ObjectiveTo explore the intervention effect and the underlying molecular mechanism of 3-Methyladenine on behavioral damage of neonatal rat with prolonged seizures. MethodsForty-five 6-dayold SD rats were randomly ( random number) divided into the recurrent prolonged neonatal seizure group ( RS group), the 3-MA-treated seizure group and control group. The volatile agent flurothyl was used to induce 30 min seizure attack. At postnatal day 6 (P6), recurrent seizures were induced once daily for successive 6 days in both RS group and 3-MA group. In 3-MA group, 3-MA (2 μL) was injected daily before seizures induced.Neural-behavior changes were observed with double-blind method including swimming development, open field test and Morris water maze analysis. Bcl-2 and Beclinl protein levels in hippocampus were detected by western blot method at P50. ResultsThe total scores of swimming behavior in RS rats were decreased significantly compared with those of control and 3-MA rats ( control: 7. 44 ±1. 13, RS: 5.06±1.63, 3-MA: 7.33 ±1.08, F=16.19, P＜0. 01) . The start-latency time of open filed behavior in RS rats ( 13. 33 ±6. 69) were increased significantly compared with that of control (7. 11 ±2. 37) and 3-MA rats (9. 91 ±4. 23) (F=4. 39, P＜0. 05). The escape latency was significantly longer in rats of RS group than that of control and 3-MA rats on the 4th and 5th days (P ＜ 0.05). The level of Bcl-2 in hippocampus of RS group (0. 587 +0. 139) were significantly lower than that of control (0. 782 +0. 083) and 3-MA groups (0. 799 + 0. 163) (F =4. 7 1, P ＜ 0. 05 ). There were no significant differences in the level of Beclin1 protein in hippocampus among the three groups ( F =0. 27, P ＞ 0. 05 ).Conclusions Pretreatment with autophagy inhibitor 3-MA in acute phase of neonatal seizures could significantly improve neurobehavioral capacity, which might be associated with the increased in the level of Bcl-2 protein in hippocampus.

