Objective To study the current situation of migrant children' s social adaptation and ex?plore its influencing factors. Methods The study population was 1547 children aged 10?16 years recruited from Shijiazhuang city. Social adaptation was collected through social adaptation questionnaire,whereas self?control was measured by children' s self?control investigating questionnaire. The data were statistically ana?lyzed with the ANOVA and stepwise regression analysis. Results ①There was no significant difference on social adaptation scores between migrant children and urban children (3.71±0.65,3.70±0.69, P>0.05). ②Among migrant children,girls scored significantly higher than boys(3.80±0.59,3.63±0.69, P<0.01). And as the grade of the migrant children increased,the social adaptation scores decreased (3.82±0.68,3.72±0.64, 3.58±0.60, P<0.01). ③The poor control system had a significantly negative prediction on migrant children' s social adaptation ( β=-0.299, P<0.01),whereas the good self?control system had a significantly positive prediction on migrant children' s social adaptation ( β=0.243, P<0.01) . Both parent?child relationship and peer relationship significantly positively predicted migrant children ' s social adaptation ( β=0. 179, β=0.092, P<0.01) . There was no significant correlation between the proportion of the migrant children in the classes and migrant children's social adaptation (P>0.05). Conclusion There is no significant difference on social adaptation between migrant children and urban children. Children' s self?control,parent?child rela?tionship and peer relationship have significant influence on social adaptation of migrant children .

Objectives This study aimed at investigating the cellular mechanism of isoproterenol (ISO) on delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) and triggered activity (TA) of the noninfarcted myocardium in the myocardial infarcted rabbit model.Methods Rabbits with the left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion were prepared and recovered for 8 wk (healed myocardial infarction, HMI). Myocytes were isolated from regions of the noninfarcted left ventricular free wall. ISO was added to cellular surface by perfusion way. Action potentials and ion currents were recorded with whole-cell patch clamp. Results The results showed that treatment with ISO induced more DADs and TA events in HMI myocytes. Iti and ICa-L of myocytes treated with ISO were increased significantly compared with HMI cells, which contributed to DADs-related triggered arrhythmia. Conclusions The results suggested that more arrhythmia events of DADs and TA developed in myocytes with ISO treatment. The underlying mechanism was associated with the augment of Iu and calcium influxing.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of mild hypothermia (33-35 degrees C) on the outcome of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) (GCS<8). METHODS: Patients in the mild hypothermia group were cooled to 33-35 degrees C by cooling blanket with muscular relaxant, and patients in the normothermia group were maintained at 37-38 degrees C. RESULTS: The result showed that the mortality was 26.1% (6/23) in the mild hypothermia group and 58.3% (14/24) in the normothermia group respectively (P<0.05). The mild hypothermia also markedly reduced intracranial pressure (P<0.01 and inhibited hyperglycermia (P<0.05). No significant side-effects were found during hypothermic treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our clinical data have demonstrated that mild hypothermia is a useful method for management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

This article reports the investigation of the effect of carvedilol (Car) on T-type calcium current (I(Ca,T)) of noninfarcted ventricular myocytes in rabbit models of healed myocardial infarction (HMI). Rabbits with left anterior descending artery ligation were prepared and allowed to recover for 8 weeks, as HMI group. Animals undergoing an identical surgical procedure without coronary ligation were served as the sham-operated group (sham group). Whole cell voltage-clamp techniques were used to measure and compare currents in cells from the different groups. Noting that I(Ca,T) density in HMI cells increased markedly to -2.36 +/- 0.12 pA/pF (at -30 mV) compared with cells of sham, where little I(Ca,T) (-0.35 +/- 0.02 pA/pF) was observed. Meanwhile, further analysis revealed a significant hyperpolarizing shift of steady-state activation curve of I(Ca,T) in HMI cells, where the time constants of deactivation were prolonged and the time of recovery from inactivation was shortened. Finally, the amplitude of I(Ca,T) was increased. Carvedilol (1 micromol x L(-1)) was found to decrease the amplitude of I(Ca,T) to -1.38 +/- 0.07 pA/pF through inhibiting process of I(Ca,T) activation. Furthermore, carvedilol delayed recovery from inactivation of I(Ca,T) and shortened the time constants of deactivation in HMI cells. This study suggested that the application of carvedilol in HMI cells contributes to the dynamic changes in I(Ca,T) and may account for reduction of incidence of arrhythmia after myocardial infarction.
