Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease. Repeated drug exposure can cause neuroadaptations in major brain circuitries,leading to compulsive drug consumption behav-ior and relapse after abstinence.Many studies have found that intercellular signaling cascades mediated central nervous system remodeling in the rewarding circuitry and addiction associated neuroplasticity of learning and memory are important molecular mechanism of drug addiction.Studies show that extracellular sig-nal-regulated kinase (ERK)is associated with drug-mediated psychomotor activity,rewarding properties and relapse of drug seeking behaviors.Therefore,this article has reviewed the role of ERK signaling pathway in drug addiction.Research on the role of ERK signaling pathway in drug addiction will provide im-portant theoretical foundation for in-depth understanding of the molecular mechanism of drug addiction and shine a light on new molecular targets and treatment strategies for drug addiction.

OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between multidrug resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii(ABA) and its class Ⅰ integron.METHODS In this study,39 multidrug resistant strains and 41 non-multidrug resistant strains of ABA were collected.The improved Kirby-Bauer was employed to check the collected strains′ drug-resistant phenotype;PCR was administrated to detect the distribution of class Ⅰ integron.and their relationship was also analyzed.RESULTS Results showed that ABA′s drug-resistance rate to the most antibiotics was high.imipenem,cefoperazone-sulbactam,ABA was sensitive to ciprofloxacin,amikacin and Piperacillin-tazobactam,however,ABA′s drug resistance rates to other antibiotics were all over 40%.It revealed that ABA′s drug-resistance rate was high.The study indicated that the positive rate of Class Ⅰ integron in multidrug resistant ABA was as hight as 82.1%(32/39).The positive rate of non-multidrug resistant strains was 26.8%(11/41),and the differences were statistically significant(?2=24.6,P

Objective Retrospective observating the diminishing inflammation and lowering enzymatic effect with diammonium glycyrrhizinate (ganlixin injectionfluid) on hepatitis, such as chronic hepatitis, hepatocirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis. Methods The 629 case hepatitis sufferers, including chronic hepatitis with light to middle degree, hepatocirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis, were treated with 150 mg diammonium glycyrrhizinate added into 250 ml 5 % to 10 % glucose injection liquid. Another 127 chronic hepatitis sufferers treated with injecho potenl ini were seen as contrast. When the treatment was over, the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum bilirubin (SB) and symptom of patients in two groups were analysed. Results The level of ALT and SB dropped more rapidly than that in contrast group, but there were no marked difference in symptoms recover. After 17 days therapy, there are 93.3 % patients with ALT normal level in treating group, but 73.3% in contrast group (P

Objective To study the method of cryopreservation, and method of cultivation of hepatocytes of sucking pig. Methods Hepatocytes were isolated from sucking pig by two-step perfusion with collagenase using an extracorporeal perfusion apparatus. They were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 4 months. They were thawed and seeded on gelatin coated bottom of a flask. The cells were covered with another layer of collagen. The exprssion of albumin mRNA, cellular morphology synthesis of urea, and content of oxalylacetylaminotransferase were determined in the collagen cultures. Results Thawed hepatocytes maintained their biological characters well after cryopreservation. The thawed hepatocytes could grow well in collagen gel, sandwich culture. In the 10-day cultures, typical cellular morphological and biological characteristics of cultured hepatocytes could be observed. Conclusion Hepatocytes stored in liquid nitrogen could maintain their activities for a long time. The hepatocytes could be cultivated in collagenous matrix, which provided an environment closely resembling that in nature, and their morphology and functions could be maintained.

Drug addiction is a chronic relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug use and persistence of drug craving. Drug abuse can lead to changes in the neuron structure and function of plasticity,alterations in molecules and cells,and ultimately to individual abnormal behavior. Current studies have found that epigenetic changes leading to the sustainability of gene expression is an important mechanism of drug addiction. In this review,we will systematically summarize the latest advances in epigenetic mechanisms of drug addiction. This review is expected to provide robust evidence that repeated exposure to drugs of abuse induces changes within the brain′s reward regions in three major modes of epigenetic regulation-histone modifications such as acetylation and methylation , DNA methylation,and non-coding RNAs. It promises a new perspective from which to gain insights into the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of drug addiction and a new area for epigenetic research on clinical drug addiction treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the genotypes of aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes(AMEs)genes of Acinetobacter baumannii.METHODS Clinical isolates of A.baumannii were collected from 2003 to 2006,and their resistance to gentamicin,amikacin and tobramycin were tested by K-B method.Twenty-three isolates were chosen because of their resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics(at least resistant to one kind of the drugs).Nine types of the AMEs were detected by PCR.RESULTS Drug resistant rates of 23 isolates of A.baumannii to gentamicin,amikacin and tobramycin,were 86.96%,56.5% and 69.56%,respectively.The detection rates of the 9 AMEs,including ant(3')-Ⅰ,aac(3)-Ⅰ、aac(6')-Ⅰ,aph(3')-Ⅵ,aac(3)-Ⅱ,aac(6')-Ⅱ and ant(2″)-Ⅰ were 69.56%,60.87%,56.52%,47.82%,30.4%,26.09% and 21.73%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The resistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics of A.baumannii is mainly caused by AMEs.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in the patients with adenomysis.Methods The immunohistochemistry staining was used to detect the expression of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in ectopic endometrium and eutopic endometrium of 30 patients with adenomyosis and 30 cases in control group.Results The expression of aromatase P450,COX-2 in ectopic endometrium were significantly higher than those in eutopic endometrium (all P ＜ 0.05) ; The expression of ER,PR in ectopic endometrium were significantly lower than those in eutopic endometrium (all P ＜ 0.05),excepted the expression of PR in eutopic endometrium,the expressions of both ER and PR lose their periodical cycle.There was positive correlation between the expression of aromatase P450 and COX-2 in adenomysis group(P ＜ 0.05).In adenomyosis,the expression of aromatase P450,COX-2,ER and PR in dysmenorrhea subgroup were significantly higher than those in non-dys menorrhea subgroup(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Aromatase P450,COX-2 and ER play important roles in the genesis and development of adenomyosis and dysmenorrheal,PR is not the main pathogenic factors of adenomyosis.The expressions of aromatase P450,COX-2 and ER in adenomyosis have nothing to do with endometrial cyclical change and are not subject to the regulation of ovarian hormones.

