Objective To investigate the presentation and radiologic findings of acute marchiafava‐bignami disease(MBD) . Methods Three cases of acute MBD who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed ,including the clinical symptoms ,laboratory tests ,imaging examination(such as cranial CT ,magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) ,prognosis .Results Three cases were acute onset .The symptoms may be non‐specific ,such as consciousness disorder ,psychosis ,seizures ,delirium tremor and high fever .The imaging changes in the genu and splenium of corpus callosum could be found ,even in the bihemispheric white matter of all cases .CT revealed low‐density areas ,meanwhile MRI showed iso‐or hypo‐intensity on T1WI and ADC ,hyper‐in‐tensity on T2WI and fluid attenuated inversion recovery and restricted diffusion weighted imaging .The lesions involved in bihemi‐spheric brachium pontis in one case and in the body of corpus callosum in another case .Conclusion Acute MBD may present with various clinical forms ,but have characteristic imaging findings .

In the 1960s, modern science began involving the essence of heat syndrome, but there have still no in-depth systematic studies on pathological mechanisms of heat syndrome and action mechanisms of cold and cool herbs. In this study, the animal model with heat syndrome was set up by feeding herbs with hot property, and then cold and cool herbs was applied in the experimental therapy. The two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry technologies were adopted to compare the liver mitochondria proteome of the rats of the heat syndrome model and the ones treated with cold and cool herbs, so as to discover specificity-related proteins after heat syndrome and treatment with cold and cool herbs.

Objective To investigate the influence of primary cultured neonatal rat hippocampal neurons caused by human cytomegalovirus (HCMV AD169) infection on intracellular calcium and its mechanism.Methods Twenty SPF SD rats born within 24 hours(10 cases of male and 10 cases of female) were assigned to establish the primary rat hippocampal neuronal monolayer cells; After cultured 8 days in vitro,the eligible cells were randomly divided into HCMV infection group,HCMV + MK-801 group,MK-801 group and control group,with 10 wells in each group.The fluorescence intensity values of the intracellular free calcium were detected after 24 hours of treatment with Fluo-3AM fluorescence staining.Results Inoculation of HCMV neurons after 24 h turned to round and swollen gradually,and 4days later,most of the cells disappeared; by immunohistochemistry in cultures of hippocampal neurons in HCMV,visible early proteins,brownish yellow granules,hematoxylin were found after being stained with brown pigment.The fluorescence intensity values of neuronal intracellular calcium (215.5 ± 14.9) in HCMV group was higher than that of control group (116.4 ± 5.9) (t =15.2,P < 0.01),whilerise,that in MK-801 group (88.1 ± 4.5) was significantly lower than that of control group,with decreased rate of (24.0 ± 6.7) % (t =-9.3,P < 0.01).The fluorescence intensity values of neuronal intracellular calcium in HCMV + MK-801 group (135.5 ± 8.6) was significantly decreased compared with that of HCMV group (215.5 ± 14.9),with decreased rate of (37.0 ± 3.4) % (t =11.3,P < 0.01).Conclusions Intracellular calcium overload of cultured rat hippocampal neurons in vitro with HCMV AD16 strains infection can be detected.One of its main mechanisms is the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor channel-mediated calcium influx.

HPLC fingerprint of Congrong Zonggan capsule was established in order to provide basis for quality evaluation. With acteoside as the reference, HPLC was adopted for fingerprint analysis on Congrong Zonggan capsule. The chromatographic conditions wereas follows. Waters C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 μm) was used, with methylalcohol-0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase for gradient elution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detection wavelength was 330 nm, and the column temperature was 30 °C. This method was highly accurate and reproducible. All of the 13 components in tested samples reached the baseline resolved peak, and 15 batches of finished products showed the similarity of above 0.95. The method was accurate and feasible and could be used as a simple and effective method to evaluate the quality of the traditional Chinese medicines.

Objective To establish and evaluate a reliable and highly reproducible neonatal rat model of hyper-bilirubinemia and to provide an experimental basis for research of kernicterus and related mechanism of neuroinjury.Meth-ods Sixty 7-day old SD rats (28 male and 32 female) were used in this study.Three doses of phenylhydrazine hydrochlo-ride (25, 50, and 75 mg/kg) were intraperitoneally injected respectively to the neonatal rats to establish models of hyper-bilirubinemia induced by hemolysis.The control group was set up at the same time.48 hours after the experimental treat-ment, the bilirubin in blood and brain tissue, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) of brain tissue, and hemoglobin were detec-ted to evaluate the models.Results Compared with the control group, the bilirubin in the blood and brain tissue and the brain tissue NSE in the three experimental groups were significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), while hemoglobin content was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05).The bilirubin of blood and brain tis-sue and brain tissue NSE in the 50 mg/kg and 75 mg/kg dose phenylhydrazine hydrochloride groups were significantly high-er than that of the 25 mg/kg dose group ( P<0.05) , while hemoglobin content was significantly lower than that of the 25 mg/kg dose group ( P<0.05 ) .There were no significant differences between the 50 mg and 75 mg dose groups ( P>0.05).Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride can be used to produce neonatal rat mod-els of hyperbilirubinemia, mimicking the clinical features of this disease, and 50 mg/kg of phenylhydrazine hydrochloride is the best concentration.It is an ideal method to establish newborn rat models of hyperbilirubinemia.
