Objective To investigate the effect of propofol post-conditioning on RNA2 (ADAR2)-α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyliso xazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor subunit glutamate 2 (GluR2) pathway in hippocampal neurons of fetal rats subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD).Methods The hippocampal neurons were isolated from the fetal rats obtained from Wistar rats at 16-18 days of gestation and primarily cultured for 7 days.The primarily cultured neurons were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each):control group (group C) ; OGD group (group O) ; propofol post-conditioning group (group P).The cells were subjected to OGD for 1 h followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply in group O.In group P,the cells were subjected to OGD for 1 h followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply and then 1.2 μg/ml propofol was added and the cells were cultured for 2 h and then the culture medium was replaced with plain culture medium.At 24 h of incubation,the cells were collected for assessement of the survival rates of the hippocampal neurons and for determination of the expression of ADAR2 mRNA (by RT-PCR),the total ADAR2 protein (tADAR2) and ADAR2 protein in the nucleus of cells (nADAR2) (by Western bolt).The editing percentage of GluR mRNA at the Q/R site was analyzed by nest RT-PCR and BbV1.Results There was no significant difference in the expression of ADAR2 mRNA and tADAR2 among the three groups.Compared with group C,the survival rates of the hippocampal neurons were significantly decreased,the expression of nADAR2 was down-regulated,the ratio of nADAR2/tADAR2 was decreased,and the editing percentage of GluR mRNA at the Q/R site was decreased in group O.Compared with group O,the survival rates of the hippocampal neurons were significantly increased,the expression of nADAR2 was up-regulated,the ratio of nADAR2/tADAR2 was increased,and the editing percentage of GluR mRNA at the Q/R site was increased in group P.Conclusion Propofol post-conditioning reduces OGD-induced damage to hippocampal neurons of fetal rats through activating ADAR2-AMPA receptor GluR2 pathway.

Objective To study the relationship between social support and subjective well-being(SWB) of labor workers.Methods 1038 labor workers in Shenzhen were evaluated by subjective well-being scale for Chinese citizen (SWBS-CC), social support rating scale ( SSRS ).Results There was no significant difference in SWB between male and female( ( 63.51 ± 11.03 ) vs ( 63.22 ± 12.02 ), t = 0.389, P > 0.05 ).The 30 ~ 49 age group's score was significantly higher than the 16 ~29 age group's( (62.80 ± 11.80) vs (64.54 ± 11.28), t=2.21, P < 0.05 ).The married group's score was significantly higher than the unmarried group's ( (62.50 ± 12.18)vs (64.27 ± 10.80 ), t= 2.44, P < 0.05 ).Social support was significant positively correlative with subjective well-being ( r=0.075 ~0.391, P<0.05), except support availability was not correlative with both subscales.Subjective support, support availability and objective support were significantly positive predictions of SWB, meanwhile subjective support was the biggest( β =0.297).Conclusion Subjective well-being of the labor workers in Shenzhen have significant relationship with age and social support.To increase the emotional support for the labor workers could possibly help to improve their subjective well-being.
