This study was aimed to observe the effect of Yang-Xue Qing-Nao(YXQN) granules on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in CA1area of hippocampus among vascular dementia (VD) rats.A total of 72 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group,VD model group (model group) and YXQN treatment group (treatment group).The VD rat model was prepared by modified Pulsineli's four-vessel occlusion.The learning and memory abilities of rats were detected by the Morris water maze.The protein expressions of BDNF and bFGF were detected by the immunohistochemical analysis.The results showed that compared with the sham operation group,there was obvious learning and memory disorders in the model group with increased protein expressions of BDNF and bFGF in CA1 area of hippocampus at difference time points (P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the learning and memory abilities of rats in the treatment group were significantly improved; and the protein expressions of BDNF and bFGF in CA1 area of hippocampus were significantly increased at difference time points (P<0.01).The expression was the highest on the 4th week.It was concluded that YXQN granules can improve the learning and memory abilities of VD rats.Its mechanism may be related to the upregulation of protein expression of BDNF and bFGF.

Objective To observe the effects of autophagy on the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, growth-associated pro-tein-43 (GAP-43) and microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2), in CA1 area of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats. Methods Nine-ty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, vascular dementia model group (VD group), autophagy in-hibitor 3-methyl adenine preconditioning group (3-MA group) and autophagy agonist rapamycin preconditioning group (Rap group). Each group was divided randomly into subgroups of one week, two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after modeling, six rats in each group. The vascular dementia rat model was established with modified Pulsineli's four-vessel occlusion. The expression of GAP-43 and MAP-2 in CA1 area of hippocampus were detected with immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the sham group, the expression of GAP-43 protein increased, and the expression of MAP-2 protein decreased at every time point in VD group (P<0.01). Compared with VD group, the expres-sion of both GAP-43 and MAP-2 increased in 3-MA group (P<0.05), and decreased in Rap group (P<0.05). Conclusion Autophagy may in-hibit the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, GAP-43 and MAP-2, in CA1 area of hippocampus in vascular dementia rats, indi-cating inhibition of autophagy may promote synaptic remodeling.

Objective To observe the effects of Eldepryl on expressions of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in substantia nigra and striatum in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and to explore the protective mechanism of Eldepryl on dopaminergic neuron . Methods Healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (n=72) were randomly divided into control group, model group and Eldepryl group (n=24 in each group). Each group was divided random?ly into 2 subgroups as 4 day treatment group and 8 day treatment group (n=12 in each subgrop). Pakinson’s disease model was established by injecting rotenone subcutaneously back the neck, rats in the control group were injected with an equal vol?ume of sunflower oil subcutaneously at the same location. Rats in the Eldepryl group were then given Eldepryl 0.5 mg·kg-1 in?tragastrically every day for 4 or 8 consecutive days and rats in model group and control group were given an equal volume of saline instead. The expression of TH and GDNF in substantia nigra and striatum were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting showed that strong expression of TH positive cells with little expression of GDNF positive cells were seen in substantia nigra and striatum in rats of control group, and there was no significant difference between subgroup of 8 day treatment and 4 day treatment within control group. The expression of TH cells and GDNF were both significantly reduced in model group compared with those in control group (both P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between subgroup of 8 day treatment and 4 day treatment within each group. The ex?pression of TH positive cells were significantly reduced in Eldepryl group compared with those in control group, and were sig?nificantly increased compared with those in model group. The expression of GDNF positive cells were significantly increased in Eldepryl group compared with those in control group and model group (all P<0.05). And there were significantly more ex?pression of TH positive cells and GDNF positive cells at subgroup of 8 day treatment compared with those at subgroup of 4 day treatment within Eldepryl group with (all P<0.05). Conclusion These data suggest that Eldepryl can protect the dam?age of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra and striatum of PD rats. And its therapeutic mechanism may be associated with increased expression of GDNF.

