Development of ground medical rescue platform for manned spaceflight landing sites / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To develop a ground medical rescue platform to facilitate comfortable,safe and efficient medical rescue of astronauts at manned spaceflight landing sites.Methods A ground medical rescue platform for manned spaceflight landing site with vehicle-mounted structure was composed of a high-performance CTM-132 chassis,a rescue shelter made of aerospace aluminum plate and a hydraulic tailboard to facilitate astronauts'entry and exit.There were a variety of devices equipped in the rescue shelter for space medical monitoring and support,medical treatment and communication,and refined design was carried out for the electrical and water circuits and lighting.Results The ground medical rescue platform enabled medical monitoring and support of astronauts after returning to landing sites.Conclusion The ground medical rescue platform with the functions of medical monitoring,support and treatment meets the requirements for astronaut medical rescue at landing sites,and can be used as a supplement to the air medical rescue platform.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2023,44(10):23-27]

Comparison of the action of isolichenin and methanol extract of saffron on long-term potentiation in hippocampal dentate gyrus in vivo / 药学学报

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is thought as a generative mechanism underlying learning and memory via storing information in central nervous system. Electro-neurophysiological assay for LTP is generally used in screening the drugs that can facilitate learning and memory. By using in vivo LTP technique, isolichenin was found to facilitate LTP induction by a tetanic stimulation (20 pulses/100 Hz) in dentate gyrus. This tetanic stimulation by itself, however, cannot induce LTP. Previous study showed the reagent being able to facilitate LTP-induction, like methanol extract of saffron (MES), usually can antagonize the inhibiting effect of 30% ethanol on LTP induction (30 pulses/60 Hz). Isolichenin may also fall into such kind of drugs. Interestingly, comparatively study showed that isolichenin failed to antagonize the inhibiting effect of 30% ethanol on LTP induction (30 pulses/60 Hz). This result indicates a different unknown mechanism existing in the effect of isolichenin on LTP or memory formation.
