Objective To explore the long-term effects of bubble baths on seizure-induced neurobehavior deficits and the expression of apoptotic/autophagic marker B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 ( Bcl-2 ),Beclin-1,and plasticity-related gene-1 ( PRG-1 ) in newborn rats. MethodsSixty rats aged 6 days were randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group (CON),a control hydrotherapy group (HCON),a recurrent-seizure group (RS) and a recurrent-seizure hydrotherapy group (HRS),with 15 in each group.Flurothyl was used to induce 30 min of seizures daily for 6 consecutive days in the RS and HRS groups.Rats in the CON and HCON groups were placed in the same container for equal duration without exposure to flurothyl.Rats in the HCON and HRS groups were given bubble baths for 28 consecutive days after the end of the last seizure.Neurobehavioral damage was observed using open field behavior at postnatal day 26 (P26) and Morris water maze performance at postnatal day 43 to 49 (P43-P49) and a single-blind method.PRG-1,Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 protein levels in the hippocampus were detected by Western blotting at postnatal day 50 (P50). Results①The average open field test scores of the RS rats decreased significantly compared with those of the CON and HRS rats at P26.②In the Morris water maze test the average latencies of all rats decreased gradually from the 1st to 5th days (d1 to d5) after establishment of seizure model.The average escape latency was significantly longer for rats of the RS group than for CON group rats at the 4th and 5th days ( d4 and d5 ) after establishment of seizure model.The escape latency was significantly shorter for rats of the HRS group than for RS group rats at d4.③The level of Bcl-2 protein in the hippocampus was much lower in the RS group than in the HRS and control groups.In addition,the expression of PRG-1 in the RS group was significantly higher than in the CON group. ConclusionsRecurrent prolonged seizures cause long-term neurobehavior deficits,which might be associated with the down-regulated expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated expression of PRG-1 in the hippocampus.Bubble baths can improve the neurobehavioral sequelae from seizures,perhaps through up-regulation of hippocampal Bcl-2 expression.

ObjectiveTo explore the intervention effect and the underlying molecular mechanism of 3-Methyladenine on behavioral damage of neonatal rat with prolonged seizures. MethodsForty-five 6-dayold SD rats were randomly ( random number) divided into the recurrent prolonged neonatal seizure group ( RS group), the 3-MA-treated seizure group and control group. The volatile agent flurothyl was used to induce 30 min seizure attack. At postnatal day 6 (P6), recurrent seizures were induced once daily for successive 6 days in both RS group and 3-MA group. In 3-MA group, 3-MA (2 μL) was injected daily before seizures induced.Neural-behavior changes were observed with double-blind method including swimming development, open field test and Morris water maze analysis. Bcl-2 and Beclinl protein levels in hippocampus were detected by western blot method at P50. ResultsThe total scores of swimming behavior in RS rats were decreased significantly compared with those of control and 3-MA rats ( control: 7. 44 ±1. 13, RS: 5.06±1.63, 3-MA: 7.33 ±1.08, F=16.19, P＜0. 01) . The start-latency time of open filed behavior in RS rats ( 13. 33 ±6. 69) were increased significantly compared with that of control (7. 11 ±2. 37) and 3-MA rats (9. 91 ±4. 23) (F=4. 39, P＜0. 05). The escape latency was significantly longer in rats of RS group than that of control and 3-MA rats on the 4th and 5th days (P ＜ 0.05). The level of Bcl-2 in hippocampus of RS group (0. 587 +0. 139) were significantly lower than that of control (0. 782 +0. 083) and 3-MA groups (0. 799 + 0. 163) (F =4. 7 1, P ＜ 0. 05 ). There were no significant differences in the level of Beclin1 protein in hippocampus among the three groups ( F =0. 27, P ＞ 0. 05 ).Conclusions Pretreatment with autophagy inhibitor 3-MA in acute phase of neonatal seizures could significantly improve neurobehavioral capacity, which might be associated with the increased in the level of Bcl-2 protein in hippocampus.

ObjectiveTo explore the potentiality of protection by bubble bath hydrotherapy to brain damage of neonatal rats with recurrent seizures.MethodsSixty Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into control group ( CON),control hydrotherapy group ( HCON ),recurrent-seizure group (RS) and recurrent-seizure hydrotherapy group (HRS).Each group had 15 rats.The volatile agent flurothyl was used to induce 30 min seizure attack.At postnatal day 6 (P6),recurrent seizures were induced once per day for consecutive 6 days in the RS group and HRS group.Rats in the CON and HCON group were placed into the container for same time as their counterpart without exposure to flurothyl.In HCON and HRS groups,Bubble bath hydrotherapy intervention was used after the end of the last seizure for 28 consecutive days.Inspections were made for maturation of physical characteristics,neural behavior.PRG-1 and Bcl-2 protein level in cerebral cortex were detected by western blot method at P50.Results1.Maturation of physical characteristics:body weights of the rats in the RS group were decreased significantly (P＜0.05).Body weights of HRS rats were significantly increased than that of RS rats(P＜0.05 ).There were no significant difference of physiological development phenomenon among the five groups (P ＞0.05 ).2.There was high nerve excitation in hydrotherapy group ( At P26,the scores of OFT respectively were 45.78 ± 18.31 for CON,59.78 ± 25.61 for HCON,27.78 ± 16.83 for RS and 53.15 ± 22.43 for HRS,P ＜ 0.01 ).3.The expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex of RS group were significantly higher than that of CON group (1.149 ±0.191 for RS,0.910 ±0.162 for CON,P＜ 0.05 ).The level of Bcl-2 in cerebral cortex of RS group ( 1.149 ±0.191 ) were significantly lower than that of CON group( 1.259 ±0.157) (P＜0.05 ),the level of Bcl-2in cerebral cortex of HRS group( 1.572 ± 0.333 ) were significantly higher than that of RS group(P＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionMaturation of physical characteristics and neurobehavioral were damages following recurrent neonatal seizures,which may be associated with significantly increased level of PRG-1 protein and decreased level of Bcl-2protein in cerebral cortex.The early intervention by Bubble bath hydrotherapy can play a positive role on developmental rehabilitation.

