Objective To summarize the analytical results of radioactivity in the food and drinking water nationwide following the Fukushima nuclear accident,and to evaluate its possible contamination to the public health in China.Methods According to the national standard methods and IAEA,FDA correlative references,the scheme was established on sampling and measurements in food and drinking water after the breakout of the accident.The quality control was requested on the sampling,analyses and data report.Results Trace artificial radioactive isotope of 131I was measured in spinach samples on 2 April 2011 in Beijing. Subsequently 131I was found in 10 kinds of growing leaves vegetables (open field)nationwide.The maximum detectable activity of 131I in vegetables was about 3.1 Bq/kg.Since 3 May 2011,the concentration of 131I has been below the detection limits.No artificial radionulide was detectable in all of milk,drinking water and marine products samples during March to December,2011.Conclusions The food and drinking water measurements in China following the Fukushima nuclear accident denoted that the minor amounts of 131I in vegetables might result in very low absorbed dose and induce no impact on human health.The maximum detectable activity of 131I in vegetables was close to that reported in European countries,and much less than that measured in China immediately after the Chernobyl accident in 1986.

Objective To explore the predictive value of brain lobe location of stroke lesion to development of long-term post-stroke depression(PSD)in the first-episode ischemic stroke patients for providing evidence for early intervention.Methods In the prospective study,158 patients aged 60 and over with first-episode ischemic stroke were continuously admitted into Department of Neurology of Shangqiu First People's Hospital from January 2013 to July 2013.The 2 to 3 years follow-up after stroke episode was performed in 126 cases for inquiring into correlation between brain lobe location of stroke lesion and development of PSD.The diagnosis of depression was in accordance with Mental Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 4(DSM-Ⅳ)standard,and divided into groups of stroke with depression(n=52)and stroke without depression(n=74).The degree of depression was evaluated by 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAMD17).The location,number and volume of stroke lesions were determined by head MRI.The relationship between PSD and pathogenetic loci was analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression analysis.A difference in hemisphere commensalism.Results The morbidity of PSD was 41.3%(52/126),with 21.4%(27/126),12.7%(16/126),7.1%(9/126)in mild,moderate and severe PSD respectively.The frontal lobe(OR=2.824,95%CI=1.189-6.706)and the temporal lobe(OR=3.579,95%CI=1.233-10.393)cerebral infarction were correlated with the occurrence of PSD.The long-term PSD severity was more in frontal lobe than in temporal lobe(χ2=6.399,P<0.05).The average volume of cerebral infarction was larger in PSD group than in non-PSD group(t=3.271,P<0.05),and the average number of cerebral infarction loci was more in PSD group than in non-PSD group(t=3.176,P<0.05).The more severe the degree of depression according to HAMD17,the larger the average volume of cerebral infarction(F=6.280,P<0.05)and the more the average number of lesions(F=6.132,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of long-term PSD in the first-episode elderly patients is affected by the invasion site.The frontal lobe and temporal lobe infarction are independent risk factors for long-term PSD in patients with ischemic stroke,and the PSD was more severe in frontal lobe infarction than in temporal lobe infarction.

Objective To investigate the roles of TrkA and TrkB in radiation-induced hippocampal neurogenesis impairment.Methods Fifty-six rats were randomized into radiation group and sham control group.Radiation group received whole brain irradiation at a single dose of 10 Gy.The hippocampus were separated from rats in day 1,day 3,day 14 and 1 month after irradiation.Western blot and RT-PCR were applied to detect the protein levels and mRNA levels.Golgi staining was used to observe the dendritic spine of hippocampus.Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neural precursor's proliferation.Results Compared with control group,the numbers of dendritic spine significantly decreased after irradiation and its shape change obviously.Immunofluorescence showed a significant decrease in neural precursor's proliferation comparing with control group (t =6.49,P < 0.05).Protein level of TrkA expression increased (t =2.64,3.06,4.80,2.64,P < 0.05),while the levels of TrkB protein expression decreased significantly (t =4.59,3.06,2.81,2.57,P < 0.05).The mRNA level of TrkA expressions increased (t =4.57,3.06,5.39,5.86,P < 0.05),while the mRNA level of TrkB decreased (t =14.87,11.69,4.98,P < 0.05).Conclusions As a signaling pathways downstream of NGF and BDNF,TrkA and TrkB may play an important role in radiation-induced neurogenesis impairment.
