Objective To investigate the characteristic changes of the metabolism products in the auditory cortex (transverse temporal gyrus)in patients with metabolic syndrome combined with sensorineural deafness using 1 H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS),and to find out the early warning indicators of sensorineural deafness in patients with metabolic syndrome.Methods The pure tone audiometry (PTA)was performed in 142 pa-tients with metabolic syndrome (diagnosed by endocrinology department),and 15 healthy subjects as the control group.The patients were divided into four groups:the metabolic syndrome group;the metabolic syndrome group with unilateral,the bilateral deafness group,and the control group.Cerebral metabolism was studied by assessing the ratios of nitro-acetyl aspartate contrast to choline (NAA/Cho)as well as to creatine (NAA/Cr),myo-inosi-tol to creatine (mI/Cr)and choline to creatine (Cho/Cr)ratios in the auditory cortical separately in these groups. ROC curves were made for those metabolism markers to find the best diagnostic threshold.Results Significantly lower values of NAA/Cho ratio and higher values of Cho/Cr were observed in metabolic syndrome in the control group (P<0.05),Cho/Cr higher than those (P<0.05).NAA/Cho ratios in the injured and uninjured auditory cortex of MS with unilateral deafness were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).A self-comparison was made between the inj ured and uninj ured auditory cortex,the result showed that NAA/Cho ratio had significant differences.All of the metabolisms were tested by the curve of ROC.The area of NAA/Cho under the ROC curve was 81%,which had a higher accuracy.NAA/Cho equating to 1 .82 could be used as the boundary indi-cators between metabolic syndrome without deafness and with deafness groups.The areas of the other indicators un-der the ROC curve were <50%.Conclusion NAA/Cho may be the early warning marker of sensorineural deafness in patients with metabolic syndrome.

A dual-mode recording system used for synchronous detection of neuroeletrical and neurochemical signals was developed, and a dual-mode synchronous detection experiment was carried out using the instrument. The device comprised 64-channel neuroelectricity recording module with voltage resolution of 0. 3 μV and 4-channel neurochemistry recording module with current resolution of 1 pA. The software had many basic features, including Spike separation and sort, chronoamperometry, cyclic voltammetry, etc. In particular, the software could observe and analyze the dual-mode neural signals synchronously. The performance of the system was demonstrated in the single mode detection experiments. In neuroeletrical experiments, 64-channel simulate neural signals were detected and the signal to noise ratio ( S/N) of Spike recorded from cortex of Sprague-Dawley ( SD ) rat was 6. In the K3 [ Fe ( CN )6 ] and ascorbic acid measurement experiments, the current response of K3 [ Fe ( CN)6 ] in the range of 0. 1-10 mmol/L was obtained by cyclic voltammetry, with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9889, and the current response of ascorbic acid ( concentration:10-800 μmol/L) by chronoamperometry increased linearly with a correlation coefficient of 0. 9841. Based on the rat model of global cerebral ischemia, a dual-mode detection experiment was carried out. In the experiment, the neuroelectrical and neurochemical signals were synchronously recorded in the SD rat primary visual cortex. According to the experimental results, we got the conclusion that the concentration of ascorbic acid negatively related to the Spike firing in the SD rat primary visual cortex.

High extracellular potassium can induce spreading depression-like depolarizations, elevations of extracellular glutamate and even neuronal death in normal brain. To investigate the contribution of high potassium in vivo, a microelectrode arrays ( MEAs ) probe integrated with recording sites for glutamate concentration (50í150 μm) and local field potential ( LFP) ( diameter=15 μm) was fabricated by Micro-electro-mechanical-systems ( MEMS) technologies. We implanted the MEA probe acutely in the rat brain and exposed the brain to a high potassium solution. During these multi-modal recordings, it was observed that high potassium elevated extracellular glutamate while suppressing the LFP irreversibly. This is one of the first studies in which a dual mode MEA probes is applied in vivo for neuronal death, and it is concluded that our MEA probes are capable of examining specific spatiotemporal relationships between electrical and chemical signaling in the brain.

