Objective To establish the preferable puberty pathological aggression animal model.Methods The experimental models were established towards puberty rats by frustration test of non-reward and instigation test.Rat models were tested for specificity using open-field test,saccharine test,elevated plus-maze(EPM)and olfactory sensibility.Results ①Compared with normal aggression(52.5±5.36)and control group(8.83±1.34)in total aggressive times,the pathological aggression group(101.17±2.85)increased significantly(P<0.01);②Some behavior items of each model group were moderately or hishly correlated to total score(r=0.379～0.929);③There was a significant difference between pathological aggression group and normal aggression group in the numbers of attack toward vulnerable-body regions,persistence attack after intruder displayed submissive and hish attack/threat ratios(P<0.01);④The pathological aggression group did not show depression,anxiety and olfactory disorder,except for space cognitive function(P>0.05).However,the normal aggression group displayed obvious depressive mood.Conclusion Each behavioral index matches the criteria of pathological aggression model.Meanwhile,it also excludes other factors of disturbing the specificity of the model.It suggests this model may be preferable puberty pathological aggression animal model.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in medical intensive care unit (ICU) and its relationship with severity of disease and prognosis.Methods A prospective study was performed to evaluate vitamin D status in 216 patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit.The incidence of hypovitaminosis D was observed.Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score,days kept in ICU and on ventilator,main laboratory findings,and mortality rate were compared among patients with different serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] levels.Potential risk factors for mortality were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results One hundred and fifty-three patients (70.8％) developed hypovitaminosis D.25 (OH) D deficiency was identified in 95 (44.0％),25 (OH) D insufficiency in 58 (26.8％),and 25 (OH) D sufficiency in 63 (29.2％) patients.APACHE Ⅱ score,positive blood culture,the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS),and mortality rate were higher in deficiency group compared with the other two groups [APACHE Ⅱ score:deficiency group 25 (20,28) score,insufficiency group 22 (17,26) score,sufficiency group 19 (18,20) score,P＜0.01 ; positive blood culture:deficiency group 18.9％,insufficiency group 13.8％,sufficiency group 3.2％,P=0.015 ; MODS:deficiency group 48.4％,insufficiency group 43.1％,sufficiency group 25.4％,P=0.025; mortality rate:deficiency group 40％,insufficiency group 24.1％,sufficiency group 15.9％,P =0.003].25 (OH)D levels were negatively correlated with APACHE Ⅱ score and mortality rate (r =-0.325,P＜0.01 ; r=-0.276,P＜0.01,respectively).Analysis by multiple logistic regression demonstrated that 25 (OH) D deficiency (OR =3.005,95 ％ CI 1.321-5.875,P =0.008) was independent risk factor for mortality.Conclusions This study demonstrates that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent among patients admitted into ICU.Vitamin D deficiency is associated with disease severity,and seems to be an independent risk factor for mortality.

The perivascular space is formed by the pia mater around the blood vessels and participates in the fluid exchange and waste clearance in the brain. The enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) indicates the disorder of brain clearance mechanism, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of a variety of clinical diseases. In recent years, there are a lot of studies on the pathogenesis and influencing factors of EPVS. This article reviews its anatomy, neuroimaging, pathogenesis, and risk factors.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of enema combined with massage therapy on jaundice in premature infants.Methods Seventy-five premature infants with jaundice were randomly divided into 3 groups,enema combined message therapy group(group A),abdominal massage therapy group(group B),and double-side phototherapy group(group C).All 3 groups were received the same formula fee-ding,intravenous nutrition and identical drug treatment.Group A was given enema with mixed kaiselu and normal saline together with 60 times clockwise abdominal massage once a day for 2 weeks.Group B only received abdominal massage twice per day for 2 weeks.Transcutaneous bilirubin(TB) indexes of all the premature infants in the 3 groups were detected and transformed into total TB concentrations every morning,through version of MINOLTA JM-102 transcutaneous bilirubin radiometer made in Japan.When TB index counted more than 196.58 ?mol/L,group A and B were given single-side phototherapy for 24 hours.Neither enema nor abdominal massage was given to group C,and double-side phototherapy was applied when TB indexes were above 196.58 ?mol/L.Daily TB indexes,duration of jaundice and phototherapy,time of meconium exhaustion,defecation times in each day,incidence of constipation and feeding intolerance were recorded.Results Duration of jaunhospitalized and phototherapy were significantly shortened in group A compared with those of the other groups.In 34 premature infants who were hospital for at least 2 weeks,TB indexes in group C were lower than those in group B on the 9th day.On the 12th day and the 14th day,TB indexes in group A and C were lower than those in group B(Pa

Objective To investigate whether arsenic trioxide(As2O3)with different density is capable of affecting the invasiveness of neuroblastoma(NB)cells,and to give grounds for NB therapy with As2O3.Methods 1.Well-developed NB cells were selected and exposed to 0.75 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L,3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 for 24 h;2.Collect the adherence cells,count the number and float them in nutrient medium again,add them into the transwell polycarbonate membrane plate that was covered by matrigel,there were 2?104 NB cells in each well;3.After 24 h,take off the membrane,fix the cells which cross the membrane with mehanol and dye them with hematoxylin;4.Observe the NB cells and count them,so the capability of invasion of LA-N-5 was evaluated by transwell chamber assay.Results After 24 h with the different density As2O3,the number of invading LA-N-5 cells was significantly lower in As2O3 group than that in control group(the number of invading cells of the As2O3 group was 28.0?4.0,19.33?4.16,6.33?1.53,respectively,the cell number of the control group was 46.33?6.11)(P=0.013,0.003,0);among the experiment groups,there was no difference between 0.75 ?mol/L and 1.50 ?mol/L(P=0.06),and it was significantly different between 0.75 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L(P=0,0.007),the number of invading LA-N-5 cells of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 was the least.Conclusions As2O3 could inhibit the invasive potential of NB cells;the inhibitory action of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 is the most.

Objective To study protective immunity effects of co-immunization with P30 DNA vaccine and protein vaccine. Methods Forty-eight 5-6 weeks old BALB/c female mice were divided into four groups (A,B,C,D), 12 mice of each group. In group A (control group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 plasmid DNA by intramuscular (i.m.) for three times at week 0,2 and 4; in group B (P30 protein group) each mouse was immunized (i.m.) with 50 ?g rP30+50 ?g CFA for three times at week 0, 2 and 4; in group C (pcDNA3.1-P30 group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1-P30 plasmid DNA (i.m.) for three times at week 0, 2 and 4; in group D (P30 DNA+rP30 co-immunization group) each mouse was immunized with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1-P30 plasmid DNA (i.m.) for two times at week 0, 2 and immunized by subcutaneous with 50 ?g rP30+50 ?g CFA at week 4. Each mouse was infected with 100 tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii RH strain four weeks later after last immunization. The anti-P30 antibodies were detected with ELISA before the challenge. Results The P30 DNA vaccine was successfully constructed. High titers of anti-P30 antibodies were induced in each mouse immunized with DNA vaccine. The protective trial proved that there was no significant difference between control group and experimental group though the survival time of mouse from experimental group had been prolonged. Conclusion The P30 DNA vaccine could induced high titers of anti- P30 antibodies in immunized mice, and it may be a potential DNA vaccine candidate.
