Both total proteome and differential proteins were effectively extracted, separated and selected by a combined approach of both differential centrifugation and 2D-PAGE in liver of Paralichtys olivaceus( POL) under the stress of cadmium chloride as an artificial pollution source. Approximately 800 spots for extraction of whole protein separated with 2D-PAGE were obtained by direct lysis in the POL. In addition, approximately 11 differential proteins in POL were also obtained under the stress of cadmium chloride. The differential centrifugal were used to prepare three sedimentation and a plasmolysis proteins, called POL component Ⅰ, POL component Ⅱ, POL component Ⅲ, and POL component Ⅳ(plasmolysis protein), respectively. Total protein spots for each gel were calculated to have 380, 550, 500, and 850, respectively, approximately 2280 spots in sum, while total spots are much higher than those by direct lysis approach. Using the comparison method, approximately 54 differential proteins in POL were obtained by a combined technology of both differential and two dimensional polyacylaminde gel electrophoresis(2D-PAGE) methods under the stress of cadmium chloride. In addition, these differential proteins can be further identified by peptide mass fingerprint(PMF). Here, these combined techniques can be effectively used to extract, separate and identify the whole proteins and the differential proteins including protein markers in the biological tissue.

Objective To evaluate the effects of propofol pretreatment on blood-brain barrier disruption caused by intracarotid injection of hyperosmolar mannitol. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats aged 5-6 months, weighing 300-350 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 8 each) :Ⅰ control group; Ⅱ small-dose propofol group and Ⅲ large dose propofol group. The animals were anesthetized with isoflurane, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated (VT = 10-15 ml2kg-1, RR = 45-55 bpm) . PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Right femoral artery and vein were cannulated for BP and HR monitoring, blood sampling and drug administration. Right internal and external carotid arteries were exposed. External carotid artery was ligated and internal carotid artery was cannulated for mannitol administration. In the two propofol groups propofol 20 mg?kg-1 or 40 mg2kg-1 was injected slowly over 20 min. Ten minutes after propofol injection was started, 20% mannitol was infused at 0.25 ml?kg-1?s-1 for 30 seconds. Two minutes after intracarotid mannitol injection 20 uCi 14 C-AIB was injected via femoral vein in all three groups. Five minutes after 14C-AIB injection, 20 uCi 3H-Dextran was injected via femoral vein. Arterial blood samples were taken within 10 min after 14C-AIB injection every 20 seconds for 2 min then after an interval of 2 min every min. Altogether 14 blood samples were taken. The animals were then decapitated and cerebral cortex, cerebellum, pons and basal ganglia were separated. The radioactivity of plasma and brain specimens was counted with a liquid scintillation counter. The blood-brain Ki for 14C-AIB was calculated. Results The Ki of the ipsilateral cortex where mannitol was injected was 4.9 times as much as that of the contralateral cortex in control group, 3-5 times in small dose propofol group and 2.5 times in large dose propofol group respectively (P

Objective To detect the percentage of cultured neuron apoptosis after the neurons were treated with anoxia and specific inhibitors of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC). Methods After establishment of the model of neurons cultured under hypoxic condition, the neurons were cocultured with different concentrations of Rp-cAMP and Calphostin C, specific inhibitors of protein kinase A and C, respectively. Then neurons were cultured under an ischemic condition until the number of survived neurons, the activity of mPKA,and mPKC, and the apoptotic neurons stained by TUNEL in each group were observed. Results The activity of mPKA and mPKC significantly increased after the onset of hypoxia. With the increases in concentrations of Rp-cAMP or Calphostin C, the percentage of apoptotic neurons obviously decreased or increased, respectively. Conclusion The pathways of PKA and PKC signal transduction may participate in the hypoxic neuron injury. The functions of these two kinases are opposite for apoptotic regulation. It suggests that the signal transduction of PKA and PKC in hypoxic neurons belongs to a monophasic controlling system and the ratio of PKA to PKC in cells may determine the survival of hypoxic neurons.

