Objective To study the effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) on Aβ-induced oxidative stress by regulating NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) expression and its mechanism.Methods Rat astrocytes were divided into Aβ group,DMF group,Nrf2 group and Nrf2 +DMF group.Expressions of Nrf2,Nqo1,Ho-1,Keap1 mRNA and HDAC were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The expression levels of Nrf2,Nqo1 and HO-1 mRNA were significantly lower in Nrf2 group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and DMF group (P<0.05) and were significantly higher in DMF group than in Aβ group (P<0.05) while the expression level of Keap1 mRNA was significantly lower in DMF group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and Nrf2 group (P<0.05).The expression level of HDAC was significantly lower in DMF group and Nrf2+DMF group than in Aβ group and Nrf2 group (6.41±0.43 vs 9.01±1.54,P<0.05;6.72±0.30 vs 8.76± 0.74,P<0.05).Conclusion DMF increases the Nrf2 expression by inhibiting the HDAC expression,thus reducing Aβ-induced oxidative stress in rat astrocytes.

Objective To observe the concentration effects of alcohol in perineurial block on the structure and function of sciatic nerve and it's innervated muscles in rats so as to provide the basis for clinical application of chemical neurolysis.Methods One hundred and fifty female Sprague-Dawley rats were used and randomly assigned into a blank group(BG,n =6),a control group(CG,n =36),a 50% alcohol group(50G,n =36),a 75% alcohol group(75G,n =36)and a 99.9% alcohol group(99.9G,n =36).The CG received physiological saline injection,the 50G,75G,99.9G received corresponding concentrations alcohol perineurial block,respectively.Changes of motor function was assessed,electrophysiological and histomorphological observations of sciatic nerve and its innervated muscles were conducted before and at 24 h,72 h,1 week,4 week,12 week after block.Results(① Hypokinesia and decrease of motor conduction velocity(MCV)were observed at 24 h after block,and peaked at 72 h after block; at 1 week after block,the motor function and MCV improved,the improvement persisted to the 12th week (P < 0.05); but at the 12th week,MCV was still slower than that before block(P < 0.01).②There were significant differences with regard to motot function and MCV of sciatic nerve among 99.9G and the other groups at e ery time point after block(P <0.05); ③ Reversible dengeneration of sciatic nerve and hind limb muscle,nonreversible necrosis of muscle occurred more seriously with the increase of alcohol concentration,and the cicatrization in 99.9G was more obvious than that in 50G and 75G at the 12th week; ④Structural lesion of sciatic nerve occurred at 24 h after block and peaked at the 72th h,myelinated axonal sprouts appeared at 1 week after block and persisted to the 12th weck.Conclusions ① The effects of 99.9 % alcohol perineural block on the structural lesion,motor function and MCV of sciatic nerve and its related muscle were more obvious than those of 50% and 75% alcohol; ② The destructive effect of alcohol block would maintain more than 12 week and neural restoration would maintain more than 12 weeks too.

A method for the analysis of five types of triphenylmethane dye residues in water was developed by using solid phase extraction ( SPE) combined with ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS/MS ) . The water samples were extracted and cleaned with mixed-mode cation exchange solid-phase extraction cartridges ( MCX) . The UPLC separation was performed on a C18 column with a linear gradient elution program of acetonitrile and 5 mmol/L aqueous ammonium acetate ( containing 0. 02% formic acid) as mobile phase. Triphenylmethane dye residues were analyzed by mass spectrometry under an electrospray ionization interface ( ESI ) in positive ion mode with MRM-IDA-EPI mode. The calibration curves of five types of triphenylmethane dyes were linear in the range of 0. 02-20 μg/L, and the correlation coefficients were not less than 0. 998. The recoveries at spiked levels of 5 , 10 and 20 μg/L were in the range of 70 . 9%-101%, and the RSDs were 3 . 4%-11 . 9% ( n=6 ) . The limit of detection and quantification were 0. 42-2. 18 ng/L and 1. 68-8. 73 ng/L, respectively. The method was performed as sensitive and accurate, and also suitable for simultaneous determination of five types of triphenylmethane dye residues in water.

Objective To construct a plasmid DNA encoding G glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) and investigate the protective immune response against RSV infection. Methods Recombinant plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was constructed by standard RT-PCR based cloning procedure. The immunogenicity of recombinant G protein transiently expressed in HEK293 cells was detected by Western blot. BABL/c mice were intramuscularly immunized with pcDNA3.1~G. Samples of lung, sera, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were collected before and after RSV challenge; virus titer in lung was detected by viral titration; sections of paraffin embedding lung tissues were stained by haematoxylin and eosin(HE) for histological analyses; sera anti-RSV IgG levels were examined by ELISA; Th1/Th2 cytokine were detected by ELISA kit, the T lymphocyte subsets of BALF was determined by immunefluorescence staining followed by flow cytometry. Results Plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was successfully constructed. The expressed target protein possesses immunogenicity. After challenge, pcDNA3.1~G immunized mice presented relieved pathological changes in lung as well as reduced lung viral titers. The RSV specific IgG was detected in sera of immunized mice. There was significantly increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cells in mice BALF. Conclusion We constructed a pcDNA3.1~G plasmid DNA vaccination which can induce evident protective cellular immunity against RSV infection in mice with the increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cell subpopulation.

Nonalcoholic fatty pancreatic disease (NAFPD) is defined as pancreatic fat deposition associated with obesity in the absence of significant drinking, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. NAFPD is closely associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), type 2 diabetes, pancreatitis, pancreatic tumor, and pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenal surgery and can promote the spread of pancreatic cancer cells and result in the early death of patients with pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis and evaluation of NAFPD mainly rely on pathological biopsy and imaging examination, but their clinical application is limited by detection techniques and diagnostic level. Major prevention and treatment methods for NAFPD include a reduction in body weight, bariatric surgery, and pharmacotherapy. Since there are few articles on NAFPD and it is not taken seriously in clinical practice, there are significant differences in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Therefore, this article elaborates on the current status of research on NAFPD and the advances in its diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To analyze the changes in peripheral blood monocyte subpopulations in patients with primary, secondary and latent syphilis. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect CD14highCD16- and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood from 58 patients with untreated syphilis, including 36 cases of latent syphilis,8 cases of primary syphilis and 14 cases of secondary syphilis, as well as from 65 normal human controls. Restflts Compared with the normal controls, the proportion of CD14+CD16+ monocytes among total monocytes was significantly elevated (12.0% ± 5.0% vs 6.0% ± 3.3%, t = 7.25, P < 0.01), while that of CD14highCD16- monocytes was down-regulated (88.0% ± 5.1% vs 94.0% ± 3.5%, t = -7.20, P < 0.01). No statistical difference was observed in the proportion of CD14+CD16+ or CD14hhighCD16- monocytes among the patients with primary syphilis, secondary syphilis and those with latent syphilis (all P > 0.05). Conclusions The changes in peripheral blood monocyte subpopulation in patients with untreated syphilis may be associated with the permanent infection of Treponema pallidum, but have no obvious correlation with clinical stage of syphilis.
