As an energy dependent membrane transporter, P-GP highly expresses in the organs which have the function of barrier and secretory.In the brain, P-GP mainly expresses in the cerebral vascular endothelial cells of blood brain barrier.In the state of brain injury diseases ( such as epilepsy and cerebral ischemia) , P-GP appears in the hippocampus, cortex and striatum of rat brain.At cellular level, it mainly exists in the cerebral vascular endo-thelial cells and also overexpresses in the neurons and glial cells.

AIM:To investigate the effects of Ginkgo biloba extract 761(Egb761)on synaptophysin(SYN)expression in hippocampus of vascular dementia(VD)rats.METHODS:VD rat models,established by repeatedly cerebral ischemia/reperfusion,were randomly divided into two groups:model group and EGb761 treated group(both n=30),and another 30 condition-matched rats were selected as the sham-operated controls.Spatial learning and memory abilities of rats were assessed by Morris water maze(MWM)task,and SYN expression in hippocampal formation of rats in different groups was detected by immunohistochemical technique and image analysis.RESULTS:The MWM escape latency(EL)in model group was highly longer than that in the sham-operated group(P

AIM:To observe the dynamic changes of synapsin I expression and its phosphorylation in hippocampus in vascular dementia(VD)rats.METHODS:Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group(n=40)and VD model group(n=40),and the latter were established by repeatedly clipping the common carotid arteries with an intraperitoneal injection of sodium nitroprusside solution in anesthetized condition.The synaptic ultrastructural changes in hippocampal CA1 region and the expression levels of synapsinⅠ and phosphorylated synapsinⅠin hippocampus were observed by TEM and immunohistochemical staining method respectively in both sham-operated group and VD model group at 15 d,1 month,2 months and 4 months time points.RESULTS:No obviously pathological changes to CA1 area synapse were found in SO group.In model group rats,synaptic circa membrane ambiguity and fusion,synaptic circa membrane structure decreased the postsynaptic density,reduced synaptic vesicles and vesicle cluster.Above pathological changes became gradually severe along with the time prolongation after model-making operation.Compared with sham-operated group,the expression of synapsin I significantly reduced in CA1 region(P0.05)in model group was observed.The number of p-synapsin I positive neurons in DG and hippocampal CA1 region was less in model group than that in sham-operated group(P0.05).CONCLUSION:The damaged synaptic structure and depressed expression of synapsin I and its phosphorylation in presynaptic parts of hippocampus induced by repeatedly cerebral ischemia/reperfusion may contribute to the synaptic transmission disorders,especially the presynaptic disorder which may be one of the important pathogenesis of the initiation and development in vascular dementia rats.

Usage of the fruit and bark of a Melia-family plant as a digestive tract-parasiticide and agricultural insecticide was recorded about two thousant years ago in ancient China. Toosendanin (TSN), a triterpenoid, is an effectual ingredient extracted from the plant. Studies have demonstrated that TSN selectively affects neurotransmitter release, effectively antagonizes botulism, induces cell differentiation and apoptosis and inhibits proliferation of various human cancer cells, inhibits feeding and dovelopment in insects and modifies K+- and Ca2+-channel activity. The research data to demonstrate that TSN inhibits K+-channel and facilitates L-type Ca2+-channel are summarized, and the mechanism of action of TSN is discussed.
