Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of a major depression animal model for old man es?tablished with orchidectomized(ORX) and subsequently olfactory bulbectomized(OBX) rat. Methods Healthy Sprague?Dawley male adult rats were randomly assigned to six groups with ten rats in each group:intact,sham?oper?ated,model,vehicle,fluoxetine plus testosterone propionate(Flu+TP) and amitriptyline plus testosterone propionate (Ami+TP) groups. ORX+OBX rat model was established. Therapy of Flu or Ami (10 mg/kg,i.p.) combined with TP(25 mg/kg,s.c.) was administered. Behavioral changes of rats in each group were detected. Results Open field test: The number of rat crossing lattices in model((124.50±14.25)lattices) or vehicle group( 118.70± 10.27) was significantly larger than those of intact(38.20±6.30),sham?operated(33.70±9.58),Flu+TP (34.00± 9.82) and Ami+TP group (35.20±12.54). The rearing number of model or vehicle group was also significantly larger than those of intact,sham?operated,Flu+TP and Ami+TP group.Statistical differences in the above corre?sponding comparisons of open field test existed (P<0.01). Forced swimming test: The immobility time of model ((131.70±32.44)s) or vehicle group ((135.10±34.01)s) was significantly longer than those of intact((66.60± 12.06)s),sham?operated((62.00±13.38)s),Flu+TP((59.60±8.89)s) and Ami+TP group ((64.80±10.78)s). There were statistical differences in the above corresponding comparisons (P<0.01). Morris water maze test: The escape latency of model((62.00±26.05)s) or vehicle group ((60.52±27.00)s) was significantly longer than those of intact((24.19±9.12)s),sham?operated((21.06±8.13)s),Flu+TP((22.88±8.01)s) and Ami+TP group ((27.04±10.11)s);while the time rat swimming in the quadrant originally put a platform of model or vehicle group was significantly shorter than those of intact,sham?operated,Flu+TP and Ami+TP group. There were statisti?cal differences in the above corresponding comparisons of Morris water maze test (P<0. 01, P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion The above data demonstrates that ORX+OBX rat model is both repeatability and reliability,and can be a major depression animal model of old man for future researches.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent chemotactic and mitogenic factor, is involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis and platelet production. Our studies demonstrate the presence of functional PDGF receptors (PDGFR) on human megakaryocytes/platelets and CD34(+) cells, and their ability to mediate a mitogenic response. PDGF promotes the ex vivo expansion of human hematopoietic stem (CD34(+)) and progenitor (CD41(+)) cells. More significantly, PDGF enhances the engraftment of human CD45(+) cells and their myeloid subsets (CD33(+), CD14(+) cells) in NOD/SCID mice. PDGF also stimulates in vitro megakaryocytopoiesis via PDGFR and/or the indirect effect on bone marrow microenvironment to produce TPO and other cytokines. It also shows a direct stimulatory effect of PDGF on c-Fos, GATA-1 and NF-E2 expressions in megakaryocytes. We speculate that these transcription factors may be involved in the signal transduction of PDGF on the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis. PDGF also enhances platelet recovery in mouse model with radiation-induced thrombocytopenia. This radioprotective effect is likely to be mediated via PDGFR with subsequent activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. It provides a possible explanation that blockage of PDGFR may reduce thrombopoiesis and play a role in imatinib mesylate-induced thrombocytopenia.

Radiotherapy (RT) is the primary treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). In order to achieve tumor control, nearby normal brain tissues, especially the temporal lobes, often receive unnecessary radiation. Patients with NPC treated by RT may occur cognitive impairments, which significantly compromises the quality of life. The symptoms of cognitive dysfunction induced by RT in NPC patients can exhibit at the early or later stage after RT, which may be related to temporal lobe injury or brain damage induced by radiation. However, the relationship between the cognitive declines induced by RT and the radiation dose or volume of the temporal lobe (or the dosimetry to treat NPC) has not yet been definitively established, and few reports have focused on cognitive impairment following intensity modulated RT. Therefore, this paper will review the progress in radiation-induced cognitive decline of NPC patients in order to provide the basis for preventing side effects of RT and improving the quality of life after RT.
