Objective To explore the relationship between brain development and early behavior development of infant rats. Methods Infant Spraque - Dawley(SD) rats were used respectively for testing their spontaneous behaviors, inhibitory escaping response and behavior development, and also determine their brain weight and content of Zinc in different part of the brain at age of 1 day, 11 days and 21 days. Results There was a positive correlation between brain development and early behavior development of SD rat, and the high content of zinc in hippocampus and cerebellum. Conclusion It is suggested that the high content of Zinc guarantee furnish security for the late behavior development of infant rat.

Globally, pneumonia is the leading cause of childhood mortality. Pneumonia is the second killer of children less than 5 years of age in China. The World Heath Organization and United Nations Children′s Fund launched the integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhea (GAPPD) in 2013. The ambitious goal is to end preventable childhood deaths due to pneumonia by 2025. Countries or regions should achieve the following goals: (1) reduce mortality from pneumonia in children less than 5 years of age to fewer than 3 per 1 000 live births; (2) reduce the incidence of severe pneumonia by 75% in children less than 5 years of age compared to 2010 levels. If the implementation of key interventions is accelerated, the mortality rate of childhood pneumonia will drop substantially every year, which makes the goal achievable.

The following measures have been taken with improved teaching effects in our recent practice of lemological teaching Firstly,we adjusted our teaching scope from classical communicable diseases to infectious diseases and brought the newest progress into our contents.Secondly,we adopted rich and colorful teaching methods to boost the students' learning interest.Thirdly,the students' clinical capabilities have been emphasized in our lemological examination.And lastly,multimedia has been employed to display our contents more actively.

Objective To summarize our experience in choledochofiberscopic treatment for residual stones of biliary tract. Methods 1105 cases of residual stones of biliary tract diagnosed and treated with choledochofiberscope in the past 19 years were reviewed retrospectively. Results The 1067 patients with residual stones of bile duct were treated with choledochofiberscope for 1483 times altogether. The stones were completely removed in 1035 cases, while the stones were not cleared in other 32 cases. The clearance rate of residual stones was 97.0%(1035/1067). No patient died of choledochofiberscopic treatment. Conclusions Choledochofiberscopic treatment plays an important role in the treatment of residual stones of bile duct, because it not only reduces residual stones of bile duct to avoid repeated operation, but also has some advantages such as excellent safety, minimal invasion, low cost and quicker recovery.

Objective To explore the clinical value of u ltrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration and drainage for bacterial liver absces s in children. Methods Under the guidance of ultrasonography, 15 children with bacterial hepatic abscess underwent percutaneous aspiration or drainage. Among them, 9 were given percutaneous aspiration for 1~4 times, and 6 underwent percutaneous drainage. Results Percutaneous aspirati on or drainage was successfully accomplished in all the 15 children, 14 of whom were cured. The hospital stay was 15~42 days (mean, 26.3 days). No bleeding or b ile leakage happened. Follow-up for 4~12 months (mean, 6.8 months) in 11 childre n showed no recurrence. One patient with no improvement left hospital of his own accord. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration and drainage is a feasible option for the treatment of liver abscess in childre n.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Sengstaken-Blakemore tube in assisting cyanoacrylate injection combined with sclerotherapy and variceal ligation under emergency endoscopy in treating escophageal and gastric variceal bleeding. Methods 60 patients were randomly selected, and were evenly divided into 2 groups single blindly. Endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection, sclerotherapy and variceal ligation were performed in control group, and additional Sengstaken-Blakemore tube were used in experimental group. Results All the 30 patients in study group got effective hemostasis (30 of 30, 100.00 %), whereas only 23 patients in control groups stopped bleeding (23 of 30, 76.67 %) (P < 0.05). escophageal and gastric variceal were cured 19 patients in the experimental group (19 of 30, 63.33 %) , and only 4 were cured in the control group (4 of 28, 14.28 %) (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, occurence of fever, chest pain, hospital days and hospitalization costs of experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Treating the escophageal and gastric variceal bleeding, using endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection, sclerotherapy; and variceal ligation under emergency endoscopy combined with Sengstaken-Blakemore tube could significantly increase the therapeutic efficiency as well as reduce complications and therapy cost.

Objective:To study the function and mechanism of miR-30a in rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.Methods:The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established by intravascular suture method, and the expression of miR-30a in brain tissue was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). After intracerebroventricular injection of miR-30a lentivirus, the infarct area was detected by 2, 3, 5-triphenyltetrazole chloride (TTC) staining, the neurological deficit was detected by Bederson method, and the concentration of neurotrophin-3 (3-NT) and nitric oxide (NO) in brain tissue was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The protein levels of kelch like ECH associated protein 1 (Keap1), NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf-2) and hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) in brain tissue were detected by Western blot. Double luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between miR-30a and Keap1.Results:Compared with sham operation group, the expression of miR-30a was down-regulated in a time-dependent manner after I/R. The overexpression of miR-30a can reduce the area of cerebral infarction tissue at the pathological level, the degree of neurological impairment at the functional level, the 3-NT, NO and Keap1 at the molecular level, and enhance the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. The dual luciferase reporter assay also showed that miR-30a could bind to Keap1 mRNA.Conclusions:The expression of miR-30a was down-regulated in MCAO rat brain tissue, and miR-30a could attenuate cerebral I/R injury in rats by targeting Keap1.