This study was aimed to observe the effect ofYang-Xue Qing-Nao(YXQN) granules on expressions of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) andβ-catenin in CA1 area of hippocampus among vascular dementia (VD) rats. A total of 72 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, VD group (model group) and the YXQN granules treatment group (treatment group). The VD rat model was prepared by modified Pulsineli’s four-vessel occlusion. The expressions of GSK-3β andβ-catenin in CA1 area of hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemistry and western blotting at the 1st week, 2nd week, 4th weeks and 8th week after VD model operation. The results showed that expressions of GSK-3βwere increased in the model group at different time points, which were many quantities of expression at the 1st week, and a large number of expressions at the 2nd week. It reached peak at the 4th week; and began to decline but still higher at the 8th week. Compared with the sham operation group, the expression of GSK-3β was significantly increased in the model group at different time points (P < 0.01). The expression ofβ-catenin was increased in the model group at different time points. However, there was no statistical significance compared with the sham operation group (P > 0.05). Compared with the model group, expressions of GSK-3β andβ-catenin were significantly increased in the treatment group at different time points (P < 0.01). It was concluded that YXQN granules upregulated the expression of GSK-3β andβ-catenin, which may be helpful to VD treatment.

Objective To realize the clinical characteristics of fungemia in premature infants.Methods Clinical characteristics of fungemia in premature infants in the intensive care unit of a children''s hospital between January 2011 and December 2015 were analyzed retrospectively, general condition of premature infants, laboratory-related indicators, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing results were compared.Results From January 2011 to December 2015, 42 premature infants with confirmed fungemia were treated in this hospital, 22 (52.38％) of whom were with fungemia caused by Candida albicans(C.albicans), 13 (30.95％) by Candida parapsilosis (C.parapsilosis), 3 by Candida krusei (C.krusei), and 4 by other fungi.Patients were grouped according to the main pathogens causing infection: C.parapsilosis group and C.albicans group.Maternal genitourinary tract infection rate and incidence of fungal meningitis in C.albicans group were both higher than C.parapsilosis group(27.27％ vs 7.69％, 27.27％ vs 0.00％ respectively), peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) rate in C.albicans group was lower than that in C.parapsilosis group(22.73％ vs 69.23％), platelet count in C.parapsilosis group was lower than C.albicans group, differences were all statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conclusion The major fungi causing fungemia in premature infants were C.parapsilosis and C.albicans, maternal reproductive system infection during pregnancy can easily lead to candidemia, premature infants with candidemia are more vulnerable to developing fungal meningitis;PICC is more likely to lead to C.parapsilosis fungemia, and platelet decline is more obvious.

Objective To investigate the effect of illness severity on preterm infant's hypothalamusputituary-adrenal (HPA) axis, we measured the serum concentration of cortisol,aldosterone and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Methods Ninety preterm infants who were transferred to our hospital within 72 hours after birth were involved. These preterm infants were divided into two groups:gestational age (GA) ≥34 weeks' preterm infants and GA <34 weeks' preterm infants. We evaluated these preterm infants at the time of admission,day 7 and day 14 after birth with neonatal critical illness score (NCIS). Then they were divided into mild group and severe group by the lowest score. We measured their serum cortisol,aldosterone and ACTH at the time of admission,day 7 and day l4 after birth. Results (1) The serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness. Among the GA ≥34 weeks' preterm infants,the serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was significandy higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness within 72 hours after birth (t = -2.263,P =0. 029). Among the GA <34 weeks' preterm infants,the serum cortisol concentration of preterm infants with severe illness was significantly higher than that of preterm infants with mild illness on day 14 after birth (t =-2. 913 ,P =0. 006). (2) Among the preterm infants with severe illness,the serum cortisol concentration of the GA≥34 weeks' was significantly higher than that of the GA < 34 weeks' within 72 hours after birth (t =-2. 641 ,P =0. 010) ;the serum cortisol concentration of the GA <34 weeks' was significantly higher than that of the GA≥34 weeks' on the day 14 after birth(t = -2. 189,P =0. 036) . (3) The serum cortisol concentration was significantly decreased in the GA≥34 weeks'preterm infants (F = 4. 679, P =0. 012). (4) The serum cortisol concentration of aldosterone and ACTH was not significantly different between preterm infants with severe illness and those with mild illness. Conclusion The preterm infant already has the ability to respond to stimuli by regulating cortisol secretion. The serum cortisol concentration increases as disease severity worsens.Serum aldosterone and ACTH concentration are not correlated with the severity of the disease.
