Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-134 ( miR-134 ) , CREB and pCREB in the temporal lobe tissue of patients and epileptic rats and to explore their roles in pathogenesis of epilepsy.Methods Tempo-ral lobe tissue samples of 14 patients with refractory epilepsy and 10 non-epileptic patients, and hippocampus and brain tis-sue samples of 42 rats were used in this study.Forty-two healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to 6 epilepsy groups (24 h, 72 h, 7 d, 14 d, 30 d, and 60 d after kindling epilepsy) and a normal control group (n=6 for all groups) .The rat model of epilepsy was generated by intraperitoneal injection of 127 mg/kg lithium chloride and 16-20 h later, 35 mg/kg pilocarpine.In the temporal lobe tissue of patients and hippocampal tissue of rats, the expression level of miR-134 was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression levels of CREB and pCREB were de-termined by Western blot, and CREB and pCREB localization was assessed by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the control rats, the expression of miR-134 was significantly decreased in the temporal lobe tissue of experimental rats at 72 h,7 d,14 d, 60 d after kindling (P＜0.05),and no significant change at 24 h and 30 d after kindling (P>0.05). Expression of miR-134 in patients with refractory epilepsy was significantly lower than that of the controls ( P＜0.05 ) , while up-regulation of CREB expression was at the same time points (P＜0.05).Up-regulation of pCREB expression was at all the time points after kindling (P＜0.05).CREB and p-CREB expressions were seen in the nuclei of neurons, and significantly higher in patients with refractory epilepsy and epileptic rats.Conclusions The expression of miR-134 is sig-nificantly decreased and that of CREB and pCREB was significantly increased in the temporal lobe tissue of patients with re-fractory epilepsy and the hippocampal tissue of epileptic rats.These findings indicate that the signaling pathway of miR-134/CREB/pCREB may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.

Objective To study the changes of reactive astrocytosis after heat shock protein 70 (HSPT0) was blocked by anti-HSP70 antibody. Methods We established cell model of scratch inju-ries by in situ culture and prurification of rat astrocytcs. Anti-HSP70 antibody was added into the nutrient medium at once after injury for intervention (intervention group). Then, immunocytochemical staining of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) was done at different time points in control group and intervention group to observe astrocytosis and morphologic changes, mRNA expression of GFAP was observed by means of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared with the con-trol group, average cell area, average dentritic length and number of dentrities of astrocytes were signifi-cantly reduced in the intervention group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), with down-regulated mRNA expression of GFAP (P < 0.05). Conclusion HSP70 plays a facilitative role in reactive astrocytosis after injury of astrocytes. Reactive astrocytosis can be controlled to some extent by blocking HSP70 with anti-HSP70 antibody.

Objective To observe the phosphorylation of extraceUular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK1/2) and its nuclear translocation at different time points after the hippocampal neurons were cul-tured in the magnesium-free medium, and discuss the changes of ERK1/2 signal pathway after epileptic injury of hippocampal neurons. Methods Hippocampal neurons from newly-born Wistar rats were cul-tured with NB medium and B-27 for 9 days, and then were transferred to the magnesium-free medium to induce epileptic injury to the hippocampal neurons. The distribution of p-ERK1/2 in the hippocampal neurons before and after the epileptic injury was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope, and the expression of p-ERK1/2 at different time points after culturing the hippocampal neurons in the magne-sium-free medium was detected by Western blot. Results Before the epileptic injury of hippocampal neurons, p-ERK1/2 mainly expressed in the cytoplasm and axoplasm of the neurons. While after the epi-leptic injury, the expression of p-ERK1/2 was detected in the cytoplasm, axoplasm and nucleus of the neurons. The expression of p-ERK1/2 was increased one hour after the epileptic injury, and peaked at hour 3 (p-ERK1:2.2838±0.1 186; p-ERK2:4.1 273±0.0 927). There was significant difference in the expression of p-ERK1/2 between the hippocampal neurons cultured with or without magnesium-free medium (P < 0.05). Conclusion Epileptic injury may induce increased expression of p-ERK1/2 in hippocampal neurons, and the activated ERK1/2 signal pathway may be associated with the epileptic dis-charge in neurons.

