Objective To explore effects of non-nutritive sucking ( NNS) on various aspects of neonates.Methods 58 cases refusing oral feeding were selected from June 2012 to June 2013 in our hospital with no significant differences in weight, gastrointestinal function and sleep (p>0.05).The specimen was randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group was given with NNS.Weight gain, quiet time to fall asleep, sleep time and gastro-intestinal disorders were observed and recorded in both two groups.One month later, the data recorded from both two groups were processed and analyzed statistically.Results The weight gain in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p>0.05).The quiet time to fall asleep in the experimental group was shorter than that in the con-trol group (p>0.05).The sleep time in the experimental group was longer than that in the control group (p>0.05).The incidence of gastrointestinal disorders in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( p >0.05).Conclusion Non-nutritive sucking in neonates can accelerate weight gain, improve sleep quality and reduce the in-cidence of gastrointestinal disorders to promote the growth and development of newborns to some extent .

Objective To investigate the difference among neonatal rat models of hypoxia-ischemia induced white matter injury of brain by three different methods and to provide theory basis on choosing the proper animal model for deep study on white matter injury of premature infants.Methods Three different hypoxia-ischemia methods were applied to induce brain white matter injury model of Wistar rats of postnatal 3rd day which were left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes and for 4 hours respectively,and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes.Compared brain pathological results of rats in different groups,changes in white matter of brain by glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and myelin basic protein (MBP) immunostaining,and changes in time of opening eyes and eyes appearance.Results Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes resulted in sparse and vague periventricular white matter without necrotic lesions,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(5 021.63 ± 358.92) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(18 488.63 ± 1 822.62) OD] decrease were lowest (P ＜ 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time of the left eye.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 4 hours resulted in necrotic lesions of periventricular white matter,with the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 069.13 ± 458.61) OD] and MBP intensity [(15 003.38 ± 1 559.11) OD],and also the delay of opening time of the left eye.Bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes caused cystic necrosis of bilateral periventricular white matters,and the degree of GFAP intensity [(6 194.50 ±432.69) OD] increase and MBP intensity [(10 119.35 ± 735.16) OD] decrease of the left side were highest(P ＜ 0.000 1),as well as the delay of opening time and cataract in both eyes.Conclusion Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 30 minutes is more suitable for investigating mild brain white matter injury.Left carotid artery ligation followed by 6％ oxygen for 4 hours and bilateral carotid artery ligation followed by 8％ oxygen for 30 minutes are more proper for the investigation of severe periventricular leukemacia cases.

Objective:To study the influernce of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 on the chemosensitivity of SGC-7901 cells. Methods: SGC-7901 cells were cultivated under continuous darkness in vitro.The expression levels of the two main circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 at the different time were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR). Docetaxel was administered at the peak and nadir time point respectively. The inhibition of SGC-7901 cell proliferation was measured using a CCK-8 kit. Result:The expression of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 varied at different times, as shown by real-time PCR. The expression of circadian genes hClock and hBmal1 showed Phase oseillation. The maximum expression of hClock and hBmal1 mRNA was at 20:00. whereas their minimum expression was at 08:00. The inhibition ratio of docetaxel to SGC-7901 cells at the maximum expression of hClock and hBmal1 genes was lower than that at the minimum expression. Conclusion:Circadian Genes hClock and hBmal1 can reduce the drug sensitivity of SGC-7901 cell line to docetaxel in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the effect of captopril and isoflurane preconditioning on cell apoptosis during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rabbits.Methods Forty New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes,weighing 1.8-2.5 kg,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R,isoflurane preconditioning group (group I),captopril preconditioning group (group C) and captopril and isoflurane preconditioning group (group C + I).The animals were anesthetized with 3％ pentobarbital sodium 30 mg/kg.Myocardial ischemia was induced by occlusion of the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion.1.1％ isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min followed by 15 min washout before myocardial ischemia in group I.Captopril 25 mg/kg was given through a gastric tube into the stomach at 24 h before myocardial ischemia in group C.Captopril 25 mg/kg was given through a gastric tube into the stomach,24 h later 1.1％ isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min followed by 15 min washout,and then myocardial ischemia was performed in group C + I.The rabbits were sacrificed at the end of reperfusion and myocardial specimens were removed for microscopic examination and observation of ultrastructure,and for determination of the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins (by Western blot).The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry.Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the apoptosis rate was significantly increased,the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins was up-regulated,and Bel-2/Bax ratio was decreased in I/R,I,C and C + I groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with I/R,I and C groups,the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased,Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated,Bax protein expression was down-regulated,and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was increased (P ＜ 0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group C + I.Conclusion Regulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratio and inhibition of apoptosis in myocardial cells are involved in the mechanism by which isoflurane and captopril preconditioning reduces I/R injury in rabbits.

So far, an evaluation system for the patent value of traditional medicine is in absence. For this reason, an evaluation system had been established in this paper, by taking advantage of unique attributes of traditional medicine. This system consisted of 10 key indexes equipped with the algorithm for the calculation of original value and comparative value. The comparative value of patent was easier to show the value difference among patents. In consideration of strong correlation between the legal value, technical value, and economic value of the patent and be-tween evaluation indexes thereof, three kinds of value were combined together without discrimination for integral e-valuation. Besides, with inclusion of specific indexes in this field, the non-specific indexes related or indexes un-available were excluded. Because there is no personal rating involved, this evaluation system is appropriate for the automatic evaluation of patents of traditional medicine and other fields .
