Objective To observe the marker effects of two different fluorescent dyes, DIL and DAPI, in labeling endogenous neural stem cells (ENSCs) in rat central nervous system. Methods Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into staining groups, comprising DIL group and DAPI group, and the corresponding control groups, including DMSO group for DIL group and PBS group for DAPI group. 0.2% DIL 10μl or 10μg/ml DAPI 10μl was stereotactically injected into the lateral ventricle of rats of DIL group or DAPI group, while DMSO or PBS 10μl was introduced into that of DMSO group or PBS group. Neurological severity score (NSS) was determined 2 hours and 24 hours respectively after the operation. Rats were sacrificed at day 1, 3, 7 after the injection. Serial coronal sections of the brain and spinal cord were carried out on a cryostat, and then they were observed under a confocal microscope. The fluorescence intensity of the targeted area, which highlighted by labeled ependymal cells, in the brain and spinal cord of cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae were semi-quantified. Fluorescence intensity of each section was measured in triplicate, and a mean value was obtained. Statistical analysis was performed on 3 data sets, randomly selected from sections of brain and spinal cord obtained at day 1, 3, 7. Results Two hours after DIL injection, the rats showed no evident neurological defect. NSS value was very low, and there was no significant difference compared with the DMSO group (P>0.05). Twenty-four hours later, normal neurological function recovered in all the rats. Red fluorescence could be seen in the cytoplasm of ependymal cells in the lateral ventricle and each spinal cord segment at day 1 after the DIL injection, and it did not disappear until the 7th day. Nuclei of DAPI-labeled lateral ventricle cells were blue, with clear nuclear morphology. Choroid plexus cells of the ventricle were also labeled. However, there was no blue fluorescence in the medulla oblongata or any segment ofthe spinal cord. The picture at day 3 and day 7 was similar to that of day 1. No significant difference was found between fluorescence intensity in DIL or DAPI stained cells(P>0.05) at any time point. Conclusions DIL may serve as a marker of the cytoplasm of ependymal cells in the brain ventricle and spinal central canal. DAPI, which is often used in the nuclear staining, can label the ENSCs in the brain ventricle. Intraventricular injection of fluorescent dye is a relatively safety procedure.

Objective To study the effects of diabetes on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in perforant path-dentate gyrus pathway (PP-DG) in rats. Methods 70 SD rats( 180±20) g were divided into 3 groups at random: control group, type1 diabetes group (DM1)and type2 diabetes group (DM2). After Morris water maze test, 15 rats that showed worse spatial memory ability were selected in each model group to investigate the variation of paired-pulse facilitation (PPF) and the range of synaptic plasticity. Field potentials were recorded in the dentate gyrus of the dorsal hippocampus by stimulating the perforant path. Results Contrast to the control group, diabetic rats' hippocampal LTP were depressed (P<0.05), and type1 diabetic rats' LTP reduced much more. Diabetic rats' PPF ratio was reduced contrast to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Type1 and type2 diabetes impaired synaptic plasticity of hippocampal PP-DG pathway in rats, which conformed the results of water maze test.

The pharmaceuticals have been playing an important role in insuring human health and stockbreeding for decades. However incompletely absorbed pharmaceuticals will find their way into the wastewater in their original structure or metabolites. The ineffective operation of wastewater-treatment plants makes it possible that the widespread appearance of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment. The pharmaceuticals become the kind of "persistent" pollutants in the aquatic environment since they have been widely and continually used in daily life although their half-lives are relatively short. Their occurrences threaten the aquatic ecological safety and human’s health. In recent years, European and North American countries have focused on the research of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment, while the related reports are scarce in China. This article comprehensively analyzed and discussed the effects of pharmaceuticals pollution in the aquatic environment on aquatic organism and human health. It will present an important reference for future related research as well as establishing ecological risk assessment of pharmaceuticals in aquatic environment in China.

0.05). Conclusion: MCM may be useful in root canal therapy to disinfect the infected root canal.

