ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of exploratory behaviors on depression-like rats treated with sleep deprivation,and the mechanism of the point of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).Methods30 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal group,depression group and deprivation group,and the depression model of rats were established by chronic unpredictable stress.At the day of 6th,12th,18th,24th the deprivation group was deprived sleep for 24h by the method of multi-platform water environment,and then all groups were on the open-field test.The approach of immunohistochemistry and retrovirus polymerization chain reaction measured BDNF expression level in the hippocampal neurons.ResultsThe four open-field test scores of the day of 6th,12th,18th,24th indicated that the scores of deprivation group was a low-to high trend,and at the open-field test of the 24th day was significantly different compared with depression group(P ＜0.01 ),while no significant difference was found compared with the normal group (P ＞ 0.05 ).Compared with depression group( gray level:108.53 ± 4.45,positive area rate:0.0747 ± 0.0262 ),BDNF protein expression was significantly higher in the hippocampal neurons of deprivation group( gray level:116.00 ±5.61,positive area rate:0.2034 ± 0.0352 ) (P ＜ 0.05 ),while there was no significant difference in normal group ( gray level:117.27 ±10.66,positive area rate:0.2252 ±0.1143 ) (P＞0.05 ).Results of RT-PCR were in accord with that of immunohistochemistry.ConclusionSleep deprivation can improve the exploratory behaviors of depressive rats and the mechanism may be related to the increasing concentration of BDNF in hippocampal neurons.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of cutaneous amyloidosis.Methods A total of 68 cases of primary cutaneous amyloidosis patients according to the different treatment methods was divided into two groups:the control group (n =33 cases) that was given acitretin capsules oral and topical compound flumetasone ointment packet treatment,and observation group (n =35 cases) with ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing external treatment.Two groups were observed in patients with curative effect and adverse reaction.Results Disease of integral observation group after treatment was significantly lower than the control group(t =3.12,P ＜0.05).The observation group had the efficiency of [88.6％ (31/35)] that was significantly higher than that of control group[17/33(51.5％),x2 =11.23,P ＜.0.01].The observation group had significantly shorter healing time [(5.38 ± 1.81) d] compared to the control group [(10.75 ±2.06)d,t =11.39,P ＜ 0.01].The observation group did not have recurrence,which was significantly different from the control group (x2 =4.90,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ultra pulse CO2 laser combined with collagen dressing in treatment of primary cutaneous amyloidosis is a kind of effective treatment methods with remarkable curative effect and less adverse reactions.It is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To explore the effect of the combination of video feedback and telephone intervention on postdischarge rehabilitation in patients receiving artificial total hip replacement.Methods A total of 60 patients receiving artificial total hip replacement were divided into intervention group and control group with 30 cases each by random digits table method.The combination of video feedback and telephone intervention was conducted in intervention group,and conventional discharge guidance and telephone follow-up on a regular basis in control group.In intervention group,the patients or their family member were asked to record the video of the exercises and daily living when patients were at home according instructions and researchers assessed the condition of patient's joint and muscle function and provided individual education and instructions to the patients on the basis of the feedback video through telephone.Harris hip function rating scale and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were investigated at discharge and 1,3,6 months after discharge.Results There were no significant differences in Harris hip function rating scale and FIM score at discharge between 2 groups,P＞0.05.Harris hip function rating scale score were (72.70± 11.65),(83.11±5.12),(94.83±3.08) scores at 1,3,6 months after discharge in intervention group,and (63.20±14.96),(77.00±11.62),(87.50±7.94) scores in control group,there were significant differences,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01.FIM score were (96.30±4.63),(108.76±3.28),(125.79±1.19) scores at 1,3,6 months after discharge in intervention group,and (78.23±5.09),(86.43±6.30),(96.54±5.35) scores in control group,there were significant differences,P＜0.01.Conclusion The combination of video feedback and telephone intervention could help to promote the postdischarge hip function for patients receiving artificial total hip replacement.

Objective: To determine the transdermal absorption of phloretin and ligustilide in Fufang phloretin cream.Methods: In vitro percutaneous absorption test using the Franz intelligent transdermal absorption apparatus was adopted, an HPLC method was used to determine the contents of phloretin and ligustilide in the accepting solution at different time points, and then the cumulative release amount and the total penetration amount were calculated to evaluate the percutaneous absorption behavior.Results: Phloretin and ligustilide showed a good linearity within the range of 0.044 2-4.42 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9) and 0.048 7-4.87 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9), respectively, the average recovery was 99.85% and 99.92%, and RSD was 0.67% and 0.66% (n=9), respectively.The in vitro permeation behavior of phloretin and ligustilide through the skin of rats fit Higuchi equations(r>0.9), suggesting a good linear correlation between the cumulatine penetration amount (Qn) and (time).Conclusion: Fufang phloretin cream has a good percutaneous permeation property in vitro.

