Objective To establish drug resistant models of temporal lobe epilepsy induced by amygdala kindling,and to investigate the changes of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and phosphorylated cAMP response element binding protein (p-CREB) expression in the hippocampus tissues in order to explore their roles in drug resistant epileptogenesis.Methods Eighty adult male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (n =10) and model group (n =70).The 70 rats were used to prepare the amygdaloid kindled model of epilepsy by chronic stimulation of amygaloid basal lateral nucleus.The successful kindled models were randomly selected as drug resistant epileptic group (n =10) and drug sensitive epileptic group (n =10) according to their response to the phenytoin and phenobarbital.On the basis of behavioral observation,electrophysiology,pathological HE staining,CREB and p-CREB expression changes,we verified the reliability of the models and explored the differences among the three groups above.The changes of CREB and p-CREB expression were detected by immunohistochemical method and Western blotting assay.Results In control group,the electroencephalogram (EEG) frequency was (8.700 ±1.494) Hz;in drug sensitive epileptic group,the EEG frequency was (14.700 ± 1.159) Hz;in drug resistant epileptic group,the EEG frequency was (19.800 ± 1.686) Hz.The frequency differences among the three groups were statistically significant (F =144.202,P =0.000).By immunohistochemical staining,a large number of CREB and p-CREB positive cells were observed in drug resistant epileptic group.As compared with the control group (CREB 0.197 ±0.058,p-CREB 0.260 ±0.176),the expression levels of CREB and p-CREB were increased in drug sensitive epileptic group (CREB 0.361 ±0.151,p-CREB 0.656 ±0.234) and in drug resistant epileptic group (CREB 0.591 ± 0.150,p-CREB 1.077 ± 0.400).The difference among the three groups had statistical significance (F =24.206,20.376,both P < 0.01).Conclusions The expressions of CREB and p-CREB were significantly increased in drug resistant epileptic rats.These findings indicate that the expressions of CREB and p-CREB may play certain roles in the drugresistant epileptogenesis.

BACKGROUND:Inactivated autologous replantation in repair of bone defects after bone tumor resection has obvious advantages. Boiling, alcohol soaking, cryogenic freezing, microwave, radiation and other methods have been used for inactivation; however, they al have shortcomings. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and feasibility of high temperature and high pressure inactivated autologous bone in repair of large segmental bone defects. METHODS: Bone defect models of bilateral distal radius were established in New Zealand white rabbits. Bone defect at the right side was repaired by high temperature high pressure inactivated autologous bone via in situ replantation, as experimental group. Bone defect at the left side was repaired byin situbone replantation, as control group. The general observation of bilateral radius, X-ray detection, bone radionuclide scan test and histological examination were conducted at the 6th, 12th and 24th weeks after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the 24th week after surgery, X-ray films showed normal bone healing in these two groups. At the 24th week after surgery, bone radionuclide scan test showed that in the experimental group, the radiation on the repaired bone segments was uneven; the concentrations of nuclear elements were stil slightly higher on both ends, but decreased in the middle area; and the concentration in the control group was closed to normal. At the 24th week after surgery, histological observation showed that there were a majority of trabecular bone tissues in the bone defect area of the experimental group, and some woven bone tissues were immature, which was similar to the performance of the control group at the 12th week after surgery; and normal bone was visible in the control group. These results demonstrate that high temperature and high pressure inactivated autologous bone can be used to repair long segmental bone defects, but can result in delayed bone healing.

OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of the pathogens in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) following severe craniocerebral trauma. METHODS The 220 cases with severe craniocerebral trauma were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The incident rate of VAP was 24% in these patients. A total of 169 pathogens were isolated,including 146 ( 86%) strains of bacteria and 23 (14%) fungal isolates. The main Gram-negative bacteria (114 strains) were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae,etc. The Gram-positives (32 strains) were Staphylococcus aureus and twenty-four (75%) of them were meticillin-resistant. CONCLUSIONS The incident rate of VAP is high following severe craniocerebral trauma. Most of the isolated pathogens are drug resistant. These cases have mixed infection occurred commonly. To prevent and treat VAP,we should pay attention to disinfection and aseptic manipulation,and make the rational use of antimicrobial agents.

Inorganic layered materials with the open structure of low dimension and good biological compatibility and stability are considered as one of the most promising materials for immobilizing biomolecules, which can not only adjust the spacing of layers according to guest molecular size to prevent leakage of guest molecule, but also reduce the effects of surrounding elements on immobilized molecules significantly. Moreover, they can promote electron transfer between enzyme and the electrode. Therefore, the inorganic layered materials have great application potential in electrochemical sensors. This paper reviews the ways of immobilizing guest molecules of inorganic layered materials and the applications and development prospects of the different types of inorganic layered materials including cationic, anionic and nonionic inorganic layered materials in electrochemical sensor.

Objective:To investigate the management in patients with complete portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis during liver transplantation (LT). Methods:Seven patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis undergone LT, The reconstruction of PV were the anastomosis PV to varicose coronary vein in 3 cases, PV to varicose vein near hilus of spleen in 2 case, PV to varicose vein in front of common bile duct in 1 case, PV to varicose right gastro-epiploic vein in 1 case. Results:All patients undergone successful LT. One case died 7 days after the transplantation of multi-organic nonfunction, but the PV was patent. One case was found stenosis at the anastomosis 6 months after LT, and he was cured by percutaneous transhepatic portography and stent placement. Other patients were followed-up12~22 months, the PVs were patent, and had sufficient blood supply, and they have normal liver and kidney functions now. Conclusion :The anastomosis between graft portal vein and the splanchnic varicose vein may be a applicable choice for the patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis during LT.
