Objective To study the effects of perinatal exposure to bisphenol A(BPA) on the expression of estrogen receptor ? and ? mRNA in the brain of F1 male offsprings. Methods Pregnant SD rats were given BPA at 2, 20, 100 mg/kg bw per day respectively from eleventh day of gestation throughout the whole lactation by gastric gavage until their pups were weaned on postnatal day 21, F1 male pups from each group were killed on postnatal day 21 respectively, the brain was removed for detecting the expression of estrogen receptor ? and ? mRNA by RT-PCR. Results BPA treatment caused a up-regulation of ER? mRNA and ER? mRNA relative expression in the brain,especially in the middle-dose and low-dose groups it was so obvious. Conclusion Perinatal exposure to BPA can cause a change of ER? mRNA and ER? mRNA expression in the brain of the male offspring,which may be a part of the mechanism of BPA induced brain development damage.

Objective:To survey the status of anxiety/depression and lifestyle among junior high school students and explore their relation to put preference for psychological health education.Methods:Totally 1597 junior high school students aged 10 to 17 years in Shang Haicity were surveyed.The Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7),Patient Health Questiormaire-9 items (PHQ-9) and Chinese Adolescent Lifestyle Scale (CALS),were used to assess anxious emotion,depressive emotion and lifestyle.Results:The rates of anxious emotion and depressive emotion were 16.4% and 17.2% respectively among students.Scores of GAD-7 and PHQ-9 were negatively correlated with all factor scores of CALS including eating habits,sleep status,health habits,learning habits,exercise,entertainment activities,interpersonal relationships,coping style and life satisfaction (-0.57 ≤ r ≤-0.15,Ps < 0.01).Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that the sleep status factor scores,life satisfaction and exercise factor scores of CALS could negatively predict scores of GAD-7 (β3 =-0.17,-0.15,-0.05;Ps < 0.05) and health habits positively predict scores of GAD-7 (β3 =0.08,P <0.001).Sleep status factor scores,life satisfaction factor scores and eating habits factor scores could negatively predict scores of PHQ-9 (β3 =-0.21,-0.16,-0.06;Ps < 0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that the junior high school students'depression and anxiety are related to their lifestyle.The emotion of depression and anxiety of students may be predicted by some factors in the lifestyle.

Methods Twenty male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two group: Twelve were atherosclerosis model (AS) group and eight were control group. Atherosclerosis model group were fed with high fat diet and control group were fed with ordinary diet. At 12th week, CVHI were measured in the common carotid artery with spectral analysis and the compliance of carotid was observed. Results In the AS group, the carotid artery maximal velocity (vmax) and minimal velocity (vmin) were significantly decreased (P

OBJECTIVE: To observe whether injection of medicine into low hydraulic resistance point along meridian brings about higher medicinal effect and to explore the efficacy of the theory that meridians are made up of channels featuring low hydraulic resistance by observing the diuretic effect of injecting furosemide or saline into the low hydraulic resistance point Shuifen (CV 9), vein and Zusanli (St 36) respectively. METHODS: Acute edema was induced in pigs by rapid intravenous injection of 2 000 ml normal saline. The pigs were divided into four groups: Shuifen (CV 9) injection of half dose furosemide group (SFF group), intravenous injection of full dose furosemide group (VF group), Zusanli (St 36) injection of full dose furosemide group (ZSLF group), and Shuifen (CV 9) injection of half dose normal saline group (SFS group). The accumulated urine quantity and the urine quantity generated in every 15-minute period were measured in each group respectively, every 15 minutes after injection, and the measurement lasted for two hours at one experiment. Each group involved eight times of experiments with one pig used for one experiment, which means the whole observation involved 32 times of experiments. RESULTS: The accumulated urine quantities observed in both SFF group and VF group were higher than those in the ZSLF group and the SFS group all through the measurement, showing significant differences during the period from the 15th minute to the 45th minute (P<0.05). But no significant difference was observed between the SFF group and the VF group during the whole 2-hour measurement (P>0.05). Analysis of urine quantity generated in every 15-minute period showed that diuretic effect climaxed during the 15th minute to the 30th minute in both SFF group and VF group. By contrast, ZSLF group reached diuresis climax during the 45th minute to 60th minute and no diuresis climax was observed in the SFS group all through the measurement. CONCLUSION: Injection of medicine into low hydraulic resistance point along meridian generates faster and more powerful medicinal potency, and this is likely to be applied to clinical practice. The theory that meridians are channels featuring low hydraulic resistance is important to the elucidation of meridians.

Objective To evaluate the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) singling pathway in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by zinc sulfate preconditioning in rats.Methods SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-280 g,aged 16-20 weeks,were used in this study.After the animals were anesthetized,their hearts were immediately removed and retrogradely perfused with an oxygenated K-H solution at 37 ℃ in a Langendorff apparatus.Forty isolated rat hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 each):control group (group C),I/R group,zinc sulfate preconditioning group (group Zn) and zinc sulfate preconditioning plus Nrf2/ARE singling pathway blocker luteolin group (group Zn+Lut).After 20 min of equilibration,the hearts were continuously perfused for 100 min in group C,the hearts were perfused with 4 ℃ St.Thomas′ cardioplegic solution before ischemia and then subjected to 40 min global ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion to establish the model of I/R in group I/R,200 μmol/L zinc sulfate 1.5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally,and 24 h later the model of I/R was established in group Zn,and in group Zn+Lut,the hearts were perfused for 3 min with K-H solution containing luteolin 50 μmol/L starting from the time point immediately before ischemia,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group Zn.Heart rate (HR),left ventricular end diabetic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and the maximum rate of increase of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax) were recorded at the end of equilibration and reperfusion.Coronary effluent was collected at the end of reperfusion to measure the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA).The expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1),quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1),superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and Nrf2 in myocardial tissues was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were increased at the end of reperfusion in I/R and Zn+Lut groups,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1,Nrf2 and SOD1 was up-regulated in I/R,Zn and Zn+Lut groups (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R,the HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly increased,LVEDP was decreased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were decreased at the end of reperfusion,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1,Nrf2 and SOD1 was up-regulated in group Zn (P<0.05).Compared with group Zn,HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were increased at the end of reperfusion,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1 and SOD1 was down-regulated(P<0.05),and no significant change was found in Nrf2 expression in group Zn+Lut (P>0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which zinc sulfate preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury is related to activation of Nrf2/ARE singling pathway in rats.
