ObjectiveForskolin （FSK） analogs，isoforskolin （isoF），deacetylforskolin（deaF），and 1-acetylforskolin（1-aF），extracted from Coleus forskohlii native to Yunnan，were assayed for their adenylate cyclase stimulating activities in vitro and for effects of two analogs on ocular hypertension （OHT） in water-loaded rabbits．MethodsAdenylate cyclase stimulation was determined by protein-binding method of radioimmunoassay，and intraocular pressure was monitored by pneumatonometer．ResultsIt showed that isoforskolin and forskolin stimulated adenylate cyclase in vitro with almost equal activity，deacetylforskolin with milder activity，and 1-acetylforskolin with little activity in vitro．1％ deaF and 1-aF suppressed rabbit OHT induced by water-loading for at least 3h，with the maximal inhibitory rates of 6.0，10.9% respectively．ConclusionThis study suggests that two foskolin analogs （isoforskolin，deacetylforskolin） possess adenylate cyclase stimulation activities in vitro；deacetylforskolin and 1-acetylforskolin suppress OHT induced by water-loading in rabbits．

OBJECTIVE To explore the safe and effective dose of sirolimus (Rapamycin,Sir) and its effect on seizure comorbidities. METHODS Immature C57BL/6 mice at postnatal 10 d of age were administered with kainic acid(KA) 12.0 mg · kg-1 intraperitoneally by a single injection to induce acute seizure. Sir 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0 mg · kg-1 was injected 24 h after seizure every other day until 3 d, 1 week, 3 weeks, 5 weeks and 6 weeks. Western blotting analysis was used to detect the expression and phos?phorylation level of S6 protein and to determine the minimum effective dose of Sir. Effect of the mini?mum effective dose of Sir on cognitive function and body growth was observed by several evaluations. Immunofluorescent intensity of Doublecortin (DCX) immunofluorescent staining was conducted to evaluate the development of neurons in the hippocampus. Morris water maze was used to assess the cognitive function. Tail suspension test, O maze and new object recognition test were used to study the anxiety-like behaviors of mice. RESULTS The result of Western blotting showed that Sir 0.3 mg · kg-1 had no significant effect on the phosphorylation of S6 protein in normal mice or KA mice, whereas 1.0 and 3.0 mg · kg- 1 could significantly inhibit the phosphorylation of S6 protein in KA mice (P<0.05). Sir 1.0 mg·kg-1 had no obvious effect on DCX-positive cells or body wass. Morris water maze showed that KA-induced seizure resulted in prolonged escape latency and swimming length (P<0.05), and a decreased crossing number of target quadrant (P<0.05). Sir 1.0 mg·kg-1 significantly reversed the deficit of cognitive function of KA-induced seizure mice (P<0.05), whereas no significant difference was found between Sir group and normal control group. Compared with normal control group, model group showed increased freezing time in tail suspension test (P<0.05), decreased migration length and reten?tion time in open arms in O maze (P<0.05), decreased retention time and touch frequency with new objects, migration length and average speed in new object recognition test (P<0.05). Sir 1.0 mg · kg-1 significantly reversed the above anxiety and depression status, whereas no significant difference was found between sirolimus group and normal control group. CONCLUSION Sir 1.0 mg · kg-1 inhibits the abnormal activation of mTOR pathway and the formation of epilepsy comorbidity in immature mice. Along with its mild side effect in development, Sir 1.0 mg · kg-1 will be an ideal dose to be used in the treatment of seizure in immature mice.

