Objective Using apomorphine, a potent dopamine receptor agonist and rotating T-maze, the effect of apomorphine on the visual discrimination learning and reversal learning in rats was investigated. Methods All rats were trained in a visual discrimination task (food reward and light stimulus) in rotating T-maze. After reaching the acquisition criterion, rats were trained in a reversal task (food reward and without light stimulus) in the same maze. During the period of visual discrimination task, apomorphine was administrated either 30 minutes prior to learning or after learning immediately. Results The results showed that apomorphine, which was given either 30 minutes prior to visual discrimination learning or after learning, could impair the acquisition of discrimination learning( 259.20±26.29 and 264.00±16.97, compared to 168.00±16.97 and 163.20±20.08) and apomorphine, which was given only after visual discrimination learning, could impair the acquisition of reversal learning (451.20±39.44 compared to 360.00±29.39). Conclusion The results showed that apomorphine, which was given either 30 minutes prior to visual discrimination learning or after learning, could impair the acquisition of discrimination learning and apomorphine, which was given only after visual discrimination learning, could impair the acquisition of reversal learning.

Donguibogam was introduced from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) instead of the local representa-tive work of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). It is also the concrete manifestation of theories of different schools of doctors according to Dr. Xu Jun's medical thoughts. In this paper, from Dr. Xu's advocacy to Taoism and the concept of aftercare spirit, the exploration was made on health cultivation for different body constitu-tions. According to the health cultivation effects of the medicinals and edible food, the focus was made on the sys-tematic collation and induction of more than 1 400 kinds of herbs contained in the soup liquid from papers in three volumes. The medicinals were divided into eight categories, which were benefiting qi, nourishing yin, tonifying yang, clearing heat and promoting dieresis, drying dampness and resolving phlegm, promoting blood circulation for remov-ing blood stasis, dispersing stagnated liver qi, nourishing blood for hemostasis. Donguibogam specified the health cultivation concept from the correspondence between the body constitution and the medicinal performance. It has a certain guiding significance to the current health cultivation.

Objective To assess the safety and efficacy of stent-assisted coil embolization for acutely ruptured wide-necked intracranial aneurysms. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 192 wide-necked intracranial aneurysms in 178 patients. The efficacy and peri-procedure complications of stent-assisted embolization were compared between rup?ture aneurysms and unrupture aneurysms. Results Stent was successfully implanted in 78 rupture aneurysms and 114 un?rupture aneurysms. There was statistically significant difference between rupture aneurysms and unrupture aneurysms groups in rate of poor prognosis on discharge ( 23.1%vs. 5%,χ2=12.726, P<0.001) but not in the peri-procedure compli?cations rate (14.1%vs. 6.1%,χ2=3.456,P>0.05)nor in the rate of mortality and permanent disability (8.9%vs. 6.1%,χ2=0.475, P>0.05). Angiograms at 14.7 months of follow-up did not reveal any significant difference between rupture aneu?rysms and unrupture aneurysms groups in aneurysm complete occlusion (74.1%vs. 70.6%,χ2=0.197,P>0.05), recana?lization (10.3%vs. 9.4%,χ2=0.034,P>0.05)and in-stent stenosis (3.4%vs. 4.7%,χ2=0.136,P>0.05). Conclusion Stent-assisted coil embolization for acutely rupture wide-necked intracranial aneurysms can prevent recurrence effective?ly and can achieve high complete occlusion rate in long term follow-up. However, its procedure related complications and mortality is higher in rupture aneurysms than in unrupture aneurysms, which indicates that a caution is needed to conduct stent-assisted coil embolization in rupture aneurysms.

AIM: To study the expression of laminin and survivin in primary gallbladder carcinoma(PGC),and their correlation with clinicopathologic characteristics of PGC.METHODS: Forty-nine specimens with PGC,21 with cholecystoadenoma and 13 with chronic cholecystitis were included in this study.Laminin and survivin expression in gallbladder tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry.The relationship between laminin or survivin expression and clinico-pathologic data were also analyzed.RESULTS: An intact basement membrane(BM) with well-delineated,smooth and continuous line-like laminin staining was identified in the tissues from chronic cholecystitis,adenoma of gallbladder and gallbladder carcinoma in situ.Submucosal BM,which was interrupted in PGC specimens in NevinⅡstage,was almost lost in tumor tissues in Nevin Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ stage.Meanwhile,a distinguishing feature of the tumor tissue was broken or discontinuous line-like laminin staining in the matrix to tumor cells.These lines were detected to be weak,or even entirely absent in some neoplastic tissue sections.Sometimes,a faint cytoplasmic staining of laminin was also found in tumor tissues as classified to Nevin Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ stage.Expression of survivin in PGC tissues was significantly higher than that in adenoma of gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis.However,survivin expressions had no specificity and positive predictive value for cell differentiation and grade as well as clinic stage of PGC by using statistical analyses.Furthermore,no correlation was confirmed between the staining features of laminin and survivin expression.CONCLUSION: Laminin expression is strongly associated with the malignancy and invasiveness of PGC,and survivin might play an important synergistic role in the development of PGC.

