Objective To explore the relationship between executive dysfunction and brain functional connectivity in deaf children and its mechanisms. Methods Twenty-eight deaf children were recruited from special education schools and twenty-seven children with normal hearing were treated as controls matched with deaf children in age, sex and education. All human subjects were scheduled to complete brain magnetic resonance scanning, based on the voxel-based morphometry (VBM) technique for detecting differences in gray matter volume (GMV) and a set of executive function (EF) tasks for detecting differences in EF behavior performance between deaf and normal hearing children. All human subjects were also performed resting-state fMRI, which were analyzed by independent component analysis (ICA) and the executive control network was selected and compared between the deaf and normal hearing children. Results Compared with the children with normal hearing, deaf children had smaller volume of gray matter in the left angular gyrus (MIN coordinates: -48, -72, 45; 700 voxels), right superior parietal gyrus (MIN coordinates: 20, -62, 57; 594 voxels) and left middle occipital gyrus(MIN coordinates: -32, -87, 42; 782 voxels). Deaf children had weaker functional connectivity (FC) in the left middle frontal gyrus, orbital part/left inferior frontal gyrus (MIN coordinates: -24, 21, 3; 54 voxels) with normal hearing children. In the behavioral test, deaf children had defects in the switching function compared with normal children, which was statistically significant (t(42)=2.39, P=0.02). Conclusion The EF of deaf children has some defects, and its neural mechanism may be related with the reduced functional connectivity and gray matter volume in the brain regions related to executive function. Key words: Deafness; Executive function; Functional connectivity; fMRI

Objective To investigate the protective effect and mechanisms of umbilical cord tissue transplantation on radiation-induced learning and memory impairment in rats. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups with 20 in each group: control group, model group (whole brain X-ray irradiation, dose 20 Gy) and treatment group (whole brain X-ray irradiation, dose 20 Gy + umbilical cord tissue transplantation). The changes of body mass were observed, and the learning and memory of rats were observed by water maze test on the 14th and 28th day after irradiation, the neuron state of hippocampus was observed by HE staining, and the expressions of NF-κB pathway related proteins and IL-6 in hippocampus were detected by Western blot.Descriptive analysis and hypothesis testing were processed by SPSS 17.0. Results (1) On the 28th day, the escaping latency in the water maze experiment of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group and lower than that of the model group (control group: (11.77±3.02) s, model group: (23.75±3.27)s, treatment group: (18.49±2.32)s; t=3.940, -2.943, both P<0.05); the number of crossing platform in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group and higher than that in the model group (control group: (7.20±0.84), model group (3.60±1.14 ), treatment group (5.00±1.00); t=-3.773, 2.064, both P<0.05). (2)HE staining showed that the neurons in the control group were arranged orderly and the cytoplasm was transparent.The neurons in the model group were arranged disorderly and the contraction of the cell body was triangular or irregular.The number of neurons in the treatment group was less than that in the model group. (3) On the 14th day, the relative expression of TLR4 in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group and lower than that in the model group (control group: (0.69±0.03), model group: (1.06±0.11), treatment group: (0.90±0.04); t=7.275, -2.368, both P<0.05). The relative expression of NF-κB p65 in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group and lower than that in the model group (control group: (1.67±0.12), model group: (2.08 ±0.06), treatment group: (1.93±0.08); t=3.236, -2.684, both P<0.05). The relative expression of IL-6 in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group and lower than that in the model group (control group: (0.77±0.08), model group: (1.12±0.07), treatment group: (0.95±0.06); t=3.274, -3.495, both P<0.05). The relative expression of Bcl-2 / Bax in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group and higher than that in the model group (control group: (1.40±0.52), model group: (0.48±0.06), treatment group: (0.72±0.0 3); t=-2.263, 6.350, both P<0.05).

