Objective To investigate whether there is correlation exists in the effection of chronic unpredictable stress on active avoidance behavior and electroencephalogram ( EEG) of rat. Methods Twenty male SD rats (weight~200 g) were randomly divided into control group( n= 10) and model group( n- 10). Rats in model group were subjected to chronic unpredictable stress . Active avoidance response were observed with GeminiTM avoid system and EEG power spectrum was evaluated with Powerlab system. Results The failure rate in active avoidance test was correlation with delta wave power in EEG. Compared with control group, rats in model group had reduced failure rate in active avoidance task(42 ±36)% vs (82 ±30)% , P<0.05). The EEG power spectrum of model group rats increased in delta band((47.09 ±22.86)μV2 vs (22. 55 ± 11. 57) μV2, P<0. 05), which had the significant difference between the two group rats. The failure rate of active avoidance task in model group rats was positive correlation with EEG power spectrum of delta wave (r = 0. 717, P < 0. 05) . Conclusion Chronic unpredictable stress facilitated active avoid behavior and changed spontaneous EEG, which suggested chronic unpredictable stress actived the neurotransmitter network system involved with active avoidance task in central nervous system. Brain cognitive function correlated positively with brain electrophysiology activity measured in chronic unpredictable stress induced rat model.

Objective To assess the histological characteristics of cervical cancer using intravoxel incoherent motion magnetic resonance imaging ( IVIMMRI) and to investigate the performance of IVIMMRI in evaluation of the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of intermediate/advanced cervical cancer. Methods Pelvic MRI scans, containing T2WI, IVIM (14 b values, b=0?1 000 s/mm2), and contrast?enhanced T1 scans were performed in 23 patients pathologically diagnosed with intermediate/advanced cervical cancer ( stage ≥Ⅱb ) before chemoradiotherapy, after two and four weeks of treatment, and at the end of treatment. The IVIMMRI data were processed with the bi?exponential model to generate three parameters, containing pure diffusion coefficient ( D ) , pseudodiffusion coefficient ( D?) , and perfusion fraction ( f ) . Apparent diffusion coefficient ( ADC ) was obtained using the mono?exponential model. The IVIMMRI parameters were measured at each time point and their dynamics and correlation were analyzed. Results The ADC, D, and f values were significantly higher after complete treatment ( 0?96 × 10-3 vs. 1?77 × 10-3 mm2/s, P=0?000;0?76 × 10-3 vs. 1.34± 0?12 × 10-3 mm2/s, P=0?000;0?14% vs. 0?24%, P=0?012). The above three values significantly increased after two weeks of treatment (all P=0?000) and kept increasing until the end of the treatment. In contrast, the D? value was reduced from the second week to the end of the treatment. Conclusions IVIMMRI can monitor the dynamic functional changes and early tumor responses during chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer, which holds promise for clinical application.
