AIM: To investigate atypical protein kinase C(aPKC), extracellular signal regulated kinnase (ERK) regulating NF-E2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-?-gutamylcysteine synthetase (?-GCS) and the effect on lung of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: The rat COPD model was established by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide twice and exposure to cigarette smoke daily. The ?-GCS activity was measured. The expression of ?-GCS mRNA in lung tissue was examined by in situ hybridization (ISH) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein expressions of p-aPKC?/?, p-ERK, NRF2 and ?-GCS in lung tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry (IH) and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: (1) The ?-GCS activity was higher in COPD group than that in control group. (2) The expression of ?-GCS mRNA in the COPD group was stronger than that in control group. ISH showed that the ?-GCS mRNA was expressed in alveolar epithelium and bronchiolar smooth muscle cell in the COPD group. (3) The protein expressions of p-aPKC, p-ERK, NRF2, ?-GCS were significantly higher than those in control group. IH showed that p-aPKC, p-ERK, NRF2, ?-GCS proteins were expressed in alveolar and bronchiolar epithelium in the COPD group. (4) There was a positive correlation between NRF2 and ?-GCS. ?-GCS mRNA, p-aPKC?/?, p-ERK were also positively correlated with NRF2. CONCLUSION: By upregulating the signal transduction of NRF2-?-GCS, the ERK and aPKC?/? may play an important role in the mechanism of COPD formation.

Objective To investigate the possible pathogenesis of the cognitive function in unilateral frontal bottom laceration by follow-up study in patients after one month of the onset. Methods MMSE, Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) scales were used to evaluate neurocognitie function in 42 patients after one month of onset of unilateral frontal bottom laceration and 45 normal controls. The wave amplitude and the latency of the endogenous composition N2, P3 of P300 were measured at the cognitive potential instrument. Level of AChE was determined by ELISA and active AChE was analyzed by the ration analyses. Stepwise multivariate regression analyzed the correlation of the overall cognitive function and the lever and active of AChE. Results The cognitive test scores in patients were significantly worse than those in normal controls. The ability of recite sentences, fluency of words, reading, understanding language,cognitive transfering decreases in the left frontal bottom laceration patients (Group A, 23 cases), while the ability of attention, action, organization, graphics depicting, abstract epitoming, logical thinking were all seriously impaired in the patients with right frontal bottom laceration (Group B, 19 cases). The latency of the endogenous composition N2, P3 in patients ( Group A: (322. 4 ± 17.0), (410. 1 ± 19.9) ms; Group B:( 308.4 ± 15.6), (385.5 ± 17.4) ms) is more lengthen ( F = 4. 084, P = 0. 018; F = 3.467, P = 0. 038 )than the normal controls ( (268.6 ± 14. 7 ), ( 369. 2 ± 15. 4 ) ms) and the wave amplitude is lower ( F =2. 986 ,P =0. 047 ;F =3. 313 ,P =0. 041 ). The latency of N2 ,P3 in Group A of is more lengthen than Group B, while the wave amplitude is higher. The difference of the active of AChE in patients and control groups had no statistical significance, however, the level of AChE in two groups had statistical significance. The comparison of the active and the total AChE in patients has also not statistical significance. The correlation of the overall cognitive function has the linear regression with the parts of the brain and the level of AChE ( rY1.2 = 0. 584, P = 0. 039; rY2.1 = 0. 726, P = 0. 017 ). The standardized regression coefficients showed the level of AChE has the biggest influence to the overall cognitive function ( |Beta| =0. 3601, rY2.1 =0. 726).Conclusions AChE may be one of the important factors in the cognitive function after frontal bottom laceration. The specific damages of cognitive function in unilateral frontal bottom laceration patients closely relate with the lesion locations in the injured frontal bottom laceration.
