Objective To investigate the effect of glutamic acid (monosodium glutamate,MSG) on Tourette's syndrome (TS). Methods These rats were divided into 2 groups: one group with acute intracerebroventricularly injection (ICV) of MSG or artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and another group with chronic administration of MSG in a dose of 40 mg/kg in drinking water everyday. Observers who were blind to the two- part subjects assessed the scores of TS- like stereotyped locomotion. Results 1. These groups of 100 ?g or 200 ?g glutamic acid may induce significant TS - like stereotyped locomotion ( P

Objective To explore the applicability of the Perceived Stress Scale(PSS) in Chinese medical students.Methods 773 medical students completed the PSS and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS).The reliability and validity of the PSS were analyzed.Results The exploratory factor analysis showed that two factors were extracted from the scale,which could explain 53.74％ of the total variance.The confirmatory factor analysis verified that the structure of the PSS was two-dimensional (x2/df =2.863,CFI =0.943,TLI =0.924,GFI =0.951,AGFI =0.921,RMSEA =0.07).The internal consistency coefficient of the PSS,the perceived stress subscale and the perceived coping ability subscale were 0.858,0.852 and 0.750.The relationship between the PSS and the DASS was significant,which demonstrated that the PSS had a good criterion-related validity.In addition,t-test showed that girls had a higher level of the perceived stress than boys (t =-2.574,P =0.01),and students who lived in rural had a higher level of the perceived stress than students who lived in urban (t =2.788,P =0.005).Conclusion The study indicates that the PSS has a high level of the reliability and validity,and it is worthy of exploring the perceived stress in medical students.

Follicular dendritic sarcoma is a rare and low-grade malignant soft tissue tumors , often occurs in the lymph nodes, we report a case of tonsil follicular dendritic sarcoma which occured after Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma had be cured. The chief complaint was oropharyngeal foreign body sensation with hemoptysis three years, found in the left neck mass increased with more than 4 months. The left side of the pharyngeal wall thickening and disappearance of parapharyngeal space with the surrounding lymph nodes extremely enlarged and integrated was demonstrated by the contrast-enhanced CT of neck. Finally,the pathological diagnosis was tonsil follicular dendritic sarcoma.

Objective To explore prognostic relative factors of different therapy for patients with intracrani-al aneurysm. Methods In 93 intracranial aneurysm patients, 38 cases were managed through craniotomy, in whom the effects of operation time, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture(IAB), temporary arterial occlusion (TAO)on 30-day and 6-month prognosis were investigated; while other 67 cases experienced endovascular treatment,in whom the simi-lar parameters of the different therapy, types of endovascular treatment, and intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated. 30 days and 6 months prognosis were regarded as the dependent variable, and SPSS for Windows 11.5 was adopted for data processing. Chi-Square test was performed. Results IAR exerted significant difference to 30 days and 6 months prognosis in patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping, there were 42 intracranial aneurysm, of which 16 aneurysm ruptured (χ2 = 5. 203,10. 886, P < 0.05 ). For patients undergoing endovascular treatment, the new ma-terial application could improve 6 months prognosis, in whom there were totaly 74 intracranial aneurysm, of which 23 aneurysm were managed by the use of old material for endovascular treatment and 51 aneurysm were managed by the use of new material for endovascular treatment(χ2 = 5. 544 and RR = 2. 364,95% CI 1. 197～4.669 ,P < 0.05 ). Un-successful ratio in the endovascular treatment was reduced simultaneously,from 43.5% (old material group) to 18.0% ( now material group) (χ2 = 5. 542,P < 0.05). Conclusions IAR is the important risk factor, which effects 30 days or 6 months prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms managed through craniotomy and clipping. The new material application in the endovascular treatment improves 6 months prognosis, meanwhile unsuccessful ratio in the endovascular treatment is reduced simultaneously.
