AIM:To observe the protective effect of allitridi on hippocampal neuron of rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and to investigate its effects on P53 expression in hippocampus.METHODS: The global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion models were established by 4-vessel occlusion. Allitridi at doses of 10, 20 or 30 mg/kg was injected through rat’s tail vein, half dose at 30 min before brain ischemia and another half dose at 10 min after reperfusion were injected, respectively. The hippocampus of rat was removed 24 h after reperfusion. Toluidine blue staining was applied to estimate morphologic changes. Flow cytometry was used to evaluate neuronal apoptosis rate of hippocampus. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expression of P53 protein.RESULTS: Compared with sham group, survival neuronal density in I/R group was significantly depressed. The rate of neuronal apoptosis and the expression of P53 protein were significantly increased. Allitridi significantly increased the number of survival neurons in hippocampus compared to I/R group. Meanwhile, allitridi remarkably inhibited the rate of neuronal apoptosis and the expression of P53 protein.CONCLUSION: Allitridi has protective role against brain ischemia reperfusion injury. The mechanism may be involved in blocking P53 protein expression in hippocampus of rats with ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To explore the changes of PH values of N,O-CMC/β-TCP compositive materials with different mass fractions in simulated body fluids (SBF)and their influence in the growth of MG63 cells, and to illustrate their mechanisms, and to provide reference for the further research on the bone repair materials. Methods The N,O-CMC/β-TCP with mass fractions of 2/1,1/1 and 1/2 were used as experimental groups,and the collagen nano calcium phosphate bone repair material as control group. The materials with different mass fractions were immersed in SBF and the pH values were measured by pH meter after soaking for 7,14,21 and 28d,respectively.The MG63 cells with the concentration of 1 × 105 mL-1 were inoculated and co-cultured in experimental and control groups,the adhesion and morphological changes of MG63 cells in each group were observed by scanning electron microscope and the cell proliferation was detected by MTT method after co-culturing for 2,4 and 6 d.Results The pH values were 6.70-7.25 in N,O-CMC/β-TCP (1/2)group and N,O-CMC/β-TCP (2/1)groups and the pH value in N,O-CMC/β-TCP (1/1)group was basically 7.15. The cells in N,O-CMC/β-TCP (2/1)group formed owe full,spreading face small and less secretion,but the cells in N,O-CMC/β-TCP 1/2 and 1/1 groups formed in full, pseudopodia interconnection, widely spreading and more secretions under electron microscope. The proliferation rate of the cells in N,O-CMC/β-TCP with (1/1 ) and N,O-CMC/β-TCP (2/1)groups had no statistical difference compared with control group (P>0.05),but there was significant difference between control group and N,O-CMC/β-TCP (1/2)group (P<0.05).Conclusion The changes of pH values of N,O-CMC/β-TCP materials with different mass fractions in SBF are small and the pH values are neutral;the order of the mass fraction of N,O-CMC/β-TCP to promote the growth of MG63 cells is 1/1,2/1,and 1/2.

AIM: To explore the role of NO/ inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the metabotromi glutamate receptor 2/3C (mGluR2/3) mediated-brain ischemic tolerance induced by cerebral ischemic preconditioning (CIP), and to observe the influences of α-methyl- (4-tetrazolyl- phenyl) glycine (MTPG), an antagonist of mGluR2/3, on the expression of iNOS during the induction of brain ischemic tolerance. METHODS: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to four vessel occluding global brain ischemic model. Thionin staining and immunohistochemistry were used for neuropathological evaluation and assay of iNOS expression in the hippocampal CA1 subregion of the rats. RESULTS: In the sham group, weak expression of iNOS was detected. The expression of iNOS in the CIP and CIP+ischemic insult groups were increased significantly compared with that in the sham group. Administration of MTPG via lateral cerebral ventricle 20 min before CIP blocked the up-regulation of iNOS induced by CIP, but had no influence on the pyramidal neuron survival. However, in the MTPG+CIP+ischemic insult group, the expression of iNOS was extremely intensive compared to that in CIP and MTPG+CIP groups. Importantly, this up-regulation was accompanied with obvious delayed neuronal death. CONCLUSION: NO/iNOS pathway plays an important role in the process of mGluR2/3 mediated-brain ischemic tolerance induced by CIP.

Objective To investigate the changes of neuroglobin (Ngb) expression in the CA1 hippocampus after cerebral ischemia and the effect of limb ischemic preconditioning (LIP) on it in young and aged rats. Methods SD rats aged 3 months and 21-23 months with permanently occluding bilateral vertebral arteries were randomly divided into cerebral ischemic group and LIP + cerebral ischemic group, respectively. The expression of Ngb mRNA and protein in the hippocampus were investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot methods. The profile of delayed neuronal death (DND) of pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus CA1 was evaluated by using thionin staining under light microscope by determining the neuronal density (ND) and histological grade (HG). Results Ngb mRNA and protein expressions were 0.16±0.02 and 0.32±0.07, 0.52±0.04 and 0.91±0.06, 0.09±0.01 and 0.22±0.08, 0.21±0.01 and 0.66± 0. 06 in young cerebral ischemia group, LIP + young cerebral ischemia group, aged cerebral ischemia group and LIP + aged cerebral ischemia group, respectively. The expressions of Ngb mRNA and protein after cerebral ischemia for 8 minutes in aged rats were decreased compared with those in the young rats which suffered an identical cerebral ischemia with the aged rats (P<0.05). LIP up-regulated Ngb mRNA and protein expressions in both young and aged rats which suffered cerebral ischemia (P<0.05). However, the up-regulation of Ngb expression in aged rats was significantly less than that in young rats (P<0.05). Neuropathological evaluation showed that ND was 38.8±10.9, 171.5±16.9, 21.2±12.2 and 102.7±15.4 in young cerebral ischemic group, LIP + young cerebral ischemic group, aged cerebral ischemic group and LIP + aged cerebral ischemic group, respectively. It showed that obvious DND of pyramidal neurons was found in young and aged rats after cerebral ischemia. Although LIP effectively protected the pyramidal neurons in the CA1 hippocampus against DND normally induced by ischemic insult, the neuroprotection of LIP for aged rats was less effective than that for young rats. Conclusions The expression of Ngb and the up-regulation effect of LIP on the expression in aged rats are significantly decreased compared to those in young rats when the rats suffer cerebral ischemia. These differences may be one of underlying reasons why the aged rats exhibit severe DND after cerebral ischemia and why the neuroprotective effect of LIP is less in the aged rats than that in the young rats.
