Aim To study the antipsychotic effects of l-Scoulerine ( l-SLR) . Methods NMDAreceptorantag-onist MK-801 was used to induce the positive and neg-ative symptoms of schizophrenia and cognitive impair-ment in animal models. The effects of l-SLR were eval-uated on schizophrenia induced by MK-801 and on ex-trapyramidal system. Results l-SLR (10,15 mg · kg - 1 , ip) could suppress pre-pulse inhibition damage in rats induced by MK-801 (0. 3 mg·kg - 1 , ip); l-SLR(30 mg·kg - 1 , ip) could inhibit climbing behav-iors in mice induced by apomorphine, which suggested that l-SLR had significant inhibiting effects on the posi-tive symptoms of schizophrenia by MK-801 and apo-morphine. l-SLR could also induce social contact inhi-bition and cognitive impairment induced by MK-801 (0. 2 mg · kg - 1 , ip), which proposed that l-SLR could improve the negative symptoms and cognitive im-pairment by MK-801. Catalepsy in mice could be caused by the treatment dose of haloperidol (0. 8 mg· kg - 1 , ip), not by that of l-SLR(30 mg·kg - 1 , ip). Conclusion I-SLR has significant effects on the posi-tive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia and cogni-tive impairment and, the effect of l-SLR under effective dose on extrapyramidal system is obviously much less than that of haloperidol and l-SPD.

Objective To compare the effects of median nerve electrical stimulation on coma patients after traumatic brain injury with different settings. Methods From 2013 to 2015, 161 patients with traumatic brain injury were randomly divided into control group (n=40), experimental group 1 (n=41), experimental group 2 (n=39) and experimental group 3 (n=41). The control group received routine conscious-ness-promoted methods, and the experimental groups received median nerve electrical stimulation with 200μs and 30 Hz, 100 Hz and 50 Hz in sequence, 60 minutes a day for 90 days. They were assessed with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) before, 30 days and 90 days after treatment. Results There was significant difference in the scores of CCS and CRS-R, times of treatment, number of sobered patients and coma time among groups (P<0.01), that the experimental groups were better than the control group (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found between the experimental groups 1 and 2 (P>0.05). The experimental group 3 was better than the experimental groups 1 and 2 (P<0.05). Conclusion Median nerve electrical stimulation with 200μs, 50 Hz could promote co-ma patients to wake up optimally.

Objective To characterize differences within facial profile esthetic evaluations among three groups of evaluators and the influences of sagittal or vertical skeletal patterns on facial profile esthetics. Methods A total of 114 silhouettes,from the pre?or post?treatment facial profiles of 57 patients,were scored by three groups of evaluators(professionals,patients'parents,and laypersons)to characterize differences within facial es?thetics evaluation among evaluators. The highest?scoring 30 silhouettes and the lowest?scoring 30 silhouettes were selected as the high score group and the low score group,respectively. Sixteen indices of the relative lateral cephalometric films were measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Results Facial profiles following orthodontic treatment scored higher than pre?treatment(P<0.05). There were significant differences between professionals and laypersons in facial profile scoring. Different sagittal skeletal patterns had no effect on esthetic evaluation ,but lower facial height significantly influenced whether a patient received a high or low esthetic score(P<0.05). Conclusion Orthodontic treatment can improve the fa?cial profile significantly,and lower facial height is the most sensitive index for facial profile evaluation in our study. However,all three evaluator groups have different esthetic standards that don't overlap. Notably,the expectations of laymen are higher than those of orthodontists.
