ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of hippocampal CA3 dopaminergic system in acquisition and consolidation of Pavlovian fear conditioning,and expression of GluR1 and NR2B in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC),CA1 and basolateral amygdala (BLA) after fear conditioning training.MethodsBilateral injection 6-OHDA into hippocampal CA3 to lesion dopaminergic fibers 2 weeks before fear conditioning training.The change of GluR1 and NR2B were analyzed by western blot after training.ResultsCompared with the saline group ( (66.44 ± 16.58)% ),there were significant decreases ( (39.24 ± 12.83)%,(31.15 ±6.51 )% ) in the consolidation of short- and long- term fear memory (P < 0.05 ) but not the acquisition ( ( 65.58 ± 5.33 ) %,P > 0.05).The expression of GluR1 protein was significantly increased in BLA (P<0.01 ) but not the mPFC or hippocampal CA1 (P>1.05 ),compared with the saline group.In addition,the expression of NR2B protein was significantly increased in the mPFC and decreased in BLA (P<0.01) but not the hippocampal CA1 (P>0.05),compared with the saline group.ConclusionDown-regulation of dopaminergic system in hippocampal CA3 may impair the consolidation but not the acquisition of fear memory,and also regulate the expression of GluR1,NR2B protein related to fear memory in other brain regions.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Rehabilitative Ankle-Foot Orthoses training program on walking function of hemiplegic patients after stroke .Methods95 patients were randomly divided into two groups: observed group (49 cases) and control group (46 cases). The patients of control group were trained by routine rehabilitation training program, the patients of observed group were trained by Rehabilitative Ankle-Foot Orthoses and routine rehabilitation training program.ResultsAfter training, either observed group or control group showed significant improvement at walking function and ADL(P<0.01), but the improvement on observed group were more marked than coutrol group(P<0.01 and P<0.05). ConclusionsThe ability of walking in acute stroke patients were obviously improved, and the degree of the disability of them was decreased by Rehabilitative Ankle-Foot Orthoses.

Objective This study was designed to understand the characteristics of colonic polyps in aged people, and the relationship between the colonic polyps and the malignant change. Methods A total of 158 patients with colonic polyps diagnosed by endoscopy were retrospectively analyzed during the recent years. Among them, 120 patients had been followed up by endoscopy for 1 to 6 years(average 4 5 years) and were compared with 437 young patients. Results The detective rate and the malignant change rate of colonic polyps in the aged people were 30% and 23 4%, respectively, being significantly higher than that of the young (10 2%) and the middle aged people(6 9%, P

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the structure of TMJ and the craniofacial pattern,occlusion in ClassⅡ1mandibular retrusion children. Methods:TMJ MRI,lateral cephalometric were taken respectively from 30 ClassⅡ1 patients (14 boys and 16 girls,the average age was 10.8?1.1 years). The condyle position and disc position were measured. The correlation of condyle and disc position with craniofacial pattern and occlusion were analyzed metrically and compared with pearson test.Results:There were low positive correlation between MP-SN angle and anterial space. No correlation between posterior-anterior ratio and other data were found. The posterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc angle had low positive correlation. The anterior facial height and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc、Ca-Ca'、Ca-Cp showed low negative correlation,and little correlation was found between condyle position and overbite and overjet. Overbite had no correlation with disc-condyle-fossa relationship. However,The positive correlation was found between the overjet. and Ca-Dm and Dp-Cc/Cs-Cc,and Pearson coefficient is 0.420 and 0.460.Conclusion:Vertical craniofacial patter has relation to forward displacement of condyle and backward displacement of disc. A deeper overjet is related with a higher risk of abnormal disc-condyle-fossa relationship.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men and related studies have achieved great breakthrough in recent years.But because of the lack of effective in vivo animal models, the process to translate basic research into clinical application has been severely hampered.Patient derived prostate tumor xenograft ( PDPTX) model is an ideal animal model in which freshly isolated tumor tissues from patients were inoculated into immunodeficient mice.This model can duplicate the heterogeneity of primary tumor in a better way and keep the tumor complexity at molecular, genetic and pathological levels.Particularly, the PDPTX model, in which the isolated tumor tissue is inoculated under the renal capsule, is even better, because it solves the clrawbacks of traditional subcutaneous inoculation model.In traditional mod-els, the success rate is low, it’s not easy for lower grade tumor to form xenograft, and it’s not easy to reconstruct metasta-sis, etc.PDPTX provides a more ideal in vivo model for prostate cancer studies.It has irreplaceable advantages, especially in target therapy, new drug screening and individualized tumor treatment.

Objective To study the endoscopic manifestations of moderate or severe chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) related to their pathologic diagnosis.Methods The correlation analysis was done between gastroscopic manifestations and pathologic diagnosis of 49 patients with moderate to severe atrophic gastritis.Results Pathologic diagnosis of moderate to severe CAG and mild CAG were conducted in 33 and 10 cases respectively, among them, 27 cases with intestinal metaplasia (IM) and 30 cases with atypical hyperplasia. For moderate to severe CAG under gastroscopy compared with their pathologic diagnosis, the coincidence rate was 67 35%; 20 cases out of them, stained in vivo with methylene blue under gastroscopy, the coincidence rate of diagnosis was 80%. Compared with pathologic diagnosis, the gastroscopic manifestations of gastric mucosa have positive prediction rate more than 80%, when several alterations coexisted, positive prediction rate raised to more than 90%, but for every individual alteration, incidence of positive prediction was not significant. Both sensitivity and specificity of each manifestation under endoscopy were more than 95%. Other manifestations such as gastric mucosa thinning, their positive prediction rates of IM and atypical hyperplasia were less than 70%; their sensitivity and specificity were less than 30%. In using coarse and uneven lumped mucosa as the criteria in diagnosing IM and atypical hyperplasia, the sensitivity was 92 85% and 83 33% respectively, and the specificity was the same (about 70%).Conclusion Coincidence rate of diagnosis under gastroscopy and pathology is quite low in moderate to severe CAG, but the knowledge of gastroscopic manifestation and the staining technique might raise this coincidence rate.

Objective: To explore the inhibition effects of ectogenic wild type p53 cDNA(Ad wtp53) on colorectal carcinoma cell lines with different p53 gene status and search for the role of wild type p53 tumor suppressor gene in occurrenc and progress of malignant tumor. Methods: MTT process was taken to choose optimal transfection titre. Three kinds of cell lines(p53 gene deletion, mutation and nomal) were transferred by Ad wtp53 in optimal titre. The inhibition effects of these cell lines were observed and compared. Results: The best titre is 1000 MOI and p53 gene deletion cell line (THC 8908) shew the highest sensitivity. G 1 S transition period blocking effects occurred in all cell lines and G 2 M phase regulation effects were not coincidence in three colorectal cell lines. Conclusions: Recombinant adenovirus mediated wild type p53 gene observably inhibited colorectal carcinoma cell lines growth and proliferation, blocked cell cycle in G 0 /G 1 phase and displayed obvious different actions on G 2 M phase among cell lines with different p53 status.
