In recent years, remote ischemic preconditioning is found as a novel way to protect the brain, which may be achieved through nerve pathways, humoral factors or nerve-humoral interaction. The molecular mechanisms for the protection might be related to mitochondria ATP-sensitive potassium channel, mitogen-activated protection kinase, mammalian target of rapamycin, including nitric oxide synthase and cannabinoid receptors. The aim of this review is to explain the mechanism of action of remote ischemic preconditioning on brain protection, as well as the possible direction of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene polymorphisms in adult onset Still's disease(AOSD).Methods Plasma MIF levels were measured by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Genomic DNAs were collected from patients and controls.The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay and short tandem repeat genotyping were used to detect the polymorphisms of MIF gene promoter.The -173 G/C SNP and -794 CATT repeat genotype and allele frequencies between patients and controls were capared using pearson's Chi-square test.The non-parmetric Mann-Whithey U test was conducted to compare MIF expressin between cases and controls.Results Plasma MIF levels were significantly higher in AOSD (119±113) ng/ml than those in controls (55±29) ng/ml (P＜0.01).Individuals with -173 * C allele (OR=1.776; 95％CI 1.101-2.864; P=0.017) or -794 *5-CATT allele (OR=1.81;95％CI 1.27-2.58; P=0.001) were at increased risk for AOSD.Conclusion The MIF gene polymorphisms are associated with AOSD.

Objective To discuss the mechanism of large dose methylprednisolone(MP) on cerebral protection of rats after focal ischemic reperfusion.Methods Using the Wistar rat models of focal cerebral ischemic reperfusion,we observed the effects of large dose MP before and after ischemia on the volume of middle cerebral after infarction and the change of cerebral water content,meanwhile the pathological change of brain tissue was observed.Results Compared with the control group, the volume of middle cerebral after infarction in MD treatment group was remarkably reduced before and after ischemia (P 0 05 ). From the control group but not the MP treatment group, we found cerebral infiltration of macrophages from the histopathology of rat brain tissues.Conclusion Large dose MP might improve ischemic brain injury,the mechanism related to reducing volume of cerebral infarction and inhibited the infiltration of macrophages in the rat brain tissues.

Objective:To study the effect of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) and its combination with chemotherapy(5-FU) in tumor bearing mice.Methods:Hepatic metastases model were established in 615 mice by splenic injection of proventriculus squamous carcinoma cell(MFC).Among them,sixty mice were divided randomly into 6 groups(ten per group): control(NS),GH1,GH2,flurouracil(5-FU),flurouracil plus rhGH(GH1+5-FU) and flurouracil plus rhGH(GH2+5-FU).Body weights were measured every week.On the 28~(th) day,animals in each group were executed.The weight of body and liver was measured,and cell cycle of tumor DNA was determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Other 48 animals were divided randomly into 6 groups(eight per group) and treated with the same methods as above.They were fed till death to observe survival time. Results:Body weights in the GH1+(5-FU) and the GH2+5-FU group were increased than that of control group(P

Objective To study the abnormal expression of P-AKT in follicular thyroid carcinoma and its relationship with angiogenesis. Methods MVD and expressions of P-AKT, VEGF in 40 specimens of FTC tissues were detected by immunohistochemical PV6000 method. Results The expression rate of P-AKT in FTC was higher than that of non-FTC tissues. The result was of statistical significance (P<0.001). There were correlations between the MVD of FTC tissue and the expression of P-AKT and VEGF (P<0.05). The MVD of P-AKT positive FTC tissue was higher than that of negative tissues (P<0.05). The MVD of VEGF positive FTC tissue was also higher than that of negative tissues(P<0.05). There were correlations between the expression of P-AKT and VEGF(P<0.05). Conclusion The hyperexpression of P-AKT played an important role in the secondary deposits and development of human follicular thyroid carcinoma. AKT/VEGF pathway may exist in FTC, and AKT is the key factor in the pathway which regulated the expression of VEGF.

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases seen in clinical practice. Cartilage survives in the hypoxic microenvironment. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key nuclear transcription factor which mediates the hypoxic response of cells. HIF-1α gene is an important regulator for the adaptation of articular cartilage to the hypoxic environment. It is important for formation of articular cartilage, energy metabolism and matrix synthesis. If the HIF-1α gene is knocked out, the cartilage can not maintain their normal morphology and function, which may lead to cartilage degeneration, and result in diseases such as osteoarthritis. Chinese herbal medicines can regulate the expression of HIF-1α gene and supply a therapy method for osteoarthritis. In this paper, the authors review the situation of the correlation between HIF-1α and osteoarthritis cartilage degeneration examined in recent years.
