?AlM: To evaluate the expressions and significances of endoplasmic reticulum stress related protein ( BlP ) , hypoxia-inducible factor-1α ( HlF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in the retina of diabetic rats.
?METHODS:Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley ( SD) rats were chosen and divided randomly into 6 groups:normal control 2mo (C2m, n = 12), diabetes mellitus 2mo (D2m, n=12), normal control 4mo (C4m, n=12), diabetes mellitus 4mo (D4m, n = 12), normal control 6mo (C6m, n=12) and diabetes mellitus 6mo (D6m, n=12 ) . The diabetes mellitus mouse were induced by intraperitoneal injection of 0. 1mol/L streptozotocin (STZ, 65mg/kg). The expression of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF in the retina were detected by enzyme- linked immuno sorbent assay. The location of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF in epiretinal membranes were investigated by immunohistochemistry staining.
?RESULTS: BlP were significantly increase than control groups in all DM groups with the course of diabetes ( P<0. 01). HlF-1α were detected higher than control groups in all DM groups (P< 0. 05), but there was no statistical significance among treatment groups. VEGF in D4m and D6m groups were higher than control groups (P<0. 05), and there was statistical significance between D4m and D6m groups. BlP can be detected in control groups a little, mainly in the inner limiting membrane and ganglion cell layers. HlF - 1α cannot be detected in control groups, meanwhile it can be detected in all layers in DM. VEGF can be detected in control groups a little, it mainly be detected in inner nuclear layer, outer nuclear layer, around retinal vessel and ganglion cell layers in DM groups.
?CONCLUSlON:The expressions of BlP, HlF-1α and VEGF increase in the retina of diabetic rats than control groups with progressive of diabetes mellitus, both endoplasmic reticulum stress and HlF-1α signal path play important role in the progress of diabetic retinopathy.

It is very important to have a clear and widely accepted definition and classification for clinical diagnosis, rehabilitation, research and social support of children with cerebral palsy, as well as in establishing a regional, national and global monitoring database. There are some new changes about the definition, clinical types and function classification of cerebral palsy recently domestic and abroad, which pay more attention to assessments on function and participation in daily life.

Objective To define whether correlation exists between the enlargement of lateral ventricles and motor development delay. Methods Motor development was assessed with Peabody Developmental Motor Scale (PDMS) in 28 children with cerebral palsy. Correlation between computerized tomography (CT) findings of enlargement of lateral ventricles (ventricle index,body index,width index and frontal horn index) and motor quotients of PDMS(GMQ,FMQ and TMQ) was analyzed. Results Width index was correlated with all three motor quotients (GMQ,FMQ and TMQ)( P

Based on the community-based and family-centered concepts, the Chain Rehabilitation Services for children with cerebral palsy (CP) integrates all kinds of social resources to build the early screening network and community rehabilitation centers, and to enhance the integration of rehabilitation and educational services. This chain model makes it possible to coordinate the related institutes to provide better services for children with CP. Better services and better systematic management of children with CP in Shanghai and surrounding areas has also been achieved through this project.

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of ultrasound real-time elastography in thyroid diffuse diseases.Methods Eleven elastic quantitative parameters of 123 patients with thyroid diffuse diseases and 42 healthy volunteers obtained from the ultrasound real-time elastography were analyzed with principal components analysis to attain a comprehensive evaluation value which was named stiffness index(SI),reflecting the organization elastic information of different thyroid diffuse diseases.SI among each group was compared by ANOVA.Results Chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis SI was 86.37±20.45,subacute thyroiditis SI was 86.14±19.95,primary hyperthyroidism SI was 54.68±21.69,normal control group SI was 41.34±15.59,respectively.The SI between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis,subacute thyroiditis,primary hyperthyroidism and normal controls had significant statistical differences (P<0.05),the SI between primary hyperthyroidism and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis,subacute thyroiditis had significant statistical differences (P<0.05),the SI between chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and subacute thyroiditis had no significant statistical difference (P>0.05).Conclusions Ultrasound real-time elastography could indirectly reflect the stiffness information of thyroid lension tissue and have a certain degree of diagnosis value in thyroid diffuse disease.

Objective To study the combined toxic effects of fluoride and aluminum on the liver of mouse and the probable mechanism. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into nine groups and treated with fluoride and aluminum through drinking water:control(tap water)group, 50 mg/L fluoride group, 150 mg/L fluoride group, 200 mg/L aluminum group, 600 mg/L aluminum group, 50 mg/L fluoride+200 mg/L aluminum group, 50 mg/L fluoride+600 mg/L aluminum group, 150 mg/L fluoride+200 mg/L aluminum group, 150 mg/L fluoride+600 mg/L aluminum group. After 24 weeks of treatment, the activity of ALT, AST, the content of TBIL, DBIL, IBIL, ALB, Ca, P and Mg in the serum was determined. Results Different doses of single fluoride or fluoride+aluminum led to significant different changes in the liver function(single fluoride:F=2.61, P0.05). Compared with the control group, the Ca level in the serum decreased in the exposed groups except 150 mg/L fluoride+600 mg/L aluminum group(P0.05). Conclusion The combination of fluoride and aluminum at certain levels has a toxic effect on the liver, but the combination of fluoride and aluminum at high doses shows an antagonistic effect.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, advantages and pitfalls of trans-gastric, trans-colonic and trans-umbilical peritoneoscopy, and to compare pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) with hybrid NOTES. Methods Two female pigs of 30kg were used in the study, one for pure NOTES, the other for hybrid NOTES. Each pig received trans-gastric, trans-colonic and trans-umbilical peritoneoscopy, respectively, followed by postmortem examination for organic lesions and closure of incisions.The two approaches were compared in terms of intra-operative situation and manipulation. Results The vital signs of the pigs were stable during the procedures, with no peri-incision organic lesions. There were blind areas in trans-gastric as well as in trans-colonic peritoneoscopy. It was easier to close the colonic incision than the gastric one. The situation in trans-umbilical peritoneoscopy was similar to laparoscopic surgery. Hybrid NOTES seemed superior to pure NOTES with regard to safe access, stable pneumo-peritoneum and adequate visualization. Conclusion Three routes for NOTES appear to be reasonable and feasible. Hybrid NOTES is more effective and safer than pure NOTES with current instruments.

Objective To explore the influence on college students' contrast sensitivity how dual N-back working memory training task based on Gabor,and to provide new training method for improving the contrast sensitivity.Methods 42 college students were randomly divided into three groups:a control group (17 students) ; a working memory training group (13 students) ; and a Gabor orientation training group (12 students).The control group received no training,while the working memory training group and the Gabor orientation training group received N-back working memory training and Gabor training,respectively,over three weeks (5 days a week,approx.half an hour per day).The above-mentioned two training methods performed with the same visual stimulus,i.e.,the Gabor patch with a fixed spatial frequency and contrast.The contrast sensitivity of the 42 students was measured and recorded using OPTEC6500 before and after training.Results In the working memory training group,a salient gain in contrast sensitivity was observed after the training (before:(1.48 ± 0.26) log,after:(1.87 ± 0.13)log),with a statistically significant difference (t =-6.20,P < 0.05),while both the Gabor orientation training group (before:(1.75 ± 0.19) log,after:(1.68 ± 0.30) log) and the control group (before:(1.67 ±0.25) log,after:(1.61 ± 0.26) log)) showed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) in terms of contrast sensitivity.Conclusion N-back working memory training shows a positive effect on improving contrast sensitivity in Gabor identification training,and can be used as a means to improve contrast sensitivity.
