The effects of Saussurea Flavone Glycoside A1(SFG) on CNS were studied by observing autonomous activity, cortical electric activity, and determing learning ability in mouse.Results showed that mouse autonomous activity decreased obviously (P

Objective:To investigate the effect and the mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA)on corpus striatum white matter injury in rats with focal cerebral ischemia(FCI).Methods:Forty-four specific-pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal group(n=10),a sham-operation group(sham group,n=10),and a modeling group(n=24)using the random number table method.The normal group was a blank control.In the sham group,only the vessels and vagus nerve were isolated without embolization.The FCI rat model in the modeling group was replicated using the middle cerebral artery occlusion embolization method.The 20 successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group and an EA group,with 10 rats in each group.Rats in the model group did not receive further treatment.Rats in the EA group received EA stimulation at Baihui(GV20)and the left Zusanli(ST36)24 h after the successful modeling,30 min each time,once a day for 14 d.On the 14th day of the experiment,rats in each group were scored for neurological deficits and then sacrificed,and brain tissues containing corpus striatum around the ischemic focus were paraffin-embedded from 5 rats in each group.Luxol fast blue(LFB)staining was used to detect damage changes in the white matter.The positive immunoreactive expression of myelin basic protein(MBP),myelin-associated growth inhibitor A(Nogo-A)and its receptor(NgR)in rat corpus striatum tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry staining,and then the protein expression of MBP,Nogo-A,and NgR in the corpus striatum tissue around the ischemic focus was determined by Western blotting.Results:Compared with the normal group and the sham group,the model group had a significantly higher neurological deficit score(P＜0.05)and fiber bundle injuries in the corpus striatum white matter,evidenced by a significantly lower mean optical density value of corpus striatum LFB staining(P＜0.05),a significantly lower MBP expression level(P＜0.05),and significantly higher Nogo-A and NgR protein expression levels(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the neurological deficit score was significantly lower(P＜0.05),the mean optical density value of LFB staining was significantly higher(P＜0.05),the MBP expression level was increased(P＜0.05),and the expression levels of Nogo-A and NgR proteins were decreased(P＜0.05)in the EA group.Conclusion:EA reduces the ischemia-induced corpus striatum white matter injury and improves neurological deficits.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Nogo-A/NgR activation.

Background:Irritable bowel syndrome( IBS ) is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders. Analyzing the regional differences of symptomatic profiles may provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of IBS. Aims:To preliminarily investigate the symptomatic characteristics of IBS patients in Fujian province,China for the reference of diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods:A total of 703 IBS out-patients based on the RomeⅢcriteria and presented to the gastroenterological clinic of 15 tertiary hospitals in Fujian Province,China from Jun. 2011 to Apr. 2012 were enrolled in a face-to-face survey. The questionnaire mainly included demographic data,course of the disease, and clinical symptoms. Results:In 703 IBS patients,the ratio of male to female was 1:1. 3,and the peak of age was 35-45 years(32. 4%). More than half of the patients were diarrhea-predominant IBS(IBS-D,58. 2%),while constipation-predominant IBS( IBS-C)accounted for 22. 6% of the patients. Abdominal pain/discomfort,abdominal distention and abnormal defecation,including diarrhea,constipation,feeling of incomplete defecation and mucous stool were the most important lower GI symptoms. In the four subtypes of IBS,the symptoms of mixed IBS( IBS-M)were most serious( P<0. 05). Compared with IBS-C,abdominal pain was more severe in IBS-D and IBS-M(P<0. 05),however,abdominal distention was more severe in IBS-C than in IBS-D(P<0. 05). About one third of the patients(32. 9%)were overlapped with upper GI symptoms,and the most common upper GI symptoms were postprandial fullness and eructation. Sixty-eight (9. 7%)patients were overlapped with functional dyspepsia. Conclusions:In Fujian Province,China,more than half of the IBS patients were IBS-D. The symptomatic profiles are different between different subtypes of IBS. Some of the IBS patients may be overlapped with upper GI symptoms or functional dyspepsia.

