Objective To investigate the effects of the exercise training on the cognitive function ,choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity and acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR/SP) vascular de-mentia model .Methods 30 male SHR/SP rats were randomly divided into sham operation group ,model group and exercise group (n=10) .The VD model was established by the fractional ligation of bilateral carotid artery (2-VO) .The sham operation group and the model group were given the normal feeding without intervention after operation ;the exercise group adopted the treadmill exer-cise(DSPT-1) for 8 weeks .After the exercise ,the Morris maze test was conducted for evaluating the cognitive function in each group .The rats were finally killed for detecting the ChAT activity and AchE activity of hippocampus .Results In the positioning navigation training ,the latency period of the sham operation group was significantly short than that of the exercise group and the model group ,but the latency period of the exercise group was obviously short than that of rats in the model group (P<0 .05);in the spatial exploration test ,the rats in the sham operation group had more frequency of crossing platform than the other two groups ,the exercise group had more frequency of crossing platform in platform quadrant than the model group (P<0 .05);the exercise training could increase the ChAT activity and lower the AchE activity of hippocampus .Conclusion The exercise training can improve the function of hippocampal cholinergic system in SHR/SP and then increase the cognitive ability .

Objective To study the effect of Tongxinluo on the plasma C-reactive protein(CRP)and endothelin-1(ET-1)in acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients.Methods 100 patients with ACS were randomly divided into conventional therapy group and treatment group(conventional therapy+Tongxinluo gelatin capsule).The changes of CRP and ET-1 in the first day,7th and 14th day were observed.Results In the treatment group,CRP and ET-1 were significantly decreased in the 7th and 14th day(P<0.05,P<0.01),and there was significant decrease only in the 14th day(P<0.05)in the conventional therapy group.CRP and ET-1 levels in the treatment group were significantly different as compared with conventional thereapy group(P<0.01).Conclusion Tongxinluo capsule may protect blood vessel endothelium through inhibiting CRP and ET-1 to decrease the inflammatory response of endangium.

Objective To compare the difference and rationalities between Harmm and Zhou' s formulae for expected acid-base compensation in acid-base imbalance. Methods 745 cases of arterial blood gas analysis results of acid-base disorder were evaluated respectively by Hamm and Zhou' s formulae, and the concordance was judged. Results For metabolic acidosis ( 108 cases), the concordance rate was 70. 4% between Hamm and Zhou's( Kappa value =0. 41 ,P <0. 01 ) ;for metabolic alkalosis ( 132 cases) ,the concordance rate was 59. 1% ( Kappa value =0. 18 ,P <0. 05) ;for acute respiratory acidosis(81 cases) ,the concordance rate was 65.43% ( Kappa value = 0. 31, P < 0. 01 ) ;for acute respiratory alkalosis ( 168 cases), the concordance rate was 54. 8% ( Kappa value = 0. 24%, P < 0. 01 ); for chronic respiratory acidosis ( 119 cases ), the concordance rate was 67.2% ( Kappa value = 0. 41, P < 0. 01 ) ;for chronic respiratory alkalosis( 137 cases), the concordance rate was 66. 6% ( Kappa value = 0. 43, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The difference between Hamm and Zhou' s formulae for expected acid-base compensation in acid-base imbalance was obvious. The Zhou' s expected max compensation coefficient were slightly higher than the primary adopted compensation coefficient.

Objective To explore the imaging characteristics of neurologic complications associated with the enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) epidemic by analyzing 25 cases and reviewing the literature. Methods Twenty-five cases of hand-foot-mouth disease with neurologic complications during the recent EV71 outbreaks of Hainan province were studied for the clinical features and imaging findings, and literature were reviewed.Results In 5 cases, acute flaccid paralysis associated with EV71-infected hand-foot-mouth disease was related to the linear high signal in the spinal cord on sagittal images. Two cases showed symmetrical, welldefined hyperintense lesions in the spinal cord on T2WI transverse. Strong enhancement of the ventral horns and root was seen on the contrast-enhanced axial T1WI. In brainstem encephalitis, all lesions presented with significant hyperintensity on T2WI and hypointense on T1WI in the posterior portions of the medulla oblongata, midbrain, and pons. The manifestations of aseptic meningitis (AM) on MRI have no characteristics, but subdural effusion, meningeal enhancement and hydrocephalus can be the indirect signs of AM. Conclusions MRI is an effective method to investigate neurologic complications associated with the EV71 epidemic. Posterior portions of the medulla oblongata and pons, bilateral ventral horns of spinal involvement are characteristic findings of enteroviral encephalomyelitis.

