BACKGROUND: BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice are two inbred strains, but after voluntary movement, there is no report on how to scientifical y reasonably select behavioral experiment methods and indicators and to evaluate the learning and memory abilities of mice.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the behavioral indicators between BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice fol owing voluntary wheel running, to explore the effect of exercise on learning and memory, and to provide a reference for selecting reasonable behavioral indicators.
METHODS: 2.5-month-old BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control and voluntary wheel running groups. Independent running wheel movement of mice was recorded with VitalView system. 4 weeks later, newborn neurons were labeled via DCX immunofluorescence. Spatial learning, memory and exploration abilities were compared through new arm test, new object recognition test and Morris water maze test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The mean spontaneous activity of BALB/c mice daily was 2.56 fold of that of C57BL/6 mice during wheel running (P < 0.001). (2) Hippocampal DCX-positive cel s in exercised BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice were more than those in control group. (3) Meantime, exhibited by higher frequencies to explore new arm or object, and longer time and distance of moving around them, the learning and exploring capability was improved after exercising (P < 0.001), especial y in BALB/c mice. (4) Wheel running C57BL/6 mice exhibited progressed spatial learning and memory abilities compared with control mice in Morris water maze test, characterized by decreased latency to target, elevated target crossings and longer time or distance in quadrant zone (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between wheel running and control BALB/c mice. Taken these data together, voluntary wheel running contributed to hippocampal neurogenesis of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice, accompanied by the change of learning and memory capability, which could be detected properly via both new arm test and new object recognition test, but for Morris water maze test, C57BL/6 mice might be superior to BALB/c mice.

A method of metal organic nanotubes-based dispersive solid phase extraction-gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed for sensitive analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls in environmental water samples.Related important factors influencing enrichment efficiency, such as ionic strength, extraction time and amount of adsorbent, were investigated.Response surface methodology was used to optimize these factors in detail.Under the optimal conditions such as 4.92% (w/V) NaCl, 4.5 min of extraction time, 62.5 mg of adsorbent, and n-hexane as desorption solvent, wide linearity (2-1000 ng/L or 5-1000 ng/L), and low limits of detection (0.26-0.82 ng/L) were achieved.The intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations were 0.8%-5.5% (200 ng/L, n=6)and 2.7%-7.4% (200 ng/L, n=6), respectively.Finally, this method was successfully applied to the sensitive analysis of 6 kinds of PCBs in environmental water samples, with satisfactory recoveries of 78.9%-113.3%.

Objective To compare the extracellular space diffusion at different stages of rat C6-gliomas determined by MRI tracer method and analyze the influencing effect of extracellular matrix ( ECM) on the diffusion process.Methods Introducing adolinium-diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid ( Gd-DTPA) into extracellular space ( ECS) as a tracer.The diffusion parameters and half-life time were quantified according to mathematical model of diffusion.The main ECM components ( e.g. chordroitin sulfate proteoglycans ( CSPGs ) , collagen IV tenascin C ) were detected by immunohistochemical and immunoblot analysis.Results Gd-DTPA introduced into 20-day glioma in the rats diffused more slowly [(6.67 ±1.78) ×10 -5 mm2/s vs.(1.26 ±0.27) ×10-4 mm2/s; t =4.265; P<0.01)], deriving a larger tortuosity [(3.99 ±0.57) vs.(2.83 ±0.29);t=4.11;P<0.01)], localized within the tumor with a smaller clearance rate [(7.67 ±2.29) ×10 -5mm2/s)vs.(1.46 ±0.36) ×10 -4mm2/s);t=3.87;P<0.05), and a longer half-life time ((0.86 ±0.23 h)vs.(1.64 ±0.12 h);(t=5.91;p<0.01)] compared with 10-day gliomas in the rats.The increased levels of extracellular matrix of glioma were associated with different diffusion and clearance parameters of 20-day gliomas in the rats in comparision with those in the 10-day rat gliomas, in which the chordroitin sulfate proteoglycans[(0.48 ±0.07) vs.(0.32 ±0.09);t=4.663;P<0.01)], tenascin C [(0.29 ±0.04) vs.(0.58 ±0.11);t =6.50;P<0.01] and collagen IV [(0.24 ±0.07)vs.(0.33 ±0.06);t=3.81;P<0.05] were tested.Conclusions The ECS parameters are changed with the C6 glioma progression due to the increased ECM content.The results of our study may help us to better understanding the glioma micro-environment and provide beneficial references for the brain interstitial drug delivery to treat gliomas.

BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasy is an effective method to treat hip disease caused by ankylosing spondylitis. Long-term fol ow-up studies have shown that there have been hip function problems after total hip arthroplasy, and it stil lacks of perfect rehabilitation programs. OBJECTIVE: To systematical y review the influential factors for dysfunction after total hip arthroplasy in ankylosing spondylitis patients. METHODS: The first and second authors retrieved PubMed and Sciencedirect Databases, CNKI, and Wanfang digital database for relevant articles published from January 1970 to July 2015. The key words were “arthroplasty, replacement, hip, spondylitis, ankylosing, function”. Final y, relevant articles were included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 40 articles were summarized, including 8 Chinese articles and 32 English articles. After total hip arthroplasy, hip function problems were mainly associated with patient’s factors, disease, surgery, prosthesis, postoperative recovery and postoperative complications. Avoiding above relevant factors can improve joint function after total hip arthroplasy for ankylosing spondylitis patients, and improve patient’s quality of life.

Objective: To investigate the epidemiologic features of interhospital, intrahospital, interdepartmental and intradepartmental infections of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolated from clinical specimens. Methods: From September 2015 to September 2016, 540 non-repetitive strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were clinically isolated from 38 tertiary hospitals in Anhui Province, of which 460 strains were confirmed by antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Anhui Province. Agar plate dilution method was used to determine the MIC of 16 antibiotics and to select 312 CRAB isolates for drug sensitivity test. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was used to analyze homology of 145 strains. PCR and clonal sequencing were used to determine the corresponding genotypes. Results: All the 312 CRAB strains were multiple antibiotic resistant strains. The drug resistance rates to imipenem and meropenem were 67.9% and 70.6%, respectively. All the 145 strains were divided into 80 different types (PT1-PT80) by PFGE. Only one strain was found in the 60 types and two or more strains were found in the other 20 types. Genotype bla_OXA-51 was detected in 145 strains (100%), genotype bla_OXA-23 was detected in 134 of strains (92.41%), genotype bla_OXA-24 was detected in 1 strain (0.69%), and subtype of bla_IMP-4 was detected in 4 strains (2.76%). Genotype bla_OXA-58, bla_VIM, bla_SIM, bla_NDM and bla_KPC were undetectable. Conclusions Homologous analysis indicates that all 145 strains of CRAB exhibit the interhospital, intrahospital, interdepartmental and intradepartmental transmission. Genotype bla_OXA-51 is the inherent drug resistant associated gene in the chromosome of AB and genotype bla_OXA-23 is the most common carbapenemase gene in Anhui Province and the main genotypes of resistance transmission.

OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the risk rating for chemical hazards of aromatics complex in a petrochemical enterprise using two risk assessment methods. METHODS: Occupational hygiene investigation and chemical detection for workplaces of the construction project were made. The risk ratings were made in five workplaces including that of the aromatics extraction,disproportionation,isomerization,xylene fractionation and adsorptive fractionation. Two risk assessment methods were employed. They were the optimal indicator system of risk assessment on occupational chemical hazards( optimal indicator system) and the semi quantitative risk assessment model of Singapore. The results of risk rating generated by the two risk assessment methods were then compared and analyzed. RESULTS: Using the optimal indicator system,the risk rating of benzene was mild in the five workplaces; and the risk rating of methylbenzene and xylene was slight. However,using the semi quantitative risk assessment model of Singapore,the risk rating of benzene was extremely high in both the aromatics extraction and disproportionation workplaces; the risk rating was high in xylene fractionation,and was medium in the isomerization and adsorptive fractionation workplaces. The risk rating of methylbenzene was high in the aromatics extraction and disproportionation workplaces,and was low in the other three workplaces. The risk rating of xylene was low in the five workplaces. CONCLUSION: The optimal indicator system is more feasible,practical and objective for the assessment of chemical hazards. It is more suitable for risk assessment of occupational chemical hazards in our country.
