Objective To explore the effect of Quercetin on the long-term memory and PARP-1/AIF signal path in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Fifty-six 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, HIBD group, low dose of Quercetin group (20 mg/kg), and high dose of Quercetin group (40 mg/kg), each of 14 rats. Except for sham-operation group, in the other groups HIBD model were made by right common carotid artery ligation and anoxiate. The Quercetin groups were injected with the corresponding doses of Quercetin immediately once a day continuously for 7 days after the model was made,. Sham-operation group and HIBD group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline at the same time. Neural function was evaluated by Hanging wire test and Vertical pole test at 21 days old. The capacity of learning and memory was detected by Morris water maze at 28 days old, and then rats were killed and brains were taken. HE was used to observe the pathological changes of hippocampus. Western blot were used to detect the expression of PARP-1 and AIF in hippocampus. Results Compared with sham-operation group, the neural function and learning and memory ability decreased significantly in HIBD group. Those ability in both low dose and high dose of Quercetin groups were remarkably increased in comparison with HIBD group, and there were statistic differences (P??0.05). Conclusion Quercetin could improve long-term learning memory in newborn rats with HIBD, and the mechanism may be down-regulation of PARP-1/AIF cell apoptosis signaling pathway, inhibition of neuronal apoptosis, and thus play a role in protection of brain.

Objective To explore the protective effects of Quercetin on hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Forty-eight 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, HIBD group and Que treatment group, 16 rats each. HIBD group and Que treatment group were treated by ligation of right common carotid artery to make anoxia and build HIBD model; sham-operation group had the separation of the right common carotid artery only. Que treatment group were injected intraperitoneally with quercetin (40 mg/kg) once a day for 7 days immediately after modeling while sham-operation group and HIBD group received equivalent normal saline at the same time. The rats in each group were scored of neurological function at 1 h after the last administration, and the ability of spatial learning-memory was tested by Morris water maze at the age of 28 days. After performing the test above, all rats were decapitated and the brains were taken. Pathological changes of hippocampus were observed by HE staining; the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth associated protein (GAP-43) in hippocampus CA1 area were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results There were significant differences in neurological deficit score and learning-memory ability among the three groups (P<0.01), and neurological deficit score was the highest and the learning-memory ability was the lowest in HIBD group. Pathological examination showed that the structure of hippocampal neurons was intact in sham-operation group. It was loose and disorder, and even loss of neurons in HIBD group. Compared with the HIBD group, the loose in the structure of hippocampal was lighter, and the number of neurons was increased in the Que treatment group. There was statistical difference in the positive expression of BDNF and GAP-43 in the hippocampal CA1 area among the three groups (P<0.01), with those in HIBD group being lower than in Que treatment group and sham-operation group and those in treatment group being lower than in sham-operation group (P<0.01). Conclusions Quercetin can enhance the expression of BDNF and GAP-43 in hippocampal CA1 region, promote nerve regeneration, improve the long-term learning-memory ability of HIBD neonatal rats, and protect the brain.

Objective To discuss differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC)postoperative lymph node metas-tasis and clinical use and the effect of 131 I treatment.Methods to185 patients with lymph node metastasis of DTC were selected by random sampling method.The standard 131 I treatment was administrated,ultrasound,CT and Tg chan-ges and imaging characteristics of 131 I treatment were evaluated the clinical curative effect was determined.Results Imaging changes:the whole group of patients,153 patients (82.7%)were effective.153 patients with effective treat-ment,105 cases examined LMDTC completely eliminate (56.8%),48 cases examination revealed narrowing (25.9%).Mere lymph node metastasis after treatment was better than that of patients with viscera metastasis,imaging examination results were statistically significant differences (χ2 =2.57,P =0.02).After treatment,imaging examina-tion result in patients with smaller lymph node was superior to that in the patients with relatively large diameter lymph nodes (P >0.05).Tg level changes:there was a significant reduction in the Tg 97 cases of 185 patients (51.1%), and general decline in 54 patients (29.2%).Tg improvement effect of patients with mere lymphatic metastasis after treatment was better than other viscera metastasis in patients with statistically significant differences (χ2 =3.41,P =0.01).Lymph node Tg improved after treatment in patients with small diameter,which was better than that with other viscera metastasis patients with statistically significant differences(χ2 =6.34,P =0.02).Conclusion Comprehensive curative effect of 131 I treatment of lymph node metastasis postoperatively in patients with DTC is distinct,and is worth popularizing in clinical use of DTC.

