Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture at points Baihui (GV20), Yintang (Ex-HN3) and Sishencong (Ex-HN1) on spatial learning and memory abilities and hippocampal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in a rat model of post-stroke depression (PSD). Method Thirty male adult SD rats were allocated, using a random number table, tocontrol, acupuncture and sham operation groups, 10 rats each. A rat model of PSD was made by classical middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using an intraluminal thread technique, chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and solitary feeding. At the fourteenth day after the beginning of stress, the acupuncture group received acupuncture intervention for 14 consecutive days. At one week after the end of stress, the Morris water maze test was conducted to assess rat spatial learning and memory abilities. After the completion of the water maze test, hippocampal CA3 regional BDNF expression was determined by immunohistochemical method. Result Rat learning and memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05). Space exploration time and the number of crossing platform reflecting memory abilities decreased significantly in the control group (22.36±6.20 s and 3.72±0.90 times, respectively) compared with the sham operation group (48.73±5.40 s and 8.60±1.10 times, respectively); there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Learning abilities, space exploration time, the number of crossing platform and BDNF expression increased significantly in PSD rats treated with acupuncture compared with the control group; there were statistically significant differences (P<0.01). Conclusion Acupuncture can improve spatial learning and memory abilities and raise hippocampal regional BDNF levels in rats with post-stroke depression.

Currently, histological and molecular methods are considered for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Single-agent epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase in-hibitors (ALK-TKIs) have been used as standard first-line therapies for patients with active EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement, re-spectively. However, to date, the single-agent EGFR-TKIs as the first-line therapy for patients with known EGFR mutations has been demonstrated to provide a prolonged progression-free survival but does not affect overall survival (OS). Physicians these days focus on improving the OS of patients with advanced NSCLC. To patients with EGFR mutation, combining and maintaining EGFR-TKIs with chemotherapy could be a promising approach. In this article, various ways of combining EGFR-TKIs with chemotherapy were explored.

Objective To study the anti-duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) action of limax polysaccharide. Methods 1-day old Beijing ducklings with congenital infection of DHBV were used as the animal model and were days. The expression of DHBV-DNA was detected by dot-blot hybridization test before treatment, five days and ten days after treatment. Results After medicated with Limax polysaccharide for five days and for ten days. The optic density value(OD value) of DHBV-DNA in ducklings serum were obviusly lower than that before treatment. There was significant difference between them. The inhibition rote of limax polysacchatide compared with the model group is markedly improved. Conclusion Limax polysaccharide can protect duck liver against inflammation by the inhibition of DHBV.

Levels of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins in 59 patients with cerebral infarction were compared before and after therapy. Evening—Primrose—oil group (EPOG 32cases) was treated with EPO and routine drugs (low molecular dextran, piracetam, vitamine E), the routine—drug group (RDG 27cases) was treated only with above- mentioned routine drugs. After treating for one month the lab data demonstrated that the(HDL—c, HDL2—c and apo A—I levels in EPOG were significantly higher than)before treating (P0.05). All parameters above- mentioned in RDG had no significant change after treating.

Objective To study the reproductive health status among unmarried floating females in Dongguan city. Methods A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the information about reproductive health among unmarried floating females in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics and department of dermatology and venerology of 5 general hospitals in Dongguan city. Results Premarital sexual behavior, gynecological diseases, sexually transmitted diseases were reported in 23.71%, 35.11% and 5.41% of 3509 young women. The prevalence of sexual behavior, vaginitis and cervicitis was significantly higher in senior group (>24 years old)than those in junior group (=24 years) (26.39% vs 21.16%; 21.25% vs 17.93%; 8.99% vs 6.85%), but the induced abortion rate in junior group was superior to that in senior group (32.50% vs 23.72%). The morbidity of vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease and menoxenia increased remarkably in the females with sexual behavior compared with those without sexual behavior (29.33% vs 16.51%; 7.21% vs 1.16%; 16.47% vs 1.53%). Conclusions There exists a high prevalence of premarital sexual behavior among the unmarried floating females in Dongguan city. Premarital sexual behavior reinforces the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and other genital disorders.

Objective To study the histopathological characteristics and the correlations between the cortical tissues from ictal discharge (ID) area and interictal epileptiform discharge (IED) area in epilepsy patients due to focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), in order to further discuss the mechanism of epileptogenicity. Methods Twenty-two subjects who underwent epilepsy surgeries consecutively in our institute since April 2005 to August 2006. All patients underwent intracranial electrode implantations and long-term video-EEG monitoring before the resective surgeries and the postoperative pathologies proved to be FCD. According the long-term EEG monitoring results, the cortex with intense IED and the cortex with ID onset were resected separatively in the operation for further histopathologic studies. Twenty cases were collected. Based on the Palimini' s pathologic subtype classification for FCD as well as quantificational scoring for immunocytochemistry for the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) which we designed by ourself, the specimens of IED and ID were studied and compared. Results The resected specimens from 20 cases were examed. ID specimens showed more severe abnormalities in the laminar cortical architecture, alterations in the morphology of neurons and in the appearance of abnormal balloon cells. With the PV quantificational scoring, we found significant difference between IED (6.4±2.1) and ID (4.4±1.8) from FCD Ⅱ specimens (P=0.042). No difference was found between ID subtypes (F=2.734, P=0.093 ). Conclusions ID cortical area showed more severe abnormalities in histopathologic changes than lED area. Our results suggested that the ID area of FCD had more severe damage in inhibitory synaptic circuits and neural networks, which meant it was more epileptogenic than IED. No difference was identified between each ID subtype in term of epileptogenicity, which meant all of them should be resected during the surgery.

BACKGROUND:The kidney tissues easily affected exercise ischemia reperfusion, increased free radicals and inflammation, resulted in abnormal renal function after acute exercise. OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of Blackcurrant Extract on the structure of kidney and expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and nuclear factor-κB at 24 hours after exhaustiveexercise. METHODS:A total of 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=10). Rats in the Blackcurrant Extract group were intragastricaly administered 0.44 g/kg Blackcurrant Extract. Rats in the quietness control group and 24-hour exhaustive exercise group were intragastricaly given an equal volume of distiled water for 6 consecutive weeks. Rats in the 24-hour exhaustive exercise group and Blackcurrant Extract group received no swimming motion until exhaustion fatigue after final intragastric administration. Twenty-four hours later, samples were obtained. Kidney tissue morphology and ultrastructure were observed by electron microscopy and light microscopy. Protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-α and nuclear factor-κB was detected using immunohistochemistry. Tumor necrosis factor-αmRNA and nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression was detected using RT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the quietness control group, tumor necrosis factor-α protein and nuclear factor-κB protein expression in the kidney was higher in the 24-hour exhaustive exercise group, and tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA and nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression was significantly increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the 24-hour exhaustive exercise group, tumor necrosis factor-α protein and nuclear factor-κB protein expression was lower in the Blackcurrant Extract group, and nuclear factor-κB mRNA expression was significantly decreased (P < 0.05); tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA expression was significantly reduced (P < 0.01). Kidney in the 24-hour exhaustive exercise group showed obvious morphological changes and ultrastructural damage. The structure of the kidney in the Blackcurrant Extract group tended to be normal. Results suggested that Blackcurrant Extract can repair the kidney tissue injury, reduce the expression of inflammatory factors, and prevent inflammatory damage in the kidney at 24 hours after exhaustive exercise.
