BACKGROUND: Microglia play an important role in immune surveillance in their quiescent state, but the role of the activated microglia is under discussion. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the mechanism of activated microglia in acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: Totally 96 male Kunming mice were selected and randomly divided into four groups, including transplantation, placebo, blank control and sham operation groups. Permanent occlusion of the middle cerebral artery was performed using suture method in the mice of the transplantation, placebo and blank control groups, followed by injection of microglia suspension via subclavian vein, medium containing the same volume of microglia, and nothing, respectively, at 12 hours after modeling. In the meanwhile, the same amount of microglia suspension was injected into the mice of the sham operation group. The Zea-longa scale and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression at 12, 24 and 72 hours after modeling, the volume of cerebral infarction and the number of nerve cells positive for microtubule-associated protein-2 at 72 hours after modeling were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Zea-longa scale score was 0 point in the sham operation group, which was significantly lower than that in the other three groups at each time point after modeling (P < 0.01). The Zea-longa scores in the transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the placebo and blank control groups at 24 and 72 hours after transplantation (P < 0.01). The positive expression rate of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups after transplantation (P < 0.01). The sham group showed no infarction, while the size of cerebral infarction in the transplantation group was significantly lower than that in the placebo and blank control groups (P < 0.01), and the microtubule-associated protein-2 positive rate was significantly higher than that in the placebo and blank control groups (P < 0.01). These results manifest that the activated microglia can improve the survival rate of nerve cells, promote the recovery of cerebral nerve function and reduce the size of cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the level of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in stable schizophrenia patients, and to explore the relationship between serum VEGF level and clinical symptoms. Methods Seventy-five patients with stable schizophrenia and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. The levels of serum VEGF were detected by flow multiplex protein analysis. The clinical symptoms of patients were assessed by positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS). Results The level of serum VEGF was significantly lower in patients group than in healthy control group [medians (lower and upper quartiles) were 3.77 (2.61, 5.14) pg/mL vs. 6.21 (4.37, 11.16) pg/mL, P<0.01]. There was no significant difference in serum VEGF levels between patients with different gender, smoking or family history of mental illness (P>0.05). The level of VEGF was negatively correlated with the total score of PANSS (r=-0.27, P=0.03), negative symptom subscale score (r=-0.25, P=0.04), lack of response score (r=-0.26, P=0.02), but not with other PANSS scores (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum level of VEGF in patients with stable schizophrenia is lower than that in healthy control group. There is, to some degree, a relationship between the level of VEGF and the severity of clinical symptoms in patients with stable schizophrenia.

Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2005;21(6):988-992
Biological synthesis of L-Ascorbyl Palmitate in organic system were studied in this text. The contradiction between conversion of vitamin C and concentration of L-Ascorbyl Palmitate were resolved. High conversion of vitamin C and concentration of L-Ascorbyl Palmitate were obtained by Novo435. A series of solvents(log P from -0.24 to 3.5 )were investigated for the reaction,and acetone was found to be the most suitable from the standpoint of the enzyme activity and solubility of L-ascorbic. And the equilibrium of the reaction was affected by the addition of the molecular sieves and temperature. Reaction carried out at 60 degrees C and with 20% 0.4nm molecular sieves is good for the enzyme to keep its activity and for making the equilibrium go to the product. With 1.094 g palmitic acid, 0.107 g vitamin C and 0.020 g Novo435, rotate rate of 200 r/min, the conversion of ascorbic reached 80% and the concentration of L-ascorbyl palmitate is 20 g/L after 48 h. Furthermore, reaction batch of Novo435 and substrates recycle were observed, the result indicated that Novo435 may used 4-5 times continuously with high conversion. And 6-O-unsaturated acyl L-ascorbates were synthesized through Novo435 condensation of ascorbic acid and various unsaturated fatty acids with high conversion in this text.