Methods Retrospective analysis of 9 patients with central region diastematia epilepsy admitted from June,2007 to August,2009.The characteristics of all patients' seizure symptom and EEG manifestation were analyzed using patients' medical history,video and EEG records.ResultsPatients with central region diastematia epilepsy had relatively long sezure history.The duration of seizure was commonly short,with frequent episode and no obvious intelligence impairment.The seizure was often accompanied with the hyperkinesia in the lower limbs.Scalp EEG showed discharges with low amplitude waves in the mean line area.The superhigh amplitude and regular rhythm slow sharp wave could be found in the diastematia cortex EEG.All patients had an Engel Class Ⅰ outcome after surgery.ConclusionThe seizure symptoms are characteristic in the patients with central region diastematia epilepsy,and some special manifestations can be found in different phase,wave amplitude,rhythm,lead array.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTW) phenotype and abnormal blood pressure in children and adolescents in Yinchuan City, Ningxia, and to provide scientific basis for early identification and prevention of hypertension. Methods: A cluster sampling method was adopted to select 1 566 children and adolescents in Yinchuan. All participants completed questionnaire survey, physical measurement and biochemical examination. Results: In general, after adjusting for age, smoking, drinking, and family history of hypertension, compared with the normal triglyceride normal waist (NWNT) phenotype, the enlarged waist (EW) and HTW phenotypes both increased the risk of abnormal blood pressure ( OR EW =2.62, 95% CI =1.87-3.67; OR HTW =3.97, 95% CI =2.30-6.86); the risk of abnormal blood pressure in boys with EW and HTW phenotypes was that of boys with NTNW phenotype, respectively 3.80 times (95% CI =2.35-6.15) and 3.32 times (95% CI =1.59-6.92) of girls EW and HTW phenotypes. The risk of abnormal blood pressure in girls with EW and HTW phenotypes was that of girls with NTNW phenotype, respectively 1.72 times (95% CI =1.06-2.82) and 4.62 times(95% CI =1.97-10.85). Conclusion The hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotypes among children and adolescents in Yinchuan is significantly correlated with increased risk of abnormal blood pressure. More attention should be paid to triglyceride level and waist circumference among children and adolescents.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the muscle mass index (MMI) and the aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in children and adolescents, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents. Methods: The current situation study design was adopted, and 1 622 children and adolescents aged 12-17 years old in Yinchuan City were selected by a cluster random sampling method. All subjects were subjected to questionnaire survey, physical examination, body composition determination and laboratory index testing. Results: When other variables were not adjusted, MMI was a risk factor for the aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors ( P <0.01). After adjusting for age, gender and BMI, MMI became a protective factor for CVRFs≥1 ( OR =0.74, 95% CI =0.62-0.89), compared with insufficient MMI, the risk of developing CVRFs≥1 with good MMI and sufficient MMI was 0.60(95% CI =0.46-0.79), 0.56(95% CI =0.37- 0.85 ) times. The risk of CVRFs≥2 was 0.54(95% CI =0.37-0.79), 0.51(95% CI =0.30-0.87) times, and similar results were found in boys ( P <0.05). Conclusion Under the same BMI level, muscle mass index is a protective factor for cardiovascular risk factor aggregation in children and adolescents. Physical exercise of children and adolescents should be emphasized to maintain the best muscle mass and weight.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR) and bone metabolism markers. Methods: By using the method of cluster sampling, a total of 1 084 adolescents aged 12 to 18 from one middle school in Yinchuan were investigated by questionnaire, physical examination and laboratory examination during sept. to Dec., 2018. Results: BMI, WC and WHtR were significantly negatively correlated with Ca (r=-0.10, -0.15, -0.15, P<0.05), and WC was negatively correlated with β-CTX(r=-0.06 P<0.05). After adjusting for age, sex and vitamin D supplementation, WC had significant effects on Ca and β-CTX(β=-0.33, -0.22, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between different types of obesity and the level of OC(P>0.05). The level of serum β-CTX in obese students was 1.93 times higher than that in normal students, Ca serum levels of obese students was 0.31 times higher than that in normal students that in abdominal obese students (defined as WC) was 0.54 times higher than that in normal students. Conclusion BMI, WC and WHtR were correlated with OC, β-CTX and Ca in adolescents in Yinchuan city, and WC was more closely related to Ca and β-CTX, suggesting that obesity has a negative effect on bone absorption.

Objective: To elucidate age and sex specific characteristics in fat free mass (FFM) among middle and high school adolescents in Yinchuan City, China, and to provide a scientific basis for healthy development, chronic disease prevention and intervention in children and adolescents. Methods: Using a convenient cluster sampling method, 1 175 middle and high school adolescents, aged 10 to 20 years old, from Yinchuan, China, were selected to participate in a questionnaire survey and physical examination, which involved body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA). Results: For adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, FFM and the fat free mass percentage (FFMP) of boys increased with age(from 39.78 to 52.63 kg; 77.51% to 83.80%, respectively), the age trends of the FFM and FFMP of body parts were in the similar pattern, and were significantly higher than those of girls(all P <0.05). In girls, the FFM reached a peak of 40.96 kg at 15 years old, and decreased slightly between the ages of 15 and 18 years, the age trends of the FFM of body parts were in the similar pattern, and the FFMP decreased with age (from 75.63% to 71.91 %). In addition, in girls, the age trends of the FFMP of left and right legs were the same as the general trend, while the FFMP of left and right arms increased with age. The FFMP of the trunk reached a minimum of 29.93% at 15 years old and increased from 15 to 18 years old(all P <0.05). Conclusion For middle and high school adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old in Yinchuan City, China, the distribution of FFM changed in accordance with age and gender differences, in accordance with the characteristics of the adolescents growth and development.
