BACKGROUND:Exercises play an important role in the recovery of neurological function after stroke. Few studies concerned the amount of exercise in rats after stroke. Hippocampus is strongly associated with cognitive function, but no reports addressed the expression of repulsive guidance molecule A in the rat hippocampus after ischemia and reperfusion. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of exercise on repulsive guidance molecule A expression in the hippocampus on the ischemic side in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:120 Sprague-Dawley rats were equal y and randomly divided into normal group, sham-operation group, and 7-, 14-, 28-day model groups. The model of right cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by ligation with nylon monofilament in rats of 7-, 14-, 28-day model groups. Low exercise group received treadmil training of 5 m/min, 5 minutes;7 m/min, 5 minutes;9 m/min, 20 minutes. Moderate exercise group received treadmil training of 8 m/min, 5 minutes;10 m/min, 5 minutes;13 m/min, 20 minutes. High exercise group received treadmil training of 8 m/min, 5 minutes;11 m/min, 5 minutes;20 m/min, 20 minutes. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression was highest in the ischemic side of the hippocampus in the 7-day model group without excercise. Moreover, repulsive guidance molecule A relative expression gradual y reduced over time. Compared with non-exercise, repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression significantly decreased in the 14-and 28-day model groups during moderate exercise (P<0.05), but repulsive guidance molecule A mRNA and protein expression increased during high exercise. Above data confirmed that moderate exercises could decrease repulsive guidance molecule A expression in the affected side of the hippocampus of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objective To observe the effect of ischemic postconditioning on neuron structure plasticity and memory after global cerebral ischemia injury in rats and discuss the protection mechanism from aspect of Morphology. Methods A total of 36 SD male rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, global cerebral ischemia for 15 min group and global cerebral ischemia plus postconditioning group, 12 rats per group. The pullsinelli 4 vessel occlusion was applied to produce the models of global cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury, common carotid arteries (CCA) occlusion with 15 min and postconditioning with three cycles, of 15 sec release and 15 sec occlusion (15s/15s). Six rats from each group were evaluated by Morris Maze test for the ability of space learning and memory and the other six rats were evaluated by golgi stain for morphologic change of neuron. Results The ischemic postcondtioning group showed significant shorter mean escape latency compared with the sham operated group ( at day 3, P =0. 014; at day 4, P =0.040; at day 5, P =0.001 ). The density of dendritic spine in ischemic postcondtioning group was increased more significantly compared with ischemic group ( F = 562. 820,P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning has obvious protective effect on cerebral ischemiainduced memory impairment, which may be related to alleviation of dendritic spine injury.

In recent years,with the increasement of intracranial pressure detection accuracy,the use of intracranial pressure detection in clinic become more common.Various of technologies are used in clinic that can be divided into invasive methods,such as epidural catheter,subarachnoid bolt,intraventricular catheter,fiberoptic catheter and micro-sensors transducer,and non-invasive methods,such as evoked otoacoustic emissions,transocular method,transcranial doppler,imaging method and magnetic induction method.This paper reviews the physiological basis of intracranial pressure detection and common intracranial pressure detection techniques,especially on noninvasive intracranial pressure detection methods.Advantages and disadvantages of different intracranial pressure detection methods are listed,and an outlook of the development of non-invasive intracranial pressure detection technology are made.

Objective To detect the effect of olfactory bulb(OB)lesion on proliferation,migration and differentiation of the neural stem cells(NSCs)in the subventricular zone(SVZ).Methods Forty-two healthy female SD rats were enrolled and randomly divided into normal control group,isotonic saline group and OB lesion at day 3,at weeks 1,2,3 and 4 groups,six rats per group.OB lesion was induced by N-methyl-D-aspartic acid(NMDA)injection.Bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)was injected intraperitoneally to label NSCs.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the proliferation of SVZ NSCs.In addition,another 18 rats were randomly divided into normal control group,isotonic saline group and lesion group,six rats per group.BrdU was injected intraperitoneally one week after OB lesion and then the animals were sacrificed four weeks after BrdU injection to detect the migration and differentiation of NSCs with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence.Results Three days after OB lesion,BrdU-positive cells in SVZ began to increase(26.33 ± 2.58,P ＜0.01),reached the maximum at week 1 (35.33 +3.01,P＜0.01)and still sustained a high level at week 4(19.50+ 2.26,P＞0.05).Five weeks after the OB lesion,the rostral migratory-stream(RMS)and the BrdU-positive cells in OB were significantly increased(86.50 + 5.09,P ＜ 0.01)and(52.83 + 3.87,P ＜ 0.01),respectively.By using fluorescence double staining,most of the BrdU-positive cells were co-localized with the neuronal nuclear antigen(Neun),with a portion of BrdU-positive cells expressing the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).Conclusions OB lesion can improve the proliferation of NSCs in SVZ and migration of NSCs to OB.The newborn cells can differentiate into not only neurons,but also gliocytes and may be involved in lesion repair.

