It is the responsibility of the society to improve the health literacy of residents and the public health-o-riented popular science information service is a rather effective measure to improve the health literacy of residents. However , the public health literary is rather low and the public health-oriented popular science information service is far behind satisfaction. The ways and key factors were thus put forward for public health-oriented popular science information service in medical library by analyzing the advantageous medical information resources, advanced tech-nical equipments and professional staff in medical library.

OBJECTIVEThis study further explores the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) signaling axis mechanism in temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (OA) by detecting the changes in CXCR4, interleukin (IL)-6, and collagen X expression in the ATDC5 cell line stimulated by the cyclic tensile strain and SDF-1.

METHODSInsulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) was used to induce ATDC5 cells to differentiate into chondrocyte-like cells. After three weeks, the cells were divided into two groups: those with and without cyclic tensile strain. These groups were further divided into the negative control and SDF-1 groups. Strain force of 20% was applied. After 12 h, the total proteins were extracted from cells of the four groups, and Western blot analysis was used to detect the changes in CXCR4, IL-6, and collagen X expression.

RESULTSSDF-1 could enhance CXCR4, IL-6, and collagen X expressions in the chondrocytes, and 20% tensile strain force could further upregulate the three factors.

CONCLUSIONUnder abnormal tensile force, SDF-1 can upregulate its specific receptor CXCR4, thus increasing its-binding efficiency and resulting in the activation of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis. This condition enhances the expressions of IL-6 and other inflammatory factors and directly damages to cartilage tissue. Such damage directly promotes chondrocyte hypertrophy, which enhances collagen X expression.

The results of open-field test,step-through passive avoidance task and radial-arm maze experiment showed that changes of locomotor activity,anxiety-related behaviour and ability of learning and memory were associated with the increased apoptosis of neurons in hippocampus in rats with perinatal hypothyroidism.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect ofZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula on the expressions of glutamate, NR2A and NR2B in hippocampus of diabetic rats with depression;To explore the mechanism of protective effect. Methods Diabetes with depression rat models were established and then were randomly divided into the model group, positive medicine group, high-, medium- and low-doseZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula groups. Normal rats acted as normal group, 16 rats per group. After 28 days of administration, Open-field test was used to detect the behavior of the rats;glutamate content of hippocampus was detected by ELISA;the expressions of NR2A and NR2B in rat hippocampus were detected by immunofluorescence.Results Compared with normal group, automatic activity times of rats in model group decreased significantly (P<0.01);both glutamate content (P<0.01) and expressions of NR2A, NR2B (P<0.01) increased significantly. Compared with the model group, automatic activity times of rats in positive medicine group and high-doseZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula group significantly increased (P<0.01);glutamate content dropped (P<0.01);expressions of NR2A and NR2B decreased (P<0.05).ConclusionZuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula can improve depressive behavior of diabetic rats with depression, which may be related to the regulation of glutamate content and expressions of NR2A and NR2B in hippocampus.

Objective The present study is to investigate the distribution of endogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2) in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) rats.Methods Thirty-two SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized (random number) into sham operation group,SAP rat 3 h group (SAP 3 h),SAP rat 6 hgroup (SAP6h),SAP rat 12 hgroup (SAP 12 h),n=8 in each group.The SAPmodel rats were induced by retrograde cholangiopancreatic infusion of 5％ sodium taurocholate.Rats were sacrified 3 h,6 h or 12 h after treatment.,then we collected pancrease,liver,lung,kidney and serum.The SO2 concentration in each tissue or serum was detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbentassay.Results The concentration of SO2 in tissues of pancreas (1.72 ± 0.14) μmol/g,liver (1.62 ± 0.11) μmol/g,lung (1.65 ± 0.11) μ.mol/g,kidney (1.12 ± 0.06) μmol/g or serum (16.80 ± 1.27) μmol/g in SAP 3 h rats was not significant compared with the sham operation group (P ＞ 0.05 in each group).The SO2 content in the pancreas (1.89 ± 0.17) μmol/g,liver (1.92 ± 0.16) μmol/g,lung (1.91 ± 0.15) μmol/g,kidney (1.30 ± 0.10) μmol /g and serum (14.93 ± 1.00) μmol /g of SAP 6 h was significantly increased compared with sham operation group (P ＜ 0.05 each group).The content SO2 in the pancreas (2.31 ± 0.23) μmol /g,liver (2.22 ± 0.15) μmol /g,lung (2.17 ± 0.07)μmol /g,kidney (1.55 ± 0.15) μmol /gand serum (18.88 ± 1.56) μmol /g of SAP rats reached the peak 12Hafter treatment and was significantly higher compared with the sham operation group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The increase of SO2 concentration in SAP might be,at least in our present opinion,involved into the pathogenesis of SAP rats.

