Objective To observe the protective effects of salidroside on glutamate-induced injury in cultured hippocampal neurons.Methods Primarily cultured hippocampal neurons from fetal Wistar rat were incubated with salidroside(10,20 and 40mg/L) for 24 hours,then glutamate(125?mol/L) was added for 15 minutes to induce injury.Cell viability was detected by MTT assay,the vigor of LDH was determined by biochemistry method,the apoptosis rates were anallyzed using Annexin V-FITC and PI labelling and Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cylometric assay.Fluorescent intensity of intracellular free calcium was observed with laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM).Results After the pretreatment with salidroside for 24 hours,the increases of LDH vigor and apoptosis rates and the decrease of cell viability caused by glutamate were resisted obviously.Salidroside inhibited the increase of Ca~2+ in cytoplasm significantly.Conclusion Salidroside can significantly resist the injury induced by glutamate.The neuroprotective activities of salidroside can be related to its ability to reduce Ca~2+ overload in cytoplasm.

Objective To evaluate the expressive variety of NGF gene in injured sciatic nerves of rat. Methods For hemi-quanti- tative analysis, RT-PCR method was used in the detection of the levels of NGF mRNA in the distal stumps at 1 day and 1, 2, 4 weeks following transection of sciatic nerve. Results The 1evel of NGF mRNA was low in the normal sciatic nerve. But it was increased in the distal stump after sciatic nerve transection. The biphasic increase in NGF mRNA was characterized by a first very rapid and transient increase peaking at ist day after lesion, than a second prolonged and slow elevation starting around ist weed after lesion. Conclusion The process in NGF gene expression after sciatic nerve lesion was biphasicly increased.

Objective To observe CNTF gene expression and expressive variety during postnatal development in rat spinal cord. Methods The spatial expression of CNTF mRNA in spinal cord was examined by in situ hybridization with dig\|CNTF cDNA probe.Reverse transcription\|polymerse chain reaction(RT\|PCR),as hemi\|quantitative method was used to investigate the expressive variety of CNTF mRNA levels in spinal cord during postnatal development. Results Hybridized signals of CNTF mRNA was found only in part of glial cells on the peripheral region of the ventral and lateral white funiculi of spinal cord,but could not be detected in the gray matter of spinal cord.The expression of CNTF mRNA in spinal cord appeared with a lower level on the first postnatal day.It increased significantly at postnatal 15th days,the expression of CNTF mRNA reached the peak at 30th days,and it began to decrease on the 60th days. Conclusion This study indicated that CNTF mRNA might be expressed in part of glial cells in the white matter.There was expression in spinal cord on the 1st day after birth and the expression levels of CNTF mRNA possessed the changeable character during spinal cord development.

Objective To investigate the prevention and treatment of acute renal failure (ARF) following orthotopic liver transplantation(OLT).MethodsClinical data of 51 patients who underwent liver transplantion consecutively between October 2001 and April 2003 were analyzed retrospectively. Results Preoperatively 9 out of 51 patients had suffered renal dysfunction (Cr≥132 ?mol/L or BUN≥18 ?mol/L), ARF developed in 7 cases within one week postoperatively. Kidney function recovered to normal in 6 cases in 3 to 6 days after administration of vasoactive drugs (dopamine) and daclizumab (Zenapax). One patient failing to response needed hemodialysis for 11 days before his kidney finally functioned. Conclusions The etiology of ARF following OLT is multifactorial, with preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative factors being involved. Individually applied immunosuppressant, improving renal perfusion, and hemodialysis were important for the recovery of kidney function.
