Objective To investigate a simple and dependable approach to establish the hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy model in neonatal rat. Methods Twenty-one neonatal rats of 7 days old were randomly divided into control group,hypoxic group,and hypxic-ischemic group.Every group was randomly divided into 3 hours,6 hours,1 day,3 days,7 days, 14 days,and 21 days group,according to the time of killing.Left common carotid artery of neonatal rats at age of 7 days in hypoxic-ischemic group were ligated.Then,the rats in hypoxic and hypoxic-ischemic group were put in a state of 8% oxygen for 2.5 hours. Brain tissues of rats in 3 groups were observed with HE staining under light microscope.Results In hypoxic-ischemic group,there was found mild brain damage after hypoxic-ischomic 3 hours,the brain lesion was most severe at 1 day,glial cell proliferation was found at 3 days,much neur were losed at 14,21 days,and colloid scar was formed in cortex,striatum and hippocampi.Conclusion The method that left common carotid ontery of neonatal rats were ligated and then put in 8% oxygen for 2.5 hours is simple, rapid and dependable, which can be applied widely.

Objective To investigate the characters of culture of neural stem cells(NSCs) from neonatal rats in different states in vitro.Methods Forty-two neonatal rats at age 7 days were divided randomly into 3 groups as control group,hypoxic group and hypoxic-ischemic group,each having 14 rats.Forteen rats of every group divided randomly into 7 small groups,each including 3 h,6 h,1 d,3 d,(7 d),14 d and 21 d,according to the time to put to death,each having 2 rats.After builting rat models of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy,NSCs from hippocampus in 3 groups were isolated,then cultured,passed,differentiated and differentiated with single cell clone and immunocytochemistry tecnique.Results NSCs in hippocampus from 3 groups were cultured in form of typical neuraospheres in suspension.The cells could be cloned,passed continuously and induced.There were differences among 3 groups when primary NSCs were cultured at 3 h and 6 h time points.But at 1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d and 21 d time points,clony neuraospheres from primary NSCs in hypoxic group were the most among 3 groups while clony neuraospheres from primary NSCs in hypoxic-ischemic group were the lest.Conclusions NSCs from hippocampus of neonatal rats in different states remain to be cultured,meanwhile,NSCs are decreased with increase of age,elongation of illness course and progress of state of an illness.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of perindopril for prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in rabbits.
METHODSA total of 45 male New Zealand white rabbits (10 months old, weight 3.0 to 3.5 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups involving normal control group (muscle injection of saline solution, n = 15, group NC), model group (muscle injection of dexamethasone, n = 15, group GIOP), and treatment group (muscle injection of dexamethasone combined with oral perindopril, n = 15, group GIOP+ACEI). All rabbits put to death after 12 weeks' treatment. The changes of bone mass and strength were observed and analyzed by bone histomorphology, biomechanics, metabolic bone related serological indexes and mRNA expression.
RESULTSAt 12 weeks, the analysis of bone histomorphology and biomechanics results showed that the bone mass and bone strength of group GIOP were significantly lower than that of group NC (P < 0.05); after perindopril treatment, the bone mass and bone strength of group GIOP+ACEI were higher obviously than that of group GIOP (P < 0.05). Mineralizing surface,mineral apposition rate and serum osteocalcin in group GIOP decreased than group NC; however, osteoclast number, osteoclast surface, eroded surface, and urinary deoxypyridinoline in group GIOP increased than group NC (P < 0.05); these changes were inhibited after perindopril treatment (P < 0.05). Quantitative RT-PCR revealed that after dexamethasone treatment, the ratio of SOST mRNS expression and RANKL/OPG mRNA expression obviously increased than that of group NC (P < 0.05); and Runx2 expression decreased significantly (P < 0.05); while the changes of mRNA expression were improved by perindopril treatment.
CONCLUSIONPerindopril can promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption to deduce glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. This study provides a new method for prevention and treatment of GIOP.

OBJECTIVETo study the impact of IFN-gamma on liver fibrosis and its possible mechanism. Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups: fibrosis model group, IFN-gamma treatment group. Experimental liver fibrosis was induced by subcutaneous injection of CCl4. After 12-week-treatment, serum hyalurnic acid and TGF-beta1 was examined, histopathological changes and degrees of fibrosis were observed by optical microscopy. Meanwhile, the expression of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I and Smad2/3 proteins was detected by immunohistochemistry and quantified by using computerized image analysis.
RESULTS(1) Pathological observation of hepatic specimens: histological examination showed that there were significant difference between normal group and fibrosis model group by comparing with the degrees of inflammation and fibrosis (P < 0.05). And the difference between fibrosis model group and IFN-gamma treatment group was significant (P < 0.05). (2) Changes of the hepatic fibrosis index (serum HA and TGF-beta1): the levels of serum HA, TGF-beta1 in fibrosis model group were higher than IFN-gamma treatment groups (P < 0.05). (3) Changes of gene protein levels about TGF-beta1/Smad: the expressions of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I and Smad2/3 in rat hepatic tissue were detected with immunohistochemistry techniques. The expressions of the three items in model group were higher than normal group (P < 0.01). The difference between model group and IFN-gamma treatment group was significant (P < 0.05);
CONCLUSIONIFN-gamma treatment group had significant results on treating experimental hepatic fibrosis. By the way of inhibiting expressions of TGF-beta1, TbetaR- I, Smad2/3, IFN-gamma treatment group exerted its anti-fibrosis effect.

Objective:To investigate the possibility of using radioiodine labeled framework region(FR)antisense oligonucleotides(ASONs)as an imaging agent or antisense therapeutic radiopharmaceu-tical in lymphoma.Methods:A 18-mer partial phosphorothioate oligonucleotide sequence was synthe-sized and grafted in 5'with a tyramine group which was further radioiodinated.Radioiodination of the tyra-mine derivatized oligonucleotides was performed using the chloramine T method.(1)Normal CD-1 micewere injected via a tail vein with 148 kBq (125)~I-FR-ASON(2-3?g).Animals were sacrificed at the endof 1,2,4 and 24h,and tissue samples were studied.(2)Liposome-mediated 3.33 MBq (131)I-FR-ASON(7-9?g)were injected intralumorally into tumor-bearing BALB/c mice(6 weeks after innculation of10~7 Namalwa cells)meanwhile liposome-mediated (131)~I labeled sense oligonucleotides served as controls.Biodistribution was monitored by sequential scintigraphy and organ radioactivity measurement 24h afterinjection.Percentage of the injected dose per gram of tumor and tumor/non-tumor tissue ratios(T/NT)were calculated tot each group of mice and the difference between two groups was assessed.Results:The5′tyramine group allowed specific and stable radinlabeling of the ASON with radioiodine.The radioactivi-ty reached its peak 1h after injection,and then decreased rapidly in normal mice after intravenous ad-ministration of (125)~I-FR-ASON.The liver,stomach and intestine played an important role in biodistributionand radioactivity counts were low in bone,brain and blood.When (131)I-FR-ASON was injected intratumor-ally into mice grafted with Namalwa cell line,images showed the tracer accumulated in the tumor,Imme-diately after intratumoral administration,only the tumor was visible.Scintiscans performed at the end of 1and 2h showed elimination of the tracer from the tumor to the abdomen and at the end of 24h the tumorwas clearly seen.Percentage of the injected dose per gram of tumor and T/NT ratios for the sense group(control)were significantly lower than those of the antisense group.Conclusion:Radiolabeled Ig FRASON showed high specificity in V1 family B-cell lymphoma,which should be further investigated for nu-clear medicine imaging application and radionuclide antisense therapy.
