Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the liver function of offspring rats de?livered by cesarean section. Methods Twenty?four Sprague?Dawley rats, at 20 days of gestation, weig?hing 230-270 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), propofol 2.0 mg∕kg group (group P2), propofol 4.0 mg∕kg group (group P4), and propofol 8.0 mg∕kg group (group P8). In P2, P4 and P8 groups, the corresponding doses of propofol were injected intravenously, and the cesarean section was performed at 30 min after loss of righting reflex. In group C, the pregnant rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation at the corresponding time point, and the offspring rats were removed immediately and inhaled oxygen sufficiently. The neonatal rats were sacrificed immediate?ly, and the blood samples were taken from the heart for determination of plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) concentrations, and the livers were removed and cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin for microscopic examination of the pathological changes. Results Compared with group C, the plasma ALT and AST concentrations in the offspring rats were significantly increased in P2, P4 and P8 groups (P<0.05). Compared with group P2, the plasma ALT and AST concentrations in the offspring rats were significantly increased in P 4 and P 8 groups ( P<0.01). Compared with group P4, the plasma ALT and AST concentrations in the offspring rats were signifi?cantly increased in group P8 (P<0.01). In P2, P4 and P8 groups, marked pathological changes of liver tissues were observed, and the severity was gradually aggravated in turn in offspring rats. Conclusion Propofol can induce damage to the livers of offspring rats delivered by cesarean section in a dose?dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the influence of different intervention models on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Methods Eighty-eight children aged from 12-46 months and newly diagnosed ASD were randomly assigned to different intervention models, including standard intervention group (T1, n=55), non-standard intervention group (T2, n=11), and family intervention group (T3, n=22). The intervention data was recorded including time and methods. Chinese revised version of Psycho-Educational Profile (C-PEP) and social adaptive behavior scale were used to test the development quota?tion (DQ) before and after intervention. Results There were significant statistical differences in C-PEP scale and pathologi?cal score before and after intervention in T1 group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in the pathological score, in?terpersonal and cooperative behaviors, sensory patterns and language barriers after intervention in T2 group (P<0.05). And there were no significant changes in the developmental quotient. The perception, gross motor, cognitive performance and the developmental quotient of oral cognition were significantly reduced after the intervention in T3 group (P<0.05). There was no significant change in pathology score. Results showed that there were significant differences in the imitation, perception, cognitive performance, oral cognition and general development before and after the intervention between three groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion A significant effect is found in children with autism spectrum disorder after standard intervention.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical efficacy differences among warming-promotion acupuncture, regular acupuncture and psychological care for post-earthquake depression.

METHODSNinety cases of post-earthquake depression in Gansu province were randomly divided into a warming-promotion acupuncture group, a regular acupuncture group and a care group, 30 cases in each one. The psychological treatment was applied in the care group; the regular acupuncture at Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1)), Fengchi (GB 20), Shenmen (HT 7), Yang-lingquan (GB 34), Taichong (LR 3) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) was used in the regular acupuncture group; based on the treatment of regular acupuncture group, the warming-promotion acupuncture was applied in the warming-promotion acupuncture group, once a day. Ten days were taken as one course with an interval of two days between two courses. Totally 3 treatment courses were completed. The Hamilton depression (HAMD) scale before and after treatment in each group was observed while the efficacy was analyzed.

RESULTSAll three treatments were effective for depression. The total cured rate was 86.67% (26/30) in the warming-promotion acupuncture group, which was obviously superior to 50.00% (15/30) in the regular acupuncture group (P < 0.01) and 33.33% (10/30) in the care group (P < 0.001). After the treatment, the score of HAMD was all reduced in three groups, in which the effect in warming-promotion acupuncture group was superior to that in the regular acupuncture group and care group (9.02 +/- 2.37 vs 10.73 +/- 2.28 and 11.05 +/- 2.01, P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe warming-promotion acupuncture has positive effect on post-earthquake depression, which has special effect and is worthy of clinical generalization and application.

