AIM: To investigate the influence of television programs on children's mental growth so as to evaluate advantages and disadvantages on coordinative development of TV programs and child education.METHODS: A survey about the quality and audience rating of children's TV programs was carried out at the Developmental Psychology Institute of Beijing Normal University.RESULTS: The television programs have three main functions for children: education function (or learning function, orientation function), information function and entertainment function. Main purposes and effect for watching TV by children are: ①The major two are entertaining and getting information to enrich their knowledge, but other purposes like training thinking ability and learning skills still exist. ② Children TV programs can promote learning knowledge, skill, and academic study; develop intelligence and personality. Problems mentioned above have the age differences. However, the negative effect on child should not be neglected: ① A lot of unhealthy contents block children's healthy development. ②Watching TV for hours wastes a lot of valuable time that can be used for other important things like reading. This time-killing habit may harm children's profound thoughts and thinking ability.CONCLUSION: We should present new philosophy on children's TV programs producing. The producer should know well about children's needs and respect their requirements, including all kinds of rights and ideas, linking the entertainment function of these programs more closely with their education function and taking advantage of successful business models oversea, and inspiring organizations to produce more suitable programs.

90 bpm and nicardipine 10?g?kg-1 when MAP increased by 20% of the baseline value. Radial artery was cannulated for continuous BP monitoring and blood sampling. MAP, ECG, HR, SpO2 , PET CO2 and body temperature were continuously monitored during anesthesia. Blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (T1), when dura was cut (T2), when aneurysm was clipped (T3 ) and 30 min after clipping (T4 ) for determination of plasma concentrations of AT- Ⅱ , ET and CGRP by radioimmuno-assay.Results Plasma concentration of AT- Ⅱ and HR did not change significantly through out the study. Plasma CGRP concentration and MAP decreased significantly during operation at T2-4 as compared to the baseline values (T1 ) . Plasma ET concentration increased significantly at clipping (T3 ) as compared to that at T2. Conclusion The action of vaso-constrictors (AT- Ⅱ , ET) predominates over that of vaso-dilator during operation. It is important to prevent acute cerebral vasospasm during intracranial aneurysm clipping.

Objective To investigate the depressing effect of antigene peptide nucleic acid (AGPNA)on the k-ras gene expression of human pancreatic cancer Patu8988 cells, the inducing apoptosis effect on Patu8988 cells, and the biodistribution characteristics in nude mice bearing xenografts using 188Re-k-ras-AGPNA.Methods The expression level of k-ras mRNA and the expression ratio of k-ras protein in Patu8988 cells transfected with AGPNA was measured by RT-PCR and flow cytometry ,respectively. The degree of cellular apoptosis 3 to 5 d after treating Patu8988 cells with 188Re-k-ras-AGPNA or 188ReO4- was determined by flow cytometry. For biodistribution study, 58 nude mice bearing Patu8988 cell xenografts were divided into two groups: intratumoral injection of 188Re-k-ras-AGPNA (Group A) and 188ReO4- (Group B). At different time points, the mice were sacrificed and organs of interest were excised, weighted and counted by a gamma counter. The organ uptake was calculated as a % ID/g and the absorbed doses of organs were calculated. One-way analysis of variance was used. Results After transfected with 1 nmol/ml AGPNA, the k-ras mRNA gray scale ratio and the expression ratio of k-ras protein were 1.00 ± 0.39 and (15.05 ± 5.07)%, respectively. They were significantly lower than those of the control group with 1.86 ± 0.07 and (24. 38 ± 5.40) % (F = 2. 545, 5. 327, P<0. 05). At 4 and 5 d after treatment in Group A, float cells' apoptosis ratios were (26.30 ± 7.45) % and (27.90 ± 10. 38) %, respectively. Tumors were the major distribution site in Group A with uptake of (37.47 ±21.31), (35.96 ±7.80) and (15.46 ±4.93) %lD/g at 1 h, 1 d and 7 d after intra-tumor injection, respectively. The absorbed dose of tumor was 15 569 mGy/MBq. Condusions Transfection with k-ras-AGPNA on Patu8988 cells may inhibit k-ras expression at mRNA and protein expression level, and 188Re-k-ras-AGPNA can induce apoptosis of Patu8988 cells.Tumor is the major distribution site in nude mice bearing human pancreatic cancer xenografts after intratumoral injection of 188Re-k-ras-AGPNA.

Objective To evaluate the killing effect and the uptake of 125I-UdR on human lymphoma Raji and Daudi cell lines. Methods The amount of 125I-UdR in the cells and cell nuclei were determined after incubation of different time in RPMI 1640 culturing medium containing different concentrations of 125I-UdR. The killing effects of 125I-UdR on Raji and Daudi cell lines were estimated through MTT assay and cell cycle was analyzed by propidium iodide (PI) staining. Results The amounts of 125I-UdR in Raji and Dandi cells and cell nuclei were much higher than that of Na125I(P < 0.05). The amounts of 125l-UdR in Raji and Daudi cells were 14414±95 and (6916± 53.69) Bq/106 cell when the concentration was 100 kBq/ml. The amounts of Na125I were 68± 3.8 and (324±32.8) Bq/106 cell. The uptake of 125I-UdR in Raji and Daudi cells and cell nuclei increased with the 125I-UdR concentration and incubated time. The cell surviving fractions of 125I-UdR groups was much lower than that of Na125I groups (P < 0.05). When the concentration was 500 kBq/ml and incubated time was 48 hours, the Raji and Dandi cell surviving fractions of125I-UdR groups were (19.78 ± 1.39)% and (43.17 ± 2.69) % ;those of Na125I groups were (79.10 ± 1.79) % and (80.36 ± 6.12) %. The surviving fractions of 125I-UdR groups reduced with the 125I-UdR concentration. Conclusions 125I-UdR can be specially ingested by Raji and Daudi cells and incorporated into DNA, then the cells will be killed. The uptake of 125I-UdR is dose and time dependent.

[Objective] To observe the effect of Baicalin on the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) induced by chlamydia pneumoniae (CPN). [Methods] The endothelial cells of umbilical veins (ECV-304) was cultured in-vitro in 6-well culture plate (3 double-wells as a group). When a single layer formed, CPN or CPN + baicalin (0.48 g/L or 0.24 g/L) was added, serving as the model group and baicalin groups respectively. The wells without adding agents served as the normal group. After 5 days of culture, the intracellular growth of CPN in ECV-304 was examined by monoclonal antibody fluorescence labeling method and Giemsa stain, and the expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the model group. Protein expression of TLR2 on ECV-304 cell surface in the cultured supernatants was detected with flow cytometer. [Results] The intracellular growth of CPN can be found in ECV-304. The expression of TLR4 mRNA was undetectable, and high expression of TLR2 mRNA and TLR2 protein existed in ECV-304. Baicalin in high doses could lower the expression of TLR2 protein. [Conclusion] Baicalin has an inhibitory effect on the high expression of TLR2 protein in ECV-304 stimulated by CPN.
