OBJECTIVETo establish social stress induced depression-like model in mice of C57BL/6 strain, and to assess its reliability using differenf behavioral methods.

METHODSTotally 20 male mice of C57BL/6 strain were divided into the normal group and the stress model group by random digit table,10 in each group. Another 10 CD1 mice were subjected to social stress. Mice in the normal control group received no stress, while those in the model group received social stress for 10 successive days. Behavioral assessment was performed using social interaction test (SIT), the elevated plus-maze (EPM) test, tail suspension test (TST), respectively. Serum cortisol level was detected by ELISA to assess the reliability of the model.

RESULTSIn the social interaction test when the social target (CDI mice) was inexistent, mice in the normal control group spent longer time in the social interaction zone and less time in the corner zone (P < 0.05); mice in the model group spent less time in the social interaction zone and more time in the corner zone (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal group when CDI mice existed, mice in the model group spent less time in the social interaction zone and more time in the corner zone (P < 0.05). Compared with the normal control group, the total times for entry into open arms, close arms, and the maze were obviously reduced (P < 0.05), and the proportion of entering open arms was significantly reduced (P < 0.05) in the model group. In TST, the motionless time within the last 4 mm was prolonged in the model group (P < 0.05). The serum cortisol level in the model group was obviously elevated (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSocial stress induced depression-like animal model in mice of C57BL/6 straineasquite reliable and possibly suitable to be used in integrative medicine research of combination of disease and syndrome model.

Objective:To investigate association between loneliness and depressive episode among rural older people.Methods:A total of 839 rural adults (aged over 60 years) from Liuyang in Hunan were enrolled by using multi-stage cluster sampling method.The Short-form of the UCLA Loneliness Scale,the Social Support Rating Scale,the Life Events Scale for the Elderly,Quality of Life Scale,and the Activity of Daily Living Scale were used to assess loneliness,the social support condition,the stimulating quantity of negative life events,the quality of life,and the abilities of daily life activities,respectively.The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-Ⅳ-TR Axis I Disorders questionnaire survey was performed by a face-to-face interview.Results:The prevalence rate of depressive episode among the rural older people was 6.8％.Multivariable analysis showed that the elderly who were with stronger loneliness were the risk factor of depression (OR=1.126,95％CI 1.038 to 1.221).Conclusion:Loneliness is positively associated with an increased risk of depressive episode.

Objective To investigate the effects of leflunomide(A77 1726) on the proliferation and apoptosis of human keratinocytes. Methods Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) of HaCaT cells was analyzed with crystal violet staining and immunohistochemistry. The moiphological change was assessed with hematoxylin and eosin staining. The changes of cell cycle and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytome-try. Result Epidermal proliferation was inhibited by leflunomide, at concentration 5 ?mol/L or more, which was begun after 24 hrs and manifested by PCNA positive cell decreasing. With the increasing of time or dosage, the anti- proliferation effect of leflunomide was significant. Meanwhile, the PCNA positive cell de-creased respectively. There was no PCNA positive cell while the drug concentration achieved 200 ?mol/L. Therefore, leflunomide significantly inhibited the proliferation of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. The morphological change and cell cycle change was found but no change of apoptosis rate was measured. Conclusion Leflunmide can inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cell, without the effect on its apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the species and drug resistance of pathogens causing bloodstream infections in hospitalized patients,and provide scientific evidence for antimicrobial use and control of healthcare-associated blood-stream infection.Methods From January 1 to December 31,2012,16 428 blood specimens were performed blood culture,pathogens were isolated and performed antimicrobial susceptibility testing.Results Of 16 428 blood speci-mens from 5 546 patients,384 (6.92%)were positive for blood culture,398 pathogenic isolates were detected,of which gram-positive bacteria,gram-negative bacteria,and fungi accounted for 23.62% (n=94),68.34% (n=272),and 8.04% (n=32)respectively,positive rate of blood culture were highest in 61-80 age group(8.26%), the top five departments of positive rate of blood culture were departments of burn,traditional Chinese medicine, cardiac intensive care unit,transplantation and traumatology;gram-positive cocci were highly susceptible to vanco-mycin,teicoplanin and linezolid,one Enterococcus faecium strain was found to be resistant to vancomycin;Among gram-negative bacilli,Enterobacteriaceae were highly susceptible to amikacin and carbapenems;drug resistance rates of Acinetobacterbaumannii and Pseudomonasaeruginosa to carbapenems was 70.97% and 35.90% respective-ly.Conclusion Gram-negative bacteria are the major pathogens causing bloodstream infection,positive rate of blood culture of elderly people is high.It is necessary to conduct regular surveillance on distribution and drug resistance of pathogens.

