Objective To investigate the changes of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in rat brain after subarachnoid hemorhage (SAH) and its relation to cerebral edema and vasospasm.Methods Subarachnoid hemorrhage rat model was produced by anterior cerebral artery perforation method.The brain water content was measured by dry-wet weight method.Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to assess vasospasm in the basilar artery,and the expression of IL-1β after SAH was examined by Western blot.Results After SAH,the cerebral edema gradually occured from 1 d,reached the peak at 7d.The level of IL-1β protein started to increase in 1 d,reached its peak in 7d,and remained at a relative high level in 14d.There's correlation between the level of IL-1β protein and changes of cerebral edema.Conclusion After SAH,The level of IL-1β gradually rised and fits remarkably well with the time course of cerebral edema,which may indicate that IL-1β leads to the development of cerebral edema after SAH.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship among 25-hydroxyvitamin D,serum calcium,calcium-sensing receptor,and breast cancer. Methods The expressions of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in primary breast cancer,breast benign tumors,and normal breast tissue beside tumors were determined by immunohistochemistry S-P method as well as the concentration of serum 25 (OH) D and serum calcium in breast cancer and breast benign tumors by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),Tribromoarsenazo Ⅲ method.ResultsSerum 25 (OH) D level of breast cancer was significantly lower than the breast benign tumors [ (34.13 ± 14.14) nmol/L vs (50.29 ± 25.65 ) nmol/L,t =2.870,P =0.001 ].Serum level of 25 ( OH ) D in lymph node metastasis positive patient was lower than that in negative group [ (30.8 ± 9.71 ) nmol/L vs (43.7 ± 23.59) nmol/L,t =2.467,P =0.021 ].The positive expression of CaSR in breast cancer(88.9％ )was higher than breast benign tumors(60％,x2 =6.717,P ＜ 0.01 ) and normal breast tissue beside tumors (60％,x2 =5.628,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionsConcentration of serum 25 (OH)D and expression of calcium-sensing receptor in the tissues may be associated with occurrence,development and prognosis of breast cancer.
