Neural mass models are able to produce epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in different stages of seizures. The models play important roles in studying the mechanism analysis and control of epileptic seizures. In this study, the closed-loop feedback control was used to suppress the epileptic-form spikes in the neural mass models. It was expected to provide certain theory basis for the choice of stimulus position and parameter in the clinical treatment. With the influence of measurement noise taken into account, an unscented Kalman filter (UKF) was added to the feedback loop to estimate the system state and an UKF controller was constructed via the estimated state. The control action was imposed on the hyper-excitable population and all populations respectively in simulations. It was shown that both UKF control schemes suppressed the epileptic-form spikes in the model. However, the control energy needed in the latter scheme was less than that needed in the former one.

Objective To examine ultrastructural features of the arteriole responsible for intracerebral hemorrhage or the perforating branches artery around hematoma in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and explore the mechanism of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods Twelve hypertensive patients with CT proved intracerebral hemorrhage underwent operation. The small artery specimens were obtained through cortex fistula and their ultrastructures were observed under the electron microscope. Results Twelve specimens including 4 cases of duty arteriolae and 8 cases of perforating branch arteriolae were collected, Different degrees of degeneration were observed in three layers of the arteriola in all 12 specimens. Changes in endothelial cells included endothelial cell necrosis, collapse, or fallen of from endomembrane, accompanied by degeneration of internal elastic membrane, such as uneven thickness, absence of intermittent and medial smooth muscle cell necrosis. Myofilaments in the cytoplasm were condensed to form a high electron-dense cytoplasm. No micro-aneurysm was observed. Conclusions The pathological changes of cerebral small artery walls load-bearing layer in hypertensive patients include internal elastic layer rupture, smooth muscle layer of degeneration, decreased elasticity and increased fragility. Small artery walls may rupture, resulting in bleeding under the condition of rapid dynamic changes of blood flow.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of the bone morphologenetic protein 4 (BMP4)/Smad signaling pathway on the apoptosis of mouse primordial follicle oocytes .Methods Three-day-old Kunming mouse ovarine tissues were digested by the two-step enzymatic method to extract and purify oocytes .The cultured oocytes were divided into three groups: the normal culture medium (Con group), the medium with BMP4 (BMP4 group), and the medium with BMP4 and BMP4 inhibitor ( BMP4+inhibitor group ) .TUNEL was used to examine the effects of BMP 4 on the survival of the primordial follicle oocyte;Immunohistochemical staining and Real-time quantitative PCR were performed to investigate the expressions of p-Smad1/5/8, sohlh2, c-kit and foxo3a;siRNA interference, sohlh2 plasmid transfection and LY294002 treatments were performed to explore the mechanism of the BMP 4/Smad signaling pathway on the apoptosis of oocytes . Results TUNEL results demonstrated that the ratio of apoptotic oocytes in BMP 4 group was significantly lower than that in the Con group ( P <0.05 ) and the BMP4 +inhibitor group ( P <0.05 ); BMP4 significantly promoted the nuclear translocation of Smad and inhibited the nuclear translocation of foxo 3a, the mRNA and protein levels of sohlh2 and c-kit remarkably increased in BMP4 group.The effect of BMP4 on the oocyte survival was significantly repressed after sohlh 2 siRNA transfection.Sohlh2 overexpression up-regulated the expression of p-foxo3a, and this activity was abolished by LY 294002.Conclusion BMP4/Smad signaling pathway may inhibit primordial follicle oocyte apoptosis , via up-regulation of the expression of sohlh2 and c-kit, and then down-regulation of the nuclear translocation of foxo 3a.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for better improving the risk perception of Omeprazole sodium for injection in nurses in a third-grade class-A hospital,strengthening risk management of ward drugs and ensuring safety of patients. METHODS:Nurses in the clinical departments in a third-grade class-A hospital where usage frequency of Omeprazole sodium for injection was relatively more were adopted as study subjects and a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate on related knowledge on medication risk in nurses in emergency department,gastroenterology department,ICU and CCU in 2012 and 2014. RESULTS:51 and 81 questionnaires were distributed in 2012 and 2014,and 51 and 81 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%and 100%,respectively. In both surveys,100% surveyed nurses could correctly choose one solvent at least,1.96% and 3.70%nurses could correctly choose 2 solvents;correct answering rates of intravenous administration time were 94.12% and 96.30%,re-spectively;correct answering rates of stable duration after preparation were both lower than 9%;correct answering rates of adverse reaction of this drug were 3.92% and 1.23%,respectively;correct answering rates of interaction of this drug were 1.96% and 6.17%,respectively;correct answering rates of stable formulation of this drug were 17.65%and 22.22%,respectively;the propor-tion of nurses observing ADRs were 25.49% and 13.58%,respectively;the proportion of nurses finding inappropriate compatibility were 15.69% and 22.22%,respectively,Ornidazole and sodium chloride injection was the most used incompatible drug;45% or more nurses hoping to strengthen the continuing education of nursing personnel. CONCLUSIONS:Nurses in this third-grade class-A hospital lack certain knowledge on the medication risk of Omeprazole sodium for injection,the drug risk management is not sufficient,and awareness prevention of drug risk is relative weak. It is suggested that the hospital should strengthen drug risk management system,nurses should strengthen the learning about drug risk and play the role of clinical pharmacists in the drug risk management to reduce the related drug risk and incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the validity of lipoprotien(a) [Lp(a)] concentration as diagnostic test for coronary heart disease (CHD) and stegnotic degree of coronary artherosclerosis. Methods 416 cases of patients who were assessed with coronary angiography were divided into four groups according to the stegnotic degree of coronary artherosclerosis. There were no stenosis and lipid plaque group, single branch group, double branch group, three branch and suffusive stenosis group. TC, HDL - C, LDL - C, ApoAl, ApoB, Lp(a) were examined in early morning fasting for 12 hours after the next admission day. Other risk factors were also recorded, such as hypertension. Results When Lp(a) concentration was used alone to diagnose CHD, the best cutoff value was 15 mg/dl. The crude agreement was 58.2% , the sensitivity was 57.5% , and the specificity was 59.3% . Along with the stegnotic degree of coronary artherosclerosis heavier, the levels of the crude agreement and the sensitivity had a indreasing trend,and levels of the false negative rate had a deoreasing trend. Conclusion The validity of Lp(a) concentration as diagnostic test for CHD is not satisfactory.
