ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of isoflurane anesthesia on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) in neonatal rat hippocampus.MethodsForty-eight SD rats of both sexes,aged 7 days,weighing 12-17 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =24 each):control group (group C) and isoflurane anesthesia group (group Ⅰ).In group Ⅰ,the rats were exposed to2.5％ isotlurane for 3 min and then 1.5％ isoflurane was inhaled for 4 h,while in group C the rats were exposed to air for4 h.Arterial blood samples were collected immediately after anesthesia for blood gas analysis and for determination of the blood glucose concentration.Five rats in each group were sacrificed at 0,6,24 and 48 h after anesthesia (T1-4) and hippocanpi were removed for determination of the expression of potassiumchloride cotransporter 2 (KCC2),potassium-chloride cotrmsporter 1 (NKCC1),BDNF and p-ERK by Western blot.NKCC1/KCC2 ratio was calculated.ResultsAcid-base imbalance,hypoxemia and glycopenia were not found immediately after anesthesia in both groups.Compared with group C,KCC2 expression was significantly down-regulated and NKCC1/KCC2 ratio was increased at T3 and T4,and the expression of BDNF and p-ERK was dewn-regnlated at T1 and T2 in group Ⅰ (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in NKCCI expression at each time point between groups Ⅰ and C ( P ＞ 0.05 )、ConclusionIsoflurane anesthesia delays the neuronal development in neonatal rat hippocampus through down-regulating the expression of BDNF and p-ERK.

Objective To study the diagnostic value of MR coronal iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation(IDEAL) water imaging in the far later lumbar disc herniation(FLLDH).Methods A retrospective analysis of pre-operative routine CT axial imaging and MPR post-processing,conventional MR axial plane,sagittal plane and IDEAL imaging was performed in 10 patients with pathologically FLLDH.The above images were observed to find whether it could clearly show the spatial relationship outline of the nucleus pulposus and the nerve root,including the number of affected nerve root(1 or 2),and the compressed part(dorsal root ganglion,postganglionic nerve root or preganglionic nerve root),and the morphological changes of the compressed nerve root(distortion,thinning,enlargement),and were compared with surgical results.Results Surgery showed 2 cases with extra-intervertebral foramen herniation,2 cases with intra-intervertebral foramen herniation,6 cases with mixed herniation.Nine cases involved 1 nerve root,and 1 case involved 2 nerve roots.The conventional CT axial plane could roughly show the local relationship between nucleus pulposus and the nerve root.On conventional CT axial plane,9 cases were diagnosed correctly but 1 case of herniation of extra-intervertebral foramen shifting cephalic to the lower vertebral level was missed.Seven cases of the compressed nerve root were identified with difficulty,2 cases showed obliteration of the fat space and displacement of the nerve root.The spatial relationship of the nucleus pulposus and the nerve root was more visualized by CT MPR images than conventional CT images,but the image was less clear and it could not display the full view.Ten cases on CT MPR images were diagnosed correctly.Nine cases involved 1 nerve root,and 1 case involved 2 nerve roots,the image finding was obliteration of the fat space.Eight cases involved distortion of the compressed nerve root,3 cases involved thinning of the compressed nerve root,1 case involved thickening of the nerve root,6 cases were with no change or no confirmed diagnosis.MR regular scans could roughly show the local relationship of the nucleus pulposus and the nerve root and it is superior to the conventional CT axial scanning.On the conventional axial plane,7 cases of the compressed nerve root were identified with difficulty,3 cases showed obliteration of the fat space and displacement of the compressed nerve root.On the sagittal plane through the intervertebral foramen:5 cases of mixed herniation and 2 cases herniation of intra-intervertebral foramen showed intervertebral disc into the intervertebral foramen,with displacement or annihilation of the compressed nerve root.Two cases of extra-intervertebral foramen herniation were without positive findings.On MR coronal IDEAL water imaging,it could clearly and accurately show the spatial relationship of the nucleus pulposus and the nerve root.It is superior to the conventional CT axial image,CT MPR image and the conventional MR scanning.Ten cases were diagnosed correctly.Four cases were identified as compressed DRG,5 cases were identified as compressed postganglionic nerve root,1 case was identified with compressed L4 postganglionic nerve root and compressed L5 preganglionic nerve root.Ten cases were all identified with distortion of the compressed nerve root,6 cases were identified with the compressed thinning nerve root,and 2 cases with the compressed thickening nerve root.The other nerve roots were not compressed.Conclusion MR coronal IDEAL water imaging is a good tool to show the spatial relationship of nucleus pulposus and the nerve root in FLLDH patients,and it possesses diagnostic value.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Yangyin Shengjin Decoction (YYSJD) on hemorheological parameters and coagulation factors in model rabbits with syndrome of excessive heat consuming body fluid and blood stasis. METHODS: Rabbit model with syndrome of excessive heat consuming body fluid and blood stasis was produced. The effects of YYSJD on the blood viscosity, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hematocrit, platelet aggregation rate, prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), kaolin partial thromboplastin time (KPTT), fibrinogen (Fg), thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)), and 6-keto-prostaglandin F(1alpha) (6-keto-PGF(1alpha)) in the model rabbits were observed. RESULTS: YYSJD decreased the whole blood viscosity and hematocrit, inhibited the platelet aggregation, prolonged PT, TT and KPTT, and reduced the content of Fg. It also regulated the balance between TXB(2) and 6-keto-PGF(1alpha). CONCLUSION: YYSJD can promote the blood circulation, adjust the blood agglutinating function, and decrease the formation of thrombus. This is one of the pharmacological mechanisms of the therapeutic method of "nourishing yin to promote blood circulation" in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine for seasonal febrile diseases.
