Objective To explore the clinical effect of atomoxetine on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)comorbid tic disorder.Methods The children who met the criteria of Mental Disorders Diagnostic and Statistical Manual diagnostic criteria for ADHD and tic symptoms were given systematic atomoxetine titration reaching the optimum dose.ADHD and tic symptoms were evaluated with ADHD rating scale-Ⅳ(ADHD-RS-Ⅳ)for parents Yale Global Tic Severity Scale(YGTSS),respectively.Results Twenty children with ADHD comorbid tic disorder [17 male,3 female;age range 7.58-17.0 years,mean age(10.55?2.58)years] completing systemic titration was enrolled in the study,including 10 subjects with ADHD-inattentive type,9 mixed type,and 1 hyperactive/impulsive type.The mean optimal dose was(1.19?0.21)mg/(kg?d).The total score(12.65?9.08)scores,inattention score(7.45?4.75)scores and hyperactivity/impulsivity score(3.0)of ADHD-RS-Ⅳ decreased significantly post-treatment compared with pro-treatment(31.10?8.52,17.60?3.09,and 13.0 scores,respectively,P

Background Sugar cataract is one of the major diabetic complications in the eye,but there is not effective medicine to prevent or delay development of cataract. Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the effects and the potential mechanism of aldose reductase (AR) inhibitor,AL-1576 on prevention of galactose cataract in rats. Methods Forty-two SD rats were randomly and equally divided into 7 groups.The cataracts were induced by feeding with 50％ galactose.At the day of feeding galactose and the day 5,10 and 15 after feeding galactose,AL-1576 was added into the feeds.The rats were divided AL-1576 prevention group and early-,intermediate-or late-stage intervention groups.For another group,the withdrawing AL-1576 group,AL-1576 was added into the feeds at the day of feeding galactose,then was removed after 10 days.The lenses of the rats were examined under the slit-lamp microscope before and after given AL-1576 every 5 days.At the day 35,the lenses were obtained.The wet and dry weight of the lenses were weighted,respectically,to calculate the water content of the lenses.Activities of AR and superoxidedismutase (SOD) and contents of glutathione (GSH) of the lenses were measured by their commercial detecting kits.The care and use of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission. Results In AL-1576 prevention group,all lenses maintained clear.Opacification of the lenses were significantly attenuated in all three AL-1576 intervention groups and withdrawing AL-1576 group compared with the cataractous model group ( P＜0.05),but the inhibiting role was weaken with late intervention.The water contents and the activities of AR of the lenses were decreased,the contents of SOD and GSH were dramatically increased in all different AL-1576 treated groups compared with the cataractous model group (P＜0.05).Moreover,AL-1576 prevention group showed the best effect on all indexes (P＜0.05). Conclusions The activity of AR can be inhibited by AL-1576 at the different stages of development of cataract induced by galactose.By blocking and attenuating formation of the edema and elevating antioxdative capacity in the lenses,AL-1576 prevents and delays the formation of galactose cataract.

Aim: To study the effects of berberine( Ber) on the rapidly activating component( Ⅰ_(Kr)), the slowly activating component(Ⅰ_(Ks)) of the delayed rectifier potassium current and the inward rectifier potassium current(Ⅰ_(K1)) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Methods: After guinea pigs were ip L-thyroxine 0. 5 mg/kg for 10 d, their hearts were cardiomyopathic. Then whole cell patch-clamp recording technique was used to observe the effect of 30 μmol/L Ber on the Ⅰ_(Kr), Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Results: In cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, Ber 30 μmol/L markedly inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) by 22. 8% and 29. 5% at + 10 mV and + 80 mV, respectively. The effect of Ber on Ⅰ_(Ks) was greater than that on Ⅰ_(Kr). Ber 30 μmol/L also inhibited the inward component of Ⅰ_(K1) by 29. 1% at + 120 mV, but the reverse potential of Ⅰ_(K1) was unaffected. Ber( 1-300 μmol/L) was shown to inhibit Ⅰ_(Kr) and Ⅰ_(Ks) in a concentration-dependent manner. Their IC_(50), were 76. 74 μmol/L and 55. 37 μmol/L, respectively. Conclusion: Ber inhibited Ⅰ_(Kr),Ⅰ_(Ks) and Ⅰ_(K1) in cardiomyopathic guinea pig ventricular myocytes, which may be important in understanding the antiarrhythmic effects of this drug.

[Objective] To study the effect of celecoxib on osteoblast apoptosis induced by titanium particle in neonatal rats. [Methods]The best in vitro celecoxib serum concentration for promoting proliferation of osteoblast in neonatal rats was obtained through MTT.One group of rat osteoblast in vitro was cultured with serum containing saline and titanium particle and the other was cultured with serum containing celecoxib and titanium particles.Concentrations of TNF-? and PGE-2 in cells collected after 24 hours were analyzed by ELLSIA,COX-2 mRNA and protein were indicated by FO-PCR and Westren blot.[Results]Some cellar factors such as COX-2,TNF-? and PGE-2 could be induced by titanium particle in in vitro,but celecoxib could inhibit expression of these factors by COX-2 pathway.[Conclusion]Celecoxib coule be a promising drug for treatment of aseptic loosening.