Objective To evaluate nasal carriage and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria in health care workers (HCWs)in an intensive care unit (ICU),and provide basis for making prevention and control measures of health-care-associated infection(HAI).Methods From April 2014 to March 2015,nasal swabs from HCWs in ICU were collected,carriage and antimicrobial resistance of bacteria were detected.Results A total of 450 nasal swab speci-mens were taken,137 strains were isolated,isolation rate was 30.44%.There were no significant difference in na-sal carriage rates of bacteria in HCWs with different genders,ages,types of work,length of service,and education-al level (P >0.05);nasal carriage rates in HCWs at different seasons were significantly different (P <0.05 ).82 strains (59.85%)were gram-negative bacteria,the major were Klebsiella pneumoniae (21 .16%)and Enterobacter aerogenes (18.98%);55 strains (40.15% )were gram-positive bacteria,the major were Staphylococcus aureus (18.98%)and Staphylococcus epidermidis (15.33%).38 (27.74% )strains were multidrug-resistant strains. 7.69% (2/26)of Staphylococcus aureus were methicillin-resistant strains,3.45%(1/29)of Klebsiella pneumoniae and 3.85%(1/26)of Enterobacter aerogenes were imipenem-resistant strains.Conclusion Nasal carriage rate of bac-teria and detection rate of multidrug-resistant organisms in HCWs in ICU is high.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine on the basis of a rat model of heroin discrimination.MethodsMale Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to discriminate 0.3 mg/kg heroin from saline under a fixed-ratio (FR10) schedule of food reinforcement.After training,different doses of heroin and nicotine were used to substitute for training dose of heroin,the dose-response curve for heroin and the discriminative stimulus effects of nicotine were identified in rats.ResultsAll rats reliably discriminated 0.3 mg/kg heroin from saline.Different doses of heroin ( 0.03,0.1,0.3,0.56 mg/kg ) produced ( 33.9 ± 15.0 ) ％,( 43.3 ± 13.3 ) ％,(98.7 ± 0.5 ) ％,(99.4 ± 0.2 ) ％ total responding on heroin associated lever,heroin at the doses of lower than 0.3 mg/kg produced the dose-dependent relationship in heroin-appropriate responding.In heroin-trained rats,nicotine at the dose of 0.03,0.1 mg/kg produced(1.9 ±1.1)％,(13.7 ±5.6)％ total responding on heroin associated lever,there were extremely significant differences with 0.3 mg/kg heroin control (P＜0.01).However,nicotine at the dose of 0.3,0.5 mg/kg produced ( 60.4 ± 16.1 ) ％,(65.9 ± 16.4) ％ total responding on heroin associated lever,there were no significant differences with 0.3 mg/kg heroin control (P＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionNicotine at the dose of 0.3,0.5 mg/kg can partially produce heroin-like discriminative stimulus effects.

Objective To investigate the influence of enteral nutrition (EN) emulsion containing slowrelease starch on blood sugar level in patients with craniocerebral injury. Methods Totally 120 patients with severe craniocerebral injury complicated with hyperglycemia joined this open study and were randomized into control group and study group. Study group was given EN emulsion containing slow-release starch ( Fresubin Diabetes)and control group was given routine EN emulsion ( Fresubin), both for 15 days. Fasting blood glucose (FBG),2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were examined before EN support and 7 days and 15 days after EN support. Results In the study group, the levels of 2hPG before EN support and on the seventh and fifteenth day after EN support were ( 12.26 ± 2. 36 )mmol/L, (9.76 ± 2.90 ) mmol/L, and (9.78 ± 1.86) mmol/L, respectively. The levels of 2hPG after EN support were both significantly lower than that before EN support (P ＜ 0. 05). However, the levels of FBG and HbA1c in the study group were not significantly different before and after EN support ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). In the control group, the levels of 2hPG on the seventh and fifteenth day after EN support were ( 11.70 ± 2. 80) mmol/L and ( 11.39 ± 2. 44 ) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in study group ( P = 0. 033, P = 0. 020). The levels of FBG and HbA1c werenot significantly different between the study group and the control group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion EN emulsion containing slow-release starch may promote the control of blood sugar in patients with craniocerebral injury complicated with hyperglycemia and improve the level of postprandial blood sugar in those patients.