Objective:To observe the effect of repeated, bilateral administration of high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating post-stroke dysphagia.Methods:Forty-five persons with post-stroke dysphagia were randomly divided into a bilateral group ( n=14 after one dropout), an affected group ( n=15) and a healthy group ( n=15). All received 30 minutes of conventional swallowing rehabilitation training 5 times a week for 2 weeks from a speech therapist. Those in the affected group also received 5Hz rTMS applied to the motor cortex controlling the suprachyoid muscle group. The bilateral group received the same stimulation bilaterally with the same duration and treatment course. Videofluoroscopy was used to assess their swallowing before and after the 2 weeks of treatment. It was rated using the penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) and the functional swallowing disorder scale (FDS). Surface electromyography was employed to evaluate suprachyoid muscle function. Cortical excitability was assessed by measuring the resting motor threshold (RMT) of the unaffected hemisphere. Results:After the treatment, the average PAS, FDS and muscle function values had improved significantly for all three groups, but significant RMT differences were observed only between the bilateral and the unaffected group. Significant differences in the average FDS and PAS scores were observed after the treatment, as well as significant changes in FDS and muscle function between the affected group and the other two groups. The average FDS scores before and after treatment were significantly different between the unaffected and bilateral group, with the former scoring significantly better than the latter. But no significant differences in the average PAS scores were observed after the treatment.Conclusions:5Hz rTMS of either the unaffected or affected cerebral cortex (or bilateral) can effectively improve the swallowing function of persons with post-stroke dysphagia. Bilateral stimulation has the greatest therapeutic effect, followed by stimulation of the unaffected cerebral cortex.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of XTP4 gene in apoptotic hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell line. Methods: HepG2 cells were transiently transfected with small interfering RNA of XTP4 genes, plasmid pcDNA3.1/myc-His(-) A-XTP4, and hepatitis B virus X protein transactivated x gene 4 (HBX protein trans-activate gene4, XTP4) and their respective negative controls. After 48h, the overexpression and interference expression condition of XTP4 in HepG2 cells were detected by Western blot. HepG2 cells apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins P53, Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 in HepG2 cells were detected by Western blot, and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated. The chemiluminescence assay was used to detect activity of caspase-3 in HepG2 cells. The measured data were presented as ( ± s), and independent sample t-test was used for comparison between the two groups. Results: HepG2 cells had successfully achieved the overexpression and interference expression of XTP4 protein. Compared with the control group, the overexpression of XTP4 in HepG2 cells had significantly decreased the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.05), and increased Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05) ratio, but decreased the expression of P53 protein (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Caspase-3 and activity of caspase-3 was decreased (P < 0.05). However, interference with XTP4 expression in HepG2 cells had significantly increased the number of apoptotic cells (P < 0.05) and decreased Bcl-2/Bax (P < 0.05) ratio, but increased the expression of P53 protein (P < 0.05). The protein expression of Caspase-3 and activity of caspase-3 was increased (P<0.05). Conclusion In HepG2 apoptosis XTP4 has inhibitory effect, and its effect on inhibiting HepG2 apoptosis may be achieved by regulating the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, and the P53 protein may be involved.

Objective: To investigate the change in expression of anti-senescence marker protein calmodulin (RGN) in liver tissues of rats with immune hepatic fibrosis, and to observe the effect of compound glutathione inosine injection (CGII) on it. Methods: Rat liver fibrosis model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of porcine serum, and CGII intervention was administered at the appropriate time. Rat liver tissues were stained with HE and Masson. RGN and protein expression at mRNA in liver tissues was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. One-way Anova was used for measurement data. LDS test was used for two-way comparison, and pathological semi-quantitative results were analyzed by rank-sum test. Results: The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in liver tissue of fibrotic rats was 82.23 ± 15.21 and 12.52 ± 3.23, respectively, which were significantly lower than that of normal rats 176.39 ± 11.35 and 59.23 ± 9.13 (P < 0.01). The degree of liver fibrosis in fibrotic rats after CGII intervention was significantly lower than fibrotic rats. The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in the intervention group was 168.78 ± 21.31 and 46.42 ± 4.71, respectively, which were significantly higher than fibrosis and spontaneous recovery group. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). The relative expression of RGN mRNA and protein in the spontaneous recovery group was 86.23 ± 17.16 and 14.34 ± 5.16, which was higher than model group. The difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Conclusion The expression of RGN in liver tissue of rats with hepatic fibrosis induced by porcine serum is decreased, while the expression of RGN increases with the decrease of fibrosis after CGII intervention, suggesting that the protein may play an important role in the development of liver fibrosis.
