Objective To observe the neuroprotection of Baicalin on brain damage following experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods Rat model of intracerebral hemorrhage was induced by collagenase method.The rats were randomly divided into sham operation control group,model group,high-,middle-and low-dose drug group,treated with different dose of Baicalin.The brain water content and the level of SOD,MDA,NO and NOS were measured at the third and seventh day after modeling repectively.Results Compared with the sham operation control group,the brain water content and the level of MDA,NO and NOS were significantly higher,and the level of SOD was significantly lower in model group.The brain water content and the level of MDA,NO and NOS were significantly lower,and the level of SOD was obviously higher in high-,middle-and low-dose Baicalin group than that in model group.Conclusion Baicalin has evident protective effect on brain damage after experimental intracerebral hemorrhage in rats,which maybe related to the increase of SOD and decrease of MDA,NO and NOS.

Objective Parkinson's disease( PD) is a common chronic neurodegenerative disease,with four major symptoms of resting tremor, muscle rigidity, slow motion and postural balance disorder?The pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease is still unknown?A large number of studies suggested that may be the result of the interaction of genetic factors,environmental factors,aging,immune factors,specifically involved in oxidative stress,mitochondrial damage,and other mechanisms?There were 50% patients characterized by tremors,tremor is the most difficult symptoms to treat of PD, but the mechanism is still under controversial, so it ’ s of great significance to understand the generation of PD tremor, which helps to promote the clinical treatment and diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of circ_0063865 in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)tissues and cells and its effect on the biological properties of the cells.Methods:The loop structure and stability of circ_0063865 were identified by Sanger sequencing, back-to-back primer validation and the ribonuclease R(Rnase R)tolerance assay.The expression of circ_0063865 was detected by RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization in an ESCC tissue microarray and its clinical relevance was analyzed.The expression levels of circ_0063865 in a normal esophageal epithelial cell line and ESCC cell lines were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR). Cell counting Kit-8, the colony formation assay, the scratch assay, the transwell invasion assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of circ_0063865 on cell proliferation, migration, invasion abilities and apoptosis, respectively.Results:The loop formation of circ_0063865 was verified by Sanger sequencing, back-to-back primer and Rnase R tolerance assays.The results of RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization showed that the mean fluorescence intensity of circ_0063865 expressed in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than in its paired paracancerous normal tissues( t=2.267, P<0.05). The expression of circ_0063865 was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis( χ2=4.356, P<0.05). The average overall survival time of patients with high circ_0063865 expression ESCC was lower than that of patients with low circ_0063865 expression ESCC.RT-qPCR results demonstrated that, compared with HEEC, circ_0063865 expression was elevated in ESCC cell lines( F=18.413, P<0.05). In addition, after circ_0063865 knockdown, the proliferation, migration and invasion abilities of KYSE-30 and KYSE-150 cells were significantly decreased, and the level of apoptosis was significantly increased(both P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of circ_0063865 in ESCC is high, and changes in its expression are significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis.Additionally, circ_0063865 can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion of ESCC cells.
