Autophagy and apoptosis are two kinds of important ways of neuronal death in cerebral ischemia.The interaction of both in ischemic penumbra may alleviate or aggravate cerebral ischemic injury.This article reviews the role of autophagy and apoptosis in cerebral ischemia and their potential regulating mechanisms of interaction.

Objectives To study the correlation between social emotion and temperament in infants and toddlers. Me-thods The Brief Infant-Toddler Social and Emotional Assessment (BITSEA) and Toddler Temperament Questionnaire (TTQ) were used to evaluate the social emotional problems and temperament of 657 infants and toddlers 1 to 3 years old. Results The temperament dimensions were correlated with behavior and competence factors. The infants and toddlers in dififcult type group had more behavior problems or deifcits/delays in competence than those in easy type group (χ2=26.49, 10.48, P<0.01). Conclu-sions Infants and toddlers with negative temperament traits have more behavior problems and weaker social emotional compe-tences. The temperament should be considered in dealing with emotional problems.

BACKGROUND:Overtraining is a series of functional disorder or pathological state induced by continuous fatigue accumulation because exercise load and body function are incommensurate to each other. At present, commonly used methods for establishing rat models of overtraining included treadmil , swimming and climbing rod, but treadmil is comparatively accepted in the world.
OBJECTIVE:To establish the standard of overtraining rat model and to implement objective of model establishment by dynamical y monitoring biochemical indexes and observing behavioral changes.
METHODS:A total of 16 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to model and blank control groups. The model group received movement training according to the plan. After adaptable feeding, training was performed, 6 days every week, with a rest of 1 day. Increasing intensity on treadmil was used. From the first week of training, the speed, gradient and running time were gradual y increased. However, the blank control group was conventional y fed, without any training.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Behavior changes of the training rats were arisen after five weeks. Serum creatine kinase levels increased continuously in training process, and higher than basic levels at 5 weeks (P<0.01). Serum urea nitrogen levels persistently increased, and higher than basic levels at 3 weeks (P<0.05). Hemoglobin and serum testosterone levels increased and then decreased, and significantly lower than basic levels at 8 weeks (P<0.05). Behavioral y, overtraining appeared. Simultaneously, hemoglobin and serum testosterone levels were significantly lower than basic levels. Serum creatine kinase and serum urea nitrogen levels were significantly higher than basic levels. These results indicated that the body was in overtraining state. The standard of overtraining rat model was established in this study. The overtraining rat model was established according to the training program when the training was lasted for 8 weeks, the training speed was 30 m/min;every training time was 110 minutes, and the gradient was 15°.

The occurrence of nanoparticle carriers has greatly changed the traditional remedies of gastric cancer and other malignant tumors which makes the chemotherapeutic drugs possess better distribution, better targeting, less side-effects, and the ability to withstand the drug-resistance of tumor cells. Utilization of nanoparticle carriers in lymph-targeted chemotherapy of gastric cancer can not only achieve a better curative effect,but also direct the operation and improve patients' quality of lives. It has an expansive application foreground.

Specific detection of amatoxins and phallotoxins in body fluids is necessary for an early diagnosis of an intoxication with mushrooms.In this study, a rapid method for the simultaneous determination of α-, (β-and γ-amanitin, phalloidin and phallacidin in human urine and plasma was first developed by ultra-perform ance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.Urine sample was directly injected into the separation system and plasma sample was initially prepared by precipitation of proteins with 1% acetic acid in acetoni trile.The toxin was analyzed on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3 column using a gradient program with a cycle time of 9 min, and detected by positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the MRM mode, and quantified by matrix-match standard solution.The detection limits (S/N = 3) of the toxins were within 0.2-1 μg/L and 0.1-0.5 μg/L for urine and plasma, respectively.The standard curves were linear in the range of 2-100 μg/L for urine and 1-100 μg/L for plasma.The average recoveries were 92.0%-108.0% and 85.0%-100.0% for the toxins spiked in urine and plasma, with RSDs of 1.0%-22.0% and 2.0%-22.0% (n = 6), respectively.The method was simple, selective and sensitive to detect the amatoxins and phallotoxins in urine and plasma for both clinical and forensic purposes.

A rapid method for the detection of tetrodotoxin(TTX) in human plasma and urine was developed by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. After a simple protein precipitation step was undertaken, the subsequent analysis of TTX was achieved on a TSK-gel amide-80 column using an ammonium formate-methanol-acetonitrile gradient with a cycle time of 13 min, and detected by positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in the MRM mode, and quantified by matrix-match standard solution. It was found that linearity in urine was observed within concentration ranged from 3 μg/L to 500 μg/L, that in plasma 1 μg/L to 200 μg/L and that limits of detection(S/N=3) for urine and plasma were 1 and 0.3 μg/L, respectively. The average recoveries were 96%-108% and 100%-105% for TTX spiked in urine and plasma, respectively, with relative standard deviations of 1.7%-8.6% and 8.9%-16%(n=6). This method was simple, selective and sensitive to detect TTX in urine and plasma for both clinical and forensic purposes.

Purpose:Expression of MEK-1 was studied by regulating ?V integrin and E-cadherin on MCF-7 breast cancer cells.Methods:Using cell transfected techniques site-mutated genes were inserted into MCF-7 cells and made MCF-7 cells containing MEK-1-GFP,Ala 222 MEK-1-GFP,Asp 222 MEK-1-GFP ,respectively. These cells were tested with immunoblot analysis and immunofluoresence technique to determined the change of MEK-1 expression and location of MEK-1 in cells.Results:Deactivated Ala 222 MEK-1-GFP inhibited the activity of MAPK,active Asp 222 MEK-1-GFP increased the activity of MAPK. Ala 222 MEK-1-GFP increased the expression of E-cadherin,did not increase the expression of ?V integrin and inhibited FAK phosphorylation. MEK-1-GFP and Asp 222 MEK-1-GFP did not affect the expression of E-cadherin ,but upregulated the expression of ?V integrin,increased FAK phosphorylation.Conclusions:MEK-1 regulated the expression of ?V integrin and E-cadherin,FAK is the key factor that induced signal pathway of ?V integrin. It is possible that MEK-1 regulated FAK phosphorglation by regulating expression of ?V integrin and E-cadherin.

Objective: To establish a rapid approach to the detection and identification of Mycobacteria from lesions of patients with suspected Mycobacterial infections. Methods: Specimens were obtained from five patients suspected to have Mycobacterial infections. DNA extracted from clinical samples was amplified by nested PCR. The PCR products were digested with Hha Ⅰ, MboⅠ, and BstUⅠ restriction enzymes and applied to PAGE. The species of Mycobacteria were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Identification of Mycobacteria culture was also performed in 3 patients. Results: M. marinum was found in two patients diagnosed as swimming pool granuloma. M. tuberculosis was found in one patient diagnosed as infectious skin granuloma. All these 3 Mycobacteria were confirmed by Mycobacteria culture. A strain of M. tuberculosis and a strain of M. fortuitum were detected in remain two patients. Conclusion: The results above indicate that PCR-RFLP analysis is rapid and reliable in detection and identification of different Mycobacteria species from skin tissues. Application of this method will be helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of Mycobacteria skin infections.
