Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2012;18(3):229-232
Objective To explore the effect of early intervention on myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) expression of white matterin neonatal rats with cerebral brain injury caused by intrauterine infection. Methods 17 days or 18 days pregnant Wistar rats were consecutivelyinjected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intraperitoneally. 100 neonatal rats born from LPS group were randomly divided into interventiongroup and non-intervention group with 50 in each group. Another 10 pregnant rats were injected with normal saline, 50 neonatal rats born from the the normal saline group were taken as control group. The intervention group received early intervention and rehabilitationtraining. All the groups underwent hanging test and modified BBB test on the 14th, 21st and 28th day. 6 rats in each group were tested by immunohistochemicalstaining to observe the MAG expression in white matter on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th day. Results The scores of hangingtest and modified BBB test were significantly higher in the control group than in the LPS group (P<0.01), and higher in the interventiongroup than in the non-intervention group (P<0.01). The expression of MAG was higher in LPS group than in the control group (P<0.01), innon-intervention group than in the intervention group (P<0.01). Conclusion Early intervention and rehabilitation training can improve themotor function in rats with brain injury and reduce the expression of MAG.

Objective:To study the feasibility of microarc oxide treatment on the enhancement of titanium-ceramic bonding strength. Method:Titanium samples in the size of 25 mm?3 mm?0.5 mm were prepared with smooth surface(group 1),rough surface(group 2) and microacrc oxide treated surface(group 3). Nickel-chromium alloy samples in the same size were prepared (group 4). The surface of the samples was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and dispersive spectrometry analysis. Then, the samples were bonded to porcelain. The bonding interface was observed by SEM. The bonding strength of the samples was measured by a three-point bending test according to ISO 9693.Results:Microarc oxide treated surface was rough and porous. The interface of microarc oxide treated surface bonded to porcelain was compact. The bonding strength(MPa) of the samples of group 1,2,3 and 4 to porcelain was 30.79?1.3,36.12?3.03,45.84?3.15 and 48.35?3.06 respectively(group 3 vs group 1 or 2 P0.05). Conclusion:The microarc oxide treatment on titanium can increase the titanium-ceramic bond strength.

OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between Tort Liability and Special Relief for Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). METHODS: An analysis was conducted by literature review, logical reasoning and comparative study etc. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: In different country or area, the relationship between Tort Liability and Special Relief for ADRs manifested as German’s risk-sharing type, Japan’s supplement type, America’s mixed type. Tort Liability put an emphasis on the assignment and prevention of loss, while Special Relief on the sharing and shifting of risks. The functions of the two were different yet not incompatible, and they should work together to make up for the loss. Meanwhile, we should regard the trend of gradual socialization of the tort law seriously.
