Objective To investigate the location of receptor interacting protein 3( RIP3) in Necroptosis and its function in this signal passage, and explore the relationship between receptor interacting protein 1 ( RIP1 ) and RIP3 in nuclear translocation. Methods Primary cerebrocortical neurons were cultured for 12 days,then pre-treated with zVAD-fmk(20μ,mol/L) for half an hour to block apoptosis. ①Extracting nuclear and cytoplasmic protein after neurons were exposed to TNF for different time ,then protein levels of RIP3 were analyzed by western blot and immunofluorescence for qualitative observation;②In the following research,the neurons were treated with Nec-1 and shRlPl ,then the protein level of RIP1 and RIP3 with western blot were analyzed, cell viability were determined by measuring LDH levels. Results ①In signaling pathways of necroptosis, the protein level of RIP3 in cytoplasmic decreased gradually with prolonged TNF exposure, to the corresponding it rolled up in nucleus and a-chieved the peak in 12 hours of TNF treatment ( Cytoplasmic 0. 45 ± 0. 03 ,0. 41 ± 0. 02,0. 73 ± 0. 03 ,0. 90 ± 0.01,1.15 ±0.04,1.30 ±0.02,0.99 ±0.03,0.63 ±0. 03;Nucleus 0. 07 ±0.02,0. 26 ±0.02,0. 57 ±0. 02,0. 68 ± 0.02,0. 80 ± 0.01,0.92 ± 0.02,1.28 ± 0.03,0. 87 ± 0.02) (P < 0.01). ②Blocking the relationship between RIP1 and RIP3 with necrostatin-1 and shRIPl , nuclear translocation of RIP3 decreased and caused a great increase in cell viability( 1.00 ±0.05,0.39 ±0.03,0.50 ±0. 03) (P<0. 01). Conclusion RIP3 mainly locates in cy-tolymph of normal cells,it translocates into nucelus as necroptosis takes place. RIP1 function with RIP3 in nuclear translocation. Block nuclear translocation of RIP3 is a potential way to protect cells.

Objective To explore the dynamic change of serum leptin interleukin-6(IL-6),and interleukin-8(IL-8)during cerebral infarction,and to analyze the possible relationship between these factors and the severity of the disease.Method The levels of serum leptin,IL-6 and IL-8 were measured by radioimmunoassay in 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction,who were admitted to the hospital within 24 hours after stroke.Patients' neurologic impairment were evaluated by European Stroke Scale(ESS)at 1,3 and 7 days respectively after hospitalization.At the same time,another 30 normal adults were enrolled set as control group. Results The levels of serum Leptin,IL-8 in patients group after at 1 days,3 and 7 days were higher than those in the controls(P0.05).The ESS of these patients were 76.77?26.42,70.02?29.17,74.65?28.42 respectively,after 1,3 and 7 days.It shown that ESS simply correlated to the level of IL-8(P0.05).Statistic analysis was carried,but by using t test and linear correlation.(SPSS11.5 statistical package).Conclusion Leptin,IL-6 and IL-8 probably play a role in the inflammatory,reaction during acute cerebral infarction.The IL-8 may reflect the severity of the disease.

Objective To investigated the role of the autophagy lysosomal pathway in PD cells and the possible molecular mechanisms. Methods A dopaminergic neuronal injury model was induced by 6-OHDA in PC12 cells . Autophagosomes in PC12 cells were examined by transmission electronmicro-scopy( TEM ). The expression of LC3- Ⅱ , Cathepsin B were assayed by western blot analysis. Results TEM revealed that the autophagosomes were increased in PC12 cells after 6-OHDA treatment and appeared apoptosis. The LC3-Ⅱ (2h:52.57 ±2.27,4h:56.83 ±3.51,6h:73.43 ±5.41,12h:103.90 ±2.57,24h: 100.40 ±3.91 )and Cathepsin B expression ( model group: 113.80 ± 4.46; normal group 35.89 ± 3.40) were increased after 6-OH DA treatments (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).

This study was aimed to identify original plants of Xi-Huang-Cao (XHC) through DNA barcodes. The nu-cleotide sequence information of rbcL, psbA-trnH, matK and ITS2 regions were abstracted using standardized man-ners from 41 samples (including Rabdosia serra, R. lophanthoides and R. lophanthoides var. graciliflora). Sequencing efficiency of each marker was calculated. Species identification capability was tested on the basis of TaxonGap. The results showed that sequence success rates were 100% for rbcL, 90.2% for psbA-trnH, 87.8% for ITS2, and 70.7%for matK. Three markers (rbcL, psbA-trnH and ITS2) were competent for species discrimination (not for subspecies). It was concluded that rbcL can be the preferred barcode for XHC because of its convenience and efficacy.

Objective To study the effect of social isolation( SI) on the exploratory behavior and working memory in mice. Methods The Kunming mice of postnatal 21 days were divided into the control group,SI 2 weeks group,SI 2 weeks gregarious group,SI 4 weeks group and SI 8 weeks group,according to randomized design with ten animals each. All isolated mice were isolated for 2, 4 and 8 weeks respectively, the gregarious group were housed under normal grouped housing enviroment after isolation until adult, the mice with the relative same age were control groups. All animals were measured for exploratory behavior and working memory by performing open field and T?maze after the treatment. Results In the open field,compared to the relative control group,the central area of the total time in the SI 4 weeks group(0.07±0.04) was less than the control (0.10±0.04) obviously. The central area percentage of total time in SI 8 weeks group (0.64±0.12) were more than the control (0.43±0.08). In the T?maze,the alteration times in SI 2 weeks group (first day (5.92±0.79),second day (6.67±1.3),third day (7.42±1.08),fourth day (8.17±1.27)) were less than the control (first day (6.80±1.14); second day (7.60± 0.84);third day (8.30±0.95);forth day (9.20±1.32)). However,the alteration times of gregarious group showed no obvious change. Both the alteration times of SI 4 weeks (8.18±1.99) in the second day and that of SI 8 weeks (8.29±3.04) in the forth day were more than the control (6.60±2.11) and (7.80±2.53) respectively.Conclu?sions Working memory of SI 2 weeks rats decrease,which can be improved by the resocialization.SI 4 weeks and 8 weeks rats show the decreasing exploring ability and increasing anxiety and work memory.
