Evolutionary psychology holds such an opinion that negative situation may threaten survival, trigger avoidance motive and have poor effects on the human-body function and the psychological quality. Both disgusted and sad situations can induce negative emotions. However, differences between the two situations on attention capture and emotion cognition during the emotion induction are still not well known. Typical disgusted and sad situation images were used in the present study to induce two negative emotions, and 15 young students (7 males and 8 females, aged 27 ± 3) were recruited in the experiments. Electroencephalogram of 32 leads was recorded when the subjects were viewing situation images, and event-related potentials (ERP) of all leads were obtained for future analysis. Paired sample t tests were carried out on two ERP signals separately induced by disgusted and sad situation images to get time quantum with significant statistical differences between the two ERP signals. Root-mean-square deviations of two ERP signals during each time quantum were calculated and the brain topographic map based on root-mean-square deviations was drawn to display differences of two ERP signals in spatial. Results showed that differences of ERP signals induced by disgusted and sad situation images were mainly manifested in T1 (120-450 ms) early and T2 (800-1,000 ms) later. During the period of T1, the occipital lobe reflecting attention capture was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images, but the prefrontal cortex reflecting emotion sense was activated only by disgusted situation images. During the period of T2, the prefrontal cortex was activated by both disgusted and sad situation images. However, the parietal lobe was activated only by disgusted situation images, which showed stronger emotional perception. The research results would have enlightenment to deepen understanding of negative emotion and to exploredeep cognitive neuroscience mechanisms of negative emotion induction.

Objective To investigate the genetic variants in the protein C (PC) and endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) genes associated with the risk and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients in Chinese Han race.Methods Five tagSNPs (single nucleotide polymorphism,SNP) in the PC and EPCR genes were genotyped in patients with ARDS (n =275) and non-ARDS (n =337) in order to find the association between them in this case-control study.The SNPs were genotyped by SNPstream Beckman platform.Then,the correlation between the associated SNPs and plasma levels of activated protein C (APC) in patients with ARDS was investigated.The APC levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.Results Association analysis rcvealed that two PC SNPs in perfect linkage disequilibrium,rs1799809 and rs1158867,were significantly associated with susceptibility to ARDS.T allele frequency of rs1799809 in ARDS patients was significantly higher than that in non-ARDS patients (OR =1.569,95% CI:1.192-2.066).And the genotype frequencies of rs1799809 were also significantly different between these two groups (P =0.007).The association remained significant after adjustment for multiple comparisons.Haplotype consisting of three SNPs in the PC gene was also associated with susceptibility to ARDS.The frequency of haplotype CCC in the ARDS samples was significantly lower than that in the non-ARDS group (P < 0.01).Moreover,ARDS patients canrying rs1799809 TT genotype showed lower serum levels of APC than patients with TC and CC genotypes (Padj =0.02).However,genotype and allele analyses of EPCR did not show any significant difference between ARDS and non-ARDS patients.Conclusions These findings indicated that common genetic variation in the PC gene was significantly associated with susceptibility to ARDS in Chinese Han race.The PC genetic variation influenced plasma concentration of APC in patients with ARDS.

Normal function of growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor Ⅰaxis is essential for linear growth after birth. A case of continuous growth with undetectable growth hormone level even under insulinhypoglycemia stimulation was reported. The growth hormone deficiency was due to pituitary stalk interruption combined with deficiency of multiple pituitary hormones. Taken together with reviewed literature, this so-called nongrowth hormone-dependent linear growth was preconditioned by other hormones, especially gonadotropin deficiency,and the unclosed epiphysis.

