ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Shen-wu capsule on learning and memory ability and its mechanism in APP transgenic mice. MethodsThe APP 695V717I transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group, Shen-wu low dose group (0.4g/kg·d) and high dose group (1.2g/kg·d). Normal control adopted the same age and background C57BL/6J mice. The animals were administered intragastrically by the drug or water from 4 month old to 10 month old. Morris water maze and object recognition test were performed to measure the learning and memory ability. The content of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain cortex homogenate was detected with RIA,and amyloid plaques were measured with Congo red staining. ResultsIn the Morris water maze test, swimming time and swimming distance of model group were prolonged distinctly(P<0.01). Shen-wu high dose group obviously shortened swimming time(P<0.05). In the object recognition test, the relative time to the new objection in model group was obviously shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05). The relative time to the new objection for Shen-wu high dose group was obviously longer than the model group(P<0.05). The content of soluble Aβ in model group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Shen-wu group decreased the soluble Aβ distinctly(P<0.01). The amyloid plaques were increased in the brain of model mice(P<0.01). Each group of Shen-wu decreased amyloid plaques significantly(P<0.01).ConclusionShen-wu Capsule ameliorated the learning and memory function disorder and decreased Aβ formation in the brain of APP transgenic model mice.

In our gastroenterology clinic from Jun. 2008 to Jan. 2009, 20. 9% (277/1320) patients were diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (FD) and 14. 8% (41/277) of them with psychological problems according to Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). In those with psychological disorders,92.7% were found with somatization, 60. 9% with depression and anxiety, 97.6% with abdominal pain,75.6% with bloating, 63.4% with early fullness and 36. 6% with nausea. More than 80% patients with anxiety and depression complained irritability, worry, fatigue, poor concentration, memory loss and insomni.a. After 4 weeks of psychological consultation and anti-depression treatment, 5 patients had significant improvement, 31 had improvement and 3 had no response. The overall response rate was 87. 8%.In summary,there is a high prevalence of depression and anxiety in population with FD. Hypochondria and somatization are common among these patients. Psychological consultation with anxiolytic drugs may have good therapeutic effects.

Objective To evaluate the influence of duration of laser irradiation on histomorphometric meas- urements in experimentally tenotomized and repaired rabbit Achilles tendons and to explore the best irradiation time. Methods A total of 20 male New Zealand rabbits aged 10-12 weeks were used and randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group and three experimental groups.All the animals underwent surgical excised and then repair of their Achillis tendon.The animals in the control group were then treated with sham laser irradiation,while those in the three experimental groups were treated with 10,20 and 30 minutes of He-Ne laser irradiation(632.8 nm, 18.9 mW)daily,respectively,for 14 days.On the 28th day after surgical operation,the animals were sacrificed and their Achilles tendons were sampled.HE stain and Van Geison stain were used to observe morphometric changes of tendons.The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis method and CS-930 photodensity scan instrument were employed to measure the content of typesⅠandⅢcollagen.Results it was shown that laser irradiation enhanced cell proliferation,cel- lular content,granulation tissue formation and collagen deposition in laser-treated tendons,especially in those irradia- ted for 20 minute daily,as compared to the control group.TypeⅠand typeⅢcollagen levels were significantly in- creased at the 28th day in the healing tendons and the ratio of collagenⅢtoⅠincreased in all the 3 experimental groups,and the increase of both collagen content and ratio of collagen typeⅢtoⅠwas significantly greater in those ir- radiated 20 minutes daily(P

Objective To explore the effects of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy stilbene-2-β-D-glycoside(TSG)on the over-expression and aggregation of α-synuclein in vitro.Methods TSG in different concentrations was incubated with α-synuclein transgenic COS-7 cells for 24 h.The cell viability was measured by MTT method.The expression of α-synuclein protein was determined by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting method.Results Incubation of TSG at the range of 12.5～200.0 μmol/L with α-synuclein transgenic COS-7 cells for 24 h did not influence cell viability,but a dose-dependently inhibition for the over-expression of α-synuclein protein could be observed in the tests of immunocytochemistry and Western blotting.Conclusion TSG can inhibit the over-expression of α-synuclein protein in COS-7 cells in vitro.

Objective To determine the rehabilitation outcome of patients with stroke caused by middle cerebral artery insult. Methods Eighty-three patients were divided into three groups: cortex insult group, basal ganglia insult group and combined group. Activities of daily living (ADL), motor function and walk were assessed by using the Barthel Index, Brunnstrom Stages and walking assessment. Comparisons of all data were carried out among the groups. Results On admission, there were significant differences among the 3 groups in terms of activities of daily living, motor function and walk. The cortex insult group had the highest scores while the combined group the lowest. A comparison among the 3 groups at discharge demonstrated the same results as those on admission. It was shown that all the groups improved significantly at discharge when compared with admission status, indicating that stroke rehabilitation was effective. Conclusion The motor deficit in the combined group was the most severe, but systematic rehabilitation could make functional improvement in the patient. The basal ganglia insult group has the biggest rehabilitation potential. The cortex insult group has the best outcome.

Objective:To investigate the anti-fibrotic effect of sirolimus(rapamycin)at the cell level.Methods:The primary cultured rat renal cortical myofibroblasts were divided into two groups,control group and sirolimus 40 mg/L group at each time point.The protein levels of ?-SMA,Col-Ⅰ,fibronectin(FN)were analyzed by Western blot in both the whole cell lysates and supernatant culture media 12 h,24 h and 48 h after incubation,respectively.Real-time quantitative PCR was carried out to measure the levels of procollagen-ⅠmRNA 1 h,2 h,4 h,and 6 h after cell incubation.The activities of gelatinase MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the supernatant from the cultured cell media were assayed by gelatin zymography.Results:(1)Sirolimus had no effect on the expression of ?-SMA of myofibroblasts at differnet time points.(2)The expression of Col-Ⅰin the whole cell lysates both reduced at the end of 24 h and 48 h in sirolimus group significantly [(0.58?0.05)and(0.63?0.18),P
