BACKGROUND:At present, many researches have shown that tacrolimus has protecting effect on peripheral nerves,however,whether tacrolimus has a similar effect on central neural system has not been known yet.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of tacrolimus on neural behaviors and memory by observing the neural behaviors and detecting the expression of synaptophysin in cortex,hippocampus and basipodite.DESIGN:Parallel and before and post contrast study.SETTING:Department of neurosurgery, affiliated hospital of the two medical universities.MATERIALS:The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Department Neurosurgery,Shanghai Changzheng Hospital in November 2002.Twenty-four qualified Sprague-Dawley rats supplied by Shanghai Experimental Animal Center of medical institution of Fudan University,with body mass of 180-220 g,were randomly divided into three groups:control, injury and treatment,with 8 rats in each group.INTERVENTIONS:Anesthesia was induced by administration of sodium pentobarbital(with the concentration of 20 g/L,40 mg/kg) twenty-four hours before the operation.The coup energy was 151.95-172.21 kPa that was equal to medium injury. The control rats did not receive the coup. Tacrolimus was given to the treatment group in the dosage of 1 mg/kg body weight by intraperitoneal injection at 5 minutes post trauma. The drug was given once physiological saline. Before and post trauma (on the third and seventh day)all rats Accepted Beam Walking Test,Beam Balance Test and Memory Test,respectively. One week after trauma,all rats' heads was removed and the brain was taken out within seconds.The hippocampus,cortex and basipodite of the traumatic hemisphere were kept in methanal with the concentration of 4 percent. Immunohistochemistry and image analysis system were used to study the expression of synaptophysin in cortex,hippocampus and basipodite of the traumatic hemisphere.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①The performance records of neural behaviors and memory of the three groups. ②Results of the expression of synaptophysin in cortex, hippocampus and basipodite of the three groups.③Apoptotic cellscalculation of synaptophysin in cortex,hippocampus and basipodite.RESULTS:Totally 24 rats entered the final analysis. ①On the third day and the seventh day,the scores recorded in Walking Test and Balance Test of the treatment group were less than those in the injury group[Walking Test: (7.5±2.5) s,(5.5±2.1) s,(10.5±2.5) s,(8.2±2.5) s. Balance Test:(3.4±0.5)score,(2.5±0.2) score,(5.7±0.2) score,(5.0±0.5) score,P < 0.05-0.01].But the scores recorded in memory test of the treatment group were still more than those in the control group,memory test[(4.9±1.7) s,(6.2±2.3) s,(4.0±1.5) s,(4.4±2.6) s,P < 0.05-0.01]. ②The expression of synaptophysin in cortex,hippocampus and basipodite in the treatment group was still more than that in the injury group(140.36±3.87, 45.52±2.16,31.67±2.35,96.25±2.85,24.35±2.47,20.49±2.08,P < 0.01);The expression of synaptophysin control group was especially more than that in treatment group (162.24±3.52,50.58±2.31,42.69±2.53, P < 0.01).Apoptotic cells calculation of cortex,hippoeampus and basipodite in treatment group was far less than those in injury group,(10.37±2.12)%,(18.39±2.87)%, (12.78±2.45)%,(21.14±4.85)%,(38.57±3.78)%, (21.18±4.59)%,P < 0.01].And apoptotic cells calculation in injury group was more than those in control group [(3.85±2.56)%,(4.96±2.15)%, (3.52±2.17)%,P < 0.01].CONCLUSION:Tacrolimus can facilitate the expression of synaptophysin,refrain from calcineurin involving in the process of transcription-dependent and nontranscription-dependent apoptosis,and can also contribute to the recovery of memory and neural behaviors post trauma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of direct and indirect carotid cavernous fistulas (CCFs).Methods:Patients with CCF treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to August 2020 were enrolled retrospectively. Relevant clinical data were collected, including the main clinical manifestations, neuroimaging features, and treatment methods. The clinical features of direct and indirect CCFs were compared.Results:A total of 31 patients were enrolled in the study, 29 (93.5%) had ocular symptoms, of which conjunctival hyperemia and edema ( n=24, 77.4%), exophthalmos ( n=19, 61.3%) and orbital murmur ( n=18, 58.1%) were most common. There were 23 patients (74.2%) in direct CCF group and 8 (25.8%) in indirect CCF group. The former had more history of head trauma (78.2% vs. 12.5%; P=0.002), more flow volume (high-flow CCFs: 100% vs. 37.5%; P<0.001) and more likely to cause orbital murmur (69.6% vs. 25.0%; P=0.043). Endovascular embolization was safe and effective. The common methods of endovascular embolization were EVAL glue combined with coil embolization ( n=18, 66.7%) and detachable balloon embolization alone ( n=6, 22.2%). Conclusion:Ocular manifestations are most prominent in patients with CCFs. Direct CCF is more common, usually with a history of head trauma, and the clinical and imaging features are more typical. Interventional embolization is the preferred treatment option for patients with CCF.

OBJECTIVE: To study the anti-gout effect of aqueous extract from the stems and leaves of Erythropalum scandens (ASLE). METHODS: The mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, allopurinol group (positive control, 5 mg/kg), ASLE low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (1 300, 2 600, 5 200 mg/kg, by raw material; similarity hereinafter), with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal group, other groups were given potassium oxonate intragastrically to induce hyperuricemia model. One hour after modeling, normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically; administration group was given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 7 d. One hour after last administration, the levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and serum creatinine (Scr) were detected by colorimetry assay. Another mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, indomethacin group (positive control, 7.5 mg/kg), ASLE low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups, with 10 mice in each group. Normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically; administration group was given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 7 d. After last administration, except for normal group, the mice were given sodium microcrystalline urate via toes to induce gouty arthritis model. Before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 h after modeling, the circumference of the same part of the inflamed limbs and toes of mice in each group was measured by wire binding method, and the degree of toe swelling was calculated. The number of white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NEU) and lymphocyte (LYM) were detected by animal hematology analyzer. The levels of SUA and Scr were measured by colorimetry assay. The content of NO in toe tissue was determined by Griess method. RESULTS: The experimental results of hyperuricemia model showed that the levels of SUA and Scr in mice were significantly higher in model group than those in normal group (P<0.01). Compared with model group, above indexes of mice were decreased significantly in administration group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The experimental results of gouty arthritis model showed that the level of SUA, the degree of toe swelling (2-8 h), the number of WBC, NEU and LYM, NO content in model group were increased significantly, compared with normal group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, the levels of SUA and Scr (ASLE groups), the degree of toe swelling [indomethacin group, ASLE high-dose group (2-8 h), ASLE low-dose group (2, 6 h), ASLE medium-dose group (6 h)], the number of WBC and NEU (administration groups), the number of LYM (indomethacin group) and NO content (administration groups except for ASLE low-dose group) were decreased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The anti-gout effect of ASLE may be associated with promoting uric acid metabolism, anti-inflammatory and improving renal function.
