Objective To analyze the characteristic of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) evoked by chirp in normal hearing subjects .Methods Fifteen cases (30 ears) with normal hearing young people were recorded ABR by stimulation with two kinds of sounds :chirp and click .The data were compared .Results The response threshold of chirp-ABR were lower than that of click -ABR .The average difference was 8 .59 dB .At 90 dB nHL ,the wave V amplitude yield no significant difference between chirp -ABR and click-ABR .The wave V amplitude had a signifi-cant difference between chirp -ABR and click-ABR at 60 dB nHL .At 90 and 60 dB nHL ,the wave V amplitude of chirp-ABR had not a significant difference .The occurence rate was 40% for the wave I of chirp -ABR ,obvi-ously less than that of click -ABR .At 90 dB nHL ,the wave V latency of chirp -ABR was shorter than that of click-ABR .Conclusion The wave V response threshold of chirp -ABR is less than that of the click -ABR .The chirp-ABR is more advantageous than the click -ABR for assessing hearing threshold .

To compare the anxiolytic effects of reduced metabolite of progesterone and benzodiazepine.Methods　The effects of allopregnanolone and diazepam on spontaneous locomotor activity and on exploration in the elevated plus-maze were studied in C57 mice 20 min after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results Allopregnanolone (0.1 mg.kg-1,ip) elicited marked anxiolytic effects in terms of significantly reducing the latency to enter the open arm from (31.30±8.39)s to (8.80±6.00)s,(P<0.001),and significantly increasing both the number of open arm entries from 1.20 ± 0.42 to 4.80 ±1.75,(P<0.001) and the proportion of total time spent on the open arm from 7.13％ to 32.50％,(P<0.001).Meanwhile,the diazepam (0.25 mg·kg-1) produced a lower anxiolytic effect comparing to that of the allopregnanolone.Analysis of spontaneous locomotor activity showed while 0.5 mg·kg-1 of diazepam decreased the locomotor activity (P<0.01),neither 0.1 mg·kg-1 of allopregnanolone nor 0.25 mg·kg-1 of diazepam affect the locomotor activity score.Conclusion Together,these results provide evidence for differential behavioral actions of the neurosteroids and benzodiazepines.Since the allopregnanolone produce a selective anxiolytic effect without affecting the spontaneous locomotor activity,the allopregnanolone may be a better alternative for diazepam in treating anxiety.

Results Allopregnanolone (0.1 mg?kg-1, ip) elicited marked anxiolytic effects in terms of significantly reducing the latency to enter the open arm from (31.30?8.39)s to (8.80?6.00)s, (P

The effect of bunolol on ?-adrenergic receptor of various tissues of animals were reported. The results showed that cumulative dose-response curves of isoprenaline were shifted paratlely to the right by bunolol ( 10-8, 10-7, 10-6mol/L ) on isolated rabbit atrium and guinea pig trachea preparation utilizing isoprenaline as a beta-receptor agonist. In the isolated rabbit right atrium preparation,the pA2 value of bunolol antagonizing the chronotropic action of isoprenaline was 9.3. In the isolated guinea-pig trachea preparation,the pA2 value of bunolol antagonizing the isoprenaline-induced relaxation was 9.1. By contrast, the 〔pA2 ( ?1 )- pA2 ( ?2 ) 〕 value of bunolol was 0.2, suggesting its ?-blocking action in the atrium being nearly 0,6 times more than that in the trachea. Also, comparison with pfopranolol, the blocking effect of bunolol on cardiac ?1 receptor and on trachea ?2 receptor were 4 times and 1.6 times more than that of propranolol respectively.Bunolol ( 1 mg/kg ) could, block completely the vasodilating response of epinephrine ( 10?gAg ) . At the same dosage, bunolol had no effect on blood pressure and heart rate of prior reserpini-sation rats.

Objective To investigate the role of circulating neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) levels in the postoperative formation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Circulating NET levels were measured preoperatively and on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7 in 30 patients diagnosed with DVT by venography after TKA and 30 controls from May 2014 to July 2015. Results In patients with DVT, the mean circulating NET levels were significantly higher on postoperative days 1 and 3 compared with those in the non?DVT group (postoperative day 1, 1.598 ± 0.067 vs. 1.212 ± 0.037, t=7.514, P=0.000;postoperative day 3, 1.305±0.044 vs. 1.167±0.032, t=2.675, P=0.015). ROC curve analysis revealed the inferior sensitivity and specificity of NET levels on postoperative day 3 compared with postoperative day 1. Area under the curve (AUC) postoperative day 1 was 0.828 (95%CI:0.722, 0.933, P=0.000);AUC postoperative day 3 was 0.677 (95%CI:0.541, 0.814, P=0.018). The cutoff point for NET levels on postoperative day 1 was 1.294, with a sensitivity of 80%, a specificity of 80%, a posi?tive predictive value of 80%, and a negative predictive value of 80%. After Logistic regression, the NET level on postoperative day 1 was considered an independent predictor of DVT (OR:24.08, 95%CI:4.94, 117.28, P=0.000). Conclusion High circulating NET levels are associated with DVT in patients who undergo TKA. NETs may serve as a potential biological marker to delineate patients undergoing TKA who are most at risk for DVT.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide plays an important role in bone metabolism. However, the effects of different doses of L-arginine, nitric oxide substrate, on the healing of osteoporotic fractures remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of different doses of L-arginine on the healing of osteoporotic fractures and blood biochemistry in rats. METHODS: A total of 50 female Wistar rats, aged 6-month-old, were randomly divided into sham-surgery (n=10) and osteoporosis (bilateral ovariectomy, n=40). After osteoporosis model was established, left middle femoral fractures were made in al 50 rats, and the osteoporosis group was further divided into four groups, low, middle and high dose of L-arginine, and control groups. The L-arginine groups were intraperitoneal y injected with 1, 3, and 5 mg/kg L-arginine at the second day fol owing surgery, while the control and sham-surgery groups were injected with the same volume of normal saline. At 8 weeks, the lumbar and cal us bone mineral density, serum nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase were detected. Meanwhile, the bone cal us histological examination was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: During fracture healing, osteoporosis rats showed a low level of serum nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase compared with normal fractured rats (P < 0.05). L-arginine can improve the concentration of serum nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase in osteoporosis rats. Moreover, middle dose of L-arginine can increase the cal us and lumbar spine bone mineral density of osteoporosis rats, so the number and continuity of bone trabecula were enhanced. These findings suggest that middle dose of L-arginine (3 mg/kg) can promote healing process of osteoporotic fractures and improve osteoporosis.

Objective To explore the association between family function and self-esteem in college students.Methods Totally 2560 college students were sampled.They were assessed with the self-compiled questionnaire on family information,Rosenberg' s self-esteem scale (SES) and family assessment device (FAD).Results The students from only-child family (30.32±4.19) scored higher on SES than students with siblings (29.54±3.97).The students with experience of grandparents raising (29.84±4.19) scored lower on SES than students raised by parents (30.29±4.13).Students from harmonious family and with monthly incoming above 10000 Yuan scored higher on SES than other groups.All the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.01,P＜0.05).There was significant correlation between SES and all of the dimensions of FAD (r=-0.260-0.379,P=0.000).Multiple regression showed that such dimensions of FAD as role,communication,behavior control,problem solving and general functioning,as well as social economic status of the family played important role on self-esteem of the students(β=0.039-0.169,P＜0.01 orP＜0.05).Conclusion Family factors have significant impact on self-esteem of the college students,especially family role and communication which are important positive predictors on self-esteem of college students.
