Objective:To observe the distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD) in different brain regions in aged rats and determine the role of VEGF and MVD in the aging process of the nervous system. Methods:We observed the expression of VEGF and MVD in different parts of rat brain in the 3- month group and 30-month group with immunohistochemical technique. Results:Compared with the 3-month group, the 30-month group showed fewer VEGF-positive cells and MVD in the brain (P<0.01), and the number varied signiifcantly in different brain regions(P<0.01). The motor cortex region contained more VEGF-positive cells and MVD than the hippocampus and cerebellum. Conclusion:VEGF-positive cells and MVD are decreased in every brain region of aged rats, and the motor cortex region contains more positive cells, suggesting exogenous VEGF may enhance the formation of microvessels and delay the aging of the nervous system.

Objective To determine whether acute withdrawal of simvastatin treatment in healthy normocholesterolemic men impairs the brachial artery endothelial function.Methods The study was performed on 16 healthy,young male subjects with desirable serum levels of cholesterol.They were administered with simvastatin(20 mg/d)for 4 weeks.Endothelial dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD)was assessed on the brachial artery using high-resolution ultrasound,and fasting serum lipid profiles as well as vasoactive substances[NO,endothelin(ET)and 6-keto-PGF1α] were measured.The parameters mentioned above were obtained at indicated time points before and after simvastatin treatment. Resuts Simvastatin treatment for 4 weeks significantly improved FMD and reduced low density LDL-C and total TC levels.Withdrawal of simvastatin.however,resulted in dramatic impairment of endothelium- dependent relaxation on the first day after with drawal [(4.6±0.48)%and(10.9±0.89)%,P<0.01 ], Furthermore,FMD decreased significantly as compared with baseline level[(4.6±0.48)%vs(6.4±0.47)%,P<<0.01].Serum NO level varied according to the change of endothelial-dependent relaxation(γ=0.496,P<0.01).After discontinuing simvastatin therapy,plasma ET increased and plasma 6-keto-PGF1α decreased progressively.In addition,serum TC and LDL-C were not significantly modified during the initial 2 days.No correlation was shown between FMD and serum LDL-C level(γ=-0.172,P=0.101). Conclusions Withdrawal of simvastatin not only abrogates the beneficial effect on endothelial function of healthy normocholesterolemic men rapidly,but also induces further endothelial deterioration as compared with pretreatment status.This adverse effect is independent of serum cholesterol.The underlying mechanism may be related to the suppression of endothelial NO production.

Selectable marker genes that usually encode antibiotic or herbicide resistances are widely used for the selection of the transgenic plants, but they become unnecessary and undesirable after transformation selection. An important strategy to improve the transgenic plants' biosafety is to eliminate the marker genes after successful selection. In the FLP/frt site-specific system of the 2 microm plasmid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the FLP enzyme efficiently catalyzes recombination between two directly repeated FLP recombination target (frt) sites, eliminating the sequence between them. By controlled expression of the FLP recombinase and specific allocation of the frt sites within transgenic constructs, the system can be applied to eliminate the marker genes after selection. Through a series of procedures, the plant FLP/frt site-specific recombination system was constructed, which included the frt containing vector pCAMBIA1300-betA-frt-als-frt and the FLP expression vector pCAMBIA1300-hsp-FLP-hpt. The FLP recombinase gene was introduced into transgenic (betA-frt-als-frt) tobacco plants by re-transformation. In re-transgenic plants, after heat shock treatment, the marker gene als flanked by two identical orientation frt sites could be excised by the inducible expression of FLP recombinase under the control of hsp promoter. Excision of the als gene was found in 41% re-transgenic tobacco plants, which indicated that this systerm could make a great contribution to obtain the marker free transgenic plants.
