A High Order Bound Preserving Finite Difference Linear Scheme for Incompressible Flows

We propose a high order finite difference linear scheme combined with a high order bound preserving maximum-principle-preserving (MPP) flux limiter to solve the incompressible flow system. For such problem with highly oscillatory structure but not strong shocks, our approach seems to be less dissipative and much less costly than a WENO type scheme, and has high resolution due to a Hermite reconstruction. Spurious numerical oscillations can be controlled by the weak MPP flux limiter. Numerical tests are performed for the Vlasov-Poisson system, the 2D guiding-center model and the incompressible Euler system. The comparison between the linear and WENO type schemes, with and without the MPP flux limiter, will demonstrate the good performance of our proposed approach.

麦芽4个化学部位通过多巴胺D2受体对产后缺乳模型大鼠催乳作用研究

目的基于多巴胺D2受体(DRD2),考察小剂量麦芽4个化学部位的催乳作用,初步探讨小剂量麦芽生物碱对产后缺乳模型大鼠泌乳素(PRL)分泌的调节机制。方法采用ig甲磺酸溴隐亭方法制备缺乳大鼠模型,造模成功后,各给药组均ig给予相应的药物,应用ELISA法检测各组大鼠血清PRL、雌二醇(E_2)、孕酮(P)水平;HE染色观察各组大鼠乳腺组织病理改变;采用实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)法检测各组大鼠脑垂体中泌乳素受体及DRD2 mRNA表达。结果与对照组比较,模型组大鼠血清中PRL、P及E_2水平、脑垂体PRL mRNA表达水平显著降低;脑垂体DRD2 mRNA表达水平显著升高。与模型组比较,麦芽总生物碱组大鼠乳腺小叶体积明显增加,导管明显扩张,且导管及腺泡内含有大量乳汁。麦芽总生物碱明显增加模型大鼠血清中PRL、P、E_2水平及脑垂体PRL mRNA表达水平,降低脑垂体DRD2 mRNA表达水平。结论麦芽催乳的主要药效物质为总生物碱,其作用机制可能与促进PRL分泌,增加脑垂体PRL受体、降低DRD2 mRNA表达水平有关。

Predictive factors analysis of the efficacy of cyclophosphamide combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy

Objective To investigate the predictive factors affecting the efficacy of cyclophosphamide (CTX) combined with glucocorticoids in the treatment of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN), and to evaluate the efficacy of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) adjustment due to poor treatment. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Two hundreds and twenty-eight patients with IMN diagnosed by renal biopsy in the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 1, 2007 to December 1, 2016 were enrolled. All subjects were treated with CTX in combination with glucocorticoids. The patients were divided into two groups: remission group and no remission group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to determine the baseline clinical-pathological influencing factors for the remission of IMN in the enrolled patients. Results The number of total remission (including complete and partial remission) of the first CTX combined with glucocorticoid treatment in 228 patients with IMN was 188(82.5%). Among them, 141 patients (61.8%) had complete remission (CR), the median time for CR was 8(6, 12) months, and the median time for partial remission (PR) was 3(1, 4) months. The median follow-up time for this study was 25(13, 43) months. Compared with the remission group, the serum albumin level was lower in the non-remission group, the 24-hour urine protein content, the blood complement C3 and C4 levels were higher, and the pathological stage was milder (all P﹤0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that the levels of baseline serum albumin, complement C4, and pathological stage were independent predictors of clinical remission in IMN patients. Twenty-four non-remission patients were treated with CNI. The overall response rate was 66.7%(16/24) at 6 months and 77.3%(17/22) at 12 months. Conclusions The levels of baseline albumin, blood complement C4, and pathological stage were independent predictors of clinical remission in IMN patients treated with CTX plus glucocorticoids. The non-remission patients with CTX combined with glucocorticoid therapy can still achieve a higher response rate after adjusting for CNI.     

Cardiac Denervation for Arrhythmia Treatment with Transesophageal Ultrasonic Strategy in Canine Models

Stellate ganglion (SG) modification has been investigated for arrhythmia treatment. In this study, transesophageal SG imaging and intervention were explored using a homemade 30F integrated focused ultrasonic catheter in healthy mongrel canines in vivo. Anatomic details of SGs were ultrasonically imaged and evaluated. SG had a heterogeneous echoic structure and characteristic profiles sketched by hyper-echoic outlines in an ultrasonogram. Left SGs in the experimental group were successfully ablated through the esophagus under ultrasonic guidance provided by the catheter itself. Two weeks after the ablation, the QT and QTc of the experimental group decreased compared with those of the sham group and at baseline (both p values < 0.001). Histologic examination revealed that left SGs were destroyed. No major complications were observed. This approach may be further explored as a method for ganglia remodeling evaluation and as a strategy of ganglia modification for arrhythmia and for other diseases.
