ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effects of cannabidiol(CBD)on the NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome in the brains of rats with multiple cerebral concussions(MCC).Methods:Rats were subjec-ted to the MCC model and divided into Sham,MCC,vehicle(MCC+TW),CBD-L(10 mg/kg),and CBD-H(40 mg/kg)groups.Immunofluorescence double staining was used to observe changes in NLRP3 and microglial cells in the brain,and Western Blot was performed to detect the expression changes of the NLRP3 inflammasome.Results:A sig-nificant increase in lectin-positive microglial cells of the cortex with enlarged cell bodies and elevated immunofluores-cence intensity of NLRP3 in the activated microglial cells was revealed by immunofluorescence double staining following MCC(P<0.05).The immunofluorescence intensity of NLRP3 in the activated microglial cells was downregulated by the administration of CBD,with a more pronounced effect observed in the CBD-H group compared to the CBD-L group(P<0.05).The expression of NLRP3,caspase-1,and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC)in the cortex,hippocampus,and basal ganglia of rats following MCC was significantly increased,as shown by Western Blot analysis(P<0.05),and cortical areas are more elevated.The expression of these proteins in different brain regions was reduced by CBD-10 and CBD-40 intervention(P<0.05).Conclusion:Cannabidiol can reduce the inflammatory response of multiple cerebral concussions rats through NLRP3 inflammasome and protect nerve tissue.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the current status of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) knowledge, attitudes, and practices of college students in Tianjin City and to further investigate the associated factors of high risk sexual behaviors, so as to provide a scientific and theoretical basis for accurate prevention and treatment of AIDS.@*Methods@#A stratified cluster random sample of 64 697 students in 56 colleges and universities in Tianjin City in November to December 2022 was investigated about the current status of AIDS knowledge, attitudes and practices. Information was collected using online survey via Questionnaire Star. Descriptive analysis was used for the current status of AIDS knowledge, attitudes and practices among college students. Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of high risk sexual behavior among college students.@*Results@#The AIDS awareness rate of college students in Tianjin City reached 87.33%. The sexual openness rate was 70.73 %. Among the 3 463 students who had sex during the past year, 42.13% of students reported high risk sexual behavior. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that female, having a romantic partner, having received sex education and prevention and treatment knowledge of AIDS were negatively associated with high risk sexual behavior ( OR =0.66, 0.59, 0.81, 0.59, P <0.05). Being in sophomore year, non heterosexuality (homosexuality, bisexuality, not knowing), prejudice against AIDS, and misunderstanding the testing methods for AIDS showed positive correlations with highrisk sexual behavior ( OR =1.22, 2.49, 2.30, 3.17, 1.43, 1.22 , P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#The awareness rate of AIDS in college students in Tianjin is high, but high risk sexual behaviors are still at a high level. Further targeted knowledge education and behavioral interventions are needed to scientifically prevent the spread of AIDS.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#In order to understand the current situation and influencing factors of teaching quality in a Medical University in Yunnan, thus improving the teaching quality of the teachers.@*Methods@#The self-made evaluation forms for teachers' teaching quality which include 9 first-level indicators were adopted. In December 2016, a survey was conducted on some students from grade 2013 to 2016 about the teachers who gave them lectures from September to December 2016, involving 7 different majors, 23 teachers and 18 courses. SPSS 21.0 was used for data analysis. Enumeration data were described by frequencies and percentages. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used for satisfaction.@*Results@#There were 1 542 valid questionnaires collected in this survey. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that there were 6 factors related to the overall satisfaction of teachers' classroom teaching quality, which were "whether the courses are professional (OR=1.430)", "curriculum difficulty (OR=1.731)", "curriculum progression (OR=1.620)", "learning time after class (OR=1.141)", "interest before class (OR=1.565)", and "interest after class (OR=2.291)", respectively.@*Conclusion@#"courses are professional", "courses are too easy", and "the progression of courses is slow " are favorable factors for high satisfaction degree, while "courses are set up by the departments that the students belong", "learning time used after class is too short", and "interest for study is decreased after class" may be unfavorable factors for high satisfaction degree.

ABSTRACT
Objective To detect the long term effect of pure and multiple concussions on spatial cognitive of rats.Methods One hundred and eighty 7-week-old Spragne-Dawley male rats with weight of 280 ± 30g were chosen and randomly divided into a control group and a concussion group.The cerebral concussion was induced in the rats using a metallic pendulum striker concussive device.After the first strike,the brain injury group was randomly divided into a pure cerebral concussion(PCC)group and a multiple cerebral concussion(MCC) group.After the second strike,the MCC group was randomly divided into two-fold cerebral concussion(2MCC) group and three-fold cerebral concussion(3MCC) group.The striking interval was 24h.One,3 and 6 months after trauma,their cognitive function was tested using Morris water maze.Results One month later after injury,there was no significant difference in the escape latency between the control group and PCC group.Significant differences in the measurement were observed between the control/PCC group and 2MCC group on the 7th day after the injury,also between the control/PCC and 3MCC groups on the 6th and 7th day.And there were significant differences between the 2MCC and 3MCC groups on the 6th and 7th days.The non-platform test did not observe any significant differences among the four groups.Three months after injury,there was still no significant difference between the control group and PCC group,PCC and 2MCC groups,as well as 2MCC and 3MCC groups in the escape latency.However,there was significant difference between the control group and 2MCC group on the 5th,6th and 7th days,between the control group and 3MCC group on the 4th,5th,6th and 7th days,as well as between PCC group and 3MCC group on the 6th and 7th days.In the non-platform test,there was no significant difference between the control group and PCC group,between PCC group and 2MCC group,as well as between 2MCC group and 3MCC group.However,2MCC and 3MCC groups spent significantly less time in the former platform quadrant,when compared with the control group and 3MCC group spent significantly less time than PCC group.Six months after injury,significant differences in the escape latency were observed between the control group and PCC group on the 6th and 7th days,and 2MCC group on the 5th,6th and 7th days,also and 3MCC groups on the 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th and 7th days,still between PCC group and 2MCC group on the 6th and 7th days,as well as between PCC group and 3MCC group on the 4th,5th,6th and 7th days.Moreover,there was significant difference between 2MCC and 3MCC groups only on the 7th day.In the non-platform test,PCC group,2MCC group and 3MCC group spent significantly less time in the former platform quadrant compared with the control group.Moreover,in this test significant differences were found between PCC group and 2MCC/3MCC group,but not between 2MCC group and 3MCC group.Conclusion With the increase of cerebral concussion times,earlier and more serious damage of spatial cognition will appear,with a significant cumulative effect in rats.Such rat model can be used to study the pathological changes of cognitive impairment in chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
