Objective To discuss the value of amplitude integrated electroencephalographic(aEEG) monitoring in early neonatal brain injury and prognosis of asphyxia neonatal.Methods Seventy-two subjects of asphyxia children were divided into mild asphyxia group and severe asphyxia group.We selected 45 cases of full-term healthy children born in our hospital as control group in the same term.All the objects were observed by aEEG monitoring within 6 hours.According to the aEEG results,all the samples were redivided into normal aEEG group,mildly abnormal aEEG group and severely abnormal aEEG group.All subjects were followed-up to observe their physical growth and the nervous system development at one-year-old.Results Incidence of abnormal aEEG in mild asphyxia group and severe asphyxia group was significantly higher than that of control group(x2 =26.996,47.07,P ＜ 0.01,respectively),and incidence of abnormal aEEG in severe asphyxia group was significantly higher than that of mild asphyxia group (x2 =7.76,P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in all subjects about physical development (height and weight) (P ＞ 0.05),all of their mental index and developmental quotient were lower in severely abnormal aEEG group (x2 =13.450,15.285,P ＜ 0.01,respectively).Conclusion aEEG can be used to assess the early neonatal brain injury of asphyxia neonatal,and it can be used to predict the prognosis of neonatal asphyxia based on the abnormal degree of aEEG.

Objective To investigate the behavioral characteristics of circadian rhythm disturbance in 3xTg-AD mice.Methods The free-running period,average activity per hour,total amount of exercise and circadian amplitude were examined with voluntary wheel-running test in 3-to 9-month-old C57BL/6 and 3xTg-AD mice under 12 h light/12 h dark cycle and constant darkness environment.Results In constant darkness environment,the free-running period in 3-month-old 3xTg-AD mice was (23.2±0.4) h,and shorter than the period((23.5±0.2) h) in C57BL/6 mice.In 6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice,activity pattern was disorganized,without clear boundary between activity and rest phase.The free-running period was unavailable.The circadian amplitude and total exercise amount were(40.6± 11.5) counts/5 min and(2.6±0.1) × 104 counts/d,(37.0±20.8) counts/5 min and(2.3±0.4) × 104 counts/d,(29.3± 11.0) counts/5 min and(1.6± 0.9) × 104 counts/d in 3-,6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice,respectively,which was significantly lower than that in age-matched C57BL/6 mice.In 12 h light/12 h dark cycle,the circadian amplitude and total exercise amount of 3-,6-and 9-month-old 3xTg-AD mice were (87.0 ± 37.8) counts/5 min and (2.2 ± 0.8) × 104 counts/d,(25.9± 6.3) counts/5 min and (1.1 ± 0.2) × 104 counts/d,(14.3 ± 5.7) counts/5 min and (0.6 ± 0.3)× 104 counts/d respectively,and with a significant decrease from the age of 6 months.Meanwhile,the locomotor activity decreased at night and increased during the day.Conclusion The endogenous circadian rhythm disturbance emerges in 3xTg-AD mice at 3-month-old,while the exogenous circadian rhythm disorder appears at 6-month-old;the degree of disorder in circadian rhythm is gradually aggravated with the increase of age in of the AD mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfu injection on the expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related factors oxygen-regulated protein 150 (ORP150),X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1),and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) mRNAs in cerebral cortical neurons after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in neonatal rats.Methods The 7 day-newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation,normal saline and Shenfu treatment (Shenfu injection,10 ml/kg per day,peritoneal injection,for 3 days) groups.They were redivided into 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,3 d and 7 d subgroups at different time points after modeling (n =8 in each group).A HIBD model of the neonatal rats was induced.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expressions of ORP150,XBP1,and CHOP mRNAs in rat cerebral cortex.Results The expressions of ORP150,XBP1 and CHOP mRNAs of the sham operation group was very week.The expressions of ORP150,XBP1 and CHOP mRNAs in the normal saline group and the Shenfu treatment group were significantly upregulated compared to those in the sham operation group at 3 h after modeling (all P ＜0.05); the expressions of XBP1 and CHOP mRNAs reached the peak at 6 and 12 h,respectively.Then they decreased mildly and closed to the level in the sham operation group at day 7.The expressions of XBP1 and CHOP mRNAs in the Shenfu treatment group at 12,24 h and day 3 after modeling were significantly lower than those in the normal saline group (all P ＜0.05).The XBP1 mRNA expression was significantly positively correlated with the CHOP mRNA expression in the normal saline group (r =0.649,P ＜0.05).Conclusions HIBD in neonatal rats induces endoplasmic reticulum stress response.ORP150,XBP1 and CHOP may be involved in the delayed neuronal damage process after HIBD in neonatal rats.Shenfu injection downregulates the expression of XBP1 and CHOP mRNAs and inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress response.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dezocine on diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP ) and expression of NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) in the spinal dorsal horns of rats .Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats , aged 4 weeks , weighing 150-170 g , with DNP induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (STZ) 50 mg/kg (successful induction of diabetes was defined as blood glucose >16.7 mmol/L) , were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n=24 each) using a random number table:DNP group and dezocine group (group D) .Twenty-four normal rats were chosen and served as normal control group (group C) .In group D , dezocine 2.52 mg/kg was injected intramuscularly once a day for 7 consecutive days starting from 2nd week after STZ injection ,while the rats in DNP and C groups received the equal volume of normal saline .Paw withdrawl threshold (PWT) to mechanical stimulation was measured before dezocine injection (T0 ) ,and on 1st ,3rd ,5th and 7th days after dezocine injection (T1-4 ) and on 7th day after the end of dezocine injection (T5 ) .Twelve rats in each group were sacrificed after measurement of PWT at T4 ,and T5 .The lumbar segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of NR2B protein expression (by immuno-histochemistry and Western blot ) and NR2B mRNA expression (by RT-PCR ) in the spinal dorsal horns .Results Compared with group C ,the PWT at T0-5 in group DNP and at T0 and T5 in group D was significantly decreased , and the expression of NR2B protein and mRNA at T4 ,5 in DNP group and at T5 in D group was up-regulated ( P<0.05) .Compared with group DNP ,the PWT was significantly increased at T1-4 ,the expression of NR2B protein and mRNA was down-regulated at T4 ( P<0.05) ,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above at T5 in group D ( P>0.05) . The PWT was significantly lower at T0 and T5 ,and the expression of NR2B protein and mRNA was higher at T5 than at T4 in group D ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Dezocine can effectively relieve DNP in rats and inhibition of NR2B expression in the spinal dorsal horns is involved in the mechanism .

