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.

The characteristics of medical and health literature novel assessment in institutions of armed forces were described from the secrecy of projects for literature novelty assessment , the limitations of consignee institution , and the non-profitability of literature novelty assessment agency .The major problems of medical and health literature novel assessment in institutions of armed forces were elaborated in terms of the literacy, instability, competency and knowledge limitation of literature novel assessment staff with suggestions put forward for their solution such as strengthening the construction of talent team, joint development and sharing of resources.

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.

Ventilator is broadly used in the hospital all over the world,The paper describes three case of common troubles in clinical practice for Bird-brand ventilator and its troubleshooting.

This study was aimed to observe the mechanism of Jia-Jian Xiao-Yao (JJXY) Powder improving facial skin barrier function of the hormone-dependent dermatitis patients. A total of 100 patients were randomly divided into two groups. In the treatment group, 50 cases were orally administered with JJXY Powder. In the control group, loratadine and vitamin EC particles were orally administered to the 50 cases. Thirty days is one treatment course. Changes of transepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin erythema amount and IL-4 were detected in patients of both groups before and after the treatment. The results showed that the clinical efficiency of treatment group and control group was 82.0% and 58.0%, respectively. In the treatment group, the TEWL and skin erythema amount were obviously decreased after the treatment (P < 0.05). In the treatment group, the decreasing range of serum IL-4 was significant compared to control group (P < 0.05). It was concluded that JJXY Powder is one of the effective methods for the treatment of facial hormone-dependent dermatitis. It is able to repair facial hormone-dependent dermatitis in patients with impaired skin barrier function and reduce the amount of skin erythema. The therapeutic mechanism may be related to the regulation of serum IL-4.

The potassium ion channels have been found to be the most widely distributed proteins,with the largest variety of subtypes and the most complicated functions so far.The potassium ion channels play important role in cell physiological activities.As one member of potassium ion channel family,TASK-3 not only transports ions,maintains cell membrane potentials,transfers intercellular signals,but also closely relates to numerous diseases,including tumors.

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.
