Objective:To introduce an economical and pragmatic method of establishing oxygen-glucose deprivation model for hippocampal slice of neonatal rats in vitro. Methods: Hippocampal slices(400?m) from 8~10-day-old rats were transferred into an incubator with insert of Millicell membrance and incubated for 7d,14d,20d and 30d respectively.Then they were observed under convened microscope to evaluate their growing state,and detected their ability to absorb propidiumiodide(PI) under fluorescent microscope after they had been stained by PI , The state of the hippocampal slices was observed at different time after aerating Nitrogen gas. Results:(1)No PI labelled cells were found after 7d and 14d.However,15% PI positive cells were found after 30d.(2)The longer in Nitrogen gas ,the more apoptosis cells.(3)Intensive fluorescence was observed in the CA1, CA3 and DG areas of the hippocampal slice after aerating Nitrogen gas for 1.5h.Conclusion:The hippocampal slice can be alive for about 30 days.Stable oxygen-glucose deprivation model of the hippocampal slice in vitro was successfully established after aerating Nitrogen gas for 1.5h.

Purpose: Repopulation is among those which causes treatment failure in cancer radiotherapy. The study focuses on a better understanding of radiation-induced repopulation for cancer cells.Materials and Methods: It was measured by BrdUrd/DNA flow cytometric analysis that the kinetic changes after various radiation dose-time effects on human nasophayngeal carcinoma cells. The surviving fraction of the clonogenic cells was also measured by limiting dilution method.Results: (1) the shortening of Tpot of overall cell population after 0～8 Gy of irradiation was closely related to the decrease of the clonogenic cells;(2) an increased DNA synthesis was suggested as a result of the increase of radiation dose and (3) in vitro ,the proliferative status of the clonogenic cells was as same as that of overall cell population 48 hours after irradiation.Conclusion: (1) the accelerated repopulation of CNE cells after irradiation is related to their self-regulation;and (2) Tpot may be used as a predictive value in clinical radiotherapy.

ObjectiveTo compare the sweep pattern visual evoked response acuity SPVER-A with the logarithmic visual acuity.MethodsSPVER-A and logarithmic visual acuity were measured and compared in 50 people. 8-squared vertical gratings were presented as stimuli continuously.The responses were averaged and displayed through the discrete fourier transform on the monitor display.The SPVER acuity was determined by extrapolating the SPVER amplitude-spatial frequency function to baseline.ResultsThe overall correlation was r=0.699 between the SPVER-A and logarithmic visual acuity.Underestimation of acuity by the SPVER when the logarithmic visual acuity is better than 0.5.On the other hand,when the logarithmic visual acuity is worse than 0.5 the SPVER-A was overestimated.ConclusionSPVER-A has a good correlation to logarithmic acuity.The difference between two methods may indicate that the grating acuity and logarithmic /visual acuity activate different system.

Objective To investigate the effects of homemade tirofiban on activated-platelet and prethrombotic state in rabbit model of iliac artery injury by balloon angioplasty.Methods Forty New Zealand white rabbits,lavaged with aspirin(12 mg/kg)and clopidogrel(16mg/kg)8～12hs before the experiment,followed by abrosia,were divided into 3 groups.The iliac artery injury models were set up successfully only in 30 out of the forty rabbits.Rabbits in the pre-treatment group(n=11)received homemade tirofiban right after being lavaged and the drug was given to the treatment group(n=13)later after the iliac artery was injured by PTCA balloon.Placebo was given to the control(n=6)after the injury.Blood samples were drawn before and after the procedure for platelet aggregation,sP-selectin and 6-Keto-PGF1? analysis.Changes in iliac systolic blood pressure(SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were monitored throughout the operation.Iliac arteriography and pathological study were carried out in some animals for analysis of the composition of thrombus.Results(1)The sP-selectin levels were different between the pre-treatment group and the treatment group(58.1?26.2 ?g/L vs 24.8?14.3 ?g/L pre-operation;53.2?40.2 ?g/L vs 53.5?27.7 ?g/L post-operation,respectively,P

Objective To study the role of Schwann cells apoptosis in the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune neuritis(EAN) in TNF receptor Ⅰ knock out(TNFR Ⅰ-/-)mice.Methods For induction of EAN,TNFRⅠ-/- and wild type C57BL/6 mice were immunized by subcutaneous injection into the back with the peripheral nerve P0 protein peptide 180-199;clinical scores of EAN were assessed and scored immediately before immunization(day 0) and thereafter every other day until day 46 post immunization(p.i.).On day 22 p.i.,Schwann cells were collected from the two groups and cultivated in vitro.The expressions of Fas and Annexin-Ⅴ(Annexin-Ⅴ+/PI-)on Schwann cells from TNFRⅠ-/-and wild type EAN were detected by flow cytometry.Results More light clinical signs of EAN were observed in the TNFRⅠ-/-mice(1.50?0.19) than in wild type mice(1.90?0.16);the percentage of Fas expression on Schwann cells was significantly decreased in TNFRⅠ-/-mice(88.03%?1.40%)as compared with wild type mice(94.70%?1.53%)(P

CD72 is a B cell specific receptor that exists in multiple alternative splicing forms. Eight novel alternative splicing forms of CD72 were identified from the spleenocytes of BALB/C mice. Two very unique intron sequences were found in those alternative splicing forms. One kind of splicing variants retained the intron1 in the mRNA. This intron can be translated into 32 amino acid residues without changing the reading frame of the whole proteins. Another kind of splicing variants used an alternative 3' splice site in intron 3(3'AS) which led to premature termination of its encoded protein. The differential expression of the CD72 splicing variants were compared in BALB/C and NZB/W mice that were at different stage of systematic lupus erythematosis(SLE) disease development. It was found that 1) splicing forms containing 3'AS was rare in all samples examinated; 2) splicing forms containing two ITIM domains and transmembrane domains were more abundant in BALB/C mice than in NZB/W mice, even in some cases the two ITIM domains were separated by the intron 1; 3) a shorter splicing form with both exon2 and exon3 missing was expressed highly in terminally diseased NZB/W mice.These results suggested an important role of CD72 alternative splicing forms in B cell receptor signaling and in SLE.
