Objective To investigate the neural mechanism of inhibitory control in sensation seeking by using the event-related potential(ERP) technique. Methods High and low sensation seekers( 16 people in each group ), who were selected according to their sensation seeking scores, performed a Go/Nogo task in which the stimuli possessed two levels of difficulty. Electro- encephalogram(EEG) signals were recorded continuously by a set of 32 Ag/AgCI electrodes. Results For two types of stimuli ( Congruent, Incongruent) :( 1 )The amplitude(FCZ) of Nogo N2 and Nogo P3 were( (1.61 ±4.25)μV,(-2.32±4.55)μV)and((16.44±5.74)μV,(17.00±5.71)μV). (2)There was no significant main effects of group for the Nogo N2 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.31, P=0. 59,η2=0. 01;F(1.30) =0.07,P=0.80,η2=0.002) ,the N2d amplitude( F(1.30) =1.18,P=0.29,η2=0.04;F(1.30) =0.004, P=0.95, η2 < 0.001 ) ,the Nogo P3 amplitude( F (1.30) =0.13, P=0.72, η2 =0.004;F(1.30)=0.28, P=0.60, η2 =0.009) and the P3d amplitude( F(1.30) =0.08, P=0.50, η2 =0.02; F (1.30) =0.56,P=0.46, η2 =0.02). (3)Neither of main effects for the N2 and P3 latency was significant (P>0.05). Conclusion The inhibitory control is similar across high and low sensation seeking groups,indicating that there is no relationship between the sensation seeking behaviors and the individual inhibitory control.

Objective To explore status quo of Shanghai community health services based on the investigation of rural community doctors in Shanghai suburb,and to propose measures on training rural doctors. Methods Retrospective investigation was carried out in 114 rural community health service centers and 1 563 clinics.Primary investigation included the registration,distribution,age,academic titles and education background. Results The results showed insufficient number of human resources and inadequate investment in human capitals in the primary medical services of Shanghai suburbs,and there was a serious shortage of general practitioners.The other problems included older age,insufficient academic qualifications,and without professional titles. Conclusion We should improve the status and treatment of rural doctors.Job training and well-trained professional students should be encouraged for the primary health services.More and more doctors should be attracted to work in community health service centers.General practitioners' personnal information network and general medical training network should be established,and the general medical education system gets improvement.

7. Cloning and analysis of CoDXR gene in Cornus officinalis
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2020;51(14):3785-3790
Objective: To clone the full-length cDNA sequence of CoDXR, a key enzyme gene of Cornus officinalis, and provide a basis for further study of C. officinalis. Methods: In this study, we used the transcript sequence c147202_g1 from the transcriptome data of C. officinalis obtained in our laboratory as template, designed specific primers through Primer Premier 5.0, cloned the full-length cDNA sequence of C. officinalis DXR gene by RT-PCR technology, and the bioinformatics analysis and function prediction were carried out through the relevant bioinformatics software. Results: The results showed that the CoDXR gene was 1 505 bp in length and the ORF was 729 bp in length, encoding 242 amino acids. The results of predictive analysis of CoDXR protein by SignalP4.0Server and HMMTOP showed that the protein was a hydrophobic protein without signal peptide and transmembrane region. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the CoDXR protein had the highest similarity to the DXR protein sequence of Camellia sinensis. Conclusion: In this study, the key enzyme gene CoDXR was successfully cloned based on the sequencing of the C. officinalis transcriptome, and related bioinformatics analysis was carried out. The results of this study laid the foundation for further study on the function of CoDXR gene in the terpenoid synthesis pathway of C. officinalis.

Objective To investigate the spatiotemporal expression patterns and the relationship of α-sarcomeric actin(α-SCA) ,α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and intermediate filament protein desmin with the maturation of the prenatal and the neonatal mouse hearts. Methods Serial sections of the embryo mouse and the neonatal mouse hearts were immunostained with antibodies against α-SCA, α-SMA and desmin. Results Ventricle and outflow tract of embryonic day(ED) 9 heart showed stronger expression of α-SCA and α-SMA, but desmin expression was lower. In the atrium, the expressions of α-SCA and α-SMA were restricted to the dorsal and ventral walls. In the sinus venosus, only a few weakly stained α-SCA positive cells were detected. No desmin expression was found in the atrium and sinus venosus. The expressions of α-SCA, α-SMA and desmin were increased to their highest level at ED 12. The higher expression of α-SCA remained to the postnatal stages. After ED 12, the expressions of α-SMA and desmin gradually decreased in different parts of the heart, but their expressions in the right ventricle persisted longer. After birth,desmin expression was mainly concentrated in the Z lines of I bands and intercalated disks. Conclusion The presence of spatiotemporal differences in the expression of α-SMA and desmin reveals regional differences in cardiomyocyte maturation in various parts of the embryonic mouse heart. The right ventricle shows a relatively slow pace of maturation. The α-SMA may contribute to a peristaltoid contraction pattern of the embryonic myocardium with a slow shortening speed, and a relatively higher level of desmin is required for the maturation of the sarcomere.

Background Blepharitis is a common ocular surface disease.It is associated with the disorder of lipid secretion of meibomian gland.The change of tear film stability can cause dry eye symptoms,so blepharitis is thought to be one of the factors causing dry eye,but the relation between them is in study. Objective This study was to observe the morphology of meibomian gland in blepharitis patients and to investigate the correlation of morphology of meibomian gland with dry eye. Methods A series of case-observational study was designed in this study.A total of 83 eyes of consecutive 83 blepharitis patients were enrolled in Henan Eye Institute from October 2010 to April 2011.Blepharitis was diagnosed based on American Preferred Practice Pattern Guidelines.Some relevant ocular examinations were performed under the informed consent of the subjects,including the anterior segment manifestation by the slit lamp,such as meibography,lid margin abnormality,and the dry eye-relevant examinations,such as tear film break-up time (BUT),Schirmer test Ⅰ and corneal fluorescein staining also been carried out.Tear film shape was examined by film interference images and scored.Absent degree of meibomian gland was graded under a Noncontact Infrared Meibography.The correlations of absent degree of meibomian gland with ocular syndrome score,dry eye examination results were evaluated using Spearman rank correlation coefficients.Informed consent was obtained prior to this trail. Results No significant difference in the frequencies of blepharitis was found between male and female among different ages (x2 =2.69,P =0.75 ).Absent grading of the meibomian glands was positively correlated with age of blepharitis patients ( r =0.58,P =0.00 ),lid margin abnormality scores ( r =0.64,P =0.00 ),conjuntival hyperemia score ( r=0.50,P =0.00),tear film interference imaging grade ( r =0.23,P =0.04 ),corneal fluorescein staining score( r =0.50,P =0.00 ) but was negatively correlated with BUT ( r =-0.32,P =0.00 ).No significant correlation was found between meibography grading and gender( r =-0.09 ; P =0.99 ) or Schirmer test Ⅰ ( r =-0.05;P =0.69 ).No significant difference was found in meibography grading between male and female in different age groups(Z=-0.09,P=0.93). Conclusions Blepharitis can irriter dry eye symptom because of overevaporation of tear fluid and abnormality of secreting function of meibomian glands.The missing of the meibomain glands increases with age in the patients with blepharitis.Noncontact Meibography System is an assistant tool to the diagnosis of blepharitis.
