The possible relationship of vesicular glutamate transporters ( VGluT1 and VGluT2 ) - and 5-HT-like immunoreactive (LI) terminals with mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus (Vme) neurons in the rat was examined by using triple-immunofluorescence histochemistry and double-labeled electron microscopic immunohistochemistry. Under confocal laser-scanning microscope, many neuronal cell bodies of Vme showed phosphate-activated glutaminase (PAG) -LI and the vast majority of them were large pseudounipolar neurons. A considerable number of VGluT1 -LI and VGluT2-LI terminals were widely distributed in Vme, the density of VGluT2-LI terminals was higher than that of VGluT1-LI. 5-HT-LI axonal varicosities had dense distribution in Vme, and some 5-HT-LI terminals also showed immunoreactivity for VGluT2. Some VGluT1-LI, VGluT2-LI, 5-HT-LI and VGluT2/5-HT-LI terminals were frequently observed in close apposition to the cell bodies of Vme neurons showing PAG-LI. Under electron microscope, VGluT1/VGluT2-LI and 5-HT-LI were visualized with silver grains and peroxidase products, respectively. Some terminals in Vme showed both VGluT2- and 5-HT-LI, these dual labeled varicosities usually made asymmetric contact with Vme neurons. Synaptic terminals that showed VGluT1-LI was also observed, but no coexpression of VGluT1 and 5-HT was found in Vme. The present results suggest that in the transmission of the proprioceptive sensory information from the orofacial regions to the higher center, glutamate and 5-HT may play important roles on the regulation of Vme neurons through complicated integration.

Background Hypertension is a multigenetic inheritable disease.Gene therapy by regulating gene expression showed long term effects and less side effects,and has been emerged to be a potential and prospective treatment.Objective To investigate the effects of retroviraladeno-associated virus vector containing shRNA targeted on the AT1R gene (rAAV-AT1R-shRNA) on blood preesure(BP) in renal hypertensive rats,and the inhibitory effect of RNA interference (RNAi) on AT1R mRNA expression in renal hypertensive rats.Methods Two-kideny one-clip (2K1C) renal hypertension (RH) were established in SD rats and randomly to receive rAAV-AT1R-shRNA,1.5?109 particles/mL(n=12,ip),as treated group or retroviral vector (rAAV-EGFP),2.9?109 particles/mL,ip,as vehicle group,normal SD rats served as controls (n=12).SBP was measured before and after treatment.Animals were euthanized and blood,brain,heart,liver,kidney,aorta and adrenal gland were collected to identify the sites of rAAV-AT1R-shRNA expression by fluorescence microscope.Angiotensin Ⅱwas assessed by radioimmunology.Results 24 hours after single injection of rAAV-AT1R-shRNA,SBP was reduced by (22.3?5.5)mmHg compared to before intervention (P

Objective To observe the co-localization of phosphate activated glutaminase(PAG) and parvalbumin(PV) in neurons,and the connections between preprodynorphin-like immunoreactive(PPD-LI) or preproenkephalin(PPE)-LI terminals and coexistent neurons of PAG-LI and PV-LI in the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus(Vme) of the rat. Methods In the present study,the immunofluorescence histochemical double-staining and triple-staining technique were used.The staining results were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope. Results Many neuronal cell bodies through the whole rostrocaudal extent of Vme showed PAG-LI and PV-LI.The majority of them were large pseudounipolar neurons.A considerable number of PV-LI neurons expressed PAG-LI,cell counts showed that more than 95% of PV-I neurons were immunostained with PAG-LI.Confocal laser scanning microscope further revealed that axonal varicosities with PPD-LI or PPE-LI were found to make close contact with neuronal cell bodies of Vme showed both PAG-LI and PV-LI. Conclusion The present results indicated that the glutamate and PV are involved in the transmission of the trigeminal proprioceptive sensory singals from the Vme to the higher centers,simultaneously,dynorphin-and enkephalin-immuoreactive terminals may also exert modulatory influence on the primary afferent cell bodies of the Vme.;

Objective To investigate the expression changes of nuclear factor(NF)-κB and activator protein (AP)-1 in oxazolone induced colitis in mice and their mechanisms. Methods Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into normal group and model group with 12 each. Experimental colitis was induced with skin sensitization of 3% oxazolone for 5 days, then rectal administration of 0.15 ml of 0. 5% oxazolone solution in mice. All mice were sacrificed on day 3. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), spleen mononuclear cells (SMC) and lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) were isolated from the colon tissues. Expression of NF-κB and AP-1 in SMC, LPMC and PBMC were determined by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The colitis was evaluated histologically. Results The expressions of NF-κB and AP-1 in SMC, LPMC,PBMC of model groupwere significantly higher than those in normal group(NF-κB : 5.62±0.78 vs. 3.16±0.59,5.46±0.38 vs. 3.18±0.58, 5.65±0.56 vs. 3.36±0.59, P＜0.01; AP-1; 5.61±0.54 vs. 3.22±0.50, 5.50±0.69 vs. 3.19± 0.40,5.67±0.44 vs. 3. 27±0.41, P＜0.01). Conclusion The activation of NF-κB and AP-1 are involved in the mechanisms of ulcerative colitis.

Objective To investigate the effect and clinical valve of target-controlled infusion of remifentanil for conscious intubation of patients under fibrobronchoscopy.Methods Forty patients were randomly divided into two groups(F and R),each group contained 20 cases.All of the patients were intubated on regional anaesthesia,as the first step,then the patients in F group were given fentanyl 2?g/kg by vein.In remifentanil target-controlled infusion group(R group),the patients were kept infusing remifentanil 2ng/ml.Results (1)Haemodynamics:in R group,SBP and HR kept steadily;In F group,while the two indices increased significantly.(2)Static pulmonary function:in R group,RR,VT deceased remarkablely.There were no difference between two groups in SpO_2 and P_ ET CO_2.(3)Tracheal intubating condition and Ramsay score in R group were better than in F group;Cardiovascular response in R group was lower.Conclusion Target-controlled infusion of remifentanil for conscious intubation can achieve excellent result,with less cardiovascular response.

BACKGROUND:Peri-fracture nerve injury can inhibit osteoclast activity and promote early fracture healing. OBJECTIVE:To investigate dynamical y the effects of traumatic brain injury on the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property and bone metabolism in rat models of fractures. METHODS:Sixty-three male rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham group, simple fracture group and fracture combined with brain injury group. After 3, 6, and 3 months, the animals were sacrificed in batches under anesthesia, and then, the bones and serum specimens were used to detect the bone mineral density, microstructure, biomechanics property, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the simple fracture group, the fracture combined brain injury group had significantly increased bone mineral density of the proximal tibia, bone volume fraction of the cancel ous bone, trabecular thickness, cross-sectional area of tibial cortical bone and total area of the bone marrow, ultimate load and stress of the tibia, serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of col agen type I and osteocalcin levels at 3 and 6 weeks after modeling (P<0.05), but no differences in the above-mentioned indexes were found among the three groups at 3 months after modeling. These findings indicate that traumatic brain injury can increase the bone mineral density at the fracture site, improve bone microstructure and enhance biomechanical properties, thereby promoting bone healing and bone metabolism at the fracture site.
