Objective To explore the changes of Bcl-xl levels and activities in hippocampus resulting from sleep deprivation, and then to reveal the mechanism for rapid antidepressant aroused by sleep deprivation.Methods 40 SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, chrinic stress group, sleep deprivation group and tank contral group.10 rats in each group.The depression animal model was established by chronic mild unpredictable stress(CUMS) methods.Sleep deprivation was preformed by the modified multiple platform method ( MMPM ).The animal model and the effect of antidepressant were evaluated by the open field test.The expression levels of Bcl-xl were separately observed by immunohistochemical technology in hippocampus CA1 ,CA3 and DG.Results 1.Compared with the normal control rats, ambulation ( 35.30 ± 18.77,81.30 ± 18.41, P < 0.01 ) and rearing (20.50 ±4.84,27.70 ± 8.19, P<0.05 ) increased ,and the stopping time in the center decreased (4.60 ± 1.35,2.20 ± 1.55, P < 0.01 ) in the CUMS depressant animal model.2.The Bcl-xl average values of optical density (OD) in hippocampus CA1 ,CA3 ,DG of the model group was lower than that of the normal control group significantly (0.1356 ±0.0224,0.1389 ±0.0250,0.1457 ±0.0162;0.1725 ±0.0327,0.1734 ±0.0261,0.1768 ±0.0271; P<0.01 ) ,and that of the sleep deprivation group was higher than that of the model group (0.1621 ± 0.0128,0.1603 ± 0.0137,0.1625 ± 0.0192 ;0.1356 ± 0.0224,0.1389 ± 0.0250,0.1457 ± 0.0162; P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Rats showed depressive behaviors after 21 days stresses,while 72 hours sleep deprivation could reverse this effect.The up regulation of the expression and phosphorylation of Bcl-xl by sleep deprivation may participate in the antidepressant-like effect of sleep deprivation.

Experiments on the use of ultrafiltration in the preparation of Shengmaiying oral liquid were carried out in comparison with the conventional preparation procedure. Results showed that the product obtained had abetter clarity and less impurities. It is postulated that such technique can be used in the purification of many oral liquid preparations of compounded herbal formulations with efficient removal of impurities while retaining the main active principles. The selection of ultrafiltration equipment,its optimum working pressure,temperature and filtration rate were discussed.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of transfection of Sonic hedgehog gene (SHH)into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSC).Methods After the SHH gene was transfected into BMMSC by electroporation apparatus,the transfection rate was evaluated by fluorescence inverted microscope.The growth curves of untransfected and transfected BMMSC were drawn,respectively,to observe the influence of transfection on cells.The expression of SHH gene in the BMMSC was detected by PCR,RT-PCR,Western-blot analyses.Results Through fluorescence inverted microscope,the observed transfection rate was appropriately 30%,PCR showed a obvious increase of SHH expression in transfected cells than that in untransfected cells,and it is quantified by qPCR for appropriately 7 times.Western-blot further demonstrated that the SHH protein expression in transfected cells had a distinct increase.However,it was observed that the exponential phase of BMMSCSHH growth curve delayed.The growth curves of both overlap 12 days after transfection.Conclusions This electroporation method can transfect exogenous SHH gene into BMMSC sufficiently with the effective protein expression in BMMSCSHH.It is the foundation of further research of genetic therapy for ischemic heart disease.

Objective To observe the immunoglobulin A secreting cells (IgASCs) and secretory IgA (sIgA) level in jejunum of mice infected with plerocercoids,and to understand the roles of resistance to invasion processes of the plerocercoids.Methods A total of 100 Kunming mice (half males and half females) were chosen,the weight was 20-25 g,they were randomly divided into control and experiment groups according to their body weight via the random number table method,50 per group.Mice of experiment group were fed each with 5 plerocercoids in snakes,and mice of control group were not infected,testing time and methods were the same in the two groups.Ten mice were randomly sacrificed from one group on days 1,7,14,28 and 56 after infection,to collect empty intestinal juice and jejunal segment.The immunohistochemical method was used to examine the quantity of IgASCs in jejunal mucosa,while enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to test the level of slgA of jejunal fluid.Results The IgASCs were distributed in lamina propria of the jejunal mucosa,and the percentage of positive IgASCs reached the peak value [(64.24 ± 0.60)%] at d 1 after infection in experiment group,then decreased,and it was lower than control group at d 14 [(41.98 ± 0.42)% vs (43.52 ± 0.94)%,t =-4.727,P < 0.01].The sIgA level reached the peak value [(22.05 ± 1.43) mg/L] at d 7 after infection in experiment group,then decreased,and there was no statistical significant difference between control and experiment groups at d 56 [(20.00 ± 0.42) mg/L vs (21.26 ± 2.59) mg/L,t =1.516,P > 0.05].There was a positive correlation between the percentage of positive IgASCs in the jejunal mucosa and sIgA level in the jejunal fluid at d 7 after infection (r =0.663,P < 0.01),and there was a negative correlation between them at d 14 after infection (r =-0.542,P < 0.05).Conclusion The plerocercoids infection might induce high level expressions of IgASCs and sIgA,they show positive correlation at d 7 after infection.
