Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2012;34(4):251-254
Objective To explore the influence of environment early in life on learning and memory abilities and neuroglobin (Ngb) expression. MethodsForty-five newborn,male,Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an EE (enriched environment) group,an EI (isolated environment) group and a normal control group,with 15 rats in each group.The EE and EI group rats lived in those environments for their first 28 days of life.The step-down test was used to measure the rats'learning and memory abilities on the 29th day.Ngb expression was examined using immunohistochemical methods. ResultsThe step-down test showed learning and memory scores for the EE group rats of (9.67±0.49) and (9.80±0.56) respectively,significantly higher than those of the control group,(8.67±0.72) and (8.93±1.10).The learning and memory abilities of the EI group were the lowest among the three groups,with scores of only (7.07±1.98) and (7.67±0.98 ),respectively.The latency of the first electric shock was (166.33±36.08)s in the EE group and significantly shorter than that in the control group (108.93±73.26) s.The EI group showed the longest average latency (44.93±45.03)s.Average Ngb expression as reflected by the integrated optical density in the EE group was (224.56±89.09) in the frontal cortex and (127.70 ± 28.16)in the hippocampus,a significant increase over expression in the control group.The Ngb expressions of the EI group were the lowest among the 3 groups-(88.78 ± 18.84) and ( 63.42 ± 16.41 ) in the frontal cortex and hippocampus respectively. ConclusionsEarly exposure to an enriched environment can increase Ngb expression and improve learning and memory ability,but early isolation will reduce Ngb expression and learning and memory function.

Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;35(2):158-161
Objective:
To investigate the factors affecting decreased ovarian reserve (DOR) among women of childbearing age, so as to provide insights into prevention of DOR.
Methods:
Women with DOR at ages of 18 to 40 years that were admitted to Department of Gynecology, Ningbo Women and Children's Hospital during the period from January 2021 to June 2022 were recruited (DOR group), while healthy women at ages of 18 to 40 years during the same period served as normal controls. Participants' demographics, exercise, diet, previous medical history, childbearing history and menstruation were collected using questionnaire surveys. The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and estradiol (E2) levels were tested. Factors affecting DOR were identified among women of childbearing age using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
There were 200 participants in the DOR group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 32 (9) years, and 200 participants in the normal group, with a median (interquartile range) age of 29 (12) years. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that underweight (OR=2.935, 95%CI: 1.374-6.269), overweight/obesity (OR=2.612, 95%CI: 1.335-5.065), high-oil-high-glucose-high-salt diet (OR=2.653, 95%CI: 1.616-4.357), menstrual disorder (OR=1.977, 95%CI: 1.284-3.041) and lack of exercise (OR=3.392, 95%CI: 2.052-5.606) were statistically correlated with the development of DOR among women of childbearing age.
Conclusions
Underweight, overweight/obesity, high-oil-high-glucose-high-salt diet, menstrual disorder and lack of exercise are factors affecting the development of DOR among women of childbearing age.
10.Study of the Influence on Hemipl egic Patients Treated with Rehabil itation Medicine Sooner or Later
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 1996;2(2):66-69
hemiplegic patients following stroke were devided into two groups一一group A andgroup B for this study. Rehabilitation treatment started for the patients in group A in one month,yet forthose in group B in two or three months after onset of the stroke. Compared the conditions of the twogroups of patients before their rehabilitation treatment,there was no obvious difference(P<0.05)in thefour aspects of their motor ability(Ⅰ-activity in bed;Ⅱ-aclivity in wheel-chair;Ⅲ-in-ward;Ⅳ-outdoor activity).While the result of analysis on their post-treating shift of motor ability showed that thetrend,which the proportion of patients with ability Ⅰ andⅡ decreased but the proportion of patients withability Ⅲ and Ⅳ increased,was more significant in group A than in group B(P<0.05).Thereby it indicatesthat the early starting of rehabilitation treatment is favourable for improving motor ability of hemiplegic pa-tients following stroke.