Objective To investigate the characters of morphology,immunology and cytogenetics of adult acute leukemia (AL) in different ages. Methods 172 cases of newly diagnosed adult AL were divided into two groups:the non-aged group (age<60 years) and the aged group ( age≥60 years). Morphology,immunology and cytogenetics between the two groups were compared. Results The incidence of M3 in aged AL was significantly lower than that in non-aged AL[6.0 %(3/50) vs 18.9 %(23/122),P <0.05]. The incidence of hypo-or extremely hypo-cellular AL in aged AL was significantly higher than that in non-aged AL[14.0 %(7/50) vs 4.1 %(5/122),P <0.05],but the incidence of hyper-or extremely hyper-cellular was significantly lower than that in non-aged AL[52.0 %(26/50) vs 73.8 %(90/122),P <0.05]. Among aged acute myeloid leukemia (AML),the incidence of lymphoid antigen positive AML (Ly+AML) was significantly higher than that in non-aged AML[63.4 %(26/41) vs 41.3 %(38/92),P <0.05]. The incidence of adverse karyotypes in aged AML was significantly higher than that in non-aged AML[33.3 %(11/33) vs 14.1 %(10/71),P <0.05].Conclusion Age is an important prognostic factor in AL. Generally,aged AL has poorer prognosis than nonaged AL.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of the sural nerve and saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps in repairing pediatric ankle or foot soft tissue defect.Methods From June 2009 to January 2013,19 cases of heel soft tissue defect were collected in hospitalized children,in which 10 cases of ankle or foot soft tissue defects were repaired with reversed sural nerve nutrient vascular island flaps and 9 cases with ankle or foot soft tissue defects with reversed saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps.The skin defect areas were from 3 cm× 5 cm~5 cm× 13 cm.Results All neurocutaneous vascular flaps survived after transplantation,the wound of donor area and recipient area healed,and texture and color of flap were good.The postoperative follow-up for 3-30 months (an average 14 months) showed no secondary infection,sensory recovery for S3-S4,texture and color were similar to normal skin,and the limb shape and function were satisfactory.Conclusions The sural nerve and saphenous nerve nutrient vascular island flaps are reliable of blood supply,which do not damage the main vessel,and could reconstruct feeling.Such flaps are ideal to repair foot or ankle soft tissue defects.

Objective To explore the abnormally functional brain region in resting state in first-episode major depression disorder patients with function magnetic resonance imaging.Methods 51 patients diagnosed with first-episode major depression disorder according to DSM-Ⅳ and 50 gender-,age-,and education-matched healthy controls completed resting state fMRI scan.The severity of depression,and unpredicted homodynamic responses across the whole brain were analyzed using Hamilton depression scale,regional homogeneity and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation,respectively.Results Compared with control group,the right medial frontal gyms (BA6,MNI:3,-3,63,K=34) and left medial frontal gyrus(BA9,MNI:-9,36,30,K=10) (P<0.001,uncorrected) in the case group showed higher regional homogeneity,with statistical significance.Compared with control group,right medial frontal gyrus (BA6,MNI:3,-3,63,K =35) and right posterior cingulated gyrus (BA31,MNI:3,-36,36,K =11) (P< 0.001,uncorrected)in the case group showed higher amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation,with statistical significance.Conclusion First-episode major depression disorder patients in resting state had several abnormally functional brain regions,which might be related to the pathological mechanism of depression disorder.
