Objective To observe the effects of sleep deprivation(SD)on learning and memory and phos-phorylated cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein(pCREB) expression in hippocampus of mice,and to explore the mechanism of cognitive change after SD. Methods Twenty female C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into sleep deprivation group(SD, n = 10) and normal cage control group (CC,n = 10). Touch method was used to establish the sleep deprivation model. 30 days after SD,all the animals were subjected for Morris Water Maze (MWM) to test mean escape latency and percentage of time spent in the target quadrant. pCREB level in hippocampus was tested with Western blot. Results The mean escape latency in SD group in the second and third day of MWM was (29.31 ±4.93) s and (25.33 ±5.06)s, respectively, and was longer than that in CC group ((26.05 ±5.96)s and (19.35 ±7. 85)s,respectively). Mice in SD group spent less time in the target quadrant than that in CC group((23.61 ±9.86)% and (37.46 ±7. 51)%,.respectively, P<0.05). Results of Western blot for pCREB revealed that the pCREB level in hippocampus in sleep deprivation group was significantly lower than that in control group(0.71 ±0.03 and 0.82 ±0.06, respectively, P<0.01) . Conclusion The impairment of spatial learning and memory ability in sleep deprivation animals may be associated with the reduction of pCREB in hippocampus.

Epiretinal membrane (ERM) is a relatively common macular disease that forms along the surface of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) of the retina to some reason.The pathogenesis is not clear.Microincision vitrectomy surgery has been confirmed as a minimally invasive and very safe modality of treatment.Deciding when to perform a vitrectomy can be difficult.There are many factors which can affect the postoperative visual acuity,such as age,the thickness of macular,integrity of photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction.

To observe the germistatic and germicidal effects of origanum volatile oil (OVI) on the dysentery bacteria, the abdominal cavity of mice was infected with Shigella sonne (Sh. sonnei) and Shigella flexneri (Sh. flexneri) F2a. After OVI was given to the mice via gastric lavage, the effects of OVI on the infected mice were observed. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) for dysentery bacteria were determined in vitro. The results showed that origanum volatile oil showed obvious protective effect on mice infected with Sh. sonnei and Sh. flexneri F2a and it had germistatic and germicidal effects on dysentry bacteria. We are led to conclude that origanum volatile oil is an effective medicine against the infection of dysentery bacteria.

Objective To compare the Poser and the McDonald diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods Sixty-seven patients with clinical features suggestive of MS were re-evaluated by 2 neurologists utilizing both the Poser and the McDonald criteria.The Fisher' s exact test was used to statistically analyze the data from assessment by these two criteria.Results By the Poser criteria, 34 patients were classified as clinically definite MS, 24 patients as laboratory supported definite MS and 9 patients as possible MS.Under the new McDonald criteria, MS was diagnosed in 36 patients and 31 patients had possible MS.The results revealed significant differences in diagnosing MS between these 2 criteria (OR=5.549, 95% CI 2.37-13.00, P<0.01).Conclusions These 2 criteria showed remarkable differences in diagnosing MS, in particular definite MS, possibly due to greater reliance on paraclinical evidences in the Poser criteria and more stringent gnidlines of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the McDonald criteria.The analysis of cerebrospinal fluid may increase the diagnostic rate of MS and specify pathologic abnormalities in MRI to some degree.

ObjectiveTo study the efficacy and safety of heated humidified high flow nasal cannula ( HHHFNC) and nasal continuous positive airway pressure( NCPAP) ventilation for prevention of extubation failure in extremely low birth weight(ELBW)infants in our NICU.MethodsFrom Jan.2011 to Dec. 2014, 129 ELBW infants admitted to our hospital were randomly assigned into HHHFNC group and NCPAP group. The inclusion criteria were gestational age ( GA ) <34 w, birth weight ( BW )<1000 g, admission within 7 d after birth and transition to noninvasive respiratory support after a period of mechanical ventilation with an endotracheal tube. The primary outcome included:the incidence of extubation failure, nasal injury, air leak, abdominal distention and bronchopulmonary dysplasia ( BPD). Results Statistically significant difference sexisted between the two groups on oxygen the rapyduration, the time required reaching total enteral feedings and the incidences of nasal injury, air leak, abdominal & nbsp;distention and necrotizing enterocolitis ( P<0. 05). The incidence of extubation failure within 7 days was 25. 8℅ in HHHFNC group and 47. 6℅ in NCPAP group ( P <0. 05 ) . No differences between the 2 groups on total ventilation duration, non-invasive ventilation duration, re-intubation rate at 3d after extubation, BPD, retinopathy of prematurity ( ROP ) , intracerebral hemorrhage ( ICH ) , periventricular leukomalacia(PVL)and patent ductus arteriosus(PDA).Conclusions HHHFNC is an effective and safe method for prevention of extubation failure in ELBW infants.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the implementation of Quality Management Guidance of TCM Trust-agent Decocting in Medical Institutions in Shanghai. METHODS:Stratified random sampling method was adopted for the questionnaire of TCM trust-agent decocting in 13 medical and health institutions in the suburb of Shanghai. RESULTS:A total of 13 question-naires were sent out and 13 valid questionnaires were received with the effective rate of 100%. In the 13 medical and health institu-tions,12 medical and health institutions partially or fully adopted trust-agent decocting,and the trust-agent decocting in the 12 med-ical and health institutions accounted for 92.3% in all trust-agent decocting;the 12 medical and health institutions with TCM trust-agent decocting service for patients included 9 pharmaceutical factories and 3 pharmacies;label related problems (including name error,oral and topical label error and stickers unclear) and leakage were the main quality problems,accounting for 33.0%and 31.0%,respectively;83.3% of the medical and health institutions didn’t establish the file of the quality control for TCM trust-agent decocting;decocting process was the most important factor that affects the quality. CONCLUSIONS:Implementing a re-gional Quality Management Guidance of TCM Trust-agent Decocting in Medical Institutions in Shanghai and establishing a system that drug administration,industry associations and medical and health institutions are participated in have great significance to pro-mote the healthy development of TCM trust-agent decocting service and ensure patients’medication safety.

