BACKGROUND:Previous studies demonstrated that ischemia can be compensated by establishing collateral circulation and microangiogenesis,and exercise training can ameliorate blood supply of ischemic lower limb.However,whether exercise training accelerate establishment of collateral circulation remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of exercise training on accelerating microangiogenesis of rat ischemic lower limb.METHODS:Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the exercise training,model and sham-surgery groups.All animals were established left lower limb ischemia models except those in the sham-surgery group.Rats in the exercise training group were forced running 30 minutes per day at 1 week after model preparation and those in other groups were performed daily activities.The adductor of ischemic lower limb was obtained for the examination of microvessel density and the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor.Simultaneously,bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells were harvested for detection of microangiogenesis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Number of endothelial progenitor calls,expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor,as well as microvessel density of the exercise training group was obviously greater than those in the model and sham-surgery groups(P<0.01).Compared with the model and sham-surgery groups,in vitro vasculogenesisof bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells in the exercise training group was increased(P<0.05).These findings demonstrated that lower limb ischemia increases microangiogenesis,and exercise training enhances this effect.

AIM: To investigate the repair mechanism associated with cholesterol synthesis regulated by silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in rat model of optic nerve damage.METHODS: Preparation of optic nerve damage in 70 rats was randomly divided into normal group (10 rats), resveratrol treatment group ( experimental group 30 rats) and PBS buffer control group ( 30 rats ) . The experimental group and control group was further divided into 3 subgroups ( each group 10 rats ) , respectively. After 7, 14, 21d injected resveratrol or PBS, optic nerve injury were observed, then the rats were sacrificed. Retina was segregated; the surviving retinal ganglion cell ( RGCs ) was counted. Dissection of optic nerve, cholesterol content of them were tested; RT-PCR was used to detect mRNA expression of SIRT1, SREBP2 and HMGCR; Western blot assay was used to test the protein expression levels of SIRT1, cholesterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2) and HMGCR.
RESULTS:The numbers of RGCs and cholesterol levels of rat model with optic nerve injury decreased significantly (P<0. 01). The mRNA and protein expression levels of SIRT1, SREBP2 and HMGCR were all decreased in a time-dependent manner (P<0. 05). Three components of the three time points, with time injuries were aggravated, and the extent of damage was significantly reduced in the treatment group compared with the control group. But in resveratrol treatment group, the cholesterol levels and mRNA or protein expression of SIRT1, SREBP2, HMGCR in optic nerve were significantly restored in a time-dependent ( P<0.05 ) . The number of surviving RGCs restored significantly in resveratrol treatment group (P<0. 01) in a time-dependent manner.
CONCLUSION:Up-regulating the expression of SIRT1, SREBP2 and down- regulating HMGCR by resveratrol could repair the injury of optic nerve through promoting the synthesis of cholesterol in neurons and retinal ganglion cells in the repair process. SIRT1 may be as a promising new target for treatment on optic nerve damage.

Abstract Long-term use of levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease can cause motor complications, which seriously impair the patients'motor function, reduce the quality of life, and aggravate the functional disability. Since there has been no effective treatment for motor complications, clarifying the influencing factors and prevention methods are conducive to reducing the risk of incidence and improving the quality of life of the patients. This paper summarizes the types and mechanism of motor complications of Parkinson's disease, the influencing factors ( levodopa dose, onset age, Helicobacter pylori infection and high protein diet ) and preventive measures ( psychological intervention, low protein diet, rehabilitation exercise and drugs ), so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of the disease.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the drug intervention in diversity changes of TCRVbeta gene in AIDS patients with incomplete immune reconstitution.

METHODPBMCs were isolated from 37 cases of AIDS patients failure to immune reconstitution before and after treatment with Immune 2 and 15 cases of HIV negative healthy donors. The human gene TCRVbeta CDR3 diversity quantitative detection reagent box were used, and mapped the distribution of gene scanning and calculated different CDR3 fragme of each Vbeta family size.

RESULT(1) Gaussian distribution of TCRVbeta families in patients with incomplete immune reconstitution after one year of HAART, had been broken with the occurrence of the offset TCR lineage. After six months of treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined HAART, the TCR lineage has been partially restored. (2) Evaluated by the D (distance) value calculated by a quantitative analysis software which the kit provides, there were no significant difference in D value change between the two groups, but with traditional Chinese medicine can reduce the data variability. (3) CD4+ T cell counts had a significant correlation (r = -0.772, P = 0.000) with TCRVbeta genetic diversity.

CONCLUSIONStudy of the mechanism showed oligoclonal of TCRVbeta family can get recovery in some degrees after treated by Immune 2 plus HAART, suggesting that the medicine may promote T-cell receptor gene rearrangement, helping immune cells to effectively identify the virus to reduce T-cell apoptosis.
