Objective To investigate the empathic abilities and the association between empathic abilities and executive function in schizophrenic patients. Methods Empathy with the Interpersonal Reactivity Index-C (IRI-C) and executive function with Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) , Stroop Color-Word Task (Stroop), Spatial n-back Task (n-back) were applied to 74 schizophrenic patients and 69 healthy controls. Results Compared with healthy controls, schizophrenic patients showed significantly lower total scores ((46. 8 ± 10. 0) vs (51.5 ±9.7), P<0.01),and subscores in Perspective Taking ((9.5 ±4.2) vs (12.2 ±3.9) , P<0. 01), Fantasy ((12.5 ±4.2) vs (15.5 ±3.8), P<0.01) and Empathic Concern((15. 9 ±4.2) vs (17. 3 ±3.4), P< 0.05) ,but higher subscore((8.8 ±5. 1) vs (6.5 ±3.7), P<0.01) in personal distress of IRI-C. A significant difference(P<0.01) were fund on the scores of WCST, Stroop task and n-back task between schizophrenic patients and healthy controls. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total scores of IRI-C was negatively correlated with the response administered (Ra), the number of responses errors (Re) and non-perseverative errors (nRpe) of WCST (r= -0.293, r= -0.253, r= -0.272, P<0.05) respectively, that empathic concern sub-score of IRI-C was negatively correlated with Ra, Re, perseverative responses (Rp) and perseverative errors (Rpe) of WCST (r= -0.326, r= -0.300, r= -0.294, r= -0.287, P<0.01 -0.05) respectively , but positively correlated with Rfp. of WCST (r=0.279, P<0.05), and that the fantasy subscore of IRI-C was negatively correlated with the reaction time of B part(r= -0.299, P<0.01) and C part (r= -0.322, P<0.01) of the Stroop task. Conclusion Schizophrenics have a general impairment of empathy and executive function,and affective empathy is related to the executive function, suggesting that the impairment of executive function maybe the one of pathological mechanism for the empathic deficit of patients with schizophrenia.

Objective To observe the effects of fennel essential oil and water extracts (distilled oil is not included) on gastrointestinal motility disorder caused by atropine in mice.Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group atropine, water extracts group, fennel essential oil group, mosapride group. Blank control group and model group atropine were orally administered with normal saline of 0.2 ml/10 g. Water extracts group was orally administered with Water extracts (75 mg/ml) of 0.2 ml/10 g. Fennel essential oil group was orally administered with Essential oil of 300 mg/kg. Mosapride group was orally administered with mosapride(15 mg/ml). Subjects were orally treated for 3 d. After fasting for 18 h, blank control group was intraperitoneally injected saline on the fourth day, and other groups were injected atropine sulfate injection to induce animal model of gastrointestinal motility disorder. Blue dextran(BD)2000 was used to observe the gastric emptying rate and rate of intestinal propulsion. Results Gastric emptying rates of fennel essential oil group, mosapride group, water extracts group and model group atropine were respectively(91.97±4.42)%, (90.26±5.81)%, (80.01±6.27)%,(72.88±9.13)%,and intestinal pushing rates were respectively(53.32±7.49)%,(53.02±9.13)%,(44.16±7.68)%,(37.52±6.19)%.Fennel essential oil, mosapride and water extracts enhanced the gastric emptying and intestinal propulsion in gastrointestinal motility disorder animal caused by atropine(P values were 0.004、0.001、0.004、0.003、0.025、0.015),where Fennel essential oil and mosapride were superior to the water,extracts(P values were 0.000、0.002、0.001、0.001).Conclusion Fennel extracts may promote gastrointestinal movement of atropine-induced gastrointestinal motility disorder in mice and fennel essential oil is the main active ingredient.

Half of rats were separately killed on day 7 and day 14 after surgery, respectively.The degree of adhesion was evaluated according to Phillips 5-scale grade and the feature of this model. Results The scores of intra-abdominal adhesion were significantly lower in the carbachol group than those in operation group both on 7 d and 14 d(P＜0.01 ). Conclusion Volatile oil extracted from Foeniculum vulgare Mill. Seeds may take a significant role in the prevention of postoperative abdominal adhesion in rats.

BACKGROUND:Some control studies attempt to answer the advantages and disadvantages of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy for acute spinal cord injury in adults, but have arrived at different conclusions. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic efficacy of high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults by Meta analysis. METHODS:PubMed, Embase, Cochranel Library, CBMdisc, VIP and WanFang Databases were searched by computer, and relevant Chinese and English orthopedic journals were retrieved by hand. Controled trials related to high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy of acute spinal cord injury in adults were included. The methodology quality of included trials was criticaly assessed. RevMan 5.0 software was used for data analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Nine clinical controled trials were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the conventional therapy, the neurological recovery rate after 24 hours of administration, pneumonia incidence and gastrointestinal reactions increased significantly after high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy. However, there were no statistical differences in the rate of urinary tract infection, nonunion rate and stress ulcer incidence between these two therapies. These findings indicate that the high-dose methylprednisolone sodium succinate therapy on acute spinal cord injury in adults has better outcomes in neurological function recovery, but can lead to higher incidence of lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions. Therefore, lung infection and gastrointestinal reactions should be avoided as much as possible during the course of treatment.
