Objective To study clinical features of severe craniocerebral injuries complicated by upper cervical vertebral injuries so as to have a deeper understanding and higher vigilantness. Methods Twenty-nine cases of severe craniocerebral injuries complicated by upper cervical vertebral injuries were clinically analyzed. Results Injury causes included traffic accident in 26 cases, fall in one, rolling down in one and mine collapse in one. Treatment results showed that 16 cases survived and 13 died. As for Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score, two cases were ranked at grade Ⅴ, seven at grade Ⅳ, six at grade Ⅲ, one at grade Ⅱ and 13 at grade Ⅰ. Conclusions The severe craniocerebral injuries complicated by upper cervical vertebral injuries are critical and complex mainly because the severe craniocerebral injuries can be paid more attention and diagnosed and treated early while the upper cervical vertebral injuries are easy to be neglected, as gives rise to missed injuries, lack of timely management and high mortality. Therefore, various severe complications are liable for deaths.

Objective To probe the different expression of psychomotor in different model of pretreatment and the influence of pretreatment context on the expression of psychomotor.And to compare dopaminergic and non-dopaminergic neuron activity in midbrain after different pretreatment.Methods Rats were pretreated by escalated high-dose morphine( HD group) ,fixed low-dose morphine( LD group) and saline as control(S group).After withdrawal, rats were challenged by morphine in non-drug used environment.Locomotor behavior and stereotypy behavior were monitored as the index of compulsive drug-seeking motivation.By double labeling immunohistochemistry of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and Fos protein, the plasticity of neuronal activity in ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra of rats response to morphine challenge were disclose after pretreated with morphine or saline.Results After 10 mg/kg morphine challenge in non-drug used environment,the locomotor behavior and the stereotypy behavior of HD group were both significant higher than that of S group ( Locomotor behavior and Stereotypy behavior,HD group: 26907 ± 2003 and 129.6 ± 6.5; S group: 14962 ± 1888 and 89.9 ± 10.9, all P ＜ 0.01 ).The results of immunohistochemistry showed that Fos protein expressed in the SNr and in lateral SNr was significantly higher in the HD group compared to S groups ( Fos expression in SNr and lateral SNr,HD group: 29.14 ±5.27 and 9.83 ± 2.84; S group: 17.29 ± 1.51 and 2.06 ±0.45; all P＜0.05 ).Conclusion The sensitization behavior expression of the rat pretreated by escalated high-dose morphine is not modulated by drug using enviroment compared with fixed low-dose morphine pretreatment.The neuroplasticity of SNr,especially lateral SNr might be one of the mechanisms underlying the uncontroled sensitization behavior expression.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of melittin on the expressions of mitochondria membrane protein 7A6, cell apoptosis-related gene products Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) in hepatocarcinoma cells in vitro and to study the mechanisms of melittin in inducing apoptosis of hepatocarcinoma cells. METHODS: BEL-7402 cell line was treated with melittin in vitro. The expressions of mitochondria membrane protein 7A6, cell apoptosis-related gene products Fas and FasL were detected by flow cytometry. Fas and FasL mRNAs were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. RESULTS: The expression rates of mitochondria membrane protein 7A6 of BEL-7402 hepatocarcinoma cells in 8, 16, 32 microg/ml melittin-treated and control groups were 4.89%, 17.74%, 11.45% and 1.02%, respectively. The expression of Fas protein was up-regulated by melittin, while FasL expression did not change. RT-PCR results showed that Fas mRNA expression was up-regulated by 32 microg/ml melittin and FasL mRNA expression was not observed. CONCLUSION: The effects of melittin in inducing hepatocarcinoma cell apoptosis may be related with up-regulating the expressions of mitochondria membrane protein 7A6 and Fas protein.