Objective:To study the correlation between the thickness of psoriasis skin and TCM syndromes,and to find an uninjurious and effective way to determine TCM syndromes by high-frequency ultrasound.Methods:Eighty-seven patients were divided into three groups:blood-heat syndrome group,blood-dryness syndrome group and blood-stasis syndrome group.The patients' epidermal and dermal thickness of targeted psoriasis skin and surrounding normal area was measured by high-frequency ultrasonic apparatus.Results:The thickness of epidermal and dermal of psoriasis skin was thicker than that of surrounding skin,and it was more obviouse of derma.The dermal thickness indexes of blood-stasis patients was the biggest in the three groups(P

Aim To investigate the effect of insulin glargine and human insulin on proliferation of a human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the role of ERK in the process.Methods MDA-MB-231 cells were incubated with insulin glargine and human insulin at different concentrations and for different time courses.A specific ERK1/2 inhibitor,PD98059,was used either alone or in combination with insulin glargine or human insulin to test the involvement of ERK pathway in cell growth.Cell proliferation was evaluated using cell counting kit-8 reagents.Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results Both insulin glargine and human insulin dose-dependently enhanced MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation at the concentrations from 1 to 100 IU?L-1 after treatment for 96 h.At the concentration of 10 IU?L-1,both drugs promoted cell growth at 48,72,and 96 h.The percentage of S+G2/M cells was significantly increased in both insulin glargine and human insulin treated groups as compared to untreated controls.No significant difference was observed between insulin glargine and human insulin in their effects on cell proliferation and cell cycle distribution.Cell proliferation was significantly inhibited by PD98059.However,in the presence of PD98059,both drugs still promoted cell proliferation significantly as compared to untreated controls.Conclusions Insulin galrgine and human insulin similarly promote proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells independent of ERK activation.

Objective To explore the change regulation of blood coagulation function before and after treatment of snake bite pa‐tients .Methods A total of 226 hospitalized patients with clear diagnosis belong to what kind of snakes in the past two years were selected in this study ,39 cases were bit by coral ,76 cases were bit by trimeresurus stejnegeri ,47 cases were bit by cobra ,24 cases bit by king cobra ,40 cases were bit by adder .Five blood coagulation indexes were determined before and after treatment various pe‐riods for these patients .The tested results were made to statistical analysis according to kind of snakes ,periods and disease condi‐tion .Results D‐D level obvious .rise before treatment for the severe cases patients of coral snake bite (P<0 .05) .Plasma prothrom‐bin time (PT) ,activated partial clotting enzyme live time (APTT) ,thrombin time (TT)and D‐D level rise and Fib level reduced be‐fore treatment for the severe cases patients of trimeresurus stejnegeri bite ,and Fib and D‐D level before and after treatment had sta‐tistical significant difference with the mild patients (P<0 .05) .Every index for the cobra and king cobra had no statistical signifi‐cant differences (P>0 .05) before and after treatment ,only D‐D level of the severe cases had statistical significance before treat‐ment in contrast to the mild cases of cobra bite (P< 0 .05) .The changes of 5 item blood coagulation indexes were all very large whether mild or severe for viper bite patients ,a number of comparisons had statistical significance difference (P<0 .05) whether before or after treatment and whether mild or severe for viper bite patients .Conclusion The bite of coral snake ,cobra and king co‐bra affect little for the blood coagulation function .The severe cases patients of trimeresurus stejnegeri bite might lead to more seri‐ous blood coagulation function abnormality but the recovery is faster after treatment .The viper bite might lead to maximum blood coagulation function abnormality and the recovery is slow after treatment .

Objective To analyze the abnormal detectable rates of different kinds of blood test indexes before and after treatment in the patients with snake bite and to probe into the change condition of these indexes after different snake bite .Methods The inpa‐tients with clearly diagnosed what kind of snake bite in the past two years were selected as the research subjects .The multiple blood test indexes were determined before and after treatment in these patients .The abnormal detectable rates of these indexes were ana‐lyzed and compared among various snake bite patients .Results The different kinds of snake bite all could cause the different de‐grees of changes in some detection indexes among partial patients .Specially ,the detectable rates of WBC ,PT ,APTT ,TT ,D‐D ,CK , CK‐MB ,LDH ,Urea ,Cr and Cys‐C increase and PLT and Fbg decrease caused by viper bite were apparently higher than those caused by other kinds of snake bites (P<0 .05) .The detectable rates of CO2 increase and K+ decrease in the coral snake bite were apparently higher than those in trimeresurus gramineus ,cobra and viper bite (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Because the snake species and toxicities are different in the various snake bites ,so the caused changes and the abnormal detectable rates of blood test indexes also are different .