Radiation-induced organ fibrosis is a common complication of tumor radiotherapy and radiation accident, which poses a serious threat to patients′life.TGF-β, CTGF, PDGF-BB and NF-κB all play important roles in this pathological process, and drugs targeting these key molecules are also being developed, some of which have shown positive therapeutic effects.This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic progress involved in radiation-induced organ fibrosis, intended to provide a new clue to the complex process of radiation-induced organ fibrosis, and to provide a new strategy for treatment.

Objective To study the differences between diet induced obesity (DIO) and diet induced obesity resistance (DIO-R) during insulin resistance (IR) in rats. Method Male SD rats were fed by high-fat diet 1 (45 % fat kJ) after adaptation. At 3rd week, rats were divided into 3 groups according to their body weight: rats belonging to the middle 1/3 of their body weights were the control group, and was fed by control diet (10 % fat kJ). The heaviest 1/3 and the lightest 1/3 belong to DIO and DIO-R group, respectively, and were fed by high-fat diet 2 (60 % fat kJ). Five rats were selected randomly from each group and sacarified at 3rd, 6th, 8th, 10th and 11th week. The energy intake, body fat contents, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum lipid, serum insulin, insulin sensitive index(ISI)and leptin of rats were monitored dynamically. Results DIO rats were significantly different from DIO-R and control rats in energy intake, body fat content, FBG, lipid, serum insulin and leptin. Conclusion Fed by the same high-fat diet, DIO rats are more sensitive than DIO-R rats to become IR.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of electroacupuncture in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.Methods:Eighty patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were randomly divided into two groups with 40 patients in each group ( n=40). In the course of the treatment, 2 patients in each group dropped out, which means 38 patients in each group were included. All patients were instructed to actively control blood glucose The control group was given Mecobalamin tablets orally, while the treatment group was given electroacupuncture of Daling and Neiguan on the affected side based onthe control group for 6 weeks. The degree of pain was assessed by VAS, and the severity of clinical symptoms was assessed by the symptom scale of Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ). The sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV), the amplitude of sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and the distal motor latency (DML) were detected by EMG evoked potential instrument. The clinical efficacy was evaluated and adverse events were recorded. Results:The total effective rate was 81.6% (31/38) in the treatment group and 60.5% (23/38) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.094, P=0.024). After the treatment, the scores of VAS and BCTQ in the treatment group were lower than those of the control group ( t=2.639, 2.790, P=0.010, 0.007); DML (3.62 ± 0.19 ms vs. 4.00 ± 0.17 ms, t=68.891) in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01), while SCV (47.36 ± 0.18 m/s vs. 42.34 ± 0.14 m/s, t=97.163) and SNAP (14.74 ± 0.18 μV vs. 12.10 ± 0.16 μV, t=51.434) in the treatment group were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.01). During the treatment, no serious adverse events occurred in two groups. Conclusions:Electroacupuncture is safe and effective in the treatment of mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome with type 2 diabetes. It can reduce the degree of pain and improve the symptoms of wrist joint.

Objective To investigate the classification and treatment of displaced intra articular fractures of the calcaneus. Methods Twelve displaced intra articular fractures of the calcaneus in 8 patients were included in this study. Classification of calcaneus fractures was done according to Sanders' computed tomographic classification system. There were 2 cases of type Ⅱfractures, 4 type Ⅲfractures and 6 type Ⅳfractures. The open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and bone grafting were performed using a standard extended lateral approach, and the fractures were fixed with small fragment AO bridge plates with autogenous bone grafting. Average follow up was 28.6 months (range 24 to 33 months). The Creighton Nebraska Health Foundation Assessment Score System for fractures of the calcaneus was used for evaluation. Results The average score was 89.7 for type Ⅱ, 86.5 for type Ⅲ, and 73.5 for type Ⅳfractures. There was statistically significant superiority in treatment by ORIF compared with nonoperative methods (P0.05); whereas in type Ⅳfractures, the differences were significant between with and without bone grafting (P