Objective To investigate the influences of SCN3A gene polymorphism(c.905A>G/p.N302S and c. 1441C>T/p.L481L) on the efficacy of valproic acid sodium in the treatment of Zhuangzu epilepsies. Methods Using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)technique and the way of direct sequence, the SCN3A gene c. 905A>G/p.N302S and c. 1441C>T/p.L481L genotypes in peripheral blood were detected in 244 epileptic patients (85 cases in effective group and 139 cases of ineffective group) in the standardized treatment of valproic acid sodium.The blood concentration of valproic acid sodium was detected by LC-MS.Evaluating the correlation between the genotype and alleles of two groups of patients and the efficacy of valproic acid sodium and analyzing the difference of valproic acid sodium's blood concentration between different genotypes.The linkage disequilibrium of c. 905A>G/p.N302S and c. 1441C>T/p.L481L were analyzed by software SHEsis. Results The allele and genotype distribution in c. 905A>G/p.N302S loci between effective group(A, G allele: 50.6%, 49.4%, AA, AG, GG genotype: 27.1%, 47.1%, 25.8%) and ineffective group(A, G allele: 37.4%, 62.6%, AA, AG, GG genotype: 16.6%, 41.7%, 41.7%) had statistically significant difference(χ2=7.501, P=0.006; χ2=7.907, P=0.019). There was no significant difference in allele and genotype distribution of c. 1441C>T/p.L481L loci between effective group(C, T allele: 47.1%, 52.9%, CC, CT, TT genotype: 23.5%, 47.1%, 29.4%) and ineffective group(C, T allele: 38.8%, 61.2%, CC, CT, TT genotype: 18.7%, 40.3%, 41.0%)(χ2=2.920, P=0.088; χ2=3.099, P=0.212). Compared with the AA + AG genotype, the GG genotype at c. 905A>G/p.N302S locus significantly reduced the efficacy of valproic acid sodium (OR=2.051, 95%CI=1.136-3.703). Compared with genotypes AA+ AG, there were no significant differences in blood concentration of genotype GG of c. 905A>G/p.N302S (t=3.256, P=0.137). Compared with genotypes CC+ CT, there were no significant differences in blood concentration of genotype TT of c. 1441C>T/p.L481L(t=4.628, P=0.082). c.905A>G/p.N302S and c. 1441C>T/p.L481L were without linkage disequilibrium. Conclusion These results suggest that the single nucleotide polymorphisms of c. 905A>G/p.N302S in SCN3A genes may play a role in the resistivity of valproic acid sodium in Zhuangzu epilepsies.

Objective To explore the relationship between stress sources and anxiety symptoms of medical graduate students, as well as the mediating role of negative emotion and the moderating role of social support. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 216 medical students of 16 medical colleges in 13 provinces (municipalities directly under the Central Government) by using graduate stressors scale, Hopkins symptom checklist, the positive and negative affect scale and perceived social support scale.Correlation analysis, regression analysis, SPSS-process mediation and adjustment methods were used for data processing. Results (1) The whole average score of stress source was (2.45±0.54), and the scores of anxiety symptoms, negative emotions and social support were (1.68±0.59), (2.26±0.70) and (5.28 ±1.01). (2) There was a positive correlation between stress and anxiety symptoms (r=0.37, P<0.01), and negative emotion (r=0.38, P<0.01) and a negative correlation between stress source and social support (r=-0.20, P<0.01). (3) Negative emotion plays a significant partial mediating role between stressors and anxiety symptoms (indirect effect value=0.24, SE=0.02, 95%CI: 0.20-0.28), accounted for 58.54% of the total effect.(4) Social support moderated the effects of stressors on negative emotion (R2=0.24) and the effects of stressors on anxiety symptoms (R2=0.44).

Objective To investigate the current situation of emotional and behavioral problems and analyze the influencing factors of middle school students. Methods The general information questionnaire, the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (student version), and the illinois bullying scale were used to evaluate 680 students in two middle schools in Hunan province.Statistical analysis was performed using t test, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results (1) The detection rate of total difficulty (12.09±5.67), conduct problem (2.42±1.66), hyperactivity/attention defect (3.65±2.08), emotional (2.82±2.32), peer relationship problem (3.21±1.79) and pre-socialization behavior (7.02±2.39) were 11.2%, 11.2%, 7.7%, 6.9%, 11.0% and 14.5%.(2)The scores of total difficulties, conduct problem, hyperactivity/attention deficit and peer relationship problems of boys were higher than that of girls(t=2.79, 4.03, 2.44, 3.40, all P<0.05), while the score of pre-socialization behavior of boys was lower than that of girls (t=-5.29, P<0.05). (3) The scores of total difficulties, conduct and peer relations, pre-socialization of rural students were significantly different with those of urban students(t=-3.93, -2.55, -7.00, 5.26, all P<0.05). (4) The score of total difficulties, conduct problem, hyperactivity/attention deficit and emotional symptoms of left-behind students were higher than that of un-left-behind students (t=-3.18, -2.50, -2.67, -2.40, 2.19, all P<0.05). (5) Middle school students with different fathers' education levels showed different scores of total difficulties, peer relationship problem and pre-socialized behavior(F=3.84, 7.10, 6.20, all P<0.05), while middle school students with different mothers' education levels showed different scores of total difficulties and peer relationship problem(F=3.97, 7.38, both P<0.05). (6) The scores of total difficulties, emotional symptoms, conduct problems, and hyperactivity/attention deficit of the middle school students were significantly positively correlated with the total score of the bullying total scale, the bullish subscale, the bullying subscale, and the fighting subscale(r=0.165-0.430, P<0.05). (7) Gender, urban and rural areas, left-behind or not, maternal education level, bullying, being bullied, fighting were the influencing factors of middle school students' emotion and behavior problems(β=0.010-0.533, P<0.05). Conclusion Some middle school students in Hunan province have emotional and behavioral problems and more attention should bo paid to mental health education.

