. The blood was collected from the abdominal aorta and analyzed for metabolite profiles using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS).

Mice (6-8-week-old male C57BL/6 J) were selected to establish an animal model of POCD by combining intracerebroventricular injection of lipopolysaccharide and nephrectomy; EW formulation and EW basic formulation were administered intra-gastrically for 7 consecutive days. The cognitive performance was assessed by Morris water maze test.

Eerdun wurile may effect anti-postoperative cognitive function.
Aim Of The Study: To investigate the molecular mechanism of the Mongolian medicine Eerdun Wurile Basic Formula (EWB) in improving postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) based on Network pharmacology, and to confirm involvement of the SIRT1/p53 signal pathway, one of the key signal pathways, by using the POCD mouse model.
Chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) refers to pain that lasts for more than three months due to a disease or an injury to the somatosensory nervous system. The incidence of CNP has been increasing in the world, causing it to become a global concern and patients often experience spontaneous pain, hyperalgesia, abnormal pain or even abnormal sensation as some of its main symptoms. In addition to serious pain and poor physical health, CNP also negatively affects patients' mental health, thus impacting the overall quality of their lives.

Most are found in the left cardiac system, of which 75% of myxomas are located in the left atrium [Pinede 2001], and the origin of the left ventricle is relatively rare. Surgical resection is the most effective method for the treatment of myxoma, but because of the complex anatomy of the left ventricle, most of the reported cases are performed through the traditional median thoracotomy through the ascending aorta and vena cava to establish cardiopulmonary bypass.

Methods: Fifty clean-grade adults Sprague Dawley (SD) male rats were assigned to one of five groups: (1) a control group with no anesthesia (Group C), (2) a POCD model group with anesthesia only (Group P), (3) POCD group with low-dose EW treated (Group L), (4) a POCD group with high-dose EW treated (Group H), and (5) a POCD model group with dexmedetomidine treated (Group D) for positive control. The study started 7 days after all rats had acclimated to housing.
Objective: To determine whether brief ultrasound-guided treatment of hemodynamic shock and respiratory failure immediately before emergency noncardiac surgery reduced 30-day mortality.
Design: Parallel, nonblinded, randomized trial with 1:1 allocation to control and intervention groups.
Setting: Twenty-eight major hospitals within China.
Purpose: DNA nanostructures, with the advantages of structural designability and spatial addressability, have shown a great potential in the field of drug delivery and bio-medicine. Herein, we aimed to prepare technetium-99m radiolabeled DNA cube nanoparticles (Tc-DCN) and expect to build a DCN-based drug carrier and nuclear medicine imaging platform.
Methods: DCN could be readily assembled with 6 designed DNA oligonucleotides at an equal mole ratio in a single annealing procedure.
Background: During uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), cardiovascular adverse events may occur which can be harmful to patients.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the protective ventilation strategy on the function of vascular endothelial cells.
Methods: Forty obstructive apnea syndrome (OSA) patients who underwent uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) were enrolled.
Unlabelled: This essay aims to make investigation on the mechanism of glucose metabolism disorder and Lipopolysaccharide administration-induced cognitive function impairment in adult rats with surgery.
Methods: Divide the objects, 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats at the age of 9 months, into 4 groups. Provide unilateral nephrectomy surgery and/or lipopolysaccharide intraperitoneal injection.

Our study was aimed to investigate anesthetic effects of propofol in patients with different blood groups.A total of 72 participants were enrolled from patients arranged for surgeries of cholecystectomy, tonsillectomy, and spinal operation. Each blood group (A, B, AB, and O) contained 18 participants.

Methods: One hundred and eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated control group (C) (n = 6), intestinal ischemia group (I) (n = 6), aFGF treatment group (A) (n = 48) and intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group (R) (n = 48). In group I, the animals were killed after 45 min of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion, while in groups R and A, the rats sustained 45 min of SMA occlusion and were then treated with normal saline and aFGF, respectively, sustained 15 min, 30 min, 1, 2, 6, 12, 24, or 48 h of reperfusion, respectively.

Objective: To observe the proapoptotic effect of the homogenate of different parts of pig's full thickness dermal wounds on cultured fibroblasts.
Methods: The tissues were dissected from the wound center and sub-neoepithelium separately 15 days after homogenization and sterilization, the specimens stored at -70 degrees C. The forth passage of the fibroblasts were cultured for 16 hours in different culture solutions and were grouped into 7 groups: DMEM containing 5% fetal bovine serum as Group I, DMEM containing 5% homogenate of tissue from wound center as Group II, DMEM containing 5% homogenate of tissue from sub-neoepithelium as Group III, the culture solution of Group I mixed with 10 microg/ml GM6001 in Group IV, with the culturing medium of Group III plus 10 microg/ml GM6001 as Group V, the culture solution of Group II mixed with 10 ng/ml aFGF as Group VII, and the culture solution of Group III mixed with 10 ng/ml aFGF as Group VII.
