Objective To investigate the effects of penehyclidine (PHCD) pretreatment on nuclear factor kappa B ( NF-kB ) activity during lipopolysaccharide ( LPS )-induced acute lung injury ( ALl ) in neonate rats.Methods Thirty 7-day old Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 18-21 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =10 each): group Ⅰ control (group C); group Ⅱ LPS; group Ⅲ PHCD. Group Ⅱ and Ⅲ received intraperitoneal ( group IP) LPS 3 mg/kg. In group Ⅲ PHCD 5 mg/kg was administered IP at 30 min before LPS respectively. The animals were killed at 4 h after LPS administration. The lungs were immediately removed. The W/D lung weight ratio was measured. The TNF-α, IL-1 βand IL-10 content in the lung were detected by ELISA and expression of NF-kB p65 was detected by immuno-histochemical staining.Results LPS significantly increased W/D lung weight ratio, TNF-α, IL-1 β, IL-10 content and NF-kB p65 expression in the lung as compared with control group. PHCD administered before LPS significantly attenuated the LPS-induced changes. Electron microscopy showed that PHCD before LPS significandy ameliorated the LPS-induced histological damages. Conclusion Pretreatment with PHCD can attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury though inhibition of NF-kB activation and inflammatory response of lung tissue in neonate rats.

Objective To explore the effects of 4-phenylbutyric acid(PBA) on cognitive dysfunction after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and underlying mechanisms.Methods 62 male Sprague Dawley rats in clean degree were divided into sham group(n=14),chronic cerebral ischemia group(bilateral carotid arteries occlusion,2VO group,n=24),and chronic cerebral ischemia with PBA treatment(2VO+PBA group,n=24).The chronic cerebral ischemia models were produced by the occlusion of bilateral common caroid artery for 1 month.During the hypoperfusion,the rats were injected intraperitoneally with 11.25 mg · ml-1 PBA(90 mg · kg-1 · d-1) or equal volume of saline once a day for 3 days followed by every other day for 27 days.Learning and memory abilities were tested by Morris water maze and novel object recognition test.The expression and distribution of NR2A in hippocampus were examined by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results Morris water maze test showed that the 2VO group had significantly longer latent time than sham group in searching platform (P<0.01) (from 2nd day to 7th day latency time),and the 2VO+PBA group had dramatically shorter latent time than 2VO group (2nd,5th,6th,7th (P<0.01),3rd(P<0.05)).Then the rats' memory test showed that 2VO group spent markedly longer time than sham group to reach the location of the former platform(P<0.01),but the 2VO+PBA group spent dramatically shorter latent time than 2VO group (P<0.01).The novel object recognition test showed the exploration ratio and discrimination index of novel object in 2VO group were noticeably smaller than that in sham group (P<0.01),but the exploration ratio and discrimination index of novel object in 2VO+PBA group were noticeably higher than that in 2VO group (P<0.01).The Western blot data showed that the level of NR2A in 2VO group was significantly lower than that in sham group (P<0.01),but the level of NR2A in 2VO+PBA group was significantly higher than that in 2VO group (P<0.05).The level of NR2B in hippocampus of 2VO group had no significant difference with sham group and 2VO+PBA group (P>0.05).Immunohistochemistry data was consistent with the data of Western blot for NR2A level and distribution.The ratio of p-CREB/total CREB in 2VO group(0.62±0.04) was remarkably lower than that in sham group(1.00±0.07),but the ratio of p-CREB/total CREB in 2VO+PBA group(0.97±0.07) was remarkably higher than that in 2VO group(P<0.01).Conclusion NR2A reduction is associated with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment,which is rescued by the PBA treatment.It suggests that PBA may have a therapeutic effect on preventing chronic cerebral hypoperfusion-induced cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the type of gliding contusion and its mechanism with site of force.Methods The site undergoing contusion and ways of force are respectively determined by skull anatomy location and details of these cases.Then,the 132 specimens of brain,which have been fixed by formalin,are sliced in coronal section and sagittal section and stained with HE,observed under microscope.ResultsGliding brain contusion could appeared at the top and bottom region of brain respectively.Top-injury type,were observed in 65 cases(49.24%),base-injury type,were found in 38 cases(28.78%).There were 29 cases(21.96%) in which contusion could be found at both top and base of brain,we called mixed type.We found that the injury area depend on the ways of force-act:the top-injury type mostly caused by the force on cupular part of pars zygomatica in acceleration,the base-injury type mainly caused by the force on occipitalia in deceleration and the mixed type caused by the force on the boundry of the calvaria and occipital in deceleration.Conclusion The type of gliding contusion is relevant with mechanism and site of force.

