Objective To investigate neural correlates of the generation,execution and inhibition of motor intention. Methods Behavioral performance and event-related potentials (ERP) of 14 participants were recorded when they performed a two-staged Go-Nogo task. At the stage of intention preparation,three kinds of the "what" cues were presented separately to the participants : (1) to press a response key by the left or the right hand (the instructed) ,(2) to decide freely which hand will be used (the free) ,(3) to wait for the second cue (the control). At the stage of intention execution,the "whether" cue suggested the participants execute (Go) or withdraw (Nogo) the previous intention either voluntarily or forcedly. Results The interaction effect between the "what" and the "whether" was significant(F(2,26) = 8.262, P=0.002). The forced responses were faster than those of voluntary action under both the instructed condition ((468.52 ±105.87)ms vs (546.67 ±146.33)ms) and the control condition ((536.78 ± 83.28) ms vs (589.75 ± 140.80) ms). No significant difference was found for the free condition((538.71 ± 127. 39) ms vs (561. 44 ± 146. 51) ms). At the stage of intention preparation,significant ERP effects between the instructed intention and the freely intention were revealed in bilateral frontal regions (150~200 ms) , frontoparietal area (300~700 ms)and right temporal area. At the stage of intention execution,ERP effects between voluntary inhibition and voluntary action were observed in left prefrontal area (160~220 ms) ,fro-nto-cento-parietal area and right frontoparietal area. (300~550 ms). Conclusion The motor intention may be generated in the prefrontal area and maintained in the frontoparietal network. The left prefrontal and fronto-centro-parietal areas inhibit intention in the early stage and the right frontoparietal area involves response inhibition lately.

Objective To study the effects of tacrolimus(Tac) concentrations on the number of NK cells and receptor expression in peripheral blood of renal transplantation receptors.Methods A total of 60 first-time kidney transplantation recipients in our institute from Dec.2007 to July 2009 were followed up.Tac maintenance immunosuppressive therapy was given to all recipients.The recipients were divided into low-concentration Tac group (6.84 + 1.72μg/L,n =30) and highconcentration Tac group ( 11.88 + 2.59 μg/L,n =30) according to concentrations of Tac.Twenty healthy volunteers served as controls.Before and 6 months after operation,concentrations of Tac were analyzed by using micro particle immunoassay chemiluminescent method.NK cells and their receptors (CD85j,CD158d,CD94 and NKG2D) were detected by using flow cytometry.The concentrations of soluble HLA-G5 were detected by using ELISA.Results The number of NK cells in lowconcentration Tac group and high-concentration of Tac group preoperatively was significantly reduced as compared with control group (P < 0.05 ). The percentage and number of NK cells in low concentration Tac group and high-concentration Tac group at 6th month after operation were significantly reduced as compared with control group (P<0.05).The number of NK cells in lowconcentration Tac group was significantly greater than in high-concentration Tac group (P< 0.05).There was no significant differende in the expression of CD85j,CD158,CD94 and NKG2D before operation between two groups(P>0.05).The expression of CD85j and CD158d in two groups was increased,but that of CD94 and NKG2D was decreased at 6th month post-transplantation as comapred with that preoperation.In low-concentration Tac group,the expression of CD85j and CD158d was increased as compared with that in high-concentration Tac group (P<0.05 ).Spearman correlation analysis revealed that the CD85j and CD158d expression had a positive correlation with sHLA-G5(P<0.01 ),but the NKG2D had a negative correlation with sHLA-G5(P<0.01 ).Conclusion There was correlation between the concentrations of Tac and NK cells count and NK receptors. Low concentrations of Tac can safely and effectively protect kidney function.The number of NK cells andtheir inhibitor receptors are increased in the recipients with low concentration of Tac.

