Objective To investigate the mechanism of preconditioned neuroprotection of cerebellar fastigial nucleus electrical stimulation(FNS) by means of observation of the effect of FNS on the expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia in rats. Methods FNS models in rats were established. Brain tissue containing the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia was removed at 0 h and 1, 3, 7 and 10 d respectively after FNS and 20 ?m coronal sections were obtained with a sliding cryo microtome. Immunocytochemical analysis of PKC? and PKC? in 2 sections from each rat was performed and the average optical density of immunostaining was quantified by computer assisted image analysis system. Sham stimulation rats and cerebral dentate nucleus (DN) stimulation rats were used as the control. Results At 0 h after FNS, no significant changes of the expressions of PKC? and PKC? were found in the contralateral somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia. The expressions of PKC? and PKC? increased significantly at 1 d and decreased at 3 d but were still higher than those in sham stimulation group at 7 d and decreased to the basal level of the control at 10 d. However, the expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the ipsilateral somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia were also elevated at 1 d after FNS but the increase was significantly lower than that in the contralateral ones and reached the basal level at 3 d. There was no change of PKC? and PKC? in sham stimulation group at 1 d after DN stimulation. Conclusion The increased expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia induced by FNS may participate in the preconditioned neuroprotection of FNS.

Objective To investigate the change of plasma cholinesterases (CHEs) in the people with diabetes or fatty liver or overweight , and explore the role of CHE in these diseases .Methods The plasma CHEs in 2834 subjects were detected , and these subjects were divided into five groups , including diabetes , fatty liver , overweight , diabetes with fatty liver , and the normal groups . Results The plasma CHE activities in diabetes group , fatty liver group , overweight group , and diabetes with fatty liver group were all higher than the normal group [(8943 ±1896)U/L, (9716 ±1673)U/L, (8798 ±1710)U/L, (9385 ±1687)U/L vs (8028 ±1621) U/L], and the CHE level in the fatty liver group was highest among five groups .However, the CHE level in diabetes group or fatty liv-er group was not significantly different from that in the diabetes with fatty liver group .The CHE level of the people with components of metabolic syndrome (MS) was significantly higher than that without MS component [(8786 ±1514)U/L, (9141 ±1771)U/L, (9705 ±1628)U/L, (9138 ±1768)U/L, (9530 ±1607)U/L vs (7821 ±1324)U/L]),but the CHE level was not increased gradually with the increased MS component.The plasma CHE had a negative correlation with age ( P =0.00),but it had a positive correlation with triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and body mass index (BMI)( P =0.00).Conclusions The plasma CHE activity was el-evated in diabetes group , fatty liver group , and overweight group , which might be a risk factor in these diseases .Controlling the plas-ma CHE might help to treat the metabolism diseases .

Objective To summarize the causes of abdominal pain in the early postoperative period after laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC), so as to employ preventative measures. Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with early postoperative abdomial pain after LC were analyzed retrospectively and the literature was reviewed . Nine cases underwent reoperation, and conservative treatment was successfully performed in the other 26 cases. Results Traumatic factors were involved in 8 cases, including 6 cases of postoperative biliary fistula , and 2 cases with calculus retained in the trocar hole of the abdominal wall. 27 cases had no traumatic factor and included 2 cases of ascariasis of common bile duct, 5 cases with calculus of common bile duct, 1 case of acute pancreatitis, 17 cases of bile duct dysfunction, 1 case of duodenal ulcer and 1 case of stomach cancer. All were cured. Conclusions The key to decrease complications after LC is a complete examination before LC and pay attention to each aspect of perioperative management.

It is generally believed that liposomes modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) have no or lower immunogenicity. However, based on many recent literatures, when the PEGylated liposomes were repeatedly applied to the same animal, the immune responses occurred. The first injection of PEGylated liposomes resulted in a reduction in the circulation time and an increase in hepatic and splenic accumulation of the second dose of PEGylated liposomes in a time-interval, which was called "accelerated blood clearance (ABC)" phenomenon. Such immunogenicity of PEGylated liposomes presents a barrier in the research of liposomal formulations and their use in the clinics. This review focused on the definition, the method of verification, the development of the reason for ABC phenomenon, influencing factors of ABC phenomenon, and discussed if other PEGylated nanocarriers also induce ABC phenomenon.

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is an important cellular transcription factor. The important role of NF-κB-mediated cell signal transduction pathway in apoptosis is a hot topic at home and abroad. In order to discover new regulators in NF-κB signaling pathway, a high-throughput cell-based screening model based on dual luciferase reporters system was established, a number of genes that can activate NF-κB signal pathway were obtained by screening of 439 novel function genes. Among them, TMEM9B can obviously activate NF-κB signaling pathway. Further experiments showed that TMEM9B activated NF-κB signaling pathway in a dose-dependent pattern. Western blotting and EMSA experiments confirmed that TMEM9B can promote the degradation of IκBα (a cytoplasm inhibitor of NF-κB), and cause NF-κB shift from the cytoplasm to nucleus. At the same time, flow cytometry result demonstrated TMEM9B can induce apoptosis in HEK293T and HeLa cells. In short, a stable and effective screening system for NF-κB has been established, through which TMEM9B was identified to be able to significantly activate NF-κB signal transduction pathway and thus cause cells apoptosis.
