ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of hippocampal CA3 dopaminergic system in acquisition and consolidation of Pavlovian fear conditioning,and expression of GluR1 and NR2B in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC),CA1 and basolateral amygdala (BLA) after fear conditioning training.MethodsBilateral injection 6-OHDA into hippocampal CA3 to lesion dopaminergic fibers 2 weeks before fear conditioning training.The change of GluR1 and NR2B were analyzed by western blot after training.ResultsCompared with the saline group ( (66.44 ± 16.58)％ ),there were significant decreases ( (39.24 ± 12.83)％,(31.15 ±6.51 )％ ) in the consolidation of short- and long- term fear memory (P ＜ 0.05 ) but not the acquisition ( ( 65.58 ± 5.33 ) ％,P ＞ 0.05).The expression of GluR1 protein was significantly increased in BLA (P＜0.01 ) but not the mPFC or hippocampal CA1 (P＞1.05 ),compared with the saline group.In addition,the expression of NR2B protein was significantly increased in the mPFC and decreased in BLA (P＜0.01) but not the hippocampal CA1 (P＞0.05),compared with the saline group.ConclusionDown-regulation of dopaminergic system in hippocampal CA3 may impair the consolidation but not the acquisition of fear memory,and also regulate the expression of GluR1,NR2B protein related to fear memory in other brain regions.

AIM To evaluate the beneficial effects of isoliensinine on paraquat(PQ)-induced acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis and explore the mechanism of its action. METHODS PQ (45 mg·kg-1, ip)-induced acute lung injury and PQ (100 mg·kg-1, ig)-induced pulmonary fibrosis were prepared. At 8, 24 and 48 h after PQ administration, the effects of isoliensinine (20 mg·kg-1, ig, 3 times a day, from 24 h before PQ administration to the end of experiment) on activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of acute lung injury groups were evaluated respectively. On the 14 d following PQ ingestion, the effects of isoliensinine (10, 20 and 40 mg·kg-1, ig, twice a day, from 24 h before PQ administration to the end of experiment) on hydroxyproline content, transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) expressions and the histopathological changes in lung tissues of pulmonary fibrosis groups were observed. RESULTS In the acute lung injury model, isoliensinine (20 mg·kg-1) significantly increased SOD activity, and decreased MDA content and ALP activity, as well as ameliorated the histopathological damage of lung tissue compared with PQ group. However, the indexes mentioned above in isoliensinine alone group did not change obviously compared with normal saline group. In the pulmonary fibrosis model, isoliensinine (10, 20 and 40 mg·kg-1) resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of hydroxyproline content compared with PQ group [(2.11±0.21), (1.94±0.24) and (1.89±0.26), respectively, vs (2.44±0.33) mg·g-1 wet tissue]. The expressions of TGF-β1 and MMP-2 in the lung tissue of the isoliensinine 40 mg·kg-1+PQ group were significantly less than those of the PQ group. Furthermore, isoliensinine could improve the histopathological changes of fibrosis as comparison with PQ group. CONCLUSION Isoliensinine has protective effects on PQ-induced acute lung injury and pulmonary fibrosis.

AIM To study the effects of Lotusine(Lot), a pure alkaloid extracted from the green seed embryo of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, on the action potentials(APs) in myocardium and slow inward current(Isi) in cardiac Purkinje fibers(PF). METHODS standard microelectrode and two microelectrodes voltage clamp techniques were used. RESULTS Lot 1～100 ?mol?L -1 could concentration dependently prolonged APD 20 and APD 90 of fast AP and increase the contractile force(Fc) in guinea pig papillary muscles. In papillary muscles pretreated with reserpine, similar results were also observed but the effect of Lot was weaker than those pretreated without reserpine. In guinea pig left atria, Lot 30 ?mol?L -1 could partly antigoniste the shortening APD effect of acetylcholine. Lot 3～100 ?mol?L -1 could enhance the action potential amplitude(APA)and maximal velocity of phase 0 depolarization ( V max ) of slow AP of papillary muscles induced by high K + (24 mmol?L -1 )and isolated sinoatral node(SAN) pacemaker cells of rabbits with dose dependent manner,But not obvousely short the sinus cycle length of SAN. Moreover, Lot increased the Isi of in canin cardiac PF with with time dependent and dose dependent manner. CONCLUSION The results suggest that Lot has effect of prolongation of APD and increase of Ca 2+ influx and these are very important in contribution to its positive inotropic effect, which may be related to inhibition of phosphodiesterase Ⅲ.

