Objective:To estabhish rat model of epilepsy induced by the Lithium-repeated low-dose pilocarpine.Methods:A totol of 173SD male rats were divided into the normal control group,seizure-induced group and Chloral Hydrate group randomly.Lithium chloride was injected at a dose of 3 mEq/kg intraperitoneally(ip) 19h prior to the administration of pilocarpine.Rats were injected with pilocarpine,10mg/kg ip,every 30min,and this injection was repeated for 2~4 times.We then determined the rat activity,EEG,the percentage of rats exhibiting status epilepticus(SE),the mortality rate,the proportion of rats developing spontaneous seizures,the latency for the first spontaneous motor seizure,and the frequency of the spontaneous recurrent seizures.Results:The lithium-repeated low-dose pilocarpine resulted in SE after 1~4 injections;the average period between seizure and injection was 16min and the success rate was 73%.The mean dose of pilocarpine needed to induce SE was 25.9mg/kg.When SE was interrupted after 90min,mortality rate was below 10%,Spontaneous seizure occurred 2.4~5.7 times a day averagely,and average latency to the first spontaneous seizure was approximately 40days.All seizure incidence was over level Ⅲ and most were level Ⅳ/Ⅴ;EEG was similar to that of human temporal epilepsy;seizure of rats in control group was level 0.Conclusion:Lithium-repeated low-dose pilocarpine induced rats model of epilepsy is characterized by easy building,with high successful rate and lower mortality of the animal.This model has mimic features of human status epilepticus and temporal epilepsy in seizure behavior and electroencephalographic findings.

Objective To investigate the correlation between mechanical ventilation (MV) initiation time during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the prognosis of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in emergency . Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients with IHCA in emergency from January 2011 to April 2016 treated in Zhangye People's Hospital of Hexi University was performed. Patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and were on MV with aged over 18 years were divided into early treated group (≤ 10 minutes) and later treated group (> 10 minutes) according to the initiation time of MV. Corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses and motor response 24 hours after CPR, neurological function and cure rate of the two groups were analyzed. Results 210 patients were selected into our study including 130 males and 80 females (mean age: 60.24±13.17 years). There were no significant differences in gender, age, type of heart rate and etiological factor of cardiac arrest (CA) between the MV early stage group (124 cases) and the MV late stage group (86 cases). The restoration of corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses, motor response and achievement ratio of CPR in early group were higher than those of later group (respectively, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 70.16% vs. 51.16%, all P < 0.01); The D-dimer levels in the early group patients were significantly lower than those in the later group (μg/L: 478.39±57.21 vs. 510.05±62.83, P < 0.01). However, no statistical difference was observed between the two groups with respect to pH (7.24±0.72 vs.7.13±0.67, P > 0.05); The average hospitalized day of the early group was significantly shorter than that of the later group (days: 24.15±3.04 vs. 30.28±4.17, P < 0.01); Besides, the early group showed a higher survival rate at discharge and had more cases with neurologic level of grade 1-2 than those of the later group (Respectively, 41.94% vs. 26.74%, P < 0.05; 44.35% vs. 15.12%, P < 0.01). Conclusion Initiation MV on IHCA patients in the early stage of CPR (≤ 10 minutes) could help improve the hypoxic condition and prognosis of neurological function, and increase the achievement ratio of CPR.

The microarray technology used in biological and medical research provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. To find different types of cancer and to classify the cancer samples accurately, we propose a new cluster ensemble framework Dual Neural Gas Cluster Ensemble (DNGCE), which is based on neural gas algorithm, to discover the underlying structure of noisy cancer gene expression profiles. This framework DNGCE applies the neural gas algorithm to perform clustering not only on the sample dimension, but also on the attribute dimension. It also adopts the normalized cut algorithm to partition off the consensus matrix constructed from multiple clustering solutions. We obtained the final accurate results. Experiments on cancer gene expression profiles illustrated that the proposed approach could achieve good performance, as it outperforms the single clustering algorithms and most of the existing approaches in the process of clustering gene expression profiles.

AIM:To study the protectective effect of bacalin on myocardial ischemia in isolated rat heart and its mechanism.METHODS:Thirty six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups.The heart of rats in control group(n=12)were perfused for 1 h and 50 min incessantly.The heart of rats in ischemia group(n=12)received 25 min of perfusion first and then subjected to 25 min of global ischemia followed by 1 h reperfusion.The heart of rats in baicalin group(n=12)received 5 min perfusion of 5 mg/L)baicalin before ischemia while other procession was the same as ischemia group.The hemodynamic measurement and the coronary flow were recorded.The levels of CK and LDH in the coronary effluent were detected.The expression of p38mapk,NF-?B and the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 in myocardium were respectively detected by immumohistochemical technique and ELISA.RESULT:The function of hearts treated with baicalin was improved significantly,and the level of LDH and CK of coronary effluent were decreased significantly compared with ischemia group.The level of TNF-? and IL-6 and the expression of p38mapk and NF-?B in myocardium also decreased observably compared with ischemia group.CONCLUSION:Baicalin has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia of isolated rat heart and the effect may be due to the decrease of TNF-? and IL-6 induced by the reduction of the expression of p38mapk and NF-?B.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Lipo PGE combined with Shuxuetong injection in treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Methods The 68 DPN patients were randomly divided into treatment group with Lipo PGE plus Shuxuetong injection and comparison group with Shuxuetong alone. The treatment period was 14 days. Results The pain, numbness,paresthesia and other symptoms in the limbs of patients were significantly reduced in treatment group than in comparison group (P＜0. 01). At the same time, the conduction velocity of median nerve and sural nerve was significantly increased in treatment group after treatment (P＜0.05), there were no significant differences in comparison group before and after the treatment. Conclusions The treatment of DPN with Lipo PGE combined with Shuxuetong injection is safe and effective.
