Objective To evaluate the expression of the GLUT-1 glucose transporter in borderline and malignant epithelial neoplasms of the ovary. Methods Histologic sections of tumor tissues from 100 epithelial neoplasms of the ovary were stained for GLUT-1 using polyclonal GLUT-1 antibody and the labeled streptavidin procedure. Chi-square analysis was used to assess if their expression was associated with clinicopathoiogic characteristics of the tumors. Results Normal ovarian surface epithelial cell were either negative or weakly positive. The intensity of the stain was significantly stronger in malignant than borderline tumors (P<0.001). In malignant neoplasms, the intensity of the stain for GLUT-1 increased with histology. Conclusion Overexpression of the GLUT-1 transporter is associated with the histology and grade of the minors. These data suggest that the expression of this transporter may be closely related to the malignant transformation of epithelial ovarian tumors.

Objective To observe the effects on rabbit corneas and retinas after single intravitreal injection of voriconazole at different doses.Methods According to the randomization table,25 healthy rabbits were randomly divided into control group,and voriconazole 50,100,200,and 400 μg groups.Therefore,there were 5 rabbits in each group.The eyes of control group received intravitreal injection of 0.1 ml balanced saline solution,and those treatment groups received 0.1 ml voriconazole injection of corresponding dose.Before the injection and 1,7,and 14 days after the injection,endothelial cell counts and corneal thicknesses were measured;full-field electroretinogram were performed and b-wave amplitudes in maximal combined reaction (Max-R) were recorded.On 14 days after the injection,histologic structures were observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results There was no significant difference in endothelial cell counts (F=0.320,0.291,0.467,0.649) and corneal thicknesses (F=0.214,0.284,0.360,0.225) with those of control group at any time points (P＞0.05).Before and 1 day after the injection,b-wave amplitudes of each voriconazole group had no significant difference compared with those of control group (F=0.220,0.106;P＞0.05).On 7 days after the injection,b-wave amplitudes decreased significantly at doses of 200 μg and 400 μg (P＜0.05).On 14 days after the injection,there was no significant difference between the the amplitude of 200 μg group and that of control group (P＞ 0.05).However,the amplitude of the 400 μg group decreased continuously and there was still significant difference (P＜0.05).Light microscopy did not reveal any corneal abnormality in both control group and voriconazole groups.The retinas were normal except that of the 400 μg group,which had a thinner and degenerated inner nuclear layer and disordered photoreceptor layer.Under transmission electron microscope,there were no ultrastructure damages of corneas in both control group and voriconazole groups,either.The rabbit retinas of the 50 μg and 200 μg group have normal inner nuclear layer and photoreceptor layer,but degrees of changes in both layers were observed in the eyes of 200 μg and 400 μg group.Conclusions There is no obvious effects on rabbit corneas and retinas after single intravitreal injection of voriconazole at he dose less than or equal 100 μg.There are no obvious effects on rabbit corneas at the dose of 200 μg and 400 μg,while there are damages to the retinas in both functions and histological structures.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of P38 signaling pathway in neonatal rat astrocyte swelling and the expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) after oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and recovery (OGD/R).

METHODSPrimarily cultured neonatal rat astrocytes were subject to OGD for 5 h followed by oxygen-glucose recovery in the presence or absence of the P38 inhibitor SB203580 (10 µmol/L). The astrocytes were investigated at 0.5, 2, 8 and 24 h after oxygen-glucose recovery for morphological changes and cell injuries using lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The expressions of P38, P-P38, and AQP4 mRNAs and proteins in the astrocytes were detected using RT-PCR and Western blotting.

RESULTSOGD/R caused significantly enhanced expression of P-P38 protein, and this effect was blocked by SB203580. AQP4 mRNA and protein expression declined transiently at 0.5 h after OGD and increased gradually to reach the peak level at 8 h (P<0.05). Application of the SB203580 significantly lowered OGD-induced AQP4 mRNA and protein up-regulation (P<0.05). Astrocyte swelling occurred after OGD/R but was obviously lessened by SB203580. LDH release increased markedly after OGD/R, and was attenuated by treatment with SB203580 (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONP38 signaling pathway participates in astrocyte swelling after OGD/R, and blocking this pathway can attenuate AQP4 up-regulation and ameliorate the cell swelling.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of p38 signal pathway in regulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expression and brain edema formation in a rat model of traumatic brain injury (TBI).

METHODSA total of 130 adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely the normal group (n=10), sham-operated group (n=40), TBI (induced by Feeney free falling methods) group (n=40), and SB group with intraperitoneal SB203580 treatment (10 µmol/L) 15 min before TBI (n=40). The rats were sacrificed 2 h and 2 days after TBI. The expressions of p38, p-p38, and MMP-9 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The blood brain barrier permeability was detected by Evans Blue (EB) test, and the brain water content (BWC) was determined using a gravimetric technique.

RESULTSThe expression of p-p38 protein increased markedly 2 h after TBI (P<0.05), and was suppressed by SB203580 treatment (P<0.05). MMP-9 mRNA and protein showed no obvious increase at 2 h after TBI, but significantly increased at 2 days as compared with those in the sham-operated group (P<0.05). MMP-9 mRNA and protein were much lower in SB group than in TBI group 2 days after TBI (P<0.05). The blood brain barrier permeability significantly increased 2 h after TBI (P<0.05) and kept increasing until 2 days (P<0.05), but was reduced significantly by SB203580 (P<0.05). BWC increased obviously 2 days after TBI (P<0.05) and was lessened by SB203580 (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONBlocking p38 signal pathway can attenuate MMP-9 upregulation and brain edema after TBI, suggesting the important role of p38 in regulating MMP-9 expression to affect traumatic brain edema.
