Objective To analyze the effects of dominant hand position on the quality of external chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by the employment of the high-fidelity real-time feedback manikin system.Methods A total of 228 medical students of Wuhan University were enrolled in 2013 after standard CPR training courses.Participants were brought to a simulation scenario in which an adult happened to have heart arrest out of a hospital.Each studeut was asked to do five cycles of conventional CPR.In accordance with the dominant hand and the actual compressing hand position,the students were divided into dominant hand (DH) group and non-dominant hand (NH) group.Comparisons of chest compression rate,chest compression depth and chest recoil between two groups were carried out,respectively.The data were analyzed by the software of SPSS 13.0.Results There was no significant difference in overall chest compression rate between two groups (P ＞ 0.05) while the frequency distributions of chest compression rate showed differences (P ＜0.01),and chest compression rates above 100 cycle per min in DH group were higher than that in NH group (97％ vs.92％,P =0.002).There was significant differences in chest compression depth between two groups (DH 44±8 mm vs.NH 43±8mm,P=0.001).In NH group,the depth in cycle 5 (41 ±8) mm is obviously less than that in cycle 1 (44 ±7) mm,cycle 2 (43 ±7) mm and cycle 3 (43 ±8) mm.Totally,there was no differences in chest recoils between two groups [NH (98 ±8)％ vs.DH (97 ± 10)％,P =0.13],but full chest recoils were seen more in NH group (85％ vs.79％,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The dominant hand position can improve the quality of CPR resulted from the higher compression rate,deeper compression depth as well as delayed fatigue.

Objective To explore the abnormally functional brain region in resting state in first-episode major depression disorder patients with function magnetic resonance imaging.Methods 51 patients diagnosed with first-episode major depression disorder according to DSM-Ⅳ and 50 gender-,age-,and education-matched healthy controls completed resting state fMRI scan.The severity of depression,and unpredicted homodynamic responses across the whole brain were analyzed using Hamilton depression scale,regional homogeneity and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation,respectively.Results Compared with control group,the right medial frontal gyms (BA6,MNI:3,-3,63,K=34) and left medial frontal gyrus(BA9,MNI:-9,36,30,K=10) (P＜0.001,uncorrected) in the case group showed higher regional homogeneity,with statistical significance.Compared with control group,right medial frontal gyrus (BA6,MNI:3,-3,63,K =35) and right posterior cingulated gyrus (BA31,MNI:3,-36,36,K =11) (P＜ 0.001,uncorrected)in the case group showed higher amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation,with statistical significance.Conclusion First-episode major depression disorder patients in resting state had several abnormally functional brain regions,which might be related to the pathological mechanism of depression disorder.

The impact of acupuncture for the pregnancy of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is discussed in the paper. Nowadays there are various conclusions about the impact of acupuncture for IVF-ET, and it may result from the differences in research designs. The effect is closely related to the demographic and clinical characteristics of subjects, such as age, the diagnosis of barrenness, blood flow index of uterine spiral arteries, the cycle of IVF, etc. Besides, the efficacy is influenced by treatment based on syndrome differentiation or not, the frequency and course of acupuncture in both the treating group and the control group, etc. If more reasonable design is achieved in the further study based on them, more reliable evidence will be provided for the effect and mechanism of the pregnancy of IVF-EF by acupuncture.

Objective To investigate severe complications of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) applying for preventing pulmonary embo-lism after spinal cord injury. Methods From December 2014 to July 2015, 95 patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in our hospital were retrospected. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) appeared in 23 cases, in which 15 cases placed IVCF. All patients accepted anti-coagulant therapy, except 10 cases with contraindication. 3 cases had severe complication, in which 2 cases had comprehensive DVT distal to IVCF, with both lower limbs severe swelling, acute renal inadequacy and hypertension;1 case had continuous hyperpyrexia. Conclusion Although the IVCF placement was widely used in acute SCI for preventing pulmonary embolism in patients with DVT, however, the selec-tion of IVCF and complication prevention should be taken into account.

[Summary] The activities of 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20 lyase of cytochrome P450c17 were evaluated by ELISA in NCI-H295R cells after treatment with palmitate and oleate. The results showed that 0. 75 mmol/L plamitate did not influence the activity of 17α-hydroxylase, but increased the activity of 17, 20 lyase by 74. 3% ( P<0. 05). Oleate at the same concentration did not change the activity of 17,20 lyase. There were no significant changes in the protein expressions of P450c17, P450 oxidoreductase, and cytochrome b5 after treatment with palmitate and oleate. However,reactive oxygen species in cells were elevated by palmitate. The results suggest that exposure to palmitate may increase androgen production by inducing 17, 20 lyase activity of P450c17 in NCI-H295R cells, which is related with oxidative stress-mediated post-translational regulation of the enzyme.

Objective To observe the effect of perioperative rehabilitation on anterior spinal cord syndrome caused by cervical hyper-flexion injury. Methods Sixty-nine inpatients with anterior spinal cord syndrome after cervical hyperflexion injury from January, 2012 to De-cember, 2014 were reviewed. 32 cases (group A) accepted systematic rehabilitations and other 37 cases (group B) did not. They were as-sessed with Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores preoperatively and 1-year follow-up. Results All the patients succeeded in the operation. The JOA score improved more 1 year follow-up in group A than group B (t=2.538, P=0.044). Conclusion Systematic rehabilita-tion may work in the management of anterior spinal cord syndrome after cervical hyperflexion injury.

Objectives: To examine effects of pinacidil on intracellular free calcium concentration of cardiomyocytes during hypoxia/reoxygenation. Methods:A cell culture model of neonatal rat cardiac myocytes was used. There were three groups, including control group, hypoxia/reoxygenation group and pinacidil group. Confocal microscope was used with Fluo 3/AM as calcium indicator to detect changes of intracellular free calcium concentration. Results:The intracellular fluoresence intensity of singular cardiomyocyte in hypoxia/reoxygenation group was significantly higher than that of the controls( P

Nerve growth factor is one of the most important factors playing an important role in regulating the growth, development and survival of the neuron. The purified NGF from human placenta has been reported, the tissue from which can be isolated the NGF is very limited. It is important for basic research and clinic application to expression hNGF by genetic engineering. By polymerase chain reaction,gene fragment encoding the mature part of ?-NGF was amplified using the DNA of human placenta as template. The fragment was sequenced and inserted into expression vector pET-15b, and the recombinant expression vector pET15b-NGF was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. After inducing with IPTG the NGF was higher expressed up to 25% of the total cell proteins. The expression product was purified with metal chelate affinity chromatography on Ni-IDA agarose under denaturing condition. The purity of rNGF was higher than 90% and yield of rNGF was 4.56mg/L expressing bacteria. SDS-PAGE revealed the NGF expression product had a Mr 16kDa. Western-blot displayed the recombinant product had strong immunological activity with rabbit anti-human ?-NGF polyclonic antibodies. The expression products were dealed with solubilizing inclusion bodies and refolding protein. The test of nerve fiber growth of chicken embryo DRG neurons displayed rNGF had biological activity.
