Increasing clinical evidence shows that modern lifestyle interrupting circadian rhythm contributes to the prevalence of obesity and diabetes.Recent genetic animal models further support the interaction of circadian rhythms and metabolic state.Circadian clock is not limited to be in central nervous system,and is also present in nearly all cells of the body,which constitute hierarchically circadian systems.The molecular circadian clock is evolved to allow organisms to anticipate and prepared for predictable,daily changes in the environment and regulates cellular and tissue function by driving patterns of gene expression and enzymatic activity.At present,basic science in this field has progressed at an extraordinary pace and is expected to continue unraveling the mechanisms linking circadian clocks to metabolism,which is important for understanding the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes,and provides a conceptual basis for the prevention and therapeutics of these diseases.

Objective To investigate the effect of unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage on long -term behavio-ral development of neonatal SD rats.Methods Forty -eight neonatal SD rats (1 0 days after birth)were equally divided into cerebral hemorrhage (CH)group,sham operation (SH)group and normal control (NC)group randomly, 1 6 cases for each group.Stereotaxic apparatus was used to inject autologous blood 25 μL into rats′brain caudate nu-cleus to establish basal ganglia hemorrhage model,while SH group was injected with nothing,and NC group received no treatment.Berderson scoring method was used to test rats′neurological functions on the first day,the third day,the seventh day,and the fourteenth day after operation,respectively.The open -field environment test and the Lat maze were used to assess behavior of the rats on the fourteenth day after operation,lasting for 3 days continuously.Results (1 )After being modeled rats appeared with different degrees of neurological function damage.SH group rats′neurologi-cal function damage was slight,which was completely restored in the 72 hours after surgery.CH group rats appeared hemiplegia and muscle tension change.CH rats neurological scores′on the first and third day after modeling scores were separate (3.40 ±0.83)scores and (1 .1 3 ±0.92)scores respectively,and the scores were statistically higher than SH group [(0.73 ±0.59)scores and (0.1 3 ±0.35)scores]and NC group (all P <0.05).And then Bederson score de-creased,and on the seventh and fourteenth day after modeling,the Bederson scores′difference was not statistically sig-nificant among the 3 groups(P >0.05).(2)On the fourteenth day after modeling,in open -field test and the Lat maze,the number of passed panels,straightening(times)and grooming(times)in CH group were more than those in SH group and NC group respectively (all P <0.05).The difference in the number of passed panels,straightening (times)and grooming (times)between SH group and NC group was not statistically significant (P >0.05 ). Conclusions Neonatal rats focal hemorrhage in unilateral basal ganglia is strongly repairable and compensatory,which leaves no severe neurological dysfunction.The neurological function damage which is caused by unilateral basal ganglia hemorrhage can lead to the increase of autonomic activities,the decrease of non -selective attention level,attention defi-cit and other long -term behavioral abnormalities.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection in the treatment of vertebro-basilar artery insufficiency(VBI)after cerebral infraction. METHODS:128 patients with VBI after cerebral infraction were divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 64 cases in each group. Both group received general treatment. Control group was additionally given Shuxuetong injection 6 ml added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd. Observation group was additionally given Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hy-drochloride injection 10 ml into 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 ml,ivgtt,qd. Both groups received treatment for consecutive 2 weeks. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The total effective rate of observa-tion group was 95.31%,which was significantly higher than 79.69% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,above indexes of 2 groups were improved significantly,and blood lipid and vertebro-basilar ar-tery blood velocity of observation group were significantly better than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvi-ous ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection shows significant therapeutic efficacy for VBI after cerebral infraction,can significantly improve blood lipid,vertebro-basilar artery blood velocity and blood viscosity with good safety.

BACKGROUND:It has been found that the compressive strength and flexural strength of nano-hydroxyapatite combined with light-cured resin matrix can neet the requirements of dental restorative materials. OBJECTIVE:To detect the cytotoxicity of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin, and to analyze its effects on the dental restoration. METHODS:In vitro test:passage 5 periodontal ligament fibroblast-like cel s and L-929 cel s suspensions were cultured in the 10%, 50%, 100%of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin extracts, respectively, and fresh maintenance medium functioned as negative control group. Absorbance values were detected within 7-day culture. In vivo repair test:57 cases with tooth defect were enrol ed containing 37 males and 20 females aged from 15 to 31 years old, and al were subjected to nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin treatment. A 3-year fol ow-up was undergone to detect the completeness, marginal adaptation and color matching of the restoration, as wel as the periodontal probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, dental plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid and aspartate aminotransferase level. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro test results showed that the different concentrations of nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin extracts had no effects on both periodontal ligament fibroblast-like cel s and L-929 cel s. In vivo repair test results found that after 3 years of fol ow-up, the periodontal probing depth, sulcus bleeding index, tooth mobility, dental plaque index, gingival crevicular fluid and aspartate aminotransferase level of patients were significantly decreased than those before repair (P<0.05), but the alkaline phosphatase level revealed no significant change (P>0.05). Unfortunately, three cases with incomplete restoration, four cases with color mismatching, and three cases with the inadaptable edge occurred. To conclude, the nano-hydroxyapatite/composite resin holds good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity, which can maintain a good periodontal health condition in the dental restoration.