Objective To investigate the effects of Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) on the cerebral water content and thrombin in the rats with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and explore its mechnism for treating ICH. Methods SD male rats were randomly divided into blank group, sham operation group, model group and treatment group, and time points of 6, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 d were observed. ICH rat model was induced by collagenase and heparin in saline solution injected into caudate nucleus. The treatment group was injected PNS intraperitoneally once a day, and the cerebral water content was assessed by dry-wet weight method. Both content of fibrinogen (FIB) and thrombin clotting time (TT) in 48 h were measured. Results The cerebral water content of model group increased at every time point compared with blank group and sham operation group (P<0.05). The cerebral water content of treatment group was significantly decreased at every time point except for 6 h compared with model group (P<0.05). FIB of treatment group decreased compared with model group (P<0.05), while TT of treatment group was not significantly decreased (P>0.05). Conclusion PNS may play a role in treating ICH by decreasing cerebral water content, FIB and TT of ICH rats.

Patrolling monocyte (PMo) is a subset of monocytes.Its main function is patrolling vascular endothelium and removing cellular debris from the microvasculature.Studies have revealed that PMo can inhibit the growth of tumor cells,recruiting NK cells to kill tumor cells.PMo can prevent tumor cells metastasis to the lung,which plays a role of immunosurveillance.PMo may be a target for cancer immunotherapy.

Objective To establish a stable and controllable model of acute regional cerebral ischemia in rats, and to evaluate it by CT perfusion imaging and histological study. Methods Twenty eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, and there were 7 rats in each group. The sham operation rats were defined as the first group, rats suffered from cerebral ischemia for 15 minutes were classified as the second group, rats suffered from cerebral ischemia for 30 minutes and then reperfusion for 1 hour as the third group, and rats suffered from hypo perfusion for 6 hours as the fourth group. Cerebral ischemia or hypo perfusion were induced by inserting a nylon thread of different diameter into right middle cerebral artery (MCA) of rats under the monitoring of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) by the Laser Doppler Blood Perfusion Monitor (BPM). rCBF was also examined by dynamic CT perfusion imaging. At the end of the observation time, rats were decapitated, and three rats of each group were performed 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and four rats were performed histological study. Results In the second group, rCBF was controlled within 5% to 22% under the monitoring by BMP and CT perfusion imaging showed the decreased rCBF in 7 rats, but TTC staining showed red appearance indicating no infarction focus formed. Electronic microscopic study revealed astrocytic swelling and a few of neuronal degeneration. In the third group, rCBF was controlled within 4% to 23% under the monitoring by BMP. There were more severe astrocytic swelling and a lot of neuronal degeneration. The abnormal areas in CT perfusion images were the same as TTC staining. In the fourth group, in accordance with less decrease ment of rCBF (from 38% to 55%) in 7 rats, there were obvious astrocytic swelling and subtle neuronal degeneration. TTC stain did not show ischemia area. All these abnormal changes were not observed in the sham operation rats. Conclusion The controllable acute regional cerebral ischemic model in rats is very stable and repeatable. It can be simulated into the ischemic state of different perfusion level. This model is suitable for the research of acute cerebral infarction and regional cerebral ischemia. The facts that parallel changes existed among BMP measurement, CT perfusion imaging, and brain histology indicated that CT perfusion imaging is accurate and sensitive in evaluating acute regional ischemia.
