Objective To investigate the effects of hydrogen rich water on the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and oxidative stress in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Ninety healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, TBI group and hydrogen rich water treatment group (HW group), with 30 rats in each group.TBI model was reproduced by the modified Feeney weight dropping method.The skulls of rats in sham operation group underwent only craniotomy without direct hit.The rats in HW group received brain injury by hitting after craniotomy, followed by injection of hydrogen rich water (5 mL/kg) intraperitoneally once a day for 5 days after successful reproduction of the model.The rats in sham operation group and TBI group were given an equal amount of normal saline in same manner.Six rats from each group were sacrificed at 6, 12, 24, 48 hours and 5 days after evaluating neurological severity scores (NSS).The brain tissue in injured ipsilateral cortex was harvested.The activity of catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and content of malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by spectrophotometry.The expressions of mRNA and nucleoprotein of Nrf2 were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western Blot.The pathological changes were observed with microscopy after hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining.Results ① NSS score:compared with TBI group, NSS in HW group at 12, 24, 48 hours and 5 days were significantly decreased (12 hours: 9.83±2.32 vs.13.17±2.71, 24 hours: 9.83±2.79 vs.13.50±2.43, 48 hours: 7.50±2.07 vs.11.83±2.14, 5 days:5.50 ± 1.87 vs.10.50 ± 2.43, all P ＜ 0.05).② Compared with sham operation group, the activity of GSH-Px and CAT in TBI group were markedly declined after operation, while the MDA content was elevated significantly, especially at 24 hours [CAT (kU/g): 1.080±0.312 vs.3.571 ±0.758, GSH-Px (kU/g): 9.195±3.173 vs.32.385± 10.619, MDA (μmol/g): 12.282±2.896 vs.4.349± 1.511, all P ＜ 0.01].Compared with TBI group, the parameters in HW group were improved, and they were similar as sham operation group.③ RT-qPCR: no significant difference was found in the expression of Nrf2 mRNA at each time point in three groups.④ Western Blot: the expression of Nrf2 nucleoprotein (gray value) in TBI group was apparently higher than that in sham operation group, and peaked at 24 hours (0.703 ± 0.262 vs.0.238 ± 0.120, P ＜ 0.05), and the expression in HW group was obviously higher than that in TBI group, especially at 24 hours (1.110 ± 0.372 vs.0.703 ± 0.262, P ＜ 0.05).⑤ HE staining: the brain structure in sham operation group was found to be intact.However, there were different degrees of pathological changes at each time in TBI group, especially at 24 hours.The pathological damage of brain tissue in HW group was significantly milder.Conclusions Hydrogen rich water can up-regulate the expression of Nrf2, and reduce oxidative damage of traumatic brain injury in rats.Nrf2 can up-regulate the expression of its downstream antioxidant enzymes, which may be the mechanism of the upregulation expression of Nrf2 in the study.

Neurolymphomatosis(NL) is characterized by lymphomatous infiltration of the peripheral nervous system. We report a case of neurolymphomatosis(NL) which was confirmed by sural nerve biopsy. Sural nerve specimen from a 49-year-old female patient with weakness of limbs was examined with routine histochemical and immunohistochemistry staining, in which the first antibodies against CD3, CD20, CD45, CD45RO and CD68 were used. Numerous T-lymphoma cells invaded in the adipose tissue of epineurium of sural nerve. The nerve biopsy showed marked axonal degeneration of myelinated fibers. The clinical and histopathologic findings confirmed the diagnosis of neurolymphomatosis.

Objectives Understanding the characteristic changes of Keshan disease (KD) in different epidemic period to provide reference basis for prevention and teatment. Methods On the basis of medical record as fundamental element, the relative conditions of Keshan disease's prevailing and spreading period were compared. Results In high incidence years, familial aggregation [accounted for 12%(6/50)] and seasonal aggregation were found, and KD cases occurred mainly from May to September, which was 78% (39/50)of the total cases in the whole year. Circulatory dysfunction(gallop rhythm, pulmonary role, jugular venous engorgement, cyanosis of lips) was more severe in high incidence years than that in low incidence years(X2=8.53,P<0.01). The average age of incidence was (4.07±1.46) years old in high incidence years and (6.11±2.71) years old in low incidence years. The type constitution in high incidence years was significantly different from that in low incidence years (X2=40.68, P<0.01), and chronic type of KD accounted for 22.85%(707/3094),46.09%(53/115), respectively, in high and low incidence years. Conclusions Making a further research of seizure of disease, and improving diagnosis and cure management level are also the important content for prevention and cure research work of Keshan disease at right time.

Objective To investigate the role of NMDA receptors in central medial thalamus (CMT) in the unconscious?ness induced by general anesthesia. Methods A total of 60 rat models for microinfusion were assigned into 4 groups (n=15 for each group). After induction with propofol, 10 mmol/L (NMDA10 group), 20 mmol/L (NMDA 20 group) and 40 mmol/L (NMDA40 group) of NMDA and normal saline (group C) with equal volume were microinfused into CMT. The incidence of purposeful movement and recovery time of righting reflex were observed in each group respectively. Infusion sites were local?ized by histological method. Results When the microinfusion site localized within CMT, comparing with group C, the recov?ery time of righting reflex reduced notably in three NMDA groups (P<0.05). The recovery time was significantly shorter in NMDA20 group and NMDA40 group than that of NMDA10 group. The incidence of purposeful movement during propofol an?esthesia was higher in NMDA20 group and NMDA40 group than that of group C (P<0.05). When the microinfusion site lo?calized out of CMT, the recovery time of righting reflex was remarkably longer than that within CMT in three NMDA groups (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the incidence of purposeful movement and recovery time between four group (P>0.05). Conclusion Microinfusion of NMDA agonist into CMT reverses propofol anesthesia, indicating that NMDA receptor in CMT may contribute to the propofol-induced unconsciousness.
