Objective:To investigate the effects of brain asymmetry on levels of IL-1?,IL-6 and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3(SOCS-3) in hypothalamus,to get better understanding of relationship between brain asymmetry and neuro-immuno-endocrine network at the molecular level.Methods:By using paw preference test,right-pawed,left-pawed,and ambidextrous mice model was established.After decapitation of the mice,hypothalamus was separated rapidly.Some samples were homogenized and used for detection of levels of interleukin-1?(IL-1?),interleukin-6(IL-6) by Enzyme-Linked-Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA).The other samples were applied to detect SOCS-3 expression level by RT-PCR.Results:(1)The level of IL-6 in hypothalamus:left-pawed were higher than right-pawed mice,there was significant difference in statistics( P 0.05).(3)The expression level of SOCS-3:the SOCS-3 expression of right-pawed showed higher than left-pawed mice in hypothalamus,revealing a significant difference( P

Objective To study the influence of hydrocortisone sodium succinct by intravenous infusion or continuous intravenous micro pumping on the vital signs,shock duration,blood glucose and mortality in the patients with severe sepsis secondary shock.Methods Ninety patients with septic shock treated in our hospital from June 2014 to September 2016 were selected and divided into the control group and observasion group by using the random number table method,45 cases in each group.The control group was given hydrocortisone sodium succinct 200mg/d by slow intravenous drip for 2h,while the observasion group was given hydrocortisone sodium succinct 8.33mg/h by continuous intravenous micro pumping.The two groups were treated for continuous 5 d.The blood glucose,hemodynamics and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results In the observasion group,the blood glucose indicators such as the time window of high blood glucose,LAGE,MBG and CV levels were lower than those in the control group,the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05).The hemodynamic indicators such as HR,CVP and MAP between the two groups before treatment and at 6,24 h and 5 d after treatment had no statistical difference between the two groups (P>0.05).The shock duration,ICU stay length,total hospital stay and 28 d mortality in the observasion group were lower than those in the control group,but the difference between the two groups had no statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Continuous intravenous micro pumping of hydrocortisone sodium succinct can stabilize blood glucose fluctuation range in the patients with septic shock,but the hemodynamic indexes and prognosis have no obvious improvement.

AIM: To investigate the influence of predator stress on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and IL-1?, IL-6 in mice with brain asymmetry. METHODS: By using paw preference test, right-pawed, left-pawed, and ambidextrous-pawed mice model were established. Mice with brain lateralization were exposed to their predator (cat). After acute and chronic predator stress by cats, EIA and ELISA were applied to detect plasma levels of corticosterone (CS), IL-1? and IL-6. RESULTS: (1) The level of plasma CS: in both acute and chronic predator stress group, right-pawed and ambidextrous mice had a higher level than that in their corresponding normal group (P

With new acupuncture and moxibustion as the study object, based on the basic composition of acupuncture-moxibustion theory, from 3 aspects of meridian-acupoint theory, acupuncture-moxibustion method theory and acupuncture-moxibustion treatment theory, under the background of western medicine, ZHU Lian's different opinions on theory and method of acupuncture and moxibustion were discussed. It was believed by ZHU Lian that the distribution of 14-meridians was approximately identical to that of nerves, so with modern neuroanatomy knowledge to understand the meaning of acupoint; the acupuncture function could be explained from the angle of neurophysiology. Clinical diagnosis and treatment method could be established by modern classification methods of diseases. ZHU Lian's cognition that was different from traditional theory and method of acupuncture and moxibustion was combined with updated physiology and anatomy knowledge at that time, and was involved with Pavlov's advanced nerve theory, so she firstly put forward the opinion that acupuncture therapy can't work without the involvement of cerebral cortex.

