Objective To investigate the influence on the behavior of withdrawal and relapse after deep brain stimulation of bilateral nucleus accumbens in morphine-dependent rats. Methods The rats with a strong unconditioned preference were discarded in preconditioning test, the selected rats were distributed into five groups randomly. After operation,morphine hydrochloride was injected subcutaneously into SD rats for 12 days (once every day,initial 5 mg/kg,increasing by 5 mg/kg per time,stable in 20 mg/kg ). A modified electrical circuit was used to procedure the DBS,the parameter was 130 Hz,150 A,60 s,l h/d,14 d. CPP test was used to exam the effect of DBS. A minor morphine dose (3 mg/kg) was injected to induce the behavior of relapse, and CPP was tested again after 24 h. Two-way ANOVA was performed on the data with Bonferroni posttest. Result ①After CPP training,CPP score of group morphine, morphine + sham and morphine + DBS was ( 155. 87 ± 20. 45 ) s, (107.33 ± 18.10)s,(135.45 ±22.09)s,and had significant difference with group of control( ( -70.34 ± 15.40) s)(t = 9.45,P＜0.01; t = 6.94,P＜0.01;t = 8.04,P＜0.01).②After 7 days' DBS,the CPP score in group of morphine + DBS reduced significantly compared to group of morphine( t = 4.21, P＜0.01) and morphine + sham( t=1.10, P＜0.05).0n the 14th day,there was more pronounced reduction ( t = 5. 15, P＜0.01; t = 3.92, P＜ 0.01). ③ 24 hours after the minor morphine dose was injected,the CPP score in morphine + DBS didn't increase significantly, and had significant difference with group of morphine ( t = 4.04, P＜0.01) and morphine + sham ( t= 4. 13, P＜0.01). Conclusion DBS bilateral nucleus accumbens in morphine-dependent rats can interfere the behavior of morphine-induced CPP and relapse.

Objective:To investigate the possible reversal effects of 1 ,3-diphenyl-1 ,3-propanedione (DPPD)for cocaine-induced content changes of neurotransmitters of brain in mice.Methods:In this study,36 healthy ICR male mice were randomly divided into control group,cocaine group,three DPPD pretreatment groups (200,400,and 800 mg/kg)and DPPD alone group (800 mg/kg).The mice in control group were administered intragastrically with 1 % Tween 80 for 3 d,and the mice in cocaine group were administered intragastrically with 1 % Tween 80 for 2 d before cocaine was injected subcutaneously on the 3rd day.The mice in the three DPPD pretreatment groups were administered intragastrically (DPPD 200,400,and 800 mg/kg)for 3 d before cocaine was injected subcutaneously 30 min after the administration on the 3rd day.The mice in DPPD alone group were administered intragastrically with DPPD at dose of 800 mg/kg for 3 d.The mice were sacrificed 20 minutes after cocaine injection.The contents of dopamine (DA)and 5-hydroxytryptamin (5-HT)in the mice brain were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-fluorescence detector,the contents of glutamic acid (Glu) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)in the mice brain were determined by HPLC-ultraviolet detector,and the neurotransmitter levels were compared between the groups.Results:The results showed that as com-pared with the control group,DA and GABA contents in cocaine group increased significantly (P <0.01 and P <0.05),while Glu content decreased (P <0.05).As compared with cocaine group,the DA levels in the three DPPD pretreatment groups (200,400,and 800 mg/kg)all decreased significantly (P <0.01 ).In DPPD 200 mg/kg pre-administration group,GABA content decreased (P <0.05),and the contents of the four kinds of neurotransmitters had no statistical differences with those of the control group.Conclusion:DPPD may have potential reversal effects of the content changes of neurotransmitters in mice brain induced by cocaine at a lower dose.

There are 193 MDR strains in the 131 patients , the first 5 MDR strains were Acinetobacter bau-mannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. MDR in-fection is highly associated with sever unconsciousness , time of stay in ICU longer than 7 days , ventilator time longer than 7 days and late-onset pneumonia and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion SAP patients with MDR bacterial infections are in association with the following risk factors: sever unconsciousness , time of stay in ICU longer than 7 days, ventilator time longer than 7 days and late-onset pneumonia. The rate of MDR bacterial infections was high , and these MDR strains were widely different degrees of resistance to many antibiotics.

Objective To observe the effects of Ulinastatin on pulmonary vascular endothelium permeability and respiratory function in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS exp). Methods The data of 39 patients with ARDS exp were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether treated with Ulinastatin or not, all patients were divided into Ulinastatin group(n = 21)and control group(n = 18); The level of extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index(PVPI) and respiratory function were measured before and after the treatment. Results The mortality rate of Ulinastatin group was lower than that of control group (28.6% vs 38.9%). The time of decreasing EVLWI, PVPI and improving PaO2/FiO and respiratory function in Ulinastatin group was shorter than that of control group, and the effect was superior. Conclusion Ulinastatin could reduce EVLWI and PVPI, improve pulmonary compliance and oxygenation, and reduce mortality rate in patients with extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress.

