常压模拟高住低练对大鼠红细胞形态学特征的影响

本研究探讨了常压模拟高住(海拔3000m)低练对大鼠红细胞形态学特征的影响。结果表明:低住安静组大鼠MCH低于其他三组大鼠,具有显著性差异(P<0.05);低住安静组平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度(MCHC)和常压高住安静组没有明显的差别,但低住低练组的MCHC明显地高于常压高住低练组,具有非常显著性差异(P<0.01)。结论:常压模拟高住低练时,红细胞血红蛋白合成减少,应加强营养物质铁、维生素B12、叶酸的补充。

锌对力竭运动时大鼠肝脑组织自由基代谢的影响

以大鼠力竭性运动为模型，观察锌对力竭运动时肝和脑组织中自由基代谢的影响。结果显示：力竭运动后即刻，肝、脑组织的MDA和SOD显著下降。补充锌能使力竭运动时肝、脑组织的MDA明显降低，阻止SOD下降，并使大鼠运动至力竭的时间稍有延长。提示，力竭运动使大鼠肝、脑组织中的自由基代谢加强。锌在大鼠肝、脑组织中具有很强的抗氧化作用，从而消除运动时产生的过量自由基。     

The metamorphosis of medical discourse and embedded cultural rationality: a content analysis of health reporting for neurasthenia and depressive disorder in China

Neurasthenia (shenjing shuairuo) and depressive disorder are medical issues that have given rise to disputes in China for more than 20 years. Since the 1980s, the once ubiquitous diagnosis of neurasthenia in China was rapidly substituted by depressive disorder in the clinical context. Globally, the metamorphosis from neurasthenia to depressive disorder heralded the triumph of scientific rationality, which identifies neurasthenia as a categorical fallacy. In China, however, neurasthenia retained social and cultural significance; thus, it has become a contestable discourse in relation to depressive disorder. By examining the health reporting of both discourses over a decade, this study explicated how neurasthenia and depressive disorder were represented in a popular health newspaper in China. The content analysis showed that neurasthenia is a more culturally and everyday embedded discourse closely associated with Chinese medicine and laymen’s discourse, while depressive disorder is more associated with Western medicine and the professional discourse. The differentiation of two sets of medical discourse evinces that despite the ostensibly prevailing scientific rationality in media health reporting, cultural rationality is deeply embedded in communicating mental health issues with the lay public. It further suggests the significance of investigating the social and cultural expression of mental illnesses in China.     

Effect of fangchinoline on oxidant status in male albino rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes

BackgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by defects in insulin production and activity. During disease progression, changes in lipid peroxidation cause structural modifications via production of free radicals. Fangchinoline is a well-known alkaloid present in Stephaniae tetrandrine S. Moore, which has demonstrated antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities.ResultsThe present study analyzed the anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects of fangchinoline in male rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Rats were divided into the following groups: normal control, diabetic, diabetic + fangchinoline 100 mg/kg, diabetic + fangchinoline 200 mg/kg and diabetic + glibenclamide 600 µg/kg. The treatment was administered orally for 45 consecutive days. Lipid peroxidation was substantially increased by >50% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. However, fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced lipid peroxidation to near normal levels. Reactive oxygen species levels were substantially increased by >500% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. Fangchinoline supplementation reduced reactive oxygen species to near normal levels. Fangchinoline supplementation significantly improved superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and reduced glutathione levels in diabetic rats. Total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose were increased in diabetic rats, whereas fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced these total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose to near normal levelsConclusionsSupplementation with fangchinoline led to significant attenuation of the levels of lipid peroxidation, ROS, and glycoprotein components such as total hexoses, hexosamines, sialic acid, and fucose, while improving antioxidant marker levels.How to cite: Xia J, Huang W, Zhou F.

情感组织者技术对教师抑郁症的心理治疗

采用情感组织者技术对一名患有重度抑郁症的新上岗青年教师实施临床诊断和治疗.研究者向其大脑中输入一组"情感先行组织者"的程序性知识,使其在非药物干预条件下不仅能在短时间内改变原来的重度抑郁和过敏性焦虑情绪反应,而且迅速塑造了这位新教师的积极生活态度和健康的认知行为系统,根本性地结束了其抑郁症的所有临床症状.此个案初步证明了情绪组织者技术在抑郁症治疗中的有效性.     

被动运动和电刺激对失神经大鼠股骨生物力学性能影响的研究

目的:探讨被动运动和电刺激对失神经大鼠股骨生物力学性能的影响。方法:切断大鼠坐骨神经和股神经,造成失神经支配大鼠废用性骨质疏松模型,并随机将大鼠分为假手术组、对照组(NCG)、被动运动组(PMG)、电刺激组(ESG)和被动运动 电刺激组(PMESG)5组,观察各组大鼠股骨生物力学指标的变化。结果:与假手术组比较,其余各组股骨弹性模量、极限强度、结构刚度、最大载荷、能量吸收均显著性降低(P<0.05),最大应变值显著性升高(P<0.05);与对照组比较,各组弹性模量、极限强度、结构刚度、最大载荷、能量吸收均显著性升高(P<0.05),最大应变值除被动运动组仅见降低趋势外(P>0.05),其余各组均显著性降低(P<0.05)。结论:大鼠失神经支配可引起股骨生物力学性能下降,电刺激和被动运动治疗可减缓失神经大鼠股骨生物力学性能的改变。因此,被动运动和电刺激能有效预防失神经所致的废用性骨质疏松,二者联合作用效果更佳。
