Objective: To analyze the influence of long-term swimming training on spatial learning-memory in rats and its relationship with cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cGMP) signal transduction pathway. Method: After 3 times adaptable swimming exercises (30min each time), 40 male SD rats were divided into 2 groups: control group (CR, n=20) and exercises, group (TR, n=20). CR group didn't swim, and TR group swam without burden (6 times/week, 60 min each time). After 8 weeks training, 10 rats were selected from both groups respectively for examing of Morris water maze test. Radioimmunoassay was used to measure the levels of cAMP and cGMP in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats. Result: ①Compared with CR group, in TR group learning-memory improved in a certain extent: ②Compared with CR group, in TR group, the level of cAMP in hippocampus enhanced very obviously (P<0.01), the cAMP/cGMP ratio enhanced obviously (P<0.05); in prefrontal cortex the levels of cAMP and cAMP/cGMP ratio enhanced obviously (P<0.05). Conclusion: Swimming training for 8 weeks improved the spatial learning-memory of rats in a certain extent, and elevated the level of cAMP and cAMP/cGMP ratio in hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats obviously. It is suggested that exercises might affect learning-memory by cAMP and cGMP signal transduction pathway.

To discuss the protective effect of aralosides (AS) on I/R-induced rat myocardial injury. The adult rat ventricular myocyte ischemia model was established through perfusion with sodium lactate perfusate and reperfusion with Ca(2+) -containing Tyrode's solution simulation. The cell contraction and ion concentration synchronization determination system was applied to detect the effect of AS on single I/R cell contraction and Ca2+ transients. According to the findings, AS could increase resting sarcomere length, contraction amplitude, ± dL/dt(max), calcium transient amplitude and speed of post-reperfusion myocardial cells (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and decrease in time for achieving 90.0% of maximum relaxation, time for achieving peak value, resting calcium ratio, contraction period [Ca2+] i, time for achieving 50.0% of maximum relaxation and attenuation rate of intracellular calcium transient (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Therefore, it is suggested that AS improved the post-reperfusion cell contraction and injury of calcium homeostasis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of multiloop edgewise arch wire(MEAW)technique combined with rapid maxillary expansion(RME)in correcting skeletal crossbite young adults with mandibular deviation.Methods 9 young adults with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion and mandibular deviation were selected(4 males,5 females,aged from 16.2-18.8 years).They were all corrected with RME and MEAW techniques.Cephalometric radiographs were taken and analyzed at the pretreatment(T1)and post-treatment(T2).Students't-test was used to determine if there were significant differences between the 2 time periods.Results SNA increased by(1.4+1.7)°,SNB decreased by(0.7+0.9)°,and ANB increased by(2.1+0.9)°;U1-SN increased by(2.7+3.7)°and L1-MP decreased by(5.4+2.9)°.MP-SN and Mp-FH increased by(1.9+2.0)°and(1.1+2.6)°respectively,neither of which had significant difference.Maz-Maz' increased by(2.6+2.8)mm,while Um-Um'increased by(6.2+5.9)mm.The latter had significant difference.△Cd-Me and △Cd-Go decreased by (3.7+2.1)mm and(2.8+1.6)mm respectively;while ManDP-MSL and Me-MSL decreased by (3.8+2.3)mmand(3.6+2.5)mm,respectively.All of them had significant differences.Conclusion MEAW technique combined with RME is a clinically effective method for correcting adults with mild and moderate skeletal crossbite and mandibular deviation.

Objective To explore the role of long-term enriched environment in promoting the recovery of motor and social function in mice after ischemic brain injury. Methods Sixteen adult male ICR mice underwent permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). The first day after operation, they were divided into enriched environment group (n=8) and standard condition group (n=8). The mice were tested with modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS), rotarod test and smart cage 7, 14, 21, 28 days after modeling. Results The score of mNSS and the result of rotarod test improved more in the enriched environment group than in the standard condition group 28 days after MCAO (t>2.927, P<0.05). The occupancy time in the middle of smart cage was longer in the enriched environment group than in the stan-dard condition group 7 to 28 days after MCAO (t>2.480, P<0.05) in the general move test. There was a trend of being more interested in strange mice in the enriched environment group than in the standard condition group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05) in the social behavior test; however, the occupancy time in the middle of smart cage was longer in the enriched environment group than in the standard condition group 14 to 28 days after MCAO (t>3.472, P<0.01), and the velocity of moving was higher 14 days after MCAO (P<0.05). Conclusion Enriched environment could promote the recovery of motor function, somehow of social function, in mice af-ter ischemic brain injury.