BACKGROUND: Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis has become the most classical animal model for multiple sclerosis. However, the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model of China presented one-way course of disease. By using proteolipid protein 139-151 and proteolipid protein 178-191, relapse remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis models may be induced in SJL/J mice which were susceptible to immune, which have similar clinical situation, course and histologicallterations to multiple sclerosis.OBJECTIVE: To establish the relapse remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse model induced by proteolipid protein, which has similar clinical situation, course and histological alterations to multiple sclerosis.DESIGN: Completely randomized controlled study.SETTING: The centre of Neuro-information, and Neurological Institute,General Hospital of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The study was carried out at the Laboratory of Neuro-pathology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA, from February to June 2004.Sixty female SJL/J mice with 8-12 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into proteolipid protein 139-151 group and proteolipid protein-178-191 group with 30 in each.INTERVENTIONS: After injected with proteolipid protein-139-151 or proteolipid protein-178-191, the models of relapse remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis were induced, and the body weight and neurological signs of each female SJL/J mouse were viewed. The tissue morphological changes of models were observed with hematoxylin and eosin and uxol fast blue stain.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The neurological symptoms and signs,features of relapse and remitting and the perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration, demyelinated lesion of the model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse induced by two proteolipid protein peptides.RESULTS: All 60 mice entered the final analysis. ① Significant neurological symptoms, signs and features of relapse and remitting was manifested in the model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mouse induced by two proteolipid protein peptides. Obvious phenomena of perivascular inflammatory cuffing, satellitism, predominant perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelinated lesion were found in spinal and cerebral tissue. ②Changes of body mass: Before immunity, the body mass of mice in two groups was( 17. 84 ± 2.59) g and (17. 88 ± 0.52) g respectively. Onset of relapse of the mice in proteolipid protein-178-191 group was earlier and faster, their body mass had no distinctive change after immunization and the mean body mass was(23.52 ± 2.37) g till the 60th day. Meanwhile, Onset of relapse of the mice in proteolipid protein-139-151 group was later and slower. After the immunity, the body mass of mice was little decrease, and the body mass was (16. 70 ±0.46) g on the 60th day. ③ Neural functional scores: The highest functional scores in the two groups were not different(3.86 ± 1.10vs 3.71 ±1.05, t=0.49, P=0.628).CONCLUSION: The two different antigenic peptides of proteolipid protein can all cause the autoimmune response of central nervous system. Both models have the same characters of relapse and remitting and the severity has no significant difference. But compared with proteolipid protein 139- 151 group,onset and recover of the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis of the mice in proteolipid protein 178-191 group were earlier, as well as weight variance was larger, which maybe due to the different structure of two peptides.

BACKGROUND:It is so difficult to have aortic valve replacement with smal aortic annulus. Improper treatment may lead to patients with valvular mismatch phenomenon, and thus make left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, increase transvalvular pressures, cause cardiac hypertrophy secondary to increased left ventricular afterload and even congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the treatment strategy for preventing valvular mismatch phenomenon caused by smal aortic annulus after aortic valve replacement.
METHODS:Eighty-five patients with smal aortic annulus underwent aortic valve replacement surgery. 19 mm SJM Regent valve was applied to the patients with orifice diameter>17 ≤ 19 mm;to the adult patients with orifice diameter ≤ 17 mm, we performed bovine pericardial patch enlargement of the smal aortic annulus and valve replacement using 19 mm SJM Regent valve. For those with orifice diameter>19 ≤ 21 mm, we selected 21 mm Hancock II ultra biological valve for valve replacement. Effective orifice area index, left ventricular mass index, inter-ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular wal thickness, trans-valvular peak velocity, the pressure difference across the valve and trans-valvular mean pressure were measured through echocardiography. After discharge, patients were fol owed up in out-patient clinic and evaluated regularly by echocardiography.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no early deaths after operation and al cases were cured and discharged. Fol ow-up time was between 6 months and 3 years. The main complications included low cardiac output syndrome in two cases, reoperation due to bleeding in one case, and ventilator dependence in two cases. No cases occurred in cerebral complications such as cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral thrombosis, and no valvular dysfunction or card flap appeared. There was no bovine pericardium tearing, thrombosis, calcification, tumor-like bulge, infection or immune reactions. A total of 81 cases were fol owed up and the fol ow-up rate was 95%(81/85). There were NYHA class grade I in 65 cases, and grade II in 16 cases. Peak velocity across the aortic valve and the mean pressure were significantly decreased, effective orifice area index increased significantly, left ventricular mass index, left ventricular wal thickness and the thickness of the inter-ventricular septum were significantly reduced compared with pre-operation, and no valvular mismatch phenomenon occurred. Compared 21 mm Hancock II ultra biological valve with 21 mm SJM Regent group, the former got a better peak velocity and mean trans-valvular pressure, and better left ventricular remodeling index. Body weight and body surface area were significantly increased in 19 mm Regent valve group after operation. The results suggest that individualized treatment strategies should be taken to prevent the occurrence of postoperative valvular mismatch phenomenon for patients with smal aortic annulus.
