ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of focal ischemic preconditioning (IPC) on the expression of protein kinase-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase ( PERK ) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) mRNA and protein after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats.MethodsAll 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation group,middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group and brain ischemia preconditioning (BIP) group.Each group was further divided into 4 subgroups according to 12 h,1,2 and 3 d after I/R.The IPC models were made in order to measure the expression of PERK,GRP78 mRNA and protein by in situ hybridization and Western blot,and the apoptosis rate of neuron by flow cytometry. Results ①The expression of PERK mRNA increased and reached the peak at 12 h,then decreased continuously after 1 d.BIP could decrease its expression.The expression of PERK protein increased at 12 h and reached the peak at 24 h,then decreased continuously after 2 d.BIP could decrease its expression.②The expression both of GRP78 mRNA and its protein all increased and reached the peak at 12 h,then decreased continuously.BIP could increase their expression (mRNA:12 h: 136.70±9.53,F=32.265; 24 h:147.54 ±9.97,F=54.920; 2 d:158.16 ±9.44,F=45.374; 3d: 165.85±10.26,F=16.493,P<0.05; protein:12 h: 1.319±0.116,F=5.619,P<0.05; 24 h: 1.226±0.108,F=33.742,P<0.01; 2 d:1.183 ±0.112,F =46.556,P <0.01; 3 d:1.115± 0.098,F =11.730,P<0.05).③The rate of apoptosis neuron of rats in MCAO increased markedly at 12 h after reperfusion,and reached the peak at 1 d,then decreased continuously.BIP could decrease the rate of apoptosis neuron. Conclusion BIP can protect neurons through inhibiting the expression of PERK and inducing the expression of GRP78 after endoplasmic reticulum stress in rats.

Objective To investigate clinical features of chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) in Kunming of Yunnan Province.Methods From October 2008 to October 2013,CAD in-patients in our hospital were selected and their general conditions,outcomes of photo-sensitive test and photo-patch test were analyzed in details.Results (1) Among 169 CAD patients,gender ratio (male:female) was 8.9:1.The lesions were mainly distributed on the exposed areas.(2) Photo-sensitive tests of 93 patients showed that the average value of UVA-MPPDwas 7.39 JPcm2 and that of UVB-MED was 20.91 mJPcm2.(3) The results of photo-patch test in 83 patients showed that 48 patients (67.8%) had positive reactions in patch test,and the most common contactant was balsam peru.Fifty-eight patients (69.9%) had positive reactions in photo-patch test indicating that the most common contactant in photo-patch test was balsam peru.Conclusions CAD appears mostly in the middle aged and the aged males and the lesions are mainly distributed on exposed areas.The most common contactants in photo-patch test are balsam peru and perfumed compounds.

Objective To investigate the effects of disease course on cognitive function and related risk factors in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods A total of 193 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the course of disease, the new diagnosis group, the group of the course of disease within 1 year, the group of the course of disease between 1-5 years and the group of the course of disease over 5 years. The general clinical features, biochemical indicators and neuropsychological test scores among the groups were compared.Results Age (P=0.024), treatment methods (P<0.001), and total cholesterol (P=0.037) were significantly different among the groups of different courses of disease. Logistic regression analysis using cognitive dysfunction as a dependent variable revealed that the course of diabetes (OR=1.205, 95%CI=1.128-1.286) and medical treatment (OR=2.931, 95%CI=1.067-8.053) was associated with cognitive dysfunction. Conclusion There is a cognitive dysfunction in the elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, and the course of diabetes is an important risk factor.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application and effect of computerized digital sur -gical assisted design and manufacture for reconstruction of mandibular defect with vascularied iliac crest flap graft .Methods CT was used to scan the craniofacial and maxillofacial region of mandibular ameloblastoma patient ,and then the 3D model of the maxillofacial skeleton was reconstructed using the computerized digital surgical aid design to simulate the focal resection and the mandibular defect reconstruction with the iliac crest flap .Surgical guides were prepared by 3D printing to assist focal re-section and bone reshaping .Postoperatively ,clinical and CT examinations were performed to observe the restoration of the patient's facial appearance and occlusal relationship ,as well as wound healing and graft survival .Results Postoperative review results showed that the bone graft survived well ,and the anastomosed bone was formed .The wound in the surgery area healed .No recurrence of the tumor was found after clinical and CT examination .The maxillofacial appearance was well restored ,and the re-sidual occlusal relationship recovered well .Conclusions The use of computerized digital surgical aided design combined with 3D printing technology can effectively simplify the mandibular segmental defect repair and reconstruction and optimize the postoperative repair effect .

Objective To observe the effect of risperidone on serum brain derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) in first-episode schizophrenic patients. Methods In the treatment group, 90 first-episode schizophrenics were treated with risperidone for 16 weeks, and the dose of risperidone was (3.79±0.88) mg·d-1. Serum BDNF levels were measured before treatment, at 2, 8, and 16 weeks after treatment. The severity of schizophrenia symptoms was assessed by the positive and negative symptom scale ( PANSS) before and after sixteen weeks of treatment. Serum BDNF concentrations were measured in 90 healthy controls. Results BDNF in the control group was (22.867±6.051) ng·mL-1. The serum BDNF levels before treatment and at the end of week 2, 8, 16 after the treatment in the treatment group were (14.256±4.096), (13.078±3.462), (18.001±5.753), (21.089± 6.692) ng·mL-1 , and the serum BDNF level was significantly lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.01) . After the treatment, the level of BDNF in the treatment group decreased at first and then increased, compared with that before treatment, the difference was significantly ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . The level of BDNF in the treatment group at the end of week 16 was not significantly different from that of the control group ( P>0.05) . After treatment, the total score of PANSS scale and its subscales decreased, the difference was significantly (P<0.01). At the end of week 16, the PANSS subscale reduction rate was positively correlated to the serum BDNF concentration change (r=0.499, P=0.001). The change rate of serum BDNF concentration at the end of week 16 was not correlated with the dose of risperidone (r=0.103, P=0.335). Conclusion BDNF is abnormal in the first episode of schizophrenia, which can be improved by risperidone treatment.