Objective To explore the action mechanism of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Methods Ts were obtained from SHR and SD rats.The aortic VSMCs were cultured in vitro by tissue explant method.VSMCs were treated with different concentration of exogenous bFGF (0 ng/ml,20 ng/ml,40 ng/ml,60 ng/ml,80 ng/ml,100 ng/ml) for 48 h,then cell proliferation was detected by 3 (4,5 dimethylthiazol)2,5 diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetric assay.VSMCs from SHR in control group were treated with bFGF (100 ng/ml) for 48h.VSMCs from SHR in treatment group were treated with bFGF (100 ng/ml) plus Proteinkinase C(PKC) inhibitor (staurosporine) for 48 h.Results After treatment with different concentration (0 ng/ml,20 ng/ml,40 ng/ml,60 ng/ml,80 ng/ml,100 ng/ml) of bFGF for 48 h,the values measured by MTT colorimetric method were 0.402 ± 0.103,0.605 ±0.090,0.696 ± 0.131,0.812 ± 0.080,0.901 ± 0.065,1.056±0.078 respectively in aortic VSMCs from SD rats,and 0.404±0.065,0.507±0.078,0.608±0.057,0.704 ± 0.107,0.812 ± 0.097,0.908 ± 0.032 respectively in aortic VSMCs from SHR.Compared with control group,the values measured by MTT colorimetric method were decreased in treatment group (P＜0.05).The proliferative effect of bFGF in aortic VSMCs from SHR was attenuated after administration of PKC inhibitor staurosporine.Conclusions Exogenous bFGF administration promotes VSMCs proliferation in SHR and SD rats in a concentration-dependent manner.PKC plays an important role in the signal transduction mechanism in VSMCs proliferation by exogenous bFGF.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of stress imposed on adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), therefore to clarify the molecular basis and mechanism of ACC's malignant phenotype under the elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure.

METHODSACC cells were cultured under pressure (103.74 kPa), and were divided into four groups (3 h group, 6 h group, 12 h group, 24 h group) according the pressure time. Untreated ACC2 was as negative control group, untreated ACCM was as positive control group. The level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was detected by semiquantitative analysis of immunochemistry. Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and EGFR mRNA expression were assessed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. EGFR, phosphorylation epidermal growth factor receptor (P-EGFR), MMP9, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and phosphorylation extracellular signal-regulated kinase (P-ERK) protein expressions were assessed by Western blot.

RESULTSAs the extension of pressure time, the expression of EGFR, P-EGFR, MMP9, KGF, P-ERK in ACC2 gradually increased, which were positive correlation with pressure time, and were higher than that of negative control group.

CONCLUSIONUnder the stimulation of pressure, the mRNA and protein levels of adhesion molecules and metastatic relative molecules in ACC2 were sharply elevated.

Objective·To analyze high-risk factors of infection of multidrug resistance Klebsiellapneumonia (MDR-Kpn) and difference of therapeutic effects for different treatments.Methods·One hundred and ten MDR-Kpn strains were collected from a hospital.K-B slip diffusion method was utilized to detect the drug susceptibility of all the strains.Based on electronic medical records system,MDR-Kpn infected group included 51 patients and control group was picked out,including 51 patients as well (byl:1 ratio basing on the infected group according to the rules of under the same department,similar basic disease and all the patients in the control group isolated with the strain of Kpn).Thirty-nine clinical information of MDR-Kpn infected and control groups are collected to make single-factor analysis of high risk factors of the infection with MDR-Kpn.Multi-factor analysis was utilized between MDR-Kpn infected and control groups.The lasting time of different antibiotics used in MDR-Kpn infected patients were made statistics between effective and inefficacy patients.Results·Drug susceptibility test showed that sulfonamide,phosphonomycin and amikacin,were the three most sensitive antibiotics for 110 MDR-Kpn strains.12 clinical information,such as blood transfusion、sputum suction、invasive ventilation were all high-risk factors for the infection of MDR-Kpn (P＜0.05).The lasting time during with carbapenems (P=0.025) was statistically different between effective (n=28)and non-effective group (n=23) of MDR-Kpn infection patients.Conclusion·Controlling and eliminating high-risk factors do help to protect and decrease the infection of MDR-Kpn.Using carbapenems correctly has great influence on prognosis.

Objective To investigate the role of calreticulin (CRT) in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by analyzing its expression in the sera,synovial fluid and synovial membrane in patients with RA.Methods Levels of CRT in the sera from patients with RA,osteoarthritis (OA),systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),other autoimmune diseases and health control (HC) were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western bloting.CRT levels in synovial fluid from RA and OA patients were measured by ELISA.Pathological methods were employed to analyze the expression and localization of CRT in synovial membrane.ANVOA,SNK-q test were used for statistical analysis.Results CRT was found to be significantly up-regulated in sera from RA [(4.8±2.4) ng/ml] than that from in OA [(3.6±0.9)ng/ml],SLE [(4.0±1.5) ng/ml],other autoimmune diseases [(3.9±0.8) ng/ml] and HC [(3.7±0.6) ng/ml].Only the monomer form of CRT in the serum could be detected.Pathological results showed that in RA synovium,CRT was mainly expressed in the lining and sublining layers,endothelial cells and perivascular areas； while in OA,only few CRT staining was seen in perivascular areas and the synovial lines.Conclusion In RA,increased levels of CRT are detected in the sera.In addition,high expression of CRT is observed in synovium and its distribution are different from OA.Our results suggest that CRT may be involved in RA joint inflammation and pannus formation.CRT may become a potential serological marker in the diagnosis of RA.