Objective To compare the effects of hypothermic arrest circulation ( HAC) with moderate or deep hypothermic antegrade selective cerebral perfusion ( ASCP) technique in patients with DeBake type Ⅰ aortic dissection or aortic arch aneurysm undergoing total aortic arch replacement. Methods Between Feb. 2007 and Aug. 2009, 60 patients who underwent aortic arch replacement using HAC + SCP technique. Patients were divided into two groups according to the lowest nasopharyngeal temperature: moderate hypothermia (18 - 20℃) (group MH, n = 28), and deep hypothermia (23 -25 ℃) (group DH,n=32). The clinical and neurological outcomes were observed. Results The overall in-hospital mortality was 3. 33% (2/60) ; In-hospital mortality was 3. 6% in the MH group, while3.1% in the DH group. There were no significant differences regarding to preoperative the patients' character parameters in both groups. At the beginning of ASCP, the nasopharyngeal and rectal temperatures were significantly higher in group MH[MH group (23.8 ± 1. 9 ) ℃ ( 26. 6 ± 2. 4 ) ℃ vs. DH group group (29.4 ±9.3) min vs. DH group(32.9 ± 13.4) min]. The rewarming time and CPB time were significantly shorter in MH group[(65.0±13.9) min vs. (90.3 ±27.2) min; (142.8 ±34.2) min vs. (194.1 ±42.0) min, P <0. 05]. Temporary neurologic deficits occurred in four patients (6. 67% ) without significant differences between two groups ( MH group 7.14% vs. DH group 6. 25% ). No patient suffered from permanent neurologic dysfunction. There were no significant differences between two groups in other parameters including intubation time, kidney insufficiency, the stay times in ICU and hospital. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that moderate HCA + ASCP technique is a safe strategy for the treatment of patients who require conventional total arch replacement with individual arch-vessel reconstruction. Shorter CPB time in patients with moderate HCA + ASCP did not increase any other postoperative adverse effects.

Objective To evaluate the association between cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection and atherosclerosis (AS) and explore the possible role of endothelin (ET) and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF ?) in the pathogenesis of AS in diabetic patients and the relationship between HCMV infection and concentrations of ET and TNF ?. Methods Blood samples were collected from 21 patients with AS of type 2 DM, 47 patients with non AS of type 2 DM and 20 controls. Special antibodies to HCMV (IgM,IgG) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . The concentrations of serum TNF ? and plasma ET were determined by RIA. Results (1) Type 2 diabetic patients, especially those with established AS, had a higher prevalence of active infection of HCMV. (2) The levels of plasma ET and serum TNF ? in type 2 diabetic patients were higher than those in normal people. In the pathogenesis of AS in diabetic patients, the ET played more important role than the TNF ?.(3) There was a significantly positive correlation between anti IgM to HCMV and the level of plasma ET in type 2 DM patients. It suggested that the injury of endothelium cell was related to the active infection of HCMV. Conclusion The study suggests that HCMV infection may be important in the pathogenesis of AS in type 2 diabetic patients and ET possibly plays an important role on the pathological course of AS.

Objective To explose the experimental basis of microchemoembolism therapy on colon carcinoma. Methods 12 dogs were randomly divided into two groups. Performing inferior mesenteric arterial and portal vein catheterization. Simple contrast medium and the contrast medium mixed with CH 44 (?10～20?m) for the angiograms were analysed under DSA. The concentration of 5 Fu in the protal vein were measured with Liquid Chromatography and in recorded diagramatic curve. The half life times of 5 Fu after simple arterial infusion chemotherapy or after microchemoembolism therapy were calculated and analyzed with t test(in Microsoft Excel 97). 5 minutes and 3 hours after the microchemoembolism therapy, embolized colonic segment were taken and observed under optic and transmission electron microscopy. Two weeks later, autopsy was performed. Results The opacificotion time of simple contrast medium after injection was 6.25?1.50 seconds. The arteries looked smooth. The vessels oppeared to show spasm and tortuous after perfusion of the same amount of contrast medium mixed with CH 44 particles associated with narrowing of te bronches the opacification time was 930?192 seconds, which was conspicuously dramatically different from the simple contrast medium. In the simple contrast medium group, the initial concentration of 5 Fu in the portal vein was rather high, then it attenuated rapidly. The mean half life time was 12.36?5.25 min. In the microchemoembolism therapy group, the initial concentration of 5 Fu was relatively lower. After injection, it increased for a little while and then decreased slowly. The mean half life time was 47.37?14.02 min, which was conspicuously different from that of the simple contrast medium group( P
