Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is an imaging method of function brain area by stimulate in magnetic resonance facility; it can exactitude reflect the nerve activity level of brain and confirm the function brain area in alive body; it is a new impersonality imagine method to evaluate the cognitive function of human. Cognitive function obstacle is a clinical syndrome of damaging cognitive function by manifold reasons and can be leaded by many diseases in clinic. Studying changed function brain area by fMRI can offer an impersonality and intuition imagine evidence to forepart prevent, diagnose and therapy of the diseases of cognitive function obstacle.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of personality in patients with depression. Methods24 patients with depression and 24 normal controls were measured with Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) software. ResultsCompared with the control, patient with depression showed significantly difference in neuroticism, extraversionn-introversion, anxiety, repression, manifest anxiety scale, ego strength, dependency, dominance (P<0.05). the T score of N and repression is higher than the Chinese usual score. ConclusionThe depression patients show their personality as repression, inferiority, melancholy, anxiety, bad tolerance, overstrung and dependent.

AIM: To explore the effect of oxides of low density lipoprotein (OX - LDL)on apoptosis in vas- cular endothelial cells(EC) and its possible mechanisms. METHODS: Culted vascular ECS were incubated with OX - LDL(0.1?g/L or 0. 3?g/L) for 4 hours, flow cytometer with PI staining methed was used to determine the rate of cellular apoptosis, gel - electrophoresis was performed to observe foe DNA ladder of apoptosis, cellular RNA was isolated and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT - PCR)was performed to determine Fas antigen ex- pression. RESULTS:OX - LDL treatment induced apoptosis in EC dose - dependently. No DNA ladder was ob- served in control EC. But it presented in EC beated with low dose of OX - LDL, and was even more when beted with higher dose of OX - LDL. RT - PCR revealed Fas antigen baldly had any expression in basic condition, OX - LDL treatment induced Fas antigen in EC in a dose dependent manner. CONCLUSION: OX - LDL can induce apoptosis in EC, upregulaton of Fas antigen expression maybe one of the possible mechanisms.

Objective To explore the characteristics of patients with stagnation of liver-qi syndrome using brain functional imaging techniques.Methods10 patients with stagnation of liver-qi syndrome and 20 normal persons whom paired by sex and age were scanned with positron emission tomography(PET).Data analysis was carried out using SPM in MATLAB software.ResultsCompared with normal,some cerebral areas of the patients with stagnation of liver-qi syndrome showed glucose metabolism letdown(P<0.001),including right parietal lobe(postcentral gyrus,BA1/2),temporal lobe(middle temporal gyrus,BA37),frontal lobe(middle frontal gyrus,BA9/10)etc.,while some cerebral areas showed glucose metabolism heighten(P<0.001)including right frontal lobe(superior frontal gyrus,inferior fontal gyrus,BA22/28/44),right cingulated gyrus,double midbrain and cerebella,etc.ConclusionThe function of some cerebral areas can be changed undergoing stagnation of liver-qi syndrome.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of TL-Ⅰ prescription.MethodsHealth ICR mouses were randomly divided into 6 groups: negative control group, positive control group, Tongtian group, large doses group,middle doses group and small doses group. The pain threshold of mouses were detected with hot plate and acetic acid writhing.ResultsTL-Ⅰ prescription can raise the threshold of pain induced by hot plate and reduce the numbers of writhing induced by acetic acid in mice, which was more significant in large doses group. ConclusionTL-Ⅰ prescription can be an effective analgesic.

Objective: To investigate the association between the genetic polymorphism of ABCB1 C3435T and plasma concentration and adverse reactions of high-dose methotrexate(HD-MTX) chemotherapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods: A total of 70 peripheral blood samples were obtained from the children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia for extracting genome DNA.The genetic polymorphism of ABCB1 C3435T locus was examined by using PCR technology and direct sequencing;enzyme-amplified immunoassay (EMIT) was employed to determine the plasma concentration of MTX in 48 h;the clinical data of patients were collected during the HD-MTX chemotherapy, the adverse reactions were statistically analyzed.The association between ABCB1 C3435T genotypes and MTX plasma concentration and adverse reactions were investigated.Results: Genetic polymorphism existed at the SNP of ABCB1 C3435T.At the SNP of ABCB1 C3435T, the percentage of CC, CT and TT genotype in the children with ALL was 31.43%, 47.14% and 21.43%, respectively.The order of C/D ratio of MTX from low to high was CC, CT and TT genotypes, there was a significant association between the gene polymorphism and the C/D ratio of MTX (P<0.05);the order of incidence of oral mucosa damage from low to high was CC, CT and TT genotypes, there was a significant association between the gene polymorphism and oral mucosa damage (P<0.05);the order of incidence of hepatotoxicity from low to high were CC, CT and TT genotypes, the gene polymorphism and hepatotoxicity had a significant association (P<0.05).Conclusion: ABCB1 C3435T genetic polymorphism and C/D ratio of MTX, gastrointestinal side effects and hepatotoxicity after HD-MTX chemotherapy in the children with ALL exhibit significant association.

Objective:To study the antihypertensive effect of the extract from compound Prunella vulgaris L. in spontaneous hy-pertension(SH)rats. Methods:Forty SH rats were randomly divided into the model group,high,middle and low dose groups of ex-tract from vompound Prunella vulgaris L. ,the compound kendir leaves tablets Ⅰ group with 8 ones in each. Non-invasive blood pres-sure measurement was used to detect the SBP and DBP of the SHR rats. Then the serum NO,AngⅡ ,ET-1 and ANP content were measured after the eight-week treatment. The pathological changes were observed after kidney HE staining in the SH rats. Results:Compared with that in the model group,the blood pressure in high-dose treatment group,middle-dose treatment group and the positive model group was significantly decreased(P < 0. 05). The AngⅡ and ET-1 levels in high-dose treatment group,middle-dose treatment group and the positive model group were decreased(P < 0. 01),and NO and ANP contents in serum were significantly increased when compared with those in the model group(P < 0. 01). The pathological examination showed that the pathological changes in the model group were faster than those in all the drug-treatment groups,the pathological changes included glomerular and renal tubular atrophy, glomerular vascular wall thickening and renal tubular epithelial cell degeneration or necrosis. Conclusion:The extract from compound Prunella vulgaris L. can reduce blood pressure of SH rats. The mechanism may be associated with the level reduction of AngII and ET-1 and content elevation of NO and ANP.
