Forty-five healthy male dogs were wounded with high or middle-velocity steel ball on the lower part of the face.and the findings were as follows:(1)Craniocerebral injuries concomitant with maxillofacial gunshot wounds were charcterized by brain contusion in the entry side of the temporal lobe and extradural hemorrhage in the entry side of the middle cranial fossa,and their highest incidence and severity were found in those cases with mandible fracture due to high-velocity missiles.(2)The larger the amount of the absorbed energy from the bullet,the higher the incidence and severity of the craniocerebral injury.(3)The incidence and severity of the craniocerebral injury were positively correlated to the value of vibrational acceleration measured on the pareital bones,which suggests that vibrational acceleration plays an important role in the precipitation of craniocerebral injury secondary to maxillofacial gunshot wounds.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of labeling iris pigment epithelial(IPE)cells of rabbits with 5-(and 6-)carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester(CFSE). Methods Enzyme-assisted microdissection was used to isolate the cultured rabbit′s IPE cells.The third or forth subcultured IPE cells were incubated with 2.5,5,10,20,and 40 ?mol/L of CFSE for 1,5,and10min respectively.The fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry,and the leakage of CFSE and its dyeing were observed by fluorescence antibody labeling. Results Incubation with 20 ?mol/L CFSE under 37℃for1minute was the most optimal condition for IPE cells labeling.The coloration of IPE cells stained by CFSE lasted 4 weeks.There was no leakage of dye from labeled rabbit IPE cells to non-labeled human IPE cells in mixed culture process. Conclusion With the advantages of high rate of dyeing,long time of tracing,safety and convenience,CFSE can be used as a new method to label the rabbit′s IPE cells.

To explore the roles of astrocytes in the epileptogenesis, astrocytes and neurons were isolated, purified and cultured in vitro from cerebral cortex of rats. The astrocytes were activated by ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and astrocytic conditioned medium (ACM) was collected to treat neurons for 4, 8 and 12 h. By using Western blot, the expression of calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMK II), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and adenylate cyclase (AC) was detected in neurons. The results showed that the expression of CaMK II, iNOS and AC was increased significantly in the neurons treated with ACM from 4 h to 12 h (P<0.05), and that of iNOS and AC peaked at 8 h and 12 h respectively. It was suggested that there might be some epileptogenic factors in the ACM and such signal pathways as NOS-NO-cGMP, Ca2+/CaM-CaMK II and AC-cAMP-PKA might take part in the signal transduction of epileptogenesis.

Objective:To evaluate the role of autophagy in reduction of high glucose and hypoxia-reoxygenation (HG+ H/R) injury to isolated cardiomyocytes by dexmedetomidine in rats.Methods:The normally cultured rat H9c2 cardiomyocytes at the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 1×10 6 cells/ml and divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), group HG+ H/R, dexmedetomidine group (group DEX) and dexmedetomidine+ autophagy inhibitor 3-methylpurine group (group 3-MA). The cells were incubated in culture medium with 1% fetal bovine serum + 1% double antibody for 24 h when the cell density reached 50%.To establish HG+ H/R injury model, the cardiomyocytes were cultured in high-glucose culture medium (glucose concentration of 33 mmol/L) for 24 h, and then incubated in a 37 ℃ incubator (95% N 2+ 5%CO 2) for 4 h followed by reoxygenation (90%O 2+ 10%CO 2) for 2 h. Dexmedetomidine was added until the final concentration reached 5 μmol/L at 1 h before hypoxia in DEX and 3-MA groups, and 3-MA was added until the final concentration reached 5 μmol/L at 1 h of incubation with dexmedetomidine.At 2 h after reoxygenation, the cell viability was recorded by the cell counting kit-8 assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was detected by LDH kit, the expression of autophagy-related protein LC3, P62 and Beclin-1 was detected by Western Blot, the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰwas calculated, and the expression of P62 and Beclin-1 mRNA was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results:Compared with group C, the cell viability was significantly decreased in HG+ H/R, DEX and 3-MA groups, LDH activity in the supernatant was increased and expression of P62 was decreased in HG+ H/R and 3-MA groups, ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰwas decreased in group 3-MA, and the expression of Beclin-1 was down-regulated in group HG+ H/R ( P<0.05). Compared with HG+ H/R group, LDH activity in the supernatant was significantly decreased, expression of Beclin-1, P62 and its mRNA was up-regulated, and ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰwas increased in DEX group, and LDH activity in the supernatant was increased in group 3-MA ( P<0.05). Compared with DEX group, cell viability were decreased, LDH activity in the supernatant was increased, Beclin-1, P62 and its mRNA was down-regulated, and ratio of LC3Ⅱ/ LC3Ⅰwas decreased in group 3-MA ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Autophagy is involved in the reduction of HG+ H/R injury to isolated cardiomyocytes by dexmedetomidine in rats.