BACKGROUND: As the first long-acting atypical antipsychotics, the therapeutic effect and safety of risperidone microsphere have been proved. However, it may lead to serious pain due to the deep intramuscular injection.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pain levels by 12-week injection of rispeddone microsphere and to explore the relationship among dose and times of injection of risperidone microsphere and pain levels.METHODS: A total of 57 patients diagnosed as schizoprenia by DSM-Ⅳ, aged 18-65 years, were selected and injected risperidone microsphere once every 2 weeks with doses of 25, 37.5 and 50 mg. The pain levels were evaluated using 100 mm visual analogue scale during injection and at the injected sites. The effects of injected dose, injected frequency and injected sites on the pain were analyzed by the nurse questionnaire.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The pain levels among the different doses groups had no notable differences (F=1.35,P> 0.05), which demonstrated that the pain had no relationship with injected dose. However, the pain level of injected sites had correlation to injected doses. The pain level of the 50 mg group was greater than that of the 37.5 and 25 mg groups. Accordingly,patients who treated by high dose of risperidone microsphere should be intervened by nurses.

Objective To determine a possible role for Clara cell secretary protein(CCSP)during acute RSV infection.Method CCSP-deficient [CCSP (-/-)]and wild-type (WT) mice were intratracheally infected with RSV and the lung inflammatory response to RSV infection were assessed.Results RSV-F gene expression increased in the lungs of CCSP (-/-) mice compared to WT mice following RSV infection, consistent with increased viral persistence. Lung inflammation was significantly worsened in CCSP (-/-) mice compared to WT mice after RSV infection. Th2 cytokines and neutrophil chemokines increased in the lungs of CCSP (-/-) mice following RSV infection.Conclusion These findings suggest that lack of CCSP may promote the inflammatory and Th2 immune response to RSV infection.

Objective To investigate the role of electromyography(EMG) in diagnosis of nervous system diseases in children.(Met)-hods EMG tests were carried out in 354 patients with nervous system diseases,and the data and results of EMG tests were analyzed.Results One hundred and sixty-six patients′ results of EMG were abnormal.Among these abnormalities,36 cases were myogenic,47 cases were neurogenic,abnormalities of 69 cases were located in peripheral nerves,3 cases got positive in repetitive nerve stimulation(RNS),and 11 cases were on the borderline.In 36 myogenic patients,clinical diagnosis were as follow: progressive muscular dystrophy(PMD,18 cases),polymyositis(2 cases),mitochondrial encephalomyopathy(1 case), and the other 15 cases had no definite diagnosis.In 47 neurogenic patients,the diagnosis were spinal muscular atrophy(SMA,29 cases),sequela of poliomyelitis(2 cases),acute transverse myelitis(ATM,4 cases),and the other 12 patients had no definite diagnosis.In 69 cases of peripheral nerve abnormality,diagnosis were injury of brachial nerve(23 cases),hereditary motor sensory neuropathy(HMSN,2 cases),Guillain-Barre syndrome(GBS,9(ca)-ses),chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy(CIDP,1 case),injury of facial nerve(4 cases),injury of common(pe)-roneal nerve(6 cases),metachromatic leukodystrophy(MLD,1 case),and the other 23 patients had no definite diagnosis.Three patients who got RNS positive were all diagnosed myasthenia gravis(MG),and ocular type(1 case),general type(2 cases).Eleven patients whose EMG results were borderline were all diagnosed indefinitely.One hundred and eighty-eight patients had normal results of EMG test.The diagnosis of these patients were included ocular MG(21 cases),cerebral palsy(CP,5 cases),ATM(2 cases),polymyositis((1 case)),and some other nervous system diseases(21 cases),and the other 138 were diagnosed indefinitely.Conclusions 1.EMG plays an important role in definite diagnosis of PMD,SMA,poliomyelitis and nerve injury;2.EMG can provide clue or basis in the differential(dia)gnosis of nervous system diseases which involved lower motor unit;3.EMG test has very low positive results in children with MG;(4.EMG) has little help in diagnosis of diseases involved upper motor unit only.
