Objective To investigate the changes and mechanism of learning and memory in rats by different doses of benzo (a) pyrene (B(a)P). Methods Forty weaned rats (28 days) were randomly divided into control group (NS), solvent group ( vegetable oil) and three B (a) P dosage groups (the doses were 5,10 and 20 mg / kg body weight respectively ). And all rats were administrated intraperitoneally every other day to one month. The capability of learning and memory in rats were measured by Morris water maze test, and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) and NMDAR2B content in hippocampus were tested by immunohistochemistry. Results In training of Morris water maze,the average escape latency was extended gradually with increasing dose, and there was a statistically significant difference between high-dose group((62. 78 ±47. 25 )s) and the control group((40.60±38.79)s)(P< 0.01). Compared with the control group(11.25 ±2.63), the number of crossplatform of high-dose group(4.33 ±2.08) was statistically reduced (P<0.05). B(a)P at 10 and 20 mg/kg decreased NMDAR2B and BDNF expression in hippocampus of rats in immunohistochemistry. The level of NMDAR2B was (162.23 ±6.56) in the high-dose group and (150.38 ± 15.34) in the control group(P<0.05);the expression level of BDNF was (163. 13 ± 8.09) in the high-dose group and (141.83 ± 13.37) in the control group(P< 0.05). Conclusion Subacute B(a)P exposure can reduce spatial learning and memory in weaning rats, it may be related to decreased levels of NMDAR2B and BDNF in hippocampus.

BACKGROUND:Bryan cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion have a dispute in the treatment of cervical spondylosis.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effects of Bryan cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion by meta-analysis, thereby providing clinical evidence for treatment strategy of cervical spondylosis.
METHODS:The authors searched Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, OVID, CBM, CNKI and also searched manual y seven relevant Chinese orthopedic journals for articles pertinent to clinical research of Bryan cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Extracted data included the range of motion of the cervical spine, visual analog scale score, neck disability index, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score. Meta-analysis and forest plots were conducted with RevMan4.2.2 Software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There are eight articles in the meta-analysis, including 883 patients (430 patients receiving Bryan cervical disc replacement, and 453 patients receiving anterior cervical discectomy and fusion). Meta-analysis did detect statistical y significant differences in the range of motion of the cervical spine at 3 months and 24 months postoperatively between the two groups, but did not detect statistical y significant differences in visual analog scale score, neck disability index, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score between the two groups. These findings indicate that Bryan cervical disc replacement is superior to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in the range of motion of the cervical spine. However, the current literature offers no evidence to support superiority of the Bryan cervical disc replacement over the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.

Objective To explore the effects of preoperative neoadjuvant endocrine therapy on expression and significance of ER, PR, C-erbB-2 in pestmenopause breast cancer patients over 60 years old. Methods 36 patients were treated with endrocrine therapy by oral tamoxifen for 60 ~ 90 days, and the expression of ER, PR and C-erbB-2 was examined before and after the endrocrine therapy. Results In 36 patients the negative expres-sion rate of ER, PR was 16.78% and 11.11% respectively before the endrocrine therapy, compared to 50% and 33.33% after the endrocrine therapy. There was significant difference(P<0.05). The expression of C-erbB-2 was 13.8% and 16.67% before and after the endrocrine therapy, and there was no significant difference between the two figures. Conclusions The neoadjuvant endocrine therapy by tamoxifen alone can down-regulate the ex-pression of ER, PR, and can inhibit tumor growth. Some patients may get partially relieved.

BACKGROUND:The main treatment of lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis is the surgery, in a broader attempt to decompression, reduction, fixation and fusion of the lesioned segments. The golden standard of the treatment is biological fusion, while internal fixation is a reliable assistance for fusion therapy. <br> OBJECTIVE:To discuss the clinical value and curative effect of intervertebral fusion cage combined with pedicle screw systems for the treatment of lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis. <br> METHODS:From March 2010 to March 2013, 21 cases of isthmic spondylolisthesis were treated with intervertebral fusion cage combined with pedicle screw systems, including 18 cases of spondylolisthesis of degree II and 3 cases of spondylolisthesis of degree III. Al patients were fol owed up regularly, taking JOA lumbago score and visual analog scale score as the objective evaluation criteria of pain in postoperative fol ow-ups. The curative effect was assessed by Macrab standard, and the functional recovery was evaluated based on indicators such as Prolo, and the spinal fusion rate was assessed according to Lenke criteria. Changes of slippage rate, slippage angle, sacral inclination angle and intervertebral space post height in preoperative and postoperative periods were evaluated by iconography data. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 21 patients with isthmic spondylolisthesis were fol owed up for 12-16 months. JOA lumbago score and vasual analog scale score of al patients were improved after treatment, and the difference was statistical y significant compared with before treatment (P=0.000). According to Macrab evaluation criteria, there were 17 excellent cases and 4 good cases. Each indicator evaluated by preoperative Prolo activities and symptom grading showed significant differences in preoperative and postoperative periods (P=0.003). Postoperative lumbar spondylolisthesis was basical y reset, the slippage angle was significantly reduced, the sacral inclination angle was increased, and the height of the intervertebral space was recovered basical y. Intervertebral fusion cage combined with pedicle screw systems was one of the effective strategies to treat lumbar isthmic spondylolisthesis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the misdiagnostic reason and treatment of the syndrom of splenic flexure of colon(SSFC). MethodsThe clonical data of 21 patients with SSFC admitted from May 1993 to May 2001 were retrospectively analysed. ResultsThese patients aged from 51 to 88 years old with a median age of 67.8years.Clinical manifestalion was repetitive stomach pain, abdominal distension, constipation, etc. Double contrast radiology of colon demonstrated that too high fixation site of colon of splenic flexure, volvulus of colon of splenic flexure, and displacement of colon usually occurred together with transverse or sigmoid colon redundant.All of them were cured by cololysis of colon of splenic flexure, redundant partial colectomy and managing other companying diseases.Postoperative pathological diagnoses were chronic colitis.Followed up was done for 6 months to 6 years, all of them released from primary symptoms. ConclusionsThe main misdiagnostic reason of SSFC is less understanding of SSFC and did not take double contrast radiology of colon. By way of cololysis of splenic flexure, redundant colon resection and managment other companying abdominal diseases, most patients with SSFC may expect satisfactory treatment effects.
