Objective To explore the expression levels of microRNA(miR)-34a in hippocampus of temporal lobe epilepsy rats and the effect of miR-34a on its target signaling pathway Notch1.Methods Rats were divided randomly into experiment group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by adopting random number table method.The status epilepticus model and the temporal lobe epilepsy model were induced by using lithium-pilocarpine for experiment group.The control group rats received an injection of an equal amount of 9 g/L saline as instead of pilocarpine.Racine grading was performed at 24 hours,day 3,day 7,day 15,and 1 month after modeling to evaluate the behavior.Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to test the mRNA expressions of miR-34a and Notch1.Western blot was performed to explore the protein expression of Notch1.Results The expression levels of miR-34a at post-status epilepticus in 24 hours,day 3,day 7,day 15 were 2.55±0.29,2.11±0.17,1.68±0.49 and 1.84±0.42,respectively,which showed statistically significant difference compared with the control group (1.00±0.00) (t=-1.55,-1.11,-0.68,-0.84,all P<0.05).The expression levels of Notch1 mRNA at post-status epilepticus in 24 hours,day 3,day 7,day 15,1 month were 1.44±0.31,1.27±0.13,1.52±0.28,0.91±0.33,and 0.80±0.09 respectively.There were significant differences at 24 hours,day 7 in Notch1 mRNA expression (t=-0.44,-0.52,all P<0.05) compared with the control group(1.00±0.00).The expression level of Notch1 mRNA on day 15 was significantly lower than 24 hours and day 7 (t=-0.54,-0.62,all P<0.05),and the expression in 1 month was significantly lower than in 24 hours,or day 3 and day 7 (t=-0.64,-0.46,-0.72,all P<0.05).The expression levels of Notch1 protein at post-status epilepticus 24 hours,day 3,day 7,day 15,1 month were 0.78±0.09,0.57±0.13,0.55±0.16,0.42±0.13,and 0.33±0.09,respectively.There was significantly up-regulated at 24 hours of Notch1 protein expression compared with control group (0.51±0.15)(t=-0.20,P<0.05);and the expression level at day 15 were significantly lower than 24 hours (t=-0.26,P<0.05),while the expression in 1 month was significantly lower than in 24 hours and on day 3 (t=-0.36,-0.24,all P<0.05).Conclusion miR-34a is significantly up-regulated in the post-status epilepticus rat hippocampus,and it may contribute to temporal lobe epilepsy by activating Notch1 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects ofYushen Zhuyun Prescription on ovarian morphology and sex hormone of rats with decreased ovarian reservation (DOR) induced by tripterygium glycosides; To explore its mechanism of action.Methods Tripterygium glycosides solution was used to establish DOR model rats by gastric gavage. 48 female SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, positive medicine group andYushen Zhuyun Prescription low-, medium- and high-dose groups.Yushen ZhuyunPrescription groups were given the low, medium, high dosagesYushen Zhuyun Prescription liquid; positive medicine group were given estradiol valerate liquid; model group and blank control group were given normal saline with the same amount, by gavage 2 times per day for 14 consecutive days. The general condition of the rats was observed; ovarian was weighed and the viscera index was calculated; ovarian morphology was observed by HE staining; the levels of serum estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone (T) were detected by radioimmunoassay; the levels of inhibin B (INHB) and anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) were detected by ELISA.Results Compared with the blank group, ovarian tissue atrophied; the number of follicles was reduced; ovarian index and the level of E2, INHB and AMH decreased; the levels of FSH and LH increased in the model group (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, ovarian tissue morphology improved significantly; the number of follicle and corpus luteum increased; follicular atresia was reduced; ovarian index and the levels of E2, INHB, and AMH increased; the levels of FSH and LH decreased in Yushen Zhuyun Prescription high-dose group (P<0.01). INHB and AMH had significant correlation (P<0.01). ConclusionYushen Zhuyun Prescription can regulate hormone levels, promote the growth and secretion of follicle, and inhibit follicular atresia, thereby improve ovarian reserve function.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of tobramycin and dexamethasone in Tobra-mycin and dexamethasone eye drop. METHODS:HPLC-column derivatization-double wavelength method was performed on the col-umn of Agilent C18 with mobile phase of 0.25% 3-hydroxymethyl aminomethane-acetonitrile-0.5 mol/L sulfuric acid(40:59:1,V/V/V)at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 365 nm and 220 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,and the volume in-jection was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 18.01-180.09 μg/ml for tobramycin(r=0.999 5)and 6.02-60.24 μg/ml for dexa-methasone(r=0.999 8);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 1%;recoveries were 98.65%-100.01%(RSD=0.47%,n=9)and 98.92%-100.20%(RSD=0.50%,n=9),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,time-sav-ing,specific,reproducible,accurate and reliable,and can be used for the quality control of Tobramycin and dexamethasone eye drop.

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of PD173074 on proliferation and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHOD: With immunoblotting and RT-PCR, FGFR1 expression was detected in CNE, PONE1 and C666-1 cell lines. With MTT assay,the time-effect and dose-effect correlation between PD173074 and inhibition of CNE proliferation was evaluated. After PD173074 stimulation, the phosphorylation level of FGFR1 and AKT was detected with immunoblotting assay. Furthermore, influence of PD173074 on the activation of Caspase3 and Caspase9 was detected to study the underlying mechanism of why PD173074 could inhibit CNE proliferation. RESULT: FGFR1 has the highest expression in CNE cell line. Under incubation of 10 nmol/L PD173074 stimulation for 36 hours to 72 hours, the phosphorylation of FGFR1 and AKT was impaired significantly, which further reduced the proliferation of CNE. Moreover, PD173074 can activate the intrinsic apoptotic pathway by stimulating Caspase9,which activated Caspase3 and induced the apoptosis. CONCLUSION PD173074 could inhibit proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell through reducing the phosphorylation of FGFR1 and AKT. Additionally, PD173074 can induce CNE apoptosis by activating intrinsic apoptotic pathway via cleaving Caspase9 and Caspase3.

Objective To investigate the value of application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal metastases from malignant solid tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted depend on the radiological data of 63 patients who had been diagnosed as leptomeningcal metastasis of malignant solid tumors.Results All patients received brain MRI examination.26 patients underwent cervical or lumbar spine MRI examination.The MRI images showed nodular enhancement in the gyri and sulci,leptomeningeal linear enhancement,dura mater thickening and enhancement,ependymal enhancement,intraventricular metastasis,intraspinal metastatic nodules,communicating hydrocephalus,subdural hydroma and negative imaging.Ncuroimages of ependymal enhancenent,intraventricular metastasis and intraspinal implantation metastasis appeared in 5,7 and 9 patients with small cell carcinoma,respectively,which were higher than that of the other pathological types (P =0.002,P =0.009,P ＜ 0.000 1).Seizure occurred in 7 patients after intrathecal chemotherapy,of which 5 patients had pia mater linear enhancement.Among 33 patients treated with radiotherapy combined with intrathecal chemotherapy,3 patients had poor prognosis,of which 2 patients had negative imaging findings.The conditions of 25 patients were improved obviously after treatment,of which 21 patients showed different imaging remission in MRI re-examination.Conclusions The contrast MRI has an important assistant effect in diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis of malignant solid tumors.The MRI findings and clinical features are related with the pathological types.The pia mater linear enhancement indicates a high possibility of seizures after inthathecal chemotherapy,and it suggests that the preventive treatment should be given for such patients.MRI is not applicable to evaluate severity,prognosis and curative effect of the disease.
