1.Specific Deficit Regarding the Precessing of Noun and Verb in Stroke Aphasia: One Case Analysis
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(8):727-728
Noun and verb are always two primary lexical knowledge information in all kinds of languages. It plays an important role in the structure and function of the language. Cognitive activation and differential neural basis when aphasiacs distinguish from these two kinds of lexical knowledge information is the focus of subjects, such as neuropsychology, neurolinguistics and neuroimage. The specific deficit regarding the precessing of noun and verb was analyzed in the article with the data of this aphasiac.

3.Treatment of Poststroke Aphasia with Chinese and Western Medicine (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(12):1070-1072
Since the symptoms and mechanism of poststroke aphasia are various and complicated, there are a great deal of problems which are difficult to resolve yet. At the aspect of aphasia research, Chinese and Western medicine have different emphases, Chinese medicine emphasizes particularly on therapy, Western medicine emphasizes on discussing mechanism of aphasia, all kinds of sorts and evaluation of aphasia and pertinence rehabilitation, and so on; modern research methods include neurolinguistics, neuropsychology, cognitive science, neurorehabilitation, neuroelectrophysiology, neuroimage and so on, all these means of aphasia research often involve in cross multi-subject, furthermore becoming powerful implement of recognizing brain mechanism.

Objective To explore the quantity and ultrastructure of dopaminum (DA) neuron in nigra-striatum, pathological basis of the successful animal model of cerebral palsy (CP) by hyperbilirubinemia, to provide the evidence for clinical therapy and rehabilitation. Methods Thirty homozygous newborn rabbits (2~5 d) were randomly divided into 2 groups: a control group(n=10) and a model group(n=20). The rabbits in the control group were administrated bilirubin intraperitoneally, with a total dose of 300 mg/kg, while those in the model group were administrated with saline at the same dose. All the animals were fed well for 45 days until they were sacrificed for observation of the ultrastructure of brain tissue and quantification of DA neurons. Results The ultrastructure of nigra-striatum of the control group demonstrated significant changes; The quantity of nigra-striatum DA neurons of the control group decreased. Conclusion The ultrastructure of nigra-striatum of the control group has had obviously changes. The nigra-striatum DA neuron of CP rabbits was impaired and the quantity of nigra-striatum DA neuron of CP rabbits was reduced.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and transmission mechanisms of plasmid-mediated blaoxa-23 resistance genes in Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods One hundred and one Acinetobacter baumannii were collected from Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University and Renji Hospital Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.Antibiotic susceptibility of carbapenems were determined by standard agar dilution method.Molecular typing of Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) was performed by MLST.blaoxa-23、blaoxa-24、blaoxa-51、blaoxa-58、blaIMP-1、blaVIM-1/2 and blaAmp-C were analyzed by PCR.The analysis of blaoxa-23 transposons for carbapenems resistant A.baumannii isolates was also performed by PCR.Plasmid was analyzed by gel electrophoresis.Conjugation experiments were performed to determine the transferability of blaoxa-23.Results The antibiotic susceptibility tests showed the resistant rates to carbapenems were extremely high , and the ones of imipenem and meropenem were 64.4%and 69.3%.Fifty-six (53%) isolates were carbapenems-resistant A.baumannii.Main clone ST208 includes 28 isolates(50%) in CRAB.A total of the CRAB isolates harbored blaoxa-23 and blaoxa-51 (100%), 44 for blaIMP-1(78.6%) and 54 for blaAmp-C(96.4%), while blaoxa-24, blaoxa-58 and blaVIM-1/2 was undetected.Two previously identified transposons ( Tn2006 and Tn2008 ) was found in the isolates.Plasmid gel electrophoresis results showed that the isolates carried 2-4 plasmids and blaoxa-23 were transferable by plasmids.Conclusions There is high carbapenems resistance of A.baumannii infections.ST208 was the most prevalent molecular type.The mainly drug-resistant genes of A.baumannii are blaoxa-23.Based on the findings, blaoxa-23 is plasmid mediated, suggesting that it may transfer by plasmids carrying Tn 2008 transposon, thus induced isolates resistant to carbapenemase.

Objective To explore the relationship between the levels of leptin and leptin receptor in placental and intrauterine growth retardation.Methods Eighty seven newborns were studied .Auxological data(birth weight, length and biceps, triceps, subscapular and iliac skinfold thickness) were obtained and recorded.According to birth weight ,the subjects were divided into :the small for gestational age(SGA)group and the appropriate for gestational age (AGA) group.The levels of leptin and leptin receptor mRNA in 87 placental tissue were assayed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results 1. The level of leptin receptor mRNA in placental was 0.894?0.291, which was positively related to the birth weight and body fat content (r=0.651,0.581,both P

Objective To investigate the effect of metformin on proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in adipogenie medium. Methods Bone marrow MSCs were isolated from SD rats and cultured in adipogenic medi- um with or without 100?mol/L metformin. MTT test was performed to evaluate the proliferation of cells, while oil red O staining and real time RT - PCR were performed to evaluate the differentiation of cells. Results The number of bone marrow MSCs in two groups both increased over time, and metformin induced more cells. However, the cells affected by metformin showed smaller and less cytoplasmic lipid droplets compared with the cells in control group. Moreover, real time RT - PCR has shown the inhibitory effect of metformin on adipocyte differentiation, with significantly decreased mRNA levels for adipogenic markers. Conclusion Metformin may promote proliferation, but inhibit differentiation of bone marrow MSCs cultured in adipogenic medium.

Objective To investigate the resistance rates of the Candida albicans strains isolated from patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis to 5 antifungal agents and examine the mechanism of azole resistance in these strains.Methods A total of 1 646 C.albicans strains were collected in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from January to December 2015.The resistance rates of these isolates to five antifungal agents were analyzed.Azole-resistant (n=30),dose dependent sensitive (S-DD) (n=13),and susceptible isolates (n=10) were randomly selected from the microbiology laboratories of three obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Shanghai.The expression levels of drug efflux pump related gene CDR1,CDR2,MDR1 and drug target enzyme gene ERG11 were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR).At the same time,the ERG11 and ERG3 genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced,and analyzed for resistance-related mutations.Results Of the 1 646 C.albicans strains,5.2%,3.2%,2.5% and 2.1% were resistant to itraconazole,voriconazole,fluconazole and 5-fluorocytosine,respectively.All isolates were sensitive to amphotericin B.The expression of ERG11 gene was significantly higher in S-DD group and azole-resistant group than in azole-sensitive group (P<0.05).The expression of CDR1,CDR2 and MDR1 did not show significant difference among the three groups.There were 13 missense mutations in the ERG11 gene,of which T123I,P98S and Y286D amino acid substitutions were newly discovered.Both T123I and Y132H were identified in 26 resistant isolates,of which 16 gene mutation was detected in two pan-azole-resistant isolates.Conclusions The C.albicans strains isolated from vulvovaginal candidiasis showed higher resistance rates to azole antifumgal agents than that to 5-fluorocytosine and amphotericin B.Mutation and over-expression ofERG11 gene may be one of the prevalent molecular mechanisms underlying azole resistance in C.albicans.were pan-azole-resistant.In addition,the ERG3 heterozygous
