Journal of Chinese Physician 2010;12(12):1632-1634
Objective To explore the effect of oxidative stress on intermittent hypoxia induced-hip-pocampal injury in rats. Methods 30 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were random divided into three groups ( 10 rats in each group), control group( CON group), intermittent group( IH group), and melatonin group( MEL group). The levels of MDA and SOD were detected by colorimetric method, and RT-PCR was used to examine the mRNA levels of the Cu/ZnSOD, GPx, CAT in hippocampal tissues. Results The level of MDA in IH group was ( 1. 68 ±0. 23) μmol/g, and it was obviously higher than that in control group (1.25±0.14)μmol/g and MEL group(1.35 ±0.18) μmoL/g ( P <0.05, P <0.01). In IH group, the activity of SOD and the mRNA levels of the Cu/ZnSOD,GPx and CAT were 43.01 ±4. 96 103NU/g, 0.25±0. 02,0. 34 ±0. 09,0. 38 ±0. 03 respectively, which were significantly lower than those in control group(61.12 ±5.68 103NU/g protein,0. 48 ±0.06,0. 55±0.07,0.57 ±0.04) and MEL group (55.98 ±4.65 103 NU/g,0.43 ± 0.08,0.54 ± 0.05,0.53 ± 0.07 ) ( P < 0.05, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion Intermittent hypoxia can induce hippocampal injury in rats by oxidative stress, and melatonin can inhibit intermittent hypoxia induced-oxidant stress, so it can protect intermittent hypoxia induced-hippocampal injury in rats.

Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(5):676-678
Objective · To test the effect of ego depletion and emotion regulation on students' health consumption choice, according to online social network. Methods · The undergraduate students in a university in East China were taken as the researchobject. Public health psychology experiments were designed, using Stroop priming the extent of ego depletion, and SSEIT measuring the extent of emotional regulation. Results · When participants experienced high level ego depletion, for those who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they were more inclined to select less healthy food(77% vs 18%, χ2=15.40, P=0.000). For those who possessed strong emotional regulation capability, there was no significant difference on food choice between those who experienced high level ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion (40% vs 27%, χ2=0.91, P=0.340).For participants who experienced high level ego depletion, compared to those who overcame ego depletion and those who experienced low level ego depletion, were moreinclined to select less healthy product (69% vs 23%, χ2=11.10, P=0.001), while there was no significant difference between those who experienced low level ego depletion and those who overcame ego depletion (32% vs 23%, χ2=0.51, P=0.470). Conclusion · When students experienced different level ego depletion, they chose different healthy consumption choice because of the different capability of emotional regulation. For students who possessed weak emotional regulation capability, they should be encouraged to choice healthy consumption, and interesting show should be organized to bring them positive emotion. They should also be encouraged to do long-term physical training to overcome the sensitivity tofatigue. Finally, They should be informed to realize the healthy consumption by active communication and interaction such as like, share and comment in social media.

Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(2):165-167
The erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (ECR1) activity and CR1 quantitative genotype distribution were studied and the mechanisms of decreased ECR1 activity in cerebral infarction revealed. By using red blood cell yeast rosette test ECR1 activities were measured and by using PCR-RFLP CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism detected in the patients with cerebral infarction and healthy controls. The results showed that the level of C3bRR was decreased and the level of CICRR increased in the patients with cerebral infarction as compared with healthy controls (both P<0.05). CR1 quantitative genotype distribution in the patients with cerebral infarction was differed significantly from that of healthy controls (P<0.05). It was concluded that the decrease of ECR1 activity in the patients with cerebral infarction was correlated with CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism.
