0.05).It could also decrease the times of wet manure induced by folia sennae,while it was of no effect on diarrhea induced by castor oil. CONCLUSION: Volatile oil from A.longiligulare T.L.Wu has anti-inflammation,analgesic and anti-diarrhea effect related to the cure for ulcerative colitis.

AIM: To investigate antioxidative and antinitrosative effects of volatile oil from A.longiligulare T.L.Wu on dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mice. METHODS: Balb/c mice were fed with 4% DSS solution for 7 d to induce ulcerative colitis.Using biochemical method,the activity of antioxidative enzyme SOD,MDA and NO were determined in normal,model,SASP and three mouse's groups with low,moderate and high volatile oil from A.longiligulare T.L.Wu respectively.At the same time,the activity of iNOS was also measured by immunohistopathology. RESULTS: The concentration of MDA and NO were reduced and SOD increased significantly in high-and moderate-volatile oil groups compared with those in the model group.The activity of iNOS was reduced significantly in high-and moderate-volatile oil groups compared with those in the model group.The results demonstrated that the expression of iNOS was significantly inhibited in DSSinduced ulcerative colitis mice after being treated with high or moderate-dosage volatile oil. CONCLUSION: Volatile oil from A.longiligulare T.L.Wu has antioxidative and antinitrosative effects which may be one of the mechanism for treating UC.

PurposeSpinal cord is one of the most frequently involved sites of multiple sclerosis (MS), which seriously affects the life quality of patients. In this paper, we investigate the application value of voxel-based morphology (VBM) and resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI) in multiple sclerosis patients with single spinal cord involvement (MS-SSCI).Materials and Methods Three-dimensional T1WI data and RS-fMRI data were acquired from 20 patients with MS-SSCI and 20 normal controls, grey matter volume (GMV), changes of white matter volume (WMV), total intracranial volume (TIV) and local nuclei volume were compared between the two groups using VBM, posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) was regarded as the seed point and the functional connectivity about whole brain was compared between the two groups by using resting-state functional connectivity analysis, the relationships between MS-SSCI structure, function change parameters and expanded disability states scale (EDSS) scores were further explored.Results①Compared with the control group, GMV, WMV, TIV of MS-SSCI group were not significantly reduced, only the volume of some regions (bilateral middle temporal gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus) showed significant atrophy (P<0.01); MS-SSCI exhibited increased functional connectivity (FC) in the left medial prefrontal cortex, left inferior temporal gyrus, left caudate nucleus and right supplementary motor area (two-sample t test, after AlphaSim correction,P<0.01, voxel size >40).②There was no significant correlation (P>0.05) between MS-SSCI structure change parameters and EDSS; while a significant correlation between EDSS scores and FC was noted in the left inferior temporal gyrus (r=0.633,P<0.05).Conclusion Both structural abnormalities and altered FC with PCC can be detected in MS-SSCI, but only functional parameters are associated with clinical abnormalities, which are more sensitive than microstructural changes.

Objective To investigate the correlation between prostacyclin synthase (prostaglandin I2 synthase, PGIS) gene rs5602 single nucleotide polymorphism and ischemia stroke in Chinese Han population. Methods The patients with ischemia stroke and healthy controls in Chinese Han population were enroled. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF MS) was used to detect the rs5602 polymorphism. Results A total of 297 patients with ischemic stroke (male 177 and female 120) and 291 healthy controls (male 165, female 126) over the same period were enroled. The frequencies of TT genotype (31. 1% vs. 43. 6% ; χ2 = 5. 773, P = 0. 016) and T alele (56. 8% vs. 65. 8% ; χ2 = 5. 793, P = 0. 016) in the male patients with ischemic stroke were significantly lower than those in the male healthy controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the rs5602 TT genotype was a protective factor for ischemic stroke in male (odds ratio 0. 260, 95% confidence interval 0. 118-0. 570; P = 0. 001). Conclusions PGIS gene rs5602 polymorphism is associated with ischemic stroke in male in Chinese Han population.

Objective To explore the related factors of diabetes insipidus and disorders of sodium and water after surgery of sellar region tumor,and to find nursing strategy and improve the prognosis of sellar region tumors.Methods In this study,we retrospectively reviewed 150 cases of sellar region tumor from January 2005 to January 2011 in our department,including 67 cases of pituitary adenoma,53 cases of meningioma,30 cases of craniopharyngiona.Approaches were depended on the size and growing pattern of the tumors.Related factors of postoperative diabetes insipidus and disorders of sodium and water were analyzed.Results Large tumor size,the pathology of tumor,preoperative endocrine dysfunction,preoperative visual field and vision disorders and surgery approach were related to such complications.Conclusions Finding the related factors of these complications in patients and adopting care measures play an important role in improving the prognosis of sellar region tumors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of combined therapy of mild hypothermia and hibernation to treat severe brain injury. Methods24 patients with severe brain injury were randomly divided into combined therapy group and normothermia group. Glasgow Coma Scale scores of all the patients were in the range of 3 to 8. No later than 10 hours after their injury, hypothermia patients were given half dosage of No.1 hibernation cocktail and had been cooled by cooling blankets to 32℃-34℃ (rectal temperature) for 5 days, then to 35℃ for 24 hours, and slowly increased to their normal level. 3 days and 7 days after their admission, intracranial pressure,creatine phosphate kinase,partial pressure of arterial O2 and CO2, platelet and Na+,K+ were measured.7 days after their admission, Glasgow Outcome Scale scores of each patient and mortality of each group were measured. ResultsThe mortality of combined therapy group(25.0%) was significantly lower than that of normothermia group (66.6%,P<0.05). The decreased values of intracranial pressure, creatine phosphate kinase and platelet number of combined therapy group were all significantly higher than that of normothermia group respectively (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in mean artery pressure, blood electrolyte, and partial pressure of arterial O2 and CO2 between these two groups(P>0.05). ConclusionThe combined therapy of mild hypothermia and hibernation can effectively reduce the mortality of patients with severe brain injury as it is much easier, less invasive and with less complications.

ObjectiveTo compare costs of combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia (CIIA) and total intravenous anesthesia (TIA) when lower limbs orthopedics (LLO) performed on cerebral palsy children (CPC).MethodsTo analyze data of 49 CPC who received LLO under CIIA and TIA,and compare costs of two anesthetic styles.ResultsTIA had a significantly lower cost than CIIA (P<0.001),and showed a lower incidence of post-operation nausea and vomiting.ConclusionTIA can decrease cost of anesthesia and post-operation nursing compared with CIIA.
