Objective: To study the effect of chronic stress on spatial learning and memory and nitric oxide (NO) in hippocampus of the rats Method: Chronic stress model was established by electric-foot accompanied with noise Morris watermaze was used to observe spatial learning and memory abilities, contents of NO and activities of NOS in hippocampus were measured during the test Result: The spatial learning and memory of chronic stress rats were significantly decreased in Morris watermaze Contents of NO (3 87?0 47 nmol/mgpro) and NOS activity (102 64?13 33 pmol/mgpro/min) in hippocampus of the stress rats were significantly higher than that of normal rats (2 76?0 43 nmol/mgpro, 78 25?10 67 pmol/mgpro/min respectively) Conclusion: Chronic stress impairs spatial learning and memory abilities of rats, which may be related to the increase of NO in their hippocampus

Objective: To improve the micro-manipulation of mouse fertilized eggs,promoting its survival rate and productivity in pseudo-pregnant mice. Methods: DNA fragments of definite concentration and size were used for micro-manipulation with conventional and improved methods, then their survival rate of manupulated eggs and productivity of pseudo-pregnant mice were analyzed and compared. Results: With improved methods, the survival rate of eggs increased from 60.3% to 79.5%, the productivity of pseudo-pregnant mice and offspring increased from 35.7% to 56.8% and 10.1% to 14.1% respectively. Conclusion: The improved methods of micro-manipulation can be used in transgenic mouse production.

Tooth extraction is a common operation in oral surgery. Traditional-extraction instruments, such as bone chisel, elevator, and bone hammer, lead to not only severe trauma but also unnecessary complications, and patients easily become nervous and apprehensive if tooth extraction is performed using these violent instruments. In recent years, with the develop- ment of minimally invasive concept and technology, various micro-power instruments have been used for tooth extraction. This innovative technology can reduce the iatrogenic trauma and complications of tooth extraction. Additionally, this technology can greatly decrease the patient's physical and mental pressure. The new equipment compensates for the deficiency of traditional tooth extraction equipment and facilitates the gradual replacement of the latter. Diverse micro-power systems have distinct strengths and weaknesses, so some auxiliary instruments are still needed during tooth extraction. This paper focuses on the various micro-power systems for tooth extraction and tries to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these systems. Selection and usage of auxiliary equipment are also introduced. Thus, this paper provides reference for the proper application of the micro-power systems in tooth extraction.

Objective To improve the quality of life in patients with early penile carcinoma (T1N0M0) after partial excision of penile. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with early penile carcinoma who were treated with partial excision of penile combined with penile lengthening surgery were retrospectively analyzed. Results The patients were followed up for 8 months to 5 years. None of patients had recurrence, and there were no external urethral stenosis and postoperative infection. The length of penile at extension state before surgery was 7.6-11.7 (8.3 ± 1.8) cm, and after surgery was 6.3-10.5 (7.4 ± 1.4) cm. All the patients were able to urinate in a standing position, 11 cases had normal sexual function, and 6 cases could complete after drug and psychological guidance. Conclusions Partial excision of penile combined with penile lengthening surgery is an effective treatment in patients with early penile carcinoma. It can significantly improve the patients' quality of life, and is an effective and feasible treatment method.

Health problems caused by age-related hearing loss can not be ignored, and elderly hearing screening that aimed to detect early and intervene early is of importance. As one of the main screening tools, elderly hearing screening scales are rarely used in China, so the paper mainly reviewed the development and application of hearing screening scales for elderly and provided a reference for future research and clinical application.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of serum brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and the severity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods We recruited 498 elderly CHD patients undergoing coronary angiography(CAG) from our hospital.Based on CAG results,patients were divided into two groups:406 patients with lesion of vessel(s)and ≥50％ vessel stenosis as the CHD group,and the other 92 patients with ＜ 50％ vessel stenosis as the negative control group.Their clinical data such as left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and serum BNP was recorded.The patients was further divided into 177 single-,129 double-,100 triple-,and 92 negative vessel disease groups according to the number of vessels with significant stenosis.The patients with CHD were divided into three different age groups:(1) A group:60-69 years old,254 patients ;(2) B group:70-79 years old,112patients;(3)C group:equal or greater than 80 years old,40 patients.Serum levels of BNP were measured before CAG.The relationship between BNP and the severity of coronary disease was analyzed.Results The level of BNP was significantly elevated in the CHD group[(387.5±132.3)ng/L]than the negative control group [(58.6±22.1) ng/L](t =23.83,P ＜ 0.01).The level of BNP was significantly enhanced(F =87.42,P ＜0.01) along with the increasing number of coronary artery Stenosis,with single vessel disease group(202.2±116.6)ng/L,double vessel disease group(487.5±152.3)ng/L and triple vessel disease group(768.7±264.3) ng/L; the level of BNP significantly increased(F =57.33,P ＜ 0.01) along with increasing age,with A group(182.6±93.1)ng/L,B group(352.2±121.2)ng/L and C group(491.2±158.7) ng/L.The level ofLVEF did not change in the procedure(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The levels of BNP were closely associated with the severity of coronary artery disease and were a strong clinical predictor for myocardial ischemia.

In order to determine whether the cAMP is a central madiator and participates in the mechanism of the ET-induced fever, in the following experiments, we have compared the cAMP levels in csf, plasma to the cAMP levels in tissues of hypothalamus, brain-stem and brain-cortex during the ET-induced fever. The results obtained demonstrate: the cAMP Ievels in tissues of hypothalamus and in csf are increased markedly during the fever Compared with the normal control. These changes of the cAMP levels are paralleled and correlated apparently with the body temperature. However, there isn't any obvious change of the cAMP levels in the tissues of brain-stem, brain-cortex and in plasma during the fever. This demonstrats that the cAMP increased in csf may indirectly reflect cAMP level in hypothalamus during the fever in rabbits and the main source of cAMP increased in csf may be synthesized and released by hypothalamus.
