Investigation of P300 evoked by Stroop Color Word Task in children with emotional neglect / 四川精神卫生

ObjectiveTo investigate the P300 evoked by Stroop Color Word Task in children with emotional neglect, and to explore their implication for inhibition control. MethodsA cluster sampling was conducted for the first grade students of a middle school in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province. The students from 3 classes were assessed by standard Raven reasoning test and Child Neglect Scale (CNS), and a total of 147 eligible students were screened out. Children were divided into the emotional neglect group (n=40) and the control group (n=40) according to the 27% before and after the score of CNS emotional neglect factor. Both groups completed the Stroop Color word task, and EEG data were collected to compare the response time, accuracy, amplitude and latency of P300 between the two groups. ResultsThe CNS total score and the scores of safety neglect, communication neglect, physical neglect and emotional neglect factors in the emotional neglect group were significantly higher than those in control group (t=15.003, 4.301, 11.495, 4.803, 23.957, P<0.01). The average reaction time in the incongruent task of emotional neglect group was significantly longer than that in the control group [(879.02±101.52) ms vs. (756.93±113.91) ms, t=5.061, P<0.01]. Under incongruent task, the average amplitude of P300 in emotional neglect group was lower than that of the control group [(3.97±1.12) μV vs. (8.71±1.24) μV, t=-17.976, P<0.01]. The average latency of P300 of emotional neglect group was longer than that of the control group [(361.81±39.69) ms vs. (301.35±33.67) ms, t=7.346, P<0.01]. ConclusionUnder incongruent task, children with emotional neglect had longer response time, longer latency and lower amplitude of P300， which suggested that children with affective neglect may have inhibition and control disorder.

(6)Through analyzing the adverse reactions and the causes of termination,the literature showed that common adverse reactions in-volved digestive system (72 cases),infection (23 cases),urinary calculus (4 cases),and the metabolic disorder. The reason of treatment termination was that the children were not cooperative (26 cases)and the parents had poor comp-liance (24 cases). Conclusion KD is one of the effective methods for treating RE in children. Reducing or relieving adverse reactions in KD to improve the treatment compliance of children with RE and their families is a subject worthy of further study and attention.

Impact of AG490 on blood-brain barrier permeability and expression of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-αafter brain injury in rats / 中国脑血管病杂志

Objective To investigate the impact of AG490 on the blood-brain barrier (BBB ) permeability and the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6 )and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)after traumatic brain injury (TBI)in rats. Methods A total of 144 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a control group,a trauma group,and an AG490 intervention group (n=48 in each group). The rats in each group were redivided into four subgroups (4 h,1 d,3 d,and 7 d subgroups)according to the time points after cerebral injury (n=12 in each subgroup). A brain trauma models were induced by hydraulic shock method. Evans blue was used to determine the changes of the BBB permeability after cerebral injury in each group. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was to detect the expression levels of TNF-αand IL-6 mRNA in rat brain tissue. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of human phospho tyrosine kinase (P-JAK2). Results (1)The permeability of BBB:The permeability of BBB increased at 4 h,1 d,3 d and 7 d after brain injury in the trauma group (Evans blue permeation:10. 4 ± 1. 2,16. 0 ± 1. 4,22. 3 ± 2. 0,and 8. 4 ± 0. 9μg/g,respectively). Compared with the control group, there were significant differences (all P<0. 01). The Evans blue permeation of the AG490 intervention group were 9. 1 ± 1. 0,12. 8 ± 1. 1,17. 5 ± 1. 4 and 7. 1 ± 0. 8μg/g,respectively at each time point,and they were all significantly lower than those of the trauma group (all P<0. 01). (2)The expression of IL-6 and TNF-α mRNA:The expression levels of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA at 4 h,1 d,3 d and 7 d after traumatic brain injury in the trauma group were 2. 31 ± 0. 35,2. 73 ± 0. 35,3. 32 ± 0. 29,2. 14 ± 0. 24 and 7. 46 ± 1. 18,9. 42 ± 1. 54,13. 76 ± 1. 89,and 6. 28 ± 1. 00,respectively,they were all significantly higher than those of the control group (all P<0. 01). The expression levels of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA of the AG490 intervention group were 1. 14 ± 0. 22,1. 54 ± 0. 23,1. 94 ± 0. 32,1. 26 ± 0. 21 and 5. 57 ± 0. 88, 7. 78 ± 1. 02,11. 51 ± 1. 29,and 5. 05 ± 0. 97,respectively,they were all lower than those of the trauma group,but they still higher than the control group. There were significant differences (all P<0. 01). (3 )The expression of P-JAK2:The expression levels of P-JAK2-positive cells at each time point after traumatic brain injury in the trauma group were significantly higher than the control group (all P<0. 01),they were 17. 4 ± 2. 7,56. 2 ± 6. 7,26. 1 ± 5. 4,and 15. 3 ± 2. 5,respectively;those of the AG490 intervention group were 12. 2 ± 1. 4,41. 5 ± 4. 6,19. 4 ± 4. 1,and 9. 6 ± 2. 0,respectively,they were all lower than those of the trauma group,but still higher than the control group. There were significant differences (all P<0. 01). Conclusion During the acute phase after TBI,AG490 may activate the factor signaling pathways by inhibiting the non-receptor tyrosine kinase/signal transduction and transcription,significantly inhibit the expression of brain tissue inflammatory cytokines IL-6 IL-6 and TNF-α,reduce the BBB damage,and help to reduce secondary brain injury.

