Objective To observe the effect of Fujian Tablets(FT),a prescription with the actions of nourishing liver and kidney,on the expression of microtubule-associated protein 2(MAP-2) in cerebral infarction rats at different time points,and to explore its mechanism on promoting nerve cell differentiation.Methods A total of 240 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into normal control group,sham-operation group,model group and FT group.Focal cerebral ischemia models were established by occlusion of the middle cerebral artery according to the reformed Longa method in rats,and were subdivided into 3-,7-,14-,28-,and 42-day cerebral infarction subgroups.FT group was given FT in the dose of 9 g?kg-1?d-1,and the other groups were given the same dose of distilled water.Results In the model group,MAP-2 expression in the hippocampus increased and reached a peak on day 3,which were notably different from that in the normal control group(P0.05).In FT group,MAP-2 expression increased on day 3,reached a peak on day 7,remained high level till day 14,and then decreased,the difference being significant compared with the model group(P

Objective To explore the rehabilitation effect of group education intervention in self-control on schizophrenic patients. Methods 112 schizophrenic patients were divided into study group (56 cases) and control group (56 cases). Two groups were treated with antipsychotics. The control group was subjected to general healthy education, while the study group received education intervention of self-control. All patients of two groups were assessed by Self-care Behavior Questionnaire(SCBQ), Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS) and Social Disability Screening Schedule(SDSS) before and affter intervention, and drug-compliance was also assessed.Results After one year, the total score of SCBQ was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group, while the total scores of BPRS and SDSS were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.01); Drug-compliance was significantly more in the study group than in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Group education intervention of self-control can improve distinctly the ability of self-control disease, have positive effect on remission psychical symptom, and improve the social function and retention psychosomatic healthy.

Objective To find frontal lobe-amygdala functional connections in different age paragraph female patients with bipolar disorder. Methods The FMRI date were acquired from 30 patients with bipolar disorder aged 13 to 25 years old and 30 age-and education level-and gender-matched health controls.FMRI was also conducted on 30 patients with bipolar disorder aged 26 to 45 years old and 30 age-and education level-and gender-matched health controls.The date was calculated by using MATLAB based DPARSF software. Results Compared with corresponding health controls, the lobe-amygdala functional connections significantly decreased in patients aged 13 to 25 years but remained unchanged in patients aged 26 to 45 years old. Conclusions The decrease in the frontal lobe-amygdala functional connections decreased in female patients aged 13 to 25 years old may be related to the underdevelopment in vulnerable immature brain.In contrast, the frontal lobe-amygdala functional connections in female patients aged 26 to 45 years old remain intact.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of the South African herb Hoodia gordonii （HG） on glucolipid metabolism in diabetic db/db mice and explore the possible mechanisms of HG on the liver of db/db mice based on the phosphoinositide-3 kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/factor forkhead protein O1 （FoxO1） signaling pathway. MethodA total of 30 db/db mice were randomly divided into five groups according to fasting blood glucose： model group， metformin group （0.195 g·kg^-1）， and low dose （0.39 g·kg^-1）， medium dose （0.78 g·kg^-1）， and high dose （1.56 g·kg^-1） HG groups， with six m/m mice in each group， and another six m/m mice were set as normal group. The mice in the normal and model groups were given saline of 9 mL·kg^-1 by gavage. Body weight， water intake， and fasting blood glucose of the mice in each group were measured weekly. After six weeks of continuous administration， serum insulin （FINS）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL）， total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， urea， and creatinine （CREA） were measured， and liver sections were embedded and stained with hematoxylin-eosin （HE）， periodic acid-Schiff （PAS）， and oil red O. Protein expression of PI3K p85， p-Akt， and p-FoxO1 in liver was detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of PI3K， Akt， and FoxO1 in liver tissue was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultAfter six weeks of administration intervention， it was found that fasting blood glucose was significantly downregulated in mice in the three HG groups （P<0.05）. The level of islet resistance index was significantly reduced in both the low and medium dose HG groups （P<0.05）. The expression levels of TC， TG， and LDL were reduced in all HG groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Pathologically， HG could alleviate hepatocyte steatosis， reduce the volume and content of lipid droplets in liver， and increase the distribution of glycogen granules in liver to some extent in mice. Immunohistochemical assays revealed that PI3K p85 protein expression was significantly increased in the low， medium， and high dose HG groups compared with the model group （P<0.01）. p-Akt protein expression was significantly increased in the medium and high dose HG groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. p-FoxO1 protein expression was significantly increased in the low， medium， and high dose HG groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， PI3K mRNA was increased in low dose， medium dose， and high dose HG groups （P<0.05）， and Akt mRNA was increased in high dose HG group （P<0.05）. FoxO1 mRNA was decreased in low dose， medium dose， and high dose HG groups （P<0.05）. ConclusionHG can ameliorate the disorder of glucolipid metabolism in db/db mice， which may be related to its activation of the hepatic PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway.
