Objective To investigate the characteristics of attentional control between Wenchuan earthquake anxious and normal children. Methods Using Screening Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), 18 earthquake anxious children were chosen as participants and 18 normal children were chosen as control group. They were asked to perform a visual search task. Results ( 1 ) The judgment accuracy of earthquake anxious children was lower than normal children's significantly ( ( 0.95 ± 0.01 ), ( 0. 98 ± 0. 01 ), P ＜0.01 ). ( 2 ) The reaction time of earthquake anxious children was significantly longer than normal children' s ((1664.5 ± 78.5 ) ms, ( 1110.7 ± 78.5 ) ms, P ＜ 0. 01 ). ( 3 ) There was significantly faster performance in the valid condition than in the neutral( ( 1304.7 ± 61.3 ) ms, ( 1382. 3 ± 47.4 ) ms, P ＜ 0. 05 ) and invalid condition ( ((1304.7 ± 61.3 )ms, (1475.8 ± 71.5 )ms; P ＜ 0. 05 ), as well as faster performance in the neutral than in the invalid condition ((1382.3 ± 47.4) ms, ( 1475.8 ± 71.5 ) ms, P ＜ 0.05 ) in all children. Conclusion The performance of earthquake anxious children on top-down attentional control task is less than normal children. It indicates that anxious emotion which is brought by traumatic incidents like earthquake influents earthquake anxious children' s cognitive processing ability.

Objective To study effect and its possible mechanism of total glucosides of paeony ( TGP ) on adriamycin-induced nephropathy rats.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group ( CON) , adriamycin-induced nephropathy group ( ADRN) and TGP-treated ADRN group (TGP).The rat nephropathy model was established by adriamycin injection.At the end of the 8th week after treatment, ELISA was used to detect the level of Cr and BUN.The values of 24 urine protein was determined by urinary protein kit.Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis.RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA levels of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 .Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the content of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1.ResuIts Compared with the CON group, the level of Cr, BUN, 24 urine protein of ADRN group rised(P<0.01), the degree of fibrosis of ADRN group were aggravated(P<0.01), and the expressions of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 of ADRN group increased significantly.However, compared with ADRN group, the(P<0.01) level of Cr, BUN, 24 urine protein of TGP-treated rats reduced(P<0.01), the degree of fibrosis of TGP-treated rats eased(P<0.05), and the expressions of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 of TGP-treated rats decreased significantly.ConcIusion TGP retards the process of fibrosis and reduces the pathological damage in adriamycin-induced rats by down-regulating the expression of TLR4/NF-κB/TGF-β1 signaling.

Objective To investigate mRNA expressions of apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3 family (APOBEC3s or A3s) as well as expressions and subcellular distribution of major A3 proteins in HaCaT keratinocytes carrying the genome of human papillomavirus type 11 (HPV11.HaCaT),and to evaluate regulatory effects of exogenous interferon-alpha (IFN-α) on the expressions of A3s.Methods The basal levels of A3A,A3B,A3C and A3H mRNA expressions were measured by real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) in HPV11.HaCaT cells and normal HaCaT cells.Cultured HaCaT,HPV11.HaCaT and Hela cells were treated with recombinant human IFN-α 2b (rhIFN-α2b) at concentrations of 104,105 and 106 IU/ml for 6,24 and 48 hours separately,and those receiving no treatment served as the normal control groups.Then,qRT-PCR was performed to measure mRNA expressions of A3A,A3B,A3C and A3H in these cells.Immunofluorescence staining was conducted to observe the expression and distribution of A3A protein in cells after the treatment with rhIFN-α2b for 6 hours.Results As qRT-PCR showed,the basal levels of A3A,A3B and A3C mRNA expressions were all significantly higher in HPV11.HaCaT cells than in normal HaCaT cells (all P ＜ 0.05).After stimulation,the mRNA expressions of the four A3 members increased to different extents with the increase in rhIFN-α2b concentrations,and the increase in A3A mRNA was the most significant.Compared with corresponding normal control groups,the mRNA expression of A3A was significantly increased in HaCaT cells (35.77 ± 5.01 vs.1.00 ± 0.05,P ＜ 0.05),HPV 11.HaCaT cells (15.34 ± 2.14 vs.0.99 ± 0.01,P ＜ 0.05) and Hela cells (24.60 ± 5.45 vs.0.97 ± 0.03,P ＜ 0.05) after the treatment with rhIFN-α2b at 106 IU/ml for 6 hours,while the increase in A3B,A3C and A3H mRNA expressions was no more than 9-fold in these cell lines after that.Enhanced staining for A3A was observed in nuclei and cytoplasm of the 3 cell lines after the treatment with rhIFN-α2b at 106 IU/ml for 6 hours.Conclusions HPV11 transfected into HaCaT cells can activate intracellular A3s,especially A3A.IFN-α may play an immunoregulatory role by inducing high levels of A3A expression.

AIM: Cystostomy is the traditionary method for detecting urodynamic indexes in mice, which de-stroys the continuity of the bladder, and there are significant differences between this method and the clinically used trans-urethral method.This study aims to develop an appropriate urethral catheter to investigate the advantages and application val-ue of transurethral method for urodynamic test.METHODS:A pediatric intravenous catheter was used for urethral catheter-ization on 8 female mice, and linked to connect the catheter to baroreceptor and micropump.The epidural catheter was also used as manometry tube.RESULTS:Using this method, the following urodynamic indicators has been successfully cap-tured:basal bladder pressure (BBP), bladder leak point pressure (BLPP), maximum voiding pressure (MVP), maxi-mum bladder capacity ( MBC ) , post-void residual urine volume ( PVR ) , voiding volume ( VV ) , efficiency of voiding ( EV) and bladder compliance ( BC) .CONCLUSION:This is the first successful simulation used in human body to a-chieve mouse urodynamic testing through the urethra catheter, which avoids the impact of cystostomy on urodynamics in mice, and the mice are able to keep long-term survival after tests for the follow-up molecular and genetic experiments.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation has gained considerable support recently. It provides new opportunities for treating diabetic neurogenic bladder. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the research progress in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s (BMSCs)transplantation in the treatment of diabetic neurogenic bladder. METHODS:The first author retrieved Sciencedirect, PubMed, Embase, Wangfang and CNKI databases, for relevant articles of BMSCs transplantation in the treatment of diabetic neurogenic bladder, published from 2000 to 2016. The key words were“bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, diabetic neurogenic bladder, differentiation, transplantation”in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In patients with diabetic neurogenic bladder, the transplantation of BMSCs may provide safer and longer-lasting outcomes by repairing the damaged bladder and urethra. And it can produce various bioactive substances, which wil have nutritional paracrine effects on the bladder microenvironment, including anti-inflammation, promoting cel proliferation and improving cel survival. On the one hand, the BMSCs have the ability to migrate to the injury site via the blood circulation. On the other hand, BMSCs can produce various growth factors, as wel as the cytokines that can inhibit the inflammatory response. While the current clinical studies are lacking, its efficacy and safety needs further verification.
