Recent evidence has shown that neurogenesis occurs throughout adulthood, and neural stem cells reside in the adult central nervous system (CNS) in mammals. Experimental stroke in adult mammals increases neurogenesis from neural stem cells or progenitor cells located in the dentate subgranular zone and the subventricular zone lining the lateral ventricle. New neurons can migrate to the areas of damage regions and express morphological markers characteristic of died neurons. These findings bring hope for self-repair after brain injury. The author of this paper reviewed the adult neurogenesis and its regulation in vivo, and described evidence for stroke-induced neurogenesis and neuronal replacement in the adult, and discussed the future research directions about neurogenesis after stroke and other brain injuries.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate inhibitory effects of matrine on the proliferation of human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells and its mechanism. METHODS:The cell viability was detected by MTT assay and inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was calculat-ed after human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells were treated with 0(negative control),0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 mg/ml matrine for 24,48 and 72 h,respectively. After treated with 0 (negative control),0.5,1.0,2.0 and 4.0 mg/ml matrine for 48 h,the cell cycle and apoptotic rate were detected by flow cytometry;the expression of Survivin,Caspase-3 and Caspase-7 protein were detected by Western blot assay. RESULTS:Compared with negative control,the proliferation of BIU-87 cells were significantly inhibited after incubated with 1.0-4.0 mg/ml matrine for 24,48 and 72 h(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and inhibitory rate of cell proliferation increased in concentration and time-dependant manner;after treated for 48 h,the percentage of G0/G1 phase cells and apoptotic rate in-creased,while the percentage of cells at S phase and G2/M phase were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the expression of Cas-pase-3 and Caspase-7 protein increased,while the expression of survivin protein decreased after incubated with 0.5-4.0 mg/ml ma-trine for 48 h. CONCLUSIONS:Matrine can inhibit the proliferation of human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells,block the cell cycle and induce apoptosis;its mechanism may be related to the expression regulation of Survivin,Caspase-3 and Caspase-7.

After the significance to asses the value of information resources in hospital library was elaborated, the methods to assess the value of information resources in hospital library were constructed by contingent valuation and investment return analysis in combination with the practical service in hospital library according to the analysis of the economic value assessment in domestic and foreign public libraries and academic libraries.

AIM:To establish an HPLC-ELSD method for determing dulcitol and astragaloside in Compound Fufangteng Capsules(Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng rubra,Radix Astragali,Herba Euonymi,etc).METHOD:Chro-matographic conditions included Lichrospher 5-NH_2 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m)and the mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile-water(91 ∶9).The flow rate of mobile phase was 1.0 mL/min.The column tempe-rature was at 28 ℃.Detector:PL-ELS2100 ELSD(Eva:65 ℃,Ned:50 ℃,gas flow:0.9 L/min).RESULTS:The linear ranges of dulcitol and astragaloside were 2.91-29.1 ?g(r= 0.999 8)and 1.03-10.3 ?g(r= 0.999 1),respectively.The average recoveries of dulcitol and astragaloside were 99.24% and 103.17% with corresponding RSD of 2.6 % and 1.8%(n=6),respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is steady and with good repeatability,and can be used to determine the content of dulcitol and astragaloside in Compound Fufangteng Capsules.

By expounding the definition and application status quo of egg freezing with non-medical factors, this paper ethically analyzed the conflict between egg freezing with non-medical factors and assisted reproductive technology standard management. After systematic evaluation on effectiveness, safety, economy and ethics, it sug-gested that the egg freezing with non-medical factors required careful consideration.

Objective To investigate effects of Kanglaite injection on proliferation, cycle and apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells;To discuss its relevant mechanism. Methods Logarithmic growth phase cells were divided into control group and Kanglaite-treatment group (10, 20, 40μL/mL). Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 for 24 h before drug treatment. The inhibition rate of Kanglaite injection on proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was detected by MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle of MCF-7 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Changes in cell nucleus were determined by Hochest staining assay. Protein expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by ELISA and Western blot. Results Kanglaite injection for 12 h, 24 h or 48 h resulted in a significant inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation (P<0.05, P<0.01);Compared with the control group, Kanglaite injection-treated cells showed increased percentage in G2/M and G0/G1 phases (P<0.001, P<0.01), but showed decreased percentage in S phase (P<0.01), and apoptosis rate increased (P<0.05, P<0.001). Kanglaite injection significantly decreased protein expression of Bcl-2, and enhanced protein expression of Bax of MCF-7 cells (P<0.01, P<0.001). Conclusion Kanglaite injection can inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, decrease cell cycle and induce apoptosis, the mechanism is related with decreasing protein expression of Bcl-2 and enhance the protein expression of Bax.

A method to assess library-holding journals according to their weighted citations was proposed in light of the actual needs of users for core journals, the use of library-holding journals and references by authors in different orders of precedence.The Western journal of rheumatology, highly cited by authors of Second Military Medical U-niversity, were assessed using this method, showing that this method is better than the citation analysis-based tra-ditional method in assessment of journals.

Objective To assess the effect of L-carnitine(L-CN)on left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. Methods Thirty-one patients undergoing hemodialysis were randomly divided into the L-CN group(n =20)and the control group(n = 11). Patients in the L-CN group received additional intravenous injection of 1.0 g L-CN immediately after hemodialysis for a 6-month period. Patients in the control group received isovolumic saline. Using echocardiography,left ventricular mass (LVM),left ventricular mass index(LVMI)and the ejection fraction(EF)were measured before and after the treatment. Plasma calculus,plasma phosphorus and hemoglobin levels were measured. Results The LVM decreased significantly from(252. 03 ±32. 29)g to(204. 47 ± 37.33)g in patients in L-CN group(P ＜ 0. 05),the LVMI decreased significantly from (155.83 ± 23.42)g/m2 to(129. 21 ± 17.46)g/m2 in patients in the L-CN group. However,LVM and LVMI remained unchanged in the control group. Conclusions Supplementation with L-CN induced hypertrophy of LVH in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
