Based on literature review, questionnaire survey, Interact investigation, experts interview and seminars the paper analyzes the status quo of the information literacy education and existing problems in traditional Chinese medicine colleges and universities, proposes constructive advices on carrying out information literacy education, moreover, provides a information literacy education standard for traditional Chinese medical colleges and universities and initially constructs a comprehensive information literacy education system.

The aim of information literacy(IL) education is to cultivate students' ability to continuously update and improve their expertise.An overall IL education system contains three parts-information technology education and its' combination with medical science,information retrieval education and its' combination with medical science,and the building of good study environment based on information.

Alzheimer ’ s disease ( AD ) is characterized by pro-gressive loss of memory and other cognitive functions .With re-cent discoveries , activation of silent mating-type information reg-ulator 2 homolog 1 ( SIRT1 ) could attenuate the cognitive dys-function of AD via reducing amyloid-βaggregation and tau pro-tein phosphorylation , inhibiting inflammatory reaction , and regu-lating synaptic plasticity .This review aims to highlight the in-volvement of these new discoveries of SIRT 1, and Akt/protein kinase B(PKB) signaling pathways, for their potential therapeu-tic effect against AD .

Methods AD rats induced by A? 25-35 were treated with GLP for 7 days and then observing the Morris water maze to study the learning and memory ability, the content of MDA, and the activity of SOD was measured in the hippocampus tissue with spectrophotometer. Ultrastructural changes of neuron were viewed under transmission electron microscope. Results GLP can distinctly improve the learning and memory ability of A?-injected rats(P

This study was aimed to compare and investigate protective effects of metformin and rosiglitazone on cardiac dysfunction in experimental diabetic cardiomyopathy (DC) model rats. The experimental DC rat model was induced by feeding high calorie diet plus single intraperitoneal injection of small dosage of streptozotocin (STZ). Then, intragastric administration of metformin (140 mg·kg-1) or rosiglitazone(2 mg·kg-1) was given to DC rats for consecutive 6 weeks. Parameters of general signs, eating amount, blood sugar, blood lipids, heart function, heart structure and lipometabolism of myocardial tissues were measured. The results showed that both metformin and rosiglitazone can obviously improve the myocardial injury of DC model rats and reduce the CK value (P < 0.01). Metformin can obviously increase the cardiac output of DC model rats (P < 0.01). Rosiglitazone can improve the maximum rate of myocardial contraction and diastole of the model rat's left ventricle (P < 0.05). Both metformin and rosiglitazone can decrease interventricular septal thickness (IST) value (P < 0.01). Metformin can obviously im-prove general signs of DC rats, inhibit body weight loss and reduce water intake (P < 0.05). Metformin can obvi-ously reduce the blood sugar level (FBG, GSP, HbA1c and FMN) of DC rats (P < 0.05, or P < 0.01) as well as the concentration of TG (P < 0.01). Rosiglitazone can reduce the concentration of FBG and HbA1c (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, rosiglitazone can significantly reduce the concentration of TG and LDL as well as obviously increase the myocardial FA-β-oxidase (P < 0.05). It was concluded that both metformin and rosiglitazone can recover the cardiac dysfunction and myocardial injury of DC rats on certain level. Metformin showed more effects on eating amount and body weight improvements of DC rats.

This study was aimed to observe the influence of Catalpol on real-time gait analysis of early recovery after permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) in rats to evaluate its effect on the improvement after cerebral ischemia. Rats were randomly divided into 6 groups, which were the normal control group, model group, Tianbaoning group, Catalpol 15, 30, 60 mg·kg-1 group. Rats were trained on the gait instrument for 7 days before pMCAO, 3 times/day. After the training, pMCAO model was made. And continuous infusion was performed from the 3rd to the 14th day after the operation. Then, the real-time gait behavior was detected on the 14th day. The re-sults showed that 14 days after the surgery, compared with the normal control group, the models had a significant extending in the duty cycle (P < 0.01), and obvious increasing of the average body angle of absolute value (P <0.05), the shortening of the two feet supporting time (P < 0.05), and extending of three feet supporting time (P <0.01), and increasing of the coordination index (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the Catalpol of 30 mg·kg-1 and 60 mg·kg-1 group has obviously decreased duty cycle and average body angle of absolute value (P <0.05, or P < 0.01). The Catalpol of 30 mg·kg-1 can obviously reduce the coordination index of the right front foot relative to the other three feet (P < 0.05), which improved the coordination of cerebral ischemia animals. It was concluded that Catalpol can improve the real-time gait behavior changes of cerebral ischemia model rats. There-fore, Catalpol have a neural protective effect on cerebral ischemia.

Conclusion APP/PS1 transgenic mice of 8-months-old have a remarkable impairment of learning and memory ability and disorder of gait behavior , and these two behaviors have a correlation in some extent .

High extracellular potassium can induce spreading depression-like depolarizations, elevations of extracellular glutamate and even neuronal death in normal brain. To investigate the contribution of high potassium in vivo, a microelectrode arrays ( MEAs ) probe integrated with recording sites for glutamate concentration (50í150 μm) and local field potential ( LFP) ( diameter=15 μm) was fabricated by Micro-electro-mechanical-systems ( MEMS) technologies. We implanted the MEA probe acutely in the rat brain and exposed the brain to a high potassium solution. During these multi-modal recordings, it was observed that high potassium elevated extracellular glutamate while suppressing the LFP irreversibly. This is one of the first studies in which a dual mode MEA probes is applied in vivo for neuronal death, and it is concluded that our MEA probes are capable of examining specific spatiotemporal relationships between electrical and chemical signaling in the brain.

A dual-mode recording system used for synchronous detection of neuroeletrical and neurochemical signals was developed, and a dual-mode synchronous detection experiment was carried out using the instrument. The device comprised 64-channel neuroelectricity recording module with voltage resolution of 0. 3 μV and 4-channel neurochemistry recording module with current resolution of 1 pA. The software had many basic features, including Spike separation and sort, chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, etc. In particular, the software could observe and analyze the dual-mode neural signals synchronously. The performance of the system was demonstrated in the single mode detection experiments. In neuroeletrical experiments, 64-channel simulate neural signals were detected and the signal to noise ratio ( S/N) of Spike recorded from cortex of Sprague-Dawley ( SD ) rat was 6. In the K3 [ Fe ( CN )6 ] and ascorbic acid measurement experiments, the current response of K3 [ Fe ( CN)6 ] in the range of 0. 1-10 mmol/L was obtained by cyclic voltammetry, with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9889, and the current response of ascorbic acid ( concentration:10-800 μmol/L) by chronoamperometry increased linearly with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9841. Based on the rat model of global cerebral ischemia, a dual-mode detection experiment was carried out. In the experiment, the neuroelectrical and neurochemical signals were synchronously recorded in the SD rat primary visual cortex. According to the experimental results, we got the conclusion that the concentration of ascorbic acid negatively related to the Spike firing in the SD rat primary visual cortex.
