AIM: To observe the effect of cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) agonist WIN55-212-2 on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), c-Fos and protein kinase A beta-catalytic subunit (PKAC-β) in cerebrum cortex after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. METHODS: The intracerebral hemorrhage model of rat was made by the injection of collagenase Ⅶ, and WIN55-212-2 was intraperitoneally (ip) injected 30 min later. The rats were killed for sampling the brain tissues as specimens 24 h after ICH. The methods of immunohistochemical analysis and Western blotting were adopted to detect the expression of PKAC-β and BDNF. The mRNA expression of PKAC-β, c-Fos and BDNF was determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: WIN55-212-2 obviously improved some nervous deficit symptoms and increased the expression of BDNF at mRNA and protein levels with upregulating the mRNA expression of c-Fos and downregulating the expression of PKA at mRNA and protein levels in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex. The proteins of PKAC-β, c-Fos and BDNF were expressed on the membrane or nucleus of the neuron or in the cytoplasm of glial cells, respectively. CONCLUSION: The expression of BDNF is induced not only by upregulation of c-Fos, but also by downregulation of PKA in WIN55-212-2 treated rats.

Aim To explore the effects of cannabinoid (WIN55,212-2) on mRNA and protein expressions of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF in cerebral cortex after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)in rats.Methods ICH model of rats were made by Ⅶ Collagenase,which were injected by the intraperitoneal route,thirty minutes after the operations.The rats were killed for brain tissue as specimens with 24 hours.The localizations of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF were assessed by immunohistochemistry;The expressions of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF mRNA were detected by RT-PCR;The expressions of PKAC-? and BDNF protein were revealed by Western blot.Results WIN55,212-2 increased not only the levels of BDNF mRNA and protein,but also c-fos mRNA in ipsilateral cerebral cortex.However,it decreased the levels of PKAC-? mRNA and protein.PKAC-?,c-fos,and BDNF proteins were expressed on membrane of neurons,nucleus of neurons or the cytoplasm of glial cells respectively.Conclusion WIN55,212-2 induces the expression of BDNF in the cerebral cortex,which provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the gram positive bacteria isolates from hospital in Chongqing during 2006-2011 .Methods Non-repetitive gram positive bacterias were collected retrospectively from ten hospitals in Chongqing .Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all clinical isolates were carried out using Kirby-Bauer(KB) .Results 14 473 strains were isolated .There were 4 840 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (33 .4% ) ,2 566 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis (17 .7% ) ,1 822 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus (12 .6% ) ,1 325 strains of Enterococcus (E .faecalis/E .faecium )(9 .2% ) . Staphylococcus was highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin ,rifampicin ,piperacillin/tazobactam ,linezolid ,teicoplanin and vancomycin ,but their resistance rate to ampicillin/sulbactam ,oxacillin ,penicillin and clarithromycin was high .The resistance rate of E .faecium to the majority of antimicrobial agents was obviously higher than that of E .faecalis ,excluding imipenem ,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline .Vancomycin and linezolid still remain the strongest antibacterial activity to Enterococcus .Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in Chongqing present regional particularity ,and antibiotic resistance is severe .It is significant to strengthen the epidemiology study of pathogenic bacteria and to develop policies to intervene in the use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective To synthesize 4 kinds of 111 In?TPP cations and evaluate their properties as tumor cationic radiotracers in vivo and in vitro. Methods DO3A?xy?TPP, DO3A?xy?mTPP, DO3A?xy?dmTPP and DO3A?xy?tmTPP were radiolabeled with 111 In;their lipid?water partition coefficients and in vivo and in vitro stability were evaluated. The binding affinities of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were determined in cell uptake and cell efflux assay using U87MG tumor cells. Biodistribution studies and γ imaging studies were performed using the athymic nude mice bearing U87MG human glioma xenografts to explore the biologi?cal properties of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers. One?way analysis of variance was used. Results The labeling yields of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were all above 85%, and the radiochemical purity were all greater than 99% after purification. Binding assay in U87MG cells showed that 4 kinds of radiotracers had great binding affinity and cell retention ability, and 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best binding ratio (1?49%;F=177.8, P<0.05) . Gamma imaging and biodistribution results showed that the U87MG tumors could be clearly visualized by 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP, and the liver uptake of the 3 tracers was lower than that of 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP. In particular, 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best tumor/liver ratio (0.13±0.05, 2 h postinjection;F=9.4, P<0?05). Conclusions The tumor?targeted ability of 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP is better than those of 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP, suggesting that it has the potential to be a promising tumor cationic radiotracer.

Objective To determine the effects of EGCG on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS)-induced neuroinflamma-tion and investigate the role of neuroprotection mediated by EGCG .Methods Primary cultures of rat gliacyte were used as an in vitro model to examine the effects of EGCG on LPS-induced neuronal damage .The intracellu-lar Glu andγ-GABA were quantified via HPLC .Then the protein level of TNF-α,IL-1βand IL-8 was determined by ELISA and Western blot assay .Results Compared with the control group , LPS apparently induced the pro-duction of intracellular ROS ( P<0.05 ) and released the TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-8 in the primary cultures super-natant (P<0.05).Compared with the LPS group,EGCG significantly attenuated the release of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-8 ( P<0.05 ) and the level of iNOS protein ( P<0.05 ) .LPS apparently induced the production of intra-cellular ROS( P<0.05 ) and released the TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-8 in the primary cultures supernatant ( P <0.05 ) .EGCG significantly attenuated the release of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-8 ( P<0.05 ) and the level of iNOS protein(P<0.05), and rugulated the concentration of Glu/γ-GABA(P<0.05).Conclusions EGCG is effective in protecting hosts against LPS-induced neuroinflammation through anti-inflammatory effects and regulating extracel-lular Amino acid levels .

Background Many studies and clinical trials of pharmacologic vitreolysis are already under way to try to improve vitreo-retinal surgery and to liquefy and detach the vitreous from the retina ultimately, including chondroitinase,hyaluronidase,dispase and plasmin. However, there has not been any report on purification of human plasminogen from cord blood plasma and inducing posterior vitreous detachment of the animal eye at present.Objective This study was designed to isolate and purify the production of human plasminogen (Plg) from cord blood plasma with ethanol precipitation and evaluate the efficacy of Plg in inducing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).Methods Human Plg was Separated and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. The protein band corresponding to Plg with molecular mass of 92 000 was revealed in SDS-PAGE and confirmed by MALDI-TOF and Mascot database. Anion-exchange chromatography and plasminogen activity assay kit were used to obtain purified Plg with biological activity. Twenty-five fresh pig eyes were enucleated and assigned to 5 groups and 5 eyes for each group. The normal eyes were used as control group. Balanced salt solution(BSS)of 0.1 ml was intravitreally group and standard substance group. All of the eyes were then incubatedfor 60 minutes under the 37 ℃. Retinal histopathology and ultrastructure were examined under the light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results The Plg with potential fibrinolytic activity was successfully extracted and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. No posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was seen in normal control group, BSS group and r-SK group following the intravitreal injection under the sem. However,PVD was demonstrated in r-SK+ Plg group and standard substance group under the SEM. The inner limiting membrane ( ILM ) and the retina were well preserved in all of the experimental eyes. No retinal morphology and ultrastructural abnormality were found under the light and SEM and TEM. Conclusion Ethanol precipitation is a feasible way to isolate and purify Plg from human cord blood plasma. Extracted Plg shows potential fibrinolytic intravitreal injection of Plg.
