Journal of Kunming Medical University 2013;(9):46-50
Objective To study the changes of SUR1-regulated NCCa-ATP channels in core area during focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats, and to explore the therapeutic window of focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Adult male Wistar rats were rendered to undergo 120 minutes of the left middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) by the intraluminal thread technique before reperfusion. The core area of the left hemisphere cortex ischemia/reperfusion at different times (reperfusion:R3 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 h) was taken to be tested the level of mRNA and protein expression of sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) using RT-PCR and Western-blot techniques. SUR1 of the ischemic brain microvascular endothelial cells were observed by immunofluorescence double staining at the peak expressing time point of SUR1. Results We found the up-regulation of SUR1 mRNA and SUR1 protein in ischemic infarcts tissues for R3 h, 6 h, 8 h and 12 h, peaked at R8 h, compared with the sham-operation group ( <0.05) . However, SUR1 expression increased was observed at R12 h by double immunofluorescence in microvascular endothelium. Conclusion SUR1-regulated NCCa-ATP channel may take part in cerebral ischemic damage during focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. The expressions of SUR1 mRNA and SUR1 protein were up-regulated in ischemic infarcts tissues. The data suggested that the best time to apply SUR1 inhibitor is within 8-12 hours after ischemia and reperfusion.

Objective To observe the influence of hepatic oval cell (HOC) on the expression ERK and P38MAPK signaling pathway protein in liver tissue of murine experimental hepatofibrosis (HF).Method SD rats were fed with 10% ethanol and food with high-fat and low-protein, and were injected subcutaneously with carbontetrachloride once every four days for 8 weeks to establish hepatic fibrosis. HOGs were isolated from male HF rats by collagenase porfusion of the liver. HF rats at 8th week were transplanted with 0. 5 ml HOC suspension medium at a density of 1 × 109 cell /ml via portal vein, and the rats were sacrificed at 8th, 15th, 30th day respectively. Histopathologic changes of liver tissues were observed by HE and Masson. The expression of ERK and P38MAPK signaling pathway protein were determined by Western blotting. Result Hepatofibrosis was reversed and the degree of hyperplasia fibrilcollagen in hepatic fibrosis rats decreased significantly by HOC transplantion. HOC down-regulated the protein expression of Ras, ERK,p-ERK, c-fos, c-jun, STAT3, ALB, FGF-3, PCNA ( F = 91.88,36.28,54.66,93.07,64.76,58.49,52.63,20.45 ,27.03, all P < 0.05 ), up-regulated the protein expression level of HNF-α1, PDGF-Rβ significantly in liver tissues(F = 18.63,25.99,P <0.05). Conclusions HOC improves the degree of hepatofibrosis through inhibiting hyperplasia of collagen fibril in liver tissue of hepatofibrosis rats. With the presence of HOC the expression of c-fos,c-jun,STAT3,5 was not activated by p-P38MAPK. The expression of c-kit and HNF-1α increased and that liver tissue injury alleviated, and hepatofibrosis was improved.

BACKGROUND: Naloxone has a significant arousal effect on many types of comas. It is usually believed that this is because its inhibition on endogenous opioid peptides. But depth of coma is not necessarily positively correlated to endorphin (EP).OBJECTIVE: Based on existing findings on direct stimulating effect of naloxone on cerebral cortex, further studies need to be done to explore whether it is dose-dependent or not.DESIGN: Single-factor design based on cells.SETTING: Neurology department in a university hospital and the neurology department in a hospital of a military medical university of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This study was completed in the Laboratory Center of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Thirty healthy new born Wistar rats, regardless of their gender, aging 8 - 12 days and weighing 150 -250 g, were selected.METHODS: The experiment was performed at room temperature. The perfusion slot were placed on the microscope stage, and cells with smooth surfaces, triangle or pyramidal shapes, strong refraction and more than one neurites were selected for patch clamp experiment. Patch clamp whole-cell recording technique was used to measure the pyramidal cells of the frontal lobe immediately after separated from the Wistar rats, and to investigate the fluctuations of their membrane potential of cerebral cortex neurons and the frequencies of their spontaneous electric activities after administration of naloxone at different doses.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The neural excitatory reaction rate, depolarization amplitude and increasing rate of spontaneous electric activities after administration of different doses of naloxone were selected as main outcome measurements.RESULTS: The excitatory reaction rates of cerebral cortex neurons immediately after separation to doses of naloxone(100, 50, 10, 1, 0. 1 μmol/L)were 83%, 67%, 86%, 71% and 33%; while the depolarization amplitude of them were 9. 8, 9.6, 8.4, 5.2 and 1. 3 mV respectively; and the corresponding spontaneous electric activity were increased by 587% , 375% ,291%, 125% and 69%.CONCLUSION: Naloxone can induce excitatory reactions in cerebral cortex neurons directly, and the reactions have proved to be dose-dependent.

