Objective To investigate the effects of RO20-1724 on repetitive ketamine administration-induced learning and memory impairment in immature rats.Methods Forty-eight 21-day-old SD rats of both sexes weighing 45-55 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12 each):control group(group C); ketamine group (group K); ketamine + RO20-1724 group (group K+ R) and ketamine + vehicle (ethanol) group (group K+ A).Ketamine 70 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally (IP) once a day for 7 consecutive days in groups K,K+ R and K+ A.RO20-1724 0.5 mg/kg and equal volume of ethanol were injected IP at 30 min after IP ketamine once a day for 7 consecutive day in groups K + R and K + A respectively.Morris water maze test was used to assess learning and memory ability.The escape latency and the number of times of passing the safe zone were recorded.The animals were killed after water maze test and their brains removed for microscopic examination of hippocampus and determination of p-CREB protein expression in hippocampus (by Western blot).Results Repetitive ketamine administration significantly prolonged the escape latency,decreased the number of times of passing the safe zone and down-regulated the expression of p-CREB protein in hippocampus on the 3rd and 4th day in group K as compared with group C.RO20-1724 significantly attenuated the above changes induced by repetitive ketamine administration in group K + R as compared with group K.Electron microscopic examination showed that RO20-1724 significantly ameliorated repetitive ketamine administration-induced hippocampal neuronal damage.Conclusion RO20-1724 can ameliorate cognitive dysfunction induced by repetitive ketamine administration.Up-regulation of cAMP /CREB signaling pathway is involved in the mechanism.

Objective To analyze the sequences of two component signaling system PhoP/PhoQ encoding genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains sensitive or resistant to aminoglycoside antibiotics and to determine the correlation between the PhoQ/PhoP and the resistance. Methods The segments of entire pimQ and phoP genes of P. aeruginosa were obtained by PCR and then sequenced after T-A cloning. Two prokaryotic expression systems of phoQ and phoP genes were constructed and the target recombinant expres-sion products rPhoQ and rPhoP were extracted by Ni-NTA chromatography. Rabbits were intracutaneoualy immunized with rPhoQ and rPhoP to obtain antisera and double immunodiffusion test was used to detect the titers of antisera. The phoQ genes of aminloglycoside antibiotics-resistant P. aeruginosa strains were knocked out by using Red recombination system, and phoQ mutants were identified by PCR plus sequencing and Western blot assay. Tube dilution method was applied to determine MIC values of wild and mutant strains of P. aeruginosa to four different aminoglycoside antibiotics. Results In comparison with the corresponding sequences in GenBank, the similarities of nueleotide and putative amino acid sequences of the cloned phop and phoQ genes were 98.7%-99.6% and 98.7%-100% , and 98.4%-99.8% and 99.1%-100%, respec-tively. Both rPhoQ and rPhoP were successfully expressed using pET-42a and E. coil BL21 DE3 system, and their rabbit antisera with 1 : 4 and 1 : 8 double immunodiffusion titers were also obtained. The deletion of phoQ genes and absence of the products in the two phoQ mutants were confirmed by PCR, sequencing and West-ern blot assay. MIC values of the four different aminoglycoside antibiotics to the two mutants were 1/512-1/2048 as those of their wild strains. Conclusion PboQ/PhoP is a sequence conserved two component sig-naling system of P. aeruginosa, and this system mediates resistance of the microbe to aminoglycoside antibiotics.

Objective To investigate the cognition and behaviors of sun-protection and the facial photoaging in a Nanjing population, and to analyze the relationships between them. Methods The objects being investigated in Nanjing (n=974) were divided into 10 groups according to age. The ordinary information, knowledge and behavior of sun-protection and Glogau photoageing type of face were studied by questionnaires. The results were analyzed by a logistic regression model to select the related factors to photoageing. Results The risk of skin photoageing increased with age. Most of the 46-65 years old crowds were type Ⅲ photoageing. Most of the objects being investigated had some knowledge and active awareness of sun-protection and could use some ways to protect themselves from sun. However, most people did not use the sunscreen correctly. Those who had higher level awareness and knowledge of sunprotection suffered less risk from skin photoageing. Sunbath without sunscreen for a long time outside activity was a high risk factor of development to skin photoageing. Shade, broad-brimmed hat and sun-protection in autumn were the protective factors. Conclusion Active awareness and correct methods could help prevent skin photoageing. In order to avoid the damages to skin from ultraviolet efficiently, the accurate ways of using sunscreens should be well understood.

Older people generally had low health literacy, age related cognition decline and some even progress into dementia, burden on society was aggravating. Cognition decline of the elderly could lead to the decrease of health literacy. Meanwhile, higher level of health literacy was a protective factor against cognition decline in the elderly. This paper aimed to explore the relationship between health literacy and cognitive function in the elderly population without dementia, and to provide a theoretical basis for improving the health literacy and cognitive function of the elderly.
