Objective To analyze the current situation of institutional care for people with disabilities in Shanghai, China. Methods Sec-ondary data were collected from the synthetical information platform of Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation, including data about the res-idential institutions and people with disabilities living in the institutions from 2004 to 2015. Results The number of residential institutions and people with disabilities showed an increasing tendency from 2004 to 2015. At the end of 2015, there was 368 residential institutions in Shanghai, providing institutional care for 5821 people with disabilities. People in the institutions were mainly with intelligence disability and mental disability, and mainly in 35 to 59 years old. Conclusion The institutional care for people with disabilities was generally in a good condition in Shanghai and met people's needs.

BACKGROUND: Cholinergic system projected in brain and hippocampal structure is relevant with learning and memory. Piracetam acts on protecting and repairing cerebral neural cell, resisting cerebral functional injury due to physical and chemical factors and improving learning-memory capacity.OBJECTIVE: Chronic epilepsy in childhood animal and learning-memory complex animal model were self-prepared to observe the changes in content of acetylcholine and activity of cholinacetyltranslase in cerebral hippocampus and the intervention of piracetam.DESIGN: Randomized control experiment and non-blind evaluation were designed.SETTING: Department of Pediatrics of Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University and Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hebei Medical UniversityMATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Hebei Medical University and College of Life Sciences of Hebei Normal University from July to December 2004, in which, 50 Wistar childhood rats of clean grade and either sex were employed.METHODS: Coriamyrthin injection was administrated muscularly to duplicated chronic epileptic grand mal model in rats. Muscular injection was repeated once every three days. During modeling, those with general paroxysmal convulsion with posterior extremities standing or falling with standing or general stiffness-paroxysmal attack continuously for 3 times, the injection was changed to be once every 14 days. Ten rats were selected to be in normal control without modeling. The rest 40 rats after 3 months of modeling were randomized into 4 groups, named piracetam of 2.4 g/'L group (Group A), piracetam of 4.8 g/L group (Group B), dilantin 6 g/L +piracetam 4.8 g/L group (Group C) and model group (Group D), 10 rats in each. In each group, gastric infusion was performed continuously in 3 months after modeling, once per day, 10 mL/kg. In Group A and Group B,piracetam mixed solution of 2.4 g/L and 4.8 g/L was administrated for infusion respectively. In Group C, dilantin 6 g/L and piracetam 4.8 g/L were infused. In group D and the control group, normal saline 10 mL/kg was administrated. Relevant index determination was done 1 month after medication. Morris water maze test was performed to discover platform time and searching distance of epileptic rats, continuously for 3 days, twice per day. After test, the rats were sacrificed to collect brains to determine the content of acetylcholine in bilateral hippocampus. The activities of cholinacetyltranslase and acetylcholinesterase were determined with radioimmunity method.of acetylcholine in bilateral hippocampus and the activities of cholinacetyltranslase and acetylcholinesterase of rats in each group.ing platform time of rats in every group: the corresponding average searching time in Group D was increased compared with the control group [(63±11) s, (40±8) s; (61±9) s, (38±7) s; (57±8) s, (36±9) s; (55±11) s,(33±10) s; (52±7) s, (30±9) s; (49±9) s, (27±6) s, P < 0.01]. In Group C and Group B, the searching time of 6 tests was decreased of various degrees compared with Group D [(44±9) s, (45±9) s;(43±9) s, (42±8) s; (42±7) s,(42±7) s; (40±9) s, (39±9) s; (38±7) s, (35±9) s; (35±6) s, (34±8) s,t=2.352-4.029, P < 0.05-0.01]. In every medication group, the average searching time was decreased gradually by the increased frequency of erage searching distance in Group D was remarkably increased compared with the control [(793±74) cm, (420±81) cm;(763±89) cm, (418±57) cm;(690±67) cm, (382±69) cm; (623±81) cm, (356±71) cm;(592±98) cm,(330±69) cm;(550±54) cm,(301±97) cm,P< 0.01]. In Group C and Group B, the average searching distance of 6 tests was decreased of various degrees compared with Group D [(586±91) cm, (510±89) cm;(566±70) cm,(497 ±76) cm; (521 ±84) cm, (455 ±56) cm; (480 ±74) cm, (421 ±63) cm;(437±51) cm, (396±79) cm;(392±79) cm, (385±48) cm, t=2.364-4.230, P < 0.05-0.01]. In every medication group, the average searching distance tent of acetylcholine in brain hippocampus and the activities of cholinacetyltranslase and acetylcholinesterase of rats in each group: those in Group D were all remarkably reduced compared with the control [(2.2±0.7) nmol/g,(3.8±0.9) nmol/g;(503.3±103.3) pkat/g, (778.3±125.0) pkat/g;(190.0±51.7) μkat/g, (368.3±86.7) μkat/g, P < 0.01]. In mixed group and Group B, the content of acetylcholine and activity of acetylcholinesterase were remarkably higher than the Group D [(2.7±0.6) nmol/g, (2.9±0.6) nmol/g;(256.7±58.3) μ kat/g, (306.7±88.3) μkat/g, t=3.445-4.148, P < 0.01]. In Group B, the activity of cholinacetyltranslase [(668.3±118.3) kat/g] was remarkably higher than those in the Group D(P < 0.01). Every index in group A was basically same as model group.CONCLUSION: Grand mal of chronic epileptic rat model is characterized as declined capacity of spatial learning and memory and associated with decreased content of acetylcholine and the activities of cholinacetyltranslase and acetylcholinesterase in brain hippocampus, explaining the successful complex model of learning and memory disturbance. Piracetam 4.8 g/L may increase content of acetylcholine and the activities of cholinacetyltranslase and acetylcholinesterase in brain hippocampus and improve learning-memory capacity, but its effect at 2.4 g/L was not remarkable.

