RESUMO
Objective To investigate the effects of dorsal hippocampal lesions (DH) or fimbria-fornix transection (FF) on the learning and memory of conditioned fear and the heart rate and blood pressure in rats.Methods Nineteen male adult Wistar rats were used in this experiment.They were implanted telemetry sensors in their abdominal aortas.Two week later,six of the rats were subjected to permanent NMDA-induced neurotoxic lesions to the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and seven for the fimbria-fornix transection (FF)through stereotactic brain surgery,the left six were treated with saline as the control (Sham).All rats were subjected to a conditioned fear experiment.Meanwhile,changes in heart rate and blood pressure were measured.Results There was no significant difference in heart rate and blood pressure among the rats with the hippocampal operation or fimbria-fornix transection.In the acquisition of conditioned fear,there were significant difference in freezing time among the three group in both inter-trial-interval (ITI) and conditioned stimulus (CS) process (all P＜0.05).The freezing time of the FF group showed significantly lower than that of the Sham group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in heart rate and blood pressure among the three group(P＞0.05).In the test of conditioned contextual fear memory,the freezing time percentage in the FF group ((0.31±0.16) ％) significantly lower than that in the Sham group ((2.78± 1.23) ％) (P＜0.05)at the first 3 min of the test.There was a significant difference in heart rate among the three group.The heart rate of FF group ((436.42± 10.16) times/min) was significantly lower than that of the Sham group ((472.48±4.43) times/min,P＜0.01) and the DH group ((469.94 ±7.36)times/min,P＜0.01).In the test of conditioned tone fear memory.The freezing time percentage in FF group ((18.78±6.29) ％) was significantly lower than that in the Sham ((51.77±9.33)％,P＜0.01) and DH group ((59.19±8.13)％,P＜0.01),but the freezing time percentage between the later two groups had no difference (P=0.52).The synchronous telemetry measurement showed there was no significant difference both in the heart rate and the blood pressure among the groups (all P＞0.05) during the conditioned tone test.Conclusion The dorsal hippocampal lesions and fimbria-fornix transection in rats can significantly reduce the learning and memory ability in conditioned fear and scene fear in rats,and the effect of fimbria-fornix transection is more obvious.The decrease in,fear memory is not synchronously reflected in heart rate and blood pressure in rats.
RESUMO
Objective To examine the antidepressant effects of resveratrol (RSV),and its possible mechanism specialized on improving cognitive function.Methods Thirty-two C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups:Control,Model,Model+RSV and Model+NA+RSV groups.The mice were subjected corticosterone (20 mg/(kg · d)) intraperitoneal injection for 21 consecutive days except the control mice.From the 22nd to 42nd day,the mice in different groups received further treatment with vehicle/ RSV (400 mg/(kg · d),op)/NA (100 mg/(kg · d),ip)+RSV (400 mg/(kg · d),op).The sugar preference test,novel object recognition test,novel location recognition test and water maze test were applied to evaluate the cognitive effects of RSV on mice.Subsequently,the silence information regulation factor 1 (SIRT1),peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α),parvalbumin (PV) transcription and translation level were evaluated by RT-PCR and Western blotting.Results The sugar preference test showed that the depression model mediated by CORT injection was successfully established(F（1,30） =6,P=0.038).In in the novel object learning test,resveratrol significantly increased the proration on the frequency ((-0.20±0.37) vs (0.16±0.29))and duration((0.10±0.45) vs (0.62±0.29)) and decreased the proration on the distance((0.09±0.36) vs (0.55±0.27)).In the water maze test,resveratrol reduced the time((41±9)s;(26± 8) s) and distance ((295± 70) cm;(224±43) cm) to find the platform.All the results were accompanied with the increased expression of protein SIRT1 (F(3,29) =15.60,P＜0.01),PGC-1α(F(3,29)=7.51,P=0.0006) and PV (F(3,29) =17.87,P=0.0004).While pretreatment with nicotinamide,resveratrol could not rescue the cognitive impairment and could not reverse the iecreased expression level of protein SIRT1,PGC-1 α and PV.Conelusion Resveratrol can reverse the cognitive dysfunction of depressant mice,which may be achieved by activating the SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway and increasing the transcription and protein expression of PV.

RESUMO
Objective To analyze the risk factors,clinical characteristics,and missed factors of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) after surgery,so as to advise clinicians to improve understanding of the early postoperative APE and enhance prevention concepts.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the general information of 43 cases of surgical patients with APE after surgery categories,risk factors,clinical manifestations and prognosis.Results APE after surgery had obvious risk factors; often occurred within 2 weeks after surgery; commonly seen in malignant tumors (53.5％,23/43),orthopedics (27.9％,12/43) and other major surgery; clinical manifestations wasn't typical,of which chest distress and dyspnea was the most common symptom (93.0％,40/43),and other pestoperative symptoms were similar,easy to misdiagnosis.Conclusions Surgery is one of the important risk factors of APE.Preoperatively evaluating underlying diseases,postoperative strengthening preventional methods,early detection,early treatment,have great significance in reducing the occurrence of postoperative APE and improve the prognosis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of Jianwei Yuyang Granules on the expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in the gastric mucosa of gastric ulcer patients. METHODS: Sixty gastric ulcer patients (final diagnosis by gastroscope) were randomly divided into Jianwei Yuyang Granules treated group (JWYY group, n=30) and western medicine treated group (control group, n=30). Ten patients without gastric mucosa lesion were treated as normal control group. The expression of EGFR in the mucosa was tested by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. RESULTS: Expression of EGFR and EGFR mRNA was not observed in patients without gastric mucosa lesion, and slight expression was observed in the edge of ulcer region of the gastric ulcer patients. The expression of EGFR and EGFR mRNA was increased in JWYY group and control group. CONCLUSION: Jianwei Yuyang Granules enhances the expression of EGFR in the mucosa of gastric ulcer patients to prevent peptic ulcer recurrence.