Objective: To observe the effect of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) on creatine kinase (CK), mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, and ultrastructure of skeletal muscle in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) model rats.Methods: A total of 130 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a blank group, an exercise control group, a pre-exercise Tuina group, and a post-exercise Tuina group. According to the time points for sample collection, the exercise control group was divided into a 0 h exercise control group, a 24 h exercise control group, a 48 h exercise control group, and a 72 h exercise control group; the pre-exercise Tuina group was further divided into a 0 h pre-exercise Tuina group, a 24 h pre-exercise Tuina group, a 48 h pre-exercise Tuina group, and a 72 h pre-exercise Tuina group; and the post-exercise Tuina group was divided into a 0 h post-exercise Tuina group, a 24 h post-exercise Tuina group, a 48 h post-exercise Tuina group, and a 72 h post-exercise Tuina group. Rats in all groups except for the blank group received DOMS modeling. Professionals performed Nie-Pinching manipulation and finger Nian-Twisting manipulation on the lower limbs of the rats. The samples were collected at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h after exhaustive exercise for each pre-exercise Tuina group. The samples were collected at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h after Tuina for each post-exercise Tuina group. The changes in serum CK, skeletal muscle mitochondrial Ca2+ concentration, and Ca2+-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) were determined. The ultrastructure changes of skeletal muscles in each group were observed by a transmission electron microscope. Results: The electron microscope showed that compared with the exercise control group, the skeletal muscle structures of the pre-exercise Tuina group and the post-exercise Tuina group were significantly improved, and the overall performance of skeletal muscle in the pre-exercise Tuina group was more similar to that of the blank group. The level of serum CK in the pre-exercise Tuina group and the post-exercise Tuina group was significantly lower than that in the exercise control group (P<0.01). The Ca2+ concentration of skeletal muscle in the 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h pre-exercise Tuina groups was lower than that in the post-exercise Tuina group at the same time point (P<0.01). The Ca2+-ATPase concentration of skeletal muscle in the 24 h and 72 h pre-exercise Tuina groups was lower than that in the post-exercise Tuina group at the same time point (P<0.05).Conclusion: Tuina effectively prevents muscle damage caused by heavy exercise and long-term exercise, which may be related to the increase of skeletal muscle Ca2+-ATPase activity and mitochondrial Ca2+ transport.

OBJECTIVETo observe the changes of NYGGF4 gene expression during human preadipocyte differentiation and to explore the regulative role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) on NYGGF4 gene expression in matured human adipocytes.

METHODSHuman preadipocytes-visceral (HPA-v) were cultured in vitro and differentiated into the matured adipocytes. Fully differentiated adipocytes were treated with TNFalpha in different concentrations for 16 hours or at 10 ng/mL for various times. Levels of the NYGGF4 mRNA were evaluated by real-time reverse transcription-PCR(RT-PCR).

RESULTS(1) After induction of differentiation, more than 90% of the HPAs-v exhibited typical adipocyte morphology on the 17th day. (2) In human preadipocytes, the level of NYGGF4 mRNA expression remained low. The NYGGF4 mRNA level was gradually increased with the preadipocytes being differentiated into the matured adipocytes, and reached the highest level in the fully differentiated adipocytes. (3) Treatment of the human matured adipocytes with TNFalpha resulted in a significant increase in the level of NYGGF4 mRNA. The up-regulatory effect of TNFalpha on the NYGGF4 gene expression tended to be enhanced with the increasing concentrations and elongation of time.

CONCLUSIONDuring human preadipocytes differentiation, the level of NYGGF4 gene mRNA expression increases gradually. TNFalpha could upregulate the expression of NYGGF4 mRNA in human matured adipocytes. The regulatory effect of TNFalpha on the NYGGF4 gene expression is of dose-dependent and time-correlated.

OBJECTIVETo make a comparatively analysis of the effects of 10% KCl injection into the fatal cardiac area and yolk-sac aspiration on multifetal pregnancy reduction.

METHODSTwenty-three patients with multifetus were selected in the investigation. Eight of the patients accepted 10% KCl injection into the fatal cardiac area, and 15 of them received yolk-sac aspiration. The average number of punctures, average time of reduction operation, failure rate of operation, abortion rate, and infection rate were observed.

RESULTSThe average time of reduction operation[(2.8 +/- 0.7) min] of aspiration was significantly lower than that of 10% KCl injection [(5.11 +/- 1.35) min] (P < 0.05). The infection rate of yolk-sac aspiration was 6.7%, lower than that of 10% KCl injection (37.5%) (P > 0.05). Cardic area injection showed a higher infection rate, and no significant difference was observed in the average number of punctures, failure rate of operation and abortion rate(P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAlthough both yolk-sac aspiration and cardiac area injection were safe and reliable methods for multifetal pregnancy reduction, the former is worth recommending for its shorter operation time heeded and lower infection rate, especially for the multifetal patients within 60 gestation days.