OBJECTIVETo standardize the experimental procedure of the gene test for autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias (ADCA), and provide the basis for quantitative criteria of the dynamic mutation of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) genes in Chinese population.
METHODSGenotyping of the dynamic mutation loci of the SCA1, SCA2, SCA3, SCA6 and SCA7 genes was performed, using florescence PCR-capillary electrophoresis followed by DNA sequencing, to investigate the variation range of copy number of CAG tandem repeat of the genes in 263 probands of ADCA pedigrees and 261 non-related normal controls. Based on the sequencing result, the bias of the CAG copy number estimation using capillary electrophoresis with different DNA controls was compared to analyze the technical detailes of the electrophresis method in testing the dynamic mutation sites.
RESULTSPCR products containing dynamic mutation loci of the SCA genes showed significantly higher mobility than that of molecular weigh marker with relatively balanced GC content. This was particularly obvious in the SCA2, SCA 6 and SCA7 genes whereas the deviation of copy number could be corrected to +/-1 when known CAG copy number fragments were used as controls. The mobility of PCR products was primarily related to the copy number of CAG repeat when the fragments contained normal CAG repeat. In the 263 ADCA pedigrees, 6 (2.28%) carried SCA1 gene mutation, 8 (3.04%) had SCA2 mutation and 81 (30.80%) harbored SCA3 mutation. The gene mutation of SCA6 and SCA7 was not found. The normal variation range of the CAG repeat was 17-36 copies in SCA1 gene, 13-30 copies in SCA2, 14-39 copies in SCA3, 6-16 copies in SCA6 and 6-13 copies in SCA7. The heterozygosity was 76.1%, 17.7%, 74.4%, 72.1% and 41.3%, respectively. The mutation range of the CAG repeat was 49-56 copies in SCA1 gene, 36-41 copies in SCA2, 59-81 copies in SCA3. Neither homozygous mutation of an SCA gene nor double heterozygous mutation of the SCA genes was observed in the study.
CONCLUSIONThe copy number of the CAG repeat in SCA genes could be calculated accurately based on the result of florescence PCR-capillary electrophoresis when limited amount of known repeat copy number controls were used. Our result supported that the notion that SCA3 gene mutation was the most common cause for ADCA, and the obtained data would be helpful for establishing quantitative criteria of the dynamic mutation of the SCA genes in Chinese.

Objective: To investigate the ethical decision-making process of breaking confidentiality when counselors dealing with self-inflicted injury and suicide issues in college situation. Methods: A semi-structural interview was addressed to 10 counselors from 7 college counseling centers in Beijing, among whom with (10 ± 8) years of experience on average in this field. Content analysis method was used to transcription of the interviewing data. Results: Totally 8 counselors had received ethical training more or less, and attached great importance to ethical codes. There were still some conflicts between school regulations and confidentiality rules in 7 university counseling centers. Different counselors varied greatly in decision-making on breaking confidentiality when facing college students' self-inflicted injury and suicide. Faced with conflicts between college demands and confidentiality principles, counselors could take the professional standpoint and consider more of the interests of students. Conclusion: The decision-making process on self-inflicted injury and suicide confidentiality breakthrough needs to be standardized. College's attention and support to the counseling work should be strengthen and enhance ethical awareness.

Objective:To analyze the prognosis of glucose metabolism and its impacting factors at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, a total of 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy enrolled and delivered in the maternity clinic of Daxing Teaching Hospital of Capital Medical University from December 1, 2019 to December 31, 2020 were collected. The 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was applied for diabetes screening at 6-12 weeks after delivery. According to the results of postpartum blood glucose, the patients were divided into two groups: postpartum normal blood glucose group (148 cases) and abnormal blood glucose group (44 cases). Hypothesis testing was used to compare the clinical data before, during and after the pregnancy between the two groups. Multi-factor logistic regression was performed to analyze the influencing factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy.Results:Among the 192 patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy, the incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose was 22.92% (44/192), including 6 cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) (13.64%), 38 cases of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (86.36%). Neck circumference, waist circumference, multiparous women and insulin use during pregnancy in postpartum abnormal blood glucose group were all significantly higher than those in postpartum normal blood glucose group [34.25(33.00, 36.00) vs 33.55 (32.00, 35.00) cm, 87.00 (82.00, 93.00) vs 84.00 (78.00, 90.00) cm, 54.55% vs 37.16%, 18.18% vs 6.76%] (all P<0.05). Neck circumference ( OR=1.315, 95% CI: 1.026-1.685), multiparous women ( OR=2.261, 95% CI: 1.057-4.836), insulin use during pregnancy ( OR=3.767, 95% CI: 1.236-11.478) were positively correlated with the occurrence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of postpartum abnormal blood glucose is high at 6-12 weeks postpartum in patients with abnormal blood glucose during pregnancy. Neck circumference, waist circumference, parity and insulin use during pregnancy are important impacting factors of postpartum abnormal blood glucose.
