Objective To observe the effect of maternal deprivation(MD)on learning and memory ability and hippocampal pathology and nestin expression in rats with hypoxic -ischemic brain damage (HIBD).Methods The models of HIBD SD male rats were established by the method of Rice,and were randomly divided into 2 groups:MD group and control group.In addition,the sham -operation group(sham group)models were established.The MD group rats were separated from their mother 3 hours per day from the second day after modeling to the 21 st postnatal day.After 28 postnatal days,Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the rat models.HE stai-ning was employed to observe the hippocampal pathological change in the rats.Then,the expression of nestin in the hip-pocampus was measured by the method of immunohistochemistry.Results Their body mass changes showed that quali-ty of sham group was higher than that of the control and the MD groups,and quality was improved in the control group, compared with the MD group,and the differences were statistically significant(q =9.860 8,3.880 7,5.980 1 ,all P <0.05).The water maze scores of the MD group in place navigation test and spatial probe test were much lower than that of the control group and the sham group,and the scores of the sham group were higher than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(all P <0.05 ).The findings of HE stain showed that the pathology in the right -sided hippocampus of the sham group was normal and neurons were well -arranged,and that of control group was minimally abnormal,and the neurons were almost arranged orderly and remained normal.While,the pathomorpholo-gy of the MD group was obviously abnormal,the neurons were arranged disorderly,many of the neurons lost.According to the immunohistochemical findings,the number of nestin -positive cells in right -sided hippocampus of the MD group was significantly less than that of the control group,and the number of nestin -positive cells of the sham group was less than that of the MD group,which showed significant differences among the groups(all P <0.05).Conclusions MD aggravated injury to learning and memory ability of neonatal rats with HIBD,and decrease the number of nestin -posi-tive cells of MD markedly,which is not good for the recovery of brain injury.

AIM: To study the effects of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a tea extract, on the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 and the possible mechanisms in vitro. METHODS: The expression of MUC1 in breast cancer cells treated with or without EGCG was detected by immunohistochemistry. The effect of EGCG on invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells was evaluated using Transwell chambers attached with polycarbonate filters and reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel). Gelatin zymography was performed to detect the secretion of collagenase-Ⅳ. RESULTS: EGCG reduced the expression of MUC1, significantly suppressed the invasion of tumor cells to basement membrane and reduced the secretion of collagenase-Ⅳ. CONCLUSION: In vitro, EGCG may suppress invasion, metastasis, and collagenase-Ⅳ secretion in MDA-MB-231 cells by inhibiting the production of MUC1.

OBJECTIVETo dynamically assess drug targeting of Yougui Pill (YP) and Zuogui Pill (ZP) using infrared thermography.

METHODSIn this self-control experiment, five healthy volunteers were recruited. By using infrared thermography 10 to 11 thermal images of different body locations were taken from each participant after they took warm water, YP, ZP, and their dissembled prescriptions at 30, 70, 100, 130, and 160 min, respectively. The heat values in the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) were statistically analyzed after scanning for 125 times.

RESULTSAdministration of YP and its disassembled prescriptions enhanced the heat value of the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), but did no enhance the heat value of the lower quadrant abdomen at 30 min. Administration of ZP and its disassembled prescriptions reduced the heat value in the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) at each time point.

CONCLUSIONThe drug targeting of ZP and YP focused on the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), not on the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen or uterus.

Objective To examine the expression of heparin binding-epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer and elucidate the relationship between HB-EGF and the resistance of ovarian cancer to paclitaxel. Methods The human ovarian carcinoma cell line A2780 and the paclitaxel-resistant human ovarian carcinoma cell line A2780/Taxol were cultured in vitro. Western blot was used to dectect the expression of HB-EGF protein in A2780 and A2780/Taxol groups. The A2780 cells were treated with cross-reacting material 197 (CRM197 and A2780 + CRM197 group) or dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO;A2780 group), while the A2780/Taxol cells were treated with CRM197 (A2780/Taxol+CRM197 group) or DMSO (A2780/Taxol group). The effects of CRM197 on growth and proliferation was tested by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium( MTT) and the results were showed as absorbance (A).The effects of CRM197 on cell cycles was tested by flow cytometry, while the effects of CRM197 on apoptosis was examined by caspase-3 activity assay and the results were showed as p-nitroaniline(pNa). In animal experiment, four groups of cells were inoculated to BALB/c nude mouse subcutaneously to observe tumor formation ability following CRM197 treatment. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of HB-EGF protein in A2780 and A2780/Taxol group. Results The expression level of HB-EGF protein in A2780/Taxol group (2.11±0.41) was significantly higher than that of A2780 group (0.75±0.20;P<0.01). The inhibition effect of CRM197 on the cell growth of A2780+CRM197 and A2780/Taxol+CRM197 group was accompanied by the acceleration of CRM197 concentration(P<0.01). When CRM197≥1 μg/ml, the inhibition effect of CRM197 on the cell growth of A2780/Taxol+CRM197 group was significantly higher than that in A2780/Taxol group(P<0.05). In cell cycle experiment, CRM197 induced the cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in A2780+CRM197 cells[(67 ± 4)%] compared with A2780 cells[(54 ± 6)%;P<0.01], while CRM197 significantly induced the cell-cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase in A2780/Taxol+CRM197 cells [(72± 4)%] compared with A2780/Taxol cells [(24±8)%;P<0.01]. CRM197 treatment in A2780+CRM197 group [(40 ± 6)μmol/L] led to the acceleration of the caspase-3 activity when compared to A2780 group [(6 ± 6)μmol/L;P<0.01], while CRM197 treatment in A2780/Taxol+CRM197 group [(66 ± 12)μmol/L] led to significant acceleration of the caspase-3 activity when compared to A2780 group [(9 ± 6)μmol/L;P<0.01]. In experiments in vivo, the expression scores of HB-EGF protein in A2780/Taxol tumors(10.8 ± 3.3) were higher than that in A2780 tumors (5.0±2.2;P<0.01). The tumor size and tumor weight of the A2780/Taxol+CRM197 group were both higher than those of the A2780+CRM197 group [(546 ± 85) mm3 vs (1 355 ± 119) mm3,(0.56 ± 0.09) g vs (1.31 ± 0.27) g; all P<0.01]. The CRM197 inhibition rate of the A2780+CRM197 and A2780/Taxol + CRM197 group were 43% and 68% respectively, showed that CRM197 significantly suppressed the growth of A2780/Taxol xenografts in vivo(P<0.01). Conclusions HB-EGF is over-expressed in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer and may be contributes to drug resistance. Inhibition of HB-EGF expression potently enhances apoptosis and inhibit the growth of paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer, shedding light on the HB-EGF-targeted therapy options for chemoresistant ovarian cancer patients.
