Objective:To study the protective effect of electroacupuncture on stem cell proliferation and differentiation in dentate gyrus (DG) in aged rats with focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. Methods:We duplicated focal cerebral ischemia model with MCAO,with ischemia 3h,I/R1,3,7,14,21d points. The effect of electroacupuncture on the nervous dysfunction score,the water content of cerebral constitution and the stem cell proliferation and differentiation in dentate gyrus were observed,and the non-acupoint group was as control. Results:The nervous dysfunction score (all the time points),the water content of cerebral tissue (I/R1,3,7d),BrdU positive cells (all the time points),BrdU/NeuN positive cells (all the time points),BrdU/GFAP positive cells (I/R7,14,21d),in model group were higher than those of the sham-operated group (P

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)/Caspase-8/Caspase-3 signaling pathway in the development of hyperlipidemia in rats.Methods 60 healthy male SD rats 〔4-week old,weight (110 ± 10) g〕 were randomly divided into control group,high-fat diet group,folic acid group,vitamin B12 group,folic acid and vitamin B12 group.After one week's feeding for adaptability,the groups of foloc acid,vitamine B12 and foloc acid + vitamineB12 were dealt with intraperitoneal injection of folic acid (0.5 mg/d),vitamin B12 (0.05mg/d),and folic acid (0.5 mg/d) plus vitamin B12 (0.05 mg/d),respectively,and fed with high fat diet simultaneously.Control group was dealt with intraperitoneal injection of normal saline (0.5 ml/d)and fed with normal diet.High-fat diet group was only fed with high fat diet.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure the mRNA level of PPARy,Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in aorta abdominalis dissected at 17 weekends.Results Folic acid alone or jointed with vitamin B12 could effectively increase the level of PPARγ,while decrease the mRNA levels of Caspase8 and Caspase-3 as compared with high-fat diet group (P＜0.05),and folic acid plus vitamin B12 was more effective than folic acid alone (P＜0.05).Conclusions Folic acid alone or joined with vitamin B12 can improve the mRNA levels of PPARγ,Caspase-8 and Caspase-3 in vascular wall to protect endothelial injury from hyperlipidemia.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protection of adiponectin (ADP) /adiponectin receptor 1 (ADPR1) related-signal pathway in rats with limb ischemic preconditioning.Methods Thirty SD male rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group,myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) group,limb ischemic preconditioning (LIPC) group,LY294002 (the PI3-specific inhibitor) pretreatment group and LY294002+LIPC group (n=10 each).The mRNA level of myocardial ADP and ADPR1,the protein expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3k)phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively. Results As compared with sham-operation group,the mRNA levels of ADP and ADPR1 in MIRI group were significantly decreased (0.53 ± 0.07 vs.0.74 ± 0.08 and 0.52 ± 0.02 vs.0.72 ± 0.04,P＜0.05).Compared with MIRI group,the mRNA levels of ADP (0.72±0.21) and ADPRI (0.80±0.023) in LIPC group were increased,ADP(0.49±0.07) and ADPR1 (0.52± 0.02) mRNA were decreased in LY294002 group (both P＜0.05),but there were no difference in ADP(0.70±0.16) and ADPR1(0.78±0.05) mRNA between LY294002+LIPC group and MIRI group.The protein levels of Pl3k and p-Akt were lower in MIRI group than in sham-operation group (3.85±0.23 vs.2.83±0.22and 3.77±0.32 vs.2.66±0.29,P＜0.05).In contrast to MIRI group,the yield of PI3k (2.65±0.32)and p-Akt(2.26±0.27) protein (P＜0.05) were increased in LIPC group,but there were unproductive protein of PI3k (3.75 ± 0.65) and p-Akt (4.01 ± 0.71) in LY294002 group with no differences versus the levels of PI3k (3.23 ± 0.48) and p-Akt (3.17 ± 0.54) in LY294002 + LIPC group. Conclusions Limb ischemic preconditioning may protect myocardium by promoting serum adiponectin levels,improving myocardial mRNA expressions of ADP and ADPR1,activating the ADP/PI3k/Akt signaling pathway in reperfusion injury.

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of wild-type p53 on gastric cancer cell lines BGC-7901 and to explore the importance of wild-type p53 in gene therapy for gastric cancer. Methods Adenoviral vector with exogenous wild-type p53 gene was transfected into the gastric cancer cell line BGC-7901 which harbours a mutation in codon 204 of the p53 gene.The transfer efficiency and expression effect of p53 were examined by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The growth of BGC-7901 cells in vitro was determined by cell counting and MTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis was used for observing cell cycle.Results Transfer efficiency reached 100% in BGC-7901 cells when adenovirus infection ability was over 100MOI. 3 days after transfection, the introduction of exogenous wild-type p53 into the tumor cells resulted in decreased expression of the protein of mutant p53 and increased level of mRNA of wild-type p53 gene. The growth of the BGC-7901 cells was significantly slower after transfection with wild-type p53 gene than that before transfection. The percentage of G 1/G 0 phase of the cells with exogenous wild-type p53 gene was much higher than that of the cells without exogenous wild-type p53 gene.It was 56 47% and 79 40% respectively(P

Objective To analyze the changes of schistosomiasis endemic situation in Anhui Province from 2004 to 2014, so as to provide the evidence for formulating“The thirteenth five year”schistosomiasis control plan. Methods The information for schistosomiasis control and the data of the endemic surveillance of schistosomiasis were collected and analyzed for the chang?es of schistosomiasis endemic situation in Anhui Province from 2004 to 2014. Results The Oncomelania hupensis snail areas presented on a rising trend,and reached to the largest area with about 3.1 billon m2 in 2011. However,the snail areas decreased from 2012,and reduced by 10.55%in 2012 compared with the areas in 2011,and reduced to the lowest level in 2014 in recent 10 years. The density of living snails presented a fluctuation situation from 2004 to 2008,and on a decreasing trend from 2008, and the density of living snails was below 1 snail/0.1 m2 after 2011. The infection rate of snails remained stagnant state from 2004 to 2011,and decreased rapidly in 2012,and no schistosome infected snails were found in 2013 and 2014. The schistosome in?fection rate of residents decreased gradually,and the number of acute schistosomiasis was under 50 cases with scattered distribu?tion after 2006,and no acute cases occurred in 2013 and 2014. The infection rate of livestock was above 1%from 2004 to 2011, and reduced to 0.55%in 2012,and it was the first time that the infection rate of livestock was lower than that of residents in the same year in 2014. The progress for achieving the goal of schistosomiasis transmission control accelerated after 2011,and the number of counties that reached the standard of schistosomiasis transmission controlled from 2012 to 2014 was 4,9 and 14 and the number of townships was 33,76 and 32,respectively. Conclusion Schistosomiasis control has achieved remarkable effec?tiveness in Anhui Province,but there still exists hard work to consolidate the achievement and reach schistosomiasis transmis?sion interrupted.
