Objective To determine if propofol can protect cultured rat hippocampal neurons from anoxia-induced injury and elucidate the underlying mechanism.Methods Neonatal Wistar rats were decapitated. Hippocampus was isolated, minced and digested with 0.125 % trypsin at 371 for 25 min, then centrifuged at 1000 r/min for 5 min. The supernatant was discartled and the precipitate was resuspended in growth medium. The cell suspension was incubated at 37 ℃ for 10 days. The cultured hippocampal neurons were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group(group C) ,anoxia group(group A), propofol + anoxia group (group PA) . Group PA was further divided into 3 subgroups of different end-propofol concentrations:3, 12,48 mg?L-1 . The cultured neurons were transferred to low glucose medium and incubated at 37 ℃ in closed incubator filled with anoxic atmosphere (95% N2-5% CO2) for 24 h in group A and group PA (following addition of propofol) . The cell survival rate in each group was measured by MIT colorimetry. The real-time changes in [Ca2+ ]i in cultured hippocampal neurons induced by anoxia or glutamate or KCL were measured by fluorescence and laser scan confocal microscopy ( LSCM) after staining with fluo-3/AM.Results The hippocampal neurons developed acute swelling and widespread degeneration following anoxia. Propofol attenuated the neuronal injury at 12 and 48 mg?L-1 in a dose-dependent manner and significantly increased the cell survival rate following anoxia (P

AIM To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of propofol on cultured rat hippocampal neurons subjected to anoxia injury METHODS Hippocampal neurons of neonatal rats, which had been cultured in vitro for 10 days, were allocated to control groups and propofol treating groups In propofol treated groups,the culture medium were loaded with propofol at the concentrations of 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 mg?L -1 respectively, and then the neurons were exposed to oxygen glucose deprivation for 24 h, to 40 ?mol?L -1 H 2O 2 for 24 h or to 100 ?mol?L -1 glutamate for 50 min The cell survival rate in each group was evaluated by MTT colorimetry. Using a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), the effects of propofol on neuronal calcium overload and on the reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (△?m) evoked by anoxia were observed with fluo 3 and rhodamine 123 for real time changes of [Ca 2+ ] i and △?m. The electron spin resonance (ESR) was used to measure the scavenging effects of propofol on hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion RESULTS Propofol at the concentrations of 6～48 mg?L -1 attenuated the anoxic injury ( P

A total of 152 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the barks of Eucommia ulmoides in three regions (Lueyang country, Zunyi country, Cili country). Based on morphological characteristics and analysis of ITS sequences, these strains were identified into 8 genera. Thereinto Phomopsis, Diaporthe and Alternaria were common genera to Eucommia barks from different sites. But the dominant genus was different: Alternaria was the dominant genus in the barks from Cili country, and Phomopsis was the dominant genus from Zunyi country, then Diaporthe was the one from Lueyang country. According to the similarity coefficient, the composition of the endophytic fungi was distinctly different between the barks from three sites. The diversity and species richness in Lueyang country and Cili country were found higher than those in Zunyi country. The evenness of endophytic fungi was 0.936 5 in Lueyang county, which was higher than 0.737 1 or 0.641 0 in Cili county or Zunyi county, respectively. After phylogenic analysis and calculating the genetic distances of typical strains belong to Phomopsis and its perfect stage--Diaporthe, there was very high genetic diversity in the two genera from our study. In conclusion, the community structure and diversity of endophytic fungi were significant different in Eucommia barks from the three habitats.

Objective To investigate the incidence of electrocoagulation syndrome after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LST) and the risk factors. Methods Data of 51 patients with coloretral LST,treated with ESD from January 2010 to May 2014 at Shengjing hospital affiliated to China Medical University,were reviewed.The incidence of electrocoagulation syndrome was analyzed and logistic regression was used to evaluate risk.Results The incidence of electro-coagulation syndrome was 9.8%(5 /51).The incidence of tumors in the rectal area(7.1%,2 /28)was lower than that of the left half colon (12.5%,1 /8),and the right colon (13.3%,2 /15).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the development of electrocoagulation syndrome were LST located in non-rectum area (OR =1.655,P <1.655),lesion size larger than 25 mm (OR =1.028, P <0.05),the operation time longer than 129 min (OR =1.016,P <0.05),age older than 62 year old (OR =0.987,P <0.05).Conclusion For the patients aged over 62 year old,lesion size larger than 25 mm,the operation time longer than 129 min and LST located outside the rectum,the mucous membrane should be separated from the muscularis propria in the ESD procedure to reduce electrocoagulation time as much as possible. In the postoperative period,patients need fasting,fluid replacement support,and prevention of post endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome (PEECS).

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Hepatic fibrosis in rat induced by thioacet amide shares similar morphological and biochemical characteristics with human liver cirrhosis. Thioacetamide (T AA) initially induces accumulation of collagen in Disse space and eventually leads to macro- and micronodular cirrhos is. Ito cell was believed to play a main role in hepatic fibrosis. And it s activity was known to be regulated by the expression of various genes. But little has been discovered about the upstream signal trans duction pathway of these genes in hepatic fibrosis. The expression of genesrelated to Ito cell activity was regulated by many transcription factors , the activity of which was regulated by protein kinase C( PKC) is oforms. So it is s upposed that PKC could be as s ociated with fibrosis in liver. METHODS: We investigated the correlation of PKC is oforms and It ocell activity in the course of hepatic fibrosis using TAA induced rat liver cirrhosis model. We used six week- old male rats , and administered 0.03% TAA in drinking water. The animals were sacrificed at 9, 20, and 30 weeks after TAA administration. The degree of hepatic fibrosis was evaluated by measuring the total amount of collagen.-SMA immunohist ochemical st aining of liver tissue was done to determine the Ito cell activity. The expression pattern of PKC isoforms was investigated by West ern blotting. RESULTS: In TAA- treated group, collagen cont ent and Ito cell activity did not increase until 30 weeks and 20 weeks of treatment , respectively, while in control group collagen cont ent and Ito cell activity were not detected. Collagen content showed linear correlation with Ito cell activity. This implied that the proliferation of activated Ito cells was prior to the increase of collagen content. In view of expression pattern of PKC is oforms, PKC alpha showed no difference in TAA- treated group and control group. In TAA-treated group, PKCbeta1 exhibited increased level of expression in both particulate and cytosolic forms at 9 weeks, while PKCdelta and PKC epsilon showed striking shift to particulated form. After 20 weeks, all of the PKC beta1, delta, and epsilon degenerated and showed remarkably decreased level of expression. This suggested PKC alpha had no relation to hepatic fibrosis,while PKC beta1, delta, and epsilon, showing activity at 9 weeks, were related to fibrosis og liver. In response to fibrogenic factors, molecules engaged in intracellular signal transduction pathway like PKC beta1, delta, and epsilon, began to change prior to the increase of Ito cell activity, morphologic changes and alterations of collagen content. CONCLUSION: Our results strongly suggest that the activity of PKC isoforms play an important role in early step of hepatic fibrosis, while accompanying Ito cell activity do in later step.