Objective:To identify pathogenicity of the potential splicing variants in two Chinese Han patients with osteogenesis imperfecta.Methods:Genomic DNA was extracted using the conventional phenol-chloroform method; whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to analysis the disease-related variants in the two probands; Minigene assay was used to identify pathogenicity of the variants found in the patients' genome that possibly affect RNA splicing.Results:Two potential splicing variants, c.858+1_858+5delGTAAG in intron 12 of COL1A1 and c.1405-7C>T in intron 24 of COL1A2, were found in proband 1 and proband 2, respectively. In addition, a missense mutation, c.2972G>T (p.G991V) in exon 45 of COL1A2, was detected in proband 2. Minigene assay revealed that the variant in proband 1 caused the skipping of exon 12, while the variant in proband 2 did not lead to aberrant splicing. G199 of the COL1A2 in proband 2 was a highly conserved amino acid site, and the results suggested that c.2972G>T (p.G991V) may be the real pathogenic variant by the means of bioinformatics analysis.Conclusion:The variant c.858+1_858+5delGTAAG in COL1A1 was a causative variant that led to OI in proband 1, while the missense variant c.2972G>T (p.G991V) in COL1A2 was the cause of OI in proband 2, instead of the variant c.1405-7C>T. Minigene assay for potential splicing variants detected by WES could not only validate the pathogenicity of the candidate variants and enrich the mutation spectrum of OI, but also lay the foundation for patients' prenatal diagnosis and subsequent mechanism research.

The most significant region was parietal lobe, the next was temporal lobe,and the last was frontal lobe. (2) Detecting with PET and dealing with statistical parametric mapping (SPM) of 99 software,there was more significant decreasing of rCMRglc in regions 7,23,30,31 of cingulate gyrus,region 39 and 40 of pario-occipital lobe,region 20 of temporal lobe and region 6,8,9 of frontal lobe in AD group( P

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of hemorrhoid elimination agent made by our hospital for the treatment of constipation, blood in stool, pain in defecation, anal burning sensation and abdominal distension after hemorrhoids surgery. Methods A number of 120 patients from January 2017 to June 2019 undergo hemorrhoid surgery in the department of anorectal surgery in our hospital were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random digit table. The experimental group took hemorrhoid elimination agent orally, and the control group took paraffin oil orally. The two groups were compared in terms of the clinical efficacy, symptom and sign scores before and after treatment and adverse reactions. Results The total clinical effective rate of patients in the experimental group was 95%，and the total effective rate in the control group was 81.6% . Compared withpre-treatment, the fecal character score in the experimental group was significantly improved after treatment, and the incidence of hematochezia was significantly reduced after treatment (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in fecal character score and incidence of hematochezia before and after treatment in the control group(P>0.05). After treatment, the score of symptoms and signs in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of hematocele in the experimental group was 5 %，while that in the control group was 21.67%，with significant difference between them(P<0.05). Conclusion With obvious effect and high safety, hemorrhoid elimination agent can effectively relieve constipation and hemostasis after hemorrhoidectomy, which is worthy of promotion in clinic.

Fourteen neonatal diabetes mellitus(NDM)patients were recruited. 9 patients were treated with glyburide and the other 5 with insulin. ABCC8, KCNJ11, and INS genes were sequenced in 6 of them. Gene mutations were found in 2, 1, and 1 cases in these genes, respectively. One case with 6q24 hypomethylation and another without known mutation were also found. 8 out of 9 patients treated with glyburide reached euglycemia(88.9%). The other 5 patients with insulin therapy either died or lost contact. The results suggest that glyburide therapy is effective in neonatal diabetes mellitus, while insulin therapy may contribute to poor compliance.
