Objective To compare the effects of vasopressin and adrenaline on cerebral resuscitation in rats. Method Sixty male SD rats were used to set the animal model of cardiac arrest and were randomly (random number) divided into 4 groups (n = 15/group): sham operation group (sham-gro), negative control group (neg-gro), vasopressin group (vas-gro) and adrenaline group (adr-gro). Blood pressure was recorded, and brain tissue samples were obtained. Results There was no significant difference in the recovery rate between vas-gro and adr-gro 30 min after resuscitation (P ＜0.05). The mean blood pressure in vasgro was higher than that in adr-gro within 30 min (1,2, 5, 10, 20, 30 min) after restoration of spontaneous circulation. The measured MDA, SOD and GSH were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between each two groups among vas-gro, sham-gro and adr-gro. Conclusions The recovery rate was similar between vasopressin group and adrenaline group during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats. However, vasopressin can to maintain the mean arterial pressure at a higher level after resuscitation, which can the increase the cerebral perfusion and reduce brain cell damage.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that Maca can enhance immune cel function, improve mitochondrial respiratory chain enzymes, and play a role in anti-oxidation and anti-aging.
OBJECTIVE: To observe Maca effects on kidney mitochondrial respiratory function and anti-aging capabilities in elderly rats after exhausted exercise.
METHODS: 10-month-old elderly rats were intragastrical y administrated Maca powder 5 g/kg, once a day, and did treadmil exercise, 5 days in a week. Rats were randomly divided into control group, Maca group and training group and Maca+training group. At 6 weeks after training, rats in each group did exhausted exercise (35 m/min), and immediately received intraperitoneal injection of 2% sodium pentobarbital. The kidney was obtained, and mitochondria were extracted by differential centrifugation. A spectrophotometer was used to measure mitochondrial respiratory chain activity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme and antioxidant enzyme activity: mitochondrial respiratory chain enzyme I-III, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were higher in the Maca+training group than in the control group, Maca group and training group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), but malondialdehyde content was lower (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). (2) Results suggested that the combination of supplement Maca and incremental exercise can improve mitochondrial respiratory function and delay aging in the kidney of aged rats after exhausted exercise. Moreover, supplemented Maca and incremental exercise have a synergistic effect.

Reviewing the theory of chaos in the field of nonlinear dynamics, this paper summarized theory of chaos and its applications in medical signal processing including electroencephalogram(EEG) signal?electrocardiogram(ECG) signal?electromyogram(EMG) signal, etc. The foreground is reviewed to advance the study and application of nonlinear dynamics theory in biomedical engineering.

Objective To explore the effects of estrogen,sport walking with weight and estrogen plus sport walk on serum lipid,bone metabolism and bone mineral density(BMD) in postmenopausal women.Methods 52 postmenopausal women were divided into the hormone replacement therapy(HRT) group(n=12),sport walking with weight group(Sp group,n=14),HRT + Sp group(n=12) and control group(n=14).HRT group took compound nylestriol,Sp group took sport walking with 5 kg weight and exercise intensity was from 60% to 80% VO2max,HRT+Sp group received two treatments as HRT group and Sp group.The experimental duration consisted of six months.Results The total cholesterol(TC),TC/high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alkaline phosphatase(APL) and urine calcium(Ca)/creatinine(Cr) were markedly lower in three experimental groups than the control group and before experiment(P<0.05 or P<0.01),HDL-C in Sp and HRT+Sp groups were markedly higher than the control group and before experiment(P<0.05),BMD of spine(L2～L4) and left trochanter in three experimental groups were markedly higher than the control group(P<0.01) and before experiment(P<0.0).Conclusion Both estrogen replacement therapy and sport walking with weight effectively improve serum lipid,prevent and reverse osteoporosis induced by menopause in women.

Objective To explore the personality characteristics of patients with male climacteric syndrome and summarize the coping styles.Method 32 patients with male climacteric syndrome involved in the investigation of personality characteristics and coping styles by Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ).As a control,another 32 healthy subjects were enrolled for the controlled investigation.Results In the climacteric syndrome group,the scores on extraversion(E)was significantly lower than that of the control group,the scores on neuroticism(N)and lie(L)were significantly higher than the control group(P<0.01).In the climacteric syndrome group,the scores on active coping style was significantly lower than those of the control group and the scores on negative coping style score were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusions The patients with male climacteric syndrome is characterized with incomplete catharsis and emotional lability.They tend to suppress their negative emotions and take passive coping styles.

Objective To describe classroom teaching quality and to develop strategy for improving teaching quality of undergraduate pediatric nursing.Methods A total of forty-six junior students drawn from a nursing college were selected as subjects for cross-sectional study.The Teacher's Lecture Practice Evaluation Form developed by Sichuan University was used to measure teaching quality.A semi-structural interview was applied to obtain information from ten nursing students.Results The overall assessment of nursing teacher's classroom lecture was (89.60±5.63) points.Items of enrichment of contents,emphasized points,proficient in contents,explanation of terms and application of professional English got high score,items of heuristic question,lecture appeal,enlighten students obtained low scores.The interview results identified problems in teaching content,teaching method,and teaching behavior.Students provided suggestions for classroom teaching.Conclusions The classroom lecture performance of pediatric nursing is satisfactory,but teaching content,teaching method,and effective teaching behavior need to be upgraded.

Objective　To evaluate the methods for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary malignant tumor(BMT) so as to achieve improvement. Methods　Various methods of diagnosis and treatment of BMT were comprehensively analysed and evaluated. Results and Conclusion　The present laboratory examinations do not show obvious help for the early diagnosis of BMT. Both bile cytology and neoplasm histology may define the character of tumor but the positive rate is low. Although imaging examinations have difficulty in finding early tumor, it may help to define the position, size, infiltration and metastasis of the neoplasm. To diagnose the tumor in its early stage, the monitor and management of some diseases related to BMT should be enhanced, and tumor markers with high susceptibility and specificity should be explored. Operation is the major choice treatment. For advanced neoplasm patients, radical operation or extented radical operation can bring great help for some cases. Palliative surgery may be performed on the patients unable to accept radical operation, and biliary drainage may be performed on the unresectable tumor. The application of special surgery apparatus, such as Peng's Multifunctional Operative Dissector(PMOD), may increase the resection rate of tumor and lymph nodules. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy need further exploration. Gene therapy may likely bring about new hope for the treatment of BMT in the future.
