2.Nuclear Factor-κB,Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Cerebral Infarction
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(6):469-472
Nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB),a transcription factor,which widely exists in neuron,neuroglial cell and vascular endothelial cell.It mainly participates in the inflammatory reaction,apoptosis,immunological reaction and other stress reaction of the body.It is considered as an initiation factot of vascular endothelial cell injury.Cytokines.such as tumor necrosis factor-α may promote the inflammatory cascade reaction in cerebral infarction,and may also play an important role in cerebral ischemic injury.

OBJECTIVE: To study the possible pathway of the effect of musk on brain disorder, distributing into the brain through blood brain barrier. METHODS: We used the musk ketone (muscone), a main composition of musk, to inject through the tail vein of the rats into the blood and took the brain and other organs at different times to make samples. Then gas chromatography was used to measure the distribution of muscone in the brain and other organs. RESULTS: Muscone could pass through the normal rat's blood brain barrier into the brain and soon reached the highest peak and remained in higher concentration, and more slowly metabolized as compared with other organs. CONCLUSION: Musk distributing into the brain through blood brain barrier provides the basis for its effect in treating brain disorders. Chromatography is an effective method to study the active composition of Chinese herbal medicine distributing through the blood brain barrier into the brain.

Objective To investigate the effect of metformin ( MET) on learning and memory behavior in HFD-induced insulin-resistant rats.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into three groups to receive either a normal diet (Control group) or a high-fat diet (two HFD groups) for four weeks(HFD+MET).From two HFD groups, one received vehicle ( HFD group ) alone and other MET administration ( HFD+MET group ) .MET was dissolved in drinking water at a concentration of 2 mg/ml.All rats were subjected to the glucose tolerance test ( GTT) and behavioral tests using the elevated plus maze ( EPM ) , open field test ( OFT ) , Morris water maze ( MWM ) test and the step-through passive avoidance test ( PA) after four-week consecutive MET treatment .Blood samples were collected for determination of glucose. Results MET attenuated the glucose resistant condition and improved cognitive behavior in MWM and PA, vs the HFD group. Conclusion MET can improve the impaired learning and memory behavior in HFD-induced insulin-resistant rats.

Objective To explore the mechanism of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) via observing the change of mitochondria in IUGR placenta. Methods Placenta samples were collected from 30 singleton pregnancies at the time of elec-tive caesarean section. Fifteen of them were appropriate for gestational age and 15 were IUGR. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy, DNA copies were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and membrane potential was assayed by lfow cytometry. Results Signiifcant morphological changes of placental mitochondria were observed under transmission electron microscopy in IUGR, mitochondrial DNA copies in IUGR placenta were signiifcantly increased (P<0.01) and membrane potential decreased dramatically (P<0.01). Conclusions It is suggest that impaired mitochondrial function in IUGR may involve in IUGR pathogenesis.

AIM: This study is to detail its possible mechanisms that homocysteine (Hcy) induces injury of cultured endothelial cells.METHODS: Hcy in sequential concentrations was added into the cultured human umbilial vein endothelial cells for 24 hours in serum-free medium. The lipid peroxidation, release of LDH, cell total protein content, cell apoptosis and necrosis were assessed. RESULTS: Hcy increased the apoptosis of endothelial cells.In high Hcy concentration the cells also showed obvious injurious and necrotic morphological changes. Lipid peroxidation increased, with LDH releasing up and cell total protein content down, and they showed a positive dose-effect relationship with the Hcy concentration. All the above effects of Hcy was strengthened by low density lipoprotein (LDL) which may suggest synergetic effects of Hcy and LDL.CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that Hcy has a strong oxidizing effect, which may be one of its major mechanism for injury of EC.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of lidocaine on female patients during urinary catheterization.Methods A literature search was conducted in following databases as the Cochrane Library,EMbase,PubMed,CBM,CNKI,VIP,and Wanfang data.All included RCTs were screened and assessed according to the standard of Cochrane systematic review.The data were analyzed by RevMan 5.0 software.Results A total of 11 RCTs were included,involving 737 patients in the experimental group,666 patients in the control group.The results of Meta-analysis showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in the pain caused by intubation,one-time success rate of intubation,and agitation rate in anesthesia recovery period.Conclusions Using lidocaine for female patients before catheterization may reduce the pain,increase the one-time success rate of intubation,and reduce agitation rate in anesthesia recovery period.The results still need to be confirmed by more high-quality and large-sample RCTs.

Objective Beagle dogs were subjected to hemorrhagic shock plus resuscitation and endotoxiemia (two-hit) to set up multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) model. In the study, this model can be used to monitor the responses of organ compensation and in compensation. Method Seven male Beagle dogs, weight ( 15 ± 2) kg, were provided by animal experiment centre of Xinjiang Medical University. MODS model was set up in 7 Beagle dogs. Hemorrhagic shock was produced according to the method of Wigger. After the resuscitation,Escherichia coli endotoxin was given via the femoral vein at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg. The criteria of MODS were defined as the presence of two or more of organ dysfunction. Clinical biochemical values were examined before making model and 0 h,3 h,6 h,9 h, 12 h after the establishment of model. The pathological change of the liver and the kidney were observed under the light microscopy. Results Significant differences of WBC,PaO2,LP,ALT, AST,Cr and BUN were observed after the establishment of model compared with those before the establishment of model ( P < 0.05). Severe pathological lesions were observed in tissues of the liver and kidney. Conclusions Hemorrhagic shock and endotoxemia,a two-hit method, can be used to set up a delayed animal model for MODS to study the responses of organ dysfunction caused by ischemic and infectious diseases.

Objective To understand the functional exercise situation of the total hip arthroplasty(THA)patients in hospital. Methods Using self-designed functional exercise in patients with TKA outline the structure of observation, observation and collection of Orthopedic Surgery,71 cases (91 hips)received THA in patients with relevant information. Results After the former 3d,22.5% of patients did not exercise;After 14 d continuous passive motion (CPM) ,hip joint exercises were separately accounted for 71.8% and 81.7% ,and static muscle contraction,straight leg raising were accounted for 40.8 percent and 81.7 percent. The four exercise started lately, training methods were not standardized the patients, insisted on a shorter time;single-and double-hip replacement hip replacement in patients with Shimoji routing practice started time respectively, after (6.51 ± 2.90 ) d and ( 10.30 ± 3.21 ) d. In the functional exercise process,CPM was assisted by nurse,in other exercises was assisted by retaining workers and patients families. Conclusion THA patients hospitalized during the actual exercise of the number,frequency,timing and methods vary, nursing staff should be further explored how to ensure that patients really effective rehabilitation exercise to further enhance the effect of patients with rehabilitation exercises.
