Objective:To explore the dynamic process of the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in hippocampus cells after convulsion through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Methods:Seizures with duration of 30 minutes(30min SC) were induced in infant and adult Wistar rats(IRs&ARs) respectively. The rats were sacrificed at 6 different time points after SC termination.Dynamic change of BDNF level in happocampal cells was investigated by immunocytochemistry and ELISA. Primary hippocampal neurons cultured for 9 days were exposed to magnesium-free extracellular solution media for 3h to establish seizure-like discharge model. BDNF protein expressed in cultured hippocampal neurons was detected by immunocytochemistry. Results:(1)The cells expression of BDNF increased in CA1-CA4 and dentate of hippocampus after SC,and the most positive immunoreactivity was in dentate. The expression of BDNF was remarkably up-regulated at 3h(from 6.65?1.60 pg/?g to 11.22?2.44pg/?g) after SC in IRs group (P

3.The effect of pregnant women's urinary iodine at 100 - 149 μg/L on thyroid function and offspring
Chinese Journal of Endemiology 2021;40(5):426-430
Iodine is an essential trace element for growth and development of fetus. More and more surveys currently show that the urinary iodine level of pregnant women is between 100 - 149 μg/L, which is lower than the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Under this level of iodine nutrition, different investigations have shown different effects on thyroid function of pregnant women, and the impact on growth and development of the fetus requires long-term objective evaluation. At present, there are three aspects: development, intelligence quotient (IQ), and psychological behavior. There are not many studies on comprehensive evaluation. This article combs the related published research to provide a reference for further clarifying the influence of iodine nutrition level during pregnancy on thyroid function of pregnant women and the growth and development of their offspring.

Objective To study changes in the expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 of mononuclear cells and the related chemotatic factor macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) in the livers of rats with Walker-256 tumors treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and to elucidate the influence of RFA on differentiation and migration of liver dendritic cells(DCs).Methods Walker-256 liver tumors were induced in 60 SpragueDawley rats by implanting tumor particles. These rats were randomly divided equally into three groups from which liver tissue around the local area of the tumor was sampled at 7 d and 14 d after RFA. The mononuclear liver cells were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 in the mononuclear cells were analyzed with flow cytometry. The expression level of MIP-1α in the liver tissue was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The average expression of OX-6 in the control rats was 15.29 ±4.59% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 34.20±11.62% and 39.18±9.14% respectively. The difference between the two RFA groups and the control group was statistically significant. The average expression rate of OX-62 in the control rats was 18.91±4.58% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 24.49±4.45% and 22.77 ± 3.50% respectively. The difference between the 7 d group and the control group was significant. The average expression rate of CD86 in the control rats was 66.29±17.69% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 55.29±10.69% and 55.93±12.64% respectively. These differences between both RFA groups and the controls group were not significant. The average expression level of MIP-1 α around the tumors was 232.92±54.58 pg/ml in the controls and 499.38±15.14 pg/ml and 495.90±9.94 pg/ml 7d and 14 d after RFA respectively. These differences from the controls were both statistically significant. Conclusion The expression of MIP-1α around the tumors was elevated after RFA, which could promote the migration of DCs. The changes in the expression of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 also could reflect increased DC differentiation, which could improve local antigen-presenting capacity to a certain extent and recovery of host anti-tumor immune response.

Objective To study the change of spleen Dendritic cells in normal rats treated by radio-frequency ablation(RFA). Methods Eighteen healthy SD rats were separated into group 1 week after RFA with 6 rats,group 2 week after RFA with 6 rats and control group with 6 rats. Spleen tissue were taken out respectively before RFA, 1 week after RFA and 2 weeks after RFA. The number and the phenotype of Dendritic cells in spleen were analyzed with flowcytometry. Results Pathologyical examination after RFA showed the characteristic that coagulation necrosis and cellular degeneration and granulation tissue forming appeared from target center to peripheral of the target. (10. 36±3. 21) % of normal rat mononuclear cells in spleen express OX-62, the ratio became (18. 03±5. 7) % 1 week after RFA and (12. 63±8. 0) % 2 weeks after RFA, the difference between group 1 week after RFA and control group was marked. (76. 33±7. 86) % of normal rat mononuclear cells in spleen express OX-6,the ratio became (78.33±7.25)% 1 week after RFA and (86. 04±7. 25) % 2 weeks after RFA, the difference between group 2 weeks after RFA and control group was marked. (63. 06±8. 77) % of normal rat mononuclear cells in spleen express CD86,the ratio was (55. 74±14. 49)% 1 week after RFA and (63.49±11.81)% 2 weeks after RFA,the difference between groups 1 week or 2 weeks after RFA and control group was not marked. Conclusions RFA can increasing the number of precursor Dendritic cells migrating from peripheral blood to spleen, and those cells may furtherly differentiate or maturate, which may be contributed to improve the ability delivery of body to antigen to a certain extent.

Objective:To find absorbable adhesives with suitable bonding properties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post. To test and compare the bond strengths of absorbable polylactic acid root canal post with three different adhesives. Methods:The absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts were used to restore the extracted teeth, using 3 different adhesives: cyanoacrylates, fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement. The teeth were prepared into slices for micro-push-out test. The bond strength was statistically analyzed using ANOVA. The specimens were examined using microscope and the failure mode was divided into four categories:cohesive failure between absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and adhesives, cohesive failure between dentin and adhesives, failure within the adhesives and failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts. Results:The bond strength of cyanoacrylates [(16. 83 ± 6. 97) MPa] and glass ionomer cement [(12. 10 ± 5. 09) MPa] were significantly higher than fibrin sealant [ ( 1 . 17 ± 0 . 50 ) MPa ] , P <0 . 001 . There was no significant difference between cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement (P =0. 156). In the group of cyanoacrylates, the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 25 . 0%, the cohe-sive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 16. 7%, the failure within the adhesives was 33. 3%, and the failure within the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts was 25 . 0%. In the group of fibrin sealant , the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 66 . 7%, the cohesive failure between the dentin and the adhesives was 22 . 2%, the failure within the ad-hesives was 11. 1%. In the group of glass ionomer cement, the cohesive failure between the absorbablepolylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives was 87. 5%, the failure within the adhesives was 12. 5%. The major failure mode in fibrin sealant and glass ionomer cement was the cohesive failure between the absorbable polylactic acid root canal posts and the adhesives. No major failure modes were found in the group of cyanoacrylates. Conclusion:The bond strength of fibrin sealant is low, which cannot meet the requirement of clinical use. The bond strengths of cyanoacrylates and glass ionomer cement are suitable for clinical use. The cyanoacrylates are a kind of absorbable adhesive which has suitable bonding proper-ties for the absorbable polylactic acid root canal post.

Objective To determine the clinical characteristic, main treatment, and prognosis for the sake of more effective treatments for critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza. Methods Eight critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza in intensive care unit were retrospectively studied, including clinical characteristics, indexex of correlation, and prognosis. Results The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ score was 19.0±7.8. Five patients died, 4 of whom were caused by respiratory failure. The number of platelets in dead patient was lower than that in healing and improved ones(χ2=8.000,P<0.05).All the 4 patients treated with glucocorticoid died, 5 out of the 6 patients received invasive mechanical ventilation rather than noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and 3 of them who complicated barotraumas in the lung died at last. Conclusion Critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza have high mortality. Respiratory failure is the main cause of death. Critically ill patients with H1N1 influenza should not be treated with glucocorticoid. Patients who need mechanical ventilation should be treated with invasive mechanical ventilation with low tidal volume and low positive end-expiratory pressure.
