Objective To explore the relationship between learning and memory ability and antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px)activities in specific brain areas of D-galactose model rats. Methods The aging models were induced by D-galactose in 3-month old rats, and the learning and memory ability of aging model was detected in model MG-2 maze. The activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in brain cortex, cerebellum,hippocampus, striatum and hypothalamus were detected immediately after rats were executed. Results The learning and memory ability of D-ga-lactose aging model was lower than that of control group. The difference of antioxidant enzyme activity among different rat brain areas was significant. The correct response rate of D-galactose aging model was( 58.9 ± 5.4 ) %, which is significantly lower than that of the control group (66.8 ±8.9) %, P ＜ 0.05. The times of response required reaching the standard after 24h of aging model rats was significantly higher than that of the control( Aging group :29.5 ± 12.8, Control group 16.6 ± 6.2; P＜ 0.01 ). Correct response rate after 24h was significantly lower than that of the control ( Aging group :67.3 ± 10.3 , Control group: 79.1 ± 6.9; P＜ 0.01 ). The SOD activity in cortex, hippocampus and striatum( Aging group :66.12 ±5.89,80.46 ± 6.57,87.82 ± 6.87; Control group :57.63 ± 4.21,67.46 ± 6.80,68.37 ± 6.52) significantly reduced ( P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01 ).The CAT activity in cortex, hippocampus, striatum and hypothalamus( Aging group :6.45 ± 0.55,5.86 ±0.35,6.93 ± 0.63,8.89 ± 0.38; Control group :5.32 ± 0.56,4.76 ± 0.38,4.37 ± 043,6.11 ± 0.37) significantly reduced ( P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01 ). GSH-Px activity was similar in each brain area without significance ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusions The learning and memory ability of aging mode rats decreased. The change of antioxidant enzyme activities in hippocampus, cortex, striatum and hypothalamus is closely related to learning and memory ability.

BACKGROUND: Pathological changes of the brain tissue in patients with dementia of frontal type(DFT) are still controversial. This paper brought forward the pathological alterative characteristics of brain tissue in DFT patients through one pathological case study of the brain tissue in one dead dementia patient.OBJECTIVE: To validate one uncommon neurodegenerative disease complicated with dementia, DFT.DESIGN: A case analysis.SETTING: Department of Neurology of the First Hospital of Jilin University METHODS: Brain anatomy, serials of histological staining and immunohistochemical staining for PrP, tau protein, etc. were performed after 3 hours since the death of one patient with progressive dementia.stainingfrontal lobes. EEG displayed a paroxysmal high-amplitude slow wave with and the brain atrophy was limited to frontal lobe and the temporal lobe loss of neurocyte companied with significant gliosis since the second layer; However, the pyramidal cell was relatively healthy. No abnormality was munohistochemical staining had negative reactions.CONCLUSION: This case was typical DFT. This type of dementia should be considered in future analysis of the neurodegenerative disease complicated with dementia.

Objective:To investigate the expression of HIF-1 and VEGF and the correlation with pathological score of synovium in adjuvant-induce-arthritis rat knee joint.Methods: Models of adjuvant arthritis(AA)in rats were made successfully, the arthral pathological score was calculated, production of HIF-1α and VEGF protein was assayed by histoimmunchemical staining at different stage after CFA inoculation.Results:The HIF-1α and VEGF concentration in experimental group were higher than that in control group, and there was significant difference (P＜0.01).And correlation between them was significantly(P＜0.01), similar with pathological score of synovium(P＜0.01).Conclusion:HIF-1α and VEGF play important roles in the development and progression of synovium of knee joint in AA rat.The interaction of them promote development and progression of neonatal vascular in synovium.

Objective 　To investigate the neuropathological changes of central nervous system in Guillain-Barré syndrom. Methods　Brain, spinal cord and sciatic nerve were obtained from 22 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome. Eight cases were examined by general autopsy, 14 cases were examined by limited autopsy. HE, KB, Bielschowsky, Weil and Sudan Ⅲ　staining were carried out, the sections were observed by light microscopy. Results　1.Cerebral superficial veins congested, widening of the cortical sulci, narrowed gyri and mild cerebellar tonsillar hernia were present. 2. Majority of cerbral neurons presented an ischemic changes. Slightly loss of hippocampal pyramidal neurons were found. There was chromatolysis of motor neurons of brain stem. Lymphocytic infiltration around the small vessels occurred in the pons and medullary oblongata in 8 cases. Focal demyelination was noted in pons and frontal white matter in 2 cases. Loss of Purkinje cells and appearance of glial nodules were observed in molecular layer of cerebellum. 3. Swellin, central chromatolysis and eccentric nuclei of anterior horn cells appeared in 16 cases, which were pronounced in cervical and lumbal segment of spinal cord. Vaculated neuroplasma and lymphacytic infiltrition could be seen. 4. Segmental demyelination and lymphocytic infiltration were the main neuropathological changes observed in 20 cases. There were two other cases in which the axon were severely involved, which showed swelling and breakdown of axons and as well as axonal bulbs. Conclusions　1. Lymphocytic infiltration in brain stem and spinal cord were in continuousness of pathological changes of peripheral nerves. 2. Finding of glial nodules suggested that there was possibility of infection of neurotropic virus. 3. Occurence of focal demyelination in cerebrum and brain stem indicated that Guillain-Barré syndrome may have combined involvement of central and peripheral nervous system.

Objective To detect point mutations of the PRNP in 10 sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients. Methods Priori protein gene open reading frame was amplified by PCR of genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. Products were sequenced and digested with restriction endonuc lease Nsp I to check the phenotype at codon 129. Results Two CJD patients were confirmed at autopsy. One full sequencing of the PRNP open reading frame revealed normal, but the other revealed a single novel mutation consisting of a cytosine-to-guanine substitution at nucleotide 729, causing asparagine to replace glutamic acid at codon 211. Among 8 probable CJD patients, 2 full sequencing of the PRNP open reading frame revealed anadenine-to-guanine substitution at nucleotide 751, causing lysine to replace glutamic acid at codon 219. The patients were methionine homozygosity at codon 129. Conclusions The E211D mutation was identified in a confirmed CJD patient. The novel point mutation might be associated with familial CJD. However, E219K identified in 2 possible CJD patients was included in polymorphism of the PRNP as well as M129V. Analysis of PRNP plays an important role for diagnose of familial priori disease.

Objective To study the MRI findings of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and its clinical relations. Methods MRI of 10 cases CJD patients were examined 2-12 months after the onset. 6 cases were diagnosed using cerebral biopsy, 8 cases received CSF analysis for 14-3-3 protein, 8 cases showed special changes of electroencephalogram, PrP gene of 9 cases were analyzed. Results Symmetric bilateral high signals were observed in caudate nucleus and Putamen in T 2-weighted imaging and Flair imaging in 5 cases, but the pallidum and thalamus were normal. No changes were found in T1-weighted imaging. 2 cases showed brain atrophy, 1 case showed mild lacunar infarction,and the other 2 were normal. Conclusions Abnormal signals in basal ganglia of 4 patients of 129Met/Met homozygote occurred after 2.5 months averagely, they survived for 10.5 months at average. 1 patient of 129 Met/Val heterozygote showed abnormal signals in basal ganglia after 12 months, and survived for 16 months. The mean duration of patient with abnormal signals in basal ganglia (12.2 months) is longer than those without changes in basal ganglia (5.5 months). Symmetric high signal in bilateral caudate nucleus and Putamen is an important imaging feature of sCJD. It might be served as a diagnostic index in some circumstances.
