Objective To explore the effect of chronic low lead exposure on molecular pathological mechanisms of learning and memory of rats at the developmental stage Methods The changes of N methyl D aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR 1) mRNA expression in rat hippocampus were observed by using digoxigenin labled anti sense oligonucleotide probes in situ hybridization technique Results The changes in NMDAR 1 mRNA levels in Pb exposed rat hippocampus were found to be dependent upon the developmental period of exposure and the region of the hippocampus analyzed Hippocampal NMDAR 1 mRNA levels increased significantly in the CA1 (18 75%) and CA3 (13 2%) ( P

This study was aimed to select the best preparation form of medicinal in camellia cake,based on the optimal antithrombotic agents in oil tea camellia defatted cake to establish the foundation of research.The content of effective index component of the oil tea camellia defatted cake preparation was detected by HPLC-PDA.The quality of medicinal preparation from oil tea camellia defatted cake was characterized based on the content,relative quantity,relative ratio of content,yield rate and antithrombotic effect.The results showed that the effect of antithrombotic of three medicinal preparations from oil tea camellia defatted cake was listed in the following descending order of enrichment,ethanol extract,and water extract.The enrichment was the best preparation form of medicinal in oil tea camellia defatted cake preparation with the highest content of effective index components,the lowest extract rate and the lowest dosage.But it had the best effect of antithrombotic.It was concluded that the significant improvement of efficacy was due to the increase of the content of the components in the preparation and the rationality of the proportion.At the same time,analysis of component quality based on basic composition of drug system through the consideration of effective components of type and quantity,composition and other quality factors can further guide the preparation of drugs.

Objective To improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of the sharp injury in the back. Methods 47 cases which were treated from Jan 1991 to May 2000 were reviewed. ResultsAmong 37 cases who underwent the exploration, 5 cases died. Among 10 cases who underwent conservative treatment, 2 cases died. ConclusionThe condition of sharp injury in the back is very complicated,it is easy to be misdiagnosed, the mortality is high. Saving should be equalled with the diagnosis and treatment. The application of wound exploration, abdominal puncture, ultrasound examination and X-ray checking is valuable to the diagnosis. The patients with operation indications should be operated at once,while the others should be observed for some time to prevent the delayed clinical manifestation.

Objective To determine the affinities of five oligopeptides specifically binding with DNA binding domain of NF-?B p65 subunit and identify their inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. Methods By using biosensor the affinities were measured by means of kinetic analysis, and the inhibiting effects were determined by competitive ELISA. Results The results of biosensor showed that all of five oligopeptides really possessed the capability of specific interacting with NF-?B p65 subunit. The affinity constants of these oligopeptides were 2.67?10~ -7 mol/L, 9.02?10~ -6 mol/L, 1.07?10~ -6 mol/L, 8.03?10~ -6 mol/L, 9.83?10~ -7 mol/L respectively. The results of competitive ELISA indicated that five oligopeptides could inhibit NF-?B from binding with ?B motif, and their inhibiting effect depended on their concentration. Conclusion Five oligopeptides that were screened by yeast two-hybrid system method can really interact with p65, and possess the inhibiting effect on DNA binding activity of NF-?B. So it will be possible that these oligopeptides are regarded as model to design and develop novel anti-inflammatory peptide drug targeting NF-?B.

Objective. To study the role of endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) in endotoxin shock. Methods. The changes of CO levels and the effects of zinc protoporphyrin IX (ZnPP),an inhibitor of heme-oxygenase (HO), in endotoxin shock and the efficacy of hemin,an inducer of HO were investigated.Results. The plasma CO levels were found to be significantly increased during the course of endotoxin shock. Injection of ZnPP was shown to abrogate the endotoxin-induced hypotension and metabolic derangements markedly. Administration of hemin to healthy rabbits revealed the hypotension and metabolic derangements similar to the animals given endotoxin.Conclusion.CO is a newly found endogenously produced mediator which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of endotoxin shock.

BACKGROUND:Increasing evidence supports the association between different exercise intensities and the risk of osteoarthritis,but this may be affected by confounding and reverse causality,and the conclusions have not been unified. OBJECTIVE:To explore the causal association between different exercise intensities and osteoarthritis using Mendelian randomization method. METHODS:Data from genome-wide association studies associated with different exercise intensities were selected,and instrumental variables were screened with a threshold of P＜5×10-8.Causal associations between exposure and risk of outcome were assessed using five analysis methods of Mendelian randomization with inverse variance weighting as the primary analysis method.Selected instrumental variables were used to assess causal associations between different exercise intensities and osteoarthritis,and sensitivity analyses with inverse Mendelian randomization were performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the analysis results of the inverse variance weighting method,low-intensity exercise showed a significant protective effect on knee osteoarthritis[odds ratio(OR)=0.14,95%confidence interval(CI):0.06-0.32,P＜0.001],while sedentary behavior without exercise intensity,such as watching TV,was confirmed to be a risk factor for knee osteoarthritis and hip osteoarthritis(OR=2.24,95%CI:1.74-2.88,P＜0.001;OR=1.34,95%CI:1.01-1.78,P=0.04).Through the reverse Mendelian randomization analysis of osteoarthritis to different exercise intensities,it was found that osteoarthritis was negatively correlated with low-intensity exercise and positively correlated with watching TV.The analysis results show that there is a two-way causal relationship between different exercise intensity and osteoarthritis risk.
