Objective To investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on spatial learning,memory and the expression of hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in rats after mild traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into group T (n =10,undergoing TBI modelling operation and 4 weeks' treadmill exercise training beginning at 48 h after the operation),group C (n =10,undergoing TBI modelling operation and no exercise training) and group N (n =10,undergoing sham operation and no exercise training).Morris water maze(MWM)was used to test rats' abilities of spatial learning and memory.The number of BDNF-positive cells in the hippocampus was measured with immunohistochemistry.Results In the orientational navigation test,the escape latency period was gradually shortened for rats in all groups.At the second training week,the average time of group T(88.54 ±5.73 s) became shorter than that in group C (91.45 ± 8.91 s).At the fourth week,however,the difference [(55.33 ± 6.77 s) vs (74.53 ± 6.85 s)] was significant(P ＜ 0.01).Group N (88.44 ±7.79 s,79.52 ± 8.02 s,69.54 ± 10.14 s and 62.49 ± 7.22 s respectively) also improved significantly more than group C (98.99 ± 6.84 s,91.45 ± 8.91 s,79.65 ± 12.47 s and 74.53 ± 6.85 s respectively) from week 1 to 4 (P ＜ 0.01).The average number of times of passing through the platform area of group N in four weeks (3.00 ± 0.54,3.38 ± 0.74,4.38 ± 1.06 and 6.00 ± 0.76 respectively) and group T from the second week on(3.25 ± 1.28,5.00 ± 0.93 and 5.88 ± 0.99 respectively) were significantly higher than that of group C (1.25 ± 0.71,1.50 ± 0.54,2.13 ± 1.25 and 3.00 ± 0.54 respectively) accordingly (P ＜ 0.01).At the week four,the average number of BDNF-positive cells in group T(128.56 ± 7.93) were significantly larger than that in group C and group N (P ＜ 0.05),with no significant difference was noted between group N and group C (P ＞0.05).Conclusions Treadmill exercise could improve the spatial learning and memory of rats after mild traumatic brain injury.This may be related with the up-regulation of expression of BDNF in the hippocampus.

Abstract: Objective　To explore the carrying status of four common deafness genes and mutations on 10 loci in newborns in Hainan, and to analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of deafness genes and their loci, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating neonatal deafness gene screening strategy and promoting children's hearing health in Hainan. Methods　Newborns born in Hainan from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. The demographic characteristics of the research objects were collected. At the same time, the plantar blood of newborns was collected, and multiplex PCR amplification and directed hybridization combined with high-throughput sequencing technology were applied to detect 10 mutation loci on 4 common deafness genes. T-test or chi square test was used to process the data. Results　A total of 7 124 newborns were included in the study through informed consent, 219 cases of deafness gene mutation were detected with the detection rate of deafness gene of 3.07%. The detection rates of GJB2, SLC26A4, MT-RNR1 and GJB3 were 1.56% (111/7 124), 1.18% (84/7 124), 0.21% (15/7 124) and 0.11% (8/7 124) respectively. Among the 10 loci of the four genes, the positive detection rate of c.235delC locus of GJB2 was the highest, which was 1.38% (98/7 124), followed by c.919-2A>G of SLC26A4 (0.87%, 62/7 124); 2.63% (113/4 289) of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene; in terms of gene type, the detection rate of GJB2 gene in newborns who failed the hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed the hearing screening [2.23% (63/7 124) vs 1.12% (48/7 124)，P<0.01]; in terms of gene loci, the detection rate of c.235delC locus in newborns who failed hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed hearing screening [2.09% (59/7 124) vs 0.91% (39/7 124)，P<0.01]. Conclusion　The most common deafness genes types in Hainan were GJB2 and SLC26A4; The most common gene mutation sites were c.235delC and c.919-2A>G; 2.63% of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene, among which the high-risk newborns with MT-RNR1 and GJB3 genes were found. Therefore, hearing screening should be combined with deafness gene screening to improve the detection rate of children at high risk of hearing loss.