The nano-structure TiN was modified on the laboratory self-made planar microelectrode array pMEA by magnetron sputtering method. The performance of modified pMEA was investigated. Research on neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording was studied in vitro. The impedance of the modified pMEA was decreased almost one order of magnitude, and the background noise level was reduced to ±6 μV. In the same testing environment, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of modified electrodes was 1. 7 times of bare electrodes. The SNR of neuroelectrical recording on the brain slice of SD rats reached 10:1 , and the weak signal such as ±12 μV was separated easily. For neuroelectrical recordings, the detection limit of dopamine ( DA) solution reached 50 nmol/L with the 2:1 (S/N). During the concentration range of 0. 05-100 μmol/L, the linearly correlation coefficient of the DA oxidation currents was 0 . 998 . The modification of nano-structure TiN on pMEA reduced pMEA impedance and background noise level, meanwhile the SNR was increased. The weak signals of neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording were successfully recorded.

Subthalamic nucleus (STN) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become an important surgical treatment of Parkinson disease, but its exact mechanism is still unclear.In this study, a 16-channel implantable microelectrode array (MEA) was prepared by micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technique and later modified with platinum black/reduced Graphene Oxide/Nafion (Pt/RGO/Nafion) nanocomposites.Extracellular dopamine (DA) content and spike of dorsal striatum neurons were synchronously recorded before and after STN stimulation.The results showed that the dopamine content began to increase within 20 s after electrical stimulation and dropped to normal level after about 50 s, with the highest rising concentration of 1.72 μmol/L.At the same time, there was an increased spike activity of interneurons in the dopamine ascending phase, and the spike firing rate of medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs) was high when the concentration of DA was higher than the normal level.The MEA sensor can simultaneously record dopamine flux and physiological signals in situ, thus providing an ideal tool for neural information detection.

Objective To investigate the effects of the structural psychological nursing on the sense of uncertainty and adverse cardiovascular events (ACE) in patients with PCI.Methods Totals of 98 PCI patients who admitted to the Cardiology Department of Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from June 2015 to May 2016 were selected into the study. The participants were divided into the control group (n=49) and the intervention group (n=49) according to a random number table. Based on the routine nursing care, the intervention group received an additional structural psychological care. To compare the state of pre operative mood and postoperative mood, the sense of uncertainty one day before and after PCI, and the incidence of ACE three months after PCI between the two groups.Results Patients in the intervention group had a better state of mood after the intervention compared with the control group. The sense of uncertainty was similar before the operation (P>0.05) but was significantly different between the two groups after the operation (t=4.635, 3.265, 4.012;P<0.01). In the intervention group, the scores of undefined diagnosis, complexity, and sense of uncertainty to the disease was (35.63±5.96), (21.26±3.01) and (56.89±5.84). After three months, the vasovagal reflectivity and incidence of hematoma on the puncture site had significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05), but had limited difference in the incidence of myocardial infarction or angina recurrence rate (P>0.05).Conclusions The structural psychological nursing can effectively prevent the sense of uncertainty and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with PCI.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression level and clinical significance of miR-181c-3p and miR-5692b in esophageal cancer.
METHODSThe microRNA (miRNA) profiles of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed by miRNA microarray in 55 cases of esophageal cancer. The expression levels of miR-181c-3p and miR-5692b from 55 pairs of tumor tissues and adjacent non-neoplastic tissues were determined by qRT-PCR analysis.
RESULTSBoth miR-181c-3p and miR-5692b were significantly up-regulated in tumor tissues compared with adjacent non-neoplastic tissues. Their expression was also significantly associated with tumor size, depth of invasion and clinical tumor stage (P<0.05). High expression of miR-181c-3p and miR-5692b were significantly associated with poor prognosis (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis confirmed that high expression of miR-181c-3p and miR-5692b was poor prognostic indicators in esophageal cancer.
CONCLUSIONSThere are significant correlation between miR-181c-3p/miR-5692b expression, clinicopathologic parameters and prognosis. They represent potential prognostic biomarkers in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
