Objective:To explore the dynamic process of the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in hippocampus cells after convulsion through in vitro and in vivo experiments. Methods:Seizures with duration of 30 minutes(30min SC) were induced in infant and adult Wistar rats(IRs&ARs) respectively. The rats were sacrificed at 6 different time points after SC termination.Dynamic change of BDNF level in happocampal cells was investigated by immunocytochemistry and ELISA. Primary hippocampal neurons cultured for 9 days were exposed to magnesium-free extracellular solution media for 3h to establish seizure-like discharge model. BDNF protein expressed in cultured hippocampal neurons was detected by immunocytochemistry. Results:(1)The cells expression of BDNF increased in CA1-CA4 and dentate of hippocampus after SC,and the most positive immunoreactivity was in dentate. The expression of BDNF was remarkably up-regulated at 3h(from 6.65?1.60 pg/?g to 11.22?2.44pg/?g) after SC in IRs group (P

Objective:To explore the method of culturing rat hippocampal slice in vitro and to observe the changes of neurons' morphology and reactivity in cultured slice.Methods:Organotypic hippocampal slices were prepared by taking brains from 6-9 day old wistar rats.After the hippocampi was isolated and chopped into 400?m thickness,slices were transferred to Millipore inserts and placed in six-well trays in CO_2 incubators at 37℃.Then the cultured hippocampal slices were observed for the changes of morphology by macroscopic observation and using inverted phase contrast microscope;Expression of Fos protein in cultured hippocampal slice was detected by immunocytochemistry for observation of the internal response of hippocampal neurons to the damage;The electrophysiological activity of hippocampal neurons were detected by using patch clamp technique. Results:(1)The number of neurons in cultured hippocampal slices was increased,and the thickness of cultured hippocampal slices was decreased markedly along with the culturing period in vitro.After being cultured for 4 weeks,the thickness of hippocampal slices was decreased to about 150?m.(2)With the treatment of pilocarpine to induce seizure-like activity,the number of neurons which expressing Fos protein was increased in CA1 area of the cultured hippocampal slice.(3)With the application of pathch clamp technique,the changes of the ion currents of pyramidal neurons in CA1 area were recorded by the whole-cell recording after culturing for 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks and 4 weeks respectively.Conclusion:Cultured hippocampal slice in vitro could retain satisfactory liveness and function for at least 4 weeks.

Iodine is an essential trace element for growth and development of fetus. More and more surveys currently show that the urinary iodine level of pregnant women is between 100 - 149 μg/L, which is lower than the level recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Under this level of iodine nutrition, different investigations have shown different effects on thyroid function of pregnant women, and the impact on growth and development of the fetus requires long-term objective evaluation. At present, there are three aspects: development, intelligence quotient (IQ), and psychological behavior. There are not many studies on comprehensive evaluation. This article combs the related published research to provide a reference for further clarifying the influence of iodine nutrition level during pregnancy on thyroid function of pregnant women and the growth and development of their offspring.

Objective To study changes in the expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 of mononuclear cells and the related chemotatic factor macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) in the livers of rats with Walker-256 tumors treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and to elucidate the influence of RFA on differentiation and migration of liver dendritic cells(DCs).Methods Walker-256 liver tumors were induced in 60 SpragueDawley rats by implanting tumor particles. These rats were randomly divided equally into three groups from which liver tissue around the local area of the tumor was sampled at 7 d and 14 d after RFA. The mononuclear liver cells were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The expression levels of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 in the mononuclear cells were analyzed with flow cytometry. The expression level of MIP-1α in the liver tissue was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results The average expression of OX-6 in the control rats was 15.29 ±4.59% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 34.20±11.62% and 39.18±9.14% respectively. The difference between the two RFA groups and the control group was statistically significant. The average expression rate of OX-62 in the control rats was 18.91±4.58% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 24.49±4.45% and 22.77 ± 3.50% respectively. The difference between the 7 d group and the control group was significant. The average expression rate of CD86 in the control rats was 66.29±17.69% and those 7 d and 14 d after RFA were 55.29±10.69% and 55.93±12.64% respectively. These differences between both RFA groups and the controls group were not significant. The average expression level of MIP-1 α around the tumors was 232.92±54.58 pg/ml in the controls and 499.38±15.14 pg/ml and 495.90±9.94 pg/ml 7d and 14 d after RFA respectively. These differences from the controls were both statistically significant. Conclusion The expression of MIP-1α around the tumors was elevated after RFA, which could promote the migration of DCs. The changes in the expression of OX-62, OX-6 and CD86 also could reflect increased DC differentiation, which could improve local antigen-presenting capacity to a certain extent and recovery of host anti-tumor immune response.
