Objective To explore the neural mechanism underlying the craving of heroin addicts induced by picture-cue and the correlation between the brain activation degree in nucleus accumbens (NAc)/the ventral striatum and the scores of patients' self-report craving. Methods Twelve active heroin addicts and 12 matched healthy controls underwent fMRI scan while viewing drug-related pictures and neutral pictures presented in a block design paradigm after anatomical scanning in GE 3.0 T scanner. The fMRI data were analyzed with SPM 5. The change of craving scores was tested by Wilcoxon signed rank test. The Pearson correlation between the activation of NAc/the ventral striatum and the heroin craving score was tested by SPSS 13.0. Results The craving scores of heroin addicts ranged from 0 to 3.70(median 0.15) before exposed to drug cue and 0 to 5.10(median 3.25) after viewing drug-related pictures and showed statistical significance(Z = -2.666, P < 0.05). There were 16 activated brain areas when heroin dependent patients exposed to visual drug-related cue vs. neutral visual stimuli. The activation brain regions belonged to two parts, one was limbic system (amygdale, hippocampus, putamen, anterior cingulate cortex and caudate), another was brain cortex (middle frontal cortex, inferior frontal cortex, precentral gyrus, middle temporal cortex, inferior temporal cortex, fusiform gyrus, precuneus and middle occipital gyrus). The MR signal activation magnitude of heroin addicts ranged from 0.19 to 3.50. The result displayed a significant positive correlation between the cue-induced fMRI activation in NAc/the ventral striatum and heroin craving severity (r=0.829, P < 0.05). Conclusion Heroin shared the same neural circuitry in part with other drugs of abuse for cue-induced craving, including brain reward circuitry, visualspatial attention circuit and working memory region. In addition, the dysfunction of NAc/the ventral striatum may attribute to heroin-related cue induced craving.

Objective: To detect the damage of excessive iodine on the activities and mRNA of cathepsin B and D and observe the effects of selenium intervention. Method: Thyroid follicular epithelial cell line FRTL was cultured in Kaighn’s modified Ham’s F-12 medium. ① The cells were divided into 8 groups for detection of activities of cathepsin B and D (CB and CD). The medium of NI group did not contain selenium or iodine, while EI group contained 50 mmol/L KI, and IS group contained 50mmol/L KI and different dosages of 0.1,0.2,0.5,1.0,2.0 and 5.0 ?mol/L selenium (sodium selenite). ②The mRNA levels of cathepsin B and D were detected by real-time PCR. The medium of NI group and EI group was same as above, but IS group only contained 0.1?mol/L selenium besides 50mmol/L KI. Results: The activities of CB decreased in EI group (50mmol/L KI treated 12 h), while CD decreased after 24 h and both activities were improved in IS groups with 0.1~0.5?mol/L selenium. The mRNA levels of CB and CD in EI group decreased, while in IS group were improved. Conclusion: Excessive iodine resulted in goiter through decreased levels of activities and mRNA of CB and CD. The intervention of selenium on goiter mayinduce its amelioration effect on decrease of CB and CD activities and the optimal dosage ranges from 0.1?mol/L to 0.5?mol/L.

NAS preparation, a kind of Chinese herbal medicine found by the Yunnan Eco-agricultural Research Institute, has potential antiviral activity. In this paper, the inhibiting effect of NAS preparation on H9N2 subtype Avian influenza virus (AIV) was investigated in vivo. Chickens infected with H9N2 virus were treated with NAS preparation for 4 days. The virus was then detected by hemoagglutination (HA) test and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that no H9N2 virus could be detected at the 7th day when the chickens were treated with 0.2g/kg/d or 0.1g/kg/d of NAS preparation. However the virus could be detected in other chickens without NAS preparation treatment. This result suggested that NAS preparation may be a potential drug candidate to control infection of H9N2 subtype AIV in chickens.
