Objective To study the efficacy as well as side effects of the Nimotop in the treatment of benign memory disorders with oral tab. Method 38 patients with benign memory disorders as treatment group, taking Nimotop oral tab 30mg, Tid for 6 weeks and anathr 34patients with benign memory disorders taking Pyrrolidone Acetamide oral tab 0. 8, Tid as control group. Result The total efficiency were 73.6% in treatment group, while 47% in control group. Although some improvement in the memory scale and memory quotient were found in both groups, but the treatment group is obviously superior to control group ( P ＜ 0. 05) . Conclusion Nimotop has positive effect on the treatment of benign memory disorders.

This study was aimed to explore the tic disorders ( TD ) pathogenesis induced by chronic rhinitis . A total of 400 TD children were all investigated with self-made TD general questionnaire , Yale Global Tic Severity Scale ( YGTSS ) , TD diagnostic criteria by DSM-IV , chronic rhinitis diagnostic criteria by Zhu-Fu-Tang Textbook of Pediatrics ( 7th edition ) . A total of 258 TD children accompanied with chronic rhinitis were screened . Levels of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets , immunoglobulins , IL-6 , TNF-α and other related immunological indexes were detected to analyze pathogenesis. The results showed that the nose movement symptom scores of TD children with rhinitis were higher than the score of TD children without rhinitis . The score of arm-lifting and hand movement in TD children with rhinitis was lower than the score in the TD children without rhinitis . And the YGTSS score of TD children with rhinitis was higher than TD children without rhinitis. Compared with TD children without rhinitis, the level of peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets in TD children with rhinitis was obviously reduced ( P < 0 . 05 ) . Compared with TD children without rhinitis , the level of immunoglobulins in TD children with rhinitis was slightly reduced . The level of IL-6 in TD children with rhinitis tended to increase , but the level of TNF-α tended to reduce . It was concluded that chronic rhinitis is one of the factors to induce TD .

Objective To investigate the effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME on two tone fear extinction design in rats.Methods In AAA design,the rats received fear conditioning,extinction training and extinction test in the same context.In AAB design,the rats received fear conditioning and extinction training in context A,extinction test in context B.In each task,40 male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 per group),and L-NAME(10,20 and 40 mg/kg) or saline was injected intraperitoneally (i.p) 30 min prior to extinction training.Percent freezing was used as an index for fear memory during extinction test phases.Further experiments were used to test state-dependency effects or nonspecific changes of locomotor activity that followed L-NAME injection.Results In AAA design,percent freezing was (27.42 ± 6.52) ％ in saline group,and (30.83 ±7.15) ％,(32.49 ± 8.55) ％,(38.94 ± 11.48) ％ in 10,20,40 mg/kg L-NAME group respectively.There was no significant difference in the level of percent freezing among the four groups (P＞0.05).In AAB design,percent freezing was (30.32 ± 6.15) ％ in saline group,and (32.83 ± 6.64) ％,(39.49 ± 8.74) ％,(49.94 ± 10.83) ％in 10,20,40 mg/kg L-NAME group respectively.Compared with saline,only rats with L-NAME 40 mg/kg showed more levels of freezing (P ＜0.01).In state-dependency effects test,compared with Sal-Sal group ((26.73 ±5.62) ％) which received both saline injections 30 min before extinction training and extinction test,respectively,both NAME-Sal group((48.44 ± 10.46) ％) and NAME-NAME group((61.25 ± 13.24) ％) showed more levels of freezing (P＜0.01,respectively).Conclusion These results show that L-NAME produces a task-dependent impairment of fear extinction,and implies that nitric oxide signaling is involved in memory process of certain extinction tasks.

P2X7 receptors,belonging to purinergic P2 receptor family,are ATP-gated cation channels,which can choose the bivalent cations freely.P2X7 receptors join in cell signal conduction and the excretion of the cytokines and other physical functions.In recent years,researchers have discovered P2X7 receptors mediate the cells to live and grow by increasing oxidation and phosphorylation and intracellular ATP reserve.In breast cancer,the P2X7 receptors express abnormally,and can activate the MAPK lied in cytoplasm.The phosphorylated MAPK enter the nucleus and activates a series of protein kinases,and then affects the genesis and development of breast cancer.

Objective To explore the cognition processes of language in stroke patients by characterizing the differences between the event-related potentials (ERPs) N400 evoked bypicture-word andsentence-wordparadigms.Methods Twenty patients with a single brain lesion resulting from a first episode of stroke were tested along with 20 normal controls.Their N400 ERPs were tested using pictures and sentences as activating stimuli and phrases composed of nouns and verbs as the target stimuli.The N400 potentials were recorded from electrodes located at Fz,Pz,T3 and T4 positions of the International 10-20 system.The N400 latencies and amplitudes and the behavioral responses of the experimental and control groups were compared.Results The latencies were longer and the amplitudes were lower in response to sentence activation than to picture activation.The differences in terms of amplitude were the greatest with N400 recorded from Pz.The responses to the target stimuli were not significantly different with regard to the types of stimuli and recording location.The average response time was longer and the error rate was higher in response to sentence activation than to picture activation.Conclusion Multiple accesses,activating stimuli and integrating processes are involved in language cognition.The brain is more sensitive and accurate in response to picture stimuli in language cognition.The response to sentence stimuli is slower,and the error rate is higher.This suggests that it is better to usc varied prime stimuli in teaching children languages.

Objective　To study the mRNA expression of MCT1 and MCT2 genes in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and paracarcinoma liver tissue (PCLT). Methods　The semi-quantitative analysis of MCT1 and MCT2 genes mRNA expression in human HCC and PCLT was conducted by RT-PCR method and electrophoresis band opacity density (OD) comparison analysis method in 25 patients with HCC. Results　The mRNA expression of MCT1 was significantly higher than MCT2 in HCC and PCLT, in HCC the mRNA expression of MCT1 and MCT2 genes were significant higher than that in PCLT. Conclusions　The high expression of mRNA of MCT1 and MCT2 genes in HCC indicates that these genes may take a significant role on lactate and other monocarboxylate transmembrane transportation and on pH regulation in tumor cells.

Objective To analyze the clinical,demographic and pathologic features of symmetric acral keratoderma.Methods Totally,62 outpatients with symmetric acral keratoderma were collected at the Dongguan Hospital for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control from May 2003 to June 2012.Data on these patients,including demographic information,family history,physical and pathological examination findings,were reviewed.Results There were 55 males and 7 females among these patients.The age at onset and disease duration varied from 4 to 53 years (average: 24.02 years) and from 15 days to 10 years (average: 26.65 years) respectively.Characterized manifestation was brown keratinized patches on the dorsum of hands and digits,wrists,elbows,knees,ankles,and along the lateral margin of palms,which became white 3 to 6 minutes after immersing in water.Lesions usually resolved spontaneously in winter.Microscopic examination of lesions for fungal elements was negative.Histopathology revealed epidermal hyperkeratosis,acanthosis and mild papillomatous hyperplasia as well as dermal infiltrates with a few lymphocytes.Conclusion Symmetric acral keratoderma is a skin disease characterized by symmetric acral keratosis with apparent seasonality.
