Objective: To study the characteristics of P300 and topographic dist ribution mapping in obsessive-compulsive patients. Methods: The P300 and topog raphic distribution mapping were recorded in 36 patients, using a Bneuro Galileoinstrument. Results: Compared with normal subjects, the wa ve patterns of obsessi ve-compulsive patients were unstable; the frontal wave variation and dissymmetry between the two sides was 63.9%; the N2 and P3 latency was prolonged; the P2 an d P3 amplitude was decreased; the P3 topographic distribution mapping was uneven ly distributed, the normal high amplitude in the parietal region was absent. For the patient group, energy levels below grade 5 in the left brain area, the fron tal area, and for both were 42.3%, 30.3%, 15.15% respectively. Conclu sion: P300 and topographic distribution might be served as an objective index for reflectin g cognitive activity in obsessive-compulsive patients.

This paper aims to establish an accurate finite element model of complete lumbar spine with complex lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), and then to do comparison and analysis of normal model and decompression surgery model. Firstly, we chose some patients with complex LSS and then collected the CT scanned data. Then we generated a complete FE model of Lumbar with complex LSS using a specially designed modeling system, and we also created a normal lumbar model and a decompression treated model. We applied same boundary conditions in all the three models. The results showed that the active movement range of complex LSS was smaller than that of the normal model, but the movement range of the decompression model was larger than that of the normal. There are stress concentration around the endplate and disk at the degenerative intervertebral? disk L4-L5 and adjacent disk L3-L4 for LSS model, and the stress of the decompression model increased more significantly. This simulation demonstrated that the treatment of simple decompression for lumbar spine with complex LSS can release the pain, but may result in unstability and accelerate the degeneration.

Objective To investigate the implementation situation of scientific research projects in large general hospital,analyze the quantitative evaluation parameters to explore the improvement measures.Methods Sampling survey of all levels of research projects from one general hospital in Shanghai.Based on parameter index quantization,the progress of projects in different levels was com pared and analyzed.Results The progress index and achievement index are reliable quantitative indexes,and there is a linear correlation between these two indexes.Based on progress index,forecast for SCI publication of project can be carried out.There was no significant difference in the progress situa tion of all levels of projects.Higher level of project showed better SCI publication.Conclusions For the process management of scientific research projects at different levels,the quantitative indexes can be used to facilitate the early warning and supervision.Classified assessment should be implied to SCI publication for research projects at different levels.

Aim To study the potential molecular anti-inflammatory mechanism of Aconitum tanguticum based on network pharmacology methods,molecular docking technology and cell experiment. Methods The active ingredients targets and disease targets of Aconitum tanguticum were collected through literature and database. The common targets were utilized by mixture of them and the core targets were obtained by constructing the protein protein interaction(PPI)network. Then the component-target-disease network diagram was constructed. The gene ontology(GO)analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)analysis were performed for common targets. AutoDock Vina(1.1.2)software was utilized for combining some of the core targets and the diterpenoid alkaloids in the chemical components of Aconitum tanguticum. Finally,the influence of alcoholic extract of Aconitum tanguticum(ATS)on RAW264.7 cell inflammation model was preliminarily verified by MTT assay,Griess reagent and realtime RT-PCR. Results A total 17 main active ingredients were obtained from literature and 284 common targets were obtained via intersecting with disease targets. Altogether 108 pathways were screened by KEGG enrichment,mainly including PI3K-Akt,Ras,MAPK and HIF-1. Molecular docking results indicated that the active ingredients of Aconitum tanguticum had a high affinity with the core target to be docked. In vitro experiment suggested that ATS treatment inhibited LPS-induced NO production and iNOS mRNA in RAW264.7 cells. Realtime RT-PCR detection suggested that ATS played an anti-inflammatory effect by regulating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions Aconitum tanguticum exerts anti-inflammatory effects through PI3K-Akt pathways,which provides the scientific basis for better promoting the development of Aconitum tanguticum.
