Background Previous study on critical period plasticity in local cortical circuits primarily was only to test the role of some proteins in visual cortex on visual development based on the existed neural signals expression system,but whole containing proteins analysis in cortical circuits is lack.To perform a whole containing proteins analysis has an important significance for critical period plasticity study.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of dark rearing on visual sense and proteomics in visual cortex for growing rat.Methods Two SD female rats were fed in two cages together with 12 newborn rats on the same day respectively,and half number of newborn rats were exchanged each other from first day after delivering and marked by eartipping.The newborn rats in a cage were bred in the dark environment for 40 days,and newborn rats in other cage were bred in the nature environment as controls.The blink response of rats to nearby object was examined and compared between the two groups of rats.Then three rats from two cages were sacrificed respectively and bilateral primary visual cortex tissue was isolated.Proteomics in rat primary visual cortex was detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry and the result was checked from database.Then the survival rats in the dark environment returned to the nature environment for 10 days,and the blink response of rats to nearby object were compared with that of agematched rats in the natural environment.The use and care of experimental rats followed the instruction of Ethic Committee of Nankai University.Results The blink response of rats was (0.33 ± 0.35) times in the dark environment for 40-day group,and that in the natural environment for 40-day group was (6.42±0.68) times,with a significant difference between them (t =24.38,P<0.01).After returned to natural environment for 10 days,the blink response times of rats were less than those of the natural environment group ([5.00±1.22] times vs.[6.11±0.59]times),but this change was not statistically significant (t =2.09,P>0.05).Two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry assay revealed that 36 different proteins in visual cortex were found in the dark-feed rats compared with the natural environment rats,including 26 loss proteins and 10 extra proteins.Among the different proteins,Eps 15 homology domain-containing protein-3 (EHD3),tubulin alpha-1A chain and 2 ',3 '-cyclic-nucleotide 3 ' phosphordiesterase were the known proteins.Conclusions Dark rearing cause reversible visual loss in critical period plasticity newborn rat,and the change of proteomics in visual cortex is probably an affecting factor.

Objectives: To investigate the relationships between the stability of carotid plaque and serum Lp-PLA2, A-FABP levels in hypertensive postmenopausal women. Methods: 195 postmenopausal women with hypertension were selected and divided into non-plaque group, stable plaque group and unstable plaque group according to the results of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque types derived from color doppler ultrasonography. In addition, 40 healthy postmenopausal women were recruited as normal control group. The serum Lp-PLA2 and A-FABP levels of all subjects were measured. Lp-PLA2 and A-FABP levels were compared among four groups by One-Way ANOVA. Spearman correlation analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were also performed. Results: Plaque group included 123 subjects (unstable plaque group: 29 cases; stable plaque group: 94 cases), and non-plaque group included 72 subjects. The average serum A-FABP level was significantly higher in unstable plaque group [(172.60±33.70) ng/L] than in non-plaque group[(133.04±29.49) ng/L], P<0.05. Serum Lp-PLA2 level was similar between the four groups, P>0.05. Serum A-FABP level was positively correlated with the carotid plaque (r=0.3446, P=0.0049);serum Lp-PLA2 level was not correlated with the carotid plaque (r=0.2058, P=0.0996). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that high A-FABP level was associated with stable plaque in hypertensive postmenopausal women (P=0.040, OR=1.017, 95%CI: 1.001~1.033), which was also associated with unstable plaque in this population (P=0.003, OR=1.031, 95%CI: 1.010~1.052). Conclusions: The level of A-FABP is a determinant responsible for the occurrence and stability of carotid plaque among hypertensive postmenopausal women. There was no correlation between Lp-PLA2 level and the stability of carotid plaque in this patient cohort.

There are definite effects of sunitinib molecular target therapy on renal carcinoma , but not all the patients diagnosed with renal carcino-ma could benefit from it.Single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) could be related to point mutations of patients who couldn ’ t bear the toxicity that induced by sunitinib.Besides, the sunitinib induced toxicity could be influenced by the exposure of sunitinib in patient plasma .Therefore the aim of this article was to conduct a systematic review to the relation-ship among adverse reaction , SNPs and plasma concentration in renal carcinoma patients treated with sunitinib .