Objective To investigate the influence of serum containing Qingre Chubi Decoction ( QCD) on the THP-1 cell viability and the release of interleukin 1 beta ( IL-1β) stimulated by monosodium urate crystals in vitro. Methods The cultured human monocyte THP-1 strain were divided into blank serum group, model control group, and high-, middle- and low-concentration ( volume fraction being 20%, 10%, 5%) QCD-containing serum groups. Except for the blank serum group , the other groups were all given 500 mg/L of monosodium urate crystals. On culturing hour 0, 12, 24 and 48, THP-1 cell viability was tested by methy1 thiazolyl tetrazolium celorimetry ( MTS) method. On culturing hour 48, the content of IL-1β in the supernatant of THP-1 cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results The THP-1 cell viability in various groups was increased along with the prolongation of culturing time. The THP-1 cell viability in the model control group was increased as compared with that in the blank serum group at different time points (P<0.05 or P<0.01) . And the content of IL-1β in the model control group was increased significantly as compared with that in the blank serum group on culturing hour 48 (P<0.01) . The THP-1 cell viability in various QCD-containing serum groups on culturing hour 12 and 24, and in high- and middle-concentration QCD-containing serum group on culturing hour 48 was decreased significantly as compared with that of the model control group at the same time point ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . The content of IL-1β in various serum containing QCD groups was markedly decreased as compared with that in the model control group on culturing hour 48 ( P<0.01) . Conclusion Serum containing QCD can inhibit the viability of THP-1 cells stimulated by monosodium urate crystals, and the possible mechanism is related with the inhibition of IL-1 release.

Objective To investigate the value of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PET CO2 )in fluid resuscitation in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)patients.Methods SAP patients under mechanical ventilation with the need of a fluid challenge test were included.Hemodynamic parameter cardiac index(CI)and PET CO2 were conducted before and after the fluid challenge test.The value of ΔPET CO2 was used to predict fluid responsiveness. Results Totally 43 patients with SAP were prospectively recruited.31 patients had volume responsiveness, 12 patients had no volume responsiveness.Compared with no volume responsiveness group,volume responsiveness group led to a greater increase in ΔCI[(0.9 ±0.3)vs.(0.2 ±0.3),t =3.24,P <0.05]and ΔPET CO2 [(4.1 ± 1.9)vs.(0.7 ±1.2),t =4.01,P <0.05].ΔPET CO2 and ΔCI were correlated(r =0.74,P <0.05).The area under ROC curve of ΔPET CO2 was 0.872(95% CI 0.754 ~0.923,P <0.05).An increase of 5% in ΔPET CO2 predicted fluid responsiveness with a sensitivity of 86.7%,and specificity of 89.5%.Conclusion The change of ΔPET CO2 induced by fluid challenge test is an effective way to predict fluid responsiveness in SAP patients.

Objective To explore the optimal dose and ways of anesthesia for creating a rat model of spastic paralysis with intermittent bilateral common carotid artery ligation. Methods 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into groups A, B, C, D, E and F. Group A was anaesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 5 ml/kg injected subcutaneously, while group B with 4 ml/kg subcutaneously, group C with 4 ml/kg intraperitoneally, group D with 3 ml/kg subcutaneously, group E with 3 ml/kg intraperitoneally, group F with 2 ml/kg subcutaneously. The onset and duration of anesthesia, and intraoperative and postoperative mortality were compared. Results All the rats in the group A died during anesthesia, while the group F did not achieve the depth of anesthesia, and abandoned. The onset time was (6.5±0.7) min, maintained (121.4± 3.9) min, mortality was 0 in the group B, and it was (5.5±1.1) min, (122.0±3.6) min, 30% in the group C; (9.6±0.8) min, (106.7±3.7) min, 0 in the group D, (7.4±1.2) min, (105.3±3.5) min, 20% in the group E. The overall mortality rate was 0 in the groups accepted subcutaneous injected and 25% of intraperitoneal injection. Conclusion Anesthesia with 10% chloral hydrate 4 ml/kg subcutaneous injection is optimal of lower mortality, faster onset and longer maintaining in rats for spastic paralysis model with intermittent bilateral common carotid artery ligation.

Objective: To explore the impact of body mass index (BMI) on long-term prognosis in patients of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A total of 1435 consecutive STEMI patients received PCI in our hospital from 2013-01 to 2013-12 were enrolled. Based BMI (kg/m2), the patients were divided into 3 groups: Normal weight group, the patients with 18.5≤BMI<24.0, n=365, Overweight group, 24.0≤BMI<28.0, n=718 and Obese group, BMI≥28.0, n=352. The impact of BMI on major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE) was observed; weather BMI had predictive value for all-cause mortality and cardiac death was analyzed. Results: All-cause mortality in Obese group was lower than Normal weight group (0.6% vs 3.0%), P=0.027; while the incidences of bleeding, stroke, in-stent thrombosis, blood revascularization, re-myocardial infarction and cardiac death were similar among 3 groups. Multivariate analysis revealed that obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death (HR=0.201, 95% CI 0.043-0.943, P=0.042), BMI was not the independent predictor for cardiac death. Conclusion: For STEMI patients after PCI treatment, the individuals with obesity had the better prognosis than those with normal weight and overweight. Obesity was an independent predictor for all-cause death and obesity paradox was applicable in such population.

AIM: To examine the effect of compound salvae-dropping-pill (CSDP) on intracellular free calcium in cultured rat myocardial cells subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation.METHODS: The Fluo- 3/AM was applied to probe intracellular calcium concentration and the fluorescent intensity was detected using laser confocal microscopy technique.RESULTS: Fluorescent intensity in hypoxia plus CSDP group was significantly lower (1 217 78?312 07) than that of hypoxia group (1 509?508 48), and the Fluorescent intensity of hypoxia/reoxygenation plus CSDP group was also markedly lower (1 567.91?577 61) than that of hypoxia/reoxygenation group (1 617.60?477.53).CONCLUSION: The cultured rat myocardial cells could be effectively protected by administration of CSDP in case of hypoxia and reoxygenation through decreasing the intracellular calcium concentration.
