ABSTRACT
Major depressive disorder is a mental illness characterized by depressed mood, lack of engagement in pleasurable activities, anhedonia, and cognitive-behavioral disorders. Currently, traditional pharmacological treatments for depression have a delayed therapeutic onset and low treatment effectiveness. (2R, 6R)-HNK, as a key metabolite of ketamine, can not only exert rapid and lasting antidepressant effects but also has no side effects such as hallucination and addiction caused by ketamine, which has potential clinical application values. Studies have found that the antidepressant effect of (2R, 6R)-HNK is closely related to the regulation mechanism of glutamate receptor and synaptic plasticity. Besides, the changes of downstream signaling pathways include the upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, dephosphorylation of eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2), and activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) play a key role in the antidepressant process of the drug. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning (2R, 6R)-HNK's antidepressant effects will be invaluable for the identification of targets, which will drive the development of novel, effective, next-generation pharmacotherapies for the treatment of depression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To select the best storage temperature and accurate detection way of the blood alcohol content of drunk driving and provide technical support of judging objectively drunk driving behaviors for traffic management department. Methods This study selects EDTA-2 vacuum tubes, take human vein blood after drinking and respectively store at four temperature conditions -20℃、4℃~8 ℃、 25 ℃ normal temperature and high temperature of 35℃~42 ℃.GC method is used by testing 0,3d, 7d, 14d, 21d and 28d blood alcohol content, and the test result statistics and data are compared and analyzed. Results The blood alcohol contents within 0-3d stored at 35℃~42 ℃and 25 ℃temperature remain stable, decrease significantly after 3d (P<0.05); the blood alcohol contents stored at 4℃~8 ℃ temperature in 0~14d is basically stable and decrease significantly after 14d (P<0.05); at -20℃temperature there are no significant differences among the 28d testing results of blood alcohol contents. Conclusions It is suggested that the blood samples should be collected at low temperature and the best preservation temperature of blood samples is -20℃.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of dorsal digital artery reverse island flap in the repair of distal finger skin defect.Methods From January,2011 to January,2015,60 fingers of 60 cases with dorsal branch of the digital artery were used to repair the defect of the distal finger skin.The 30 refers to the index finger,middle finger 15 fingers,10 ring fingers and 5 little fingers.Harvested area of 1.2 cm ×1.7 cm to 3.2 cm × 3.6 cm,the wrist or distal medial arm full thickness skin graft donor site.Evaluation of sensory recovery by the British Medical Research Association.Results All flaps survived.Twelve finger flap tension blisters,and the flaps survived after the stitches.Follow-up of 60 cases of 60 to hand function according to the Chinese medicine will hand surgery society of upper extremity function evaluation standard trial Tam method to evaluate the:50 excellent,10 fingers good,the excellent and good rate was 100％;48 fingers flap sensation recovery to S4 class,and 12 refers to the recovery to S3.The two-point discrimination perception of 5 to 8 mm,average 6.5 mm;patients far,nearly interphalangeal joint average activity recovery was good.Skin flap skin ruddy,soft texture,no fat,no pigmentation,fearless cold performance.No scar hypertrophy and contracture,skin pain no allergy and reoperation.Conclusion The flap for repair of distal finger skin defect is a simple,no damage to the main artery and nerve and good sensory recovery,less postoperative complications,and excellent method of flap survival.It is worth promotion in primary hospitals.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish the induction method and culture system of hairy roots of Panax japonicus, and determine ginsenoside Re contents.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Hairy roots of P. japonicus was obtained through infecting pre-incubated terrestrial stem with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58C1; its enlarging culture was carried out on the 1/2MS medium, and growing characteristics were measured. The transformation of T-DNA was examined by PCR and ginsenoside Re content was determined by HPLC.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>A. tumefaciens strain C58C1 could make terrestrial stem of P. japonicus bring about hairy roots, the max inductivity was 90% when infecting for 25 min. The PCR examination result showed that rolB genes could be inserted into the hair roots of P. japonicus. All hairy roots dould synthesize ginsenoside Re, among them, the max content was PJ8 with 60. 26 mg x g(-1).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It was reported for the first time that the induction method and culture system of hairy roots of P. japonicus were established successfully, which provided a foundation for producing high content ginsenoside Re through culturing the hairy roots of P. japonicus.</p>

Objective To explore prognostic relative factors of different therapy for patients with intracrani-al aneurysm. Methods In 93 intracranial aneurysm patients, 38 cases were managed through craniotomy, in whom the effects of operation time, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture(IAB), temporary arterial occlusion (TAO)on 30-day and 6-month prognosis were investigated; while other 67 cases experienced endovascular treatment,in whom the simi-lar parameters of the different therapy, types of endovascular treatment, and intracranial aneurysm embolization were evaluated. 30 days and 6 months prognosis were regarded as the dependent variable, and SPSS for Windows 11.5 was adopted for data processing. Chi-Square test was performed. Results IAR exerted significant difference to 30 days and 6 months prognosis in patients undergoing craniotomy and clipping, there were 42 intracranial aneurysm, of which 16 aneurysm ruptured (χ2 = 5. 203,10. 886, P < 0.05 ). For patients undergoing endovascular treatment, the new ma-terial application could improve 6 months prognosis, in whom there were totaly 74 intracranial aneurysm, of which 23 aneurysm were managed by the use of old material for endovascular treatment and 51 aneurysm were managed by the use of new material for endovascular treatment(χ2 = 5. 544 and RR = 2. 364,95% CI 1. 197～4.669 ,P < 0.05 ). Un-successful ratio in the endovascular treatment was reduced simultaneously,from 43.5% (old material group) to 18.0% ( now material group) (χ2 = 5. 542,P < 0.05). Conclusions IAR is the important risk factor, which effects 30 days or 6 months prognosis of patients with intracranial aneurysms managed through craniotomy and clipping. The new material application in the endovascular treatment improves 6 months prognosis, meanwhile unsuccessful ratio in the endovascular treatment is reduced simultaneously.