To providing evidence about nitrogen adequate application of Platycodon grandiflorum, the pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen on the growth, physiological metabolism and the quality of P. grandiflorum. The activity of NR, GS and SOD, POD and CAT were determined. And the nitrate and ammonium nitrogen content, photosynthetic characteristics, active components of P. grandiflorum were determined. The results showed that the nitrate nitrogen content and P. biomass reached its maximum value, when NH4(+)-N/NO3(-) -N was 0: 100, the activity of NR. The activity of GS was the highest at the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25:75 and ammonium nitrogen content was the highest at 75:25. The activity of SOD decreased and then increased with the increasing of NO3(-) -N. At the NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75, the activity of CAT had its maximum value and the content of MDA had the minimum value. At the same time, the content of platycodon D was the highest at this treatment. The studies had shown that different nitrogen forms and ratio had a significant effect on the characteristics of photosynthetic physiology, nitrogen metabolism and resistance adjustment, growth and the quality of P. grandiflorum. The NH4(+) -N/NO3(-) -N ratio of 25: 75 was a suitable ratio of nitrogen forms for the growth of P. Grandiflorum and accumulating the content of platycodon D.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of dexmedetomidine(DDM)under monitored anesthesia care(MAC)in oral and maxillofacial patients undergoing percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy(PDT).Methods:38 patients with oral and maxillofa-cial tumor undergoing PDT before surgery were randomly assigned into 2 groups(n =19).Patients in group D received a single-dose DDMof 0.5 μg/kg infused for 10 min;those in group Mreceived 2 mg of midazolam and 1 μg/kg of fentanil.Then all patients were given local anesthesia followed by PDT.MAP,HR and SpO2 were monitored before (T0 )and after drug administration (T1 ),at T2 (skin incision)and T3 (insert dilation catheter).Ramsay scorce,bucking,respiration depression and adverse cardiovascular reaction were recorded.All patients were followed up 24 h postoperatively for the observation of adverse recall of PDT.Results:Compared with T0 ,at T1 ,T2 MAP and HR in group D were lower,but MAP and HR at T3 in group Mwere higher(P <0.05).At T1 ,T2 and T3 ,MAP and HR in group D were significantly lower than those in group M(P <0.05).During operation,the incidence of bucking and respiration depression in group D was lower than that in group M(P <0.05).Conclusion:During PDT operation under MAC,a single-dose dexmedetomidine is effective in stablizing hemodynamics,reducing bucking and respiration depression.

Objective To examine the expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in human hepatitis B associated hepatocellular c arcinoma and to investigate its relationship with the occurrence and development of hepatocellularcarcinoma. Methods AQP1 and VEGF expressionsin the cancer tissues and AQP1 and VEGF levels in the serum were detected in 62 cases of hepatocellula carcinomaby immunohistochemistry and ELISA , respectively. Results The expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in the liver cancers were significantly higher than in the normal tissues (P<0.01). The higher expression was related to pathologic type,degrees of differentiation and lymph node metastasis, but not related to sex, age and TNM stages. In the serum of liver cancer, the concentrations of AQP1 and VEGF were significantly higher than those in the control group. Conclusion High expressions of AQP1 and VEGF in the patients with liver cancer may be correlated to the occurrence and development of liver cancer. Plasma levels ofAQP1 and VEGF may be more meaningful for the evaluation of clinical prognosis.

Aim To observe the effects of total flavones of hippophae rhamnoides L on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 expression in cardiac tissues of rats,and to explore the protective mechanism of total flavones of hippophae rhamnoides L on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Fifty rats were classified into 4 groups by using the random grouping principle:model group,losartan group,sindacon group of different doses and sham operation group.The myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 minutes and releasing then.The cardiac muscle tissue was stained by HE to observe its necrosis area and pathological changes as well as the expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1by immunohistochemistry method.Results HE sections showed that necrosis of cardiac muscle in rats was significantly relieved in sindacon group by using different doses compared with model group,and immunohistochemistry sections showed that the sindacon group using different doses decreased the expression of MMP-9 compared with the model group and increased the expression of TIMP-1.Conclusion Sindacon has protective effect on cardiac muscle after the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury,and its mechanism may be related to its inhibition of the MMP-9 and increasing TMPM-1 expression in cardiac muscle.
