Cerebral vasospasm is the main reasons of cerebral infarction and delayed ischemic neurological deficit in patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. At present, the research of cerebral vasospasm is relatively focused on the spasmogens in bloody cerebro-spinal fluid. This article reviews the mechanisms of cerebral vasospasm induced by the major spasmogens in the bloody cerebrospinal fluid after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the effect of intermedin (IMD) on tubular cells apoptosis induced by renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its associated mechanism.Methods A total of twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups (control group, I/R group, empty plasmid group and IMD group). One week after the removal of right kidney, ultrasound plasmid was used to transfect empty or IMD plasmid into the left kidney. Renal I/R model was made by clasping the left renal artery for 45 minutes. Tubular cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL. Expression of Bax, Bcl-2, Fas was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Activity of caspase-8 and caspase-9 was evaluated with commercially available kits respectively.Protein level of caspase-3 was measured by Western blotting analysis. Results Compared with control group, apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells, expression of Bax and Fas, activities of caspase-8 and caspase-9, as well as protein level of caspase-3 were all significantly increased in I/R group (all P＜0.05). IMD pre-treatment significantly inhibited all these effects (all P＜0.05). There were no differences of above parameters between empty plasmid group and I/R group. Conclusion IMD pre-treatment protects against renal I/R injury by inhibion of tubular epithelial cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the differences in behavior of anxiety individuals and the normal control under different feedback (positive feedback,negative feedback).Methods 400 university students were investigated using self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and state anxiety inventory (SAI) and the data were analyzed with balloon analogue risk task.Results The score of anxiety group(24.28±6.12) was significantly lower (t=-2.25,P＜0.05) than that of control group(29.80±7.26) in the number of busting balloons.But in the number of busting balloons of positive and negative feedback condition,scores of anxiety group and control group were not significantly different(t=-1.82,P＞0.05;t=-1.78,P＞0.05).Conclusions Influence of anxiety on decision-making often manifests as risk aversion.

Objective To investigate the value of theory-practice integrated in the course of medical imaging diagnosis. Methods The teaching method of bone and joint system was adjusted based on theory-practice integration. 212 students of department of medical imaging were divided into group A (95 students, Grade 2009) and group B (117 students, Grade 2010). The traditional teaching method was adopted in group A, and the theory-practice integrated teaching method was adopted in group B. The teaching effect was evaluated by the exam results(theory and experimentation) and ques-tionnaire. SPSS 13.0 software was used and the measurement date were expressed by x±s. Statistical analysis was performed using t test, with the level of test α=0.05. Results The results of theoretical exam (P=0.024),practical exam (P=0.017) and questionnaire of group B was higher than group A (P=0.00). Conclusions LBL、CBL、TBL integrated teaching method is better than traditional teaching method, especially in improving the students' ability of linking up theory with practice, learning initia-tive, teamwork.