Objective Laboratory tests of yeast, with their disadvantages of long identification, complicated operation, and low positive rate, cannot meet the needsof rapid diagnosis and timely treatment.This studyinvestigated the feasibility ofapplying matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF-MS) in rapid identification and clinical isolationof yeast strains. Methods A total of 120 clinical non-repetitive isolates were collected from clinical culture samples and identified by MALDI-TOF-MS and VITEK 2-Compact/API, respectively.The discordant results were resolved by ITS gene sequencing. Results Of the 120 yeast isolates analyzed, 117 (97.5%) were correctly identified at the species level by MALDI-TOF-MS, 1(0.8%) misidenti-fied, and 2 ( 1.7%) unidentified.ITS gene sequencing of the 3 isolates showed the coincidence rate to be 0( 0/3) for MALDI-TOF-MS and Vitek 2-Compact/API. Conclusion MALDI-TOF-MScan be used as a rapid, accurate, and inexpensive tool for the identification of clinical yeast strains.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of serum concentration of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium after thyroid surgery and compare the changes among different modes of operation. MethodsFrom Aug. 2006 to Dec. 2009, 470 patients accepted thyroid surgery. The serum concentration of PTH and calcium in different groups was measured and compared before and 1 day after surgery. According to the extent and similarity of the surgery, patients were classified into 7 groups and they were compared in terms of postoperative changes of PTH and serum calcium. Statistical analysis was performed. ResultsThe serum concentration of PTH and calciurn decreased significantly after surgery in all patients except for those receiving unilateral and bilateral partial thyroidectomy. Compared with unilateral lobectomy, surgeries such as bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy, unilateral thyroidectomy with contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy, bilateral near-total thyroidectomy and total thyroidectomy resulted in more dramatic decreases of serum concentration of PTH and calcium and higher incidence of hypocalcemia ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The comparison between patients receiving CLND or not had the same result. Conclusions Almost all kinds of thyroid surgery affect the parathyroid function. The wider the surgery, the higher the possibility of postoperative hypoparathyroidism. The indications and criteria of different types of thyroid surgery are essential for hypoparathyroidism prevention. In some cases, vitamin D and calcium are recommended for preventive purpose.

Objective To investigate the effects of Yangxueqingnao Granule on the proliferation and differentiation of endogenous neural stem cells and their neuroprotective mechanism after brain ischemia. Methods Cerebral ischemia was induced in rats by temporary middle cerebral artery occlusion. Ischemic animals received Yangxue Qingnao Granule at high and low doses at days 3,7, 14,and 21 after MCAO. Neurological score and TTC staining were used to assess the neurological deficits and the volume of cerebral infarction, respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Brdu and Nestin expression in the subventricular zone(SVZ)and hippocampal dentate gyrus subgranular zone(SGZ)region. Results The rats in MCAO control group, low dose group and high dose group showed varying degrees of neurological def-icits and the volume of cerebral infarctions. The neurological defect scores and volume of cerebral infarction were signifi-cantly different at different time points in each group ( P<0.01). 2. The mean fluorescence intensity values of Brdu posi-tive cells or the Nestin positive cells in SVZ and SGZ regions were significantly different ( P< 0.01) at different time points after treatment for 3,7,14 or 21 days. The mean fluorescence intensity values of Brdu positive cells or the Nestin positive cells in SVZ and SGZ regions were significant different among low dose group, high dose group and MCAO con-trol group. The mean fluorescence intensity values of Brdu positive cells or the Nestin positive cells in SVZ and SGZ re-gions were significantly different among low dose group, High dose group and control group. High dose group significantly increased the mean fluorescence intensity values of Brdu positive cells or the Nestin positive cells in SVZ and SGZ re-gions. Conculsions Yangxue Qingnao Granule is able to promote the functional recovery and reduce the volume of cere-bral infarction in ischemic rats. Yangxue Qingnao Granule can enhance the proliferation and differentiation of endoge-nous neural stem cells in ischemic rats.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of tuina in rehabilitation following total hip replacement. Methods: 60 cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. Cases in the treatment were treated with combined mina and rehabilitation, while cases in the control group were treated with rehabilitation alone. All treatment retained for two weeks. The results were observed 7 d, 2 weeks and 6 weeks following the total hip replacement using Harris scale and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA).Results: For Harris scale, there were significant intra-group differences in different time frames (P＜0.05); there were no statistical differences between the two groups 1 d, 7 d and 6 weeks following the total hip replacement (P＞0.05); and there were statistical differences between the two groups 2 weeks following the total hip replacement. For HAMA scale, there were significant intra-group differences in different time frames (P＜0.05); there were no significant differences between the two groups 1 d following the total hip replacement; and there were substantial differences between the two groups 7 d, 2 weeks and 6 weeks following the total hip replacement. Conclusion: In a given unit time, combined mina and rehabilitation is superior to rehabilitation alone in improving the patients' post-operative pain, articular range of motion and anxiety.
