Objective To investigate the effects of mobility training on mobility and the mRNA levels of both synaptophysin and growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) in the region around an infarction in rats with acute cerebral infarction. Methods Models of cerebral infarction were created in 100 rats through middle cerebral artery occlusion. They were then randomly divided into training and control groups. The motor skill of the rats was examined using a beam walking test. The mRNA levels of both synaptophysin and GAP-43 in the region around the infarction were observed at the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th days after model-creation using a semi-quantitive reverse transcrip-tion polymerase chain reaction. Results The rats' mobility scores increased with training, and significant differ-ences were observed between the average scores of the two groups at the 3rd, 7th and 14th days. The scores were higher in the training group. The mRNA levels of both synaptophysin and GAP-43 in the region around the infarction increased significantly from the 1st to the 3rd and 7th days. Synaptophysin mRNA levels were significantly higher in the trained group at each time point, but the levels of GAP-43 mRNA were significantly higher in the trained group only on the 3rd and 7th days. Conclusions Motor skill and the mRNA levels of synaptophysin and GAP-43 in the region around an infarction can be increased by motor skill training, at least in rats with model acute cerebral infarc-tion.

The definition of filum terminale vascular malformation is anterior/posterior spinal artery feeding arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous malformation and located below conus medullaris,and does not complicate with spinal vascular lesions in the other part. The Aminoff & Logue score and MRI of spinal cord function were performedatoneyearaftermicroneurosurgeryand/orendovascularembolization.Results Allpatients were males. Their clinical presentations were the weakness of both lower extremities and sphincter disturbance. The mean course of disease was 17. 1 ± 5. 2 months. The pathological type of the 6 patients were all arteriovenous fistulas. The feeding arteries included lumbar artery,internal iliac artery,and median sacral artery. Two of the 6 patients underwent Onyx glue embolization,3 were treated with microneurosurgery,and 1 was treated with embolization in combination with microneurosurgery. They were all achieved anatomic cure. The Aminoff & Logue scores were improved after 1 year (3. 8 ± 1. 9 scores before procedure,2. 8 ± 2. 0 scores after procedure),there was no significant difference (P >0. 05). The myodynamia scores were improved in 3 patients,2 did not change,1 got worse. The urinary and bowel functions were improved in 2 patients,and4didnotchange.Conclusion Filumterminalevascularmalformationisararevascular malformation of spinal cord. Both embolization and surgical treatment can achieve anatomic cure. Although the spinal cord function can be only partially restored,but continuous deterioration can be prevented.

Objective To construct a recombinant human adenovirus type 3 ( HAd3 ) vector ex-pressing one major epitope of dengue virus type 1.Methods The gene encoding the envelope protein (304-314 aa) of dengue virus type 1 was inserted into the hypervariable region 1 ( HVR1 ) of HAd3 hexon by using overlap PCR.The recombinant gene was cloned into the shuttle plasmid, then linearized with AsisⅠrestriction enzyme and co-transformed into Escherichia coli BJ5183 strains with the digested backbone plas-mid for homologous recombination.The recombinant plasmid pBRAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 was transfected into AD293 cells to rescue recombinant adenovirus strains (rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1).ELISA and Western blot as-say were performed to evaluate the humoral responses induced in BALB/c mice after the immunization with rAdΔE3GFP-DENV1 strains.Results The recombinant adenovirus strains were successfully rescued. ELISA and Western blot assay showed that the antibodies in serum sample could recognize dengue virus type 1 strains.Conclusion The recombinant adenovirus strains expressing the epitope of dengue virus type 1 were successfully constructed.This study provided evidence for the development of multivalent vaccines against dengue virus.

