Objective To explore the maternal toxicity and offspring's neurobehavioral effects in Wistar rats induced by exposure to methylmercury during pregnancy. Methods Methylmercury were continuously orally perfued with different doses of 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 and 2.00 mg/(kg?d) to 52 pregnant Wistar rats during the 6th～9th day after conception. The toxicity to maternal rats was observed and general teratology test were carried out. The parameters of physical and neurobehavioral develpment at early stage of 205 offspring were measured and the operant behavior test of 32 offspring was carried out at the age of 10 weeks. The brain's morphology and the levels of monamine neurotransmitter were tested in 24 maternal rats after 5 weeks of the delivery and 24 offspring in 10 weeks old. Double blind randomized design was used in whole experiment. Results No maternal toxicity and offspring teratogenicity were observed. The increase of body weight and tail development of embryos in 3 exposure groups were slower than those of control group (P

Objective To investigate the influential factors of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) activity during pregnancy and their relationship with pregnancy outcome.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical history of 66 pregnant women with SLE from 1991 to 2005 was carried out.Results(1) Those patients with unstable status progestation,patients being newly diagnosed with SLE during pregnancy or patients irregularly using prednisone became active during pregnancy.The disease was active in 32 cases(the active group)and inactive in 34 cases(the inactive group).(2)Obstetric complications in the active group included:9 cases of preeclampsia,13 cases of fetal growth restriction(FGR),7 cases of therapeutic abortion and 15 cases of premature labor;and the corresponding numbers in the inactive group were 1,5,1 and 4, respectively.All the numbers were significantly different between the two groups(P

? AIM: To observe the efficacy and safety of the phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis and the phacoemulsification combined with trabeculectomy for angle-closure glaucoma ( ACG ) with different closure conditions accompanied with cataract.?METHODS:A total of 65 patients (70 eyes) with primary ACG accompanied with cataract were selected from those admitted in our hospital and were given phacoemulsification with goniosynechialysis ( group A, 30 patients with 33 eyes ) and the phacoemulsification with trabeculectomy ( group B, 35 patients with 37 eyes ) according to the conditions of the closed anterior angle, respectively. The two groups of patients were observed for preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , vision, anterior chamber depth, and complications, and were followed up for 6. 5mo (6-8mo) on average.?RESULTS: Mean postoperative IOP in either group A or group B at 1mo after operation was of statistically significant difference, compared with mean preoperative IOP (P<0. 05). Postoperative 1-week vision in each group was of statistically significant difference, compared with preoperative vision (P<0. 05). Postoperative 1-month mean anterior chamber depth in each group was of statistically significant difference, compared with preoperative anterior chamber depth (P<0. 05). There were no significant differences between the two groups on postoperative 1-month mean anterior chamber depth ( P>0. 05) and postoperative complications (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSION: Clinical doctors can choose appropriate treatment according to different conditions of the closed anterior angle in patients with primary angle- closure glaucoma.

Objective To explore the effect of circadian rhythm disorder on cognitive decline and neurologic impairment after traumatic brain injury (TBI) in rats.Methods Rats were subjected to a weight-drop model of TBI,then the rat models were divided into 2 groups ac-cording to the environmental length of day and night ,namely,the whole day group (12 h light/12 h light) and the control group (12 h light/12 h dark).After 14 days,the Morris water maze test and step-down test were carried out to evaluate the memory of the rats in each group . HE staining and immunohistochemistry ( BrdU, Ki-67) were carried out to evaluate the degree of the neurologic impairment of the rats in each group.And the mRNA expressions of Caspase-3,Caspase-9,Bcl-2 and Bax were evaluated with realtime PCR .Results The memory function of the rats in whole day group was significant lower than control group ;the damage degree of the cells in the hippocampus and the cortical lesion volume in whole day group were significant higher than control group ;the cell proliferation rate and newborn cell survival rate in the whole day group decreased significantly compared with the control group ;the mRNA expression of Bcl-2 in whole day group was signifi-ant lower than control group ,and the mRNA expression of Caspase-3,Caspase-9 and Bax in whole day group was signifiant higher than control group.Conclusion Circadian rhythm disorder can worsen TBI-induced cognitive decline and neurologic impairment .

Objective To investigate the relationship among age,menopausal status,serum 25 (OH)VD and skeletal metabolism index as PTH (Parathyroid Hormone),CA(Calcium),P (Phosphorus) and boned mineral density (BMD) of climacteric female in Xi'an.Methods 352 cases of healthy women at the age of 40～60 were collected who did routine examination in outpatient building of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2016 to April 2016.According to the results of skeletal density test,all subjects were divided into 3 groups as the normal group (T＞-1),the reduction group (-2.5＜T＜-1),the osteoporosis group (T＜-2.5).Electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) was used to detect levels of serum 25 (OH)VD,PTH,CA and P.Kruskal-Wallis test and chi-square test were used to analyze differences of age,serum 25(OH)VD,PTH,CA and P in different levels of bone mineral density groups.Results Compared with bone density normal group 2.24(2.18～2.29)mmol/L,serum CA levels of bone mineral density reduction group 2.27 (2.20 ～ 2.32)mmol/L and osteoporosis group 2.27(2.23～2.33)mmol/L were significantly higher (Z=9.669,P＜0.01).Serum P levels of bone mineral density reduction group 1.15 (1.09～ 1.23)mmol/L and osteoporosis group 1.18 (1.09～ 1.25)mmol/L were obviously higher than bone density normal group,1.11 (0.99 ～ 1.23) mmol/L (Z =13.64,P＜ 0.01).Ages of osteoporosis group 54(50～57) years and bone mineral density reduction group 51 (47～ 54) years were significantly older than Bone density normal group 47(43～50) years (Z=73.08,P＜0.01).The rate of menopause in osteoporosis group and bone mineral density reduction group were significantly higher than in bone density normal group (x2 =13.81,P＜ 0.01).There was no statistical difference in serum 25(OH)VD and PTH between groups.Conclusion This study found boned density of climacteric women is more likely correlated with age,menopause status and levels of serum CA and P.There was not enough evidence to prove that 25 (OH)VD and PTH have effect on skeletal density.Therefore,to monitor and detect the menopause status and levels of serum CA and P of climacteric female is critical for the prevention and treatment on osteoporosis of women.
