BACKGROUND: As indicated by previous researches, aluminium (Al) could affect learning and memory of animals through many approaches in cluding affecting the stable status of intracellular calcium, decreasing protein kinase C(PKC) activity, and affecting the release of glutamic acid(Glu) . The formation of long-term potentiation(LTP) weakens in hip pocampal CA3 region of rats fed by forage containing Al. It could be found that Al would weaken evoked potential(EP) in hippocampal CA3 region and inhibit LTP formation, which might be related with the damaging effect of Al on L-Arg-NO approach through further application of acute Al administration, i.e., AlCl3 is directly injected into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the damaging effect of Al on learning and memory, and its correlation with cholinergic system and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system.DESIGN: A completelyrandomized controlled verifying study based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Department of psychology in a university and the medical college of an occupational technology college.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Neuro-Electrophysiology, the Faculty of Physiology, Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology between September 2000 and April 2001. Totally 68 SD rats of ordinary grade in either gender with a body mass between 150 g and 250 g were obtained from the Department of Experimental Animals of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and echnology.INTERVENTIONS: SD rats were randomly divided into 9 groups including normal NS ( NS ) control group ( n = 6): 1 μL of NS was injected twice ( 1 minute interval) into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection; NS + AlCl3 group( n = 6): 1 μL of NS and 0.5 mol/L of AlCl3 were injected(1 minute interval) into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection;NS + Tac group( n = 6): 1 μLof NS and 1 × 10-9 mol/L of Tacrine were injected in turn into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection; NS + Bic group(n=6): 1 μL of NS and 1 × 10-3 mol/L of Bicuculline were injected in turn into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection; Tac +AlCl3 group: 1 μL of 1 × 10-9 mol/L( n =8),1 × 10-10 mol/L ( n = 6) and 1 × 10-8 mol/L of Tacrine were firsdy injected into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection, and 1 μL of 0. 5 mol/L AlCl3was injected 1 minute later; Bic + AlCl3 group: 1 μL of 1 × 10-3 mol/L( n = 9) and 1 × 10 -4 mol/L( n = 7) of Bicuculline were firstly injected into hippocampal CA3 region by microinjection, and 1 μL of 0.5 mol/L AlCl3 was injected 1 minute later. Population spike(PS) in hippocampal CA3 region was recorded after using single pulse to stimulate perforating fiber(PF). When PS became stable, medication was injected into hippocampal CA3 region to observe the impacts of Al on EP in hippocampal CA3 region and the impacts of some central transmitters on the effect of Al in in hibiting PS.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: PS evoked in hippocampal CA3 region;the impacts of Al on EP in CA3 region and the impacts of some central transmitters on the effect of Al in inhibiting PS. RESULTS: ① After the application of 0.5 mol/L of AlCl3 in hippocampalCA3 region by microinjection, the recorded amplitude of PS reduced to peakat 1 minute, which accounted for(33.8 ± 11. 0) % of the level beforemedication( n = 6). The inhibitive effect of AlCl3 lasted for 120 minutes. ② After the pre-application of 1 × 10-9 mol/L of Tacrine(cholinesterase in hibitor) into CA3 region by microinjection and the application of AlCl3 at oneminute later, it was found that Tacrine antagonized the inhibitive effects ofAlCl3 on PS within 1 to 30 minutes( n = 8) . Its antagonism would extend to60 minutes if 1 × 10-8 mol/L of Tacrine was administrated( n = 6) . How ever, the antagonism of 1 × 10-10 mol/L of Tacrine was weaker than that of 1×10-9 mol/L group within 3-5 minutes(n=6) ③ After thepre-application of 1 × 10-3 mol/L of Bicuculline into CA3 region by mi croinjection and the application of AlCl3 at one minute later, Bicucullinecould partially weaken the effects of AlCl3 within 1 to 20 minutes( n = 9). CONCLUSION: Al of certain concentration can inhibit the evoked PS am plitude in hippocampal CA3 region; Tacrine can antagonize Al' s effects andits antagonism might be related with dose. Hence, the inhibitive effects of Almight be related with the damage in Ach transmitter system. The applicationof Bicuculline, a GABAA inhibitor, also can weaken the PS inhibitive effectsof Al, which indicates that the inhibitive effect of Al also might be effective through GABA approach.

