BACKGROUND:After cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury,as a executioner caspase, procaspase-3 and caspase-3-like activity increased significantly. We observe both the dephosphorylated and phosphorylated procaspase-3, and try to find out their variations during the processes of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.OBJECTIVE:Observe the expression of procaspase-3 in hippocampus following transient forebrain ischemia.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled experiment.DEPARTMENT:Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology,Capital University of Medical Sciences.SETTING:Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital University of Medical Sciences.METHODS:Transient forebrain ischemia was induced by bilateral common carotid occlusion (BCCAO) for 20 minutes. Hippocampus was obtained at reperfusion time points of 6 hours, 12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours respec-tively after 20 minutes of BCCAO. Sham-operated group did not occlude bi-lateral common carotid, and hippocampus was obtained at reperfusion time point of 24 hours. Western Blotting was used to detect the level of procaspase-3.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The comparison of total procaspase-3,dephosphorylated procaspase-3 and phosphorylated procaspase-3 level in hippocampus between each group.3 level: Total procaspase-3 level increased in hippocampus at reperfusion time points of 12 hours and 24 hours post-BCCAO (9 133.1 ±2 216.3,dephosphorylated procaspase-3 level increased in hippocampus at reperfusion time point of 24 hours post-BCCAO (7812.0±1625.1, 3825.8±155.6, P was not significant (P ＞ 0.05) as compared with the expression levels in sham-operated mice.CONCLUSION: Procaspase-3 is upregulated after ischemia/reperfusion.The increment of dephosphorylated form of procaspase-3 was higher than that of phosphorylated form of procaspase-3 upon cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, which indicates that cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury possibly induced the dephosphorylation of procaspase-3 and promoted its transforming into activated form.

OBJECTIVE: Superoxide dismutase is one of the families of enzymes which is ubiquitous, and efficiently catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide anions.There are three superoxide dismutases in human brain that are of benefit to ischemic damage. In recent years, transgenic and knockout mutant mice has been widely used in the researches of superoxide dismutases for its protective effect in cerebral ischemia.DATA SOURCES: Using the terms "Chan PH and superoxide dismutase and cerebral ischemia", the relative articles published in the English from January 1991 to December 2003, were identified by searching the MEDLINE database with computer.STUDY SELECTION: The trials with transgenic and knockout mutant mice were identified preliminarily, then all remainders were searched in full content and were divided into intervention group and controlled group, the random cases were accepted, non-random excluded.DATA EXTRACTION: A total of 38 fully studies related to cerebral ischemia and superoxide dismutase were collected, among them, 13 random cases were accepted, and 25 excluded which included 15 repeated studies and 10 irrelevant studies.DATA SYNTHESIS: Reactive oxygen species involved in redox signaling pathways in ischemic cerebral, it can also cause oxidative damage of some macromolecules cell such as lipids, proteins and neucleic acid. In the ischemic brain tissue, overproduced oxygen radicals and consumption of superoxide dismutases lead to tissue damage. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, manganese superoxide dismutase and extracellular superoxide dismutase have the same function which can decompose superoxide anion radicals to form H2O2 that are scavenged further, thereby ameliorate edema formation,infarction and cell death, improve the function of ischemic cerebral tissue further.CONCLUSION: Increased oxygen free radicals is an important mechanism in ischemic cerebral damage, all three SOD can ameliorate cerebral ischemia. The protect effect of three superoxide dismutase is related to DNA repairing enzyme, transcription factor, apoptosis proteins and signal transduction pathway.

It has been demonstrated that certain members of cyclophilins (CyP) family are related to tomurigenesis, which might result from the role for Cyp in cell proliferation. Most members of Cyp family express specifically in tumor tissue in contrast to in normaltissue and cancer-brink tissue. It is possible that a novel approach to cancer therapy and diagnosis would be appeared through exploring the relationship between Cyp and tumor.

Recurrence after surgery for common bile duct stones has not been solved properly,and recurrence of calculi often requires reoperation,which brings patients great pain and economic burden.Various risk factors may mediate the recurrence of common bile duct stones,including biliary tract infection,bile duct stenosis,cholangiectasis,cholestasis,Oddi sphincter dysfunction,abnormal bile composition,and surgical procedure.These risk factors are analyzed and related preventive measures are summarized.Current research findings show that prevention and treatment of risk factors for recurrence of calculi can reduce the recurrence rate of calculi and play an important role in preventing the recurrence of common bile duct stones.

The experiments were designed to study the relation between endotoxamia and renal insufficiency and the protective effects of RSM on galactosamine-induced acute hepatic failure. The results indicated that galactosamine-treated rats which all accompanied with endotoxamia exhibited significant renal dysfunction (Per, BUN elevated; UV, Ccr, U_(Na)V fell; FE_(H2O), FE_(Na) enhanced). After treatment of RSM, the endotoxemia was reduced while renal functions were improved. It suggested that there was a close relationship between endotoxemia and renal insufficiency. The experiment proved that the endotoxin was an important factor in the occurance and development of HRS. RSM possessed marked preventive and theraputic effects for HRS. In addition, the model of galactosamine-induced hepatic failure could be used to study the pathogenesis, prevention and therapy of HRS simultaneously.
