Objective To explore the application of iPad-based software Let'S Talk in the rehabilitation of children with autism. Meth-ods From March to September, 2015, iPad-based software Let'S Talk was applied in four children with autism. The language ability, emo-tion and behavior control ability, self-consciousness and eye contact were observed. The Psycho-educational Profile-3rd (PEP-3), Autism Be-havior Checklist (ABC) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) were used to access the months of age, behavior characteristics, and the severity of autism before and after application. Results The language ability and behavior control ability improved, as well as the self-consciousness and eye contact, and the bad behaviors reduced. The months of age rose in PEP-3, and the scores of ABC and CARS de-creased. Conclusion IPad-based software Let'S Talk could be applied in the rehabilitation of children with autism.

Obstructive jaundice is a common disease that greatly threatens human health.In order to better investigate the pathogenesis of obstructive jaundice,pathophysiological changes during disease progression,and treatment measures,the establishment of a stable animal model of obstructive jaundice becomes the basis for the research on various types of obstructive jaundice.This article elaborates on the advantages and disadvantages of the animal models of acute,progressive,chronic fluctuant,malignant,and reducible obstructive jaundice,as well as their application in clinical practice.These animal models have certain limitations in reflecting the development and progression of target disease.Most animal models are established by surgery or external physical and chemical damage,and there are still no mouse models of gene knockout or overexpression.Future research will focus on the stable animal models of chronic and progressive obstructive jaundice and special types of obstructive jaundice.

Objective To establish a methodological study pattern of quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker ( QAMS) , and examine its feasibility and technical applicability in the quality control of compound preparation of traditional Chinese medicine-Jinhoujian spray. Methods Gas chromatographic method ( GC) was used and naphthalene served as the internal standard. Menthol was used as the reference substance. The relative correlation factors ( RCF) of 1,8-Cineole, camphor and borneol to menthol were calculated and established to carry out QAMS.The accuracy of this method was confirmed by comparison of internal standard method. Results The reproducibility of relative correction factor was perfect. The two methods did not show significant difference in 10 bathes of samples. Conclusion The QAMS method is feasible, credible, and can be used to determine active ingredients in Jinhoujian spray.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of chlorogenic acid in Prunus armeniaca flos,and compare the contents in P. armeniaca flos from different origins and varieties. METHODS:HPLC was conducted to determine the content of chlorogenic acid in P. armeniaca flos;using the volume fraction of ethanol,the ratio of material to liquid,ultrasonic extraction times and time as factor,the content of chlorogenic acid as index,single factor and orthogonal test were designed to optimize the extraction technology,and verification tests were carried out. The optimized extraction technology was used to extract and compare the contents of chlorogenic acid in Armeniaca sibirica from 7 origins of P. armeniaca flos and 3 origins of Armeniaca sibirica flos. RESULTS:The optimized extraction technology was extracting twice with 12-fold 75% ethanol,30 min each time. Under the con-ditions,the content of chlorogenic acid can reach 77.38 mg/g(RSD=0.58%,n=3);the contents of chlorogenic acid in A. sibiri-ca flos and P. armeniaca flos were 77.38-83.33 mg/g and 63.12-70.22 mg/g,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The established extrac-tion technology is reasonable,stable and feasible. The contents of chlorogenic acid in A. sibirica are higher than that in P. armenia-ca flos;the contents have no obvious differences in the same variety of A. sibirica from different origins.

Objective To investigate the arousal effect in the emotional Stroop effect by systematically manipulating the valence and arousal of affective stimuli.Methods 27 college students were recruited to distinThe main effect of emotion on RT was significant (F(5.130) = 5.90, P ＜ 0.01 ), RTs in positive (( 893±36 ) ms)main effect of Emotion on ACC was marginally significant (F(5.130) = 2.63, P = 0.05 ), ACC in high arousing negalence on RT was significant (F(1.26 = 7.03, P =0.013 ).Further analysis revealed that RTs in positive condition was significant (F(1.26) =5.63, P=0.025),ACC in high arousing condition (0.93 ±0.17) was lower than ACC in low arousing condition (0.95 ± 0.09 ).Conclusion The emotional Stroop effect mainly depends on the arousal information of affective stimuli.

Background Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) plays an important role in corneal woundhealing.The effects of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of extra cellular matrix (ECM) vary upon different concentrations.Previous studies focused on the effects of high concentration of TGF-β1 on keratocytes under the two-dimensional culture condition,and the effect of low concentration of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of ECM in keratocytes remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the growth of Pellet,a three-dimensional model of corneal stroma cells in vitro,and its ECM synthesis under a low concentration of TGF-β1.Methods Bovine corneal stromal cells were isolated from fresh bovine eyeballs by two-step digestion by collagenase and cultured using DMEM/F12 medium with 10％ fetal bovine serum (FBS).Pellets derived fresh bovine keratocytes with culture medium containing 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS were established,respectively.The morphology of Pellets was observed under the natural light at 48 hours,1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks after culture.In 3 weeks after culture,the cell structures was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and Calcein-AM/propidium (Calcein-AM/PI) staining was used to assay the cell viability.Real-time flurorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence technology were applied to analyze the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),fibronectin (FN),type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) and type Ⅲ collagen (Col Ⅲ) mRNA and proteins.RT-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of lumican (LUM) mRNA and keratocan (KERA) mRNA in the cells.Results Cells in Pellet clustered throughout the culture duration.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the mass red-dyed collagen fibers in both 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group,and most cells possessed complete structures.The death rate of the cells was (33.60±1.65)％ in the 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group and (30.90±0.78) ％ in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group,showing an insignificant difference between them (t =0.144,P=0.887).The expressions of α-SMA,FN and Col Ⅲ proteins in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group were lower than those in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 + 5 ％ FBS group (tα-SMA =4.622,P =0.010;tFN =2.973,P =0.040;tCol Ⅲ =7.845,P＜0.001),but the expression of Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group was higher than that in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1+5％ FBS group (tColⅠ =4.022,P=0.016).The ratio of Col Ⅲ/Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1+5％ FBS group was lower than that in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group in both mRNA and protein level (tmRNA =-3.039,P =0.038;tprotein =3.215,P =0.032).The expression of LUM mRNA and KERA mRNA were detected in Pellet at different time points.The expression of LUM mRNA in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group increased over time.While in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5％ FBS group,the expression of LUM mRNA peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.The expression of KERA mRNA in two groups were all peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.Conclusions Low-dose TGF-β1 in Pellet can maintain the normal growth of keratocytes and synthesize ECM.The expression of ECM tends to the normal condition after reducing the concentration of TGF-β1,implying a scarless expression.
