Objective To explore the influence of electrical stimulation on prefrontal cortical neurons and synaptic ultramicrostructure of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal rats.Methods The sixty 7-day-old newborn healthy SD rats were randomly divided into hypoxic-ischemic group(model group),electrical stimulation(intervention)group and sham operation group(control group),which 20 for each group.The models of perinatal HIBD rats were prepared by ligation of left common carotid artery with a temporary systemic hypoxia for 2 hours.Intervention group was subject to electric stimulation for 30 minutes,once everyday after surgery.Control group and model group were not subject to electric stimulation but caught to fix in corresponding period.Fastigial nucleus electric stimulations were performed for 3 d,14 d and 21 d.Five rats were killed in each group after the application of electron microscope to observe the brain cortex neurons and synaptic ultrastructure changes.Results In model group,the neuronal shrinkage,the amount of organelles dacrease,ob-vious edema of cytoplasm,obvious swellen mitochondria,and synapse quantity decrease,synaptic space fusion,obvious synaptic vesicle were observed.Intervention group different times,mitochondria hydrops gradually alleviated,synaptic space gradually cleared,synaptic vesicle increased,pathological changes obviously lessened compared to model group at the same time,and there was no apparent abnormality compared with control group on the 21st d.Conclusion Electric stimulation can promote the ultramicrostructures recovery of HIBD rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptor expressions of neonatal rat brain with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Seventy-five 7-day-old newborn health SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(control group,n=25),hypoxia-ischemia group(model group,n=25) and the electrical sti-mulation group(intervention group,n=25).To bulid HIBD animal model of neonatal rats,the left common carotid artery was ligated and nitrogen-oxygen gas mixture was inhaled 2 hours.Fastigial nucleus stimulation was given 12 hours after the operation in intervention group,30 min?time-1,1 time?d-1,the time length was 1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d or 21 d,respectively.There was no electrical stimulation in model group and control group.The rats in these groups were captured at the corresponding time.Five rats in each group were killed at the corresponding pe-riods after electrical stimulation,the expression of VEGF and its receptor fam-like tyrosine kinase receptor(flt-1 / VEGFR1),fetal liver kinase receptor(flk-1/KDR/VEGFR2) in hippocampus were observed by immunohistochemistry.SPSS 15.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results The expression of VEGF,VEGFR1,VEGFR2 at every time point in electrical stimulation group were higher significantly than those in model group and control group(Pa0.05).Conclusion Electrical stimulation can promote the expression of VEGF and its receptors VEGFR1,VEGFR2.

Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide.Previous studies have shown that microRNA-449b (miR-449b) functions as a tumor suppressor in many cancers.However,the role of miR-449b in NSCLC is still unknown.In the present study,miR-449b was significantly downregulated in NSCLC samples and cell lines.Bioinformatics analysis revealed that 3'-UTR region of leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4 (LGR4) mRNA had putative complementary sequences to miR-449b,which was further confirmed by the luciferase assay.Western blotting showed that restoration of miR-449b in NSCLC cells decreased the expression of LGR4.Interestingly,over-expression of miR-449b inhibited growth and invasion of NSCLC cells in vitro.Furthermore,ectopic expression of LGR4 reversed miR-449b-suppressed proliferation and invasion of NSCLC cells.Therefore,the data of the present study demonstrate that miR-449b inhibits tumor cell growth and invasion by targeting LGR4 in NSCLC.

This study is to investigate the effect of ethyl gallate on invasion capabilities and its mechanism of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Using cell adhesion and transwell assay, separately, the effects of ethyl gallate on the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells were measured. The Akt-NF-κB signal pathway protein expressions were analyzed with Western blot. Also, the mRNA levels of MMP-9 and MMP-2 were analyzed by RT-PCR. Ethyl gallate inhibited the abilities of motility, adhesion and invasion of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro (P<0.05), inhibited the mRNA levels of MMP-9, MMP-2, phosphorylation of AKt and protein expression of NF-κB. It is concluded that ethyl gallate can inhibit the abilities of invasion of breast cancer in vitro by inhibiting the mRNA levels of MMP-9/MMP-2, phosphorylation of Akt and protein expression of NF-κB.
