Objective:To investigate the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) like behavior of offspring mice induced by stress during pregnancy and its mechanism.Methods:Chronic unpredictable stress was applied to ICR pregnant mice in different gestational periods. The offspring mice were randomly selected and the behavior changes of each group were observed in open field experiment (CG: control group; SG1: cums stress stimulation from 8 to 14 days of gestation; SG2: cums stress stimulation from 15 days of gestation to childbirth). The plasma concentrations of GABA, its metabolic enzymes and dopamine were detected by ELISA.Results:The results of open field experiment showed that the total distance, the time of stay in central area, the speed in central area, and the speed in surrounding area in SG1 group, SG2 group and CG group were statistically significant ( F=8.30, 5.01, 8.05, 7.15, all P<0.05). The total distances of SG1 group and SG2 group were significantly longer than that of CG group ((5 221.07±469.95)mm, (4 825.63±545.49)mm, (3 781.17±111.34)mm, both P<0.05).The times of stay in central area of SG1 and SG2 groups were shorter than that in CG group ((5.95±3.32)s, (8.59±3.42)s, (11.10±3.61)s, all P<0.05). The speeds in central area of SG1 and SG2 groups were faster than that of CG group ((30.93±5.79)mm/s, (32.48±9.06)mm/s, (20.57±5.07)mm/s, all P<0.05).The speed in surrounding area in SG1 group was faster than that in CG group ((16.91±1.64)mm/s), (12.42±3.77)mm/s, P<0.05). ELISA results showed that there were significant differences in mice plasma GABA, GAD65, GAD67 and DA among CG group, SG1 group and SG2 group ( F=16.52, 6.42, 11.04, 7.26, all P<0.05).The plasma concentrations of GABA in SG1 group and SG2 group were lower than that in CG group ((3.70±0.80)μmol/L, (4.40±0.80)μmol/L, (6.06±1.01)μmol/L, all P<0.05).The plasma concentrations of GAD65 ((5.36±0.75)μg/L, (6.99±1.01)μg/L, P<0.05)and GAD67((10.52±1.09)μg/L, (9.84±1.35)μg/L, (12.83±1.67)μg/L, P<0.05)in SG1 group were lower than those in CG group. The plasma DA concentration in SG1 group ((82.81±8.59)ng/L) was higher than that in CG group ((69.43±9.42)ng/L, P<0.05) and SG2 group ((66.36±10.77)ng/L, P<0.05). Conclusion:Prenatal stress can induce ADHD-like behavioural phenotypes in offspring mice, which may be related to the influence of plasma GABA metabolism and DA concentration.

Objective To compare clinical effects of continuous spinal, epidural and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia for arthroplasty in the elderly over 70 years. Methods Sixty geriatric patients, ASA status Ⅱ~Ⅲ degree, aged 71~98 yr, undergoing arthroplasty operation on hip or knee joint, were randomly assigned to group of continuous spinal anesthesia, group of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, or group of continuous epidural anesthesia, with twenty patients of per group. T_ 10 anesthesia level was aimed by 0.5% bupivacaine titrated carefully. Results All anesthesia were clinically satisfied with average anesthesia level T_ 10(T_ 7~11). Bromage's motor blockade scale in group of continuous spinal anesthesia was higher than that in group of continuous epidural anesthesia. Amount of bupivacaine consumptions were (8.0?1.8)mg, (13.7?9.7)mg, (39.4?16.6)mg in groups of continuous spinal anesthesia, combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, and continuous epidural anesthesia respectively (P0.05). Conclusions With 0.5% bupivacaine titrated carefully, all kinds of continuous spinal, epidural and combined spinal-epidural anesthesia are clinical efficient in the elderly over 70 years for arthroplasty, of which continuous spinal anesthesia is recommended due to the most stable hemodynamics.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of green tea-based cream at different con- centrations on photoaging and photo-immunosuppression. Methods Twenty healthy female volunteers were enrolled into this study with informed consent. Green tea-based cream with a mass fraction of 2%-5% (pre- pared by adding green tea extracts to an emollient formulation), excipient or green tea extracts alone were applied to six unexposed sites on the back of these volunteers. Thirty minutes later, these treated sites were subjected to solar-simulated ultraviolet irradiation (ssUVR) with a 1.5-fold minimal erythema dose once a day for 4 days. At 6, 24 and 48 hours after the last irradiation, green tea-based cream were applied repeatedly to the corresponding sites. Biopsy specimens were obtained from the seven sites 72 hours following the last irradiation, and immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect cytokeratin 5/6 and 16 expression, as well as the densities of CDla- or HLA-DR-positive cells. Resttlts Green tea-based cream at a mass fraction of 2% to 3% could effectively prevent ssUVR-induced obvious erythema and hyperpigmentation. The posi- tivity (+) rates plus strong positivity (++) rates reached 50% and 25% for CK5/6 in the sites treated with ssUVR only and those irradiated and protected with green tea cream at a mass fraction of 3%, respectively, 69% and 31% in the sites treated with ssUVR only and those irradiated and protected with green tea-based cream at a mass fraction of 2%, respectively. Compared with the control site without irradiation or protec- tion, a decrease over 75% was noticed in the density of epidermal CD1a- or HLA-DR- positive Langerhans cells in the irradiated sites without protection, and green tea-based cream, especially those at a mass fraction of 3%, could effectively inhibit the density decrease. Conclusion Green tea extracts could effectively pro- tect skin from photoaging and photo-immunosuppression with the optimal mass fraction at 2% or 3%.

Objective:To observe the effects of rolling manipulation with different durations on erector spinae muscle tonus and low back pain in patients with lumbar muscle strain and to explore the best duration for rolling manipulation in treating lumbar muscle strain. Methods:A total of 75 patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into a 5-minute rolling manipulation group,a 10-minute rolling manipulation group,and a 15-minute rolling manipulation group using the random number table method,with 25 cases in each group.All three groups were treated with the same rolling manipulation,while the treatment time was 5 min,10 min,and 15 min,respectively.The treatment was performed 3 times a week for 2 consecutive weeks.The muscle tonus of bilateral erector spinae and visual analog scale(VAS)score for low back pain were compared among the three groups before and after treatment. Results:A total of 63 patients completed the study.Before treatment and after the last treatment,there were no statistical differences in the muscle tonus of the left erector spinae and right erector spinae among the three groups(P>0.05).After the last treatment,bilateral erector spinae muscle tonus dropped compared with the baseline in all three groups(P<0.01).Before treatment and after the last treatment,there were no significant differences in comparing the low back pain VAS score among the three groups(P>0.05).After the last treatment,the VAS score for low back pain in all three groups decreased(P<0.01). Conclusion:Under the condition that the forward swing force is 50-70 N,the backward swing force is 20-40 N,and the frequency is 138 times/min,the 5-minute rolling manipulation can significantly reduce the muscle tonus of erector spinae and relieve low back pain.