Objective To observe the effects of low dose irradiation (LDI) on autoiogous CIK cell proliferation, phenotype and killing activity in tumor patients, and to provide the evidence for clinical application of adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated from 10 patients with malignant tumor, and CIK cells were cultured with different cytokines. (1) After 10 d culture, C1K cells were irradiated with different doses as 30, 50, 80, 100 and 200 Gy of X-rays was also detected. The CIK cell proliferation and killing activity were measured with 3H-TdR incorporation assay and 3H-TdR release assay, respectively and the percentage variation of CD3 +CD56 + were measured with flow cytometry after 24 h. ( 1 ) Autologous CIK cells were irradiated with 80 mGy X-rays. At different culture time ( 12, 24, 48, 72 h) after irradiation, the killing activity was measured with 3H-TdR release assay. (3) The effect of 3d low dose irradiation of 80 mGy X-rays on thekilling activity of CIK cells was also detected. Results After the CIK cells were irradiated with different doses as 50, 80, 100, 200 mGy of X-rays, the CPM values were 20 048.6 ± 2332. 2 ( t = 2.2, P <0.05), 21 832.2 ±2975.9 (t=3.5, P<0.01), 21 000.3 ±2451.1 (t=3.3, P<0.01), 19908.1 ±2051.0 ( t = 2.2, P < 0.05 ), respectively and the proliferation of CIK cells were significantly higher than that of control group. The CD3 + CD56 + cell percentage of 50, 80, 100 mGy groups were ( 30.3 ±3.8)% (t=2.3, P<0.05), (32.3±3.4)% (t=4.2, P<0.01), (29.742.9)% (t = 2.4, P<0.05 ), respectively. The killing activity of CIK cells of 80, 100 mGy groups were 55.2 ± 5.0 ( t = 3.3, P < 0.01 ), 52.8 ± 4.1 ( t = 2.3, P < 0.05 ), respectively. The killing activity of CIK cells up-regulated significantly at 24 h, dropped to normal levels at 48 h and 72 h. After 80 mGy X-ray irradiation for 3 consecutive days, the killing activity of CIK cells at different time points were 55.2 ± 5.3 (t = 2.6, P <0.05),61.9 ± 4.4 (t = 4.7, P <0.01), 67.2 ±5.7 (t = 5.7, P <0.01) for 24, 48, 72 h,respectively.

Objective To investigate the interaction of human testis sperm-associated antigen 4 like(SPAG4L) protein containing Sad,UNC-84(SUN) domain with nuclear envelop spectrin repeat proteins 3 (Nesprin-3) containing Klarsicht,ANC-1 and Syne homology (KASH) domain.Methods SPAC-4L protein domains were analyzed with the bioinformatics method.After the SPAG4L plasmid was transfected into Ntera-2 cells,the subcellular localization of SPAG4L was observed.The interaction of SPAG4L with Nesprin-3 was determined by immunofluorescence,co-immunoprecipitation(co-IP) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) technology,respectively.Results Bioinformatics analysis results showed that there was a transmembrane structure in SPAG4L protein.Subcellular localization results demonstrated that SPAG4L protein located in the nuclear membrane and cytoplasm.Immunofluorescence,Co-IP,and BiFC results showed that there was an interaction between SPAG4L and Nesprin-3,and that a LINC(linkers of the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeletan) complex was formed.Conclusion SPAG4L may interact with Nesprin-3 to form a LINC complex,which is important for understanding the function of SPAG4L protein in spermatogenesis.
