Objective To observe the effect of Fasudil on inflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-8) secreted by astro-cytes.Methods Primary rat spinal astrocytes were cultured and randomly divided into three groups :control group ,oxygen-glu-cose deprivation group (OGD group) and Fasudil group.The culture media were harvested at different time points (0 ,3 ,6 ,12 , 24 h) for detection of the concentration of TNF-αand IL-8 by ELISA.Results Compared with the control group ,the concentra-tions of TNF-αand IL-8 in OGD group were significantly increased at each time point (P<0.05);in Fasudil group ,the concen-trations of TNF-αand IL-8 increased at some time points ,but they were much lower than in OGD group (P<0.05) .Conclusion OGD can promote the secretion of TNF-αand IL-8 by astrocytes in vitro ,which can be effectively inhibited by Fasudil.It is suggested that Fasudil plays an important role in regulating the levels of TNF-αand IL-8 secreted by astrocytes.

BACKGROUND: The pathway of cholinergic nerve also with rich opium receptor in the septum-hippocampus areas is an important part for spatial learning memory. There is study that naloxone, an antagonist of opium receptor, can relieve the inhibition of activity of cholinergic neuron caused by opioid peptides in the medial septum and hippocampus, promote the release of acetylcholine (Ach)into synaptic cleft, and improve the impairment of spatial memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the intervention effect of naloxone on impairment of spatial working memory of rats induced by scopolamine, a blocker of cholinergic muscarinic receptor.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial taking experimental animals as subjects.SETTING: Geriatric Department of Wuzhongpei Memorial Hospital at Shunde District of Foshan City.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed from 2003 to 2004 at the Experimental Animal Center of Medical School of Shantou University. A total of 21 SD rats of clean grade were at random divided into three groups:normal group, scopolamine group and naloxone group (scopolamine and naloxone), with 7 in each group. Build up of Morris water maze: A circular rubber pool, 2 m diameter and 55 cm height, with 30 cm depth of water at20℃-22℃, was built up. At the center of its southeast quadrant, a cylinder platform installed, which was 12 cm in diameter and 1.5 cm below the water surface, the only place for rats to escape death. The water of the pool was covered with bits of white polythene. In the house, there were light tubes, windows and tables in fixed place served as the outside cues of the pool. On the four walls of the pool, there were several randomly-hung and eye-catching markers as inside cues.METHODS: Medicines were intraperitoneally given 30 minutes before the experiment for rats in each group, scopolamine 0.4 mg/kg and naloxone 3mg/kg in two treatment groups, the equal volume saline in normal group.Then escape latencies of rats were recorded for two successive trials through a delayed-matching\task in self-made Morris water maze. After the Morris water maze examination, all rats were put to death, the tissue of left brain was selected, conventionally treated and sliced. The expression level of cholinacetyltranslase (ChAT) in areas of hippocampus and prefrontal lobe were quantitatively assayed by immunohistochemistry and the computerized image technique. At the same time, the tissue of right brain in two rats of each group was selected, the hippocampus was immediately freed, and the change of CAI region of the hippocampus observed with electron microscope.trastructure of CA1 region of hippocampus in rats.cies of two successive trials were very significantly different in normal group[(46.4±17.7)vs (13.4±8.2)s, t =7.32, P＜ 0.01], and significantly different in naloxone treatment group[ (27.9±14.3)vs (9.0±3.8)s, t=3.19, P＜ 0.05], but not pression of ChAT in pyramidal cells in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus and in neurons of prefrontal cortex of three groups was not different statisticalhippocampus in all groups was normal; However, the ultrastructure of the neuron synapsis was abnormal obviously in scopolamine group: The synaptic vesicles were markedly different in size; the vesicles obviously gathered in the part of presynaptic membrane with an enhanced density, and large and sparse in the distal part. Both presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes were indistinct and fused, synaptic cleft not clear, and postsynaptic dense materials not homogeneous, indistinct and without clear borderline.CONCLUSION: Scopolamine could impair the power of spatial working memory in rats. Naloxone could promote great release of Achin neuron synaptic vesicles into synaptic clefts, and increase the density of postsynaptic dense materials, relieve the inhibition of opioid peptide to cholinergic neuron activity in the medial septum and hippocampus, and could improve space memory injury.

Objective:To investigate the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) in salivary pleomorphic adenoma(SPA).Methods:The expression of IGFBP-3 protein in 40 cases of SPA(group SPA),40 of normal glandular tissue(group N) and 10 of salivary gland malignant tumor(group CA) was detected by Western blot.The expression of IGFBP-3 mRNA in 50 cases of SPA,50 of salivary gland normal tissue and 10 of CA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results:The expression(A value) of IGFBP-3 protein in group N,SPA and CA was 8.54 ± 3.95,4.78 ± 2.07,3.63 ± 2.27 respectively.The expression ration of IGFBP-3 mRNA of group N vs SPA or CA,P ＜ 0.05;SPA vs CA,P ＞ 0.05 (SPA/N was 0.654 ± 0.387,CA/N:0.452 ± 0.229) respectively,but showed no significance difference between SPA and the CA groups(P ＞ 0.05).Difference of IGFBP-3 mRNA expression was observed with different envelope infiltration of SPA (P ＜ 0.05),no significant difference was observed in different age,gender or relapse groups.Conclusion:IGFBP-3 Low expression of IGFBP-3 in pleomorphic adenomas may reduce the antagonism of IGF-1R,causing the proliferation of tumor cells and promote tumor formation.

Immunohistochemical method was used to investigate the morphology and distribution of the oxytocin immunoreactive (OXT-ir) neurons and their dendrites in the subependymal plexus (SEP) around the third ventricle (OXT-SEP). The OXT-ir neurons were of magnocellular neurosecretory type which often intercalated between the ependymal cells, their dendrites were generally long and straight and mostly paralleled to or traveled within the ependyma,some of them could protrude into the ventricle, and most of them appeared heavily vacuous and have a strong tendency of grouping into fascicles. The plexus was composed of dorsal and ventral parts, the former corresponding to the extent of the magnocellular paraventricular nuclei and was extensive and dense, the dendrites were well organized; the latter was more sparse. The cell bodies and dendrites within and between different parts might mix or contact with each other. The functional significance of the plexus is discussed.

Objective To study the changes of arterial blood lactate(ABL) and serum enzymes activities and thier correlation.Method Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),alkaline phosphatase(AKP) and creatine kinase(CK) in serum were determined in sixty-four critical patients in the intensive care unit(ICU) at admission immediately,following 24h,48h and 72h,respectively.The patients was divided into three groups:favorable,survival and death groups.Results Before treatment,ABL level was(3.9?2.5,2.9?1.3 and 3.8?2.3)mmol/L in favorable,survival and death groups respectively.Although ABL in favorable and survival groups were decreased gradually to normal level during 24～72h,the death group showed that the decline was very slowly it still persistent elevated in 72h.There was significanct difference between the death group and the favorable and survival groups(P
