Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2013;22(8):688-691
Objective To explore the effects and mechanisms of escitalopram on the expression of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) in hippocampus of depression model rats.Methods 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group(group A),control + escitalopram group (group B),depressive group (group C),and depressive + escitalopram group (group D).Chronic mild unpredicted stress (CUMS)with solitary condition was taken to establish rat depression model.And the group B and D were treated with intragastric admistration of escitalopram(10 mg · kg-1 · d-1),the group A and C with sodium chloride.The open-field test and sucrose consumption were used to evaluate the depression behaviors of rats.The apoptotic hippocampal cells were detected by TUNEL.And the expression of GDNF,Bax,Bcl-2 and Caspase3 mRNA were detected by real-time RT-PCR.Results ① Compared with group A(12.0 ± 1.83),the number of apoptotic cells in hippocampus was significantly increased in group C (19.3 ± 1.77) (P < 0.01),while group B (11.9 ± 1.91) was no significant difference (P> 0.05).Compared with group C,the group D(12.7 ± 1.77) had a significant reduction in the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.01).②Compared with group A,GDNF and Bcl-2 mRNA expression was decreased (P < 0.01),but Bax and Caspase3 mRNA expression was both increased significantly in group C(P<0.01) ;while in group D,GDNF and Bcl-2 mRNA expression was higher (P <0.01),but Bax and Caspase3 mRNA expression was lower than that in group C (P <0.01).Conclusion Escitalopram can improve depressive behaviors and reduce hippocampal apoptosis,which maybe associate with increasing GDNF protein and mRNA expression,and promoting the regeneration of neurons,up-regulating of mRNA Bcl-2 expression,and down-regulating of mRNA Bax and Caspase3 expression.Finally it may prevent the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal and play the role of cerebral protection.

Objective To analyse the clinical usage of Shenmai injection, promote the rational use of Shenmai injection. Methods 400 hospital medical records that used Shenmai injection in 2015 were collected and reviewed from hospital information system (HIS) by retrospective analysis method, aggregated and evaluated data by EXCEL. Results In 400 cases, 11 clinical departments used the Shenmai injection, mainly in cardiology of 347 cases(86.75%).The percentage of the non-standard clinical application of Shenmai injection was 84 cases (21.00%). The non-standardized rates of solvent dispensing was 287 cases (71.75%), and the specification incompatibility accounted for 105 cases (26.25%). There was no adverse drug reaction of Shenmai injection. Conclusion The clinical use of Shenmai injection is not yet standardized, which suggests that drugs should be strictly used in accordance with the instruction, in order to avoid risks of off-label use.

Objective To investigate the effects of ultrashortwave (USW) diathermy and electrical stimulation (ES) used in combination with nerve growth factor (NGF) in the treatment of experimental sciatic nerve injury.Methods Sixty adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal control group, a model group, an NGF group,a physiotherapy group and a combined treatment group. A model of sciatic nerve injury was established in the latter four groups. Beginning on the 2nd day after the operation, no treatment was given in the model group, NGF was injected in the NGF group, diathermy and ES were administrated to rats in the physiotherapy group, and the combined treatment group was treated with USW diathermy, EW and NGF. Function, electrophysiology and morphology were evaluated at the 2nd, 7th, 14th and 30th days after the operation Results The average sciatic nerve function index (SFI), nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and nerve regeneration in the NGF, physiotherapy and combined treatment groups were significantly better than in the model group, with those in the combined treatment group improved to the greatest extent. At the 30th day there was no significant difference between the combined treatment group and the normal control group in terms of SFI, NCV, axon regeneration or myelin sheath thickness. The number of myelinated nerve fibers and the average axon diameter in the combined treatment group and normal control group were significantly higher than those in the model, NGF or physiotherapy group. Conclusions With NGF injection, additional application of USW diathermy and ES may significantly enhance the regeneration of the sciatic nerve and aid functional recovery after injury.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of escape motivation and flow experience between frustration and online game addiction.Methods:Stratified cluster sampling method was used to randomly select 740 students from 5 universities in Beijing.Frustrate mental state scale (FMSS), escape subscale of online game motivation scale (OGMS), game flow scale (GFS), and the game addiction subscale of different types of internet addiction scale (DTIAS) were used for investigation. SPSS 25.0 software and PROCESS macro program model 6 were used to analyze the data and test the mediation effect.Results:Frustration (62.94±15.84) was positively correlated with escape motivation(6.89±2.34), flow experience(20.36±7.38), and online game addiction(16.05±6.62) ( r=0.30, 0.19, 0.39, all P<0.01). Escape motivation was positively correlated with flow experience and online game addiction ( r=0.51, 0.50, both P<0.01), while flow experience was positively correlated with online game addiction ( r=0.51, all P<0.01). The direct effect of frustration on game addiction was 0.23 (95% CI=0.17-0.30). Frustration indirectly affects game addiction through two paths. The single mediating effect of escape motivation was 0.07 (95% CI=0.05-0.11), and the chain mediating effect of escape motivation and flow experience was 0.05 (95% CI=0.04-0.08). Conclusion:Frustration not only directly affects online game addiction, but also indirectly affects online game addiction through escape motivation and flow experience.

Objective:To investigate the role of saturated free fatty acids (SFFAs) in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by determining the effects of FFAs on diacylglycerol (DAG) synthesis and protein kinase C (PKC) activity in cultured bovine aortic smooth muscle cells. Methods:Bovine aortic smooth muscle cells, cultured in vitro, were treated with 200 ?mol/L SFFAs (including palmitate and stearate) and unsaturated FFAs (including oleate and arachidonate) separately for 24 h. Then the cells were lysed and the lipids were treated with lysis buffer and separation buffer. DAG level and PKC activity were calculated through measuring the radioactivity of 32P-PA by liquid scintillation counting (1 cpm=6.17?108 Bq). Results:Incubation of the cells with saturated FFAs(palmitate or stearate, 200 ?mol/L, for 24 h) induced significant increase in DAG concentrations (927.2 and 1 533.3 pmol/106 cells by palmitate and stearate, respectively) compared with that of the control cells (190 pmol/106 cells,P
