Objective To explore the A2AR activation after traumatic brain injury mechanisms and the role of excessive tau protein phosphorylation.Methods With no specific mice experiment research of specific pathogens, position in the left parietal cortex in mice, by the method of controllable cortical against brain trauma model model, 15 min after injury in mice abdominal injection of A2AR specific inhibitors ZM241385 or use A2AR knockout mice, testing the brain neuron loss and tau protein phosphorylation level;Use specific agonists CGS21680 activate the original generation of nerve cells in the hippocampus and the A2AR human neuroblastoma cells, using immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence test tua protein phosphorylation level of change, to observe axon transport function of mitochondria.Results Immunohistochemical results accumulation of optical density analysis showed that inhibition of A2AR activation can significantly reduce after cerebral trauma Ser404 tua protein loci phosphorylation levels, reduce excessive tua protein phosphorylation with nerve pathological change;A2AR activation after tua phosphorylation of proteins at a Ser404 site level increased significantly, nerve axons per unit length processes in the mitochondria number decreased significantly, resulting in axoplasmic transport dysfunction;To activate the original generation of nerve cells in the hippocampus and after the A2AR human neuroblastoma cells, tua protein phosphorylation Ser404 locus levels increased significantly.Conclusion A2AR activation after cerebral trauma has obvious influence on tua protein phosphorylation levels, may be a function by influencing the axoplasmic transport, eventually forming cognitive dysfunction.

Objective To analyze the expression of serum anti M phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)antibody in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN),and to investigate its value in the diagnosis and evaluation of idiopathic membranous ne-phropathy.Methods One hundred and eighteen patients with biopsy-proved glomerular diseases were involved in this study, including 97 cases with IMN,21 cases with IgA nephropathy (IgAN)and 19 healthy people.ELISA was used to detect ser-um anti-PLA2R antibodies.Correlations of anti-PLA2R antibody level with laboratory parameters,including serum albumin, 24-hour urine protein of IMN patients were evaluated.Results The median of anti PLA2R antibody in IMN group,IgAN group and healthy group was 45.2(3.6~705.9)RU/ml,5.9(2.3~10.6)RU/ml and 1.2(0.6~9.3)RU/ml.The levels of serum anti PLA2R antibody in IMN group were higher than those in IgA nephropathy group and healthy control group.The difference was statistically significant (t=-5.027,-3.077;P=0.05).Among 97 cases with IMN,76 cases showed posi-tive anti-PLA2R antibodies (positive rate 78.35%).There was none patient showed positive anti-PLA2R antibody respec-tively in IgAN and healthy people.Furthermore,anti-PLA2R antibody level was negatively correlated with serum albumin (r=-0.453,P=0.000)and positively correlated with CREA,TC,ESR,24 hour urine protein (r=0.233,0.234,0.363, 0.586;P=0.004,0.217,0.021,0.000)in IMN patients.Conclusion Serum anti PLA2R antibody may be used as a IMN specific marker for the diagnosis of IMN,and it has important reference value for evaluating the severity of IMN.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of toxoplasma gondii (Tox),rubella virus (RV),cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections (TORCH infections) among childbearing-age population in Henan province.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect plasma TORCH IgM and IgG among 3084 childbearing-age men and women from theFirst Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University during July and September,2011.The positive rates of anti-TORCH antibodies were compared among the various age and gender groups by x2 test.Results The total positive rate of anti-TORCH IgM was 5.5% (170/3084),in which the positive rate of anti-RV IgM was the highest (2.9%),followed by anti-HSV IgM (1.0%).Within positive rate of anti-TORCH IgG,anti-HSV IgG was the highest (90.4%),followed by anti-CMV IgG (89.7%),RV IgG (48.1%) and Tox IgG (0.7%).The positive rate of anti-TORCH IgM was the lowest in individuals aged > 30-40 year old.With the age increasing,the positive rates of anti-Tox IgG,anti-CMV IgG and anti-HSV IgG increased,but the positive rate of anti-RV IgG decreased.Women had higher positive rates of anti-CMV IgG and antiHSV IgG than men (x2 =83.470 and 7.026,P < 0.O1).Conclusions Current infection of TORCH exists in childbearing-age population of Henan province,and the positive rate of anti-RV IgG is low.It is recommended to screen for TORCH infection in childbearing-age men and women.
