ABSTRACT
[bjective]The paper summarizes the academic thoughts and clinical experience of Professor HAN Xinmin for treating Hp related anorexia in preschool children.[Methods] By learning from Professor HAN Xinmin, recording the relevant cases and analyzing typical cases, to sum up the knowledge of etiology and pathogenesis, treatment characteristics, as well as list one proved case.[Results] Professor HAN Xinmin holds that this disease is caused by exogenous damp heat, and the pathogenesis is damp heat invading the spleen and stomach. There are two kinds of syndromes: dampness heat trapping spleen and spleen deficiency dampness retention. The treatment emphasizes the clearing away heat and dampness and moving the spleen for good appetite. Huo Pu Xia Ling Decoction and Yun Pi Kai Wei Decoction have achieved a satisfactory clinical curative effect. [Conclusion] Therapies of Professor HAN Xinmin in treating Hp related anorexia in preschool children have significant effect, which has the value of popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the association rules of behavior problems and parenting styles in asthmatic children. Methods The database was established with the data of behavior problems and paren-ting styles of 202 allergic asthma children.Based on the algorithm of Apriori,the relativity between these be-havior problems and parenting styles was mined.314 healthy children of the same age were selected as the control group. Results (1)The differences in behavior problems between asthmatic group and control group were significant,which includes attention(7.63±3.44 vs 4.03±3.01),sociality(4.10±2.14 vs 2.86± 1.67),aggression(11.74±5.10 vs 6.63±4.26)and flinch(3.03±1.58 vs 2.06±1.38)(all P<0.01),while the difference in offence between two groups was not significant(P>0.05).The differences in parenting styles be-tween asthmatic group and control group were significant,including spoiledness(15.26 ± 4.16 vs 10.88 ± 3.29),indulgence(22.47±4.68 vs 16.59±4.12),discrepancy(13.54±3.50 vs 11.92±3.35)and democracy (35.08±5.25 vs 39.76±4.80)(all P<0.01),while the difference in autocracy was not significant between two groups(P>0.05).(2)There were multi-positive associations among these behavior problems of asthmatic children as followed.There were positive associations between the cognitive impairment(such as attention) and social impairment(including flinch,aggression and sociality),(each support>10%,confidence>0.60,lift>1.20,the value of correlation coefficient between(1,+∞)).(3)There were multiple associations between behavior problems and parenting styles of asthmatic children as followed.There were negative associations be-tween democracy and behavior problems(the value of correlation coefficient between[0,1)),and there were positive associations among indulgence、spoiledness,discrepancy and these behavior problems(the value of correlation coefficient between(1,+∞)).Conclusion There are positive associations among these behavior problems of asthmatic children,and there are multi-associations between behavior problems and parenting styles.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the differences in behavior characteristics among SHR, WKY and SD rat models of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and explore an ideal control model of SHR rats.Methods Using open field test to analyze the rat movement distance, speed, wearing numbers and the number of grooming to evaluate the spontaneous movement in SHR, WKY and SD rats.Using the Morris water maze to test the learning and memory ability among the three rat groups.Results The result of open field test showed that the SHR rats had significantly increased (P< 0.01) total amount of exercise, average speed and wearing numbers than WKY and SD rats.Compared with the WKY rats, SD rats had a significantly higher movement distance (P< 0.01), slightly higher movement speed and wearing number (P< 0.05).In the Morris water maze hidden platform period test, the SD rats had a significantly longer latency than the SHR rats (P< 0.05).SD rats showed longer latency distance on the first, third and fourth days of training, as compared with the SHR rats (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01).Compared with the WKY group, SD rats showed a shorter latency distance in each training time (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01).In the probe trial period, the SD rats showed shorter time and distance ratio to the target quadrant than SHR rats (P< 0.05), while significantly longer than the WKY rats (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01).Conclusions There are significant behavioral differences between SHR and WKY rats, showing certain disadvantages in comparison of the two types of rats.To add SD rats as a control group for SHR rats can improve the comparability of behavior characteristics of SHR rats, and to get more objective evaluation of the behavior characteristics of