Objective To search for the most appropriate subzero nonfreezing temperature,and explore the effect of subzero nonfreezing preservation of rat kidney by comparing with the kidney preservation with conventional temperature (4 ℃,0 ℃) and freezing temperature (-4 ℃).Method The thermocouple probeand the temperature data logging device were used to detect the temperature decreasing curves in different parts of the rat kidney and determine the freezing point of the kidney.The perfused kidneys in rats were removed and put into the sterile tubes containing 2.5 mL hypertonic citrate adenine.Following 6 group were set up:-0.8 ℃ group (subzero nonfreezing),-0.5 ℃group (subzero nonfreezing),0 ℃ group (zero nonfreezing),-4 ℃ group (control group),-1 ℃group(subzero freezing)、-4 ℃ group (subzero freezing).After the cryopreservation for 24 and 48 h,the preservative fluid was harvested for measurement of the contents of LDH and AST,and the paraffin sections from the upper pole of the kidney were made for observation of the pathological changes and apoptosis.Result The freezing temperature of kidney was-1℃ and the most appropriate subzero nonfreezing temperature for preserving the rat kidney was-0.8 ℃.Subzero nonfreezing significantly inhibited the basal metabolic rate of the histiocytes,reduced the contents of LDH and AST released due to the membrane damage,and decreased the apoptosis rate [48 h:-0.8 ℃ (40.1 ± 7.0) % vs.4 ℃ (47.1 ± 7.6) %].Under the light microscope after preservation for 48 h,the pathological changes in-0.8 ℃ group were less than in 4 ℃ group.Conclusion Compared with the organ preservation in conventional temperature (0 ℃-4 ℃),the subzero nonfreezing (-0.8 ℃) can further inhibit the basal metabolic rate of histocytes obviously,reduce its energy consumption,and lower the apoptosis caused by low temperature damage.

Objective The volatile oil was further purified to get the patchouli alcohol by molecular distillation taking patchouli oil which contained 23.97% of patchouli alcohol as raw material.Methods The best process parameters,including temperature,feed rate,and scraping rate,of molecular distillation technique for separating patchouli oil were studied by orthogonal test.The content was detected by GC under the conditions of elastic quartz capillary column HP-5,detector temperature 280 ℃,gasification temperature 280 ℃,distributary refer 20∶1.The effects of evaporation temperature on content and extraction rate of the patchouli oil had been investigated and the difference between the molecular and vapor distillations was studied.Results Content and extraction rate of patchouli alcohol under the best evaporation temperature 65 ℃ by molecular distillation reached to 40.71% and 76.55%,respectively.Conclusion The molecular distillation technique that could get the product with higher purity and extracting rate than that by vapor distillation in patchouli oil purification has a very good prospect in industry.

Objective To measure the efficacy of combining motor imagery training ( MIT) with convention-al therapy in improving stroke patients′upper-extremity function. And to seek a cortical reorganization mechanism as-sociated with the improvement using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging ( rs-fMRI) . Methods Ten stroke survivors were selected as an experimental group. They were given motor imagery training for four weeks ( 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week) and conventional rehabilitation therapy ( 40 minutes a day, 5 days a week) . Another 10 healthy counterparts were the control group. Before and after the four weeks of treatment, both groups were as-sessed using the upper extremity Fugl-Meyer assessment ( FMA-UE) and the modified Barthel index ( MBI) . Moreo-ver, rs-fMRI was conducted to assess functional connectivity between cortical regions and the ipsilesional primary mo-tor cortex ( M1) before and after the intervention. The laterality index ( LI) of the primary motor or sensory cortex was also calculated. Results After the intervention, the average FMA-UE and MBI scores of the experimental group had increased significantly. After MIT and conventional therapy there was increased functional connectivity between the ip-silesional and contralesional M1 areas, and between the ipsilesional M1 and contralesional primary sensory cortex ( S1) and frontal lobe, the functional connection between the ipsilesional M1 and the ipsilesional paracentral lobule and the anterior cingutate was also increased. More specifically, the LI relating M1 and S1 decreased after the inter-vention, tending toward the normal level. LIMI decreased significantly. Conclusion The 4-week regimen of motor imagery training and conventional therapy resulted in functional improvement in the upper limbs and greater ability in the activities of daily living. The observed improvements may be due to cortical reorganization, including better func-tional connectivity between the bilateral M1 areas and increased connectivity between the ipsilesional M1 area and some non-motor areas. There is some recovery of symmetry in the bilateral primary motor cortex.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of motor imagery training (MIT) combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote the functional recovery of upper limbs in stroke survivors. To explore the brain network reorganization resulting when motor imagery training (MIT) is combined with conventional rehabilitation to promote the motor recovery of stroke survivors.Methods:Fourteen hemiplegic patients were recruited as the MIT group. They underwent 4 weeks of MIT (30 min/day, 5 days/week) along with conventional rehabilitation treatment. The upper limb section of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA-UE) and the modified Barthel Index (MBI) were used to assess all of the patients, and resting-state fMRI was performed before and after the treatment. Twenty-eight age- and sex-matched healthy subjects also received one-time resting-state fMRI scanning. Granger causal analysis was performed in the MIT group to calculate the changes in effective connection between the ipsilesional primary motor cortex and the whole brain before and after the treatment, and the results were compared with the healthy control group.Results:After the treatment, the average FMA-UE and MBI of the MIT group had increased significantly. Before the intervention, the effective connection mode of the ipsilesional M1 area in the MIT group was significantly different from that of the healthy controls. The causal flow from the ipsilesional M1 area to the bilateral prefrontal cortex had increased abnormally and the causal flow from the contralesional primary motor cortex, the inferior parietal lobule and the cerebellum to the ipsilesional M1 area had decreased significantly. After the treatment, the effective connection pattern of the stroke survivors was nearly normal, and the causal influence from contralesional motor imagery-related brain areas (the superior parietal lobule, inferior parietal lobule, thalamus and the fusiform gyrus) to the ipsilesional M1 area was enhanced. Effective connection from the ipsilesional M1 area to the contralesional cerebellum before the intervention was positively correlated with the improvement in FMA-UE scores, and the effective connection from the contralesional middle frontal gyrus to the ipsilesional M1 area was correlated negatively.Conclusions:The neural mechanism of MIT's effectiveness when it is combined with conventional rehabilitation might be related to the reorganization of effective connections. That would include enhanced causal flow between motor imagery-related brain areas and the contralesional cerebellum and ipsilesional M1 area. Down-regulation of the effective connection from the contralesional middle frontal gyrus to the ipsilesional M1 area also occurs.
