Objective To explore the protective effects of Quercetin on hypoxic ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Forty-eight 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, HIBD group and Que treatment group, 16 rats each. HIBD group and Que treatment group were treated by ligation of right common carotid artery to make anoxia and build HIBD model; sham-operation group had the separation of the right common carotid artery only. Que treatment group were injected intraperitoneally with quercetin (40 mg/kg) once a day for 7 days immediately after modeling while sham-operation group and HIBD group received equivalent normal saline at the same time. The rats in each group were scored of neurological function at 1 h after the last administration, and the ability of spatial learning-memory was tested by Morris water maze at the age of 28 days. After performing the test above, all rats were decapitated and the brains were taken. Pathological changes of hippocampus were observed by HE staining; the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth associated protein (GAP-43) in hippocampus CA1 area were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results There were significant differences in neurological deficit score and learning-memory ability among the three groups (P<0.01), and neurological deficit score was the highest and the learning-memory ability was the lowest in HIBD group. Pathological examination showed that the structure of hippocampal neurons was intact in sham-operation group. It was loose and disorder, and even loss of neurons in HIBD group. Compared with the HIBD group, the loose in the structure of hippocampal was lighter, and the number of neurons was increased in the Que treatment group. There was statistical difference in the positive expression of BDNF and GAP-43 in the hippocampal CA1 area among the three groups (P<0.01), with those in HIBD group being lower than in Que treatment group and sham-operation group and those in treatment group being lower than in sham-operation group (P<0.01). Conclusions Quercetin can enhance the expression of BDNF and GAP-43 in hippocampal CA1 region, promote nerve regeneration, improve the long-term learning-memory ability of HIBD neonatal rats, and protect the brain.

Objective To explore the effect of Quercetin on the long-term memory and PARP-1/AIF signal path in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Fifty-six 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, HIBD group, low dose of Quercetin group (20 mg/kg), and high dose of Quercetin group (40 mg/kg), each of 14 rats. Except for sham-operation group, in the other groups HIBD model were made by right common carotid artery ligation and anoxiate. The Quercetin groups were injected with the corresponding doses of Quercetin immediately once a day continuously for 7 days after the model was made,. Sham-operation group and HIBD group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline at the same time. Neural function was evaluated by Hanging wire test and Vertical pole test at 21 days old. The capacity of learning and memory was detected by Morris water maze at 28 days old, and then rats were killed and brains were taken. HE was used to observe the pathological changes of hippocampus. Western blot were used to detect the expression of PARP-1 and AIF in hippocampus. Results Compared with sham-operation group, the neural function and learning and memory ability decreased significantly in HIBD group. Those ability in both low dose and high dose of Quercetin groups were remarkably increased in comparison with HIBD group, and there were statistic differences (P??0.05). Conclusion Quercetin could improve long-term learning memory in newborn rats with HIBD, and the mechanism may be down-regulation of PARP-1/AIF cell apoptosis signaling pathway, inhibition of neuronal apoptosis, and thus play a role in protection of brain.

Objective To compare the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy(VAMT) and limited axillary thoracotomy(LAT) for the treatment of lung cancer.Methods 85 consecutive lung cancer patients were treated by either VAMT or LAT.The operative time,blood loss during operation,postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were compared between the two groups.Results There was no death in two groups.The operative time and blood loss during operation were significant less in VAMT than inLAT(t =6.514,2.413,all P ＜0.05).But postoperative chest drainage time,and hospital stay time and postoperative complication were no significant difference between the two groups (t =0.490,0.338,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion VAMT is a safe and less traumatic procedure in the treatment of lung cancer,which is worthy of promotion and application.

Objective To analyze the risk factors related to obesity of preschool children. Methods The physical activity and eating behavior of 120 obese children aged 1～6 years were investigated with questionnaire by case control 1:1 matched. Results Obesity group spent significantly longer time to watch TV than control group, but the time for physical activity, feeding pattern during the first 4 months, the time of initial supplementary foods and the sleeping duration were not different between both groups. Conditioned logistic regression of multi-variables showed that good appetite, fast eating, overeating of carbohydrate and meat , and snacks before breakfast were the risk factors of child obesity. Conclusion The bad eating behaviors and the lack of physical activity were related to obesity in preschool children.

Objective To apply fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) in sorting natural killer (NK) cells from human peripheral blood. The efficiency of these two methods were compared so that the basic conditions for the further study on the lower proportion of peripheral blood cells could be created. Methods Twenty cases of normal peripheral blood and 3 cases of post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (post-HSCT) were collected and NK cell were sorted by FACS and MACS. Results Before sorting the normal peripheral blood, the proportion of the NK cell in the leukocyte was (12.86±3.62) %, the purity of NK cell was up to (96.15±2.03) % and the recovery was (95.08±2.16) %after sorting by FACS, the purity was up to (93.35±3.61) % and the recovery was (94.11±3.01) % by MACS.And before sorting the post-HSCT peripheral blood, the proportion of the NK cell in the leukocyte was (11.01±2.08) %, the purity of NK cell was up to (96.22±2.16) % and the recovery was (95.27±1.18) % after sorting by FACS. The purity was up to (90.98±1.94) % and the recovery was (94.54±3.52) % by MACS. Thereis difference in purity of NK cell (t = 5.925, P ＜0.05), while no difference in rate of recovery between 2methods (t = 0.789, P ＞0.05). Conclusion FACS is more efficient, rapidly and easily than MACS in sorting NK cell, especially for post-HSCT cases.
