Stroke is one of the most common diseases among middle and senior - aged people,and depressive disorder,which hinders severely recovery and prognosis,is one of the complications of stroke.This paper analyzes the efficiency of social intervention mode on patients with post - stroke depressive disorder,and comes up with the conclusion that social intervention mode can not only help to ameliorate the occurrence of post - stroke depressive disorder,but also promote the recovery of patients' nervous function.Therefore,the social intervention mode can be regarded as an effective means for medical treatment.

Objective To investigate mechanisms of resistance to adriamycin(ADR)by human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and to find the alteration of features and celluar behavior of MCF-7 after exposure to ADR.MethodsProliferation speed,population doubling time of MCF(wild type),MCF-7/ADR(exposure to adriamycin)and withdrawl group were respectively tested.Cell phenotype alteration was detected using SP immunohiatochemistry methods.Results No significant difference of proliferation speed was found between MCF-7/ADR and MCF cells.As exposure time prolonged,withdrawl group cells grew faster,thus population doubling time shortened.Differentiation of MCF-7/ADR and wthdrawl group was lower than wild group.The expression of drug resistance associated marker of MCF-7/ADR such as Pgp,LRP,GST-pi,TOPOⅡwas higher than that of MCF-7,ER turned to express negatively,and expression of PR gradually decreased as exposure continued.Conclusion MCF-7 cells exposed to ADR got drug resistant,their proliferation was not suppressed by withdrawl of ADR and even grew faster.Drug resistant cells gained dedifferentiation ability.Their heredity and biochemistry features changed,expression of target enzyme also altered and was reversible by drug withdrawl.

Objective To investigate the brain glucose metabolism in different stage of mixed-type multiple system atrophy (MSA).Methods Forty-six MSA patients with cerebellar or Parkinsonian symptoms and 18 healthy controls with similar age as patients were included.According to the disease duration,the patients were divided into three groups: group 1 (≤ 12 months,n=14),group 2 (13-24 months,n=13),group 3 (≥ 25 months,n =19).All patients and controls underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT brain imaging.To compare metabolic distributions between different groups,SPM 8 software and two-sample t test were used for image data analysis.When P＜0.005,the result was considered statistically significant.Results At the level of P＜0.005,the hypometabolism in group 1 (all t＞3.49) was identified in the frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,insula lobe,anterior cingulate cortex,caudate nucleus and anterior cerebellar hemisphere.The regions of hypometabolism extended to posterolateral putamen and part of posterior cerebellar hemisphere in group 2 (all t＞3.21).In group 3,the whole parts of putamen and cerebellar hemisphere were involved as hypometabolism (all t＞4.08).In addition to the hypometabolism regions,there were also stabled hypermetabolism regions mainly in the parietal lobe,medial temporal lobe and the thalamus in all patient groups (all t＞3.27 in group 1,all t＞3.02 in group 2,all t＞3.30 in group 3).Conclusions Disease duration is closely related to the FDG metabolism in the MSA patients.Frontal lobe,lateral temporal lobe,anterior cingulate cortex and caudate nucleus can be involved at early stage of the disease.Putaminal hypometabolism begins in its posterolateral part.Cerebellar hypometabolism occurs early at its anterior part.Besides,thalamus shows hypermetabolism in the whole duration.18F-FDG metabolic changes of brain can reflect the development of mixed-type MSA.

Objective To explore the factors for the development of gallstones after gastrectomy. Methods 52 cases of patients with postgastrectumy,were retrospectively analyzed according to their diseases for gastrectomy and operation form. Results Incidence of gallstone in patients of postgastrectomy was higher than in general population. Among which, Billroth Ⅱ type of gastrectomy for carcinoma was the highest (35.5%), then the total gastrectomy (31.5%) and proximate gastrectomy(13.5%). Billroth Ⅰ type operation was 10.3%. Incidence of gallstone in pa-tients of selective vagotomy was lowest (2.5%). Condusion Billroth Ⅱ type of gastrectomy and total gastrectomy were the risk factors of postgastrectomy cholelithiasis. The causes for gallstone formation after Billroth Ⅱ type of gas-trectomy were the restitution of digestive canal and metabolic disorder of bile acid.

Objective To explore the effect of phenol oxidase antigen on liver pathologic change in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum. Methods 42d-aged adult worms were incubated in RPMI 1640 containing 0.05% sodium phenobarbital for 8 h. The worms were washed three times with PBS (pH 6.8) and homogenized with a Teflon pestle. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 3000 g for 20 min at 4 ℃. Supernatant fractions containing phenol oxidase (PO) were analyzed by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The rude antigen of PO was obtained by cutting the corresponding gel of PO activities. Three groups were set up to observe whether PO could induce protective immunity: experiment group, adjuvant control group and water control group. On day 42 post infection with (40?1) cercariae of Schistosoma japonicum, the mice were sacrificed to observe liver pathologic changes. Results The liver surface of PO immunized group was rather smooth and the liver color was slightly gray. A few pale nods were seen indistinctly but not clearly. Necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration were not clear. There were many immature eggs without granuloma reaction. The mean diameter and area of the granuloma in the experiment group were less than those in the control group. There were significant differences among the 3 groups (P

Objective To screen and identify proteins that interact with the hepatitis C virus core protein by means of T7-phage display system. Methods The hepatitis C virus core protein was expressed by prokaryotic expression and used as selected molecule to biopan the T7 human liver cDNA library. The selected positive clones were identified by DNA sequence and analyzed with BLAST program in GenBank. Results After BLAST in all positive clones, one protein--Smad interacting protein 1 (SIP1) was found to interact with the hepatitis C virus core protein. Conclusion T7-phage display system is a convenient, rapid and effective method for screening interacting proteins.

Using electron immunocytochemical method, the ultrastructural distribution and the synaptic connections of CCK-containing neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the rat were studied. The results showed that the CCK-like immunoreactive products located in farge granular vesicles, cytoplasmic matrix, at the periphery of small clear vesicles, rough endoplasmic reticulum and the membrane of mitochondria. The CCK-positive nerve cell bodies were large or small in size and distributed mainly in the medial part of the PVN, subependymal region and the vicinity of capillaries. Some of them as postsynaptic elements formed axosomatic synapses with CCK-negative axonal terminals. The CCK-positive dendrites and axons situated everywhere in the PVN. Some of them as postsynaptic elements formed axodendritic and axoaxonic synapses with CCK-negative structures. Some CCK-positive axonal endings surrounded the capillaries. Other CCK axonal terminals as presynaptic elements formed axosomatic, axondendritic and axo-axonic synapses with CCK-negative structures, respectively. In addition, we have first found that the CCK-positive dendrites penetrated ependyma and contacted directly with the cerebrospinal fluid in third ventricle, the CCK-positive axons traveled in the cavity of third ventricle near the ependyma. The above mentioned results suggested: (1) the soma, dendrite and axon of the CCK-containing neurons and CCK-negetive neurons in the PVN might form local neuronal circuit; (2) the neuron vessel circuit might be established between CCK-containing neurons and the blood vessels in the PVN; (3) the CSFcontacting neurons in the PVN may participate in forming brain-cerebrospinal fluid neurohumoral circuit and regulate functional activity of distal target area through the CSF pathway.
