Objective: To observe the changes of heart-type fatty acid binding-protein(H-FABP) in the femoral vein(periphe ral blood) and urine of rats with myocardial infarction in different postmortem intervals. Methods: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was duplicated by ligating the anterior branch of the left coronary artery following the method of Johns in rats. Concentrations of H-FABP were detected with enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA). Results: The concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group were obviously higher than that in control group. Along with the time, the concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group rose consistently, the concentration of H-FABP in 12 h group rose markedly, and it was obviously higher than in 48h that in 24h. The H-FABP concentrations in urine of the experiment group were obviouslyhigher than the one in control group. The urine concentrations of H-FABP in experiment group increased by wavy in postmortem intervals, the concentration of H-FABP in (6h) group was obviouslyhigher than that in 0h group, 12h and 24h postmortem, the H-FABP concentrations decreased, but still higher than that of 0h group and 48h group, the concentration of H-FABP rose markedly and washigher than 6h group. Conclusion: Affected by autolysis, the H-FABP concentrations of plasma and urine appeared abnormal raise and can not be used in postmortem diagnosis of AMI.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of a group of patients of mitochondrial encepha-lomyopathy with actic acidosis and stroke (MELAS) with onset of status epileptics. Methods Clinical features, EEGs, image ifndings, and therapeutic data of 4 cases with onset of status epileptics patients ifnally diagnosed as MELAS were retrospectively reviewed. Results Four Patients were onset with status epileptics. The levels of serum lactic acid, ammonia, myocardial enzymes were increased, and the serum sodium level was reduced, and accompanied with metabolic acidosis. EEG found corresponding paroxysmal and interictal activities. Brain images showed basal ganglia calciifcation, brain atrophy, and acute cortex edema. Genetic detection found mtDNA3243 mutation. Conclusions The status epilepticus was commonly present in MELAS. The treatment of epileptic attack in this disease was dififcult, which needs early diagnosis. Appropriate anti-leptic drugs and relevant treatment to symptoms are important to alleviate cerebral injury.

Objective To explore the effects of mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) on expression of metallothionein I/II (MT I/II) and cytochrome C (Cyt C) in hippocampus of pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced epileptic (EP) young rats. Methods Fif-ty SD rats aged 19 days were randomly divided into control group, EP group, mNGF low, medium, and high dose groups. Each group had 10 rats. Control group was injected with normal saline every day, and EP group was intraperitoneally injected with PTZ 40 mg/(kg·d) for 21 days in succession. The mNGF low, medium, and high dose groups were respectively intramuscularly injected with mNGF 500, 1 000, 2 000 AU/(kg·d) for 7 days in succession after PTZ injection. Changes of body weight, behav-ioral performance were recorded. The positive cells of MT I/II, Cyt C were examined by immunohistochemisty. The levels of MT I, Cyt C mRNA in hippocampus were measured by real-time PCR. Results The number of MT I/II, Cyt C positive cells and the levels of MT I, Cyt C mRNA in hippocampus had signiifcant differences among groups (F=15.98-105.76, P=0.000). The number of MT I/II, Cyt C positive cells and the levels of MT I, Cyt C mRNA of EP group were higher than those in control group, mNGF low, medium, and high dose groups (P<0.05). The number of MT I/II, Cyt C positive cells of mNGF low group were higher than those in mNGF high dose group (P<0.05). The levels of MT I, Cyt C mRNA of mNGF low group were higher than those in mNGF medium and high dose groups (P<0.05). The number of MT I/II, Cyt C positive cells and the levels of MT I, Cyt C mRNA had no differences between mNGF medium and high dose groups (P>0.05). Conclusions As a stress protein, metallothionein is involved in the process of chronic epilepsy along with Cyt C. mNGF has neuroprotective effects on the hippocampus of epileptic rats in dose dependent manner.

In order to enhance the anticoagulant properties of decellularized biological materials as scaffolds for tissue engineering research via heparinized process, the decellularized porcine liver scaffolds were respectively immobilized with heparin through layer-by-layer self-assembly technique (LBL), multi-point attachment (MPA) or end-point attachment (EPA). The effects of heparinization and anticoagulant ability were tested. The results showed that the three different scaffolds had different contents of heparin. All the three kinds of heparinized scaffolds gained better performance of anticoagulant than that of the control scaffold. The thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of EPA scaffold group were longest in all the groups, and all the three times exceeded the measurement limit of the instrument. In addition, EPA scaffolds group showed the shortest prepared time, the slowest speed for heparin release and the longest recalcification time among all the groups. The decellularized biological materials for tissue engineering acquire the best effect of anticoagulant ability in vitro via EPA heparinized technique.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of aripiprazole in the treatment of childhood tic disorders (TD) by a meta analysis.
METHODSA systematic search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole in the treatment of childhood TD that were published between January 2000 and August 2014 was conducted. A Meta analysis on the selected RCTs was conducted using Review Manager 5.2 software.
RESULTSSix RCTs involving 551 TD patients were enrolled. There were no significant differences in the efficacy between aripiprazole and traditional drugs for treatment of TD either by the end of follow-up visit or at 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment. The subgroup analysis results indicated that aripiprazole had the same efficacy for the treatment of TD as traditional drug haloperidol. Aripiprazole had a lower incidence of extrapyramidal reactions than haloperidol (P<0.05), but the overall incidence of side effects of aripiprazole was not lower than traditional drugs for treatment of TD.
CONCLUSIONSThe available evidence suggests that aripiprazole has the same curative effect in the treatment of childhood TD compared with the traditional drugs. However, it is difficult to draw a firm conclusion that aripiprazole is a safer drug in the treatment of childhood TD.

