SD rats were sampled and spiperone binding to serotonin2A receptors on brain and platelets were tested before and after a section training or long-term(3 weeks) intensive training using radiolabeled receptor assay. Results showed that there were significant increment of concentration of 5-HT in brain and decrease of 5-HT 2A R density in specific binding sites(B max ) on membranes of brain and platelets post acute intensive exercise. The downregulation of B max of 5-HT 2A R could be prevented by the supplement of BCAA+CHO during 3 weeks' intensive training. There was a positive effect on the delay of central fatigue with the supplement of BCAA+CHO during long-term intensive exercise.

Objective:To study the clinicopathologic features of IgG4-related pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor (IRPIP), and its correlations with CD4+T lymphocytes and interleukin-10 (IL-10) expression,and to investigate the immunopathological factors in the disease of IgG4-related pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor .Methods: Expressions of IL-10, CD3, CD20, CD4, CD8 were examined by immunohistochemistry in 17 cases of IgG4-related pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor tissues and 15 cases of IgG4-nonrelated pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumor tissues ( INPIP) .To analyze the differences of these indexes expression between IRPIP and INPIP.Results: In group of IRPIP, the CD4+T lymphocytes number and the ratio of CD 4+T lymphocytes number/CD8+T lymphocytes number were all apparently higher than those in the group of INPIP (P=0.006,0.023,respectively).The cells numbers of CD3,CD8,IL-10 positive expression in IRPIP were higer than those in INPIP ,and the cells number of CD20 positive expression in IRPIP was lower than that in INPIP,but these differences all had no statistical significance (P>0.05).In IRPIP,the number of IgG4+plasmacytes was positively related to the number of IL-10+cell (r=0.517),the correlation had statistical significance (P=0.033). Conclusion:The number of CD4+T lymphocytes increased in addition to the increased number of IgG 4+plasmacytes in the lesion back-ground of IRPIP,and the number of IgG4+plasmacytes was positively related to the number of IL-10+cells.It is suggested that the increased number of Th 2 lymphocyte and the increased secretion of cytokine IL-10were are immunopathological factors participated in the disease of IRPIP .

Objective: To construct a lentiviral expression vector that inhibits enhanced green fluorescent proteins(EGFP).Methods: The EGFP shRNA was cloned into the pLL3.7 lentivirus vector digested with XbaⅠ/XhoⅠ.J558L and Hela cells were infected by lentiviruses,and the EGFP expression was observed with the fluorescence microscope.Results: The EGFP RNAi sequence was correctly cloned into the lentivirus vector with the U6 promoter,and the EGFP expressions of Hela and J558L cells were suppressed after infected by lentivirus containing EGFP shRNA. Conclusion: The lentivirus vector effectively inhibited EGFP expression,which could be used to mediate further researches on gene function.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of phosphorylated protein kinase R-like ER kinase(p-PERK) and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP) after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage ( HIBD) . Methods Neonatal 7-day-old Sprague Dawley rats were divided into sham-operation control group and HIBD group( n=30 per group) . Each group was divided into 0 h,6 h and 24 h subgroup after operation ( n=10 per group) . The ratio of apoptosis of brain cell was measured by flow cytometer and the expression of p-PERK and CHOP were detected by Western blot. Results (1)Apoptosis cell appeared at 6 h in HIBD group,the ratio of cell apoptosis was(2. 17 ± 0. 19)%. The apoptosis cell obvious increased at 24 h,the ratio of cell apoptosis was(13. 42 ± 0. 83)%. There was a significant increase in the ratio of apoptosis after HIBD 6 h and 24 h, as compared with sham-operation control group [ ( 0. 57 ± 0. 06 )%( P <0. 01 ) ] . ( 2 ) The expression of both p-PERK and CHOP was very low in sham-operation control group. In the HIBD group,the expression of both p-PERK and CHOP began to increase at 6 h and increased furthermore at HIBD 24 h. The differences in the expression levels of p-PERK and CHOP in HIBD group among different time points were significant( P<0. 01 ) . ( 3 ) The expression of p-PERK positively correlated with the expression of CHOP (r=0. 997,P< 0. 05). Conclusion With the emerging of apoptosis after HIBD,the expression of both p-PERK and CHOP increases. The imbalance in the expression of PERK induces the apoptosis of brain cells in the HIBD of neonatal rats by regulation of CHOP expression.

