Objective ToobservetheeffectsofNaokangⅡ,atraditionalChinesemedicineon spatial learning and memory abilities and hippocampal neurogenesis in rats with cerebral ischemia. Methods Atotalof54SDratsweredividedinto6groupsaccordingtothedigitalrandommethod:a control,a sham operation,a model,a low-dose,a medium-dose,and a high-dose NaokangⅡ group (the low-,medium-,and high-dose groups were 5,10,and 20 times of adults (n=9 in each group). A rat model was induced by ligate the bilateral common carotid arteries permanently. The bilateral common carotid arteries were only isolated but not ligated in rats of the sham operation group. The rats in the control group were not given any treatment. After modeling,the rats in the treatment groups were treated with NaokangⅡ. The rats in the control,sham operation,and model groups were given equal volume of isotonic saline (2 ml). Morris water maze test and space search experiment were used to evaluate the learning and memory abilities in rats 9 weeks after modeling. Immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemical methods were used to observe proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Western blot was used to detect the expression of autophagy related protein Beclin-1 and LC-3Ⅱ. Results (1 )The escape latencies of the model group from 1 to 5 days were 100 ± 13,98 ± 13,82 ± 14,72 ± 15,and 46 ± 7 s,respectively. They were significantly longer than those of the sham operation group and the control group (all P<0. 05). The search distances were 1239 ± 127,1011 ± 122,959 ± 123,553 ± 66,and 407 ± 29 cm,respectively. They were significantly increased as compared with those of the sham operation group and control group (all P<0. 01). Both the escape latencies and search distances of the rats in the Naokang Ⅱ low-,medium-,and high-dose groups were significantly shorter than those of the model group (P<0. 05). The escape latencies on the fifth day were 20 ± 6,19 ± 8,and 15 ± 6 s,respectively,and the search distances were 234 ± 38, 297 ± 23,and 99 ± 22 cm,respectively. Nine weeks after modeling,the quadrant search time on the original platform in the rats of the model group was 30 ± 9 s,it was significantly shorter than that of the sham operation group (P<0. 01). The quadrant search time on the original platform of the Naokang Ⅱ low-, medium-,and high-dose groups were 34 ± 6,38 ± 8,and 40 ± 10 s,respectively. They were significantly longer than those of the model group (P <0. 01). (2)Nine weeks after modeling,the results of immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry showed that the number of BrdU-positive cells and the Nestin positive cells in hippocampal dentate gyrus of the model group were higher than those of the control group and the sham operation group (P<0. 05). The number of BrdU-positive cells and Nestin positive cells of Naokang Ⅱ each dose group were significantly higher than those of the model group (P<0. 05). The expression of LC-3Ⅱand Beclin-1 in the model group was significantly higher than those in the control and sham operation groups (P<0. 01). The expression of LC-3Ⅱ in the medium- and high-dose groups was 143 ± 9 and 129 ± 9 respectively,and the expression of Beclin-1 was 139 ± 10 and 124 ± 7 respectively, andtheyweresignificantlylowerthanthemodelgroup(P<0.01).Conclusion NaokangⅡcanimprove the cognitive function in rats with cerebral ischemia,promote neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus,and inhibit autophagic cell death.

Objective:To investigate the public attitudes towards violence incidents from the perspective of in-ternet users, by the means of collecting the hospital violence incidents on the internet. Methods:Selected 7 cases of typical hospital violence and divided those comments into three categories, namely,support the medical side,support the patient side and other. The proportions of all kinds of attitudes were analyzed. Summarize the in-centives of hospital violence and analyze the attitudes of internet users from the perspective of social psychology. Results:Internet users had different attitudes to these 7 cases of hospital violence incidents. The proportion of support the medical side was from 0 . 66% to 95 . 82%, and the proportion ofsupport the patient side was from 0. 18% to 81. 25%. This was mainly due to the in-group favoritism, stereotypes, moral judgment and emotional tendencies of internet public opinion and media-induced and other factors. In internet users' view, the low profes-sional ethical quality is considered the most important incentives, and the proportion was 43. 05%. Conclusions:The tendency of the media coverage has an important influence on the attitude of internet users. Policy makers should correctly treat with the two sides of network public opinions, the hospitals should improve the ability to re-spond to public opinion, the media should regulate coverage and publicity.

Recently, more systemic reviews and randomized controlled trials were published to prove the effectiveness of TCM,and some of those were included by Cochrane Library. But due to the potential selective reporting bias and publication bias, few trials were included in the meta analysis, which failed to prove the evidence for the TCM treatment. The difference of reported outcomes comes to the big problem of the comparison between interventions. Such problem of difference was gradually brought to the attention. Therefore, Core Outcome Sets(COS), which stands for that the minimum standardized outcome set that must be repoted, may be the solusion to that problem. In this research we've introduced the formation and development of core outcome sets in TCM.