Objective To investigate cerebral MRI characteristics of patients with eclampsia. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 15 cases of eclampsia and items reviewed cover all data concerning clinical features,cerebral MRI findings and results of follow-up survey.Results All of these patients had clinical symptoms of.blurred vision,headache,seizure,hypertension,proteinuria and edema of lower extremity.As for the characteristics of imaging,13 cases had only abnormal symmetric signals in parieto-occipital lobes,frontal lobe and basal ganglia were involved in 2 cases,and temporal lobe was involved in 1 case.The signals of lesions in DWI were isointense or hypointense,however they were hyperintense in ADC map.Two cases had hyperintense signals in DWI.All the patients recovered well,and all brain lesions disappeared during follow up.Conclusion The most important imaging of eclampsia is vasogenic edema with a good prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of uncoupling protein (UCP)-2, 3 mRNA in skeletal muscle of the scalded rats after escharectomy at different post scalding stages.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty Wistar rats were employed in the study, in which 8 served as normal control (C) and 112 were subjected to 30% TBSA 3rd degree scalding and then again, divided into 4 groups. The rats in A group were sacrificed on 8th, 24th, 96th, 120th and 168th post scalding hours (PSHs) without escharectomy. The rats in B group underwent escharectomy at 8 PSH, and those in C group underwent escharectomy at 24 PSH. All the rats in both groups were sacrificed on 96, 120 and 168 PSHs after escharectomy, Escharectomy was performed at 96 PSH in rats of D group, and they were sacrificed on 120 and 168 PSHs after escharectomy. The serum levels of leptin and TNFalpha, and the expression level of UCP2 mRNA were determined at all time points in all groups of rats.

RESULTS(1) The serum levels of leptin in A group were obviously lower than that in C group (P < 0.01) during 24 approximately 168 PSHs, while those in B, C and D groups were much higher than those in A group (P < 0.01) during 24 approximately 168 PSH. (2) The serum TNFalpha levels in A group at all time points were higher than that in control group, while that in B group at all time points were lower than that in A group (P < 0.05 or 0.01), and that in C group at 168 PSH was lower than that in A group (P < 0.05). (3) The UCP2 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle in A group was increased evidently since 8 PSH (P < 0.01), peaking at 24 PSH and lowering thereafter, while that in B and C groups at 168PSH was significantly lower than that in A group at the same time points (0.32 and 0.35 vs 0.71, P < 0.05). The trend of the change in UCP3 mRNA expression in skeletal muscle was similar to that of UCP2.

CONCLUSIONThe postburn up-regulation of UCP mRNA expression might play important roles in the increase of metabolic rate. Escharectomy during shock stage could lower down the expression of UCP2 and UCP3 mRNA expression, and it could be beneficial by lowering metabolic rate.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of escharectomy during shock stage on plasma lipid and free fatty acid levels in scalded rats.

METHODSThirty-two adult Wistar rats inflicted with 30% TBSA III degree scalding were employed as the model and were divided into normal control (NC), scalding control (SC) and treatment groups (T), and the latter was further divided into three sub groups according to the time of escharectomy, i.e. 8 postburn hour (PBHs) (T8), 24 PBHs (T24) and 96 PBHs (T96) groups. The rats were sacrificed at 168 PBHs. The postburn changes in the rat plasma lipid and free fatty acid levels were determined.

RESULTS1) There was significant increase in serum triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CHO), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), apolipoprotein A (ApoA), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and all the free fatty acids (FFAs) in the total serum FFAs excluding myristic acid (P < 0.05) at 168 PBHs in rats of all the T groups. 2) The serum levels of TG, CHO, ApoB, total FFA, lauric acid, palmitic acid, zoomaric acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid in T8 and T24 groups were evidently lower than those in SC group (P < 0.05). The plasma levels of VLDL, stearic acid and arachidonic acid in T8 were obviously lower than those in SC group (P < 0.05); 3) In T96 group, the serum levels of ApoB and lauric acid were significantly lower than those in SC group (P < 0.05), but all the other indices remained higher than those before injury.

CONCLUSIONThere was enhanced fat mobilization after severe burn injury. Escharectomy during shock stage might decrease fat mobilization, which was beneficial to the restoration of normal lipid metabolism.
