Objective To study The effect of a early systemic psycho-rehabilitation intervention on patients with post-stroke depression.Methods 80 patients with post-stroke depression were randomly divided into test group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by Hamilton's Depression Scale (HAMD).They were treated conventionally by neurologist. The patients in test group were added systemic psychological intervention administered by psychologist and movement training administered by professional physiatrician. And then the scores to HAMD and CNFDS (clinical neurological functional defect scoring) between two groups were evaluated until 2 weeks or 4 weeks later. Results Nerve function of the both groups was improved,and score to HAMD in the test group was less than that in control group (P

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of rosuvastatin on expression of liver X receptor(LXR) and caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL).Methods The human monocyte-macrophage cells were divided into six groups:control group,ox-LDL group,different doses of rosuvastatin group (0.01 μmol/L,0.1 μmol/L,1 μmol/L,5 μmol/L).The expression of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA were assayed by RT-PCR.Results LXR mRNA expression induced by ox-LDL in the control group and ox-LDL group were 1.00 ± 0.02,0.26 ± 0.02,and the difference was significant (t =56.39,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,caveolin-1 mRNA expression in ox-LDL is (0.27 ± 0.01) fold than that in control (t =31.27,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,There were significant differences among ox-LDL group and the different doses of rosuvastatin group in terms of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (F =72.154,66.007,P ＜ 0.001).Along with the increase the doses of rosuvastatin,there was an increased trends of LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Rosuvastatin and upregulated the LXR mRNA and caveolin-1 mRNA expressions in a dose dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the status of fatigue and depression and their influencing factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and analyse the correlation of fatigue, depression and self-management behavior. Methods 113 patients were investigated by using Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Coronary artery disease Self-management Scale (CSMS). Results The score of fatigue was (4.59±1.93)points, while depression scored (5.05±1.48)points and self-management behavior scored (57.29 ±8.29)points; the score of fatigue, depression of female patients were higher than that of male patients, which had statistical difference(t=2.535-5.894, P<0.05);Regression analysis showed that gender, time of illness, number of other chronic diseases were major factors affecting fatigue while gender and treatment method were major factors affecting depression; there were negative ralationships between self-management and fatigue, self-management and depression (r=-0.855-0.682). Conclusions Fatigue, depression are common in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and can affect their self-management behavior, and the female patients are more susceptible to fatigue and depression.

Objective To investigate the effects,mechanisms,and the optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan on expression of caveolin-1 in cultured human monocyte-macrophage cells which were induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL).Methods Human-monocyte cells were separated and changed into the human monocyte-macrophage cells.The model of amerosclerosis was set up.These cells were incubated in different doses of Rosuvastatin(0.1,1.0,5.0 μmol/L) and Losartan (10,50,100 μmol/L),and then cultured in combination of two drags (5.0 μmol/L + 100 μmol/L).Expression of caveolin-1 mRNA was determined with real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results In ox-LDL group,caveolin-1 mRNA was decreased sharply relative to control group [(0.2533 ±0.00973) vs (0.9410 ±0.03677)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜0.01).Compared to ox-LDL group,expressions of Caveolin-1 mRNA were increased gradually in different doses of Rosuvastatin alone and Losartan alone group [(0.5198 ± 0.04840),(0.6183 ± 0.06740),(0.7257 ± 0.03052) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973) ; (0.3350 ± 0.04177),(0.4428 ± 0.03804),(0.6049 ± 0.02627) vs (0.2533 ± 0.00973)] in a concentration-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.01) ; the summit expressions of caveolin-1 mRNA were emerged in using Rosuvastatin and Losartan together (F =59.119,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions Rosuvastatin and Losartan may be responsible for the expression of caveolin-1 in human monocyte-macrophage cells that were induced by ox-LDL.The expressions were up-regulated with dose dependent manner of these drugs,and got the crest stage when using optimum doses of Rosuvastatin and Losartan together.

Objective To determine the relationship between cigarette smoking and the incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus.Methods Database including Cochrane Library,Pubmed,OVID and Elsevier were electronically searched to collect case-control and cohort studies on the relationship between cigarette smoking and incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus.The literatures were screened and the data were extracted independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.The quantitative analysis were performed by using Stata 12.0 software.Results The pooled OR values (95％ confidence interval)of current smoking and ever smoking were 1.82 (95％CI 1.42～2.34) and 1.22 (95％CI 0.96～1.56) respectively.Conclusions Our Meta-analysis revealed a moderate but statistically significant association between current smoking and development of systemic lupus erythematosus.However,it is still not confirmed whether the past smoking is one of the risk factors of systemic lupus erythematosus.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare folic acid(FA)-loaded vincristine(VCR)nano liposome(VCR-nLip-FA)and to study its effects on human liver and lung cancer cells. METHODS:VCR-nLip-FA was prepared by ammonium sulfate gradient method,and particle size,Zeta-potential,encapsulation rate and release rate were investigated. Taking human liver cancer HepG2 cells and lung cancer A549 cells as example,uptake rate and inhibitory effect in vitro (5-80 μg/ml) were compared between VCR-nLip-FA and VCR-nLip. RESULTS:The particle size distribution,average particle size,average Zeta-potential,average encapsulation rate and 24 h accumulative release rate of VCR-nLip-FA were 98.1-159.0 nm,132.2 nm,-40.1 mV,(86.6±3.5)%(n=4)and(42.2± 2.6)%. Compared with VCR-nLip,there was no statistical significance in uptake rate of A549 cells to VCR-nLip-FA and inhibitory effect of VCR-nLip-FA on A549 cell viability (P>0.05);uptake rate of HepG2 cells to VCR-nLip-FA and inhibitory effect of VCR-nLip-FA on HepG2 cell viability increased significantly (P<0.01),in dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS:Prepared VCR-nLip-FA can target anti-tumor drug to HepG2 cells efficiently,and highly inhibit the growth of HepG2 cells. But it has no higher effects on A549 cells.

