Aim To study the anti-stress depression effect of Jiaweisinisan(JWSNS)and it's mechanism of N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor channel in hippocampus.Methods Chronic mild unpredictable stress(CMUS)was adopted to establish the rat depres-sion model.Before and after model establishing,the sucrose consumptions and the weight of rats were detected.TTC dyeing of hippocampus brain slices ex vivo were used to detect the situation of hippocampus neuron damage and the protective effect of serum containing components of JWSNS.The opening probability and the average opening time of NMDA receptor channels were detected by attach on cell patch clamp,the Ca2+ concentrations in single cell of hippocampus neurons were detected by Tillvis ION software.Results CMUS could decrease the sucrose preference and the weights of rats(P

AlM:To find better ways of treating ocular alkali burn, and to reduce the suffering of patients and social burden.METHODS:Totally 100 patients were graded according to the degree of chemical burns to four major groups, each half were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group. Control group underwent conventional treatment. ln addition to conventional therapy, patients in each treatment group were also added a Breviscapine intravenous injection of 40mg daily. Corneal recovery time, changes in vision, degree of corneal opacity, number of corneal neovascularization and other complications were observed. Curative effects were analyzed statistically.
RESULTS:There was no significant difference in levelⅠgroup between control group and treatment group ( P>0. 05); There were significantly different in level Ⅱ, Ⅲand Ⅳ group ( P<0. 05 ). Compared to the degree of corneal opacity and the number of corneal neovascularization, the treatment group was obviously better than the control group(P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: Breviscapine in the treatment of ocular alkali burns can shorten the course of treatment, reduce corneal scarring, and improve vision.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in clinical efficacy on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) between electroacupuncture (EA) and dyne-35 and to explore the effect mechanism.

METHODSSixty-five patients were randomized into an EA group (33 cases) and a western medication group (32 cases). In the EA group, the selected acupoints were Danzhong (CV 17), Qimen (LR 14), Zhongwan (CV 12), Tianshu (ST 25), Guanyuan (CV 4), Zigong (EX-CA 1), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Zusanli (ST 36) and Taichong (LR 3), etc. After the arrival of qi, electric stimulation was attached to the acupoints for 30 min. The treatment was given 3 times a week. In the western medication group, dyne-35 was prescribed on the 5th day of natural menstruation or withdrawal bleeding, one tablet a day, continuously for 21 days. The treatment cycle was 3 months in the two groups. The menstrual condition, body mass, body mass index (BMI), serum testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and LH/FSH were compared before and after treatment in the two groups. The clinical efficacy was assessed in the two groups.

RESULTSThe total effective rate was 90.6% (29/32) in the EA group and was 93.3% (28/30) in the western medication group. The efficacy was similar in the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the levels of LH and LH/FSH were all reduced significantly in the two groups (all P < 0.01). After treatment, T level in serum was reduced apparently in the western medication group (P < 0.05). Before and after treatment, the differences in body mass and BMI in the EA group were more significant than those in the western medication group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONEA is the effective method for PCOS, similar to that of dyne-35. The effect of it for weight loss is superior to dyne-35 and no apparent adverse reactions happen. The effect mechanism of EA is related to the regulation of serum sexual hormone levels and their ratio, as well as to the regulation of body lipid metabolism.

BACKGROUND: Few studies have reported the effect of aldosterone receptor antagonist (ARA) on myocardial remodeling after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study was undertaken to investigate the preventive effect of ARA on myocardial remodeling after AMI.METHODS: A total of 616 patients who had been admitted into the CCU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2008 to January 2010 were studied prospectively. Only 528 patients were observed completely, including 266 of the control group and 262 of the treatment group. There was no statistical difference in age, gender, medical history, admission situation, and treatment between the two groups (P>0.05). The preventive effects of spironolactone on cardiac remodeling, left ventricular function, renal function and blood levels of potassium were evaluated by echocardiography, serum potassium and serum creatinine at one-month and one-year follow-up.RESULTS: The echocardiography indicators such as LVESD, LVEDD, LVEF, LAD-ML and LAD-SI were signifi cantly improved in the treatment group compared with the control group at one year (P<0.05). In the treatment group, LVESD, LVEDD, LVPWT, LVEF, LAD-ML and LAD-SI were more significantly improved at one year than one month (P<0.05,P=0.007 to LVEF), and in the control group LVEF was more signifi cantly improved at one year than one month (P=0.0277). There were no signifi cant differences in serum potassium and serum creatinine levels between the two groups.CONCLUSION: On the basis of conventional treatment, the early combination of low-dose spironolactone (20 mg/d) could inhibit cardiac remodeling at late stage and prevent heart failure.

OBJECTIVETo explore the correlations of dopamine transporter gene (DAT) and dopamine D(2) receptor gene (DRD2) to stuttering.

METHODSTo examine the correlations of the 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in dopaminergic gene (C252T, C1804T, and C1820T in DAT gene, and T1054C and C1072T in DRD(2) gene) to stuttering in Han Chinese individuals, a case-control study involving 112 patients with stuttering and 112 gender-matched controls was carried out. Genotyping was performed by a combined approach using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and pyrosequencing.

RESULTSC1804T showed no polymorphism in either the patients or the control subjects and was therefore excluded from the following analysis. The C allele frequency at C1072T site was significantly higher, but T allele frequency significantly lower in the stuttering group than in the control group. The patients had significantly higher CC and lower CT genotype frequencies than the control group. There were no significant differences in the allelic frequencies of C252T, C1820T and T1054C between the patients and the controls, suggesting a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at these 3 loci.

CONCLUSIONThe presence of the C allele at C1072T in DRD(2) gene is associated with increased susceptibility to stuttering in Han Chinese, whereas the T allele provides protection against the onset of stuttering.

To investigate the effects of active ingredients of Plastrum Testudinis (PT) on serum deprivation-induced apoptosis of epidermal stem cells (ESCs).

BACKGROUND: Both proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) and joint replacement in treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fracture can guarantee early bed removal and reduce long-term bed complications, but there are still more controversies in the selection of indications for the two methods.OBJECTIVE: To observe the differences in clinical effects of artificial joint replacement and PFNA in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture in elderly. METHODS: Totally 56 patients with Evans-Jensen types III-V intertrochanteric femoral fracture aged older than 65 years were enrolled in this study. Follow-up was conducted for 12 months. 11 cases did not complete follow-up visit. Among the remaining 45 cases, 27 patients were treated with artificial joint replacement, and 18 patients were treated with PFNA. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative weight-bearing time were compared between the two groups. Postoperative hip function was compared using Harris score between both groups. Postoperative complications were evaluated by clinical and radiological manifestations in both groups within 1 year after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Operation time and postoperative weight-bearing time were shorter in artificial joint replacement group than in the PFNA group (t=5.596, t=14.142, P < 0.05). (2) At postoperative 1, 3 and 6 months, Harris score was significantly higher in the artificial joint replacement group than in the PFNA group (t=8.301, t=10.017, t=8.593, P < 0.05). Harris score was similar between the two groups at postoperative 1 year (t=1.541, P > 0.05). (3) The total incidence of complications was 22% in artificial joint replacement group and 23% in PFNA group; there were no statistical differences between the two groups (χ2=0.180, P > 0.05). (4) For elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture, artificial joint replacement and PFNA can obtain satisfactory effect. The operation time of artificial joint replacement is short, and early weight-bearing contributes to reducing long-term bed complications.
