Objective To explore the effect of continuous hyperglycemia on learning and memory capacity in rats, and to observe the changes of expressions of ubiquitin and apotosis-related proteins, so as to provide a relative basis for diabetic encephalopathy. Methods The male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group and diabetes mellitus (DM) group. The DM rats was made by intraperitoneal injection of streptozocin (STZ). The capacities of learning and memory were tested by Y-maze. The structure changes in frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus were observed by Nissl's staining and immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis cell count was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expressions of Bcl-2 and P53 were assessed by Western-blot analysis. The expression of ubiquitin mRNA was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results In DM rats, the learning and memory capacities were worse than in control rats (P＜0. 05), and the apoptosis cell counts in frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus were higher than in control rats, the expression of Bcl-2 gene was reduced while the expressions of ubiquitin and P53 gene were increased (P＜0. 05). Conclusions In the frontal lobe cortex and hippocampus, the expression of Bcl-2 gene is reduced while the apoptosis cell numbers and ubiquitin P53 gene expression are increased, which may contribute to neurodegeneration in DM rats.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and the mechanisms of anisodamine on experimental liver damage. Methods The experimental liver injury model was established by ANIT and CCl 4.Studies were made after ANIT or CCl 4 administration,and the control group compared with the experimental groups which were treated by anisodamine on the pathologic morphology, biochemical indices and the contents of Ca 2+ ,MDA and the ability of total antioxidation in the liver.Effects of anisodamine on sleeping time of the mice toxicated by given sodium phenobarbital were also determined.Results The elevation of ALT, ALP, BiL, CHE and the decrease of serum protein in ANIT or CCl 4 liver damage were significantly improved by treatment with anisodamine .It also remarkably diminished the hepato-cellular and chole-epthelial-cellular degeneration and necrosis induced by ANIT or CCl 4.The contents of Ca 2+ ,MDA and the ability of total antioxidation in the liver were all decreased by treatment with anisodamine. The sleeping time induced by sodium phenobarbital in the toxicated mice was reduced by anisodamine. Conclusion Anisodamine have significant protective effects on liver injury of intrahepatic cholestasis and chemical hepatitis and the mechanism may be associated with blocking M-receptor and enhancing antioxidation and antitoxic activity in liver.

Objective To explore the value of automatic photography in the observation of results of Schistosoma japoni?cum miracidium hatching experiments. Methods Some fresh S. japonicum eggs were added into cow feces,and the samples of feces were divided into a low infested experimental group and a high infested group(40 samples each group). In addition,there was a negative control group with 40 samples of cow feces without S. japonicum eggs. The conventional nylon bag S. japonicum miracidium hatching experiments were performed. The process was observed with the method of flashlight and magnifying glass combined with automatic video(automatic photography method),and,at the same time,with the naked eye observation meth?od. The results were compared. Results In the low infested group,the miracidium positive detection rates were 57.5% and 85.0%by the naked eye observation method and automatic photography method,respectively(χ2=11.723,P<0.05). In the high infested group,the positive detection rates were 97.5%and 100%by the naked eye observation method and automatic pho?tography method,respectively(χ2= 1.253,P > 0.05). In the two infested groups,the average positive detection rates were 77.5% and 92.5% by the naked eye observation method and automatic photography method,respectively(χ2 = 6.894,P <0.05). Conclusion The automatic photography can effectively improve the positive detection rate in the S. japonicum miracidi?um hatching experiments.

Aim To investigate the effects of anisodamine on the pressure of portal vein of experimental liver fibrosis and its mechanisms of action. Methods The experimental liver fibrosis model was produced by CCl_4. The preventive group was treated ten weeks with anisodamine 7.0 mg?kg~(-1) ip once everyday. All therapeutic groups were treated six weeks with anisodamine 7.0 mg?kg~(-1) or 14.0mg?kg~(-1) ip once everyday. After CCl_4 injection for ten weeks, the pressure of portal vein,the content of NO in livers, and liver iNOS and eNOS mRNA expressions were detected with different methods.Results The pressure of portal vein was significantly reduced in anisodamine preventive group and anisodamine therapeutic groups. The liver content of NO and the expression of iNOS and eNOS were all inhibited by the treatment of anisodamine.Conclusion Anisodamine reduced the expressions of iNOS and eNOS to synthesis of NO in liver. As a result, the pressure of portal vein of fibrosis rats decreased. So Portal hypertension of liver fibrosis may be improved by anisodamine in patients.