Objective To evaluate the prevention of glucocorticoid -induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH)with Tongluo Shenggu Capsule(TSC).Methods One hundred and twenty adult SD rats were randomized into six groups:normal control group,model group,clofibratum group and three -dose TSC groups(high -,moderate -and low -dose respectively).ANFH rat models were established by injection of glucocorticoid once per week and the med-ication groups were given drugs by ga stric infusion one time a day.The rats were killed in the fourth,eighth and twelfth week respectively.Then the macrosc opic and microscopic feature of the f emoral head were observed,and ink -p erfused specimens of the femoral head were detected and analyzed by auto -photograph software of Metamoph to evaluate the pre-ventive effect of TSC.Results In TSC groups,bone trabecula grew we ll,similar to the normal group;lacu nar bone per-centage was lower than that in the mod el group;fatty degeneration in marrow cavity of the femoral head was redu ced,andthe number of subcartilaginous bloo d vessels and their diameter were increased as compared with those in the model group(P

Objective:To study the influence of protein transduction domain (PTD)-oligomerization domain (OD)-HA fusion proteins on apoptosis of bcr/abl-positive cell lines. Methods:bcr/abl-positive cells were treated with PTD-OD-HA protein. The apoptoses of the cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM), DNA ladder and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the levels of apoptosis-related genes bax and bcl-2 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results:FCM examination demonstrated that PTD-OD-HA protein induced the apoptosis of bcr/abl-positive cells; DNA ladder showed that the classic DNA ladders appeared in BaF3-P210 and K562 cells after 48 h treatment with PTD-OD-HA proteins; the apoptoses of BaF3-P210 cells were observed by TEM; the levels of bax in mRNA and protein increased in BaF3-P210 and K562 cells, and bcl-2 decreased. Conclusion:PTD-OD-HA proteins specifically induced the apoptosis of bcr/abl positive cells.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of acupuncture combined with training of the modified rehabilitation apparatus on upper limb motor function of patients with ischemic stroke.Methods86 patients with ischemic stroke were divided randomly into the treatment group ( treated by acupuncture combined with training of the rehabilitation apparatus) and the control group (treated by simple acupuncture). The upper limb motor function of two groups was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) before and after treatment.ResultsAfter 28 days treatment, scores of FMA of two groups were all raised significantly, but it was significantly greater for the treatment group than the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionIt is shown that acupuncture combined with training of the rehabilitation apparatus can improve the upper limb motor function and activity of daily living of patients with ischemic stroke.

BACKGROUND:Hereditary factor occupies a certain position in suicidal behavior of depression. The researches in the past are focused on the hereditary effect on bipolar depression suicide.How do hereditary patterns and effects work in suicidal behavior in unipolar depression?OBJECTIVE: To probe into hereditary patterns and effects on suicidal behavior in unipolar depression.DESIGN:Retrospective investigation.SETTING:A municipal psychiatric hygienic centerPARTICIPANTS:Unipolar depression group included 115 outpatients and inpatients diagnosed in Wuxi Psychiatric Hygienic Center from June 1st 1983 to May 31st 2002.The diagnosis tallied with Standards on Depression Onset in Categories and Diagnostic Standards on Psychiatric Disturbance in China of 3rd Edition and with Standards on Severe Depression Onset in Manual of Diagnosis and Statistics of Psychiatric Disturbance in America of 4th Edition.The attack frequency of all the cases ≥ 3 times or the cases had been relieved ≥8 years after a couple of attacks.METHODS:The patients who tallied with the standards on unipolar depression received the investigation in every family tree under the instruction of 2 physicians-in-charge and more than 2 physicians and filled up the self-made investigation form of psychiatric family tree,including mainly the data of social demography of patients and their first grade relatives,characters of disease onset,frequency of attack,history of treatment and suicide. After re-diagnosed by 2 physicians-incharge and more than 2 physicians and checked by one physician-incharge,the cases were collected in patient group. The interview was carried on for the patients with suicidal behavior among all of the survived patients (107 cases) and first grade relatives (14 cases).The interview (337 cases) and investigation with letter (380 cases) were carried on for the first grade relatives without suicidal behavior. The investigation forms of 13 dead cases (8 cases of patients, 5 cases of first-grade relatives) were provided and filled-up by one or two first grade relatives. Two researchers interviewed the cases in the control,inquired the first grade relatives and filled up the investigation form of family tree.Single factor analysis was used for all the data and Falconer pattern of polygenetic threshold-value theory was used to estimate hereditary rate and standard error in suicidal behavior.Separation analysis in medical hereditary mathematic method and polygenetic threshold-value theory were applied to discuss the hereditary patterns.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Hereditary effects and patterns of suicidal behavior in unipolar depressed patients.RESULTS:Suicidal risk of unipolar depressed patients(51.30%,59/115)was higher than their first grade relatives (2.58%,19/736) (x2=283.16,P ＜ 0.01).Suicidal risk of the first grade relatives (2.58%,19/736) of unipolar depressed patients was higher than the control (0.12%,3/2469)(x2=50.36,P ＜ 0.01).Suicidal risk of the first grade relatives of the patients with suicidal behavior (3.8%,14/372) was higher than that of the first grade relatives of the patients without suicidal behavior (1.4%,5/363)(x2=4.14,P＜ 0.05).The weighted average hereditary rate and standard error was (70.16±0.79)% for suicidal behavior in unipolar depression.The predictive morbidity of suicidal behavior in the first grade relatives was 3.1% and the real morbidity was 2.6%,which did not indicate significant difference (u =0.766, P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION:Suicidal behavior of unipolar depression presents obvious hereditary effects and its hereditary patterns tally with polygenetic inheritance.

