Mutations in presenilins caused most of the autosomal dominant familial forms of Alzheimers disease by altering ? secretase activity. The ? secretase is a large multiprotein complex including presenilin heterodimers,nicastrin,PEN 2 and additional unidentified components.? secretase cleaves beta amyloid precursor protein,Notch,E cadherin,ErbB 4 receptor tyrosine kinase and other membrane proteins.The development of various ? secretase inhibitors not only provides a tool for investigating the structure, function and mechanism of ? secretase,but also presents a therapeutic strategy to slow progression of Alzheimers disease pathology. Threre are various classes of ? secretase inhibitors: compounds containing a difluoro ketone or a difluoro alcohol group, (hydroxyethy) urea peptidomimetics,compounds possessing a hydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere, short helical peptides, non peptidic inhibitors derived from 4 chloro isocoumarin synthon, compounds containing alanyl moiety.Among these species of ? secretase inhibitors,those which selectively affect Abeta production are especially the most promising drugs to treat Alzheimers disease.

Follow-up is the key link for the continued rehabilitation of stroke patients after discharge. It is conducive to the dynamic assessment of the disease and the recovery of dysfunction, to improving the medication compliance of patients, and to reducing the risk of complications and stroke recurrence. With the development of society, the contents and forms of follow-up for stroke patients are becoming more and more abundant; however, the problems such as incomprehensive and not unified contents, a lack of standardization, and high rate of lost still exist. This paper reviews the necessity of follow-up and its application in the rehabilitation of stroke patients after discharge, so as to provide the reference for perfecting the management of follow-up in community rehabilitation for stroke patients.

Objective To compare the role of CTE and CE on the diagnosis of small bowel diseases and evaluate their advantages in patients with different indications.Methods Patients underwent both CTE and CE(interval time <2 weeks)at our institution in recent 3 years were enrolled.The positive detection rates,lesion properties and characteristics of CTE and CE were compared.The diagnostic accuracy of combined method was also analyzed.Results A total of 47 patients were enrolled and the indications included suspected or established Crohn′s disease (28 cases),unexplained abdominal pain (14 cases), obscure gastrointestinal bleeding(3 cases),insufficient small bowel obstruction(1 case)and protein losing enteropathy(1 case).Diagnostic yield of CTE and CE for whole small bowel disorders showed no significant difference(CE 83.0% VS CTE 78.7%,P =0.791).For suspected or established CD,CE had a higher diagnostic accuracy than CTE (78.6% VS 35.7%,P =0.002 ),especially in detecting lesions in the jejunum(CE 50.0% VS CTE 7.1%,P =0.002).The diagnostic accuracy reached 100.0% when two meth-ods were combined.For unexplained abdominal pain,no significant difference was found in the diagnostic ac-curacy of CE and CTE(CTE 42.8% VS CE 50.0%,P =1.000).Diagnostic accuracy of combining CTE and CE was 85.7%.Conclusion CTE and CE are both valuable in detecting small bowel lesions.For pa-tients with suspected or established CD,CE is better than CTE.For patients with unexplained abdominal pain,a combination of CTE and CE may be a better strategy than use CTE or CE alone.

Aim To investigate the effect of Salvianol-ic acid A (Sal A)on mice with isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial infraction and its possible mecha-nisms.Methods The mice were subcutaneously in-jected with ISO (8 mg·kg-1 )to induce myocardial in-farction.The myocardial protective effect of Salvianolic acid A was evaluated from mortality rate,electrocardio-gram (ECG),heart function,myocardial infarction in-dex,serum myocardial enzymes and its action mecha-nisms were explored from inflammation,anti-oxidation and cells apoptosis.Results Salvianolic acid A dose-dependently enhanced the heart function of myocardial infarction mice,reduced the heart index,inhibited the myocardial enzyme leakage,showed obvious myocardi-al protection effects.ELISA results showed that Salvi-
anolic acid A could reduce the expression of myocardial inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6(interleukin-6,IL-6),TNF-α(tumornecrosis factor-α,TNF-α).West-ern-blotting confirmed that Salvianolic acid A could in-crease the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, reduce the expression of apoptosis protein Bax,and raise the phosphorylation level of PI3K and Akt.Con-clusion Salvianolic acid A displays a significant pro-tective effect against isoproterenol-induced myocardial infarction and its mechanism may be related to the in-crease of PI3K/Akt signal pathway and the inhibition of cell apoptosis and inflammatory reaction.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that composite scaffold of chitosan and poly-L-lactic acid has good biocompatibility with some cells. OBJECTIVE:To study the biocompatibility of poly-L-lactic acid reinforced by chitosan and olfactory ensheathing cells. METHODS:In experimental group, olfactory ensheathing cells from Sprague-Dawley rats aged 1-3 days were incubated onto chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid film. And in control group, olfactory ensheathing cells were co-cultured with poly-L-lysine. The proliferative ability of olfactory ensheathing cells was detected and the cells were observed with immunofluorescence histochemical staining at 1, 3, 5, 7 days after culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Olfactory ensheathing cells could survive on the chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid film, and the cytotoxic grade wasⅠ. Morphology of the cells in the experimental group was round or oval, with little processes and the cells aggregated into groups. One day after implantation, the periphery cells of the mass extended short projections and gradual y spread outward;3 days after implantation, the cells spread and most of the cells generated projections, most of which were bipolar or tri-polar;5 days after implantation, cel processes significantly extended, most cells were bipolar and tri-polar cells, while some were oval cells and irregular triangular cells;7 days after implantation, the cel density increased, and cel processes extended. Cel morphology of the control group had similar characteristics as the experimental group. There was no obvious difference between the control and the experimental group in number, perimeter or area of the cells (P>0.05). It showed that chitosan-reinforced poly-L-lactic acid had good biocompatibility with olfactory ensheathing cells.