Whether transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) induces apoptosis of human trabecular meshwork cells was investigated in vitro. Cultured 3-5 passage human trabecular meshwork cells were treated with 0 (control), 0.32, 1, 3.2 ng/ml TGF-beta2 for 48 h and divided into control group and experimental group. The apoptosis of human trabecular meshwork cells was examined by transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL technique and flow cytometry. The results showed characteristic morphologic changes of apoptotic cells were observed under transmission electron microscopy. DNA fragmentation of human trabecular meshwork cells was found by TUNEL technique. Quantitative analysis of flow cytometry showed that percentages of apoptotic human trabecular meshwork cells were (2.79 +/- 0.44)%, (4.43 +/- 1.17)% and (9.60 +/- 2.05)% respectively with different concentrations [1 ng/ml (P<0.05), 3.2 ng/ml (P<0.01)] of TGF-beta2 with the difference being significant between experimental group and control group [(1.41 +/- 0.34)%]. It was concluded that TGF-beta2 can induce apoptosis of human trabecular meshwork cells in vitro and may be involved in the decrease of trabecular meshwork cells in the patients with primary open angle glaucoma and aging of normal people.

To explore the effect of coriaria lactone (CL)-activated astrocyte-conditioned medium on the cerebral TNF-alpha of normal rats, the CL-activated astrocyte-conditioned medium (ACM) was injected into the lateral ventricle of SD rats. The rats were observed for behavioral changes, and the changes of the expression of TNF-alpha in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were immunohistochemically examined by employing SP method. TNF-alpha level was assessed by means of radioimmunoassay in homogenate of cerebral cortex and hippocampus as well as cerebrospinal fluid. Seizure episodes were observed in ACM group 30 min after the ACM injection, but they were not observed in the control group. Immunohistochemical detection showed that the immunoreaction of TNF-alpha in hippocampus and cerebral cortex of rats were stronger than that of the control group 4 h after the ACM injection (P<0. 05). In this group, the concentrations of TNF-alpha in homogenate of cerebral cortex and hippocampus and cerebrospinal fluid were higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). It is suggested that the ACM activated by CL can enhance the expression of TNF-alpha in normal rats, and is related to epileptogenesis.

Whether cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells and trabecular tissue ex vivo express insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein was investigated. Total RNA of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells as well as trabecular meshwork tissue freshly excised from bovine eyes was extracted, and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect IGF-I mRNA. RT-PCR product was verified by sequencing. Immunohistochemical stain was used to detect IGF-I protein. The results showed that a single PCR amplified product was obtained, and the sequence was homologous to the known sequence.. IGF-I immunostain was positive in the cytoplasm of trabecular meshwork cells. It was concluded that trabecular meshwork cells produce IGF-I and contribute to the presence of IGF-I in trabecular meshwork microenvironment as well as aqueous humor. Trabecular meshwork cells were affected by IGF-I not only through paracrine, but also autocrine action. Whether abnormal down-regulations in IGF-I production may contribute to the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma and the possibility of promoting the autocrine action of IGF-I by trabecular meshwork cells to treat the disease is worth further investigation.