Methods: The monitoring data of health literacy of residents in Hangzhou from 2016 to 2020 were collected. The five year cumulative growth and average growth rate were used to reflect the changing trend. The multivariate logistic regression model under complex survey design was used to analyze the influencing factors for health literacy. Results: From 2016 to 2020, the health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents were 26.91%, 29.49%, 31.83%, 34.73% and 38.00%, respectively. The five year cumulative growth was 11.09% and the average growth rate was 9.01%. Among three aspects of health literacy, the levels of basic knowledge and concept as well as healthy lifestyle and behaviors increased year by year (P<0.05), with the average growth rates of 15.12% and 2.92%. Among six types of health problems, the levels of chronic disease prevention and treatment, basic medical treatment, scientific view, health information as well as safety and first aid increased year by year ( P<0.05 ), with the average growth rates of 32.76%, 15.82%, 8.41%, 7.12% and 1.53%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education level ( junior high school, OR=5.359, 95%CI: 1.151-24.953;high school/vocational high school/technical secondary school, OR=9.214, 95%CI: 2.906-29.213; college or above, OR=29.977, 95%CI: 9.689-92.741 ) and occupation ( students, OR=2.564, 95%CI: 1.113-5.907 ) were the influencing factors for health literacy. Conclusion The health literacy levels of Hangzhou residents from 2016 to 2020 have been increasing year by year. The residents with higher education levels and students may have higher health literacy levels.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression and activity of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) in the temporal lobe of epileptic patients and rat models and explore its role in the occurrence and progression of epilepsy.

METHODSThe temporal lobe tissue of epileptic patients and rat models (induced by lithium-pilocarpine) were examined for SIRT1 expression using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting and also for SIRT1 activity using SIRT1 Deacetylase Assay Kit.

RESULTSImmunohistochemistry detected positive SIRT1 expression mainly in the cytoplasm of the neurons in both human and rat brains, and the epileptic groups showed stronger SIRT1 immunoreactivity than the control group. Western blotting and activity assay showed that the expression and activity of SIRT1 were significantly increased in the temporal lobe of patients with refractory epilepsy as compared with the tissues samples from non-epileptic patients (P<0.05). In the rat models of epilepsy, SIRT1 expression was up-regulated at 6, 24, and 72 h and at 7, 14, 30, and 60 days after kindling (P<0.05) and SIRT1 activity was significantly increased at 6, 24, and 72 h and at 7 and 14 days (P<0.05), with the peak level of SIRT1 expression and activity occurring at 72 h.

CONCLUSIONUp-regulation of SIRT1 expression and activity in the temporal lobe of epileptic patients and rat models may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.

When we try to establish the gene recombinant yeast cell to screen the androgenic endocrine disruptors, the key procedure is the androgen receptor (AR) expression in the yeast cell. For this purpose, we obtained the GPD (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphote dehydrogenase) promoter from the yeast genosome of W303-1A using PCR system and inserting it into Swa I and BamH I sites of pYestrp2. The new constructed vector was named pGPD. The V5 epitope tag DNA with a 5'-BamH I and a 3'-EcoR I sticky end was cloned into the corresponding site of the pGPD vector to yield the vector of pGPDV5. The 2 723 bp full length AR ORF amplified by PCR from pcDNA3.1/AR was fused to V5 epitope tag DNA in pGPDV5 to give the AR yeast expression vector of pGPDV5/AR. This fused vector was transformed into the yeast cell (W303-1A). Western blot was used to detect the V5 fused protein of AR, in the protocol of which the primary monoclonal antibody (IgG(2a)) of mouse anti-V5 and the polyclonal secondary antibody of goat anti-mouse (IgG) linked to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were used to detect the specific protein in the given sample of the transformed yeast extract. The result showed that the fused protein of AR was expressed successfully in the yeast cell.
