Objective To investigate the developmental profiles on surface expression and distribution of NMDA receptor clusters especially on dendritic structures in cultured hippocampal neurons of rats. Methods A vector expressing green fluorescent protein N-terminally tagged NR1a subunit(GFP-NR1a) was generated and transfected into cultured hippocamplal neurons at 5 days in vitro (DIV 5).Surface expressed GFP-NR1a containing NMDA receptor clusters was then labeled in living neurons by using anti-GFP primary antibody followed by Cy3-conjugated secondary antibody.Furthermore,distribution of the surface clusters was observed on the detailed dendritic structures visualized with co-expression of cyan fluorescent protein(CFP). Results Punctate green flourescence clusters can be seen throughout the neurons transfected with GFP-NR1a and surface staining of living neurons showed that the most of these flourescence clusters on dendritic arbors were surface expressed in mature neurons.In parallel,no significant difference was found in terms of density of the surface NMDA clusters on dendritic trees in neurons at different developmental stage.Interestingly,at DIV 7,surface NMDA receptor clusters were mostly observed on the dendritic shafts,but rarely on filopodia.In contrast,two weeks later about 50% of clusters were found located at the dendritic spines.Conclusion This study shows that surface NMDA receptor clusters are distributed in a differentiated way related to dendritic structures during neural development.Especially at very early developmental stage,no clusters was found presented on filopodia,instead they were extensively clustered with a density estimated to be not significantly different from mature neurons.Therefore,our results suggested that NMDA receptors are likely to be incorporated or recruited to postsynaptic sites in the form of pre-expressed surface cluster on dendritic shafts during glutamatergic synapse formation.

Objective To investigate whether the partially C-terminal deletion of NR2A subunit alters the surface expression and channel function of NMDA receptors in both HEK293 cells and cultured hippocampal neurons of rats. Methods Four plasmids for NR2A mutants with N-terminally GFP-tagged and C-terminal deletion NR2A?C1(?897L-1017S),NR2A?C2(?1024D-1142P),NR2A?C3(?1149D-1347G),and NR2A?C4(?1354S-1464V) were generated,and transfected into HEK293 cells and hippocampal neurons in culture.Surface staining was performed using anti-GFP antibody and Cy3 conjugated secondary antibody.Glutamate evoked currents were also detected using whole-cell recording. Results Positive surface staining was found for all the HEK293 cell co-transfected NR1-1a/NR2A?C1,NR1-1a/NR2A?C2,NR1-1a/NR2A?C3 or NR1-1a/NR2A?C4,and quantitative analysis showed no significant decrease in surface expression level when compared to that from NR1-1a/NR2A transfection.Glutamate-evoked currents were recorded in HEK293 cells co-transfected with NR1-1a/NR2A?C2 or NR1-1a/NR2A?C4.Surface expression level of NMDA receptor clusters on dendrites was significantly decreased in the neurons transfected with NR2A?C1,NR2A?C2 or NR2A?C3 than in those transfected with NR2A.Conclusion C-terminal deletion of NR2A subunit differentially effects surface expression of NMDA receptors in HEK293 cells and in hippocampal neurons in culture.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of phloroglucinol in treatment of abdominal pain caused by acute gastroenteritis.Three hundred patients with acute abdominal pain were randomly assigned to receive 80 mg intravenous infusion of phloroglucinol injection ( treatment group,n =150 ) or 10 mg anisodamine injection (control group,n =150).The pain intensity was estimated by the VAS scores before and after the injection,meanwhile adverse reactions were also recorded.The results showed that the pain intensity was relieved significantly after 1h of the injection in both groups(P ＜0.01).The effective rate of phloroglucinol was 84.1％ (126/150),while that of anisodamine was 80.0％ (120/150).The adverse reactions of treatment group were lower than that of control group( all P ＜0.01).The results indicate that phloroglucinol can effectively relieve abdominal pain caused by acute gastroenteritis with safety.

Objective To observe the effect and mechanism of Pingwei Xiaodao Capsule (Capsule for functional dyspepsia) on the gastric motility of functional dyspepsia (FD) model rats.Methods Totally 60 wistar rats were randomized into a blank control group (normal group),model group,domperidone group,Pingwei Xiaodao Capsule large,medium,and small dosage groups.Except for the normal group,the rats of all other groups were irritated by clamping tails for making FD models.Then,the treatment was given for 7 days.The comparative observation was carried out on the gastric interdigestive myoelectric complex (IMC),slow wave frequency variation coefficient,abnormal rhythm index,and gastric emptying rate of all groups.Results Compared with the model group,the IMC period of domperidone group and all Pingwei Xiaodao Capsule groups was shortened,phase Ⅲ prolonged,incidence of phase Ⅲ increased(P

Objective To evaluate the effects of stepwise and fine-grained dietary management on the diet control of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Methods Eighty liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage were assigned to experimental group (41 cases) and control group(39 cases) by random digits table method. The patients in experimental group were treated with stepwise and fine-grained dietary management and the patients in control group were given conventional dietary treatments. The compliance diet, mastery of nutrition knowledge, malnutrition risk at admission, intake food, discharge and 2 months after discharge between two groups were monitored. The incidence of rebleeding was tracked after 1 year of discharge. Results The incidence of malnutrition risk in Child-Pugh class C was higher than that in Child-Pugh class B( Z=-4.3, P<0.05 ) . The incidence of malnutrition risk in patients with high education level was lower than that in patients with lower education( r=-0.453, P<0.05 ). The experimental group significantly outperformed control group in mastery of nutrition knowledge at discharge:80(70, 84) points vs. 52(42, 64) points, in compliance diet and malnutrition risk after 2 months after discharge:86(76, 91)%vs. 53(46,57)%, 1(1, 2) points vs. 2(1,3) points, the rebleeding rate in experimental group was significantly less than that in control group within 1 year after discharge 14.6%(6/41) vs. 35.9%(14/39), and the differences were statistically significant between two groups ( χ2 = 4.226- 51.232, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Stepwise and fine-grained dietary management can improve the mastery of nutrition knowledge, compliance diet and nutritional status, and reduce the occurrence of rebleeding, worth popularizing further in clinical care of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the application value of sperm nucleoprotein immaturity and sperm DNA damage detection in in vitro fertilization(IVF).Methods From Mar.2015 to Feb.2016,routine sperm analysis,sperm nucleoprotein immaturity and sperm DNA damage detection were performed in 102 patients with infertility,and the correlation between these parameters were analyzed.Results Sperm DNA fragmentation rate was negatively correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate and sperm viability(P<0.05),while was not correlated with IVF fertility rate(P>0.05).Sperm nucleoprotein immaturity rate was not correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate and fertility rate(P>0.05),while was negatively correlated with sperm concentration(P<0.05).Conclusion Sperm DNA fragmentation rate could be closely correlated with IVF optimal embryos rate,which might be with prediction value in IVF treatment.