Objective To study the protective effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on brain tissue with cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) and its mechanism.Methods 120 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups (each n =40),namely:sham group,routine chest compression group,and conventional chest compression + EPO group (EPO group).The rats in each group were subdivided into CA and 6,12,24,48 hours after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) five subgroups (each n =8).The model of CA was reproduced according to the Hendrickx classical asphyxia method followed by routine chest compression,and the rats in sham group only underwent anesthesia,tracheostomy intubation and venous-puncture without asphyxia and CPR.The rats in EPO group were given the routine chest compression + EPO 5 kU/kg (2 mL/kg) after CA.Blood sample was collected at different time points of intervention for the determination the content of serum S100 β protein by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).All the rats were sacrificed at the corresponding time points,and the hippocampus was harvested for the calculation of the number of S100 β protein positive cells,and to examine the pathological changes and their scores at 24 hours after ROSC by light microscopy.Results With prolongation of ROSC time,the serum levels of S100 β protein (μg/L) in the routine chose compression group and the EPO group were significantly elevated,peaking at 24 hours (compared with CA:305.7 ± 29.2 vs.44.4 ± 6.2 in routine chest compression group,and 276.7±28.9 vs.44.7±5.6 in the EPO group,both P ＜ 0.05),followed by a fall.The levels of S100β protein at each time point after ROSC in EPO group were significanthy lower than those of the routine chest compression group (83.2 ± 7.5 vs.114.3 ± 15.3 at 6 hours,123.9 ± 20.2 vs.184.9 ± 22.2 at 12 hours,276.7 ± 28.9 vs.305.7 ± 29.2 at 24 hours,256.3 ± 26.6 vs.283.2 ± 23.6 at 48 hours,all P ＜ 0.05).With the prolongation of ROSC time,the S100 β protein positive cell number in brain (cells/HP) in the routine chest compression group and the EPO group was significantly increased,peaking at 24 hours (compared with CA:14.3±2.2 vs.6.7±0.7 in the routine chest compression group,11.3± 1.3 vs.6.8±0.9 in the EPO group,both P ＜ 0.05),then it began to fall.The S100 β protein positive cell number in brain at each time point after ROSC in the EPO group was significantly lower than that of the routine chest compression group (7.0±0.9 vs.7.9± 1.9 at6 hours,8.4± 1.1 vs.10.2±2.2 at 12 hours,11.3± 1.3 vs.14.3±2.2 at24 hours,8.3±0.8 vs.10.8±2.0 at48 hours,all P ＜ 0.05).Under the light microscope,a serious brain cortex injury was found after reproduction of the model,and the degree of injury was reduced after EPO intervention.The pathological score at 24 hours after ROSC in EPO group was lower than that of routine chest compression group (3.83±0.73 vs.4.17±0.75,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The S100β protein level in serum and brain tissue was increased early in asphyxia CA-CPR rats.EPO intervention can reduce the expression of S100 protein and reduce the degree of brain injury.
