Objective To observe the dynamic changes of the numbers of CD34 positive microvessel and RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil in perihematoma tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats at different time points and the impact of thrombin-specific inhibitor hirudin on the above different indicators and to investigate the protective mechanisms of hirudin for brain injury following ICH. Methods An experimental model was made with autologous whole blood injecting into the rat brain basal ganglia by using the stereotactic method. The rats were randomly assigned to sham operation, ICH, hirudin intervention, and normal saline groups.CD34 and RCA-1 immunobistochemistry stainings and conventional HE staining were used to observe CD34-positive microvessel, RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil.Results The numbers of CD34-positive microvessel began to decrease at 12 hours after ICH, it decreased to the lowest at 72 hours, and it gradually returned to normal levels at day 7. The RCA-1 positive cells could be observed at 6 hours after ICH. It reached the peak at 48 hours. A small amount could persist for two weeks. Neutrophil could be observed at 12 hours after ICH. It reached the peak at 48 hours and disappeared at week 2. The administration of hirudin significantly reduced the numbers of RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil in the early stage of ICH (5 min). At the same time, it significantly inhibited the decreased numbers of CD34-positive microvessel (all P ＜0. 01). The administration of hirudin during the edema formation also significantly reduced the numbers of RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil (all P＜ 0.05), however, it could not significantly increase the numbers of CD34-positive microvessel. Conclusions Thrombinmediated inflammatory response has involved in the process of brain injury after ICH, and early administration of hirudin may significantly relieve perihematoma tissue injury.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the protective effects of Tongmaitang yanming capsules on retinal damage of aged rats. METHODS:Aged rats(aged 24 months)were randomly divided into Tongmaitang yanming capsule high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups (1.750,0.875,0.378 g/kg),positive control drug group (Calcium dobesilate capsules,0.175 g/kg) and model group,with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically once a day for consecutive 90 days. At the end of the 90th day,another 10 rats aged 1.5 months were included into blank control group. After medication,60 rats were provid-ed with water but no food for 12 hours. Blood sample was collected from femoral,and the serum levels of GSH-Px,GSH,SOD and MDA was determined,respectively;right eyes were sampled,pathological change of retina was observed by HE staining and the number of retinal cell layer (RCL) neurons was counted. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,serum levels of GSH-Px,GSH and SOD decreased in model group,while MDA level increased;the number of RCL neurons was (59 ± 4)% of blank control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and retina damage was found. Compared with model group,the serum levels of GSH-Px,GSH and SOD increased in positive control drug group and Tongmaitang yanming capsule groups,while MDA level de-creased;the number of RCL neurons in those groups were (98 ± 7)%,(69 ± 5)%,(78 ± 7)% and (95 ± 6)% of blank control group,respectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01);retina damage was relieved. CONCLUSIONS:Tongmaitang yanming capsules can in-hibit aging-induced lipid peroxidation of rat retina,prevent the progressive loss of retina neurons and protect aging-induced retina damage of rats.

Purpose To investigate the expression of TPX2 in breast cancer, analyze the correlation between its expression and clinico-pathologic characteristics and explore the significances of TPX2 in the treatment and prognosis of breast cancer. Methods Expression of TPX2 in breast cancer tissues, adjacent tissue of cancer and normal breast tissue was examined by immunohistochenistry SP method. The mRNA expression of TPX2 in breast cancer tissues, adjacent tissue of cancer and normal breast tissue was detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) . Results The expression of TPX2 is significantly higher in breast cancer tissues (75. 86%) compared with adjacent tissue of cancer (40. 00%) and normal breast tissue (5. 00%). And the expression of TPX2 cor-related with tumor grade and lymph node metastasis (P<0. 01), while unrelated to age and clinical stage (P>0. 05). The expression of TPX2 mRNA is also significantly higher in breast cancer tissues ( 1. 465 7 ± 0. 136 6 ) compared with adjacent tissue of cancer (0. 923 3 ±0. 114 8) and normal breast tissue (0. 326 9 ±0. 097 3) (P<0. 01). Conclusion High expression of TPX2 in breast cancer correlated with tumor grade and lymph node metastasis, so TPX2 might be a risk factor in the tumorigenesis, progression and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.

Objective To ecaluatc the diagnostic value of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and carotid artery ultrasound for transient ischemia attack (TIA). Methods Among the 74 patients with TIA, 45 had internal carotid artery (ICA)-TIA and 29 had vertebrobasilar artery (VBA)-TIA. DSA examination was performed in order to detect intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis in the above two systems. Cervical artery ultrasound examination was used to understand the distribution of arterial plaques. Results DSA shoved that the detection rate of vascular stenosis in patients with ICA-TIA was 84. 4% (n = 38),and the patients with serious, moderate and slight stenoses were 31.1% (n = 14), 26. 7% (n = 12) and 11.1% (n =5), respectively. Of those, intracranial arterial stenosis was 44.4% (n =20), and it was significantly higher than 22.2%(n = 10) in extracranial arterial stenosis (P ＜0. 001 ); the detection rate of vascular stenosis in patients with VBA-TIA was 65.5% (n = 19), and the patients with serious, moderate and slight stcnoscs were 17. 2% (n = 5), 27. 5% (n = 8), and 20. 7% (n = 6), respcctivegly. Of those, cxtracranial arterial stenosis was 44.8% (n = 13), and it was significantly higher than 13.8% (n = 4) in intracranial stenosis (P ＜ 0. 001 ). Carotid artery ultrasound shoved that the detection rate of ICA plaque was 44.4% (n = 20), and it was higher than 24, 1% (n =7) in patients with VBA-TIA; the detection rate of the plaques in the initial segment of subclavian artery in patients with VBA-TIA was 44. 8% (n = 13), and it was significantly higher than 13.3% (n = 6) in patients with ICA-TIA (P ＜ 0.001 ). Conclusions There were differences between the intracranial and extracranial vascular lesions and the distribution of atherosclerotic plaques in patients with ICA-TIA and VBA-TIA. 1he former was more common in intracranial lesions, and the latter was more common in extracranial lesions.
