Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on the cerebral injury induced by ketamine in neonatal rats. Methods Eighty 7-day-old SD rats of both sexes, weighing 12-20 g, were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 20 each): normal saline (NS) group, ketamine-induced cerebral injury group (group K), propofol group (group P) and propofol combined with ketamine group (group PK). Group NS received intraperitoneal NS 1 ml. In groups K, P and PK, ketamine 70 mg/kg, propofol 70 mg/kg and propofol 70 mg/kg + ketamine 70 mg/kg were injected intraperitoneally once every 2 h for 3 times respectively. Ten rats in each group were selected and sacrificed at 24 h after emergence from anesthesia and the hippocampi obtained to determine the neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression(by immunohitochemistry). The apoptosis rate was calculated.The other 10 rats in each group were selected at 21 days after the intraperitoneal injection and the learning and memory functions (escape latency and frequency of crossing the original platform) were evaluated using Morris water maze. Results Compared with group NS, the apoptosis rate was significantly increased in group K, Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated in groups P and PK, and Bax protein expression was up-regulated, the escape latency was significantly prolonged and the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantly decreased in the other groups (P < 0.05 .or 0.01 ). Compared with group K, the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased in group PK, Bax protein expression was down-regulated in group P, and Bcl-2 protein expression was up-regulated,the escape latency was significantly shortened and the frequency of crossing the original platform was significantlyincreased in groups P and PK ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Propofol can reduce the cerebral injury induced by ketamine in neonatal rats, and the regulation of the Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression and inhibition of the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To assess the protective effect of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib on rat liver subjected to bile duct obstruction. Methods Thirty rats were divided randomly into three groups, which were sham-operation group (SO group), bile duct ligation control group (Con group) and bortezomib group (Bor group). All rats in the Con group underwent ligation of the common bile duct, and rats in the Bor group were given bortezomib intrabominally at-1 d, 4 d post-ligation of the common bile duct. All the rats were sacrificed at 7 d post-surgery. ALT, TB and TBA levels were determined. The expression of NF-κB p65 was assessed using immunohistological staining. RT-PCR was employed to detect TNF-α mRNA levels in liver samples. Results There was no significance in the levels of TB and TBA between Con and Bor groups. The ALT revel in the Bor group [(92.4±21.4)μmol/L]was significantly lower than that in the Con group [(145.7 ±33.5) μmol/L], P<0.05. The positive staining rate of NF-κB p65 subunit in the Bor group showed significant lower value (11.6% ±2.7 % ) compared to that in the Con group (15.5 %±4.3 % ), P<0.05. The expression ratio of TNF-α mRNA in the Bor group was 1.0± 0. 2, which also significantly lower than that in the Con group (1.3±0.4), P<0. 05. Conclusion These data suggest that the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib reduces rat hepatocyte injury in the bile duct ligation by mechanisms associated with the inhibition of NF-κB as well as the attenuation of inflammation.

A three-dimensional finite element model of premaxillary bone and anterior teeth was established with ANSYS 13.0. The anterior teeth were fixed with strong stainless labial archwire and lingual frame. In the horizontal loading experiments, a horizontal retraction force of 1.5 N was applied bilaterally to the segment through hooks at the same height between 7 and 21 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor; in vertical loading experiments, a vertical intrusion force of 1.5 N was applied at the midline of lingual frame with distance between 4 and 16 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor. After loading, solution was done and displacement and maximum principle stress were calculated. After horizontal loading, lingual displacement and stress in periodontal membrane (PDM) was most homogeneous when the traction force was 14 mm from the edge of central incisor; after vertical loading, intrusive displacement and stress in PDM were most homogeneous when the traction force was 12 mm from the incisal edge of central incisor. The results of this study suggested that the location of center of resistance (CRe) of six maxillary anterior teeth is about 14 mm gingivally and 12 mm lingually to incisal edge of central incisor. The location can provide evidence for theoretical and clinical study in orthodontics.
