Objective: To determine the role of cross-talk between calcineurin-dependent signal transduction pathway and protein kinase C (PKC), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and protein kinase A (PKA) in airway remodeling in asthma. Methods: Male guinea pigs were sensitized with intraperitoneal injections of ovabumin (OVA), then treated with cyclosporin A (CsA,5 mg/kg), an inhibitor of calcineurin, then inhaled OVA for 2 weeks 14 days later. Activities of calcineurin, PKC, MAPK, and PKA were was analyzed by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. In primary cultures of rat airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC), activities of calcineurin, PKC, MAPK, and cross-talk induced by urotensin Ⅱ (UⅡ), a recently identified strong mitogen, were measured. Results: (1) The activities of calcineurin, MAPK and PKC increased by 19% (P0.05). (4) CsA 10 -6 mol/L inhibited UⅡ-stimulated PKC activity by 14% (P0.05). Conclusion:The signal transduction pathways between calcineurin and other protein kinases such as PKC, MAPK and PKA have cross-talk in airway remodeling in asthma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between FA value,ADC value and limb muscle strength score measured by magnetic resonance imaging in patients with ischemic stroke,aims to to analyze the clinical value of magnetic resonance imaging in limb muscle strength.Methods Twenty patients with acute cerebral infarction and treated from June 2015 to Junly 2016 were recruited from This hospital,and the simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function score was observed for all patients within 3 days.Tensor imaging examination was conducted to observe the distribution of nerve fiber bundles,FA value,ADC value changes.Results The FA value and ADC value of the infarct side were significantly different from those of the contralateral side(t=8.70,t=-18.70,P＜0.05);There were significant differences in FA value and ADC value between the infarcted ventricle hind limbs and the contralateral side of the infarcted ventricle(t=-5.16,t=-5.08,P＜0.05).The FA value of the infarcted ventral hind limbs had positive correlation with the simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function score(R=0.863,P=0.013).Conclusion FA value and ADC value of acute infarct and internal hindlimb are lower than FA value and ADC value of contralateral normal white matter.The FA value of internal capsule hind limbs is closely related to the simplified Fugl-Meyer motor function score.