Objective To evaluate the inhibitory activity of Herba Taraxaci extract on Escherichia coli DH5α (E. coli DH5α) and to investigate proteomic response of E. coli. Methods Medicinal powder of Herba Taraxaci was extracted with the solvents of different polarity ( n-hexane, ethyl acetate, distilled water) , and then the obtained 8 different extracts were subjected to thin layer chromatography ( TLC) analysis. Microdilution method was performed to detect the minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC) of different extracts and the growth curves were described. The protein expression profiles of E . coli treated with the extracts were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis ( SDS-PAGE) and two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) . Results Water decoction of Herba Taraxaci could obviously suppress the growth of E. coli with a MIC of 1.95 mg/mL. The different extractions exhibited no antibacterial activity except ethyl acetate phase 3 with a MIC of 0.13 mg/mL, which was equal to 19.23 mg/mL of crude drugs. The results of TLC analysis showed that chlorogenic acid was undetectable in n-hexane extract and ethyl acetate phase 1 extract, and ethyl acetate phase 2 and 3 extracts showed obviously increased spots. The results of SDS-PAGE and 2-DE showed that water decoction of Herba Taraxaci had inhibitory effect on the expression of functional protein. The results of 2-DE showed that after treatment with ethyl acetate phase 3 at the concentration of 2 × MIC for 21 hours, the amount of protein spots were 92 less than those of the blank control group, the spots of E. coli DH5α soluble protein with expression amount down-regulated doubly were 24, and those with expression amount up-regulated doubly were 19. Ethyl acetate phase 3 extract had an effect on down-regulating the protein expression of E. coli DH5α soluble protein pH3-10, and water decoction of Herba Taraxaci had inhibitory effect on E. coli DH5αprotein expression. Conclusion Herba Taraxaci has significant antibacterial activity on E. coli DH5α, and the water-soluble fraction of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid might be the active components. The possible antibacterial mechanism may be related with the regulation of bacterial protein expression.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of intelligence of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods 60 ADHD children were estimated with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-fourth edition (WISC-Ⅳ). Results The full scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) and 4 indices of ADHD children were lower than the average (P<0.05). All the subtests scores of ADHD children were lower than the average (P<0.05) except decoding. Conclusion The general intelligence and abilities of verbal comprehension, reasoning,working memory and operation speed are in the normal range in ADHD children, but poorer than normal children.

BACKGROUND:Poststroke depression is one of the most common psychological behavior disorders after stroke and its mechanism remains unclear. Studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in neurogenesis and synaptogenesis may play an important role in psychology diseases. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression of miR-137 in the blood and brain of poststroke depression rats and its effect on the behaviors of rats. METHODS:Thirty-six rats were equal y divided into six groups:control, model, agomir-137, agomir-NC, agomir-137+Grin2A and agomir-137+vector groups. Control group had no treatment. Poststroke depression models were established by ligation of middle cerebral artery and chronic mild stimulation in the latter four groups fol owed by receiving an injection of nothing, agomir-137, agomir-NC, LV-CMV-Grin2A or control plasmids into the left lateral ventricle, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We found significantly lower miR-137 levels in the brain and peripheral blood of post-stroke depression rats compared with normal rats. Vertical scores and horizontal scores on the behavior test were significantly higher in the agomir-137 group than the agomir-NC and model groups at 3 weeks after cerebral ischemia;while, sucrose consumption percentage was also higher in the agomir-137 group at the end of 2 weeks after cerebral ischemia. Luciferase assays showed miR-137 bound to the 3’ UTR of Grin2A, regulating Grin2A expression in a neuronal cel line. Grin2A gene overexpression in the brain of post-stroke depression rats noticeably suppressed the inhibitory effect of miR-137 on post-stroke depression. Overal , these findings show that miR-137 suppresses Grin2A protein expression through binding to Grin2A mRNA, thereby exerting an inhibitory effect on post-stroke depression and offering a new therapeutic target for poststroke depression.
