Objective To investigate the effects of Acanthopanax Senticosus Injection (ASI) on free radical metabolism and apoptosis in the hepatic tissue after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 100 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham operation group, a model group, and groups of high-, medium- and low-dose ASI, 20 rats in each group. Seven days before modeling, the drugs had been given by intraperitoneal injection. The rats in the high-, medium- and low-dose groups were given ASI 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg, respectively, and the rats in the sham operation and model groups were given equivalent volume of normal saline. A rat model of hepatic ischemia reperfusion was induced by partial hepatic pedicle clamping followed by reperfusion. 2 h after reperfusion, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GST and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue were determined; the activities of ALT and AST in serum were also determined; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis were observed using the HE staining and the TUNEL staining, respectively.Results In comparison with the model group, the activities of SOD (11.16 ± 2.31 U/mg, 10.63 ± 1.92 U/mgvs.7.34 ± 1.78 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GSH-Px (15.48 ± 2..91 U/mg, 13.23 ± 1.87 U/mgvs. 10.35 ± 2.04 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GST(1.76 ± 0.25 U/mg, 1.55 ± 0.22 U/mgvs.0.94 ± 0.18 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05) in the hepatic tissue in the ASI high- and medium-dose groups were significantly increased; and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue significantly decreased (4.67 ± 1.24 nmol/mg, 4.93 ± 1.53 nmol/mgvs.10.29 ± 2.41 nmol/mg); the serum levels of ALT(671.82 ± 338.37 U/L, 803.91 ± 441.63 U/Lvs.1 416.22 ± 538.94 U/L;P<0.01 orP<0.05), AST(329.02 ± 161.88 U/L, 417.26 ± 182.37 U/Lvs.751.93 ± 262.75 U/L;P<0.01 or P<0.05) were significantly decreased; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis in the ASI high-, medium - and low-dose groups were significantly reduced.Conclusions ASI could effectively attenuate oxidative stress in the, improve the histopathological changes, inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis, and protect against hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

BACKGROUND: Attachment reflects the early social experience of infant, which plays an important role in later child development. Although most of the attachment develops between infant and mother, some may occur between infant and care giver or others who have close relationship with it.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the infant-mother attachment patterns and the factors related to infant attachment.DESIGN: It was a sampling investigation.SETTING: Department of Maternal and Child Health, School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 75 infants and their mother were selected randomly for this study in the Department of Child Health in Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital from August to October 2002.METHODS: Strange situation test (SST) was performed by 6 researchers who were trained systematically. They watched the videos collectively and classified the patterns of infant attschment based on their performance. The internal consistency coefficient was 0.90. For those inconsistent assessments, the video should be reviewed and discussed to get an accordant conclusion. In addition, a self-designed maternal questionnaire was used to investigate the general condition of the infant and the familial information.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Distribution of infant attachment patterns. ②Analysis of the risk factors related to infant attachment.RESULTS: All the 75 infants and their mother entered the statistical analysis. ①Distribution of the infant attachment patterns: In 75 infants, secure attachment was 65% and insecure attachment was 35%, among which,insecure-indifferent type was 18%, insecure-importunate type was 13%,and insecure-disorganized type was 4%. ②Analysis of the risk factors related to infant attachment Those infants with a younger age, a poor approachability (the response to strangers, new environment and objects), a closer relationship with caregiver and a more inconsistent education from the family members, are prone to develop insecure attachment.CONCLUSION: Secure attachment is dominant in infants. The security of attachment is related to the maturity and personality traits of the infants,the relationship between infant and caregiver and the educational approach for them.