Objective To evaluate the effect of zinc deficiency factor on cognitive function after isoflurane anesthesia in mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods One hundred and forty-four APP/ PS1 transgenic mice with AD,weighing 22-28 g,aged 8-10 months,were divided into 6 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:zinc adequate group (group ZA),zinc adequate plus isoflurane anesthesia group (group ZA+Iso),zinc deficiency group (group ZD),zinc deficiency plus isoflurane anesthesia group (group ZD+Iso),zinc treatment group (group ZT) and zinc treatment plus isoflurane anesthesia group (group ZT+Iso).The mice were fed a diet adequate in zinc and deionized water for 2 months in ZA and ZA+Iso groups.The mice were fed a diet low in zinc (0.01‰ zinc) and deionized water for 1 month in ZD and ZD+Iso groups.The mice were fed a diet adequate in zinc and 0.12‰ ZnSO4 · 7H2O water for 2 months in ZT and ZT+Iso groups.The mice underwent 2 h of anesthesia with 1.4％ isoflurane starting from the end of feeding in ZA+Iso,ZD+Iso and ZT+Iso groups.At 24 h after anesthesia,the mice were sacrificed and hippocampal tissues were obtained for determination of the contents of soluble amyloid beta protein 40 (Aβ40) and Aβ42 and insoluble Aβ40 and Aβ42 (using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and expression of total Aβ,Aβ40,Aβ42,tau pSer396,tau pSer262 and tau pThr231 (by Western blot).Morris water maze test was performed at 24 h after anesthesia.Results There was no significant difference in each parameter between group ZA and group ZA+Iso and between group ZT and group ZT+Iso (P＞0.05).Compared with group ZD or group ZT+Iso,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the space exploration time was shortened,the expression of hippocampal Aβ42,tau pSer396,tau pSer262 and tau pThr231 was up-regulated,and the contents of soluble and insoluble Aβ42 were increased in group ZD+Iso (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Zinc deficiency can aggravate the impairment of cognitive function after isoflurane anesthesia in mice with AD,and the mechanism is related to the promotion of hippocampal Aβ aggregation and tau protein phosphorylation.

Objective:To analyze the syndrome differentiation medication law of TCM in treating overactive bladder (OAB) based on data mining techniques.Methods:The articles about the treatment of OAB with TCM were collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database, Chongqing VIP database and SinoMed. A prescription database for OAB was established. Methods such as frequency statistics, association rule analysis, clustering analysis, and factor analysis were used to analyze the medication law of the prescriptions.Results:The results showed that a total of 91 prescriptions were included, involving 134 kinds of Chinese materia medica. Five drugs were with a usage frequency of >30%. The top 4 categories with medication frequency were herbs for tonifying deficiency, herbs for inducing diuresis and draining dampness, herbs for relieving exterior syndrome and herbs for regulating qi. The properties of the included herbs were characterized by mild and warm, and the tastes were mainly sweet, pungent and bitter. The majority of meridian tropism was kidney meridian, supplemented by spleen, liver and lung meridians. The association rule analysis showed eight high-relevance medicine pairs, and four new candidate prescriptions were summarized after the clustering analysis, and six common factors were extracted by factor analysis.Conclusions:The location of the lesion of overactive bladder is mainly about the kidney, related to the spleen, liver and lung. And the pathogenesis is based on the kidney deficiency, which also due to the adverse qi transformation in triple energizer. Clinical medication is mainly about the herbs for tonifying deficiency and the herbs for inducing diuresis and draining dampness; at the same time those herbs for regulating qi and relieving exterior syndrome should be paid attention to, which are able to smooth and regulate the qi of the whole body.

Objective To develop a nomogram based on pulmonary nodules preoperative CT signs and 3D quantitative parameters for predicting mediastinal lymph node metastases in patients with clinical stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma.Methods The imaging data of 164 patients who underwent preoperative CT scan and systematic lymph node dissection were analyzed retrospectively.Commercially available AI software was used to extract 3D quantitative parameters of pulmonary nodules automatically,and CT signs of pulmonary nodules were analyzed.Logistic regression was used to explore the role of these parameters in predicting pathological nodal involvement.A nomogram prediction model was established,then discrimination and calibration of the model were evaluated.Results Among 164 enrolled patients,19(11.6％)were tested positive for mediastinal lymph node metastases at pathology review.The nomogram incorporated spiculation,lobulation,the largest cross-sectional area,and carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA).The model showed great discrimination and calibration,with a C-index of 0.942[95％confidence interval(CI)0.923-0.961].The predicted value of the model fitted well with the actual observed value on the calibration curve.Conclusion The nomogram prediction model based on preoperative CT signs,3D quantitative parameters,and CEA can estimate the probability of mediastinal lymph node metastases in clinical stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma.This model may help with clinical decision-making and individualized evaluation.

Objective To prepare human adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) vector expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP). Methods This study used a previously prepared plasmid pBRAd4 containing the whole genome DNA of Ad4-GZ01 strain. The Ad4 genome E3 region of pBRAd4 was deleted and replaced with the EGFP expression frame by conventional molecular cloning method.
