Objective To explore the effects of electroacupuncture combined with enriched rehabilitation training on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the cerebral cortex of neonatal rats with brain injury. Methods Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 450 μg/kg∙d) was injected to pregnant rats on the 17th and 18th days intraperitoneally. The control group was injected with equal sterile normal saline. The neonatal rats injected with LPS were randomly divided into non-intervention group and intervention group. The intervention group received intervention once a day until the 28th day. The control group and the non-intervention groups were fed regularly. Immunohistochemistry (SABC) was used to detect the expression of BDNF on the 1st, 14th, 21st and 28th days. Results The expression of BDNF was higher in the non-intervention group than in the control group (P<0.01) on the 1st day, but there was no significant difference on the 14th, 21st and 28th days. And it was higher in the intervention group than in the other 2 groups (P<0.01). Conclusion Electroacupuncture combined with enriched rehabilitation training can significantly improve the expression of BDNF in cerebral cortex of neonatal rats with brain injury

Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia on the expression of small ubiquitin-like modifier-specific proteases 3 (SENP3) in the brain tissues during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in mice.Methods Ninety-six male C57/BL6 mice,aged 10-12 weeks,weighing 22-30 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =32 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R,and mild hypothermia group (group H).Cerebral I/R was produced by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries for 15 min followed by reperfusion.The surface cooling was started immediately after reperfusion,and the rectal temperature was maintained at 32-34 ℃ for 3 h.At 6,12,24 and 72 h of reperfusion,8 mice were selected from each group and sacrificed.The hippocampi were removed for examination of the pathological changes (with light microscope) and for determination of cell apoptosis (using TUNEL) and expression of SENP3 (by Western blot).The apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group S,the apoptosis rate in hippocampal CA1 region was significantly increased,and the expression of SENP3 was significantly up-regulated at each time point of reperfusion in group I/R (P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R,the apoptosis rate in hippocampal CA1 region was significantly decreased,and the expression of SENP3 was significantly down-regulated at each time point of reperfusion (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly reduced in group H.Conclusion The mechanism by which mild hypothermia reduces cerebral I/R injury is associated with inhibition of SENP3 expression in the brain tissues of mice.

Objective This study was designed to determine the influence of acute ethanol intoxication (AEI) on brain edema and aquaporin-4(AQP-4) levels after traumatic brain injury(TBI) in rots. The underlying mechanism was also investigated. Method Severe traumatic brain injury models were made using the Feeny method; acute ethanol intoxication models were established by gavagy. One hundred and ninety-two male SD rats were randomly divided(random number) into four groups, namely the sham operation group(A ), the acute ethanol intoxication group( B ), the traumatic brain injury group(C) and the combination of acute ethanol intoxication with traumatic brain injury group(D). Each group was further divided into four sub-groups according to the time interval between injury and death of the rats. After brain tissue was fixed by affusing paraformaldehyde, the expression of AQP-4 was detected by immunohistochemistry. Water content was detected by dry-wet analysis, and AQP-4 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and western blotting respectively after the brain tissue was got by rapid decapitation. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Results The water content of brain tissue and expression level of AQP-4 were not significantly different between groups A and B( P > 0.05); however both were significantly increased in groups C and D relative to group A( P < 0.05). The water content of brain tissue in group D increased by mere than that in group C( P < 0.05), while the expression level of AQP-4 in group D was lower than that in group C(P<0.05). Conclusions Acute ethanol intoxication inhibited the expression of AQP-4,which induced a more severe cerebral edema after traumatic brain injury.

Objective To explore the effects of empowerment education on rehabilitation in patients with celebral hemorrhage . Methods Select 200 cases of patients with celebral hemorrhage cured rehabilitation medical center ,the patients were randomly and single-blindly divided into 2 groups (n=100 each) .Both the treatment group and the control group were given rehabilitation guid-ance on the day of discharge and 1st ,2nd ,4th ,7th ,9th ,12th weeks after discharge .Patients in control group were given compliance education philosophy ,and patients in treatment group were given empowerment education philosophy .Patients of both groups were used Barthel index (BI) to assess the activities of daily living (ADL)and motor assessment scale (MAS) to motor function in the day of discharge and 25th weeks after discharge from hospital .Results The BI [(44 .12 ± 8 .56) vs .(62 .16 ± 8 .77)]and MAS [(18 .70 ± 9 .47) vs .(28 .53 ± 8 .75)]of treatment group were apparently higher than those of the control group (P<0 .01) .The to-tal effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group(70% vs .85% ) Conclusion Empowerment educa-tion can obviously improve the ADL function and promote the recovery of motor function in patients with cerebral hemorrhage and improve the effect of family rehabilitation .

ObjectiveTo observe effects of combination of wax therapy and occupational therapy on spastic cerebral palsy with thumb adduction.Methods100 cases of children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into observation group(n=50) and control group(n=50). The observation group received occupational therapy and wax therapy, while the control group received only occupational therapy. The effect was compared between the two groups 3 months after treatment.ResultsThe two groups improved significantly 3 months after treatment, while the observation group was better than the control group(P＜0.001).ConclusionWax therapy combined with occupational therapy have better effects on thumb adduction in spastic cerebral palsy than simple occupational therapy.

Aim To investigate the effect of SA on induction of ERK1/2 activity in rat pulmonary smooth muscle cells(PASMCs).Methods Western blot analysis was employed to identify the activation of ERK1/2 stimulated by SA at different time points and concentrations in cultured rat PASMCs.Results An unexpected observation showed that ERK1/2 phosphorylation was seen after treatment of SA for 2h at a high concentration(30 ?mol?L-1) but not at lower concentration(from 1 nmol?L-1 to 1 ?mol?L-1).Activation of ERK1/2 pathway could be inhibited by an ERK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 or a protein kinase A(PKA) activator isoproterenol.Conclusion Together,these results suggest that SA has a strong dual regulating effect upon ERK1/2 through PKC and/or PKA pathways in rat PASMCs.

Aim To test the contribution of 15-HETE on expression of KV1.5 channel under hypoxia condition,using CDC or NDGA to block 15-LO/15-HETE,and to observe the effect of hypoxia on KV1.5 channel protein,mRNA expressions in cultured rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells(PASMCs)and pulmonary arterials(PAs).Methods Western blot,RT-PCR and 15-LO blockers,cinnamyl 3,4-dihydroxy-[alpha]-cyanocinnamate(CDC)or nordihydroguiairetic acid(NDGA)were used to identify the role of endogenous 15-HETE on expression of KV1.5 channel in cultured rat pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells(PASMCs)and PAs.Results(1)The expressions of KV1.5 channel protein and mRNA in PASMCs and PAs preteated with CDC or NDGA greatly increased than those of PASMCs under hypoxia group.(2)Exogenous 15-HETE added to PASMCs pretreated with CDC or NDGA greatly decreased the expression of KV1.5 than that of adding PASMCs pretreated with CDC or NDGA under hypoxia condition.Conclusion The down-regulation of KV1.5 channel expression caused by hypoxia is through endogenous 15-HETE.
