Objective To assess the sacrococcygeal microcirculation and the change trend of complete spinal cord injury patients,and in order to provide evidence for turn-over time of spinal cord injury patients.Methods The spinal cord injury patients that met the inclusion criteria were set as the experimental group,patients with orthopedic trauma were named as the similar control group.And certain healthy volunteers were named as the healthy control group.The sacrococcygeal microcirculation of supine position for 1h,and lateral position for 0.5 h was monitored using Doppler blood flow monitor system,then take load period 0min、15m in 、30min、45min、60min,recovery period 0min、15min、30min as research points,the blood perfusion value and the change trend were monitored and analyzed.Results The sacrococcygeal microcirculation in SCI patients were significantly less than two control groups after 30min in supine position,and the blood flow increased at first and then decreased within one hour.While the healthy subjects increased gradually within one hour.Conclusions The time of position change for SCI patients should be reassessed,the interval should be controlled in one hour.

Objective To investigate the infiltration of inflammatory cells and the pathogenesis of nasal polyps. Methods the nasal polyps were obtained from 42 patients undergoing nasal operations. The tissues from each patient were stained with HE and Toluidine Blue for eosiophils, lymphocyte, plasma cell and mast cell and observed under the light microscope. A mean number of the above cells were counted. All data were analyzed with the Ttest. Results Eosinophils were found predominantly in 12 polyps(28.57％). Lymphocyte infiltration was shown in the other 30 polyps (71.43％). Furthermore, many mast cells with only a few eosinophils were found in the lymphocyte infiltration polyps; the number of mast cells in these polyps were much more than those in eosinophil accumulation polyps with a very significant difference(P＜0.01). Conclusion The accumulation of eosinophils in the nasal polyps does not appear to be related to the presence of mast cells and allergy. The disorder of immunity may play an important role in the formation of nasal polyps.

Objective To observe the changes of subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) in diabetic patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and clinically significant macular edema(CSME),and then investigate diabetic SFCT and the relationship of diabetic CT with diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods The patients were divided into 2 groups according to clinical guidelines of DR in China in 2014,including NPDR CSME + group(21 eyes) and NPDR CSME-group(36 eyes).All patients were underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,axial length,slit lamp microscope,indirect ophthalmoscope,EDI-OCT examination,and mean arterial blood pressure measurement.The differences of BCVA,central retinal thickness (CRT) and SFCT between NPDR CSME + group and NPDR CSME-group were studied as well by means of using SPSS 18.0 for data statistics.Results There was no significant difference in gender,age,eye axis and intraocular pressure between NPDR CSME + group and NPDR CSME-group (all P ＞ 0.05).There was significant difference in BCVA between the two groups (P =0.001).The mean SFCT were (328.24 ± 101.92) μm in the NPDR CSME + group and (235.31 ± 66.98) μm in the NPDR CSME-group,and the difference was statistically significant (t =4.156,P=0.000).And plotting changes in CRT against changes in SFCT in patients with CSME revealed a positive correlation(r =0.473,P =0.000).Conclusion SFCT in NPDR CSME + patient is thicker than that in NPDR CSME-patient.And plotting changes in CRT against changes in SFCT in patients with CSME reveals a positive correlation.

Objective To screen the amyloid protein-β(Aβ)degradation-associated genes through peripheral blood monocytes(PBMC)-extracted gene microarray analysis in patients with Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods PBMC were isolated from blood of elderly AD patients versus age-matched healthy individuals(control).The cDNA(mRNAs)were analyzed using gene microarray.And real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction detection and enzyme activity analysis were used to verify the primary outcome of gene chip.Results The expression of cathepsin D mRNA in peripheral blood monocytes was 104.70±15.96 in AD patients as compared with the control group 49.86±5.19,and the activity of cathepsin D was (22 620 ± 1 389) RFU in AD versus (32 210 ± 2 284) RFU in control (both P＜0.05).Conclusions The results suggest that the decreased levels of cathepsin D could be the stage markers related to the pathophysiology of AD process.Based on the microarray data,we select cathepsin D genes for further study.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of Qianjin Fubao (QJFB) on behavior and estradiol level in femal chronic stress model rats.

METHODTwenty four female Wistar rats (2 month old) were evenly randomized into normal control, animal model and QJFB (0.7 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) group. The QIFB group and the stress group were exposed to a chronic unpredictable stress for 21 days. Rats of the QJFB group received perfusion of Qianjin Fubao, and rats of stress and control group were perfused with normal saline. The behavior of three groups were determined with the method of Open-field before and after right stress respectively. Serum level of estradiol was detected with radioim munoassay.

RESULTThe behavioral score and the serum level of estradiol of the stressed group were significantly lower than those of the control group after stress (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences of behavioral score and the serum level of estradiol between QJFB group and control group.

CONCLUSIONThe chronic unpredictable stress can induce the stressful change of behavior, and QJFB may recover the rats'abnormal behavior and improve the serum level of estradiol. QJFB may have protective effect on stress.

Objective To explore the status of intracranial aneurysms screened by CTA among the population with family history of stroke.Methods 200 patients including 108 men and 92 women in our hospital were involved,who had a family history of stroke.Head CTA examination,physical examination and laboratory tests were performed.Results 200 male and female had no statistical significance in demographic characteristics,past medical history and physical testing (P＞0.05);in lifestyle,smoking and drinking prevalence among male were higher than female (P＜0.05),and drug-usage rate of female were higher than male (P＜0.05).27 cases (13.5 ￥)had intracranial aneurysms,including 13 male cases (12.03 ％) and 14 females cases(15.22 ％),and there was one occurred aneurysm rupture and subarachnoid hemorrhage,the prevalence rate of aneurysm rupture was 87％.The 27 intracranial aneurysms cases had 29 CPC aneurysms,with 2 cases had two aneurysms.The number of aneurysm diameter ＜3 mm were 7 (24.14％),3 7 mm diameter were 12 (41.38％),and ＞7 mm were 10 (34.48％).Classified by the morphology,there were 7 (24.14％) fusiform aneurysm,22 (75.86％) cystic,3 (10.34％) small drops of blood sample.Conclusion CTA is a noninvasive and effective method for intracranial aneurysm,can provide additional valuable diagnostic information particularly for emergency of aneurysm screening.

In order to obtain the fungicides with minimal impact on efficiency of mycorrhizal symbiosis, the effect of five fungicides including polyoxins, jinggangmycins, thiophanate methylate, chlorothalonil and carbendazim on the growth of medicinal plant and efficiency of mycorrhizal symbiosis were studied. Pot cultured Glycyrrhiza uralensis was treated with different fungicides with the concentration that commonly used in the field. 60 d after treated with fungicides, infection rate, infection density, biomass indexes, photosyn- thetic index and the content of active component were measured. Experimental results showed that carbendazim had the strongest inhibition on mycorrhizal symbiosis effect. Carbendazim significantly inhibited the mycorrhizal infection rate, significantly suppressed the actual photosynthetic efficiency of G. uralensis and the most indicators of biomass. Polyoxins showed the lowest inhibiting affection. Polyoxins had no significant effect on mycorrhizal infection rate, the actual photosynthetic efficiency of G. uralensis and the most indicators of biomass. The other three fungicides also had an inhibitory effect on efficiency of mycorrhizal symbiosis, and the inhibition degrees were all between polyoxins's and carbendazim's. The author considered that fungicide's inhibition degree on mycorrhizal effect might be related with the species of fungicides, so the author suggested that the farmer should try to choose bio-fungicides like polyoxins.
