Objective:To explore the effect of intraventricular administration of insulin on pro-apoptotic expression of Caspase-3 mRNA and neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus CA1, and neurological function after rats’ CPR. Methods:Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group;the resuscitation with saline-treated group and resuscitation with insulin-treated group. Six minute cardiac arrest was induced by ventricular fibrillation (VF) via pacing electrode placed in rats’ esophagus in saline and insulin group. Results:1. The NDS revealed a clear neurological deficit after reperfusion 24 h, 72 h in insulin and saline group as compare to the sham group, Comparing to the saline group, Insulin could improve the rats’ neurologic function after CPR 24 (insulin vs. saline group, 70(64~72)vs.56(50~58), P<0.001);2. Through TUNEL stain, insulin inhibited apoptosis in CA1 hippocampus as compare to the saline after CPR 7d. (F=5.853, P=0.02) 3.Caspase-3 expression in insulin-treated groups were significantly decreased compared to the saline-treated group after reperfusion 24h and 72h[(70(64~72), 56(50~58);P<0.001]. Conclusion:Intraventricular administration of insulin could inhibit the mRNA expression levels of the apoptotic activities of Caspase-3 after cardiac arrest, prevent neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 hippocampus and improve the rats’ neurological function (at least 24hours) after CPR.

Objective To study the chemical constituents in fruits of Catalpa ovata. Methods Isolation and purification were carried out by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and active carbon column chromatography etc. Constituents were identified and structurally elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Results Eight compounds were obtained, six of them were determined as catalpol (Ⅰ), catalposide (Ⅱ), ursolic acid (Ⅲ), ?-daucosterol (Ⅳ), nonacosane (Ⅴ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅵ). (Conclusion)(All (~1H-NMR) and (~(13)C-NMR) chemical shifts of the compound) Ⅱ are assigned by UV, IR, ESI-MS, HREI-MS, (~1H-NMR), (~(13)C-NMR), HMQC, and HMBC techniques. Compounds Ⅲ and Ⅴ are isolated from the plant for the first time.

Objective To study the chemical constituents in fruits of Catalpa ovata.Methods Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the constituents.Structures of the compounds were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis (UV, IR, ESI-MS, 1H-NMR , 13 C-NMR , 1H- 1H COSY , HMQC, HMBC, NOESY, and CD).Results A compound was isolated and identified as 2(S)-(3′-hydroxy-5′-methoxy)-benz-3(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-6-trans-ethyl acrylate-8-methoxy-benzofuran.Conclusion This compound is a novel compound named as catalpafurxin.

Objective To investigate the expression of Ki-67 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and its relationship with grade and stage. Methods Immunohistochemistry method were used to detect the expression of Ki-67 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and control groups. Results The positive expression rate of Ki-67 antigen in 60 cases of bladder cancer, 20 cases of benign bladder disease and 10 cases normal bladder mucosa were 25.9 %, 10.3 % and 1.1 %. There were significantly difference among each group. The more grade and stage, the greater expression of Ki-67 antigen. Conclusion Ki-67 antigen is related to cell proliferation. The expression of the Ki-67 antigen in bladder cancer is closely related to the grade extent of tumor, and it is an important cell proliferation indicator. As a signal, Ki-67 antigen reflects cell proliferation, measurement of the expression of the Ki-67 antigen could reflect the condition of tumor cell proliferation. It might be an important prognostic factor for judging the occurrence, development and prognosis of the tumor.

Rhetsinine has been isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa ( Juss. ) Benth. ~1H NMR and ~(13)C NMR assignments reported previously for rhetsinine were revised on the basis of UV, IR, ESI-MS,~1H NMR, ~(13)C NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Pulmonary fibrosis , an important cause of pulmonary diseases , has no effective protective and therapeutic meas-ures.Recent studies showed high mobility group protein B 1 (HMGB1) has an important role in the development of pulmonary fibrosis and many HMGB1 antagonists can alleviate pulmonary fibrosis in animal models .This paper summarizes the structure , function, intra-cellular signal transduction of HMGB1, the expression change of HMGB1 in pulmonary fibrosis and HMGB1 targeted therapy in pulmo-nary fibrosis in order to provide an effective basis for clinical treatment of pulmonary fibrosis .

JAK2 V617F gene mutation positive myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) consists of polycythemia vera (PV),essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).This article focuses on their risk scoring systems and treatment including first-and second-line therapies,JAK2 inhibitors,cytoreduction,antifibrosis and other single-agent or combination therapy.

Objective:To investigate influences of bicortical anchora ge on the values of natural frequency of dental implants. Methods: Using the commercial code of SolidWorks, 3-D models of a screw-shaped dental i mplant and a mandibular bone segment were generated. After the 3-D implant-bon e complex was meshed by ABAQUS software, effects of bicortical anchorage on the buccolingual and axial first-order natural frequencies of the implant were comp uted. Results:Bicortical anchorage increased the buccolingual na tural frequencies and the axial natural frequencies of the implants by a maximu m of 13.77% and 107.40% respectively. The apical anchorage depth in the cortical bone had an insignificant effect on further increase of implant stability. Conclusion:Bicortical anchorage can increase the stability of dental implants, especially in the axial direction.