SHR rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of parenting style and behavior on children with allergic asthma.Methods From July to December in 2016,a total of 60 children with allergic asthma,who were from Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Jiangsu Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine,were selected as the asthma group.Another 60 normal children from kindergarten and primary school were selected as the healthy group.Achenbach child behavior checklist (CBCL) and parenting style questionnaire were used to evaluate the behavior and parenting style of the two groups.The Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) of the two groups were also collected.Results (1) The scores of dotage,autocracy,inconsistence of parenting style in asthma group ((14.95±4.95),(22.23±4.69),(13.43±3.80))were higher than those in healthy group((11.68±3.69),(16.47±4.16),(11.07±3.32))and the differences were significant (all P＜0.05).The scores of democracy,indulgence in asthma group ((38.92 ± 5.37),(18.12± 4.54)) were lower than those in healthy group((41.35±3.62),(19.88±3.41)),and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).(2) The scores of attention,socialization,aggression and withdrawal of child behavior in asthma group ((7.35±3.55),(3.85±2.17),(11.57±5.30),(3.40±2.65))were higher than those in healthy group((3.38±2.81),(2.52± 1.52),(6.98±4.77),(2.02± 1.63)),the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.01).There was no significant difference between the two groups in the dimension of discipline(P＞0.05).(3) The FeNO index of asthma group((32.27± 14.27) × 10-9 mol/L) was higher than that of healthy group ((11.10± 1.88) × 10-9 mol/L) and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.01).(4)Logistic regression analysis showed that the attention(B=0.38,OR=1.47,95％ CI =1.27-1.70,P＜0.01),dotage(B=0.19,OR=1.20,95％ CI =1.06-1.37,P＜0.01) and autocracy(B=0.24,OR=1.27,95％ CI =1.14-1.42,P＜0.01)had significant effects on allergic asthma.Conclusion Attention,dotage and autocracy are the risk factors to influence the control level of allergic asthma.This should arouse the attention of clinicians and parents.

ABSTRACT
Objective To introduce an improved extraction method of prefrontal cortical and striatal synaptosomes from SHR rat. Methods Synaptosomes were prepared from SHR rat brain tissue by Percoll density gradient centrifugation.Transmission electron microscopy was used to assess the morphology and structural integrity of the synaptosomes.Results The obtained synaptosomes showed oval structures surrounded by an intact membrane.Presynaptic components contained one or more mitochondria and a large number of synaptic vesicles.The synaptic clefts were clearly visible, and prominent part of the characteristic compact structure was clear, complete and with higher electron-density. The synaptosome presynaptic membrane, synaptic cleft, and postsynaptic membrane were well preserved, and the synaptosomes were densely distributed, showing typical morphological characteristics of synaptosomes.Conclusions The results of our study improved the traditional preparation method and provide a less time-consuming, highly productive protocol for preparation of structurally typical and intact synaptosomes, suitable for further research on neuroscience and neurological diseases.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture based on acupoint selection of myofascial meridians perspective on the regeneration of nerve cells and recovery of motor function in rats with cerebral palsy. Methods 20 healthy 21-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group, acupuncture groups 1 (receiving traditional acupuncture) and 2 (receiving acupuncture based on acupoint selection of myofascial meridians perspective), and sham group. The control group and the acupuncture groups were subjected to ligation of left carotid artery (ischemia) and then put into a hypoxic environment. They were assessed with Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) Scale and inclined plane test 3 d, 7 d and 14 d after the beginning of acupuncture. And 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) was used to label Sphase cells in the left striaturn and motor cortex in each group 14 d after the beginning of acupuncture. Results The BBB scores improved more in the acupuncture group 2 than in the acupuncture group 1 and the control group 7 d, 14 d after the beginning of acupuncture (P<0.01), as well as the score of inclined plane test 3 d, 7 d, 14 d after acupuncture (P<0.05). BrdU was more in the left motor cortex in the acupuncture group 2 than in the acupuncture group 1 (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture based on acupoint selection of myofascial meridians perspective can promote the regeneration of nerve cells and recovery of motor function in rats with cerebral palsy, that is more effective than traditional acupuncture.
