Objective To investigate the protective effect of carnosine on Glutamate induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells and its mechanism. Methods The injury model was established by treating SH-SY5Y cells with glutamate in vitro.Inverted microscope was used to observe cell morphology. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, and changes in nucleus were detected by Hoechst33258 staining under fluorescence microscopy.The cell apoptosis rates were measured by flow cytometry.The reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) level in cells was detected by fluorescent probe CDFH-DA. Results Compared with normal control group, the cell viability in glutamate group decreased (P<0.01), the morphology changes of cell apoptosis such as karyopyknosis and split were observed by Hoechst33258 staining, while the apoptosis rate and the level of ROS were increased (P<0.01). Compared with glutamate group, the cell viability of carnosine 0.6,3,15 mmol/L groups obviously increased(P<0.01), while the morphology changes of cell apoptosis significantly improved, the apoptosis rate and the level of ROS were obviously reduced ( P<0.01 ) .Compared with normal control group, the cell viability, the morphology changes and the apoptosis rate did not significantly change in carnosine group.The level of ROS was reduced, but there was no statistically significant difference between two groups.Conclusion Carnosine has apparent protective effect on apoptosis of SH-SY5Y cells injury induced by glutamate.The mechanism may be related to carnosine prevent the occurrence of oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of progressive hemorrhagic injury (PHI) after traumatic brain injury. Methods The medical records of 127 patients with traumatic brain injury (n=49 in PHI group and n=78 in non-PHI group) were reviewed. The relationship between PHI and influencing factors including sex, age, Glasgow coma scale, time from injury to first CT, traumatic subaraehnoid hemorrhage (tSAH), prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) was analyzed. Results The time for first CT was(1.39± 1.27) h in PHI group and (2.91±1.85) h in non-PHI group (t=2.14, P<0.05). 35 cases of PHI group developed tSAH and 37 of non-PHI group developed tSAH (χ2=7.06, P<0.05). Multifactor Logistic regression analysis showed that the time for first brain CT after injury and the patients accompanied with tSAH were associated with PHI after traumatic brain injury (OR=0.558,95 % CI 0.329-0.946, OR=13.000,95 % CI 1.187-142.354, P<0.05 for each). Conclusions Time from injury to first CT and tSAH can be prognostic factors for PHI.
