Objective To investigate the association between brain structure abnormalities and neuropsychology impairment in CAD patients.Methods Nineteen patients with CAD and 1 7 healthy adults were examed with MRI,and T1 WI,T2 WI,FLAIR,DWI and DKI image were performed,and then comparing the acquired MRI findings between two groups.Results Significant differences were observed for MK values in splenium and body of the corpus callosum,left cerebellar hemisphere and amygdala cerebelli.MK values of CAD group were lower than those of healthy group in these regions,and differences were statistically significant(P <0.05). There were significant correlation between MK values of the left amygdala cerebelli and MoCA scores in CAD group.Conclusion DKI could detect the changes of brain tissue microstructure in CAD patients early.The correlation between MK and neuropsychologi-cal function provides an important basis for early diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To evaluate the value of transthoracic echocardionraphy(TTE)and angiographic appearance for measurement of the diameter of patent ductus arteriosus(PDA)in transcatheter interventions.Methods In 52 patients,the position,diameter and length of ductus arteriosus between the descending aorta and the pulmonary artery were observed and the narrowest diameter of PDA was measured by TTE.In angiographic appearance,pig catheter was selected to perform left lateral aortography and measure the narrowest diameter of PDA.Comparative studies were performed on the numbers measured by 2 methods.Results Aortography showed that 45 patients had funnel shape PDA and 5 patients had tubular shape PDA,while 1 patient had funnel plus tubular shape PDA and 1 patient had residual shunt after operation.TTE showed that 46 patients had funnel shape PDA,4 patients had tubular shape PDA and 1 patient had window shape PDA,1 patient had residual shunt after operation.The mean diameter of PDA measured by angiographic appearance was(3.72?2.51)mm,which was statistically lower than those by TTE(4.47?2.31)mm(t=5.17 P

Characters of one Candida intermedia yeast strain which isolated from nature can produce ethanol from xylose-fermenting been systemic studied. In conditions 28?C, 120 r/min, 72 h, it can produce 6.480 g/L ethanol from 7% xylose and 43.70% theoretical production of ethanol from 3% xylose. It can produce up to 21.225 g/L ethanol when incubation time prolong to 156 h from 8% xylose. It also can ferment 13% glucose produce 47.647 g/L ethanol and reach 76.90% of theoretical ethanol production, respectively. Compared to CK, ethanol productivity can be improved 9.91% when add 8% xylose in three times as 3%, 2% and 3%, respectively. Glucose can be first utilized in the mixture sugar medium. When the ratio of xylose vs. glucose is 3:1in mixture sugar, the productivity of ethanol can be improving 25%.

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-azacytidine and estradiol on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNA methyltransferasel (DNMT1) mRNA in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal controls.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from 12 patients with SLE and 11 normal human controls were stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin for one day followed by additional 3-day culture with or without the presence of 5-azacytidine of 1 μmol/L or estradiol of 30μg/L respectively.Then.the methylation of CpG motifs was detected by flow cytometry using anti-5-methylcytosine antibody,and DNMT1 mRNA expression by real time reverse transcription-PCR Results After treatment with 5-azacytidine,a decrease wag observed in the methylation of CpG motifs, but not in the expression of DNMT1 mRNA in peripheral lymphocytes from patients with SLE (1=18.60,P<0.01;t=1.56.P>0.05) and in those from the normal controls (t=5.63,P<0.01;t=2.17,P>0.05) compared with untreated lymphocytes.Nevertheless,there were no significant changes in the methylation of CpG motifs or expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes from patients with SLE (t=1.53,0.93,respectively,both P>0.05) and normal controls (t=1.93,0.11,respectively,both P>0.05) after the treatment with estradiol.Conclusions The methylation of CpG motifs is suppressed efficiently by 5-azacytidine,and the suppression is unlikely to be associated with the decrease of DNMT1 mRNA.Estradiol has no significant impact on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of endotoxin pretreatment on hippocampal neurons in rat forebrain following ischemia reperfusion and its possible mechanism. Methods Rat forebrain ischemia reperfusion model was used. The effects of endotoxin pretreatment on the changes of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH PX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) activities and the neuron count in CA1 region were observed. Results Pretreament with endotoxin before cerebral ischemia enhanced the activities of SOD and GSH PX but decreased MDA level and the number of ischemic neurons in CA1 region. Conclusion Endotoxin pretreatment can protect the neurons in rat forebrain against ischemia reperfusion injury. The mechanism may be associated with the enhancement of endogenous antioxidant activity in central nervous system.

This article provides the possible mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion repair of gastric mucosal injury from central regulation and puts it forward that the nucleus of solitary tract is the primary regulation center for the injury repair and has the effect of collecting and integrating information. In addition, it is put forward that neural regulation is a main regulatory mechanism for the injury repair and besides, endocrine, immune and humoral regulations participates in the modulation and gastric mucosal repair involves a composite regulatory mechanism in which the central nervous system, neuroendocrine-immune network and neurohumoral regulation take part.
