Objective To study the effects of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) on hepatocyte apoptosis and mitochondrial damage,and investigate the effects of curcumin on MPT and the related mechanisms in septic rat.Methods Fifteen healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group,sepsis group and curcumin group,with 5 rats in each group.Septic rat model was reproduced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).The rats in sham group were flipped the cecum without perforation and ligation.The rats in the curcumin group were treated with curcumin 100 mg·kg-1·d-1 (dissolved in saline to 10 mL/kg) by oral gavage for 7 days,while the other groups were treated with normal saline.Tissue samples were harvested in each group at 12 hours after operation.Pathological changes in hepatic mitochondria were observed under electron microscopy,concentration of free calcium was examined with confocal laser scanning microscope.After Fluo-3/AM staining,protein and mRNA expression of active caspase-3,Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by Western Blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Under the transmission electron microscope,intact cell membrane,adqulis cytoplasm,and normal and clear mitochondrion was found in the sham group.Mitochondria in sepsis group swelled obviously with mitochondrial cristae broken or disappearance,unclear bilateral membrane structure,while the curcumin group showed much less pathological changes,with few mitochondria swell,and smear bilateral membrane structure.The fluorescence intensity index of sham group,sepsis group and curcumin group was raised successively (417.33 ± 15.88,772.95 ± 42.37,1 560.84 ± 160.78,respectively,F=184.149,P=0.000).The protein and mRNA expression of active caspase-3 and Bax had the highest level in sepsis group,followed by the curcumin group,and that in the sham group was the lowest [active caspase-3 protein (gray scale):1.698 ± 0.061,0.694 ± 0.045,0.246 ± 0.027,F=1 289.667,P=0.000; active caspase-3 mRNA (2-Δ△Ct):1.031 ±0.135,0.578 ± 0.144,0.183 ±0.036,F=66.958,P=0.000; Bax protein (gray scale):1.826 ±0.126,1.254 ±0.140,0.623 ±0.901,F=94.536,P=0.000; Bax mRNA (2-ΔΔCt):2.774 ±0.338,1.661 ±0.226,0.656 ±0.114,F=124.710,P=0.000],all of these values had statistical significance among the three groups (all P<0.01).While Bcl-2 protein and mRNA had the highest level in curcumin group and lowest level in the sham group [Bcl-2 protein (gray scale):0.716 ±0.091,1.328 ±0.147,1.656 ±0.104,F=84.918,P=0.000; Bcl-2 mRNA (2-△ΔCt):0.617 ±0.118,1.393 ±0.096,1.650 ±0.167,F=83.846,P=0.000].The protein and mRNA expressions of Bcl-2/Bax ratio were lowest in sepsis group,then sham group,and highest in curcumin group [Bcl-2/Bax protein (gray scale):0.726 ± 0.055,1.150 ± 0.043,1.333 ± 0.163,F=46.265,P=0.000; Bcl-2/Bax mRNA (2-Δ△Ct):0.505 ±0.041,0.944±0.097,1.006 ±0.168,F=12.211,P=0.001].Conclusions MPT can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and further cause hepatocyte apoptosis.Mechanism of effect of curcumin on MPT may be related to reduction of intracellular calcium concentration,promotion of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene expression,inhibition of caspase-3 activation and Bax gene.