Objective: To conifrm the omentopexy decreasing the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia in experimental rats with chronic myocardial infarction (MI) by nerve remodeling.
Methods: The MI model of SD rats was established by left coronary artery ligation. 3 weeks later, the qualiifed animals were randomized into 3 groups for the 2nd operation. ① Sham operation group, the rats received the 2nd operation without ligation, ② Isolated MI group, the rats received the 2nd operation without omentopexy, ③ Omentopexy group, the rats received the 2nd operation with omentopexy. n=20 in each group. 4 weeks after the 2nd operation, the electrophysiological characteristics were assessed by relevant techniques, the new and sympathetic nerves in MI border zone were examined by immunohistochemistry, the protein expressions of connexin43 and nerve growth factor (NGF) were measured by western blot analysis and the cardiac endothelin-1 (ET-1) level was evaluated by ELISA.
Results: Compared with Isolated MI group, Omentopexy group showed decreased susceptibility of arrhythmia (3.5 ± 1.2) vs (0.9 ± 0.2), improved electrical transduction (1.5 ± 0.2) mV vs (3.4 ± 0.3) mV and decreased capture threshold (5.5 ± 0.3) mV vs (2.2 ± 0.2) mV, all P<0.05. Compared with Isolated MI group, immunihistochemisty indicated that Omentopexy group had decreased new and sympathetic nerves in MI border zone, as for GAP43:(1388.4 ± 244.9)μm2/mm2 vs (768.6 ± 144.1)μm2/mm2, for TH:(1552.4 ± 270.3)μm2/mm2 vs (1018.5 ± 124.7)μm2/mm2, all P<0.05. Western blot analysis showed that Omentopexy group had the lower NGF expression and higher connexin43 expression;ELISA demonstrated that Omentopexy group had the lower ET-1 expression, P<0.05.
Conclusion: Omentopexy may decrease the susceptibility of ventricular arrhythmia after MI in experimental rats, which might be related to the cardiac nerve remodeling.

Objective To investigate the effect of flow management of cerebral perfusion during aortic arch surgery on the neurological complication.Methods From March 2007 to November 2011,189 patients underwent aortic arch surgery with hypothermic circulatory arrest plus antegrade cerebral perfusion in our department.The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.According to the different methods of cerebral perfusion flow nanagement,patients were divided into two groups.Single pump with double limb (to the lower body and brain) perfusion was used in group A (96 patients),based on natural distribution of petfusion flow without control.Modified flow management was used in group B (93 patients).A magnetic flow sensor probes was installed on the brain perfusion limb to monitor and control the cerebral perfusion flow precisely (10 ml · kg-1 · min-1).Postoperative neurological complications were compared between two groups.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in CPB time,aortic clamping time and circulatory arreating time.However,the morbidity of postoperative neurological complications in group B was much lower than that in group A (1.1% vs 5.2%,P <0.05).Conclusion When performing antegrade cerebral perfusion during aortic arch surgery,precisely control of cerebral perfusion flow can reduce the morbidity of postoperative neurological complications effectively.

Objective To detect the change of discharge phase of guinea pig hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells during visual discriminative task with an effective and convenient program we designed. Methods Five guinea pigs were performed by extracellular single unit recording in vivo when they were performing visual discriminative task. Discharge signals of individual pyramidal cells were extracted from different frequency signals by wavelet transform (WT), which made it feasible to calculate discharge phase of pyramidal cells in terms of time correlation between discharge and ? rhythm. Results The discharge phase of CA1 pyramidal cells in the 1 to 5s interval before visual discriminative task (172??1.8?) was obviously earlier than that in the 6 to 10s interval after visual discriminative task (189??3.7?) ( P0.01). Conclusion The program we designed is capable of detecting discharge phase of pyramidal cells. Regular shift of discharge phase of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal cells emerges before and after performing visual discriminative task.