Objective To study the effect of diabetes on spatial memory ability and spatial associative memory ability in rats. Methods 70 SD rats( 180±20 g) were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group,type1 diabetes group and type2 diabetes group. Type1 and type2 diabetic rat models were set up by streptozocin (STZ) intraperitoneal injection and high fat forage raise. The blood glucose was determined. After rat diabetic model established 1 month and 3 months, respectively, the Morris water maze experiments were implemented,including 4 days' place swimming and 1 day's space exploration. Results After 1 month, diabetic rats' spatial memory ability and spatial associative memory ability were not affected. After 3 months, in place swimming test,the escape latency of two diabetic rat groups was obviously longer than that of the control group (P＜0.05). From the second day of the experiment, escape latency of the control descended sharply, while that of the diabetic group descended slowly. There was no difference between type 1 and type2 diabetic groups in escape latency (P＞0.05). After 3 months, in the space exploration test, when rats were put into the maze from I quadrant which already trained, swimming time in the platform quadrant was shorter, the other parameter scores were lower of the two diabetic model groups, contrast to the control group (P＜0.05). The parameter scores of type2 diabetic group were lower slightly than type1 diabetic group. When rats were put into the maze from IV quadrant for which never trained, the parameter scores of two diabetic groups were lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05) and the total score of type 1 group was lower than that of type2 group. Conclusion The spatial memory ability and spatial associative memory ability of type 1 and type2 diabetic rats descended. In the experiment, the spatial memory ability of type2 diabetic rats was more significantly affected than that of type1 diabetic rats. By contrast,type 1 diabetic rats' spatial associative memory ability descended greatly than that of type2 diabetic rats.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of exhalation valve location as well as its type on carbon dioxide (CO2) rebreathing during noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV).Methods With a standardized NPPV experimental model system, the exhalation valve was respectively installed between the ventilator tube and mask (positionⅠ), or on the mask (positionⅡ). This study included four groups according to the position and type of exhalation valve, namely: single-arch exhalation valve was installed on the positionⅠ (A group), and positionⅡ (C group, the distal end of single-arch exhalation valve was blocked); plateau exhalation valve was installed on the positionⅠ (B group) and positionⅡ (D group, the distal end of plateau exhalation valve was blocked). Under standard experimental condition, the pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) was monitored in the trachea or the mask through adjusting the expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP, EPAP was set at 5 cmH2O and 10 cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa) and tidal volume (VT, VT was set at 300, 400, 500 mL). Leakage of exhalation valve was monitored when single-arch exhalation and plateau exhalation valves were respectively placed in the positionⅠ through adjusting the inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP at 5, 10, 15, 20 cmH2O respectively). Results① Under standard experimental condition, when EPAP was 5 cmH2O, PETCO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) in the trachea was 69.6±3.4, 61.4±2.7, 54.8±1.5, 49.8±1.3 in A, B, C, D groups respectively; and it was 24.8±1.9, 21.8±1.6, 2.8±0.8, 1.8±0.8 in the mask, respectively. When EPAP was 10 cmH2O, the PETCO2 in the trachea was 64.2±3.6, 57.2±3.7, 48.8±2.6, 41.8±2.6 in A, B, C, and D groups respectively; and it was 23.0±1.6, 20.2±1.6, 2.2±0.8, 1.2±0.8 in the mask, respectively. For the same exhalation valve type, exhalation valve being installed on positionⅡ could induce significantly lower PETCO2 in the trachea and mask than that being installed on positionⅠ (allP< 0.05). For the same expiratory valve position, plateau exhalation valve produced significantly lower PETCO2 than single-arch valve (allP< 0.05).② As the VT increased, the PETCO2 in the trachea of each group was reduced obviously. When VT was 500 mL, PETCO2 (mmHg) was significantly lower than VT, which were 300 mL and 400 mL (A group: 51.4±2.7 vs. 72.8±2.9, 69.6±3.4; B group: 44.8±2.4 vs. 65.4±2.1, 61.4±2.7;C group: 36.8±1.9 vs. 59.0±1.6, 54.8±1.5; D group: 28.8±1.9 vs. 52.6±2.0, 49.8±1.3; allP< 0.05).③ When exhalation valve type was placed in positionⅠ, the air leakage of single-arch exhalation valve was increased to (15.8±1.9), (20.2±1.9), (23.8±2.8), (28.0±1.6) L/min, and the plateau exhalation valve was essentially unchanged to (24.2±1.6), (23.8±1.6), (25.2±1.6), (25.2±1.6) L/min as the IPAP was increased from 5, 10, 15, to 20 cmH2O. Conclusions Exhalation valve fixing on mask is more appropriate for CO2 discharge than that fixed on tube-mask valve. Plateau exhalation valve as well as moderately increasing VT is beneficial for CO2 discharge and CO2 rebreathing prevention.
