Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of the gap junctional influence on the change in permeability of the blood-brain barrier(BBB)after reperfusion subsequent to cerebral ischemia.Methods In the test laser scanning confocal microscope(LSCM)was used to investigate the change of Cx43 levels and distribution.The MCAO/R model was induced using intraluminal suture technique first described by Longa with a little modification.A total of 60 Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups:the sham-operation group,control group,octanol-treatment group and DMSO vehicle control group. Control group were further divided into seven subgroups at different time points of reperfusion after middle cerebral artery occlusion.To observe the change in permeability of BBB,Evans blue(EB)in the brain tissue was surveyed by the means of EB fluorescent quantitation.Octanol-treatment group and DMSO vehicle control group were done at the point of the peak of permeability of BBB.Octanol,the specific blocker for gap junctions(GJ)was used in an intervention study.To compare the amount of EB with the same point of groups,the influence of octanol on BBB permeability was investigated.Results At 3 h of reperfusion after cerebral ischemia for 2 h,the permeability of BBB began to increase,reached the peak at 24 h of reperfusion and was still elevated at 72 h.The Cx43 expression formed into bigger plague and remained linear disposition in the penumbra after reperfusion subsequent to cerebral ischemia.Octanol group was done at 24 h of reperfusion after cerebral ischemia.The amount of EB of octanol group((4.924?0.296)?g/g)was significantly lower than that of corresponding operation control group(5.543?0.506)?g/g.Conclusions (1)Cx43 expression is concentrated around vessels in brain.The Cx43 forms into bigger plague and the function maybe strengthens after reperfusion.Gap junction might aggravate the disruption of BBB.(2) Octanol,the specific blocker of gap junctions,could effectively prevent the permeability of BBB from increasing and has a protective effect on BBB.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) among the old people in Chongqing, China. Methods From October to November, 2015, 1850 persons more than 60-year-old in Chongqing were cluster sampled. They were investigated with self-made general situation questionnaire, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Instrumental Activity of Daily Living Scale (IADL) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) through face-to-face interview. Enumeration data were tested withχ2 test and multiple Logistic regression. Results MCI prevalence was 11.73%in the old people in Chongqing, and various with the residential re-gions, ages, marital status, literacy, career, smoking, drinking, seafood-eating, egg-eating, exercising, intensive labor, low intensity of labor, housework, outdoor activities, Mahjong/chess/cards playing, TV-watching/radio-listening/newspaper-reading, social activities, obesity, hy-pertension, diabetes, stroke, hyperglycemia, cerebrovascular insufficiency and depression (χ2>4.092, P<0.05). According to multiple Logis-tic regression, living in rural areas, aging, celibacy, obesity, hypertension and depression were the risk factors of MCI;while middle school and above years of schooling, mental workers, smoking cessation, frequent seafood-eating and egg-eating, exercising, daily intensive labor and low intensity of labor, daily and sometimes housework, daily and weekly outdoor activities at least once, daily Mahjong/chess/cards playing and daily TV-watching/radio-listening/newspaper-reading were the preventing factors. Conclusion The morbidity of MCI is high in the old people in Chongqing. It is necessary to take effective intervention in view of the related factors of MCI as early as possible, to delay or prevent the development of MCI to dementia.

With the global development of medical information standard, construction work of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) information standard system has been promoted rapidly. The framework of ancient Chinese medical literature clinical terminology classification standardization is one of the foundations of TCM language system. Its research will further promote and perfect TCM information standard system. We have adhered to the connection among ancient TCM classification framework, modern TCM and western medicine classification framework. Exploration on framework construction of ancient Chinese medical literature clinical terminology classification standardization was based on previous work of Chinese medicine clinical terminology classification and code standard, reference frame structure of SNOMED CT, research findings of classification standard framework of Chinese medicine clinical terms, andQian Jin Fang.

