Objective To study the effects of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube with different doses on the cellular proliferation of human embryo kidney 293 cells.Methods The cultured human embryo kidney cell line 293 was seeded into 96-well plates and various concentrations of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube were added into different groups of culture.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay were applied to detect the cellular viabilities after being incubated with Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube for 48 hours and the results were calculated with specific static software to protract the cell viability curve.Results The Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube had different effects of inhibiting the multiplies of 293 cells depending on its concentrations.In addition,when the concentration of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube reached over 0.5ug/ml,the inhibition became significantly.Conclusions Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube can penetrate the cell membrane of 293 cells to influence the activities of cells and the ability of proliferation will be decreased significantly when the concentration came to some degree.Therefore,the safety dosage of the Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube on human normal embryo kidney 293 cells were estimated in this research.

The projections from the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) and the nuclei parabrachiales (PB) to the nucleus accumbens (Acc) in the rat have been visulized using anterograde and retrograde HRP tracing techniques. After injecting HRP into the Acc, retrogradely labelled neurons were observed in bilateral PB and NTS with ipsilateral predominance. The labelled neurons were concentrated in the following areas of the PB and NTS: the waist area of the caudal PB, the external subnucleus and other part of the nucleus medialis parabrachialis (PBm), the external, central, and internal subnuclei of the nucleus lateralis parabrachialis (PB1) and the medial subnucleus of the caudal NTS (NTSm). After injecting HRP into the NTSm and commissural nucleus of the NTS, anterogradely labelled terminals were found bilaterally in the PBm and the ventral 3/4 area of the PB1. The densest sites occupied the waist area, the external, central, and internal subnuclei of the PB1. The density of the labelled terminals on the ipsilateral side was little higher than that on the contralateral side. The results indicate that there are two possible pathways from the NTS to the Acc, the one is the direct projection from the medial subnucleus of the caudal NTS to the Ace, the other is an indirect one, i. e. from the medial subnucleus and commissural nucleus of the caudal NTS to the waist area of the caudal PB, the external subnucleus, the dorsal part of the PBm, the external, central, and internal subnuclei of the PB1, where the NTS projection is. presumed to be relayed, and then, project from the PB to the Acc. This connection may be involved in the neural regulation of visceral and locomotor activities.

Objective:To sduty the effect of β-lactam antibiotics efiriaxone on the levels of glutamate and glutamate transporter subtype-1 in hippocampus following traumatic brain injury in rats.Methods: All rats were divided randomly into three groups:sham group;TBI group and CTX group.The rat model of TBI were made by modified Feeney method ,and treated with ceftriaxone immediately after injury ( 200 mg/kg ).Wet-dry weight method was used to evaluate brain edema.The content of glutamate in hippocampus was measured with the high performance liquid chromatography.The expression of GLT-1 in hippocampus areas was tested by immunohisto-chemical and Western blot methods.Results:Compared with TBI group ,TBI-induced cerebral edema was significantly attenuated ( P<0.05 ) , the content of glutamate in hippocampus was were significantly decreased ( P<0.05 ) , the level of GLT-1 were significantly increased in CTX group ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: β-lactam antibiotics ceftriaxone can block the excitatory neurotoxicity , reduce the extent of brain edema.

Objective:To measure the effective optical zone (EOZ) after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) by using corneal topographic map and modulation transfer function (MTF), and to analyze the related factors affecting the EOZ.Methods:A retrospective observational case series study was performed.Sixty-two myopic patients (62 eyes) who underwent SMILE between December 2015 and July 2017 in Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital were enrolled.The EOZ was measured by using tangential corneal curvature topographic map and MTF pre- and 6-month post-operatively.The repeatability of data was determined by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach Alpha coefficients; the agreement of data was identified by using Bland-Altman plot; the correlations between EOZ and surgical parameters were analyzed by utilizing Pearson correlation coefficient.This study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital(No.2015[013]). Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before surgery.Results:The ICC and Cronbach Alpha coefficients of EOZ measured by corneal topographic map were greater than 0.9, which showed high intraobserver repeatability.The Bland-Altman plots displayed relatively good agreement between the two methods.The 95% limits of agreement was -0.49 to 0.89 μm.Six months after SMILE, the EOZ measured by tangential corneal curvature gradient topographic map was (5.32±0.25)mm, which was (1.18±0.25)mm smaller than predicted optical zone, and the EOZ measured by MTF method was (5.07±0.32)mm, which was (0.20±0.35)mm smaller than corneal tomographic EOZ, and the difference was significant ( t=-4.487, P<0.01). A negative correlation was found between the EOZ and attempted refractive correction ( r=-0.364, P=0.004). The positive correlations were found between the EOZ and ΔKm or ΔQ 6 months after SMILE ( r=0.367, 0.514; both at P<0.01). Conclusions:The EOZ measured by tangential corneal curvature topographic map after SMILE is of high repeatability and is consistent with the result calculated by MTF method.The EOZ is significantly reduced after SMILE.

The expression of paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) in normal and injured spinal cord of rats was investigated. The SD rat hemi-sectioned spinal cord injury (SCI) model was established. Before and 1, 3, 7, 10 days after SCI, the spinal cord tissues were harvested, and Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the expression and location of PirB. The results showed that the expression level of PirB in the normal spinal cord of SD rats was low. At the first day after SCI, the expression of PirB was obviously increased, and that in the injured spinal cord from the first day to the 10th day was significantly higher than in the normal spinal cord. The positive expression of PirB in neurons from different regions of gray matter of the injured spinal cord was seen. It was concluded that the expression of PirB in the normal spinal cord of rats was low. The expression of PirB in SCI was significantly increased till at least the 10th day.

To construct a lentiviral shRNA vector targeting human protein phosphatase 1D magnesium-dependent (PPM1D) gene and detect its effectiveness of gene silencing in human gliomas, specific siRNA targets with short hairpin frame were designed and synthesized. DNA oligo was cloned into the pFU-GW-iRNA lentiviral expression vector, and then PCR and sequencing analyses were conducted to verify the constructs. After the verified plasmids were transfected into 293T cells, the lentivirus was produced and the titer of virus was determined. Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the PPM1D expression level in the infected glioma cells. PCR and Western blot analyses revealed the optimal interfering target, and the virus with a titer of 6×10(8) TU/mL was successfully packaged. The PPM1D expression in human glioma cells was knocked down at both mRNA and protein levels by virus infection. The expression of PPM1D mRNA and protein was decreased by 76.3% and 87.0% respectively as compared with control group. The multiple functions of human glioma cells after PPM1D RNA interference were detected by flow cytometry and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Efficient down-regulation of PPM1D resulted in significantly increased cell apoptosis and reduced cell proliferation and invasion potential in U87-MG cells. We have successfully constructed the lentiviral shRNA expression vector capable of stable PPM1D gene silencing at both mRNA and protein levels in glioma cells. And our data gave evidence that the reduced cell growth observed after PPM1D silencing in glioma cells was at least partly due to increased apoptotic cell death.
