Thirty-six male adult rats were divided into 12 groups. The rats, except the control group, were partially (68%) hepatectomized and then killed at intervals between 12-120h after operation. Isolated hepatocytes were prepared and flow cytometry was used to study the proliferative cycle. Mitotic index and binuclear cell count have been performed in liver sections and smears of isolated hepatocytes separately. Tetraploid cells acounted for 76% of all hepatocytes in normal rats and they also constituted the main proliferative population in regenerating liver. During 12-20h after operation, some of the tetraploid cells that remained in G_2 phase entered into mitosis. At 24h after operation, peaks of S phase in tetraploid cells and of octoploid cells occurred. At 36h after operation, mitotic index reached a maxium value and thereafter the percentage of binuclear cells were reduced rapidly. At 48-72h after operation, second peak of DNA synthesis occurred, but showed wide individual variations in time and cell proportion.

BACKGROUND: The activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex axis may play key role in the increasing expression of hypothalamic corticotropin-re-leasing hormone (CRH) during stress reaction. However by what way to induce the CRH expression in hypothalamic neuron, and whether CRH can activate hypothalamic neurons are still not very clear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration in the hypothalamic neurons cultured in vitro due to exogenous CRH stimulation.DESIGN: Comparative observation experiment.SETTING: Research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA; Department of Neurosurgery , Tiantan Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Research Institute of Surgery, Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 1999 and March 2002. Hypothalamus was obtained from fetus rat at pregnancy of 17 days for the in vitro culture of hypothalamic neurons.METHODS: Hypothalamic neurons were co-cultured with exogenous CRH,with or without pretreatment with specific CRH 1 receptor antagonist -CP-154526. hypothalamic neurons were randomized into: ① CRH (10-12,10-10, 10-8, 10-6 mol/L) stimulation group. ② CP-154526(500 μmol/L)pretreatment aud CRH ( 10-12, 10-10, 10-8,10-6 mol/L) stimulation group. ③Hypothalamic neurons in corresponding normal control group were exposed to the isotonic saline stimulation. PTI fluorescence image system was used to determine and analyze the change of cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in hypothalamic neurons due to exogenous CRH stimulation and RIA was used to detect the neuronal cAMP content.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration in hypothalamic neurons. ②cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons.RESULTS: The cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content were relatively lower in the hypothalamic neurons in normal control group,which obviously increased due to CRH stimulation [(240±22),(153±11)nmol/L; (3.26±0.19),(0.44±0.02) pmol/dish,P < 0.01];CP-154526 could remarkably suppress the CRH (10-6 mol/L)induced increase in cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons [Ca2+ concentration: (240±22),(171±16)nmol/L; cAMP content:(3.26±0.19), (2.33±0.21) pmol/dish, P < 0.01].CONCLUSION: CRH can directly act on hypothalamic neurons via type 1-receptor,thereby increase the cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration and cAMP content in hypothalamic neurons,playing the key role in the modulation of the synthesis and secretion of CRH during the activation of hypothalamic neurons.

BACKGROUND: Through what signal pathway does corticotropin release hormone (CRH) regulate hypothalamic neuronal neuroendocrine activity during acute stress?OBJECTIVE: To probe into the regulatory effects of CRH on CREB secretion in hypothalamic neurons.DESIGN: Repetitive measurement design.SETTING: At Field Surgery Research Institute of Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA; Neurosurgery Department,Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to the Capital University of Medical Sciences.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in Daping Hospital of Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 1999and March 2002. Rat fetuses were selected from Wister rats of 17-day gestation.METHODS: In vitro cultured cells were divided into the following groups:① CRH (10-12, 10-10, 10-8 and 10-6 mol/L) stimulation groups. ② Pretreated with nimodipine (5 μmol/L) or CP-154526 (500 μmol/L) followed by CRH (10-12, 10-10, 10-8 and 10-6 mol/L ) stimulation groups. ③ Corresponding control groups stimulated with isotonic physiological saline. PTI fluorescence imaging system was used to detect the changes of neuronal cytoplasmic free calcium concentration; meanwhile, Western blot technique was used to determine the changes of neuronal P-CREB content.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Changes of neuronal cytoplasmic free calcium concentration. ② Changes of neuronal P-CREB content.RESULTS: The content of cytoplasmic free calcium in hypothalamic neurons was lower in normal control group, and it increased immediately after exogenous CRH stimulation. However, such increase could be suppressed by pretreatment with nimodipine or CP-154526 before CRH stimulation,and the increase of neuronal P-CREB content was also obviously suppressed.CONCLUSION: During acute stress, the combination of CRH with hypothalamic neuronal CRH 1 receptor leads to the opening of membrane Ltype calcium ions channels, thus enhancing the influx of calcium ions and increasing cytoplasmic free calcium ions content, which would further activate P-CREB signal transduction pathway in neurons. It suggests that CRH may play a vital role in hypothalamic neuronal activation.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor function and affective disorder in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods Twenty PD patients were performed by 1 Hz rTMS therapy for 15 days and 10 matched patients were performed sham stimulation. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Unified Parkinson' s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) were assessed before and 15 days after rTMS treatment. Results After treatment with rTMS, the motor function was improved, and UPDRS total score and UPDRS-Ⅰ , UPDRS-Ⅱ, UPDRS-Ⅲ scores were decreased. UPDRS score was decreased from (38.45±17.33) to (30.95± 17.00) (t=6.780,P<0.01). At the same time, HAMD score was decreased from (12.15±7.62) to (8.75±7.31 ) (t = 5.101, P<0.01 ). The scores of somatization, blockage and sleep disorders were lowered after treatment, but the HAMA score had no significant change(t=1.757, P>0.05). The rigidity of PD patients was improved obviously. All indexes had no improvement in sham stimulation group. Conclusions Low frequency rTMS may improve motor dysfunction and affective disorder in PD patients .