ObjectiveTo explore the potentiality of protection by bubble bath hydrotherapy to brain damage of neonatal rats with recurrent seizures.MethodsSixty Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into control group ( CON),control hydrotherapy group ( HCON ),recurrent-seizure group (RS) and recurrent-seizure hydrotherapy group (HRS).Each group had 15 rats.The volatile agent flurothyl was used to induce 30 min seizure attack.At postnatal day 6 (P6),recurrent seizures were induced once per day for consecutive 6 days in the RS group and HRS group.Rats in the CON and HCON group were placed into the container for same time as their counterpart without exposure to flurothyl.In HCON and HRS groups,Bubble bath hydrotherapy intervention was used after the end of the last seizure for 28 consecutive days.Inspections were made for maturation of physical characteristics,neural behavior.PRG-1 and Bcl-2 protein level in cerebral cortex were detected by western blot method at P50.Results1.Maturation of physical characteristics:body weights of the rats in the RS group were decreased significantly (P＜0.05).Body weights of HRS rats were significantly increased than that of RS rats(P＜0.05 ).There were no significant difference of physiological development phenomenon among the five groups (P ＞0.05 ).2.There was high nerve excitation in hydrotherapy group ( At P26,the scores of OFT respectively were 45.78 ± 18.31 for CON,59.78 ± 25.61 for HCON,27.78 ± 16.83 for RS and 53.15 ± 22.43 for HRS,P ＜ 0.01 ).3.The expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex of RS group were significantly higher than that of CON group (1.149 ±0.191 for RS,0.910 ±0.162 for CON,P＜ 0.05 ).The level of Bcl-2 in cerebral cortex of RS group ( 1.149 ±0.191 ) were significantly lower than that of CON group( 1.259 ±0.157) (P＜0.05 ),the level of Bcl-2in cerebral cortex of HRS group( 1.572 ± 0.333 ) were significantly higher than that of RS group(P＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionMaturation of physical characteristics and neurobehavioral were damages following recurrent neonatal seizures,which may be associated with significantly increased level of PRG-1 protein and decreased level of Bcl-2protein in cerebral cortex.The early intervention by Bubble bath hydrotherapy can play a positive role on developmental rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the long-term effects of bubble baths on seizure-induced neurobehavior deficits and the expression of apoptotic/autophagic marker B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 ( Bcl-2 ),Beclin-1,and plasticity-related gene-1 ( PRG-1 ) in newborn rats. MethodsSixty rats aged 6 days were randomly divided into 4 groups:a control group (CON),a control hydrotherapy group (HCON),a recurrent-seizure group (RS) and a recurrent-seizure hydrotherapy group (HRS),with 15 in each group.Flurothyl was used to induce 30 min of seizures daily for 6 consecutive days in the RS and HRS groups.Rats in the CON and HCON groups were placed in the same container for equal duration without exposure to flurothyl.Rats in the HCON and HRS groups were given bubble baths for 28 consecutive days after the end of the last seizure.Neurobehavioral damage was observed using open field behavior at postnatal day 26 (P26) and Morris water maze performance at postnatal day 43 to 49 (P43-P49) and a single-blind method.PRG-1,Bcl-2 and Beclin-1 protein levels in the hippocampus were detected by Western blotting at postnatal day 50 (P50). Results①The average open field test scores of the RS rats decreased significantly compared with those of the CON and HRS rats at P26.②In the Morris water maze test the average latencies of all rats decreased gradually from the 1st to 5th days (d1 to d5) after establishment of seizure model.The average escape latency was significantly longer for rats of the RS group than for CON group rats at the 4th and 5th days ( d4 and d5 ) after establishment of seizure model.The escape latency was significantly shorter for rats of the HRS group than for RS group rats at d4.③The level of Bcl-2 protein in the hippocampus was much lower in the RS group than in the HRS and control groups.In addition,the expression of PRG-1 in the RS group was significantly higher than in the CON group. ConclusionsRecurrent prolonged seizures cause long-term neurobehavior deficits,which might be associated with the down-regulated expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulated expression of PRG-1 in the hippocampus.Bubble baths can improve the neurobehavioral sequelae from seizures,perhaps through up-regulation of hippocampal Bcl-2 expression.

To study the effects of growth hormone on function of T lymphocytes. Methods: Tne expression plasmid PcDNA-GHcDNA was constructed,then the plasmids were transfected into Jurkat cells,on the other hand,Jurkat cells were treated with different doses ofrhGH, to investigate the effect of overexpression GH and rhGH on function of T lymphocytes. Results: Overexpression GH could increase the ex-pression of IL-2R(140％) and secretion of IL-2(160％) and IFN-γ( 198% ) in Jurkat cells after PHA activation,but these data were broughtdown by the treatment of GH antibody. rhGH could also enhancer the function of T lymphocytes after PHA activation. Conclusion: These resultssupport the idea that GH is an autocrine and paracrine factor, and can regulate the function of T lymphocytes.

Results: MVD, bFGF and VEGF expressions were different between OMFS and benign. The close correlations were found among the expressions of VEGF, bFGF and MVD. Conclusion: The expressions of VEGF and bFGF are associated with MVD which indicated that VEGF and bFGF may play important roles in angiogenesis.

The vectors play an important role in gene therapy by transporting the therapy genes into target tumor cells. At present there are mainly two kinds of gene vectors, including biological and non-biological vectors. Biological vectors, including virus, bacteria and stem cells, have good target activity and can efficiently delivery the genes into target tumor cells, but have potential genetic hazards.However, non-biological vectors, including liposomes and nanoparticles, can be simplely prepared with high genetic safety, but they can not transport the genes efficiently. Therefore, establishing safe and effective malignant glioma gene treatment system and finding gene vectors with good target activity become the research focus.
