Objective To observe the pathomorphological changes and expressions of TNF-α, SOD1 and SOD2 in cardiac tissues of rats with abdominal aorta champing(AAC)and LPS attack.Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operated group (Group S),ischemia reperfusion with AAC group(Group I /R),intraperitoneal injection of endotoxin group(Group LPS)and AAC +LPS group(Group I /R +LPS).Animals were sacrificed after 20 minutes of AAC and 8 hours of reperfusion.Cardiac tissues were observed with HE staining for pathmmorphological changes,and detection of TNF-α,SOD1 and SOD2 expressions were tested by immunohistochemistry.Results The mortality rate of Group I /R +LPS was highest.HE staining of the cardiac tissues revealed that the pathological changes of myocardial tissue were not obvious in Group S;myocardial cells were disordered and slightly swollen and red blood cell and inflammatory cells were observed in the intramuscular space of the Group LPS;these injuries were more serious in the Group I /R;the injuries of cardiac tissues were most serious in Group I /R +LPS.The results of immunohistochemical staining revealed that TNF-αexpression level of cardiac tissue increased as followings:Group S,Group LPS,Group I /R and Group I /R +LPS.Significant differences were observed among groups,except for the difference between Group LPS and Group I /R.The expression level of SOD1 decreased as followings:Group S,Group LPS,Group I /R and Group I /R +LPS. Significant differences were observed among groups,except for the difference between Group I /R and Group I /R +LPS.The expression level of SOD2 decreased as followings:Group S,Group LPS,Group I /R +LPS and Group I /R.Significant differences were observed among groups,except for the differences between Group LPS and I /R and Group I /R +LPS.Conclusion The mortality in rats with sepsis after abdominal aorta clamping is high.Obvious myocardial morphological changes and injuries exist either in ischemia reperfusion or sepsis state.At the same time,the expression of TNF-αis up-regulated while SOD1 and SOD2 are down-regulated.

Objective To explore the magnetic resonance imging tracking of superparamagnetic iron oxid(SPIO) labeled embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs) transplantation into corpus striatum of the focal cerebral ischemia(FCI) rats and the effects of learning and memory abilities.Methods NSCs of embryonic rat were cultured in vitro and labeled with Fe2O3-mediated by poly-L lysine (PLL), with Prussian blue staining to evaluate the labeling rate and Trypan blue staining to observe cell viability of NSCs. The rats were randomly divided into groups A (normal control),B (normal labeled NSCs implanted),C (cerebral ischemia),D( labeled NSCs implanted),E (unlabeled NSCs implanted)and F (inactivated labeled NSCs implanted).The FCI models were made in groups C, D, E, F.The labeled NSCs or unlabeled NSCs or inactivated labeled NSCs were stereotaxically injected into the left corpus striatum of groups B,D,E,F respectively. The abilities of learning and memory were measured by the Y-type electronical maze in groups A, C, D, E after 3 d,7 d,2,3,4 weeks of transplantation respectively. MRI scanning was performed to monitor the NSCs in groups B, D, F at corresponding time. After MRI, the rats were killed and undergone Prussian blue staining of the brain histological section to observe the distribution of implanted NSCs.Results The labeling efficiency rate and cell viability of Fe2O3-PLL labeled NSCs were almost 100% and 95% respectively. Compared with group C, the abilities of learning and memory were significantly improved at each time point after transplantation in groups D, E (all P

Good sleep is essential for children′s physical and mental health, growth, and development.Adequate and high-quality sleep positively impacts children′s quality of life, memory, learning, attention, mood, and behavior.Children of different ages have different sleep needs.Children have various sleep problems in different cultures.Therefore, it is significant to guide children to get healthy sleep by popularizing the sleep problems of Chinese children of all ages and in all dimensions.Based on China′s social and cultural background, this paper summarizes the contents related to children′s sleep physiology, good sleep habits, common sleep problems, sleep apnea disorders, hypnagogic sleep, narcolepsy, insomnia, and other issues that interfere with children′s sleep.Chinese sleep experts summarize and interpret the 100 sleep health problems of children that medical workers and parents are most concerned about.To promote children′s sleep health and popularize solutions to sleep problems.
