BACKGROUND: Amfetamine, one of the levarterenols, can improve the recovery of motor function of animals after cerebral ischemia. Chlorimipramine can inhibit the re-intake of 5-serotonin and levarterenol and improve the level of them in brain. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of chlorimipramine on motor function of rats with focal cerebral ischemic injury.DESIGN: Randomized grouping and controlled animal study. SETTING: Neuropsychiatry Team of Aerial Clinical Medical Department of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Morphological Laboratory of Aerial Aerospace Medical Department of the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. All the 24 SD rats were divided into sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group with 8 in each group. Rats in ischemic medication group were perfused with 10 mg/kg chlorimipramine solution (2.5 g/L) once a day through mouth 24 hours after ischemia, and rats in sham operation group and ischemia group were perfused with the same volume of distilled water through mouth. METHODS: Middle cerebral artery (MCA) models of ischemia/reperfusion rats were established with inserted lining method. After modeling, the operations were performed as followed: ① holding test of net screen: Net screen was put horizontally, and then rats were put on it. One side of the screen was raised gradually; then it was turned over 125° within 2 s, and maintained at this placement. Time of holding rats on net screen was recorded. ② Test of struggling to tear off rubberized cloth: 0.5 cm2 medical rubberized cloth was adhered to the ventral of anterior claws of rats, and then rats were sent to the observing box to record the time of tearing off rubberized cloth. 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after operation were the observing time points. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Times of holding rats on the net screen and tearing off the rubberized cloth of rats with focal cerebral is chemia.RESULTS: ① Time of muscular strength test of rats in ischemia group and ischemic medication group was shorter than that of rats in sham operation group, and there was significant difference [3 days after operation:(54±4), (20±5) and (21±4) s in sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P ＜ 0.01]. Holding time was longer in ischemic medication group than that in ischemia group, and there was significant difference [28 days after operation: (51±5) and (54±5) s in ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P ＜ 0.05]. ②Time of tearing off the rubberized cloth was longer in ischemia group and ischemic medication group than that in sham operation group, and there was significant difference [3 days after operation: (47±9), (188±20) and (172±22) s in sham operation group, ischemia group and ischemic medication group respectively, P ＜ 0.01]. The time in ischemic medication group was shorter than that in ischemia group, and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Chlorimipramine has great effect on the recovery of muscular strength after focal cerebral ischemia, but has poor effect on sense and refined motor function, which is in coincidence with the poor recovery of refined motor function of limbs after hemiplegia.

BACKGROUND:Mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1) is one of the important molecules to maintain the mitochondrial calcium homeostasis. The regulation of MICU1 to mitochondrial calcium homeostasis may play an important role in diabetic cardiomyopathy, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To construct a lentiviral vector carrying MICU1 gene to transfect H9C2 cel s, and then to assess MICU1 level in H9C2 cel s thereby establishing a platform for researching the occurrence and development of diabetic cardiomyopathy at a cel ular level.
METHODS:DNA fragments of MICU1 were amplified by PCR, cleaved with Spe I, EcoR I and cloned into the lentiviral vector pRRLsin.CMV.eGFP to construct pRRLsin.CMV.MICU1-eGFP vector. 293T cel s were co-transfected with recombined pCMVDR8.91 and pCMV-VSVG to produce pRRLsin.CMV.MICU1-eGFP lentiviral viruses, and then used to infect H9C2 cel s. mRNA and protein expressions of MICU1 in the transfected H9C2 cel s were evaluated by real-time PCR and western blot assay. Mitochondrial calcium level in Rhod-2-stained H9C2 cel s was tested under confocal microscope.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The recombinant inducible lentiviral vector containing MICU1 gene was successful y constructed. 293T could express green fluorescent protein with increased MICU1 level after pRRLsin.CMV.MICU1-eGFP transfection. The mRNA and protein expressions of MICU1 in the infected H9C2 group were obviously up-regulated compared with the other groups. MICU1 could remarkably improve the mitochondrial calcium level under Rhod-2 staining. These results show that pRRLsin.CMV.MICU1-eGFP lentiviral viruses are efficient to transfect H9C2 cel s, which wil be powered to lay a foundation for the immortalized cel line establishment.

BACKGROUND:Acute myeloid leukemia after liver transplantation is a rare complication with high mortality. OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical features of acute myeloid leukemia after liver transplantation. METHODS:One case of acute promyelocytic leukemia after liver transplantation was reported, and literatures were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Case presentation was post-odontectomy bleeding with associative abnormal coagulation test at 85 months after liver transplantation. Routine blood test, bone marrow test and chromosome analysis and examination diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia and promyelocytic leukemia/RARαpositive chimeric gene, and clearly diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia combined with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The patient received fresh frozen plasma transfusion to correct the abnormal coagulation, and then received induction chemotherapy with retinoic acid, arsenic trioxide and daunorubicin to obtain bone marrow complete remission. The patient was treated with daunorubicin combined with cytarabine and mitoxantrone combined with cytarabine regimens after remission induction to consolidate the chemotherapy for two courses of treatment, and then subsequently subjected to arsenous acid chemotherapy, and the bone marrow was sustained for remission. During chemotherapy, the dose and type of immunosuppressive agents were adjusted, and the patient had stable liver function without serious infection or complications. The results indicate that acute myeloid leukemia is common and often occurs after liver transplantation. When the patient displays hematological abnormality, acute promyelocytic leukemia should be considered. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the mortality.
