To explore the feasibility of sevoflurane used in obstetric anesthesia and examine its effects on neonatal Apgar scores.A total of 60 cases of term primipara were assigned into epidural anesthesia assisted sevoflurane inhalation group (experimental group,n =30) and epidural anesthesia group (control group,n =30).In the experimental group after skin incision,the patients could not tolerate the anesthesia mask inhalation of sevoflurane.And the control group received no adjuvant drug.The maternal inhalation of sevoflurane to delivery of fetus after 1 min,5 min,10 min Apgar scores were analyzed.And the inhalation of sevoflurane to fetal childbirth duration were 4-10 min in two groups.The intergroup difference of newborn Apgar scores had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Epidural anesthesia assisted sevoflurane inhalation for cesarean section had no significant effect on neonatal Apgar scores.

BACKGROUND: Much research focuses on the link between β-amyloid peptide and neuron death, but there is little work about white matter alterations in the Alzheimer's disease.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anterior commissure pathological alteration in the APP/PS1 transgenic mice which model brain amyloidosis of Alzheimer's disease.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A grouping observational study based on the histology was performed in the Department of Neurology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology between September 2007 and September 2008.MATERIALS: Female transgenic APP/PS1 mice [Thy1 APP751 SL (Swedish mutation KM670/671NL, London mutation V7171 introduced in human sequence APP751) × human mutation gene PS1 M146L], control animals were amyloid-deposit free female PS1 mice. A total of 28 mice were divided into young group (2 months, 8 APP/PS1, 7 PS1) and old group (24 months, 6 APP/PS1, 7 PS1).METHODS: The slides of brain tissue were stained with Congo red and antibody against amyloid beta (4G8) to detect brain amyloidosis in Alzheimer's disease transgenic model. Myelin was stained with gold chloride and axon was stained with anti-neurofilament M antibody. The anterior commissure axonal density and myelination were quantitatively analyzed with the relative optical density value of staining with densitometry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The staining of intracellular and extracellular amyloid beta; ②the average area of anterior commissure in the coronal brain tissue sections; ④the relative optical density value of myelin and axon staining in the anterior commissure.RESULTS: A lot of Congo red positive amyloid beta plaques were observed in the cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and anterior commissure of aged APP/PS1 mice, while intracellular amyloid beta was only present in the cortex of young APP/PS1 mice. A prominent increase in the surface area of the anterior commissure was observed in aged PS1 mice compared with young PS1 mice and aged APP/PS1 mice. The neurofilament staining remarkably decreased, both in aged APP/PS1 and aged PS1 mice; an increase trend of myelination in the anterior commissure was observed both the forementioned groups. Different phenotype analysis demonstrated that axonal density and myelination was comparative in the young APP/PS1 and young PS1 mice; axonal density of aged APP/PS1 mice decreased remarkably compared with aged PS1 control mice, while myelination of aged APP/PS1 mice had no significant difference with aged PS1 mice.CONCLUSION: There exists an axon loss in the anterior commissure in the aged APP/PS1 mice with a complete myelin sheath. The amyloid beta shows a direct toxicity on the axon.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of ginger-partitioned moxibustion at Zhiyang (GV9) in treating stomachache due to deficient cold.MethodEligible subjects with stomachache due to deficient cold were randomized into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was intervened by ginger-partitioned moxibustion at Zhiyang, while the control group was by conventional acupuncture treatment. The clinical efficacies were then observed.ResultThe total effective rate was 93.3% in the treatment group versus 73.3% in the control group, and the total effective rate of the treatment groupwas significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).ConclusionGinger-partitioned moxibustion can produce a better therapeutic efficacy in treating stomachache due to deficient cold than conventional acupuncture.

Alzheimer′s disease ( AD) is the most common disease leading to dementia .With aging of the population , the morbidity of AD is increasing significantly , which brings serious burden personally and socially .So the early diagnosis of AD has be-come the hotspot in the current research field .In order to highlight new ideas for the early diagnosis of AD , the current review will ana-lyze from the first international diagnostic criteria for AD dementia to the latest conceptual framework for research on subjective cogni -tive decline in preclinical Alzheimer′s disease.

AIM: To comprehensively investigate the current status of cataract surgery in Leshan city, and find the existing problems according to the survey results as a guide to cataract prevention and treatment in future.
METHODS: We surveyed the status of cataract surgery containing equipments, surgeons and surgery conditions in 17 ophthalmology departments of general hospitals from Leshan including 6 counties, 1 county-level city and 4 districts during 2012. Cataract surgery methods, according to various surgery financial resources, surgical performances and surgical incision, were divided into phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation ( Phaco + IOL ) , extracapsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation ( ECCE + IOL ) , and each method contained 2 groups. We analyzed the outcomes following preoperative examination, surgeons, surgical methods, surgical equipments, types of IOL, surgical quantity, surgical results, and intraoperative complication.
RESULTS: In whole city there were 16 operating microscopes, 43 slit lamp microscopes, 12 non-contact tonometers, 1 intraocular lens Master, 8 optical A/B type ultrasonic examination systems, 4 YAG lasers and 12 phacoemulsification instruments. There 15 doctors could complete cataract surgery independently, and 5 of them were phacoemulsification surgeons. The total number of completed cataract surgeries reached 6 211 eyes, containing 3 564 eyes for Phaco+IOL ( 57%) ( preoperative visual acuity ≥0. 3 in Phaco+IOL1 were 1 520 eyes, 24%) and 2 647 eyes for ECCE+IOL ( 43%) ( 1 533 eyes in ECCE+IOL1, 25%). In various groups, off-blindness rate was 94. 80%-100%, off-disability rate was 90. 41%-100%, and 94. 96% - 100% received intraocular lens implantation, intraoperative complication rate was 1. 00%-15. 10%.
CONCLUSION: The distribution of surgeons and equipments in the whole city is unbalanced, and the utilization rate of phaco equipment is low. The levels are different in various hospitals on surgical technique, surgical quantity and surgical results. Phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation is considered as the main therapy for cataract, and as a transition to dioptric and personalized cataract surgery. The surgical condition of the city is good, but the proportion of cataract surgery for prevention of blindness in Leshan city is low, and the surgical technique remains to be further improved.

Objective To establish a safe and effective method for obtaining fetus of rhesus monkey.Methods The pregnant process of rhesus monkey was monitored by B ultrasonography,and the pregnant rhesus monkeys in different stages of pregnant were randomly chosen.Mifepristone was subcutaneously injected to pregnant rhesus while misoprostol was put to their posterior fornix.The efficacy of this method was evaluated by the results of bishop score,the rate of pregnancy termination and the quality of total RNA extracted from brain samples of rhesus fetus.ResultsThe scores of bishop score and rates of fetus delivery of experiment group were both higher than that of control group(P

Objective: To examine the correlation of symptomatic feature and exploratory eye movements in schizophrenia. Methods: The eye movements of 60 patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy control subjects were measured by the eye-mark recorder (model IV, Japan) and symptom profiles of patients were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) . Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between five-factor scores of PANSS, positive symptoms, negative symptoms and exploratory eye movements respectively. Results: The differences of all indices of eye movements between schizophrenic groups and normal control group had statistical significance ( P