Objective To evaluate the effect of selenomethionine (Se-Met) against ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced oxidative damage to human HaCaT keratinocytes,and to explore its possible mechanisms.Methods Cultured HaCaT cells were divided into several groups:normal control group receiving no treatment,Se-Met groups treated with Se-Met at concentrations of 1,10,50,100,200 nmol/L and 1 μmol/L for 24 hours respectively,UVB groups irradiated with UVB of 30,60 and 90 mJ/cm2 respectively,Se-Met + UVB groups treated with Se-Met at concentrations of 1,10,50,100,200 nmol/L and 1 μmol/L for 24 hours firstly,then irradiated with UVB of 30,60 and 90 mJ/cm2 respectively.Subsequently,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to estimate cellular proliferative activity,flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis,colorimetry to evaluate superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities and to determine malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.Statistical analysis was carried out by using factorial design analysis of variance (ANOVA),one-way ANOVA and least significant difference (LSD) test.Results Factorial design ANOVA showed that UVB radiation had an inhibitory effect on the proliferative activity of HaCaT cells (F =128.04,P ＜ 0.05),which significantly decreased along with the increase of UVB doses,with significant differences between the three UVB groups (P ＜ 0.05).Se-Met pretreatment also affected cellular proliferative activity (F =5.95,P ＜ 0.05),which was significantly increased in Se-Met (10 nmol/L-1 μmol/L) + UVB groups compared with the UVB groups at corresponding doses (all P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant interaction effect on cellular proliferative activity between UVB radiation and Se-Met pretreatment (F =1.65,P ＞ 0.05).The apoptosis rate of HaCaT cells in the 30-mJ/cm2 UVB group was 31.9％ ± 2.67％,significantly higher than that in the normal control group (4.1％ ± 0.67％,P＜ 0.05) and in the 10-,50-,100-,200-nmol/L and 1-μmol/L Se-Met + 30-mJ/cm2 UVB groups (21.9％ ± 3.72％,17.2％ ± 1.67％,4.6％ ±-0.85％,7.5％ ± 1.86％ and 13.5％ ± 1.95％ respectively,all P ＜ 0.05).Similarly,SOD and GSH-Px activities were significantly weaker (both P ＜ 0.05),while MDA levels were higher (all P ＜ 0.05) in the 30-mJ/cm2 UVB group than in the normal control group;however,there was a significant increase in SOD and GSH-Px activities but a decrease in MDA levels in the Se-Met (10 nmol/L-1 μmol/L) + 30-mJ/cm2 UVB groups compared with the 30-mJ/cm2 UVB group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Se-Met can reduce UVB-induced oxidative damage to HaCaT cells,likely by enhancing antioxidase activity and decreasing oxygen radicals.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the traumatic pathological characteristics of posterolateral dislocation of knee joints and its treatment.

METHODSNine cases of posterolateral dislocation of knee joint, 5 cases of fresh injuries (the fresh injury group) and 4 cases of old injuries ( the old injury group) were reviewed and analyzed. In the fresh injury group 4 cases failed in close reduction due to "buttonholing" through the medial joint, among them 3 cases underwent repair of the damaged ligaments. In the old injury group 2 cases underwent ACL and MCL repair only in acute stage, but re-dislocated. Of the rest 2 cases 1 was associated with peroneal nerve injury and the other was not treated in acute stage. One case was associated with comminuted fracture of the tibial condyle and popliteal artery injury. Open reduction was performed in 3 cases. One case was fixed with 2-crossed pin and another was fixed with one pin through the tibial and femoral condyle and second pin with olecranization fixation. Plaster immobilization for 6-8 weeks respectively was required. In the old injury group in 1 case ACL and PCL repair (Augustine method) and posterolateral structure were performed and olecranization fixation and plaster immobilization for 6 weeks was needed. Arthrodesis of the knee was done for the patient with comminuted fracture of the tibial condyle and popliteal artery injury.

RESULTSAll the cases were followed up for 1-23 years (average 6 years). Knee stability in 4 cases with repair of the ligaments was improved, although PDT showed (+) with different degrees. The results of the patients treated with ligamentous reconstruction were much better than those of the patients without any repair.

CONCLUSIONSWell understanding of the traumatic pathological characteristics, repair of the damaged ligaments, augmentation of olecranization fixation and postoperative immobilization for 6 weeks are the key points of successful treatment.
