ABSTRACT:Objective To explore role of U0126,the specific inhibitor of ERK signaling pathway,in early brain injury (EBI)and the autophagy of nerve cells in hippocampus area in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods A total of 48 male adult SD rats were randomly divided into control group,SAH group,DMSO+SAH group,and U0126+SAH group,with 12 in each.We established SAH rat model by the puncture of internal carotid artery.The same amount of saline water,DMSO and U0126 solution of 0.5 mL per rat was injected respectively into the rats of different groups 30 min before modeling.The rats were killed at 24 h.To measure brain water content by Wet and dry method after 24 h,the morphological changes of hippocampus CA1 neural cells were observed by microscopy;the expression levels of ERK,Beclin-1 and LC3 were detected by using immunohistochemical method. Results Compared with that in sham group,brain water content increased obviously in SAH model group.The density of surviving neurons in SAH group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0 .0 5 ).ERK signaling pathway was activated obviously,the expressions of Beclin 1 and LC3-Ⅱ were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05).Compared with SAH model group,in U0126 group brain water content increased obviously.Compared with those in SAH group,the density of surviving neurons was significantly lower (P<0.05), ERK signaling pathway was suppressed,the expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ were significantly lower (P<0.05). Conclusion The U0126,the ERK signaling pathway inhibitor,can inhibit neuron autophagy and increase EBR of SAH.

Objective To explore the effect of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) signaling pathway on early brain injury and autophagy of nerve cell in hippocampus area in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Daw-ley rats were randomly divided into sham group, SAH group, SAH+dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group and SAH+U0126 group, with 12 rats in each group. The SAH model was established with puncture of internal carotid artery. The SAH+U0126 group was injected with U0126 0.05 mg/kg;the sham group and SAH group were injected with normal saline, and the SAH+DMSO group was injected with DMSO 30 min-utes before modeling. They were sacrificed 24 hours after modeling. The brain water content was measured with wet and dry method. The morphology changes of neural cells in hippocampus CA1 were observed by HE staining. The expression of phosphorylation ERK (p-ERK), Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱwere detected with immunohistochemical method and Western blotting. Results Compared with the sham group, the brain water content increased (P<0.05), the number of survival neurons decreased (P<0.05), the expression of p-ERK, Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱincreased in SAH group (P<0.05). Compared with SAH group, the brain water content increased, the number of survival neurons decreased (P<0.05), the expression of p-ERK, Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ decreased in SAH+U0126 group (P<0.05); and no significant difference was found in SAH+DMSO group (P>0.05). Conclusion The activation of ERK signaling pathway may alleviate early brain injury after SAH by regulation of autophagy.

Haining City and Jiashan County in Zhejiang Province are the first areas to carry out colorectal cancer screening in China, which started in the early 1970s and has been going on for more than 40 years. Meanwhile, Haining and Jiashan have also become the first batch of National Demonstration Bases for Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Colorectal Cancer. In the past 40 years, owing to Professor Zheng Shu who is brave and innovative, with an indomitable spirit, as well as the unremitting efforts and active exploration of all the team members, colorectal cancer screening which was unknown by the public and implemented with difficulties, has gradually been widely accepted and benefited the population. Today, remarkable achievements have been fulfilled in the colorectal cancer screening of Haining and Jiashan which has become the pioneer power in promoting the progress of colorectal cancer prevention and control in China and has certain influence both on China and the world. Meanwhile, a set of colorectal cancer screening strategies suitable for China has been explored and further promoted to be used nationwide, which is of great significance to the prevention and control of colorectal cancer in China. Looking forward to the future, the prevention and control of colorectal cancer in China is still difficult. We will continue to give full play to our existing advantages, not forget our original intention, move forward, explore innovation, and create greater glories!
