Objective To investigate the effects of alcohol on hippocampal apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and caspase-3 expression in cercbral ischemia/reperfusion in rats.Methods Sixty-eight healthy adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group (n =4) and a saline control group as well as low-dose (1.0 g/kg),medium-dose (1.5 g/kg) and high-dose (2.0 g/kg) ethanol groups.The saline control group and each dose alcohol group were redivided into ischemia/reperfusion 0,1,2 and 3 h subgroups according to the intervention time points (n =4 in each group).A model of middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion in rats was induced by the suture method.The corresponding doses of ethanol or an equal volume of saline were injected intraperitoneally at ischemia for 2 h and reperfusion for 0,1,2 and 3 h in the alcohol groups and the saline control group.At ischemia for 2 hand reperfusion for 24 h,the neurological deficit in rats was evaluated by using behavioral score.Immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect the expressions of AIF and caspase3 in the hippocampus of ischemic sides at ischemia for 2 hand reperfusion for 24 h.Results The behavior evaluation showed that the neurological deficit score was 0 in the sham operation group.The neurological deficit scores in the different dose ethanol groups were significantly lower than those in the saline control group at the same intervention time points (all P=0.000),and there were significant differences between the same intervention time points in the different dose ethanol groups (all P =0.000).The high-dose ethanol group was the lowest.There were no significant differences between the different intervention time points in the same dose ethanol groups (all P＞0.05).Immunohistochemistry revealed that the numbers of positive cells of AIF and caspase-3 in the sham operation group were 17.21 ±2.86 and 20.60 ±4.39,respectively,and they were significantly less than those in the saline control group and the each dose ethanol group at ischemia/reperfusion 0 h (all P =0.000); the number of positive cells of hippocampal AIF and caspase-3 in the different dose ethanol groups were all significantly less than those in the saline control group at the same intervention time points (all P =0.000).There were significant differences between the same intervention time points in the different dose ethanol groups (all P =0.000),and the high-does ethanol group was the lowest.There were no significant differences between the different intervention time points in the same dose ethanol groups (all P =0.000).Conclusions Alcohol has protective effect on the cerebral tissue in ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.Its mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of AIF and caspase-3 expression.

High-fat diet-induced insulin resistance rat model was assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.Compared with the control group,the vaspin mRNA expression in adipose tissue was significantly decreased in insulin resistant rats induced by high-fat diet( P＜0.05 ),which was increased by metformin( P＜0.05 ).These data indicate that metformin may ameliorate insulin resistance in rats via upregulating vaspin mRNA expression.

AIMThe effects of angiotensin II on the changes of Ca2+ signal in cultured rat neonatal myocytes were investigated in order to reveal the localization and distribution of elementary Ca2+ signaling units.

METHODSThe cultured neonate rat myocytes were treated with angiotensin II, and calcium signal was detected using confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluo-4/AM calcium probe.

RESULTSThe propagation of Ca2+ waves was observed in rest and angiotensin II stimulated cardiac myocytes. Calcium fluorescent intensity oscillated slightly in myocytes and the average intensity was much higher in the nucleus than in the cytosol, all of which could be magnified significantly by AngII (10(-6) mol/L). Ca2+ oscillation induced by Ang II was completely blocked by NO donor sodium nitroprusside. AngII evoked Ca2+ sparks close to the cell surface membrane, and couldn't be abolished by sodium nitroprusside.

CONCLUSIONThere are spatiotemporal dynamics of Ca2+ signaling patterns such as Ca2+ wave, Ca2+ spikes, Ca2+ oscillation and the whole cell Ca2+ transients induced by angiotensin II, which might play very important roles in cellular cardiac function.