Objective To discuss the correlation between tyre bursting and traffic accidents on highways. Methods A retrospective statistical analysis was carried out on traffic accidents resulted from tyre bursting on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen highway from 1998 to 2000. Results During three years, there occurred 2 484 cases of traffic accidents on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen highway, of which 848 cases resulted from tyre bursting, accounting for 34.14% (848/2 484). During a day, incidence from 10:00 to 16:00 was 55.54% (471/848), which was higher than that in any other time, and the highest incidence was at 14:00, accounting for 9.67% (82/848). During a year, incidence from April to September was 56.84% (482/848), higher than that in any other months. Considering the tyre factor, accidents resulted from burst of single right posterior tyre were 398 cases, occupying 46.93% (398/848) of the total, which was more than those resulted from burst of any other tyres. The second dangerous burst position was on the left posterior tyre, from which accidents reached 295 cases occupying 34.79% ((295/848)) of the total. Of all, 848 cases of tyre bursting accidents resulted in 12 deaths and 200 injuries, which accounted for 22.55% of the total death and wound (212/940). There were 58 cases of craniocerebral trauma, 32 chest trauma, seven abdominal injuries, 25 spinal cord injuries, four pelvic injuries, 52 branches injuries, 127 soft tissue injuries all through the body and 106 combined injuries. Conclusions Tyre bursting is a vital factor for traffic accidents on highways of South China. In order to effectively reduce traffic accidents on the highways, we must prevent overspeed driving, strengthen the regular check of the tyres and normalize corresponding management.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Methods:Totally 368 college students (176 males and 192 females )were surveyed with the College Student Adaptability (CSAI),University of Califomiaat Los Angels (UCLA)and Mobile Phone Addiction Index (MPAI).Then AMOS18.0 was used to establish structural equation modeling (SEM)among interpersonal adaptation,loneliness and mobile phone addiction,and test the mediating effect of loneliness on the relationship between interpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction in college students.Results:The MPAI scores were significantly higher in the low interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI less than 21 )than in the high interpersonal adaptation group (the score of CSAI higher than 32)(P<0.001).The scores of interpersonal adaptation were negatively correlated with scores of loneliness and mobilephone addiction (r =-0.71,-0.25,P﹤0.01).The scores of loneliness were positively correlated with scores ofmobile phone addiction (r =0.32,P ﹤ 0.01).College students'interpersonal adaptation did not have significantnegative predictability for mobile phone addiction (β=﹣0.08,P =0.32),but it had significant negative predictabilityfor loneliness (β=﹣0.71,P <0.001).Loneliness had significant positive predictability for mobile phone addiction(β=0.29,P <0.001).Conclusion:The results show loneliness completely plays a mediating effect betweeninterpersonal adaptation and mobile phone addiction.

[Objective] To compare the efficacy of interbody fusion with cage versus corpectomy and fusion with plate in treating adjacent two-level cervical spondylosis.[Method] Sixty patients were included in this study.All patients were randomly assigned to anterior interbody fusion with cage (AIFC) group or anterior corpectomy and fusion with plate (ACFP) group. The average follow-up period was 28 months for AIFC group,and 25 months for ACFP group. [Result] The average loss of lordosis angle, the lost correction of segmental height and the scores on the criteria of 40-score method were not statistically significant between these 2 groups. The lordosis correction, operative estimated blood loss, and operative time were statistically better in the AIFC group significantly . [Conclusion] The short-term results of AIFC and ACFP in treating adjacent two-level cervical spondylosis were satisfactory. The advantages of AIFC are the elimination of donor site complications, increasing more segmental lordosis, and reducing blood loss and operative time.

Objective To study the effects of tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate(TOCP) on mitochondrial membrane permeability in hen's nerve tissues and investigate the mechanism of the organophosphorus ester-induced delayed neurotoxicity(OPIDN).Methods Adult Roman hens were randomly divided into four groups,including three treated groups and one control group(24 in each group).The hens in the experimental groups were treated with TOCP by gavage at the single dosages of 185,375 and 750 mg/kg respectively.TOCP was dissolved in corn oil and administered at 0.65 ml/kg.The control hens received an equivalent volume of corn oil by gavage.The hens were sacrificed on the 1st,5th,15th and 21st day after treatment and the cerebrum,cerebellum,spinal cord were dissected and homogenized in ice bath.The mitochondria in these nerve tissues were extracted to determine the changes of the membrane permeability and membrane potential.Results Compared with the control group,no significant increase of the mitochondrial membrane permeability in the cerebrum was observed in treated groups.In the cerebellum,the membrane permeability in the 185 mg/kg group had no significant changes,while in the 375 and 750 mg/kg groups it increased significantly on the 1st and 5th day after TOCP treatment(P
