Objective To investigate the effect of intravenously transplanted bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) on brain injury and inflammation after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH) in rats.Methods Experimnental ICH models were performed by stereotaxic injection collagenase Ⅳ into caudate putamen,rats that underwent ICH were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group,ICH group,PBS group,BMMNC-treated group.The BMMNCs were injected intravenously into rats after ICH.The neurobehavioral function was evaluated on days 1,3,7,14 by the modified neurological severity score,and the brain edema was examined by wet-dry weighting method on day 3 after cell transplantation.Immumofluorecence staining was used to identify the number of activation of microglia and infiltration of neutrophils in the brain after ICH.Results The neurological score in BMMNCtreated group on days 7,14 was significantly improved compared with those in ICH group and PBS group(P<O.05).Compared to the ICH group ((81.09 ± 0.83) %) and PBS group ((80.99 ± 0.79) %),there was a significant decreasc in thc brain water content in BMMNC-treated group((78.62±0.97) %) (P<0.05).The number of activation of microglia and infiltration of neutrophils were both significantly lower in BMMNC-treated group ((55.8±22.1)/mm2,(49.6± 12.9)/mm2) compared to ICH group and PBS group (respectively (125.0 ± 20.7) /mm2,(86.8±13.6/mm2))(P<0.01).Conclusion Administration of BMMNCs can significantly reduce edema and improve neurologic function by inhibiting the activation of microglia and infiltration of neutrophils.

Objective:To investigate the episodic future thinking in patients with schizophrenia from three per-spectives including the specificity,emotional valence,and content.Methods:Totally 25 patients with schizophrenia who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder,Fourth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ)criteria and 25 healthy controls matched with gender,age,and years of education participated in this study.The Sentence Completion for E-vents in the Future Test (SCEFT)was used to test episodic future thinking.Results:Schizophrenia patients showed deficits in episodic future thinking[(0.13 ±0.10)vs.(0.31 ±0.12),P <0.01].They had problems in imaging the specific events even after controlling for working memory and verbal memory [F(1,54)=6.60,P <0.05].More-over,they generated less positive events compared with the healthy controls [(0.36 ±0.20)vs.(0.48 ±0.16),P <0.01].As to the content,schizophrenia patients generated more events about hospitalization [0 (0,0.64)vs.0,P <0.01],more events that were unclassifiable [0.36 (0.09,0.64)vs.0.09 (0,0.36),P <0.01],and less events re-lated with personal career [0 (0,0.27)vs.0.18 (0,0.45),P <0.01].Conclusion:It suggests that schizophrenia patients show deficits in episodic future thinking.They have problems in imaging the specific events,and they have more negative thinking.

Objective:
To analyze the etiological characteristics of an outbreak of Campylobacter foodborne disease in a middle school in Suzhou City, so as to provide insights into the identification of pathogenic factors of Campylobacter foodborne disease outbreaks.
Methods:
Eighteen anal swabs from patients, 10 anal swabs from canteen workers, 43 food samples, 2 drinking water samples, 2 food original material samples and 31 environmental samples were collected, and the pathogens were rapidly screened using the gastrointestinal infection detection strip. The pathogens were isolated and cultured using the double-pore filtration membrane method, and cluster analysis of bacterial isolates was performed using pulsed field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ). In addition, the susceptibility of Campylobacter isolates to antibiotics was tested using the Campylobacter agar dilution method.
Results:
A total of 63 cases with Campylobacter infections were reported, and the major clinical symptoms included diarrhea ( 51 cases, 80.95% ) and fever ( 39 cases, 61.90% ), while no inpatients or deaths were found. Twelve Campylobacter-positive samples were detected, including 11 anal swabs sampled from patients and one food original material sample. Among the 11 positive anal swabs, there were 10 samples positive for Campylobacter jejuni and one sample positive for C. coli, and of the one positive food original material, C. coli was identified. PFGE analysis showed that 10 C. jejuni isolates of had 100.0% homology, and these 10 isolates were 100.0% resistant to naphthyridic acid, ciprofloxacin and tetracycline, appearing multidrug resistance.
Conclusions
This is an outbreak of foodborne disease caused by C. jejuni infections. Gastrointestinal infection detection strips, double-pore filtration membrane and PFGE typing are rapid and accurate to identify pathogenic factors.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and severity degree of post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD), anxiety and depression, and to explore the different mental profile in different groups involved with an earthquake. Methods 26 days after 8.0 grade earthquake in Wenchuan, psychological rescue team of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine went to some communities in Deyang and Mianzhu area of Sichuan province. In this period, a total of 119 survivors, including students(42), teacher(40) and masses(37), were investigated through impact of event scale (IES), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS). Results①The detection rate of score over 19 in IES in 3 groups (students, teacher and masses) were 69%, 80% and 91.9%, respectively. There was significant difference among these 3 groups (F=5.611, P=0.005<0.01) in respect of severity degree of PTSD. ②The values of severity degree of anxiety in 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.001, all). There was also significant difference among these 3 groups (F=3.376, P=0.038<0.05) in respect of severity degree of anxiety, with the masses group being significant higher than student and teacher group (P=0.029, P=0.022, respectively). ③The values of severity degree of depression in these 3 groups were significant higher than normal value (P<0.05, all). But there was no significant difference (F= 0.670, P=0.514) among these 3 groups. ConclusionThe results suggested the importance to assess PTSD, anxiety and depression in post-disaster area, especially PTSD and anxiety evaluations in the masses group.
