Objective To investigate the expression and cellular localization of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) in cerebral cortex after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rats.Methods Fifty-two male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into either a sham operation group (n =12) or a SAH group (n =40).The latter was randomly redivided into 6,12,24 h,and day 2 and 3 subgroups (n =8 in each group).A rat SAH model was induced by injecting fresh blood into the prechiasmatic cistern.Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of Cdk5 in rat brain cortex.Double labeling immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the cellular localization of Cdk5 protein in cerebral cortex.Neuronal nuclear antigen labeled neurons,and glial fibrillary acidic protein labeled astrocytes.Results Western blot showed that the expression of Cdk5 protein was up-regulated at 12 hours after SAH (t =3.709,P =0.001),and it reached the peak on day 1 (t =3.475,P=0.002).Immunohistochemistry showed that the proportion of Cdk5 positive cell was also increased gradually after SAH,and the changes of time course were consistent with the results of Western blot,and it reached the peak on day 1 (t =4.320,P =0.000).Double labeling immunofluorescence showed that Cdk5 was mainly expressed in the neuronal cytoplasm in the sham operation group,and Cdk5 shifted to the neuronal nuclei in the SAH group.Cdk5 was mainly colocalized between astrocytes and neurons.Conclusions SAH up-regulates the expression of Cdk5 protein in cerebral cortex.Cdk5 may be involved in early brain injury after SAH.

Objective To establish a mini pig model suitable for interventional studies in vivo. Methods The endothelia of unilateral renal arteries in 8 purebred Chinese experimental mini pigs(CEMP)was denuded by inflated balloons after the animals were fed with high cholesterol diet for 13 weeks.The CEMP were fed with h high cholesterol diet continuously till the 40th week.The levels of blood lipid panel and creatinine were tested at week 1,14 and 40.Bilateral renal arteries were examined with intravascular uhrasonography at week 14 and 40.The vessel samples were collected at week 40 and stained with haematoxylin-eosin,Masson trichrome technique, oil O and anti-macrophage immunohistological technique. Results Significant differences of blood lipid panel and creatinine were found between week 1 and week 40.Focal ischemic renal injury could be observed pathologically.Renal arteries of CEMP were suitable for interventional procedure such as angiography and intravascular ultrasonography.Cross-sectional information of vessels could be provided clearly by intravascular ultrasonography and the intimamedian thickness of injured renal arteries was much thicker than that of non-injured ones[(0.89±0.03)mm vs (0.30±0.02)mm,P＜0.05]as evidenced by this diagnostic technique.Pathological findings demonstrated the atheroselerotic profiles of the injured renal arteries.Fibrous and fibro-fatty plaques were the main pathologic types in this CEMP model. Conclusions An animal model with renal arterial atherosclerosis mimicking the progression of atheroselerotic renovaseular disease,which is suitable for interventional procedure is established successfully.Intravascular ultasonography may have potential clinical prospect on the evaluation of atherosclerotic renovaseular disease.

Objective: To apply DNA barcoding to identifying the rodents in Zhejiang Province. Methods : Rodents were captured from Jiashan,Longyou,Yunhe and Ninghai counties in Zhejiang Province. The DNA was extracted from ears of rodent samples,and was amplified and sequenced with mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I（COI）genes. The obtained sequences were compared with the related sequences in GenBank,and neighbour-joining evolutionary tree was constructed. Then the results by DNA barcoding and by morphological identification were compared. Results : A total of 22 COI gene samples were amplified. The evolutionary tree constructed by 18 samples was consistent with the morphological identification results and 4 samples were different：Suncus murinus should be Crocidura lasiura,infant rats of Rattus losea and Rattus tanezumi was re-identified as Rattus rattus,infant rats of Microtus fortis（sample number：NH-1）needs further identification. Conclusion DNA barcoding can effectively correct the errors of morphological identification,thus combining the two methods could improve the accuracy of rodent identification.

Objective To assess the efficacy and side effects of intravesical instillation of BCG after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT) in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients.Methods The clinical data of patients treated with BCG 120 mg per course induced perfusion or more after TURBT from December 2013 to October 2016 in 18 hospitals of northeast China region,were analyzed retrospectively.The first part,data of 106 patients with moderate,high-risk NMIBC were collected.A total of 83 patients were male,while the other 23 patients were female.The average age was 66.7 years old.The clinical staging were T1 in 86(81.1％) cases,Ta in 20(18.9％) cases and carcinoma in situ in 6 (5.7％) patients.Intravesical instillation of BCG was executed after transurethral resection of the bladder tumor.The incidence rate of recurrence and progression during more than 6 months' follow-up time were observed.Multivariate analyses were done by using logistic analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression model with Kaplan-Meier method.The second part,treatment compliance of 276 patients with bladder cancer,including moderate/high-risk NMIBC in 263 cases,moderate/high-risk NMIBC followed with renal pelvis/ureteral carcinoma in 8 cases were and moderate/high-risk NMIBC with renal pelvis/ureteral carcinoma in 5 cases who treated with BCG after the surgeries,were observed.Patients consisted of 211 males and 65 females with average age of 68.3 years.Results With a median follow-up of 12 months,9 (8.5％) patients experienced tumor recurrence and 2 (1.9％) patients were found progression in the first part.The one-year cancer free recurrence rate of the patients was 91.5％.Statistically significant prognostic factors for recurrence identified by multivariable analyses were prior recurrence of the tumors (OR =3.214,95％CI0.804-12.845,P =0.099).In the second port,an incidence rate of adverse effects was 64.1％ (177/276).The Ⅲ/Ⅳ degree complications were occurred in 11 patients and satisfactory outcomes achieved with active treatment.A total of 36 patients withdrawal with the major causes were recurrence and progression of bladder tumor in 12 cases (4.4 ％),9 cases (3.3 ％) with economic reasons and 11 cases (4.0％) with serious complications.Conclusions NMIBC patients treated with intravesical BCG therapy have approving cancer free recurrence rates and acceptable adverse effects.Prior recurrence may be prognostic factor of recurrence after intravesical BCG therapy.