Objective To study the characteristics of craniocerebral injury caused by the handgun bullet impacting on the bulletproof helmet.Methods Fourteen healthy landrace pigs were involved and randomly divided into injury group(n =9)and control group(n =5).The landrace pigs of the injury group were shot vertically on the head under the protection of helmet plate with 9 mm handgun bullet at velocity of 360 m/s.While the landrace pigs of the control group were dealt with the same process as the injury group except for use of unarmed handgun bullet of the same ammunition dose.The changes of vital sign in the early period and the retina injury at two hours after injury were observed.Porcine cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)at pre-injury and at three hours post-injury were obtained for investigating the levels of neuron specific enolase(NSE)andαⅡ-spectrin protein.Then,the landrace pigs were sacrificed and dissected to examine the general morphological changes of the brain.The brain cortex was taken,fixed and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for microscopic observation.Results The landrace pigs in the injury group manifested decrease of the blood pressure and increase of the heart rate and respiratory rate in the early stage after injury.General morphological observation found retinal hemorrhage(3/9),skull fracture(3/9)and brain surface damage including local impact lesion(9/9)and contrecoup lesion(9/9),with severe impact lesion than contrecoup lesion.Optical microscopic observation revealed acute injury of the cerebral cortex neuron both on the impact and contrecoup locations.The concentrations of NSE and αⅡ-spectrinwere significantly increased in CSF three hours after injury(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The handgun bullet impacts on the pig head protected by the bulletproof helmet may induce blunt craniocerebral injury in the early period,with severe impact lesion than contrecoup lesion.Therefore,traumatic brain injury of the soldiers armed with the helmets should be stressed and managed early.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a new type of fixation tape for tracheal catheter in intensive care patients.Methods A purposive sampling study was conducted. Ninety patients experienced oral tracheal intubation for mechanical ventilation, and admitted to respiratory intensive care unit (ICU) of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from November 2015 to February 2017 were enrolled. All the patients were randomly (random number) divided into the control group and the observation group with 45 patients in each group. The patients in control group was treated with the traditional medical adhesive tape and fixation belt to fix endotracheal tube, while the patients in observation group was treated with a new type of tracheal catheter fixation tape. The fixation effect, skin complication rate, patient's comfort level, nursing workload and satisfaction were evaluated in both groups.Results There were 6 patients with mild displacement, 2 patients with moderate displacement and 1 patient with severe displacement in the control group, while there was no catheter displacement or detachment occurred in the observation group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 = 2.944,P = 0.003). In the control group, there were 39 patients with facial skin redness,6 patients with facial skin damage, 36 patients with neck skin redness, and 2 patients with neck skin damage. In the observation group, there were no facial skin complications and only 2 patients with neck skin redness, and the skin complication rate was significantly higher than that of the control group (facial skin:Z = 9.173,P = 0.000; neck skin:Z = 7.549,P = 0.000). Compared with the control group, the patients' comfort levels were significantly elevated in the observation group (the intolerance patients: 9 vs. 24, the extreme discomfort patients: 4 vs. 8,Z = 3.695,P = 0.000). The total changing times of the fixation belt and operating time for each change in the observation group were significantly decreased as compared with those of control group [changing times of the fixation belt (times): 1.89±0.77 vs. 3.86±1.18, operating time for each change (minutes): 10.31±1.47 vs. 15.78±1.89, bothP < 0.01]. Nursing satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (100% vs. 33.3%,P < 0.01).Conclusions The new fixation tape for tracheal catheter could significantly reduce the catheter displacement and detachment rate, and decreasethe incidence of facial skin injury. It is easy to learn and worth to generalize clinically.