Objective To study the CT findings of struma ovarii(SO)and improve the understanding of SO imaging features. Methods CT images of 6 cases were retrospectively reviewed.CT plain scan was performed in 6 patients;CT enhancement scan was performed in 2 patients.Results All tumors were unilateral.On non-enhanced CT,the lesions presented as well-defined irregu-lar cystic-solid masses.The cystic portions presented as well-defined,multiple,various size,and there were entire cystic walls with smooth inner wall.Four tumors showed high attenuation lesions in the cyst portion of the mass on precontrast scans.The solid por-tions showed irregular tissue density,and were often distributed in the cysts.The tumors showed stippled calcification in solid por-tions and/or cystic wall in 4 cases.One tumor accompanied a great of ascites liquid.After contrast administration,the cystic por-tions showed no enhancement,and the cystic walls and the solid portions showed mild enhancement.Conclusion CT findings of SO have certain characteristics such as a cystic-solid and well-defined mass with calcification,high attenuation lesion on plain CT,and marked solid part enhancement on contrast CT.

Objectives To explore the expression of HER4 and VEGF in NSCLC and elucidate the relationship between their expression and the characteristic of clinical pathology. Methods 82 cases of paraffin-embedded tissues from informative NSCLC were used to detect the expression of HER4 and VEGF by means of immunohistochemical assay. Results HER4 is overexpressed in 65;9%of NSCLC cases. The overexpression of HER4 is correlated with the lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. VEGF is expressed in 53.7%of NSCLC cases. The expression of VEGF is also correlated with the lymph node metastasis and TNM staging, and the expression of VEGF is correlated with the overexpression of HER4.Conclusions HER4 and VEGF are the protein to regulate the growth of NSCLC and it might be a good way for the treatment of NSCLC by suppressing the overexpression of HER4 and VEGF.

Objective To screen the splicing isoforms of estrogen receptor βin the Beagle hypothalamic -pituitary -gonadal axis.Methods For ERβmRNA CDS sequence of eight exons, primers were designed confined to the CDS sequences of two sequential exons.Beagle hypothalamus, pituitary, ovary and uterus tissue cDNA were used as template, and corresponding sequences were amplified by PCR.PCR products were sequenced and aligned in the NCBI web site.The correct gene was then analyzed with DNAMAN comparative analysis software and handwork checking up, thus got the ERβsplicing isoforms of Beagle. Results Four beagle ER beta splicing isomers were obtained:exon 4 complete skipping ER βisomer (300 bp missing), two kind of Beagle ERβisoforms with partial exon 4 and partial exon 5 complicated missing (isoformⅠ334 bp missing and isoformⅡ265 bp missing), and exon 7 complete missing ERβsplicing isoforms (181 bp missing).Exon 4 complete skipping and exon 7 complete missing isomers had been obtained full length coding sequence, and the other two splicing isomers were partial coding sequence.Conclusion This project gained four ERβsplicing isomers of Beagle, and that will lay an important foundation for further study of their roles in the Beagle reproductive regulation mechanism.

Objective:To analyze the social family factors influencing language delay in children with the age ranging from 18 to 42 months in Xiamen.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate children with language delay (case group) and normal controls (control group) in Child Health Clinic and Developmental Behavior Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University between July 2017 and July 2019 via a self-made questionnaire and a language development scale, and the case-control ratio was 1∶4.The chi- square test, Logistic regression and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) were adopted for statistical analysis, and the correction analysis was performed with Bonferroni correction. Results:A total of 126 children with language delay were collected in the case group, with the ratio of male to female being 2.05∶1.00. The control group was included 504 cases.There was no significant difference in gender and age between both groups.The chi- square test showed that there were statistical differences in maternal culture and screen time distribution between both groups ( P<0.05/13). Besides, the multivariate Logistic regression analysis suggested that significant risk factors for language delay in children included maternal culture, maternal-child interaction, and screen time.The GMDR analysis showed that screen time was the optimal single-mode for children at risk of language delay, while maternal culture and screen time constituted a statistically different two-factor model.Moreover, the marital-child interaction was included into the three-factor model. Conclusions:Screen time and maternal culture were the most important risk factors for language delay in children of Xiamen, and both factors would interact with maternal-child interaction, which could exert impacts on language delay in children.
