Objective To explore the attentional bias to emotional faces on individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression through eye-tracking study.Methods Center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) were used to the diagnosis of 24 normal individuals and 21 depressed individuals and 24 individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression.Emotion face pictures were chosen as experiment material and discuss the mechanism of the attentional bias of individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression through the analysis of eye movement index.Results First fixation duration bias score on happy expression picture of individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression((52.60±0.06) ％) was less than normal controls ((59.26±0.09) ％) and the depression group((53.27±0.07)％),(F(1.66)=12.32,7.23,P＜0.05).Gaze Duration Bias score on sad expression picture of individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression ((59.17±0.08) ％) was more than normal controls((49.67±0.07) ％),(F(1.66) =4.29,P＜0.05).Conclusion Individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression show no original direction bias to sad and happy expression pictures.Original attentional avoidance and total attentional maintenance to sad expression picture exist in individuals in the remitted phase of recurrent depression.

Objective To detect the serum prohibitin protein(PHB)level in children with renal interstitial damage and analyze the correlation between PHB and renal interstitial fibrosis(RIF). Methods Serum PHB protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis in 36 children with kidney diseases,and 30 healthy children were studied as control. Levels of BUN,Scr,and urinary microprotein series(including ALBU/Cr,NAGU/Cr,IgG U/Cr,α1-MU/Cr)were studied by automatic biochemical analyzer. Renal interstitial damage was semiquantitatively graded according to Katafuchi's method. The correlation between serum levels of serum PHB protein and those of BUN,Scr as well as urine microprotein were analyzed. Results Serum PHB protein was positive in children with diverse kidney diseases however it was negative in the normal controls(P ＜ 0.05). Serum PHB levels were significantly higher in children with proliferative glomerulonephritis than those with non-proliferative glomerulonephritis(P ＜ 0.05). Statistical analysis indicated that serum PHB levels positively correlated with the degree of tubulointerstitial lesions(r ＝ 0.868,P ＜ 0.001)as well as the glomerular injuries(r ＝ 0.753,P ＜ 0.001). And,serum PHB levels were also positively correlated with urinary microprotein including NAG(r ＝ 0.586,P ＜ 0.001)and IgG(r ＝ 0.341,P ＜ 0.001). Conclusions Serum PHB levels were significantly increased in children with kidney diseases and were positively correlated with the degrees of renal interstitial damage,suggesting that PHB might be a potential clinical marker for detecting tubulointerstitial lesions.

BACKGROUND:Tissue-engineered transplantation technique has become an ideal therapeutic regimen for degenerative disc diseases through reconstituting the biological functions of the degenerated intervertebral discs.
OBJECTIVE:To construct a novel tissue-engineered annular fibrosus scaffold.
METHODS:Konjac glucomannan, nano-hydroxyapatite and colagen were used to fabricate a new tissue-engineered annular fibrosus scaffold by wet spinning, chemical crosslinking, and freeze drying methods. Afterwards, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer were used to analyze the scaffold qualitative components, physico-chemical property, biomechanical performance and cytocompatibility.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The bionic scaffold had a three-dimensional porous structure, with the average pore size of (425.8±47.3) μm, the average porosity of (73.4±5.6)%, and the water absorption of (718.6±24.3)%. In addition, the compressive strength of the scaffold was similar with that of the natural annular fibrosus. More importantly, the scaffold had good biocompatibility without cytotoxicity. These results show that the tissue-engineered annular fibrosus scaffold constructed by konjac glucomannan, nano-hydroxyapatite and colagen has proper three-dimensional porous structure, biocompatibility, porosity, water absorption and biomechanical strength.

Objective To investigate protective activity against Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells of different extracts and ursolic acid, which were isolated from pyrola decorata. Methods Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells was established as the model in vitro. The cultured PC12 cells were divided into blank control group, DMSO control group, model control group, different extract groups of pyrola decorate and ursolic acid(UA) group. The different extract groups included ether extract (PE), acetidin extract (AE), n-butanol extract (BE), the water extract (WE), 50% ethanol extract (HEE). MTT assay was used to test the optimum concentration, and the number of viable cells in culture medium was measured by ELISA at 490 nm wavelength. Results The cell viabilities in different extracts groups(PE, AE, BE, WE, HEE) were respectively 89.3%, 77.2%, 79. 2%, 75. 1% ,74. 0% at the concentration of 5. 0 mg ? mL-1 . Moreover, ursolic acid showed the best neuroprotective activity (88.9%) at the concentration of 500 μg?L-1 . Compared with model control group, the survival rate of each group was remarkably increased, and the protective activities of PE and UA were more significant among them. Conclusion Different polar extracts of pyrola decorata and isolated ursolic acid have neuroprotective effects on Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells in certain degrees.

Objective To study effects of salmon calcitonin and Heng Gu bone healing reagent on vertebral osteoporotic fracture(OPF).Methods From Nov.2007 to Dec.2009,82 cases of vertebral OPF were treated.These cases were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The treatment group(42 cascs)were treated with salmon calcitonin and Heng Gu bone healing reagent.The control group(40 cases)received salmon calcitonin only.Pain relief of the 2 groups wag compared.Results Before treatment,the 82 patients were scored 6-9 points by visual analogue scales(VAS)and pain scores of the 2 groups were similar (P>0.05).3 days,5 days,8 days and 15 days after treatment,VAS scores of the 2 groups were significantly different(P<0.01).Compared to the control group,the treatment group had pain relief in shorter time and their bone mineral density Was better showed by the 3-month-later review.Conclusion The combination therapy of salmon calcitonin and Heng Gu bone healing reagent in treating vertebral OPF has better effect of pain relief and bone formation,which is a safe and effective method.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the histological changes on the femoral heads of the SANFH rabbit animal models and after it were intervened by Osteoking (herbs of the Yi minority in Yunnan province) using general and light microscope observation.

METHODA total of 150 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into a non-treatment control group (A group, n = 24), normal rabbits with Osteoking treatment group (B group, n = 24), and the experimental group (n = 102). The experimental group was injected with escherichia coli endotoxin (10 microg x kg(-1)) into auricular vein twice by 24-hour intervals, and prednisolone (20 mg x kg(-1)) was injected into buttock three times by 24-hour intervals to make steroid-induced femoral head necrosis model. At the fifth week, 48 out of 53 rabbits were equally divided into model group (C group, n = 24, models with non-treatment Osteoking) and abnormal rabbits with Osteoking treatment group (D group, n = 24). B group and D group were intragastrically administrated with Osteoking, once every two days. A group and C group were intragastrically administrated with the equal volume of saline. At 8th, 12th and 16th week after model preparation, the femoral head specimens were observed under the general and a light microscope.

RESULTMacroscopic and light microscopic analysis showed that, clear bone necrosis of femoral head was observed in the C group, and a large number of fat cell proliferation was found in the bone marrow cavity. As compared with C group, the damage level of cells in D group was milder, however, the density of bone trabecula from Osteoking treatment was high, and the ratio of bone lacuna was very low. It is also demonstrated that the surface area of bone necrosis was decreased, and the number of cells from adiposities was reduced significantly. The phenomenon of bone necrosis repaired apparently. The morphology of femoral head from A group and B group is normal.

CONCLUSIONIt suggested that Osteoking could effectively help repair steroid-induced femoral head necrosis in the early stage.
