1.Advance in Cerebral Ischemic Model with Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion in Rats(review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(11):939-940
The middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) in rats remained a focus cerebral ischemic model that is non-incisioned,reliable,as well as the ischemic and refusion time can be controlled,which is widely used since it was created.However,because it is needed complex operations,associatied with many factors,it is difficult to establish.Many scholars have modified the operation,shape of the occlusion line,as well as the variety,narcotic drugs and so on.

Objective To explore the effects of rosiglitazone on the expression of TNF-? in visceral adipose tissue of insulin-resistant rats induced by high-glucose diet. Methods Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were fed with high-glucose diet for 6 months to reproduce the non-obesity insulin-resistant rat model (abbreviated as IR rats). The model rats were then randomized into insulin resistan (IR) group and rosiglitazone (ROS) group (10 each). Ten rats fed with normal diet were enrolled as controls (CN group). Rats in ROS group were administered with 10?mol/(kg?d) of rosiglitazone for 6 weeks from the 7th week of experiment,and those in CN and IR groups were administered with same amount of distilled water. At the 6th and 12th week,the systolic pressure,body weight,and biochemical parameters (fasting and 2-hour post-glucose load plasma glucose,insulin,free fatty acid,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein cholesterol) were measured,and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) was calculated. At the end of the 12th week,the visceral adipose tissue was collected to calculate the ratio of visceral fat to body weight (VF/BW),and to determine the protein and mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) with inmmunohistochemical assay and RT-PCR. Results As compared with CN group,the systolic pressure,HOMA-IR,plasma insulin,triglyceride and free fatty acid increased,whereas high density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased (P0.05). Inmmunohistochemical examination showed positive expression of TNF-? in intercellular substance,but not in visceral adipocytes. The expressions of TNF-? protein and mRNA in visceral adipose tissue were dramatically higher in IR group than in CN and ROS groups (P0.05). Conclusion Rosiglitazone may significantly abate insulin resistance,reduce the abnormality of plasma lipid and blood pressure,and inhibit the over expression of TNF-? in visceral adipose tissue in the non-obesity insulin-resistant rats induced by high-glucose diet.

Objective To explore the effect of a training based on instructional video modeling designed from the mirror neuron theory on executive dysfunction after stroke. Methods 40 stroke inpatients with executive dysfunction from July, 2014 to July, 2015 were divided into control group (n=20) and observation group (n=20). The control group accepted executive rehabilitation training, while the observation group were asked to see the video of executive rehabilitation task before training. They were assessed with Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) before and after intervention. Results The total score and scores of subtests except Rule Shift Cards and Key Search increased more in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.9, P<0.05). Conclusion Rehabilitation video as a visual stimulus for exercise training based on the mirror neuron theory could improve executive function recovery of stroke patients with executive dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the significance of non - concentrated proteinuria electrophroresis in early diagnosis of type 1 diabetic nephropathy(DN). Methods A total of 47 selected patients with type 1 diabetes and 30 healthy controls were recruited in the study. Fourty seven patients were divided into diabetes mellitus(DM) group and DN group based on the rate of urinary excretion of albumin. Sodium dodcyl sulfate - agarose gel electrophoresis(SDS - AGE) was used to analyze the proteinuria in patients and controls group. Results The positive ratio of urinary albumin SDS - AGE was significantly higher in DN group than in DM group and normal control(group P

Objective To investigate the teaching effects for students of seven-year program.Method Symposiums were hold among 3 batches for seven-years program and questionnaire collected.Results We need to further modify the curriculum and improve clinical teaching skills,and students also need to have more research ideas.Conclusion We should modify current teaching content,curriculum,and skills.Clinical skills and humanization management should be highlighted.This is the key to ensure that teaching effects and teaching quality can be improved effectively.

A myxobacterial strain, So ce cpu-1, was isolated from a soil sample near the Huanghai beach. So ce cpu-1 had broad antimicrobial activity, active component has maxima] absorption at 210 nm. The effects of different culture conditions on the yield of the secondary metabolites were investigated. The results showed that, when cultivating the strain in the M, medium (containing 10% w/v D312 neutral absorber resin ), the air up to 70% of the whole flask volume, adding 5?L the secondary metabolites as the revulsant, at 30℃, 200r/min, for 6 days, the yield of the secondary metabolites achieved the maximum.

AIM: To evaluate the physiologic change of retinal thickness during pregnancy.
METHODS:Forty cases ( 80 eyes ) were included two groups:40 eyes ( 20 cases ) in healthy pregnant women group (including in the second and last trimester), and 40 eyes (20 cases) in healthy nonpregnant women group ( control group ) . The macular volume, average thickness, central subfield thickness and retinal thickness of other parafoveal areas were measured by optical coherence tomography scan.
RESULTS: The macular volume was 10. 06±0. 41mm3 and 9. 87±0. 30mm3 in healthy pregnant women group and control group respectively. The average thickness was 279. 43±10. 86μm and 274. 25±8. 07μm in healthy pregnant women group and control group respectively. The central subfield thickness was 235. 15±15. 05μm and 233. 00±15. 81μm in healthy pregnant women group and control group espectively. Statistically significant difference was found in macular volume and average thickness (P<0. 05). The retinal thickness of 8 parafoveal areas in healthy pregnant women group increased comparing with control group, but statistical significance was only found in superior-outer area and inferior-outer area(P<0. 05). OCT images of all cases were normal.
CONCLUSION:The macular retinal thickness increases during pregnancy in the second and last trimester. The physiologic change of retinal thickness should be considered when evaluating pathologic retinal disease of pregnant women.

Objective To identify the factors those regulate CCCP-induced non-canonical autophagy.Methods Different cells expressing GFP-LC3 were treated with or without CCCP (30μM) for 6 h.Fluorescent images were taken and cell lysates were analyzed by western blot assay.Real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA levels of LC3B.FIP200-KO MEF cells were cultured and treated by 30 μM CCCP with or without water channel inhibitors, for 6 h.Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blot assay.Results CCCP could not induced autophagy in Atg5-KO MEF cells.CCCP could induce non-canonical autophagy in ULK1-KO MEF, FIP200-KO MEF, and Beclin1-KD U251.CCCP treatment in FIP200-KO MEF cells had no effect on the expression level of LC3B mRNA.We also found two distinct aquaporin water channel inhibitors could inhibit the generation of LC3 which was induced by CCCP.Conclusion CCCP induced non-canonical autophagy was Atg5-dependent, but Beclin1-, ULK1-and FIP200-independent.Osmotic imbalance could regulate CCCP-induce non-canonical autophagy.