Cell-killing and sensitization effect of 6-gingerol on human hepatoma carcinoma cell in chemotherapy in different environment / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To compare the cell-killing and sensitization effect of 6-gingerol on human hepatoma carcinoma (HepG-2) cell in normal mode versus hypoxia-hypoglycemia mode in chemotherapy.Methods The HepG-2 cells was cultured to logarithmic phase and treated with adriamyein doxorubicin hydrochloride (ADM) (5,10,15,20,40,60 mg/L) and 6-gingerol(25,50,100,200 μmol/L)in different concentrations.Then the cell counting kit (CCK-8) assay kit was used to determine the proliferation inhibition of HepG-2 cells.Cell apoptosis was detected by combining flow cytometry and AnnexinV-FITC PI double staining after treated with different drugs.The expressions of bcl-2,bax and birc-5 mRNA in HepG-2 cells was detected by real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay.Results 6-gingerol and ADM had a certain degree of growth inhibition on HepG-2 cells.In two modes,the inhibition ratios of the 6-gingerol and ADM were both increased along with the increase of the concentration,which showed a dose-dependent manner.Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that the apoptosis rate in the control group,6-gingerol group,ADM group and the 6-gingerol+ADM group in the normal mode was (7.98±0.76)％,(9.63 ± 1.00) ％,(12.70 ± 2.13) ％ and (19.92 ± 1.41) ％ respectively.The apoptosis rate in the control group,6-gingerol group,ADM group and the 6-gingerol+ ADM group in the hypoxia-hypoglycemia mode was (13.92 ± 2.02)％,(19.36 ±-1.22)％,(27.87 ± 0.99)％ and (38.63 ± 2.25)％ respectively.It demonstrated that the apoptosis rate was increased in the experimental groups as compared to the control group under the two culture conditions(the normal mode and the hypoxiahypoglycemia mode)(t=7.250,5.259,12.185,8.140,15.000,47.576,respectively,all P＜0.05,0.01 or 0.001).The combination group had the highest number of apoptosis cells,and the number of apoptosis cells was higher in hypoxia-hypoglycemia group than in normal culture group.Real-time PCR analysis showed that,compared with the control group,the expressions of bcl-2 and birc-5 mRNA were decreased and the expression of bax mRNA had no significant changes in experimental group under the normal culture conditions.The expressions of bcl-2 and birc-5 mRNA were significantly decreased and the expression of bax mRNA was increased in experimental group as compared with the control group under the hypoxia-hypoglycemia conditions.Under the hypoxiahypoglycemia environment,the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was significantly increased,the expressions of bax and birc-5 mRNA was significantly reduced,and the ratio of bcl-2 and bax was significantly increased as compared with the normal culture conditions.Conclusions 6 gingerol may decrease the inhibitory effect of survivin protein on tumor cells apoptosis by reduced the expression of birc-5,which generates the cell-killing and sensitizing effect on HepG-2 cell in chemotherapy.This performance is more obvious in the hypoxia-hypoglycemia environment.

Effect of childhood psychological abuse on the personality of undergraduates with depression / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of psychological abuse in childhood on the personality of undergraduates with depression as well as its possible mechanism, and thus provide scientific evidence for the intervention of depression in undergraduates. Methods Particinants were 733 undergraduates from a university in Henan Province. They were surveyed with Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), childhood experience of care and abuse questionnaire (CECA. Q) and Eysenck personality theory (EPQ). Results the correlation between maternal antipathy and introversion-extroversion of personality;psychological abuse in childhood had apparently positive correlation with the depression in undergraduates (r = 0. 257, r = 0. 304, r =0. 243, P＜ 0. 01) and that of childhood maternal neglect to psychoticism (β = 0.206, P＜ 0.01) were positive and significant. The standard regression coefficients of paternal neglect to introversion-extroversion (β= -0. 143, P＜0. 01)were negative and significant . The scores of childhood paternal antipathy and maternal antipathy explained that childhood paternal antipathy had indirect effect via adulthood neuroticism on the depression in undergraduates,furthermore, the indirect effect demonstrated 59.8% of the total effect. Conclusion This study suggests that the personality of undergraduates with depression is affected directly by psychological abuse in childhood, and adulthood personality may mediate the relation between childhood psychological abuse and adulthood depression.
