Objective To investigate the effects of nicergoline on expressions of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A receptor (5-HT1AR), D2 dopamine receptor (D2DR),α2A adrenaline receptor (α2AAR) in the hippocampal CA1 region and the serum level of apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) in a rat model of vascular depression (VD) . Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Daw ley rats w ere randomly al ocated into a normal control group, a model group, fluoxetine group, a low-dose nicergoline group, a medium-dose nicergoline group, and a nicergoline high-dose group ( n=8 in each group). A rat model of VD w as induced by the ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries combined w ith chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) plus single housing. The rats did not conduct CUMS or single housing in the normal control group, and the rats in the model group conducted CUMS and single housing. The rats in the fluoxetine group w ere given fluoxetine 1.3 mg/(kg· d) for gastric lavage for 3 w eeks at the beginning of CUMS and single housing. The rats in the low -, medium-and high-dose nicergoline groups w ere given nicergoline 0.9, 1.9 and 3.8 mg/(kg· d), respectively for gastric lavage for 3 w eeks at the beginning of CUMS and single housing. The normal control group and the model group w ere given equal volume of distil ed w ater for gastric lavage, once a day for 3 w eeks. Depression-like behavior w as evaluated using sucrose solution consumption and open-field test. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of 5-HT1AR, D2DR, andα2AAR in the hippocampal CA1 region. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay w as used to detect serum ApoE4 level. Results Before CUMS, the scores of horizontal and vertical movement and sucrose solution consumption in the model group, the fluoxetine group and each nicergoline group w ere decreased significantly compared w ith the normal control group (al P<0.01);w hile at 21 days after CUMS, those in the fluoxetine group and the nicergoline medium-and high-dose groups w ere significantly higher than those in the model group (al P<0.05). There w ere no significant differences betw een the fluoxetine group and each nicergoline group. The expression levels of 5-HT1A R, D2DR, α2A AR, and the serum ApoE4 in the model group, the fluoxetine group, and each nicergoline group w ere significantly higher than those in the normal control group. Those of the fluoxetine group and the nicergoline medium -and high-dose groups were significantly lower than the model group (al P<0.01), while there were no significant differences betw een the fluoxetine group and each nicergoline group. Conclusions Nicergoline can improve the depression-like behavior in VD rats. Its mechanism may be associated w ith the dow nregulation of 5-HT1AR, D2DR, α2AAR expressions and serum ApoE4 level.

Objective:To detect the polymorphism of ALDH2 gene in Chinese and to guide the rational use of nitroglycerin. Meth-ods:The polymorphism of ALDH2 (Glu504Lys) was measured by colorful gene chip. Results:The polymorphism of ALDH2 from 1026 clinical samples in China was detected by gene chip. The results showed that there were three genotypes. The distribution of the three genotypes of wild type [ALDH2(504Glu)], heterozygotes [ALDH2(Glu504Lys)] and homozygous mutant [ALDH2(504Lys)] was 61. 7%(623 samples), 31. 6%(319 samples) and 6. 6%(67 samples), respectively. Conclusion:Approximately one third of Chinese patients can not be treated by nitroglycerin. The gene detection method in the study is suitable for the guide of rational drug use in hospi-tal.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of the real-time tissue elastography (RTE)and AST/PLT ratio in-dex (APRI)for the assessment of the early stage liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients.Methods Totally 90 patients with chronic liver disease were enrolled in the present study.The RTE score and the area percentage of the blue color (AREA,one of the elastic characteristics),the AST and PLT were recorded.Compared the results among different stages of liver fibrosis reported by biopsy considered as the gold standard for the assessment of liver fibrosis.The accuracy of the diagnosis of liver fibrosis by RTE scores,AREA and APRI were compared.Results RTE scores,AREA and APRI increased with the stage of liver fibrosis. Taking ≥S1 as the diagnosis standard of the early stage liver fibrosis,the area under the curve of ROC for RTE scores,AREA and APRI were 0.88,0.92,0.76 (P <0.05).Conclusion RTE is a new and promising sonography-based noninvasive method for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.Combined RTE with APRI have great clinical significance in di-agnosing the early stage liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the language cortex organization characteristics of native Chinese. Methods20 patients who underwent language mapping via intraoperative direct cortical electrical stimulation (ioDCES) under awake anaesthesia for glioma in dominant hemisphere were analyzed retrospectively. Results16 patients were identified at least one language site, 3 patients located in the frontal and 1 patient in the temporal lobe. The language sites mostly located in the perisylvian region. The frontal language sites conformed to traditional Broca's areas, but the superior temporal gyrus contained much more language sites than the middle temporal gyrus.ConclusionHigh individual variability in language organization indicates a need for revision of the classical model of language localization. Because of the samples were too small, our current dates can't fully reflect language cortex organization characteristics of native Chinese.
