Objective To evaluate the value of event-related potential mismatch negativity(ERP-MMN)for diagnosis and prognosis of amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI).Methods 181 people were enrolled in this study,including 102 aMCI patients and 79 normal people and all of them underwent the clinical symptom and performance of neuropsychologieal measures and cranium imaging and examination of MMN.aMCI patients were judged to progress to Alzheimer's disease(AD)or not by clinical symptom and performance of neuropsychological measures during 1 year follow-up period.Through analysis of peak latency (PL)and amplitude(Amp),the value of MMN in diagnosis of aMCI and normal subjects was assessed,judging aMCI progress to AD or not.Results In contrast to normal control subjects(NC),PL of MMN in subjects of aMCl was significantly longer and Amp was significantly shorter,PL of MMN(312.7±25.7)ms vs(285.1±28.8)ms(t=6.81,P<0.01),Amp(3.5 ±1.3)μV vs(4.7±1.1)μV(t=-6.37,P<0.01).Moreover,PL of MMN in subjects of aMCl which would progress to AD was significantly longer than of subjects of aMCI which would not progress,(332.2±24.1)ms vs(307.5 ±24.0)ms(t=2.75,P=0.007).However.significantly difference was not observed in Amp of MMN and neuropsychological measures between subjects of aMCI would progress and not.Conclusions MMN can be used in auxiliary diagnosis and judging prognosis of aMCI.It is appropriate when is required to reflect and monitor periodic cognitive state of subjects of aMCI.

Objective To investigate the radioactivity level of natural rocks in Lhasa in order to obtain the radionuclide contents and availiability of the rock.Methods Radiation monitoring and sampling were carried out in the natural rock mining area in Lhasa,and the contents of radionuclides in the samples were analyzed.Both internal and external exposure indexes were calculated,and the rocks were classified according to the relevant national standards on building materials.Results The average specific activity of 40K,226Ra,232Th and 238U in the rock samples were 912,59.0,77.1,and 64.4 Bq/kg,respectively.Internal and external exposure indexes were both less than 1.Conclusions The radioactivity level in natural rocks in Lhasa were lower than the national levels.The natural rocks could be used as main building materials and Class A decoration materials.

Objective To observe the effect of emodin capsule on constipation model mice caused by diphenoxylate and compare it with the effect of Rhubarb & sodium bicarbonate tablet.Methods The ICR mice were divided into 6 groups as blank control group, diphenoxylate model group, emodin 25mg/kg,50mg/kg,100mg/kg group, and Rhubarb & sodium bicarbonate tablet 500mg/kg group. The blank control group and model group were given distilled water intragastrically while the rest 4 groups were given certain doses. The time of first dark stool defecation and 6-hour defecation quantity of each mouse were observed and recorded. The total weight of stool was weighed.Results The time of first dark stool defecation of the model group is markedly longer than that of control group (P

Objective To investigate the effect of doxapram on inhibition of medullary respiratory center excitability by sevoflurane in rats.Methods Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes,aged 1-4 days,were used in this study.Isolated medulla oblongata-spinal cord specimens were made according to the method described by Suzue and perfused with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid saturated with 95％O2-5％CO2.The specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =9 each):control group (group C),sevoflurane group (group S) and sevoflurane + doxapram group (group S + D).Respiratory rhythmical discharge activity of the hypoglossal nerve rootlets was recorded using suction electrode.After 10 min of equilibration,the specimens were perfused with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid,5％ sevoflurane and the mixture of 5％ sevoflurane and 5 μmol/L doxapram for 10 min in groups C,S,and S + D respectively.The respiratory cycle,inspiratory time and integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the respiratory cycle was significantly prolonged,the inspiratory time was significantly shortened,and the integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge was significantly decreased in group S (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group S + D (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group S,the respiratory cycle was significantly shortened,the inspiratory time was significantly prolonged,the integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge was significantly increased in group S + D ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Doxapram antagonizes sevoflurane-induced inhibition of excitability of medullary respiratory center in rats.

Objective To study the influence of progesterone on the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer and observe the co?effect of vitamin D and progesterone of different levels on the proliferation of the cell line T?47D in hormone?dependent breast cancer and the interaction be?tween vitamin D and progesterone. Methods The cultured T?47D cells were divided into the high and the low progesterone mono?treated groups to observe the effects of different levels of progesterone on the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer cell line(T?47D). The high and the low vitamin D mono?treated groups were set to observe the effects of different levels of vitamin D on the cell proliferation. Groups treated by differ?ent levels of progesterone combined with vitamin D were set to observe the interaction between them. Normal breast cancer cells were set as the con?trol group. The two?factor two?level parallel factorial experiment was conducted to observe the co?effect of different levels of progesterone and vitamin D on the proliferation of T?47D. The growth and apoptosis of cells was observed through detection of absorbance in each group by MTT. Results The cell concentration in high and low progesterone treated groups was increased than that in the control group,and was increased in the low proges?terone treated group compared with the high progesterone treated group(P<0.05). The cell concentration in dual?low level treated group was de?creased than that in the other three groups which were two?factor treated and the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Progesterone stimulates the cell proliferation of hormone?dependent breast cancer. The concentration?based interaction between vitamin D and progesterone indicates that the bi?directional effect of progesterone on breast cancer cells may be related to the concentration of progesterone and other factors,but the specific interac?tion and the mechanism is unclear.

Objective To evaluate the corneal wound quality of different corneal lamellar-cut depths with the femtosecond laser for fem-tosecond laser-assisted lamellar anterior keratoplasty so as to provide theoretical basis for the appliation of femtosecond laser.Methods Full lamellar cuts were made on 20 human cadaver corneas through femtosecond laser.The 20 human cadaver corneas were divided into 5 groups according to the relative cutting depth which means ratio of the actual cutting depth and the central cornea thickness of 17% to 21%(100 μm,n =3),31% (n =5),35% (n =5),38% to 40% (n =4),and 45% to 48% (n =3).Scanning electron microscopy images of the cap and bed surfaces were graded for ridge and roughness with a scale of 1 to 5 point (1 =best,5 =worst).And the graft-host match was evaluated by photography and optical coherence tomography in a simulated procedure.Results The ridge scores was correlated with the rela-tive cutting depth (P =0.000 24,R =0.73).The 17% to 21% group had the shallowest cutting depth and the fewest ridges (1.25 point). The score of the 31% group was 2.15 point which was significantly lower than the other groups with deeper cutting depth.The roughness score ranged from 2.19 to 3.08 among the 5 group without singnificant difference (P >0.05).Conclusion The femtosecond laser produced more ridges in deeper lamellar cuts and the relative cutting depth of 31% might produce an adequate surface quality for femtosecondlaser-as-sisted lamellar anterior keratoplasty.