Objective To investigate the effects of lipoprotein lipase activator, NO-1886, on the mRNA and protein expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in the kidney of diet-induced diabetic minipigs. Methods Fifteen Guangxi Bama minipigs were randomized into three groups: C group (n=5, with the normal control diet), DM group (n=5, with the high-fat and high-sucrose diet), and NO-1886 group (n=5, with the high-fat and high-sucrose diet supplemented with 1.0% NO-1886). Plasma glucose, insulin, tfiglyceride (TG), oral glucose tolerant test, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen were measured monthly. Urinary samples in the morning were used for determination of microalbumin at month 0, 2, 4 and 5. The mRNA and protein expression of GSK-3β were measured by real time PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry in the kidneys obtained at the end of month 5. Results Compared with the C group, levels of plasma glucose, insulin, triglyceride and mieroalbuminuria were significantly increased in the DM group. The mRNA and protein expression of GSK-3β were increased in the kidneys of diabetic pigs (mRNA 0.0272±0.0052, protein 1.1600±0.0463, P<0.01) as compared with those of normal pigs (mRNA 0.0125±0.0045, protein 0.1385±0.0664). Compared with the DM group, the concentrations of plasma glucose, insulin, triglyceride and mieroalbuminuria obviously decreased in the NO-1886 group. The mRNA and protein expression of GSK-3β were decreased in the kidneys of the NO-1886 group (mRNA 0.0162±0.0019, protein 0.8429±0.0408, P<0.05) as compared with that of the DM group. Conclusion NO-1886 can improve disorders of glucose and TG metabolism and insulin resistance, and down-regulate the expression of GSK-3β in the kidneys, and protect renal function and morphologie damage in diet-induced diabetic minipigs.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods From October 2015 to October 2016,one hundred and fifty-one elderly hypertensive patients treated in the Affiliated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technologywere selected as the observation group,and 151 healthy subjects in the same period were enrolled in the control group.The blood pressure measurement and cognitive function evaluation were given to analyze the influencing factors of elderly hypertensive patients with cognitive dysfunction.Results Diastolic pressure ((98.5 ±4.2) mmHg),systolic pressure ((157.6 ± 8.9) mmHg),pulse pressure ((59.1 ± 4.3) mmHg) and cognitive impairment rate(27.2％) in observation group were higher than those in the control group((82.7±3.6 mmHg,(122.4± 6.8) mmHg,(39.7 ± 2.5) mmHg,0.0％),the differences were statistically significant (t =4.951,5.868,8.128,P＜ 0.05).The language fluency ((2.5 ± 0.2) points),memory ability ((2.7 ± 0.4) points),visual spatial executive ability ((2.9±0.2) points),naming ability ((2.6±0.1 points),abstract generalization ability ((1.7±0.2) points),orientation ability ((5.0 ± 0.4) points),attention and calculation ability ((5.1 ±0.3) points),total score ((22.5±0.8) points)in observation group were lower than those in the control group ((2.8±0.1) points,(4.8 ± 0.2) points,(4.7 ± 0.3) points,(2.8 ± 0.2) points,(1.9 ± 0.1) points,(5.7 ±0.1) points,(5.7±0.2) points,(28.4±0.6) points) (t=4.202,10.778,9.206,3.769,4.173,4.405,4.278,5.727,P＜0.05).Diastolic pressure ((103.7 ± 2.5)mmHg),systolic pressure ((164.8 ±4.1) mmHg),pulse pressure((64.5± 1.6) mmHg)in patients with cognitive dysfunction were higher than those in patients without cognitive dysfunction ((92.6±2.8) mmHg,(145.7±3.9) mmHg,(46.3± 1.5) mmHg) (t =4.195,4.310,6.913,P＜0.05).Age distribution (≤65 years old in 9 cases,＞65 years old in 32 cases),BMI index distribution (≤24 kg/m2 in 11 cases,＞24 kg/m2 in 30 cases) in patients without cognitive dysfunction were better than those in patients with cognitive dysfunction ((≤ 65 yeas old in 64 cases,＞ 65 years old in 46 cases),(≤ 24 kg/m2 in 68 cases,＞ 24 kg/m2 in 42 cases)).The differences were statistically significant (x2 =15.700,14.657,P ＜ 0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that cognitive function in elderly hypertensive patients was related to age,BMI index,diastolic blood pressure and pulse pressure (OR (95％CI):4.265 (2.038 ～ 8.927),3.991 (1.956～8.142),3.294 (1.532 ～ 7.084),3.521 (1.640 ～ 7.561),5 (2.375 ～10.528);P=0.000).Condusion Age,BMI index,diastolic blood pressure,systolic blood pressure,pulse pressure are influencing factors in elderly hypertension patients with cognitive dysfunction.

