Objective To investigate the effects of different duration of sevoflurane anesthesia in the neonatal period on the long?term cognitive function and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in rats. Methods Twenty?four pathogen?free healthy Sprague?Dawley rats of both sexes, aged 7 days, weighing 12-16 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=8 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , sevoflu?rane anesthesia for 2 h group ( group S1 ) , and sevoflurane anesthesia for 6 h group ( group S2 ) . Group S1 and group S2 inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 2 and 6 h, respectively. Morris water maze test was performed at 30 days after the end of anesthesia ( postnatal day 37) to assess the cognitive function. After the end of the test, the rats were sacrificed, and hippocampi were isolated for determination of the expression of brain?de?rived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) , postsynaptic density?95 ( PSD?95) and synapsin 1 in hippocampal tis?sues by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the escape latency on 4th and 5th days of the test in group S1 and on 2nd-5th days of the test in group S2 was significantly prolonged, and the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantly decreased, and the time of staying at the platform quadrant was significantly shortened in S1 and S2 groups, the expression of BDNF, PSD?95 and synapsin 1 in hipp?ocampal tissues was significantly down?regulated in group S2 (P<0?05), and no significant change was found in the expression of BDNF, PSD?95 and synapsin 1 in hippocampal tissues in group S1 ( P>0?05) . Compared with group S1 , no significant change was found in the escape latency and frequency of crossing
the original platform (P>0?05), the time of staying at the platform quadrant was significantly shortened, and the expression of BDNF, PSD?95 and synapsin 1 in hippocampal tissues was significantly down?regula?ted in group S2 ( P<0?05) . Conclusion Short?time and long?time sevoflurane anesthesia both can induce long?term cognitive dysfunction in the neonatal period, and the severity is aggravated with prolonged anes?thesia; the partial mechanism is related to inhibition of the synaptic plasticity of hippocampal neurons of rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of dual antiplatelet drugs on the intestinal damage in rats. Meth-ods Eighty SD rats were randomly allocated into four groups:control group (normal saline, n=20), aspirin group (10.41 mg/kg, n=20), clopidogrel group (7.81 mg/kg, n=20) and clopidogrel combined aspirin group (n=20). Each group was given intra-gastric administration of drugs once per day for 14 days. All rats received operation after the final intragastric administration. The intestinal injury was observed. The jejunal fluid was taken for bacterial culture. The intestinal permeability was detected by ethidium bromide (EB) method. The small intestinal mucosal injury was estimated by Chiu method. Results The differ-ent degrees of small intestinal mucosal injury were found in four groups. The scores of pathological lesions were significantly higher in aspirin group, clopidogrel group and clopidogrel combined aspirin group than those of control group (P<0.05). The dual antiplatelet group showed the highest score (3.450±1.356). The small intestinal permeability was significantly increased in experiment groups compared with that of control group (54.012±3.513μg/g, P<0.05). There was a significantly higher small intestinal permeability in dual antiplatelet group than that of aspirin group and clopidogrel group (μg/g:130.533 ± 29.631 vs 90.965±3.765 vs 66.800±4.853, P<0.001). The total jejunal bacteria was significantly increased in dual antiplate-let group than that of control group (CFU/mL:61924.805±1751.159 vs 18154.280±1153.376, P<0.001). The ratio of entero-bacterium and enterococcus was significantly decreased in dual antiplatelet group compared with that of control group (0.220±0.089 vs 1.007±0.148, P<0.001). Conclusion The routine dose of dual antiplatelet drug aggravates the small intes-tinal injury in rats compared with that of single drug. The manifestations of intestinal mucosal injury include increased intes-tinal bacteria, dysbacteriosis, and increased small intestinal permeability.

Objective To understand the status of resistance to multiple insecticides and the frequencies of kdr mutations in Culex pipiens pallens from north?central Anhui Province. Methods From July to September,2014,the C. pipiens pallens mosquito larvae were collected in Huaibei,Bengbu and Chuzhou cities of the north?central Anhui Province and reared to adults. The female adult mosquitoes at 3-5 days post emergence were tested for susceptibility to the four insecticides,namely 0.05%deltamethrin,5%malathion,0.1%bendiocarb and 4%DDT,by using the standard WHO resistance tube bioassay. The detec?tion of the point mutations of the kdr gene at codon 1014 was conducted by PCR and DNA sequencing in the deltamethrin?resis?tant and?susceptible mosquitoes. Results High levels of resistance to all the four insecticides were found in all the three tested populations,although mosquito mortality varied among populations and test insecticides. Among the test insecticides,DDT showed lowest mortality with no significant difference(F=1.027,P>0.05)in all test populations,whereas significantly differ?ent mortalities were observed among populations for the remained three insecticides tested(deltamethrin,malathion,and ben?diocarb)(F = 23.823,33.955,128.841;all P < 0.01). Two types of non?synonymous kdr mutation at codon position 1014 (L1014F and L1014S)were observed. A positive correlation between L1014F mutation frequencies and deltamethrin resistance levels were detected in the three mosquito populations(r2=0.718,P<0.01). Conclusions The observed high levels of resis?tance to multiple?insecticides coupled with the occurrence of medium to high kdr frequencies in populations of C. pipiens pallens could profoundly affect the mosquito vector control programme in China. The local health departments need to strengthen vector dynamic monitoring and implement rational resistance management strategies.