AIM: To compare effects of SiNi-decoction and Vitamin E on vascular endothelial function of experimental atherosclerosis rabbits and their therapeutic action on atherosclerosis. METHODS: The model of experimental atherosclerosis rabbits fed with forage of high lipid was established and treated in groups randomly. At the end of the experiment, samples of aorta and blood were taken and the percentage of lipid plaque area of aortic endothelium ,lipid metabolism and vascular endothelial oxidative injury (SOD activity, MDA content, NO level, endothelin concentration) of each group were analyzed. RESULTS: In comparison with model group,the percentage of the lipid plaque area of aortic endothelium and endothelial oxidative injury (except for SOD of VitE group) of SiNi-high and mid-dose group and VitE group are reduced obviously (P

Aim To investigate the effects of berberine on extracellular matrix in rat glomerular mesangial cells cultured under high glucose and its possible mechanism.Methods Six groups were divided according to the different experimental conditions:① Normal glucose group (NG);② Mannitol group (Mannitol);③ High glucose group (HG);④ SB203580 treatment group (HG+SB203580);⑤ Berberine low dosagegroup (HG+BBR 30 ?mol?L-1);⑥ Berberine high dosage group (HG+BBR 90 ?mol?L-1). The phospho-p38MAPK,phospho-cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) and fibronectin were detected by Western blot analysis. Results Berberine obviously decreased protein expression of fibronectin compared with high glucose group. Phospho-p38MAPK and phospho-CREB level was significantly lowered compared with that of high glucose group. Conclusion Berberine can inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation including fibronectin via p38MAPK signal pathway in treatment of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To investigate the relation of event-related potentials (ERPs), which are evoked by calculating and number recognizing stimuli.Methods We examined 26 healthy undergraduate students with double-digit (Arabic numbers) and single-digit modify a prescription problems. While the stimulus information was presented, electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded simultaneously. ERPs were extracted from EEG data, and then the feature and source of ERPs were analyzed.Results Both calculation and number recognizing induced positive and negative components of ERPs with similar wave form and different latency. The latency of ERPs was conspicuously shorter elicited by number recognizing than by calculating. Grand mean mapping showed the highest amplitudes of ERPs were presented in parietal lobe elicited both by calculating and number recognizing.Conclusion The processing of calculating is more complicated than number recognizing. Calculating and number recognizing may have different electrophysiological background, and they belong to diverse processing course in the brain. Parietal lobe is the functional domains of them.

Objective To observe the effect of antihypertension treatment at different time after acute onset of stroke on patients' prognosis.Methods Ninety-six patients with ischemic stroke were randomly divided into three groups who received antihypertension treatment separately at the 4th,7th and 10th day after onset.Patients' neurologic deficit and ischemic events were observed at 1 month and 3 months in follow-up.Results Patients who received antihypertension at the 4th day after onset had severer neurologic deficit and more ischemic events than those who received antihypertension at the 7th or 10th day.The patients who received antihypertension treatment at the 7th and 10th day did not show significant difference in prognosis and occurrence rate of ischemic event.Conclusion It is preferable to start antihypertension treatment at the 7th day after onset for patients with ischemic stroke.

Aim To observe the expression of MRTF-A in rat glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs) induced by advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and its effect on ICAM-1 and FN;to explore whether MRTF-A is involved in the process of diabetic nephropathy by affecting NF-κB pathway.Methods Under the condition of AGEs, CCG-1423 and anti-MRTF-A small interfering RNA were used to knock down MRTF-A and MRTF-A plasmid was used to activatt MRTF-A, The expression level of MRTF-A, ICAM-1, FN and p65 in nucleus were detected by Western blot.Results The protein expressions of MRTF-A was increased in AGEs-induced GMCs.The expressions of FN and ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were downregulated by knocking down MRTF-A.However, the expressions of FN, ICAM-1 and p65 in nucleus were upregulated by overexpressing MRTF-A.Conclusions AGEs can upregulate the expression of MRTF-A in GMCs, and MRTF-A mediates the protein expressions of FN and ICAM-1 by affecting NF-κB signaling pathway in AGEs-induced GMCs.
