miRNAs were discovered less than a decade ago, and have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in mammals. A large number of miRNAs have been identified to be located within the intronic regions of protein-encoding genes(host genes) and called intronic miRNAs. The intronic miRNAs may play a key role in regulating the expression and function of their host genes due to the fact that most of them are co-expressed with the host genes. In this paper, the recent advances on the research on potential relationship between intronic miRNAs and their host genes are reviewed.

Objective To study the effects of discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) mediated phosphorylation of protein Tau on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) in neonatal rats and its possible mechanism.Methods Sixty-four seven-day-old male specific-pathogen-free Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups with sixteen in each: Sham, HIBD, HIBD with normal saline (HIBD+NS) and HIBD with DDR1 inhibitor (HIBD+DI) groups. A rat model of HIBD was established by subjecting the rats to left common carotid artery ligation, followed by exposing them to hypoxia for two hours. In HIBD+DI group, the inhibitor of DDR1 was immediately injected into lateral cerebroventricles of the rats following modeling. Forty-eight hours after injection, tissues of left cerebral cortex were collected from each rat to evaluate histopathological changes with HE staining. Western-blotting was used to assess the phosphorylation levels of DDR1 and protein Tau. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect the concentrations of acetylcholine. Analysis of variance ort test were used for statistical analysis.Results (1) Damages in cerebral cortex: Percentages of abnormal neurons in the rats of HIBD group were higher than those in Sham group [(80.28±4.51)% vs (10.40±2.17)%,t=39.491,P<0.01]. Pyknotic or necrotic neurons in the rats of HIBD+DI group were less than those in HIBD+NS group [(31.91±3.05)% vs (82.01±7.20)%,t=18.123,P<0.01]. (2) Phosphorylation of DDR1 and protein Tau: Levels of phosphorylated DDR1 in the cerebral cortexes of rats in HIBD group were higher than those in Sham group (0.922±0.199 vs 0.095±0.023,t=10.379,P<0.01), and those levels in HIBD+NS group were higher than those in HIBD+DI group (1.200±0.171 vs 0.255±0.111,t=11.901, P<0.01). The phosphorylation of protein Tau was similar to that of DDR1 (0.919±0.228 vs 0.194±0.224 in HIBD and Sham groups,t=7.347; 1.100±0.167 vs 0.291±0.210 in HIBD+NS and HIBD+DI groups,t=9.447;bothP<0.01). (3) Levels of acetylcholine: Levels of acetylcholine in cerebral cortexes of rats in HIBD group were lower than those in Sham group [(3.685±0.472) vs (7.429±0.861) ng/g protein,t=10.781,P<0.01], and that levels in HIBD+DI group were higher than those in HIBD+NS group [(7.058±0.915) vs (2.521±0.723) ng/g protein,t=10.989,P<0.01].Conclusions Activation of DDR1 plays a key role in enhancing the phosphorylation of protein Tau and in reducing the secretion of acetylcholine in cerebral cortexes of rats with HIBD. Inhibitor of DDR1 could protect neonatal rats from HIBD through the decreasing of protein Tau phosphorylation and increasing of acetylcholine release by inhibiting the activation of DDR1.

Objective To study the effect of high-glucose-high-fat diet on expression and methylation of insulin receptor ( INSR) gene in F1 offspring. Methods Sixty 5-week-old male SD rats were randomly divided into two groups:normal diet group and high-glucose-high-fat diet group. After rats were fed for three months, all male rats were performed to copulate with normal female rats. The body weight, blood glucose, and blood insulin of neonatal rats of F1 offspring were measured. The genome DNA, total RNA, and total protein were extracted from livers, brains, and muscles of neonatal rats. Relative expression of INSR in both mRNA level and protein level were detected using a realtime PCR test and a Western blot test respectively. Methylation of INSR promoter was analyzed by a methylation specific PCR ( MSP ) . Results Both body weight and fasting glucose were without significant difference in two groups. In high-glucose-high-fat diet group, both the glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance of neonatal rats in F1 offspring were significantly decreased. Except that in brains, the expressions of INSR gene in livers and in muscles of neonatal rats in high-glucose-high-fat diet group were down-regulated in mRNA ( realtime PCR ) and protein levels ( Western blot) compared to the normal diet group. Meanwhile, the methylation of INSR gene in livers and muscles were strengthened in high-glucose-high-fat diet group. Conclusion A high-glucose-high-fat diet fed to male SD rats leads to the decrease in glucose tolerance, insulin tolerance, and the inhibition of expression of hepatic and muscle INSR gene in neonatal offspring. The methylation of INSR gene could be involved in this phenomenon.

A novel built-in-self-test (BIST) method called seeded autonomous cyclic shift register (SACSR) is presented to reduce test power of the sequential circuit. The key idea is to use a pseudorandom pattern generator and several XOR gates to generate seeds that share fewer test vectors. The generated seed is taken XOR operation with a cyclic shift register, and the single input change (SIC) sequence is generated. The proposed scheme is easily implemented and can reduce the switching activities of the circuit under test (CUT) greatly. Experimental results on ISCAS89 benchmarks show that on average more than 63% power reduction can be achieved. It also demonstrates that the generated test vectors attain high fault coverage for stuck-at fault and transition fault coverage with short test length.

Objective To investigate the effect of curcumin on the expression of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CBR1) and NR2B subunit-containing NMDA receptor in spinal cord dorsal horn and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons in a rat model of neuropathic pain.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-230 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =18 each):sham operation group (S group),chronic constrictive injury (CCI) group,curcumin group (Cur group) and solvent control group (SC group).Neuropathic pain was induced by CCI.The sciatic nerve was exposed and 4 loose ligatures were placed on the sciatic nerve at 1 mm intervals in groups CCI,Cur and SC.Curcumin was injected intraperitoneally at 100 mg· kg- 1· d-1 for 14 consecutive days after operation in Cur group,while the equal volume of dimethyl sulfoxide was given instead of curcumin in SC group.Mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured on 2 days before operation and on 1,3,7,10 and 14 days after operation.Six rats in each group were sacrificed on 3,7 and 14 days after operation and the lumbar segments of the spinal cord ( L4,5 ) and DRGs were removed to determine the expression of CBR1 and NR2B by immuno-histochemistry.Results Compared with S group,MWT was significantly decreased,TWL was significantly shortened,and the expression of CBR1 and NR2B in spinal cord dorsal horn and DRG neurons was up-regulated after operation in the other three groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with CCI group,MWT was significantly increased,TWL was significantly prolonged,the expression of CBR1 inspinal cord dorsal horn and DRG neurons was up-regulated,and the expression of NR2B in spinal cord dorsal horn and DRG neurons was down-regulated after operation in group Cur (P ＜ 0.05 ),and no significant change in the parameters mentioned above was found in group SC ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Curcumin can alleviate neuropathic pain in rats,and up-regulation of CBR1 expression and down-regulation of NR2B expression in spinal cord dorsal horn and DRG neurons are involved in the mechanism.
