Objective To analyze the activities of cultured neuronal network in response to electric pulses stimuli with different intervals. Method Pairs of electric pulses with different intervals were added to rat hippocampal neurons cultured on multi-electrode arrays (MEA) substrate. Result The second response duration of the network increased with the decrease of the interval between two pulses. It was typical that the second duration after pulses with 10 ms interval increased greatly and it could be divided into two stages, i.e. quick response (within 10 ms) and slow response (near or beyond 100 ms). However, following pulses with 100 ms interval,there is practically no relation between the two responses; the second response duration was shorter and the number of spikes was fewer and their amplitudes were lower, which is similar to the result of single electric pulse stimulus. Conclusion The activity of cultured neuronal network was different in response to different electric stimulation patterns. Compared with spontaneous firing, the activity of the network is potentiated or depressed respectively after different stimulations.

0.05). The average SV of premature systoles is 35% of sinus beats. Premature systoles less than 5 beats/min may cause and average drop of 5% of cardiac output (CO), While the premature systoles increased to 10-20 beats/min, the CO would be dropped further of 10-19%. there Was a high linear correlation between sr of all premature systoles and the coupling interval premature systoles (p

Objective To analyze the characteristics,risk and induced factors of intussusception in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS).Methods From March 2nd 2005 to May 25th 2013,a total of 130 patients with PJS were selected.The clinical data of patients were collected,which included gender,age,the diagnostic age of PJS,family history,the diagnostic age of intussusception,clinical features,location,treatment and the maximum diameter of polyps which caused intussusception.Kaplan-Meier was performed to analyze the cumulative risk of intussusception.Results Among 130 patients with PJS,90 cases had intussusception.The age when first time diagnosed was from four to 33,median age was 16.The cumulative risks of intussusception at 10,15,20,25 and 30 years were 12.308％ (16/130),31.538％(41/130),51.538％(67/130),64.615％(84/130) and 66.923％(87/130).There was no significant difference in the cumulative risk of intussusception between male and female; with family history and no family history (both P＞0.05).A total of 131 intussusception happened in 90 patients,of which diagnosed by surgery,imaging examination and history reviewer was 125,four and two times,respectively.The initial symptom of 111 times of intussusception was acute abdomen and 15 were abdominal pain and vomiting.The left five intussusception was found by regular:examination.One hundred and fifteen intussusception was in small intestine and 16 in colon.There was 127,three and one time treated with surgery,conservative treatment,endoscopic therapy (dual airbags intestinal endoscopic polypectomy),respectively.The maximum diameter of polyps which caused intussusception was from 15 to 70 mm,average 40 mm.Conclusions Intussusception of patients with PJS is at young age and with a high cumulative risk.Intussusception is generally caused by diameter over 15 mm polyps.

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), as one of the most important alcohol metabolizing enzymes, plays a significant role in the detoxification process of acetaldehyde which is a main carcinogenic product of alcoholic metabolism. Alteration in its genotypes (particularly at the site of rs671) is closely associated with a variety of tumors in drinkers. Recent advance in the research of the association of the ALDH2 gene rs671 polymorphisms with cancer susceptibility in drinkers is reviewed.

OBJECTIVE To prepare quercetin-human serum albumin-nanoparticles （Que-HSA-NPs），and to evaluate the in vivo and in vitro inhibitory effects of Que-HSA-NPs on hepatic fibrosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis （NASH）. METHODS Que-HSA-NPs were prepared by desolvation-chemical cross-linking method ，their appearance characteristics were observed ，and their particle size ，polydispersity index （PDI），Zeta potential and drug loading were detected. Quercetin （Que）and Que-HSA-NPs were applied to murine HSC-T 6 cells. The effects of them on survival rate of HSC-T 6，mRNA expression of transforming growth factor β（TGF-β），Type Ⅰ collagen α1（COL1A1）and α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）were compared. Que and Que-HSA-NPs were applied to mice fed with low methionine and choline deficient high-fat diet. The serum levels of liver injury indexes ，liver pathological characteristics ，mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA，protein expression of α-SMA in liver tissue were determined to evaluate the improvement effects of them on hepatic fibrosis of NASH in mice. RESULTS The prepared Que-HSA-NPs was spherical ，the particle size was （172.9±2.2）nm，the PDI was 0.233，the Zeta potential was －29.2 mV，and the drug loading was 2.99％. Que and Que-HSA-NPs were nontoxic to HSC-T 6 at concentrations of 0-250 μg/mL. Both of them could significantly decrease mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA，especially Que-HSA-NPs （P＜0.05）. They also could significantly decrease the serum levels of liver inju ry index ，relieve liver injury and down-regulate mRNA expressions of TGF-β，COL1A1 and α-SMA and protein expression of α-SMA， especially Que-HSA-NPs （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Que- HSA-NPs is successfully prepared ，and confirm that its anti- NASH hepatic fibrosis effect is better than that of Que .

Objective To systematically analyze the World Health Organization Rehabilitation Competency Framework (RCF) theoretical framework, methodology and its application in the field of rehabilitation.Methods We systematically analyzed RCF conceptual framework and key characteristics, and discussed how to apply the RCF in the fields of human resource planning, education program and curriculum system, and vocational competency standards and certification criteria for rehabilitation human resources.Results The RCF encompasses five domains, naming practice, professionalism, learning and development, management and leadership, and research. Rehabilitation professionals' performance is the result of the interaction of their core values and beliefs, competencies, activities, knowledge, and skills. The RCF can be used to plan rehabilitation human resources, establish competency-based rehabilitation education programs and curriculum systems, and develop competency certification standards and licensure accreditation standards.Conclusion This study analyzed background, content and implementation framework of RCF, and systematically discussed the theories and methods related to how to use the RCF to construct national rehabilitation human resources development plans, develop rehabilitation education programs and curriculum systems based on the RCF, and establish certification and assessment standards for rehabilitation human resources.