OBJECTIVETo compare the clinical efficacy in the treatment of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome between floating-needle therapy and conventional acupuncture on the basis of rehabilitation training.
METHODSOne hundred cases of post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome were randomized into a floating-needle group and an acupuncture group, 50 cases in each one. The passive and positive rehabilitation training was adopted in the two groups. Additionally, in the floating-needle group, the floating-needle therapy was used. The needle was inserted at the site 5 to 10 cm away from myofasical trigger point (MTrP), manipulated and scattered subcutaneously, for 2 min continuously. In the acupuncture group, the conventional acupuncture was applied at Jianqian (EX-UE), Jianyu (LI 15), Jianliao (TE 14), etc. The treatment was given once every two days, 3 times a week, and 14 days of treatment were required. The shoulder hand syndrome scale (SHSS), the short form McGill pain scale (SF-MPQ) and the modified Fugl-Meyer motor function scale (FMA) were used to evaluate the damage severity, pain and motor function of the upper limbs before and after treatment in the two groups. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.
RESULTSSHSS score, SF-MPQ score and FMA score were improved significantly after treatment in the two groups (all P < 0.01), and the improvements in the floating-needle group were superior to those in the acupuncture group (all P < 0.05). The total effective rate was 94.0% (47/50) in the floating-needle group, which was better than 90.0% (45/50) in the acupuncture group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe floating-needle therapy combined with rehabilitation training achieves a satisfactory efficacy on post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome, which is better than the combined therapy of conventional acupuncture and rehabilitation training.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the medium-term curative effects of locking proximal humerus plate for the treatment of comminuted fractures of proximal humerus, and provide evidences for the clinical practice.
METHODSFrom August 2005 and April 2008, 23 patients with comminuted fractures of proximal humerus were treated with locking plates, including 12 males and 11 females, aged 27 to 76 years old (averaged 51.5 years old). There were 18 cases of traffic accident injuries, 4 cases of falls injuries, and 1 case injured after heavy pressure. According to Neer classification, 11 cases were three-part fractures, and 12 cases were four-part fractures. Outcomes were assessed with radiography and the Constant-Murley (C-M) shoulder evaluation.
RESULTSAll the patients got primary healing of incisions. Twenty-three patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 17 to 49 months, with an average of 35.25 months. Twenty patients had fracture healing during 4 to 7 months after operation. There was no significant differences among 3, 6 and 12 months after operation in C-M scoring. The average C-M score was (79.85 +/- 17.23) points (38 to 100 points) at the 12th month after operation, 8 cases got an excellent result, 8 good, 5 fair, and 2 poor. In the LPHP plus bone graft group 6 cases got an excellent result, 4 good, 3 fair, and 1 poor; in LPHP fixation group 2 excellent, 4 good, 2 fair,and 1 poor.
CONCLUSIONThe medium-term curative effect of the locking proximal humerus plate in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures is significant. For the comminuted fractures of proximal humerus combined with osteoporosis and bone defects, bone graft should be performed routinely.

Objective:To investigate the effect of prenatal taurine supplementation on sensorimotor ability and synaptophysin (Syn) expression in the hippocampus of juvenile rats with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).Methods:The IUGR rat model was induced by food restriction throughout pregnancy.Pregnant rats were randomly divided into normal control group, IUGR group and IUGR+ taurine group.Sensorimotor ability was tested in 2-week-old juvenile rats via grading the tail suspension scores and beam balance test scores, followed by detecting Syn expression in the hippocampus of juvenile rats by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.The correlation between sensorimotor ability scores and Syn expression was assessed.Results:Tail suspension time[(14.62±3.46) s vs.(25.38±5.92) s, P<0.001] and beam balance test scores [(9.08±1.38) scores vs.(12.08±1.16) scores, P<0.001] in the IUGR group were significant lower than those of normal control group.Tail suspension time (22.77±5.16) s and beam balance test scores (11.08±1.38) scores in IUGR+ taurine group were significantly higher than those in IUGR group (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference comparable to those in normal control group ( P>0.05). The average optical density ( A) value [(53.96±2.37)% vs.(61.68±3.07)%, P<0.001] and protein expression of Syn (1.82±0.23 vs.2.23±0.17, P<0.001) in rat hippocampus of IUGR group were all signi-ficantly lower than those in normal control group.The A value [(60.27±2.59)%] and expression of Syn protein (2.07±0.17) in IUGR+ taurine group were significantly higher than those in IUGR group (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference comparable to those in normal control group ( P>0.05). The expression of Syn in rat hippocampus was positively correlated with the tail suspension test time and beam balance test scores (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Prenatal taurine supplementation can improve the sensorimotor ability of juvenile rats with IUGR by upregulating Syn in the hippocampus.
