Objective To investigate the effects of postoperative sleep deprivation on the expression of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in hippocampi of aged rats.Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats,aged 20 months,weighing 500-600 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) ; operation group (group O) ; sleep deprivation group (group S) ; postoperative sleep deprivation group (group OS).Sleep deprivation was induced in the rats by housing them on small platforms over water.They fell into the water if they lost muscle tone.All the rats had free access to food and water.In group OS,splenectomy was performed,and all the rats underwent 24 h sleep deprivation after the rats were awake.All the rats underwent 24 h sleep deprivation at the corresponding time point in group S.Morris water maze test was carried out at 24 h after operation.The number of ChAT positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region was counted after completion of Morris water maze test.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,and the frequency of crossing the original platform and the number of ChAT positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region were decreased after operation in O and OS groups,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group S.Compared with group O,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased,and there was no significant difference in the numberof ChAT positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region in group OS,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group S.Compared with group S,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,and the frequency of crossing the original platform and the number of ChAT positive cells in the hippocampal CA1 region were decreased after operation in group OS.Conclusion The mechanism by which postoperative sleep deprivation induces cognitive decline is not related to the expression of ChAT in hippocampi of aged rats.

Abstract? AIM: To analysis the relation of severity of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with the levels of amino acids and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in the serum and in subretinal fluid.? METHODS: Forty -eight patients ( 52 eyes ) with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated in our hospital were selected.According to the degree of retinal detachment, patients were divided into <1/2 quadrant group, 1/2-3/4 quadrant group and>3/4 quadrant group. Fifty-five healthy objects for physical examination in our hospital were selected as the control group, to compare the differences of amino acids and VEGF levels in the serum.Correlation analysis on VEGF levels and amino acids in the serum and in subretinal fluid among patients with different grades of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was conducted.? RESULTS: In patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, the tryptophan in serum was 28.59±4.46mg/L, phenylalanine 8.95 ±2.55mg/L, methionine 8.15 ±2.17mg/L, valine 28.62 ±5.29mg/L, histidine 18.96 ±1.85mg/L and VEGF 589.92 ±185.34μg/L, which were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The levels of phenylalanine was 9.85 ±1.21mg/L, histidine 20.63 ±2.07mg/L and VEGF 718.69 ± 283.34μg/L in the subretinal fluid of>3/4 quadrant group, which were significantly higher than those in the <1/2 quadrant group and 1/2-3/4 quadrant group ( P<0.05). VEGF in the subretinal fluid of VEGF in the rhegmatogenous retinal detachment group were positively correlated with phenylalanine (r=0.542, P<0.001), and histidine (r=0.782, P<0.001).?CONCLUSION: The levels of amino acids and VEGF in the subretinal fluid of patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment was higher than those in normals and increased with the severity of retinal detachment.

AIM: To study the effect of Baixiangdan Capsule (Radix paeoniae alba and Rhizoma cyperi) on expression and behavior and sex hormone of rhesus monkey with premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and liver-qi invasion. METHODS: Twenty-four young rhesus monkeys in high rank and in the ovalatory menstrual cycle were isolated and squeezed 7 h a day for 5 d by specifically designed isolating-cage. At the same time Baixiangdan Capsule orally administed was compared with the control group of Jingqianping Granule. The expression and behavior changes of rhesus monkeys were observed and evaluated by The Measure Table of Emotion Evaluation of Female Experiment Macaque. And the levels of prolactin (PRL),estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) in serum were investigated by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: The scores of anxiety factors of the model monkeys were higher than the normal and the serum E2,and P levels decreased and PRL level increased significantly in the control group. As compared with the model group,Baixiangdan Capsule reduced the enhancing anxiety factor scores and also could increase the lower E2 and P levels in serum obviously and decrease PRL level. CONCLUSION: The above findings suggest that Baixiangdan Capsule has good regulative effects and makes it to the normal state on the abnormal expression and behavior and serum sex hormones of rhesus monkey with PMS and liver-qi invasion.
