Exploring the functional network during the interaction between emotion and cognition is an important way to reveal the underlying neural connections in the brain. Sparse Bayesian network (SBN) has been used to analyze causal characteristics of brain regions and has gradually been applied to the research of brain network. In this study, we got theta band and alpha band from emotion electroencephalogram (EEG) of 22 subjects, constructed effective networks of different arousal, and analyzed measurements of complex network including degree, average clustering coefficient and characteristic path length. We found that: (1) compared with EEG signal of low arousal, left middle temporal extensively interacted with other regions in high arousal, while right superior frontal interacted less; (2) average clustering coefficient was higher in high arousal and characteristic path length was shorter in low arousal.

Objective To explore the feasibility and effect of the multivariate integration teaching in clinical nursing teaching, improve the shortcomings of the traditional single teaching, and enhance the quality of clinical teaching and nursing students' satisfaction. Methods 117 clinical nursing students of the Department of Rheumatoid Immune Kidney of the Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical Uni-versity were chosen as the subjects and were divided into two groups, and 57 nursing students who practiced in the Department of Rheumatoid Immune Kidney from 2013 to 2014 were recruited to the experimental group to receive multivariate integration teaching method, with another 60 students who practiced in the Department of Rheumatoid Immune Kidney from 2012 to 2013 as control group to receive the traditional single model teaching method. Two groups of nursing students were given the unified theory test and clinical skills exam-ination as well as the evaluation of comprehensive quality and satisfaction survey. SPSS 20.0 software was used to give the general statistical description of the theoretical results, operating results, comprehensive quality, satisfaction and other measurement data. Examination results were expressed by x±s. t test, rank sum test was used for statistical analysis and the test level was α=0.05. Results Theoretical result of the experimental group was (96.283±2.330), operating result was (93.883±3.173), the compre-hensive quality evaluation result was (46.133±2.111), and satisfaction degree was (45.033 ± 5.966). Theo-retical result of the control group was (87.850 ± 4.953), operating result was (84.333±5.011), the com-prehensive quality evaluation result was (35.650 ±3.804), and satisfaction degree was (33.683 ±7.101). Conclusion Multi-variate integration teaching method is conducive to the cultivation of nursing students' clinical thinking and comprehensive quality, and can improve their ability to communicate with patients and enhance their self-confidence. Therefore it is an effective teaching method, worthy of popularization and application in all departments.

Objective To study the effect of caveolin-1 on renal injury and the expression of tight junction proteins in MRL/lpr mice kidney.Methods The mice were divided into 4 groups:5 mice in the normal control group (BALB/c mice);the MRL/lpr lupus mice (n=18) were randomly divided into the MRL/lpr group in which 6 mice were included;the negative control group in which 6 mice were included;the caveolin1 transfection group in which 6 mice were included.The changes of urine protein,the levels of urea (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected.The expressions of claudin-5,occludin,ZO-1 and caveolin-1 protein were determined by western bloting.Analysis of variance was used to determine statistical significant differences between the two groups.A significance level of 0.05 was considered as signigicant.Results Compared with the control group,24 h urine protein [(2 894±437) mg,(412±72) mg],BUN [(8.7±1.5) mmol/L,(6.9±0.4) mmol/L],Cr [(106±22) μmol/L,(85±4) μmol/L] were significantly increased,level of caveolin-1 protein increased (265±17,61±6),the level of occludin (114±12,190±12),claudin-5 (60±5,80±6) and ZO-1 (98±11,206±15) protein decreased in the MRL/lpr group (P＜0.05).After caveolin-1 transfection,the levels of urinary protein [(1 253±249) mg,(2 894±437) mg],BUN [(6.5±1.3) mmol/L,(8.7±1.5) mmol/L],Cr [(78±17) μmol/L,(106±22)μmol/L] were significantly decreased,and the levels of occludin (218±16,114±12),claudin-5 (87±6,60±5)ZO-1 (313±17,98±11) were increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of caveolin-1 protein in the renal tissues of lupus nephritis increases.Caveolin-1 can reduce the expression of tight junction proteins and contribute to progres-sion of lupus nephritis.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypoxia/reoxygenation on endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods: Neonatal rat cardiac myocytes in primary culture were exposed to hypoxia for 5.5 hours and subsequently reoxygenation for 2-24 hours. Western blot and RT- PCR were applied to monitor the expression change of GRP78(glucose regulated protein 78). 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG) was the positive control of this study. Then Western blot and RT- PCR were used to examine the expression of GRP78. Results: Cell viability was decreased obviously after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Compared with untreated cells, the GRP78 content of the cells had increased significantly in the hypoxia/reoxygenation cells. The level of GRP78 protein and mRNA elevated from the points of 2 hours to 24 hours after reoxygenation, and increased most obviously at the point of 4 hours after reoxygenation.(4 hours: protein level 142% of the control, mRNA level 200%). 2-DG could induce the increasing expression of GRP78 in a concentration-dependent manner from 10-50 mmol/L. Conclusion: Hypoxia/reperfusion can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat cardiomyocytes.
