OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression pattern of caspase-3 and HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX-1) at different time after cerebral contusion in rat, and explore the new method for estimating the injury interval. METHODS: The cerebral contusion model was established using adult SD male rats. Then the rats were randomly allocated into 8 groups: 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d after cerebral contusion, sham-operation and normal control. Expression of caspase-3 and HAX-1 protein after cerebral contusion in rat was detected by Western blotting. Laser scanning confocal microscope was used to observe the number of HAX-1 positive cells and TUNEL-stained cells after cerebral contusion. RESULTS: The expression of caspase-3 increased parallelly with the time after cerebral contusion and reached the peak value on 3 d. The expression of caspase-3 decreased gradually and still maintained a high level expression on 7 d (P < 0.05). The expression of HAX-1 positive cell went up after injury, and reached the peak value at 6 h (P < 0.05), then turned down gradually after 12 h and went out of detection after 3 d. The number of TUNEL-stained cells increased obviously at 2 h and reached the peak value on 3 d. The number of TUNEL-stained apoptotic cells decreased gradually and still maintained a high level expression on 7 d (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The expression of caspase-3 and HAX-1 after cerebral contusion has time sequential regularity, which may provide new evidence for forensic diagnosis of cerebral contusion interval.

Objective To observe the changes of bone mass in reloaded rats after tail-suspension,and the effect and mechanism of simvastatin on this process.Methods Twenty-four 5-month old rats were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals in each group: Control (CL) group without tail-suspension,unloaded (UL) group with tail-suspension for 6 weeks,other 12 rats received tail-suspension for 3 weeks,then reloaded for subsequent 3 weeks (UL+RL) or combined with simvastatin treatment (UL+RL+SIM) at a dose of 10 mg/kg/d.All rats were sacrificed 6 weeks later,and the left femur was used for examination of bone mineral density,left tibia was used for bone histomorphometry analysis,the right femur and tibia were harvested for biomechanical test,and expression levels of type I collagen by real-time PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results 1.BMD of the CL group was significantly higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05),and was markedly lower than those in the UL+RL and UL+RL+SIM groups (P<0.05).2.The bone histomorphometry showed that BV/TV in the CL group was significantly higher than those in the other 3 groups,and the UL+RL and UL+RL+SIM groups showed a significantly higher BV/TV than that of UL group (P<0.05).The Tb.Th was significantly higher in the CL group than in the UL group.The Tb.Sp in the CL group was significantly lower than those in the other 3 groups (P<0.05).The UL+RL and UL+RL+SIM groups showed significantly lower Tb.Sp than that of the UL group (P<0.05).3.Biomechanical test showed that the maximal load and elastic modulus in the CL groups were significantly higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05).4.Real-time PCR showed that no significant difference in the mRNA expression level of Col I was found between any two groups.5.Western blot showed that the IOD of Col I is significantly lower than that in the CL group.Conslusions Bone loss,destruction of trabecular bone micro-architecture and biomechanical properties and reduction of type 1 collagen are present in tail-suspension treated rats,which are partially restored after reloading,and this recovery process is not enhanced by simvastatin treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on autophagy in the hippocampal neurons of rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 12-16 weeks,weighing 340-370 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=80 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),traumatic brain injury group (group TBI) and dexmedetomidine group (group Dex).The rats were subjected to a diffuse cortical impact injury caused by a modified weight-drop device to induce TBI.Dexmedetomidine 15 μg/kg was injected intravenously immediately after TBI in Dex group.At 24 and 48 h after TBI,neurological deficit score (NDS) was assessed,Morris water maze test was performed,and brains were removed for detection of brain water content in the brain tissue.At 6,12,24 and 48 h after TBI,the expression of hippocampal LC3]Ⅱ was determined using Western blot analysis.Results Compared with group S,brain water content and NDS were significantly increased at 24 and 48 h after TBI,the escape latency was prolonged,and the expression of hippocampal LC3 Ⅱ was upregulated at 6,12,24 and 48 h after TBI in TBI group.Compared with TBI group,brain water content and NDS were significantly decreased at 24 and 48 h after TBI,the escape latency was shortened,and the expression of hippocampal LC3 Ⅱ was down-regulated at 6,12,24 and 48 h after TBI in Dex group.Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces TBI is related to inhibition of autophagy in the hippocampal neurons of rats.

The traditional Chinese medicine (Tripterygium wilfordiiHook.f.,TWH) has been clinically used to treat primary and secondary renal diseases and proteinuria for nearly 40 years.However,there is a rare literature about the effect of triptolide (the main active ingredient of TWH) on the expression of oxidative carbonyl protein (OCP) in diabetic nephropathy (DN).This study aimed to provide experimental evidence for triptolide treatment on DN through its effect on the expression of OCP,in order to investigate the effects of triptolide on the expression of OCP in rats with DN.Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups:control group,high-dose triptolide (Th) group,low-dose triptolide (T1) group,DN model group,and positive control (benazepril) group.The DN model was established using streptozotocin.Urinary protein excretion,fasting blood glucose (FBG),superoxide dismutase (SOD) in renal homogenate,malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal homogenate and renal nitrotyrosine by immunohistochemistry,and the expression of OCP by oxyblotimmune blotting were detected.In the DN model group,rat urinary protein excretion and renal MDA were significantly increased,while renal SOD significantly decreased and nitrotyrosine expression was obviously upregulated in the kidney.After triptolide treatment,24-h urinary protein excretion (61.96±19.00 vs.18.32±4.78 mg/day,P＜0.001),renal MDA (8.09±0.79 vs.5.45±0.68 nmol/L,P＜0.001),and nitrotyrosine expression were decreased.Furthermore,renal OCP significantly decreased,while renal SOD (82.50±19.10 vs.124.00±20.52 U/L,P＜0.001) was elevated.This study revealed that triptolide can down-regulate the expression of OCP in the renal cortex of DN rats.
