Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most affected neurodegenerative diseases in the world. Deregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is believed to play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases including PD. p25 is a cleavage peptide of p35, a physiologic activator of Cdk5. p25 combines to Cdk5 and leads to the hyperactivity of Cdk5, which in turn hyperphosphorylates downstream substrates and leads to neuroinflammation and apoptosis of neurons. Previously, we have demonstrated that adeno-associated virus serotype-9 (AAV9) mediated Cdk5 inhibitory peptide (CIP) inhibits the activity of Cdk5/p25 complex and alleviates pathologic and behavioral changes in Alzheimer’s disease mouse model. In this study, we evaluated whether AAV9-CIP protected dopaminergic (DA) neurons in 1-methyl-4-phe-nyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-probenecid (MPTP/p) induced PD mouse model. The data showed that administration of AAV9-CIP by intracerebroventricular injection 1 week before MPTP/p exposure protected loss of DA neurons in substantia nigra compact of the model mice. Importantly, AAV9-CIP also alleviated the motor and anxiety-like symptoms of the disease animals. In summary, AAV9 mediated CIP might be a potential intervention for PD.
This research was aimed to investigate the accuracy of U-shaped network (UNet)-based computed tomography angiography (CTA) and B-mode ultrasonography (US) in the perforator localization of free anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF). Based on UNet, a fusion of deep supervision mechanism, squeeze-and-excitation module, and attention mechanism was introduced to optimize the algorithm. Then, a CTA segmentation model, DA-UNet, was established. The segmentation performance of DA-UNet and other algorithms was compared under the same conditions. 30 patients who were planned to receive ALTF surgery were selected as the research objects. According to different preoperative localization methods, they were divided into group A (CTA) and group B (B-mode US), 15 cases in each group. Combined with the actual situation during surgery, the diagnostic accordance rate, sensitivity (Sen), specificity, and the distance between the perforator location and the actual location were compared between the two groups. The Dice coefficient, Jaccard index, Sen, the area under curve (AUC), and average Hausdorff distance (AVD) of the DA-UNet segmentation algorithm were 80.70%, 69.97%, 77.56%, 0.887, and 2.48, respectively. These results were significantly better than those of other algorithms ( P < 0.05 ). In group A, the diagnostic accordance rate, Sen, and specificity of patients were 96.55%, 90.52%, and 73.58%, respectively, which were higher than 91.53%, 81.36%, and 15.60% of patients in group B significantly ( P < 0.05 ). There was no statistical difference in the distance between the perforator location and the actual location ( P > 0.05 ). It showed that the accuracy of CTA under the UNet-based DA-UNet segmentation model in the perforator localization of ALTF was better than that of B-mode US. Thus, a reference could be provided for the preparation of free ALTF and its clinical application.
The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of anterolateral thigh perforator flap and abdominal pedicled flap repair for treating traumatic tissue defects of the hand. A total of 140 patients with hand trauma tissue defects were randomly divided (random number table) into Group A and Group B, with 70 cases in each group. Group A was given anterolateral thigh perforator flap repair, while Group B was given abdominal pedicled flap repair. The healing time of wounds in Group A was noted to be shorter than that in Group B (P<0.001). At one week after surgery, VAS score, serum IL-6 and TNF-a levels in Group A were 4 times lower than those in Group B (p<0.001 for all). Anterolateral thigh perforator flap repair works more effectively on traumatic tissue defects of the hands than abdominal pedicled flap repair. ---Continue
With the rapid development of the mobile Internet and changes in consumer concepts, the current domestic consumer market and consumer behaviors show a significant trend of upgrading and upgrading, and consumers are more enjoying a convenient, fast, high-quality, and personalized shopping experience. Online and offline consumption boundaries are gradually blurred, shopping scenes are becoming more abundant, and retailers' ultra-omnichannel integration and development continue to accelerate. The booming development of e-commerce has promoted the rapid development of logistics systems, but the high cost of logistics has become the main factor restricting its rapid development. This paper takes Walmart as an example, firstly analyses the current situation of Walmart's logistics system, then combines it with the cost analysis of JD.com's logistics system. By researching the development mode of the combination of physical commerce and e-commerce in China, we explore the most feasible cooperation scheme between Walmart and JD.com by studying their strategic cooperation. It has certain reference significance for further construction improvement of the logistics system of domestic e-commerce enterprises.
