Objective:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of subchronic exposure to pyrethrin on the mice nervous system.Methods:Twenty-four male mice were randomly divided into a control group,low-,medium-,and high-dose groups,and were exposed continuously for 28 days.The control group received corn oil.The general condi-tion of the mice was observed,and the body weight and brain organ coefficient were measured.Neurobehavioral tests were conducted after the exposure period.The histopathological changes of the hippocampus in mice were observed by HE and nissl staining.The activities of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT)and the contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),acetylcholine(ACh)and glutamate(Glu)in brain tissue of mice were detected by biochemical kit.The Western blot was employed to measure the expression levels of kelch-like ech-associated protein 1(Keap1),nuclearfactorerythroid2-relatedfactor2(Nrf2),and heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)in brain tissue of mice.Results:Compared with the control group,the body weight of the mice in the high-dose group decreased,the brain organ coefficient increased,and the neurological function test showed that the mice had reduced autonomic activity,delayed nerve reflex,and impaired sensory and motor function.Histopathology showed that the hippocampal neurons in the middle-and high-dose groups presented with pyknosis,vacuolization,and disordered arrangement of the CA3 area.Biochemical analysis indicated that in the brain tissue of mice,the activity of LDH and the content of MDA were increased in the medium-and high-dose groups,while the activity of CAT and the content of GSH were decreased.The content of Glu was increased and the content of ACh was decreased.The activity of SOD was reduced in the low-,medium-,and high-dose groups.Western blot analysis showed that the expression of HO-1 and Nrf2 protein in the brain tissue of mice in the middle-and high-dose groups was down-regulated,while the expression of Keap1 protein in the high-dose group was up-regulated.Conclusion:Pyrethrin may cause damage to the nervous system by affecting the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and neurotransmitter levels.

Objective To investigate the evaluation value of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) combined with S-100B protein in the severity and prognosis in patients with acute subdural hematoma ( ASDH).Methods Eighty cases of ASDH patients and 20 cases of healthy check-up were selected.MRS was used to test NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr, NAA/Cho, and Glx /Cr in thalamus and corpus callosum.The blood S-100B protein was detected in 72 h after injury.The relationships of those MRS detection indices with glasgow coma scale ( GCS) and glasgow prognostic score ( GOS) for 2 months after injury were analyzed .Results MRS detection in-dex and the S100B protein in ASDH were compared between each group relative to normal control group , all difference had statistical significance ( P <0.05).As aggravating the severity of traumatic brain injury , Cho/Cr, Glx/Cr ratio, and S-100B protein concentra-tion were elevated , and NAA/Cho and NAA/Cr were reduced .All differences were statistically significant among poor recovery , good recovery, and normal control groups ( P <0.05).For patients with traumatic brain injury, there were worse prognosis, the higher ra-tios of Cho/Cr and Glx/Cr, higher concentration of S-100B protein, and lower ratios of NAA/Cho and of NAA/Cr.GCS score and GOS scores were negatively correlated with Cho/Cr and Glx/Cr ratios of corpus callosum , and were positively correlated with NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr ratios of corpus callosum .S-100B protein was positively correlated with Cho/Cr and Glx/Cr, and was negatively correlated with NAA/Cho and NAA/Cr.MRS combined S-100B can improve the prognosis of patients with up to the accuracy of 81%.Conclu-sions MRS detection in the early stage after injury of ASDH patients has important value in assessment of the severity of the injury and its prognosis , the accuracy of assessment of prognosis is improved with a combination of MRS detection and blood S -100 B protein meas-urement.

Objective To explore the effect of health education through different postoperative follow-up method, including telephone、Email and QQ, on patients with indwelling D-J stents. Methods 319patients with indwelling D-J stents were divided into the control group(88 cases), the telephone group(89 cases), the Email group (70 cases) and the QQ group (72 cases). M1 patients received rourine health education during hospitalization and before discharge, the latter three groups received follow-up by telephone、Email and QQ after discharge respectively. The rehabilitation effect was observed in the four groups. Results The complication rates of the telephone group, the Email group and the QQ group was significantly less and the mastering of knowledge about prevention and handling of complication was better than the control group during the follow-up. Conclusions Different types of follow-up can be selected by patients according to their actual status. Decreasing complication rate, favorable social benefit and approval of the patients family members will be seen due to involvement of the patients family in health education.
