Objective To investigate the possible pathogenesis of the cognitive function in unilateral frontal bottom laceration by follow-up study in patients after one month of the onset. Methods MMSE, Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) scales were used to evaluate neurocognitie function in 42 patients after one month of onset of unilateral frontal bottom laceration and 45 normal controls. The wave amplitude and the latency of the endogenous composition N2, P3 of P300 were measured at the cognitive potential instrument. Level of AChE was determined by ELISA and active AChE was analyzed by the ration analyses. Stepwise multivariate regression analyzed the correlation of the overall cognitive function and the lever and active of AChE. Results The cognitive test scores in patients were significantly worse than those in normal controls. The ability of recite sentences, fluency of words, reading, understanding language,cognitive transfering decreases in the left frontal bottom laceration patients (Group A, 23 cases), while the ability of attention, action, organization, graphics depicting, abstract epitoming, logical thinking were all seriously impaired in the patients with right frontal bottom laceration (Group B, 19 cases). The latency of the endogenous composition N2, P3 in patients ( Group A: (322. 4 ± 17.0), (410. 1 ± 19.9) ms; Group B:( 308.4 ± 15.6), (385.5 ± 17.4) ms) is more lengthen ( F = 4. 084, P = 0. 018; F = 3.467, P = 0. 038 )than the normal controls ( (268.6 ± 14. 7 ), ( 369. 2 ± 15. 4 ) ms) and the wave amplitude is lower ( F =2. 986 ,P =0. 047 ;F =3. 313 ,P =0. 041 ). The latency of N2 ,P3 in Group A of is more lengthen than Group B, while the wave amplitude is higher. The difference of the active of AChE in patients and control groups had no statistical significance, however, the level of AChE in two groups had statistical significance. The comparison of the active and the total AChE in patients has also not statistical significance. The correlation of the overall cognitive function has the linear regression with the parts of the brain and the level of AChE ( rY1.2 = 0. 584, P = 0. 039; rY2.1 = 0. 726, P = 0. 017 ). The standardized regression coefficients showed the level of AChE has the biggest influence to the overall cognitive function ( |Beta| =0. 3601, rY2.1 =0. 726).Conclusions AChE may be one of the important factors in the cognitive function after frontal bottom laceration. The specific damages of cognitive function in unilateral frontal bottom laceration patients closely relate with the lesion locations in the injured frontal bottom laceration.

AIM: To investigate the effects of PAR-2 agonist peptide on the proliferation and cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca~(2+)]_c) in human hepatoma cells HepG2. METHODS: Human hepatoma cell line HepG2 was cultured. The cells were treated with PAR-2 agonist peptide SLIGKV-NH_2 and the reverse PAR-2 agonist peptide VKGILS-NH_2, respectively. The [Ca~(2+)]_c of hepatoma cells were measured by microfluorimetric techniques based on calcium indicator fura-2/AM. The influences on proliferation of hepatoma cells were determined by MTT method. The changes of cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry, and the changes of cyclin D1 mRNA expression were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: After treated with 50 μmol/L SLIGKV-NH_2, a rapid rise of [Ca~(2+)]_c in HepG2 cells was induced (P<0.01), percent S phase, G_2/M phase and proliferation index (PI) of HepG2 cells were elevated (P<0.01), and cyclin D1 mRNA expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.01). The proliferation rates of HepG2 cells treated with 1-50 μmol/L SLIGKV-NH_2 were significantly increased, and the effect was in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01 or P<0.05). No statistical significance of the difference between VKGILS-NH_2 and control group was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: PAR-2 agonist peptide induces the rise of [Ca~(2+)]_c in HepG2 cells, upregulates the expression of cyclin D1 mRNA, accelerates the progress of cell cycle, promotes the synthesis of DNA and the proliferation of hepatoma cells via activating PAR-2 in vitro.

Objective To investigate the safety of autologous blood component transfusion during cesarean section in patients with Rh (D)-negative blood group.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of Rh (D)-negative blood group, aged 20-35 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, undergoing elective cesarean section, were enrolled in this study.After lactated Ringer' s solution 7 ml/kg was infused, blood was obtained from radial artery at a rate of 60-80ml/min, and blood volume was maintained by simultaneous infusion of 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 at the same rate. The collected blood was subjected to two cycles of autologous blood component separation. Blood collecting during each cycle was stopped 15 s after red blood cells were separated. The autologous blood was infused when the blood loss≥20% of blood volume. The autologous blood was infused after suture of the uterus when the blood loss < 20% of blood volume. The parameters of maternal vital signs and fetal heart rate were monitored. Hypotension and tachycardia were recorded during autologous blood collecting. SpO2 was monitored routinely. Venous blood samples were taken before blood collecting (baseline), at the end of blood collecting, before autologous blood transfusion, 24 h after operation for determination of Hb, Hct, Plt, PT, APTT, INR and Fib. Umbilical arterial blood samples were obtained after delivery for blood gas analysis. Apgar score was recorded at 1 and 5 min after birth. Blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion were also recorded. Results No hypotension and tachycardia occurred during the process of blood collecting and the fetal heart rate was within the normal range. Compared with the baseline value, there were no significant differences in SpO2 , Hb, Hct, Plt, PT, APTT, INR and FIB value at the other time points. The pH value and concentrations of base excess and lactate were within the normal range.The Apgar score was (9.0 ±0.8) and (9.2 ± 0.8) at 1 and 5 min after birth respectively. The blood loss during operation was (405 ± 28) ml and no patients received homologous blood transfusion. Conclusion The safety of autologous blood component transfusion is good during cesarean section in Rh (D)-negative blood group patients.

To explore the effect of growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) on myocardial cell apoptosis in heart failure (HF) rats. Methods: Rat's HF model was established by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery induced ischemia. 40 male SD rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: Normal control group, Sham operation group, HF group and GHRP treated HF group. n=10 in each group and the rats were fed for 4 weeks after the operation. Cardiac function was examined and myocardial cell morphology was observed; protein expressions of Smac/DIABL0 and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blot analysis; cell apoptosis was evaluated by FCM technique. The differences for above parameters were compared among groups to explore the effect of GHRP on myocardial cell apoptosis in HF rats. Results: Compared with HF group, GHRP treated HF group showed the less heart dilation, higher LVEF, lighter pathological changes in myocardial cells and decreased protein expression of Smac/DIABL0, all P<0.05. Bcl-2 level was lower in HF group than the other 3 groups, P<0.05. Compare with Normal control group, GHRP treated HF group had elevated Bcl-2 level, all P<0.05. Myocardial cell apoptosis index was different between HF group and GHRP treated HF group, P<0.05. Conclusion: The effect of GHRP on anti-HF should be via inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis; the mechanism may partly be through promoting Bcl-2 protein expression and depressing Smac/DIABLO mediated mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.