Objective: To evaluate the association between nocturnal sleep duration and behavioral problems in Chinese school-age Children, and to provide reference for the development of recommended nocturnal sleep duration for school-age children. Methods: A total of 4 160 school-age children selected through cluster random sampling in Guangzhou urban areas. Caregivers reported children’s behavioral problems and sleep habits using parent version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and sleep quality questionnaires. Results: The average nocturnal sleep duration per day of school-age children is (9.07±0.76)h, the proportion of children having slept less than 9 h/d was 46%(1 912). There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of sleep duration among children with different chronotype and maternal education levels(P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in children’s sedentary behavior duration and nap duration at different sleep duration(P<0.05). The association between children’s nocturnal sleep duration and behavioral problems was typically nonlinear and U-shaped(P<0.05). The inflection points of nocturnal sleep duration for total difficulties, emotional problems, conduct problems and peer problems were 9.65, 9.25, 9.42 and 9.30 h, respectively. Conclusion Nocturnal sleep duration shows a nonlinear association with behavioral problems in school-age children. The optimal range of nocturnal sleep duration for mental health is between 9 to 10 hours and the problems of psychological behavior were the least among school-age children.

Objective: To understand literacy development of school-aged children of grade 2-5 and its influencing factors in Guangzhou,and to provide a reference for the reform of the teaching of Chinese subject. Methods: By using cluster sampling method, 1 661 school-age children from grade 2 to grade 5 from 5 primary schools in Guangzhou were selected. The self-designed questionnaire was used to obtain demographic data of the participants. The Primary School Literacy Assessment Scale and the Pupil Rating Scale Revised Screening for Learning Disabilities was used to evaluate the literacy and the cognitive characteristics of participants. Results: The average literacy of children of grade 2 to grade 5 in Guangzhou was as follows: grade 2 was (1 159±295), grade 3 was (1 919±394), grade 4 was (2 599±365), grade 5 was (2 947±303), higher than the norm(P<0.01). The average literacy of grade 2 students was lower than the national curriculum requirements while students of grade 3 to grade 5 met the requirements. Univariate analysis found differences in literacy among school-age children based on gender, reading experience before age 6, and parental education background (P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that grade (β=607.04), preschool reading experience (β=109.89), father’s education (β=27.14), language factor (β=27.21), social behavior (β=16.03) was positively correlated with literacy in boys (P<0.05). Grade (β=603.53), auditory comprehension and memory (β=29.39), language factor (β=16.74) was positively correlated with the literacy of girls (P<0.05), while time and orientation judgments were negatively correlated with the literacy of both boys (β=-18.95) and girls (β=-21.93) (P<0.05). Conclusion The literacy level of school-age children in grade 2 to 5 in Guangzhou has reached the national literacy requirements with students in grade 2 being relatively lower. Literacy is related to grade, preschool reading experience, father’s education, and child’s cognitive characteristics. Factors affecting literacy in boys and girls are different. Literacy education should vary according to gender.

Objective: This study aims to explore the influence of birth order and age difference on the emotional and behavioral problems among children from two-child family, so as to provide advice on parenting. Methods: A total of 482 students in grades 2 to 5 from the 5 primary schools in Guangzhou were selected, all of whom came from two-child families (excluding twin children). Emotional and behavioral problems were investigated by using the Conner’s Parental Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ). Results: Among children from two-child families, higher prevalence of behavioral problems, learning problems, impulsive hyperactivity and hyperactivity index in older compared with younger children (β=-0.09，-0.16，-0.09，-0.10,P<0.05). The scores of behavioral problems and hyperactivity index were significantly higher among those of children who were 6-9 years older than young siblings, compared to those who were 0-3 years older than younger siblings(β=0.20,0.21,P<0.05). No similar pattern was found among the younger siblings(P>0.05). Conclusion Among school-age children from two-child families, emotional and behavioral problems of the elder ones were more serious than the younger ones’. Age difference between siblings shows impact on the emotional and behavioral development among elder children, however no significant impact is noticed among the younger ones.