Objective To construct pseudotyped retroviral vector MuLV/VSV-G and transfer it into rabbit smooth muscle cells (SMC) in order to provide a high-efficiency vector for SMC gene transfer. Methods We constructed pseudotyped retroviral vector MuLV/VSV-G containing the previously reported gene lacZ, determined the titer, and determined the efficiency of gene transfer into SMC mediated by pseudotyped retroviral vector MuLV/VSV-G. Finally the transfer efficiency was compared with that by MuLV. Results MuLV/VSV-G vector was constructed. The titer of the vector was 6-7.8×10~6CFU, the transfer efficiency was (92±12)% by using MuLV/VSV-G vector and (24±5)% by MuLV vector. Conclusion Pseudotyped retroviral vector MuLV/VSV-G which was constructed successfully is a kind of high-efficiency gene transfer vector in smooth muscle cells.

AIM:To observe the effect of Tianbing Tiaodu Capsule on learning and memory,and expression of BDNF in brains of picrotoxin-kindled epilepsy rats. METHODS: The epilepsy rat model was established by picrotoxin in jection.The effects of Tianbing Tiaodu Capsule were observed on the model groups and compared with sodium valproate group and piracetam group.The behavior and emotion of epilepsy rats were observed by Action Observing Box.Its reactions were assessed by snatching rats with the gloves.The learning and memory abilities were tested after Morris water maze training.The brains were made into paraffin sections,processed for HE staining and Nissl staining.The expression levels of BDNF were measured by immunohistochemical S-P techniques. RESULTS: Taking Tianbing Tiaodu Capsule,the behavior and emotion of epilepsy rats were markedly improved.The escape latency of searching the platform were shortened and times of rats acrossing the original platform were increased.Tianbing Tiaodu Capsule could reduce neuron impairment and necrosis on the cordex and Hippocampus of epilepsy rats,improve the loss of Nissl bodies,increase BDNF positive remarks. CONCLUSION: Tianbing Tiaodu Capsule can markedly improve impairment of learning and memory in picrotoxin-kindle epilepsy rats,which might be the result of increaseing BDNF expression,the protection of Nissl bodies,making protein synthesize,improving neuron function.
