Objective To investigate the distribution and synaptic connectivity of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity (IR) in Bullfrog retina, Rana Calesbeiana, especially in the inner plexiform layer. Methods Light microscopy immunofluorescence and post-embedding colloidal gold labeling electron microscopy techniques were employed in this study. Results NPY immunoreactivity was associated with a small population of amacrine cell bodies in the inner nuclear layer and cell processes, ramified with 3 distinct bands, in the inner plexiform layer. As for ultrastructure, quantitative analysis showed that NPY-IR amacrine cell processes were most often presynaptic to NPY negative amacrine cell processes (49.7%) and ganglion cell dendrites (49.3%). NPY-IR amacrine cells predominantly received synaptic input from bipolar cell axon terminals (86%), while a few input from other amacrine cell processes (14%). Conclusion NPY-IR in Bullfrog retina is mainly distributed in the inner part and predominately receives excitatory glutamate modulation from bipolar cells.

Objective To investigate the optimal surgical timing for rib internal fixation.Methods The clinical data of 143 patients with rib fracture were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into early phase fixation group (62 cases) and late phase fixation group (81 cases) according to the time from trauma to internal fixation.The ratio blood lose and body surface area,pulmonary complications and the changes of C reactive protein level before and 5 days after operation were recorded and compared.Results All the patients were healing.The median C reactive protein before operation in late phase fixation group was 45 mg/L,in early phase fixation group was 23 mg/L,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.01).The ratio blood lose and body surface area in early phase fixation group was (334.19 ± 37.53) ml/m2,the rate of pulmonary complications was 22.6％(14/61),in late phase fixation group was (438.99 ± 55.24) ml/m2 and 38.3％ (31/81),there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The median C reactive protein 5 days after operation in early phase fixation group was 189 mg/L,in late phase fixation group was 258 mg/L,there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Early phase (72 hours) rib internal fixation is expected to reduce patient trauma of systemic reactions,reduce the incidence of bleeding and pulmonary complications.

OBJECTIVE: A series of Bobath concept, Bobath theoretical hypothesis and clinical practice were summarized, to proVide a better understanding of Bobath concept involved in nervous tissues repairing and functional reconstruction. METHODS: Articles concerning the Bobath treatment for stroke-related literature were retrieved in Highwire press, MEDLINE, and Google from 2001 to 2009, using the key words of "Bobath concept, stroke physical therapy". Data of each study were extracted and analyzed following retrieval. Inclusion criteria:①Bobath concept and its theoretical hypothesis. ②New development of Bobath concept in clinical practice. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive studies. The results of retrieved literatura were analyzed. RESULTS: The theoretical basis of Bobath concept is based on present-day knowledge of motor control, motor learning, neural and muscle plasticity, and biomechanics. The latest theories and viewpoints are rasourced from International Bobath Instructors Training Association and the British Bobath Tutors Association. They expounded on the Bobath concept from linking participation, activities and underlying impairments, organization of human behavior and motor control, the consequences of injury and dysfunction in the execution of movement, neural and muscle plasticity, motor learning and so.
