METHODS: The changes of the mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), the left ventricular pressure (LVP) and the maximal/minimum rate of LVP (±LVdp/dt max) were measured by using physiological record instrument in eight groups of rats. The expression of cholecystokinin-A receptor (CCK-AR) and cholecystokinin-B receptor (CCK-BR) mRNA of myocardium in ES rats was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: (1) Low doses of sCCK-8 (0.4 μg/kg) caused tachycardia (441±27, normal control 391±22 s/min) and slight increase in MAP, LVP and ±LVdp/dtmax (16.96±1.79, 18.21±1.69 and +768.85±31.28/-565.04±27.71 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01), while medium doses (4.0 μg/kg) and high doses of sCCK-8 (40 μg/kg) elicited bradycardia and marked increase in MAP, LVP and ±LVdp/dtmax (17.29±1.63, 19.46±2.57 and +831.46±22.57/-606.08 ±31.32; 17.46±1.08, 19.83±2.91 and +914.52±35.95/ -639.15±30.23 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01). Proglumide (1.0 mg/kg), a nonselective antagonist of CCK-receptor (CCK-R), significantly inhibited the pressor effects of sCCK-8 (15.96±1.38, 17.36±0.66 and +748.18±19.29/-512.12±14.39 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01), whilst reversing the bradycardiac responses. (2) High doses of LPS (8 mg/kg) elicited marked decrease in MAP, LVP and ±LVdp/dtmax. (7.16±0.59, 7.6±0.68 and +298.01±25.52/ -166.96±19.25 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01). Pretreatment with sCCK-8 (40 μg/kg) could reverse the decline of cardiac functions (10.71±0.45, 11.7±1.26 and +446.04±67.18/ -347.90±36.98 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01), while proglumide could cause further decline of cardiac function in ES rats (4.71±0.67, 5.58±1.25 and +226.48±15.84/ -142.83±20.23 kPa, respectively, all P<0.01). (3) CCK-A/BR mRNAs were expressed in myocardium of control rats. Gene expression of CCK-AR and CCK-BR significantly increased in myocardium of ES rats. The increase of CCK-AR mRNA induced by LPS began at 0.5 h, peaked at 2 h, kept a high level at 6 h and declined at 12 h, respectively. Similar to CCK-AR mRNA, the expression of CCK-BR mRNA peaked at 2 h and kept a high level at 6 h, but it did not change at the first 0.5 h and was stable at a high level at 12 h. CONCLUSION: The above results indicate that endogenous and exogenous sCCK-8 may significantly improve cardiac function and intractable hypotension of ES rats, which was likely related to high expression of CCK-A/BR in myocardium induced by LPS.展开更多

Strong emotional and psychological reaction caused by traumatic factors will form psychological shadows, and the improper coping of these events will lead to a post-traumatic stress disorder. In this paper, the author makes an exploration on the roots of psychological trauma and of post-traumatic stress reaction or disorders, which were caused by natural traumatic event, such as floods, snowstorms, earthquakes and other man-made factors such as wars, accidents from a psychological point of view. Finally, some suggestions of intervention are provided for the relevant departments to make relevant rebuilding policies.展开更多

Through the process of unravelling stories of past trauma with a view to recovery/freedom from symptoms, meaningful therapy requires the weaving together of traditional beliefs and practices with trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy approaches. Culturally, the relevant treatment respects traditional beliefs and focuses on their innate resiliency historically within their culture. As a clinician invited intimately through the therapeutic relationship into the lives of First Nations abuse survivors, the healing power of cultural identity was discovered along them. Similarly, the author＇s role as therapist was one of teachers, who guided them through the process of telling their stories to the peace and acceptance utilizing therapeutic techniques from an eclectic spectrum of therapeutic approaches. All the while, it should interweave their stories and native beliefs into the therapy journey. It was a process of co-creating healing through a mutual respect of the shared roles as guide, teacher, story teller and healer. Culturally, the relevant psychotherapy requires the weaving of two world views to create a basket of healing.展开更多

Such activities include typing on a keyboard, maneuvering a computer mouse, playing musical instruments （such as piano and guitar） and many forms of manual labor. The pain is dull and diffuse; It is localized in the forearm or in the hand but quickly can expand to the entire extremity. Non-specific arm pain is the most frequent type of work-related pain after lower-back pain. It thus has important socio-economic significance as a major cause of absence from work. The designation of ＂non-specific＂ originates from the fact that it has no obvious signs of tissue damage, unlike the ＂specific＂ pain accompanying carpal tunnel syndrome, tenosinovitis de Quervain, or lateral epicondylitis. Suggested causes of the pain include microtrauma of soft tissue followed by an inflammatory reaction, ischemia, fatigue, hyper-sensitization of nociceptors, focal dystonia of the hand and/or psychological stress. Treatment consists of application of NSAIDs, physical modalities, stretching and aerobic exercises. Prevention focuses on ergonomic modification during manual labor or work on a computer.展开更多
