Chinese Journal of Neurology 2010;43(12):878-882
Objective The effects of nemo-like kinase(NLK)in inflammation of central nervous system were explored. Methods An animal model with central nervous system inflammation disease induced by intracerebroventricular infusion of lipopolysaccharide was constructed. A model of neuronal apoptosis induced by glutamate in PC12 cells was constructed. A pcdna 3.1-NLK over-expression plasmid and a pSilencer 4. 1-CMV-NLK small interfering plasmid were also constructed. The expression and location of NLK were detected using western blot analysis, double immunofluorescent staining, and cell counting kit-8 assay. Results The protein level of NLK was reduced after induction of inflammation in the brain(t =2. 718-3. 106, all P <0. 01), and NLK was only expressed in both cortical and hippocampal neurons. At the cellular level, NLK expression was gradually reduced along with neuronal apoptosis induced by glutamate in PC12(t =4. 032, P <0. 01). Over-expression of NLK would reduce the apoptosis of neurons induced by glutamate(t =3. 930, P < 0. 01). Conversely, interfering the expression of NLK would enhance neuronal apoptosis(t = 2. 845, P < 0. 01). Conclusion NLK can protect neurons by inhibiting apoptosis in the process of central nervous system inflammation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Kangfuxin liquid in the treatment of pediatric hand,foot and mouth disease. METHODS:128 children with hand,foot and mouth disease were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 64 cases in each group. Control group was given routine treatment as herpes and oral care,antibiotics for infec-tive children reflected by hemogram elevation,fluid infusion and non-steroidal analgesic-antipyretic agent based on disease condi-tion. Observation group was additionally given Kangfuxin liquid,3 ml for below 3 year-old,tid and 5 ml for more than 3 year-old,tid. Clinical efficacy of 2 groups were observed as well as CRP,lactic acid,Ig,the level of myocardial enzyme before and after treatment;the time of symptoms and signs disappearance and ADR were compared between 2 groups after treatment. RE-SULTS:The total effective rate of observation group(89.06%)was significantly higher than that of control group(70.31%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in CRP,lactic acid,Ig and myocardial enzyme before treat-ment and IgM level after treatment between 2 groups,with statistical significance(P>0.05). CRP,lactic acid creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase level of 2 groups decreased significantly,while IgA and IgG levels increased significantly,and the observa-tion group was higher than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Antipyretic time,hand foot skin rash subsided time and oral ulcer healing time of observation group were significantly shorter than those of control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Kangfuxin liquid is effective in the treatment of hand,foot and mouth disease in children,and can effectively improve CRP,Ig,lactic acid,and myocardial enzyme level with good safety.

Objective To observe the month age distribution of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) expression in rat kedney. Methods Wistar rats aged 3 months,12 months and 24 months were made as models who represented young, middle-aged and old group respectively. Western blotting, immunohistochemical (IHC) and in-situ hybridization (ISH) were used to detect the expression and location of protein and mRNA of PPARγ in rat kidney. Results Western blotting results showed that the expression of PPARγ protein was higher in 3 months group than in 24 months group (0.94±0.05 vs. 0.78±0.02, P<0.01) and 12 months group (0.87±0.04, P>0.05), and it reduced in 24 months group than in 12 months group (P>0.05). By IHC,the PPARγ protein was localized predominantly in the nuclear of tubular epithelia and collecting duct cells in each group. In old age group, PPARγ protein was also detected little in the mesangial and Bowman's capsule epithelial cells. Meanwhile, the distribution of PPARγ mRNA with ISH was consistent with above findings. Additional, semi-quantitative analysis of ISH results verified that the level of PPARγ mRNA decreased with ageing. Conclusions As a nuclear transcription factor,PPARγ participates in the regulation of rat kidney aging.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of carbon monoxide(CO) on the permeability of brain blood barrier(BBB) in cerebral ischemic rats. METHODS: SD rats were divided into three groups. Saline, hemin or ZnPP were injected intraperitoneally 12 h before middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO), respectively. The concentration of blood CO and the permeability of BBB at 24 h after MCAO were measured. RESULTS: The CO concentration in blood in hemin group was higher than that in saline group( P 0.05). CONCLUSION: CO reduced the permeability of BBB as a messenger gas molecular when its intrinsic concentration was elevated.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of sample pooling strategy on 2019-nCoV RNA detection results.Methods:Ten negative swabs were stored in 6 ml virus transport medium, mixed thoroughly and diluted 1∶2 and 1∶10. Inactivated 2019-nCoV culture medium was added to simulate pooling samples: 10 pooling samples, 5 pooling samples and 1 swab sample. Extraction and amplification were made using three nucleic acid extraction reagents a, b, and c with different extraction methods and systems, as well as five 2019-nCoV detection reagents A-E with various template loading volumes and sensitivities respectively.Results:For the same sample, the Ct values of extracted templates a were 2.10±0.47 and 3.46±0.62 earlier than extracted templates b and c. For samples with identical amplifying, the Ct valves of N and ORF1ab gene of A reagent were 1.16±0.48 and 2.36±0.54 earlier than that of reagent B. Adding nucleic acid of 10 negative swabs to the amplification system lagged the Ct values of reagent A by about 1.36±0.32 Ct, while Ct values of reagent B were not affected. Extracted by regent a, a lag of 1.66±0.39 Ct on average was observed in C, D, and E reagents in detecting pooling samples of ten swabs as compared with one swab sample. When extracting 400 copies/ml pooling samples of ten swabs by reagent a, N gene could be detected by reagents C and E, but not by reagent D.Conclusion:Large amount of extraneous DNA is introduced by sample pooling, which could interfere the effiency of extraction and amplification. Strategies of using extraction reagents with large loading volume and high effiency, together with amplification reagents with large template volume and low limit of detection are helpful for ensuring detection sensitivity of pooling samples, and greatly reducing the risk of false negative results.
