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.