Objective To evaluate clinical outcome and complications of mesh-augmented vaginal reconstructive surgery in treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Methods From Feb 2007 to Jan 2009, meshaugmented vaginal reconstructive surgery were performed on 66 women with pelvic organ prolapse stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Pre and postoperative symptoms, pelvic organ prolapse quantitation (POP-Q) stage and pelvic floor distress inventory-short form 20 (PFDI-20) measurements were studied to assess anatomic and quality-of-life outcome. Operative complications were also analyzed. Results Totally 65 patients underwent successful surgeries. The rate of follow-up was 97% (63/65) with a median follow-up of 17. 2 months. Subjective cure rate and objective cure rate were both 97% (61/63) at 6 and 12 months after surgeries, 51 women completed PFDI-20 measurements and scores were 102 ± 50 before surgery, 16 ± 21 at 6 months and 15 ± 20 at 12 months. It reached statistical difference when scores were compared before and after surgeries ( P ＜0. 05). Among 66 patients, 2 patients underwent organ injuries, 2 had recurrent prolapse, 4 had meshrelated complications and 1 had severe de novo stress urinary incontinence. Six patients underwent second surgery. Conclusions Mesh-augmented vaginal reconstructive surgery in treatment of pelvic organ prolapsed brought satisfied clinical outcome. The incidence of mesh-related complications was low and secondary operative interventions were effective.

AIM To investigate the neuroprotective effects and possible mechanisms of saponins from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. (SAaB) on neuronal damage induced by amyloid β-protein fragments 25-35 (Aβ25-35). METHODS Cultured mouse peritoneal macrophages were stimulated with Aβ25-35 (20 μmol·L-1) for 0.5, 1, 2 and 6 h or preincubated with SAaB (10, 30 and 100 μmol·L-1)for 10 min or mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) specific inhibitors (p38 MAPK inhibitor SB 203580 and MEK specific inhibitor PD98059) for 30 min prior to the addition of Aβ25-35(20 μmol·L-1). After stimulation with Aβ25-35 for the indicated times, total cellular extracts were prepared for Western blotting of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and p38 MAPK. After stimulation with Aβ25-35 for 48 h, the supernatants of cultured macrophages were collected for quantification of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nitric oxide (NO) and protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in macrophages was determined by immunocytochemical staining. To determine whether SAaB has protective effect against neuronal apoptosis mediated by Aβ25-35-induced macrophages activation, macrophages were stimulated with Aβ25-35 in the presence or absence of SAaB (10, 30 and 100 μmol·L-1) for 48 h and then the cell-free supernatant of Aβ25-35-stimulated macrophages was transferred to the culture of cerebellar granule neurons for 72 h. Neuronal apoptosis was quantitated by scoring the percentage of cells with apoptotic nuclear morphology after Hoechst 33258 staining. RESULTS Aβ25-35(20 μmol·L-1) significantly induced increase in phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-p38 MAPK protein expression without affecting total protein levels and in the production of TNF-α and NO in cultured macrophages. Aβ25-35-induced increase of TNF-α production in macrophages involved activation of ERK1/2 signal pathway. Importantly, TNF-α and NO generated by cultured macrophages after Aβ25-35 stimulation may be responsible for the majority of the neuronal apoptosis. SAaB (30 and 100 μmol·L-1) significantly suppressed Aβ25-35-induced increase in phospho-ERK1/2 and phospho-p38 MAPK protein. In addition, SAaB (10, 30 and 100 μmol·L-1) also decreased the level of TNF-α and NO in supernatants of cultured macrophage and inhibited Aβ25-35-induced increase in iNOS protein expression of macrophages. Neuronal apoptosis mediated by Aβ25-35-induced macrophage activation was also significantly attenuated by treatment with SAaB (10, 30 and 100 μmol·L-1). CONCLUSION SAaB protects neurons against the neuronal cell death induced by Aβ25-35. The beneficial effects of SAaB may be related to the reduction of TNF-α and NO from activated macrophage induced by Aβ25-35.