Objective To investigate the clinical results of resection of periacetabular tumors and reconstruction with fibular autograft. Methods Eight patients with tumors around acetabular were treated surgically in Tongji Hospital between January 1999 and April 2003. The series comprised 5 males and 3 females, with an average age of 39.6 years old (range, 21-65 years old). One patient was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, 2 with chondrosarcoma, 3 with metastatic bone tumor, 1 with giant cell tumor(GCT), and 1 with aneurysmoid bone cyst. There were ⅠB in one patient, ⅡB in 3 patients according to Enneking surgical staging in four primary malignant tumors patients. The tumors involved the zones Ⅱ of Enneking classification in 5 patients, the zonesⅠand Ⅱin 3 patients. All the 8 patients with periacetabular tumors underwent resection and reconstruction with fibular autograft(including 3 cases of a free vascularized fibular graft). Functional results were evaluated according to the system of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society. Results Bony union occurred 15.2 weeks (range 14-16 weeks) in 5 patients reconstructed with non-vascularized fibular graft and 13.6 weeks (range 12-15 weeks) in 3 patients reconstructed with vascularized fibular graft after the initial surgery. Five of them were followed up ranged from 14 to 42 months (mean 28 months). There were continuously disease-free without complications during follow-up. At the final followup, the average functional score was 22 (range 18-27) according to the system of the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society. The good and excellent rate of functional results was 100%. Conclusion Tumor resection and reconstruction by fibular autograft is an effective treatment for patients with periacetabular tumors. Satisfactory postoperative function was obtained, and relief of pain and walking independently could be achieved with a high level of patient satisfaction.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome in the aged. Methods Forty-two over 60 patients with obstruction sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) and 42 matched but less than 60 years OSAHS patients were selected, who were admitted to our hospital from February 2003 to December 2005. The clinical presentations and the results of PSG monitoring were analyzed between the two groups. Results The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and microarousal index (MAI) in the aged group were significantly lower than that in the younger group (P0.05). The number of severe OSAHS in the aged group was less than in the younger group (P

Objective To determine the clinical characteristics of post ictal headache (PIH) and clinical risk factors associated with the occurrence of PIH in patients with localization related epilepsy.Methods The subjects were 47 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE),21 patients with occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE),and 29 patients with frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE).The subjects were directly asked whether headaches occurred just after seizures and its characteristics.Results The characteristics of PIH were:throbbing quality,which was exacerbated by coughing,vomiting,bending,and sudden head movement,accompanied by photophobia,phonophobia,and relieved by sleep.The incidence of PIH was 21 3% for TLE,61 9% for OLE,and 41 4% for FLE.The risk of PIH was significantly higher for OLE than for TLE or FLE,and for patients with generalized tonic clonic seizures.Younger onset age of epilepsy was also a risk factor for PIH.Conclusions PIH possess some characteristics similar to migraine.The occurrence of PIH may be related to the region of epileptic focus and the region of the spread of epileptic discharges.

Background A stable diabetic cataract animal model is a premise for screening and evaluating the drug for cataract therapy.Galactose cataract model is widely used in relevant experimental study,but the onset,extent and the type of lens opacification may be different due to different modeling way.Objective This study was to investigate the manifestations and pathological characteristics of cataract induced by D-galactose.Methods Fifty-six SPF SD rats were randomly divided into cataract-model group and control group and 28 rats for each group.50% D-galactose feed was given daily in model group,and regular feed was given in control group.Lenses of rats were examined under the slit lamp through the 30-day period at a 2-day interval,and then the opacity of lenses was graded on the modified Suryanarayana criteria.The body weight of rats was recorded and compared between two groups at day 5,10,15,20,25 and 30.The lenses samples were obtained for the histopathological examination by hemotoxylin and eosin staining.The wet weight,dry weight of the lenes and their ratio were detected and compared between these two groups.The use of animals followed the Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The body weight was reduced in model rats compared with control rats with the statistically significant difference from 10 days through 30 days(P＜0.05).The different grades of opacification of lens cortical and nuclear progressed in model rats throughout the experiment duration,but the lenses were clear in control rats.The slit-lamp microscopy and pathological examinations revealed that lenses opacity in model rats started from the cortex at the equator zone and developed towards central zone gradually with the lapse of experimental time.Following the entire opacity of lens cortex,lens nucleus were cloudy and expanded.The swelling and degeneration of the fiber cells in lens cortex,the differentiation,migration and denuclearation delay of lens epithelial cells were seen in model rats under the light microscope.The wet weight of lenses was increased and the dry weight was decreased in model rats in comparison with control rats in experimental 30 days,showing significant difference between two groups(t=138.571,t=52.468,P＜0.05).Conclusion The development of galactose-induced cataract animal model resemble one of age-related cortical cataract in human with the similar generating mechanism.This cataract model is reproducible and classifiable.
