Protein Kinase C (PKC) is an important messenger in intracellular signal transduction. So far, at least 11 members of PKC isoforms have been isolated and purified. The mutation of the non-synonymous SNP (1425G/A) of the η isoform of protein kinase C (PKC η), a protein kinase Cη gene (PRKCH) may result in the increased PKCη activity, which is considered as a new risk factor for lacunar infarction. In recent years, the studies about the role of PRKCH in cell differentiation and apoptosis and its relation with some signal transduction pathways have made some new advances, especially, PKCη participates in the regulation of some key enzyme activity that mitogen-activated protein kinase, inducible nitric oxide-synthase and matrix metalloproteinase are closely correlated with the process of atherosclerosis. It will provide a new way of thinking for the clinical intervention of cerebral infarction in the future.

Objective To explore the formation process of vacuum pressure differential of micro power negative pressure technology to facilitate its clinical application.MethodsThe formation of negative pressure differential and changes of negative pressure values in enclosure space were studied which was formed by liquid aspiration after the compressive polyvinyl alcohol foam material was enclosed.Micro power negative pressure technology was applied to the treatment of the right ear necrosis patient after focal cleaning,and the efficacy was observed.Results Medical adhesive film was raised gradually during the expansion of polyvinyl alcohol foam due to liquid aspiration,and then the enclosure space extended increasingly to form local vacuum negative pressure.The range of maximal negative pressure was between-110 and-200 Pa,and the mean maximal negative pressure value was-132.7 Pa.Micro power negative pressure technology behaved well in healing the wound.Conclusion Micro power negative pressure technology gains advantages in reliability and easy operation over other technologies and products,and may be a new choice for healing of refractory wounds.

Objective To explore the effect of glycine on the intestinal barrier of rats with obstructive jaundice.Methods The male Wistar rats weighing 220—260g were randomly assigned to three groups(n=20): sham operation group(A),common bile ligation gruop(B),common bile duct ligation plus glycine group(C).Except sham operation group(A),rat models with obstructive jaundice in the other groups were set up by double ligation of the common bile duct.The rats in group C was fed with 5% glycine solution for 5 d.From the second day after the operation,the rats in group C were fed according to the preoperative standard.On the 21th day after operation,the rats were killed and serum bilirubin(BIL) and the amount of nitric oxide(NO) in intestinal tissue were determined,the morphological changes of the intestine were observed,the villus height and mucosal thickness were measured.Results Compared with group A,the serum BIL and the amount of NO in intestinal tissue were increased and the villus height and mucosal thickness were reduced in group B(P0.05) compared with group A.Conclusion Glycine can decrease the level of NO in the intestinal tissue and improve the damaged intestinal barrier obviously.

Objective:To observe the effects of salidroside on the expression of substance P (SP)and neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R)of bone marrow cells(BMCs)in bone marrow(BM)depressed anemia mice,and to explore its roles for hematopoietic regulation.Methods:Automatic blood cell analysator was used to detected the changes of peripheral blood cells in each group ,immuno-histochemistry and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) were used to analyze the expressions of SP and its receptor NK-1R of BMCs in each group respectively.Results: Peripheral blood testing results showed that the number of white blood cells (WBC),red blood cells(RBC)and hemoglobin(HB)of model group were significantly decreased when compared with control group.Compared with model group ,low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose salidroside obviously elevated the number of white blood cells ,and middle-dose salidroside obviously elevated the number of platelets.Immunohistochemistry studies showed that the expression of SP and its receptor NK-1R of BMCs was found in each group.Compared with control group , the expression of SP of BMCs was decreased obviously in model group(P<0.05),and the expression of NK-1R of BMCs was decreased slightly in model group (P>0.05),and the expression of SP and its receptor NK-1R of BMCs was increased significantly in low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose salidroside groups (P<0.05).RT-PCR data showed that the expression of SP mRNA of BMCs was increased obviously in model group ,low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose salidroside groups when compared with control group (P<0.05).The expression of NK-1R mRNA of BMCs was un-detected in control group and model group.The expression level of NK-1R mRNA of BMCs was elevated gradually with the increase of salidroside dosage in low-dose,middle-dose and high-dose salidroside groups.Conclusion: The mRNA and protein expressions of SP and its receptor NK-1R of BMCs were up-regulated significantly by salidroside in dose-dependent manner.These data suggest that salidroside could participate in the recovery of hematopoietic function of BM depressed anemia mice by increasing the expression of SP and its receptor NK-1R of BMCs.

Objective To explore whether hepatocellular ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury elicites the apoptosis of hepatocytes or ischemic preconditioning (IP) reduces the apoptosis (AP) of hepatocytes due to IR injury in the rat, and the effect of IP on AP regulating genes (bcl 2、Fas) protein expresssion. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation (SO) group, IR group and IP group. The latter two groups were futher divided into 3 subgroups respectively and subjected to 30 minutes of ischemia. IP was achieved by ischemia for 5 minutes, followed by reperfusion for 5 minutes before continuous block of the liver influe. The rats were killed after reperfusion for 1.5, 3 and 4.5 hours respectively, then liver tissues were sampled to examine the apoptosis and bcl 2 and Fas proteins. In SO group the rats were killed 3.5 hours after the operation and the liver tissues were sampled. Results Apotosis index of hepotocytes significantly in creased in IR groups compared with that in IP groups (P0.05). Expression of Fas protein was significantly increased in IR group and IP group than that in SO group (P0.05). Conclusions This study shows that: (1) IR injury may activate the apoptosis of hepatocytes by increasing Fas gene expression. (2) IP may decrease the apoptosis of hepatocytes by increasing bcl 2 gene expression.

0.05). Conclusions There is significant hemodynamic fluctuation during HPLT. It is very important that to monitor hemodynamics, prevent and manage hemodynamics disturbance durig HPLT

Objective To analysis the MRI features of cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), to improve the understanding of MRI manifestations of this disease. Meth?ods The clinical manifestations, neuroimaging analysis and genetic analysis were performed in the CADASIL pedigree proband and his families. Results Five of six cases were confirmed with C2182T mutation on exon 14 of the NOTCH3, of which three cases were diagnosed by MRI. Brain MRI findings included bilateral symmetric distributed confluent lesions in the subcortical and periventricular white matter in the frontal lobe, hypointensity on T1WI and hyperintensity on both T2WI and T2 FLAIR imaging in four cases. The external capsule was involved in three cases, with hyperintensity on T2WI. Subcortical lacunar lesions (SLLs) were shown in three cases. Lacunar infarction in the basal ganglia and thalamus were presented in four cases. T2WI hyperintensity at the brain stem was found in two cases. Cerebral microbleeds were re?vealed in three cases. There was no O’Sullivan sign in all the six cases. Conclusions There is characteristic change of MRI in CADASIL patients, which may play a very important role in screening these cases.
