Objective To investigate the changes and mechanism of learning and memory in rats by different doses of benzo (a) pyrene (B(a)P). Methods Forty weaned rats (28 days) were randomly divided into control group (NS), solvent group ( vegetable oil) and three B (a) P dosage groups (the doses were 5,10 and 20 mg / kg body weight respectively ). And all rats were administrated intraperitoneally every other day to one month. The capability of learning and memory in rats were measured by Morris water maze test, and the brain-derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) and NMDAR2B content in hippocampus were tested by immunohistochemistry. Results In training of Morris water maze,the average escape latency was extended gradually with increasing dose, and there was a statistically significant difference between high-dose group((62. 78 ±47. 25 )s) and the control group((40.60±38.79)s)(P< 0.01). Compared with the control group(11.25 ±2.63), the number of crossplatform of high-dose group(4.33 ±2.08) was statistically reduced (P<0.05). B(a)P at 10 and 20 mg/kg decreased NMDAR2B and BDNF expression in hippocampus of rats in immunohistochemistry. The level of NMDAR2B was (162.23 ±6.56) in the high-dose group and (150.38 ± 15.34) in the control group(P<0.05);the expression level of BDNF was (163. 13 ± 8.09) in the high-dose group and (141.83 ± 13.37) in the control group(P< 0.05). Conclusion Subacute B(a)P exposure can reduce spatial learning and memory in weaning rats, it may be related to decreased levels of NMDAR2B and BDNF in hippocampus.

To discuss clinicopathological features and molecular genetic change of congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN).Methods Nine cases diagnosed as CMN were analyzed retrospectively in this study.Histological features,immunohistochemical profiles and ETV6 gene rearrangement status were assessed.Results All patients were within two years of age and eight of them were within one year.The average diameter of tumors was 9.5 cm (3.2-15.0 cm).These series cases included 3 classic CMN,5 cellular CMN and 1 mixed CMN.Cystic degeneration was found in 5 cases,and cartilage islands were observed in 2 cases.Compared with classic CMN,tumor size was bigger,and hemorrhage,necrosis and mitotic figures were easily to see in cellular CMN.All the tumor cells were positive for vimentin and negative for WT-1 by immunohistochemistry.ETV6 gene rearrangement was detected in 5 cases (including 4 cellular CMN and 1 classic CMN).Three cellular CMN harbored ETV6 gene translocation,1 mixed CMN and 1 cellular CMN were negative for ETV6 gene translocation by FISH analysis.The follow up data were obtained in 7 cases and 2 cases were lost.All the 7 patients were alive without evidence of recurrence and metastasis from 5 to 46 months.Conclusion CMN is a rare infant renal tumor with unique clinicopathological characteristics.Most of cellular CMNs harbor ETV6 gene translocation.The prognosis of CMN is relative good and needs to be differentiated from other malignant renal tumors.

Objective To explore the clinical value of prospective electrocardiography-triggering high-pitch spiral acquisition by dual-source CT (HP mode ) in children with congenital heart diseases (CHD).MethodsThirty-six patients ( mean age:0.67 years,range:1 month to 2 years and 6 months; 25 males;mean weight:7.7 kg)underwent prospective ECG-triggering high-pitch spiral acquisition.The dose length product (DLP) was recorded to calculate effective dose ( ED ).Two experienced radiologists made diagnosis and assessed the overall image quality by a five-point scale independently.The consistency of their judgment was determined by Kappa statistics.Surgeries were performed in 29 patients,and conventional cardiac angiography(CCA) was performed in 7 patients.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of HP mode were calculated based on the surgical or CCA findings.ResultsThe DLP was (5.12 ± 1.64) mGy.cm with a range of 2.4 mGy · cm to 9.2 mGy · cm and ED was (0.125 ± 0.027 ) mSv ranging from 0.078 mSv to 0.179 mSv.The average subjective image quality score was 4.2 ± 0.7.All images were diagnosable.Two radiologists made good agreement ( K =0.774,P < 0.05 ).The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of HP mode were 98.9%,94.2% and 99.8%,respectively.ConclusionLow radiation dose with the accurate diagnosis of anomalies makes HP mode a new choice for children with CHD.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) on respiratory muscle training in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery.Methods:A quasi-experimental trial was performed. Patients were allocated to the control group or intervention group according to their time of admission. Patients who were admitted to hospital from January 2019 to April 2019 were assigned to the control group and patients admitted from May 2019 to October 2019 were allocated to the intervention group. The control group ( n=84) received routine perioperative care, and the intervention group ( n=82) received ACBT in addition to routine perioperative care. Patients in both groups were trained 3 to 5 times a day throughout their stay in the hospital. The primary outcome measure was maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), peak of expiratory flow (PEF), forced vital capacity (FVC). Other outcomes included the postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC), days of postoperative hospital stay. Results:The MIP, PEF, FVC value of the control group 3 days after extubation were (64.77±9.80) cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O=0.098 kPa), (139.52±23.74) L/min, (1.07±0.20) L, the intervention group were (69.89±10.92) cmH 2O, (150.37±28.65) L/min, (1.15±0.22)L, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -3.177,-2.657,-2.409, P <0.05). The MIP, PEF, FVC value of the control group 5 days after extubation were (71.13±8.64) cmH 2O, (270.48±44.36) L/min, (2.02±0.29) L, the intervention group were (74.72±12.48) cmH 2O, (287.07±58.61) L/min, (2.21±0.35) L, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were -2.161,-2.060,-3.605, P <0.05). The days of postoperative hospital stay of control group and intervention group were (8.15±0.98) and (7.80±1.23) d, there were significant differences ( t value was 2.021, P <0.05). Conclusions:ACBT is an effective and economical pulmonary rehabilitation method, it has effect on Respiratory Muscle Training in Patients Undergoing CABG surgery.
