Objective To explore the mechanism of early-onset sub-clinical seizures following acute cerebral infarction. Methods Right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats models were made by threads methods. Sub-clinical seizures were detected with recording apparatus at the same time. Glial glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) were detected by immunohistochemical method in rats hippocampus. Results Sub-clinical seizures occurred in 27.4% rats following MCAO. The GLT-1 expressions in CA_1 and CA_3 regions were lower in sub-clinical seizure group[(344.5?35.0)?m~2 and (360.4?13.5)?m~2 respectively] than those in the controls[(447.0?22.8)?m~2 in CA_1 region and (402.3?28.5)?m~2 in CA_3 region]. But there were not significant differences of GLT-1 immunoreactivities in dentate gyrus between the two groups above. Conclusion Early-onset sub-clinical seizures occur following the acute MCAO in rats, which should be related to the decreased expression of GLT-1 in CA_1 and CA_3 of hippocampus.

To investigate the effects of clonidine on controlled hypotension induced by sodium nitroprusside,twenty-four patients (male 17,femai 7,aged 20 to 58 years,ASA Ⅰ to Ⅱ)scheduled for elective craniotomy,were randomly assigned to two groups:control group (Ⅰ,n=12),clonidine group (Ⅱ,n=12) with premedication of clonidine 5?g/kg P. O.. The MAP of both groups decreased by 40% with the infusion of 0.01% sodium nitroprusside solution (SNP). The results showed that the blood pressure was more easily reduced and maitained in group Ⅱ,and the MAP after discontinuing of SNP in group Ⅱ was lower than in group Ⅰ(P

AIM To investigate if the beneficial effects of β-aescin on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced cerebral injury are related to the inhibition of expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines. METHODS Rats were pretreated ig with β-aescin for 7 d and then subjected to cerebral I/R injury induced by a middle cerebral artery occlusion. The infarct volume and the neurological deficit were determined by the method of TTC staining and the Longa's score. The permeability of the blood-brain barrier was evaluated by measurement of the Evans blue (EB)content in the brain with spectrophotometer. The serum contents of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) protein were determined by radioimmunoassay and ELISA assay. The expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) was evaluated with Western blot. RESULTS β-Aescin significantly reduced infarct volume (P<0.05 or P<0.01), ameliorated the neurological deficit and reduced the permeability of blood-brain barrier (P<0.05). Pretreated with β-aescin 30 and 60 mg·kg-1, the serum content of IL-8 and the expressions of TNF-α and NF-κB protein in brain tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION β-Aescin has protective effects on cerebral injury through inhibiting the expression and release of the inflammatory mediators after I/R injury.

Objective:To explore the multiple meditation effects of emotional intelligence and self-esteem between interpersonal initiative personality and social positive adaption in left-behind junior high school students.Methods:Totally 331 left-behind junior high school students [165 boys,160 girls,average age of (14.5 ± 1.2) years] were selected.They were assessed with the Interpersonal Self-Support Scale for Middle School Students (ISSS-MSS),Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (EIQ),Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and Social Adjustment Scale (SAS-YB).Results:The scores of social positive adaption were positively correlated with the scores of interpersonal initiative personality,EIQ and RSES (r ＝ 0.47-0.67,Ps ＜ 0.001).Path analysis showed that interpersonal initiative personality had direct effects on social positive adaption (β ＝ 0.47,P ＜0.001).Mediation modeling showed that interpersonal initiative personality could exert effects on social positive adaption indirectly through the mediating effect of not only emotional intelligence,but also self-esteem (x2/df＝ 3.03,TLI ＝ 0.87,CFI ＝ 0.89,RMSEA ＝ 0.08).Conclusion:The present study indicates that parallel multiple mediation model of emotional intelligence and self-esteem could explain the mechanism of influence of interpersonal initiative personality on social positive adaption appropriately.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors associated with regional lymph node metastasis in colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 79 patients with colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors of regional lymph node metastasis were evaluated by multifactor Logistic regression analysis. Results The incidence of regional lymph node metastasis was 30.4% (24/79), among which para-intestinal lymph node metastasis was in 14 cases, mesenteric lymph node metastasis in 6 cases, and mesenteric root central lymph node metastasis in 4 cases. No patient was found to have skip metastasis and mesenteric root distant lymph node metastasis. The single factor analysis results showed that the tumor diameter, ulceration in mucous membrane, depth of invasion, pathological grading and invasion of lymphatic vessel were associated with regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm (P<0.05). The multifactor Logistic regression analysis results showed that the tumor diameter, pathological grading and invasion of lymphatic vessel were was associated with regional lymph node metastasis in patients with colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm (P<0.05). Conclusions The colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm patients with larger tumor diameter, G2 and G3 of pathological grading and invasion of lymphatic vessel have higher incidence of regional lymph node metastasis; the mesenteric lymph node and para-intestinal lymph node should be paid special attention to in radical resection.