The real-time monitoring of cerebral hemorrhage can reduce its disability and fatality rates greatly. On the basis of magnetic induction phase shift, we in this study used filter and amplifier hardware module, NI-PXI data-acquisition system and LabVIEW software to set up an experiment system. We used Band-pass sample method and correlation phase demodulation algorithm in the system. In order to test and evaluate the performance of the system, we carried out saline simulation experiments of brain hemorrhage. We also carried out rabbit cerebral hemorrhage experiments. The results of both saline simulation and animal experiments suggested that our monitoring system had a high phase detection precision, and it needed only about 0.030 4s to finish a single phase shift measurement, and the change of phase shift was directly proportional to the volume of saline or blood. The experimental results were consistent with theory. As a result, this system has the ability of real-time monitoring the progression of cerebral hemorrhage precisely, with many distinguished features, such as low cost, high phase detection precision, high sensitivity of response so that it has showed a good application prospect.

Objective To summarize the experience in management of main hepatic vein injury due to hepatectomy for hepatic neoplasm of segment Ⅷ. Methods Clinical data of 64 patients suffering from main hepatic vein injury due to hepatectomy of hepatic neoplasm of segment Ⅷ in our hospital from October 1996 to October 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Both the main trunks of the middle and right hepatic vein were injured in 34 patients, single right hepatic vein in 13 and middle hepatic vein in 17. In these patients with hepatic vein injury, the main trunk of the hepatic vein was repaired in 39, vessels ligated in 12 and direct liver wound surfaces sutured in 12. The hepatectomy and hemostasis were successfully performed during operation in all patients. After operation, 3 patients had active bleeding and 2 patients were reoperated on to sew up the bleeding points by wadding with the gelatin sponge and discharged after rehabilitation. One patient gave up treatment and was discharged automatically. Conclusion Main hepatic vein injury in hepatectomy of hepatic neoplasm of segment Ⅷ can be managed effectively by hepatic vein repair, hepatic vein ligation and suture of the liver section that can be chosen to control the bleeding of hepatic vein injury according to the actual conditions.

This study was aimed to improve the sensitivity of magnetic induction phase shift detection system for cerebral hemorrhage. In the study, a cerebral hemorrhage model with 13 rabbits was established by injection of autologous blood and the cerebral hemorrhage was detected by utilizing magnetic induction phase shift spectroscopy (MIPSS) detection method under the feature band. Sixty five groups of phase shift spectroscopy data were obtained. According to the characteristics of cerebral hemorrhage phase shift spectroscopy under the feature hand, an effective method, B-F distribution, to diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage was designed. The results showed that using MIPSS detection method under feature band, the phase shift obviously growed with increase of injection volume of autologous blood, and the phase shift induced by a 3-mL injection reached -7.750 3 degrees ± 1.420 4 degrees. B-F distribution could effectively diagnose the severity of cerebral hemorrhage. It can be concluded that the sensitivity of the cerebral hemorrhage magnetic induction detection system is improved by one order of magnitude with the MIPSS detection method under the feature band.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of occupational high temperature exposure on type 2 diabetes( T2 DM) in male steel workers. METHODS: A cluster random sampling method was used to select 684 male steel workers,who exposed to occupational high temperature in a steel enterprise in Tangshan City,as the high temperature group,and 1 153 male steel workers without occupational high temperature exposure as the control group. The high temperature level of workers in these two groups was measured. The cumulative exposure( CE) of high temperature was calculated,and occupational health exam was performed. The multivariate logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the relationship between high temperature CE and T2 DM. RESULTS: The prevalence of T2 DM in high-temperature group was higher than that in the control group( 13. 0% vs 7. 9%,P < 0. 05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis results showed that the risk of T2 DM in the high temperature group was higher than that in the control group after adjusting for age,body mass index,smoking,drinking,physical exercise and parents with diabetes( P < 0. 05). The 95% confidence interval was 1. 65( 1. 17-2. 33). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed that the high temperature CE was correlated with the prevalence of T2 DM in workers( P < 0. 01) and showed a linear correlation( nonlinearity test,P > 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Occupational high temperature exposure is associated with the occurrence of T2 DM in male steel workers. The male steel workers with high temperature CE show high prevalence of T2 DM risk.