Objective To investigate the effects of astaxanthin on neuronal injury in hippocampus of rats after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(ACMP) and the relationship with NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway. Methods Male SD rats screened by water maze were randomly divided into three group(n=50): control group (NC group), CO poisoning group (COP group), CO poisoning+ astaxanthin group (AST group) . ACMP rat model was established by static inhaled exposure method. Meanwhile, rats in AST group were further given astaxanthin twice a day by gavage.At 1 day, 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days after CO poisoning (10 rats in each group were selected), the learning and memory abilities were evaluated by Morris water maze test. The pathological changes of the neurons in hippocampal CA1 region were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining.The expression and activation of NF-κB in hippocampus were detected by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence, and the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 protein in hippocampus were examined by ELISA. Results Morris water maze test showed that there were no significant difference in escape latency and crossing platform times between the three groups (P>0.05). Compared with NC group, the escape latency of COP group was prolonged at 14, 21 and 28 days after CO poisoning (t=-6.04, -6.28, -8.18, all P<0.05), and the number of crossing platform was decreased (t= 5.96, 7.85, 6.51, all P<0.05). Compared with the COP group, the escape latency of the rats in AST group at the 14, 21 and 28 days was shortened (t=4.74, 4.82, 5.98, all P<0.05), and the number of crossing platform was increased (t=-3.72, -4.45, -6.53, all P<0.05). Compared with NC group, the number of NF-κ B positive cells in CA1 area of hippocampus in COP group increased at every time point (t=-8.62, -18.00, -16.67, -11.15, -6.22, all P<0.05); the number of NF-κ B positive cells in CA1 area in AST group decreased at 7 d, 14 d, 21 d and 28 d after CO poisoning, the difference was statistically significant (t= 6.55, 6.96, 4.40, 4.17; all P<0.05). Western blot showed that the changes of NF-κB protein was similar to that of immunofluorescence. After 7 days of CO poisoning, the level of NF-κB protein in hippocampus of COP group was (1.44±0.08), it was higher than that of NC group (t=-20.07, P<0.05), while that of AST group was (0.68±0.10), it was lower than that of COP group (t=10.23, P<0.05). The results of Elisa showed that TNF-α and IL-6 in the hippocampus of COP group were higher than those of NC group at every time point(all P<0.05), while compared with COP group, TNF-α and IL-6 in AST group were lower (all P<0.05). After 7 days of CO poisoning, TNF -α in COP group ((39.04±5.29) pg/ml)was higher than that in NC group ((14.13±2.12) pg/ml) (t=-7.58, P<0.05); TNF -α in AST group ((25.77±3.31) pg/ml) was lower than that in COP group (t=3.69, P<0.05). After 7 days of CO poisoning, the level of IL-6 in COP group ((181.79±9.12) pg/ml)was higher than that in NC group ((73

Objective To investigate the cognitive processing characteristics of Chinese adjective-noun constructions. Methods Self-paced reading paradigm was adopted in the experiment, with sixty right-handed native speakers of Chinese (aged from 17 to 20 years old) as the participants/subjects. The sixty pairs of experimental materials were categorized into four conditions: high frequency plus concrete, high frequency plus abstract, low frequency plus concrete, and low frequency plus abstract construction. Results The construction with high frequency was significantly higher than the one with low frequency in terms of collocation judgement accuracy(high frequency plus concrete: (95.7±0.12)%, low frequency plus concrete: (49.2±0.45)%; high frequency plus abstract: (91.7±0.18)%, low frequency plus abstract: (44.0±0.42)%; Ffrequency=312.33, P 0.05), but the constructions with high frequency were processed more quickly and accurately than those with low frequency (high frequency plus concrete: (968.34±229.60) ms , low frequency plus concrete: (1 610.88 ±778.73)ms; high frequency plus abstract: (1 074.64±453.87)ms , low frequency plus abstract: (1 585.36±873.12)ms; Ffrequency=48.258, P 0.05). The ANOVA on the RT of collocation correctness judgement revealed that the whole constructions with high frequency were responded more quickly than those with low frequency (high frequency plus concrete: (330.76±68.08) ms , low frequency plus concrete: (465.69 ±2 014.09)ms; high frequency plus abstract: (357.90±91.11)ms , low frequency plus abstract: (468.26±244.93)ms; Ffrequency=35.29, P 0.05). Conclusion On the processing of the Chinese adjective-noun constructions out of context, the frequency effect of the entire construction is significant but the concreteness effect of head noun doesn't work in the current experiment.
