Objective To investigate the effect of BQ-123 on the ability of learning and memory and nerve cell autophagy in hippocam-pus in rats with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, SAH model group (SAH group) and BQ-123 group with 24 rats in each group. SAH model was established by injecting the autologous blood into cisterna magna twice. The sham group was not injected blood. BQ-123 group received intracerebroventricular injection with BQ-123 18μg 30 minutes before modeling. 6, 24, 72 and 144 hours after modeling, the passive avoidance latency (PAL) and active avoidance reaction rate (AARR) were tested with Shutter Box Test, the nerve cell morphological changes of hippocampus were observed with HE staining, and the expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II were detected with immunohistochemical staining. Results Compared with the sham group, the PAL pro-longed, the AARR decreased (P<0.05), the nerve cells in the hippocampus reduced (P<0.05), and the expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II in-creased (P<0.05) in SAH group. Compared with SAH group, PAL shortened (P<0.05), AARR increased (P<0.05), the nerve cells in the hip-pocampus increased (P<0.05), and the expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-II increased (P<0.05) in BQ-123 group. Conclusion BQ-123 can promote the recovery of learning and memory ability, which may relate to the activation of nerve cell autophagy in the hippocampus.

Objective To explore the regulation of PI3K-mTOR signaling pathways on autophagy of hippocampus nerve cells after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)in rats.Methods We randomly divided 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats into sham group,SAH model group and LY294002 group with 24 rats in each group.We established SAH model with the secondary injection of blood method while the sham group was not injected with blood.PI3K signaling pathways specific inhibitor LY294002 was injected with 500μmol per rat 30 minutes before modeling.After 6,24,72 and 144 h morphologic changes of hippocampus CA1 neural cells were observed by microscopy;the expression levels of PI3K,mTOR,Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ were detected by immunohistochemical method.Results The density of survival neurons in the SAH group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05),PI3K-mTOR signaling pathways were activated obviously,and the expressions of Beclin 1 and LC3-Ⅱ were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05 ).The number of survival neurons significantly decreased in the LY294002 group compared with the SAH group at each time point (P<0.05),PI3K-mTOR signaling pathways were suppressed.The expressions of Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ were significantly lower than those in the SAH group (P<0.05).Conclusion PI3K-mTOR signaling pathways protect neurons by activating the autophagy of neurons after SAH.

Objective Disorder of intestinal barrier function is associated with the non-alcohol fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) . The present paper aimed to explore the intestinal barrier function in the rat model of NAFLD . Methods Sixteen SD rats were ran-domly divided into an NAFLD and a normal control group of equal number .The NAFLD models were constructed by high-fat feeding . HE staining was used for pathologic examination of the liver , the levels of TNF-α, IL-1, and endotoxin (ET ) were measured by ELISA and the limulus reagent method , and the expressions of intestinal ZO-1 and Occluding were determined by real time PCR . Resu lts Compared with the normal controls , the NAFLD rats showed typical hepatic lipid deposition , with significantly increased levels of serum TNF-αand IL-1 and plasma ET and decreased expressions of intestinal ZO-1 and Occluding (P<0.05). Conclusion Intestinal barrier function is decreased in NAFLD rats .

Objective To investigate caspase 3 in the apoptosis of EJ cells in bladder carcinoma induced by mitomycin C(MMC). Methods The apoptosis and changes in cell cycle were examined by means of TUNEL and flow cytometry. The ability of caspase 3 antibody to resist apoptosis induced by a low dose of mitomycin was also studied. Results The typical characteristics of apoptosis were observed in EJ cells treated with low dose of mitomycin and the apoptotic index (AI) was (62.9? 2.2 )%, being much higher than that in the group treated combinedly with caspase 3 antibody and MMC(4.9?0.3)% and in the controls (2.7?0.7)%, P

Objective Mobile operating compartment with overpressure protection can provide a safety environment for the patients and the surgical team by minimizing the risk of biochemical contamination through appropriate air filtration, steady overpressure foundation and air distribution scheme. Methods The air movement and the temperature distribution inside the mobile operating compartment with the overpressure protection performance were simulated by the technique of computational fluid dynamics(CFD), the air pattern and the temperature distribution were analyzed. Results The air velocity was under 0.5m/s in the most zone of person activity and the air velocity were distributed uniformly in the mobile operating compartment under the condition of the overpressure protection system. The obvious temperature gradient didn't exist in the vertical plane of the mobile operating compartment. The temperature distribution in the mobile operating compartment was quite uniform and the temperature was almost at 27℃ with the temperature difference of almost 2℃. Conclusion The human thermal comfort is good in the mobile operating compartment and the environment in the mobile operating compartment can satisfy requirements of the operation.