Objective To evaluate the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its receptors upon the proliferation of CD8+T cells.Methods The splenic CD8+T cells of Balb/c mice were obtained by CD8+f cell magnetic bead sorting kit.Under the effect of CD3/CD28-activated magnetic bead,CD8+T cells were stimulated by different concentrations of GABA.5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling and flow cytometry were performed to detect the proliferation of CD8+T cells.The expression levels of GABA-A and GABA-B receptor before and after CD8+T cell activation were compared by fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Result Flow cytometry result revealed that GABA could inhibit the proliferation of activated CD8+T cells,manifested as significant decrease in the quantity of CD152+CD8+T cells.Fluorescent quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that GABA-A receptor subtypes α2,α6 and GABA-B receptor subtype 1a were expressed only when the CD8+T cells were activated.After CD8+T cell activation,the quantity of GABA-A receptor subtypes α3,αs,β2,β3,γ1,γ2 and θ were significantly increased,whereas the quantity of GABA-B2R and GABA-B1b did not significantly differ before and after CD8+T cell activation.Conclusions GABA can suppress the proliferation of activated CD8+T cells.The activation of CD8+T cells is regulated by GABA receptors.However,the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated.

Objective:To study the relationship between white matter injury (WMI) and brain maturity in preterm infants at full-term corrected gestational age (cGA).Methods:A retrospective study was performed in preterm infants [GA≤32 weeks or birth weight (BW) ≤1 500 g] admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to August 2018 and the Northwest Women and Children's Hospital from January 2017 to June 2017. The infants received conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at cGA 37~42 weeks. The infants were assigned into the WMI group and the control group according to the WMI scoring system, including the total maturation scores (TMS) and four sub-item scores.Results:A total of 118 premature infants were enrolled in this study (17 cases in the WMI group and 101 cases in the control group). The GA was (30.3±1.7) weeks, and BW was (1 356±268) g. The proportion of delayed TMS in the WMI group was significantly higher than the control group [58.8%(10/17) vs. 31.7%(32/101), P<0.05]. The TMS of the WMI group were significantly lower than the control group [(10.7±1.8) vs. (11.8±1.5), P<0.05]. The sub-item scores of TMS showed that the myelination [(2.8±0.6) vs. (3.1±0.4), P<0.05] and glial cell migration bands of the WMI group [(1.6±0.4) vs. (2.1±0.6), P=0.004] were significantly lower than the control group and no significant differences existed in cortical folding and involution of germinal matrix tissue scores between the two groups. Conclusions:The brain maturity of preterm infants with WMI is substantially delayed than those without WMI, including delayed myelination and delayed disappearance of glial cell migration bands.

Objective To investigate the change rules and its significance of erythrocytes surface molecule CD35 , CD58 and CD59 expression in recipients infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV)after renal transplantation. Methods Eighty-two recipients undergoing allogeneic renal transplantation were selected and divided into the negative (n=21 )and positive CMV groups (n=61 )based on the qualitative detection of CMV-pp65 antigen in peripheral blood. According to the results of CMV-pp65 (+)leucocyte count,all 61 patients in positive CMV group were further divided into low (n=55)and high active infection subgroups (n =6 ). Healthy adults were recruited into the normal control group (n =30 ). The expression levels of CMV-pp65 antigen,erythrocytes surface molecule CD35,CD58 and CD59 were measured by flow cytometry. Results Compared with normal control group,the expression levels of erythrocytes surface molecule CD35 , CD58 and CD59 in the positive CMV group were significantly down-regulated,and the CD35 and CD59 expression in the negative CMV group were considerably down-regulated (all P<0. 05 ). Compared with negative CMV group,the expression levels of CD58 and CD59 in the positive CMV group were significantly down-regulated (both P<0. 05 ). The expression levels of CD35 and CD59 in the high active infection subgroup were significantly lower than those in the low active infection subgroup (both P<0. 05 ). Conclusions The more severe active CMV infection after renal transplantation,the lower expression of erythrocytes surface molecule CD35,CD58 and CD59,hinting that red cell immune dysfunction is probably involved with active CMV infection.
