Objective To study the relationship of expression of central cortex glucocorticoid receptor (GR) at protein level with GR expression in the liver at protein level and with changes of serum cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) following severe closed traumatic brain injury (TBI) in mice. Methods Severe TBI was established in awake mice by using a BIM-Ⅲ biomechanical machine. At 0.5, 2, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after TBI, the total cytosolic GR in the cortex and liver were detected with Western blotting. Levels of serum ACTH and cortisol were measured by ELISA technique and radio-immunological assay (RIA) respectively. Results The expression of GR both in the cortex and liver were obviously down-regulated at protein levels at 2-72 hours after TBI and increased slowly eight hours after injury. The GR in the liver showed no recovery at 72 hours after injury and that in the cortex was decreased continually at 24 hours after injury. Serum ACTH and cortisol levels were increased markedly compared with control group, when there were two different peaks in the observation curve.Conclusion There is glucocorticoid resistance both in the central and peripheral tissues after severe closed TBI in the awake mice, which changes in a time-dependent manner.

Objective To clarify the effect of myofunctional treatment on primary and mixed dentition malocclusion.Methods Twenty-seven children were selected,3 were in primary dentition among which 2 showed deep overbite.24 were in mixed dentition and presented crowding in anterior area among which 4 children combined with anterior crossbite,2 showed deep overbite and deep overjet.All the patients were treated with myofunctional trainer such as INFANT,T4K or I2N appliances according to their age and malocclusion type.The patients were instructed to wear the trainers for at least one hour a day keeping their lips together or overnight while sleeping.Muscle exercises were done when wearing the trainer during daytime.Results After 6-10 months,24 patients who were in good compliance had their teeth aligned,deep overjet and deep overbite corrected,and facial profile improved.Conclusions Myofunctional treatment is effective on primary and mixed dentition malocclusion.It is important to have patients' good compliance.

Objective To investigate the effect of defecation modes on constipation and anxiety in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods Sixty three conscious patients with acute hintracerebral hemorrhage were recruited in this study.Twenty five patients chose bedside closestool for defecation according their own intention and 38 chose in bed defecation.The incidence of constipation was documented and the severity of anxiety was evaluated with Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) at day 7,14,21 and 28 after admission in two groups.Results Patients using bedside closestool for defecation had significantly lower rate of constipation between day 14-28 after admission (x2 =63.0,P < 0.01) and lower SAS scores at day14,21 and 28 after admission (t =6.7,7.7 and 9.8,all P <0.01) than those with in bed defecation.Conclusions The bedside mode of defecation may improve constipation and anxiety in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes in the fibrinolytic system during and after open heart surgery performed with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the effect of epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) on fibrinolysis, postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.Methods Forty patients (24 males, 16 females) aged 17-43 yr undergoing valve replacement with CPB were randomized to receive EACA 200 mg?kg-1 (group A) or normal saline (group B) added to the priming solution. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.2 mg?kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg ? kg, fentanyl 10 ?g?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT = 10 ml?kg-1 , RR = 10-12 bpm, I:E = 1:2) after tracheal intubation. Blood samples were taken before skin incision (baseline) , 8 and 30 min on CPB, 10 min after protamine administration and 2 h after operation for determination of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, plasmin (Plm) activity and D-dimer. The amount of blood drained from chest and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation were recorded.Results (1) Group B (control group): PAI activity was maintained stable perioperatively. The t-PA activity and t-PA/PAI ratio increased significantly during operation but returned to the baseline value 2 h after operation. D-dimer level also significantly increased during and after operation. The Plm activity increased significantly at 8h on CPB and 10 min after protamine administration compared to the baseline value. (2) The t-PA activity and t-PA /PAI ratio were significantly lower in group A than in group B. The D-dimer level and Plm activity were also significantly lower in group A than in group B during and after operation. The amount of blood loss and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation was 40% and 37% less than that in group B.Conclusion Fibrinolytic system is activated during CPB as shown by the increase in plasminogen and t-PA/PAI ratio. EACA is effective in reducing postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion through inhibition of the activation of fibrinolytic system.

8.Study on Growth and Toxin Production of Microcystis aeraginosa Strain Under Different Conditions
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(04):-
Objective To study the impact of temperature, light, nitrogen and phosphorus on growth and microcystin-LR production of Microcystis aeraginosa strain under laboratory conditions. Methods M.aeraginosa strain was cultivated in BG-11 medium. Growth was determined by counting cell, while microcystin-LR was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results M.aeraginosa strain had a biggest growth rate at temperature of 25 ℃ and light intensity of 3 000 lx, while microcystin-LR production contents reached maximum at 20 ℃ and 5 000 lx respectively. Under the phosphorus-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa amount and mircrocystin-LR content increased by nitrogen concentration and reached the peak when the nitrogen concentration was 650.0 ?mol/L. But higher concentration of nitrogen could probably restrain the cell growth and toxin production. Under the nitrogen-fixed condition, M. aeraginosa strain grew slowly at phosphorus concentration of 1.43 ?mol/L, but had a higher growth rate when phosphorus concentration was 6.50 ?mol/L. No significant change was found with the increase of phosphorus concentration. And almost similar contents of microcystin-LR produced by M. aeraginosa were observed at different phosphorus concentrations. Positive correlations between total microcystin-LR concentrations and chlorophyll-a contents and M. aeraginosa cell densities were found. Conclusion The optimum conditions for growth and toxin production of M. aeraginosa are not the same. Phosphorus is a probable limitation nutrient factor, and a low concentration will satisfy the growth and toxin production of M. aeraginos. The N∶P atomic ratio at 100∶1 was determined as the optimum for growth and toxin production. The total microcystin-LR concentration can be forecasted by M. aeraginosa cell density or chlorophyll-a content.

Objective:To study the change of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) , interlukin-1?(IL-1?) and interluldn-6(IL-6) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) ,and analyze the relation between their levels and the severity of HIE. Methods :TNF-?,IE-? and IL6 in the plasma and in the supernatant of cultured peripheral blood mononuclearcytes(PBMC) were mesured in 50 neonates with HIE and 30 normal term neonates by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: TNF-?and IL-?plasma levels and the production by PBMC in neonates with FILE were markedly elevated than those in normal controls Levels of TNF-?,IL-?and IL-6 both in the plasma and the supernatant of PB-MC were much higher in acute stage of severe HIE compared with the control group and mild HIE, and plasma levels of TNF-a and IL-? were significantly decreased in convalescence stage, but IL-6 levels were still much higher than those in normal controls. Conclusion:TNF-? and IL-? plasma levels and the production by PBMC in neonates with I-LIE axe related to the severity of HIE, and IL-6 may participate in the repair of neurons after ischemic brain injuly. These cytokines can be indicators of the brain damage degree of IDE.
