OBJECTIVE:To observe the protective effect of naloxone on ischemical reperfusion injury in rat brain. METHODS: 36 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=12): normal control group,model control group (normal saline) and naloxone group (naloxone 0.4 mg?kg-1). The model control group and the naloxone group were established into ischemical reperfusion injury model by a drain method of carotid artery. The naloxone was administered at the beginning of ischemia and reperfusion,respectively. At 120 min of reperfusion,the neuron morphous was observed under light microscope and electronic microscope,respectively,the width of the bright bands of the area surrounding neuron and blood vessels and the average density and gray scale value of Bax mRNA positive cells were detected. RESULTS: In naloxone group compared with model control group,the cellular morphous of the neurons was more integrated,the bright bands of the area surrounding neuron and blood vessels were narrower,the average density was lower while the gray scale value was higher for Bax mRNA positive cells and the expression of which was attenuated. CONCLUSION: The protective effect of naloxone on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rat might be associated to the down-regulation of Bax mRNA expression of apoptotic cells.

Objective To explore the role of Bc1\|2,Bc1\|x1 and Bax during the process of Ginsenoside Rg1 protecting against apoptosis of substantia nigra neurons in Parkinson disease(PD) mouse model. Methods C57BL mice were administrated i.p. with MPTP to produce PD mouse model.And different doses of Rg1(2 5,5 0,10 0?mg/kg) were given i.p. prior 3 days to MPTP in preventive groups.Nissl staining,tyrosine hydroxythase(TH) immunostaining and TUNEL staining were used to observe the changes of nigra neurons.Bc1\|2,Bc1\|x1 and Bax immunostaining were used to detect the expression of these proteins. Results Pretreatment with Rg1(5 0,10 0?mg/kg) could prevent the loss of Nissl staining neurons and TH\|positive neurons,and decrease TUNEL\|staining ratio.Rg1 could enhance the expression level of Bc1\|2 and Bc1\|x1,and reduce the expression level of Bax. Conclusion\ Rg1 has protective effect on apoptosis of substantia nigra neurons in PD mouse model.The increased expression level of Bc1\|2 and Bc1\|x1,and the decreased expression level of Bax may be the important mechanism during Rg1 protection against apoptosis.

Objective To study the hypoglycemic effect and mechanism of n￣butyl alcohol extraction from Anoectochilus roxburghii. Methods The total of 12 normal rats were used as normal control group, and 48 diabetic model rats were divided into model control group, and high dose, middle dose and low dose treatment groups with 12 rats in each group,three treatment groups received Anoectochilus roxburghii at dose 600,400,200 mg.kg-1 , respectively, normal control group and model control group were administered with equal volume of 0.9% sodium chlorade solution once a day.After 21 days of drug administration, the weights of rats, the levels of blood glucose and insulin were examined. Results Compared with normal control group, the body weight in model control group decreased significantly(P<0.01), while blood glucose significantly increased (P<0.01).Compared with model control group, the body weight in Anoectochilus roxburghii groups exhibited no obvious difference,while blood glucose decreased significantly (P<0.01 or P<0.05).The level of insulin in high dose group increased remarkably (P<0.05). Conclusion The n￣butyl alcohol extraction from Anoectochilus roxburghii shows markedly hypoglycemic effect,specifically for which at high dose increases the level of insulin significantly,its mechanism may involve with promoting β cells regeneration.

The developing process of thermal comfort was analyzed based on physiology and psychology and the relationship between thermal comfort and human health, environment was discussed in this paper.It suggested that the thermo-stable and thermo-comfortable environment, which might decrease body's adaptability to environment, were not necessarily good for human health. It might have some impacts on human's physiological and psychological adaptabilities also to live in the environment with a great difference between the indoor and outside temperature simultaneously and alternately.

With the acceleration of the aging process of the population, the number of patients suffering from dementia has increased year by year, which has become a prominent social public health problem and has brought a huge burden to the global economy. The effective intervention of controllable risk factors for dementia can reduce and delay the occurrence of dementia by 40%. Strengthening the intervention of the controllable risk factors of dementia, promoting the early diagnosis of dementia, improving the whole-process management of dementia treatment, and exploring new therapeutic targets are a huge systematic project that urgently needs the joint efforts of individuals and the public health system.

Objective To investigate the effects of IGFBP-3,RXR? and STAT-1 on A?_ 1-42 induced apoptosis in rat hippocampus neurons.Methods Apoptosis was induced by fibrillar A?_ 1-42.The percentage of neurons apoptosis was evaluated by microscopy after staining with TUNEL/DAPI.IGFBP-3 and RXR? positive neurons were observed by immunofluorescence.The expression of RXR? and STAT-1 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results After treatment with 20?mol/L A?_ 1-42 for 24 hours,the apoptotic hippocampus neurons were shown by TUNEL/DAPI assay.The percentage of apoptotic neurons was increased in a time-dependent manner.During the development of apoptosis,both the percentage of IGFBP-3/RXR? positive neurons and the expression of RXR? protein increased markedly after 3-6hours(P

Conclusions Setting up mental health management section; Increasing the funds for health service; Strengthening the training of professionals; exploiting the service field of related specialities and developing community mental health.

Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one type of orthostatic intolerance.The treatment for POTS including non-drug treatment and medications,such as α-receptor agonists,β-recepter blockers and oral rehydration salts.The prognostic meaning of biomarkers and hemodynamic parameters in the POTS children treated with midodrine hydrochloride are discussed in this paper.

Objective To investigate the effect of alprostadil injection on serum tumor necrosis factor ( TNF-α) ,β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels in adjunctive treatment of patients of severe hepatitis with liver and kidney syndrome.Methods A total of 60 patients of severe hepatitis with liver and kidney syndrome were collected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 cases in each group.The two groups were treated by conventional therapy, patients in the control group were treated by continuous renal replacement therapy, patients in the experimental group were treated on the basis of the control group with alprostadil injection in adjuvant therapy for 3 weeks.The serum biochemistry and liver and kidney function and clinical curative effect were detected.Results Compared with the control group, the serum TNF-α, β2-MG and sIL-2R levels of the experimental group were lower (P<0.05); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirnbin (TBiL) levels were lower (P<0.05), albumin (Alb) level and prothrombin time activity (PTA) were higher (P<0.05), serum creatinine (Scr), urea nitrogen (BUN), CysC and 24h urine protein were lower (P<0.05), 24h urine volume was higher (P<0.05); efficacy in experimental group was better than control group (Z=-2.321,P=0.020).Conclusion Alprostadil injection in adjunctive treatment of severe hepatitis with liver and kidney syndrome patients has significant effect and high safety, could significantly reduce the serum TNF-α, β2-MG and sIL-2R levels.

AIM: To explore the possible anti apoptotic mechanism of ginsenoside Rg1 on MPP + induced cellular apoptosis. METHODS: The apoptosis of SHSY5Y induced by MPP + was observed by AO EB staining. Flow cytometry was used to quantitate mitochondrial transmembrane potential (△?m) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) . Western Blot was used to detect the expression of bcl 2 and bax proteins in SHSY5Y cells. RESULTS: MPP + induced apoptosis in SHSY5Y cells was obviously inhibited by pretreatment with 10 ?mol?L -1 Rg1. Although there was no difference of mitochondrial transmembrane potential between Rg1 pretreated groups and MPP + groups, the level of ROS in Rg1 pretreated groups decreased, the expression of bcl 2 protein increased and expression of bax protein decreased. CONCLUSION: Rg1 protects against MPP + induced apoptosis in SHSY5Y cells and the effect may be attributed to its remove of ROS and its regulation of expression of bcl 2 and bax proteins.
