Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment of different durations on the expressions of AQP4 and CLN5 in the blood-brain barrier after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion Methods Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into a model group,a sham operation group,a 7-day EA-pretreatment group (EAP-7 group) and a 15-day EA-pretreatment group (EAP-15 group),each of 16.After EA-pretreatment on the baihui and shuigou acupoints for 7 days or 15 days,a model of unilateral middle cerebral artery embolism (MCAO) model was induced in the rats of the model,EAP-7 and EAP-15 group using a modified Longa method.In the sham operation group the carotid artery was separated without middle cerebral artery embolism.The reperfusion was begun 90 min after the MCAO modeling.Immunohistochemical methods and fluorescence quantitative PCR were applied to detect the expression of AQP4,CLN5 and their mRNAs expression in the blood brain barrier (BBB) 24h after the operation.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the expression of AQP4 positive cells and AQP4 mRNA in the BBB in the other three groups had increased significantly,while the expression of CLN5 positive cells and CLN5 mRNA was significantly less.Compared with the model group,the expression of AQP4 positive cells and AQP4 mRNA in the EAP-7 and EAP-15 groups was significantly reduced,while the expression of CLN5 positive cells and CLN5 mRNA was significantly increased.Moreover,the expression of AQP4 positive cells and AQP4 mRNA in the EAP-15 group were significantly higher than in the EAP-7 group,while the expression of CLN5 positive cells and CLN5 mRNA were significantly lower.Conclusions EA-pretreatment on the baihui and shuigou acupoints can restrain the expression of AQP4-positive cells and AQP4 mRNA and promote that of CLN5-positive cells and CLN5 mRNA in the BBB after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion,at least in rats.The BBB protection effect is better when the EA-pretreatment lasts longer.The mechanisms of cerebral ischemia tolerance may be related to the regulation of AQP4,CLN5 and their mRNAs in the blood-brain barrier after cerebral injury.

Objective To observe the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in substantia nigra in rats with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods A total of 96 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group, PI3K inhibitor LY294002 group and mTOR inhibitor rapamycin group. Each group was divided into 4 days and 8 days subgroups after the model. PD model was established by injecting rotenone subcutaneously. The expres-sion of PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR in substantia nigra was detected with immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Results Compared with the sham group, the expression of PI3K, p-Akt and p-mTOR increased in the model group (P<0.05), and was more in 8 days subgroup than in 4 days subgroup (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR reduced in the LY294002 group (P<0.05), while the expression of PI3K varied little (P>0.05);the expression of p-mTOR decreased in the rapamycin group (P<0.05), while the expression of PI3K and p-Akt varied little (P>0.05). Conclusion PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is over activated in substantia nig-ra in rats with Parkinson's disease, which may play an important role in occurrence and development of the disease.

Objective: To observe the effects of tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation plus JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder on pain and shoulder joint function in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Methods: Eighty patients with SIS were recruited and divided into a control group and a treatment group by the random number table method, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was given JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder, and the treatment group received additional tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation. The visual analog scale (VAS) score and constant-Murley score (CMS) were observed before and after the intervention, and the total effective rate was also observed. Results: The total effective rate was 92.5% in the treatment group versus 70.0% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The VAS score and CMS changed notably after treatment in both groups (P<0.05), and the improvements were markedly greater in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tendon-regulating and stretching manipulation plus JIN's three-needle therapy for the shoulder can facilitate the relief of pain and the improvement of shoulder joint function in SIS patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of 5(S),6(R),7-trihydroxyheptanoic acid methyl ester (BML-111) on pregnant mice with fetal growth restriction(FGR) induced by antenatal dexamethasone and its probable mechanism. MethodsThe mice were mated overnight,with day 1 of pregnancy designated as the day on which spermatozoa were presented in a vaginal smear.The pregnant mice were then randomly divided into control group,dexamethasone group and BML-111 group.From 9 to 14 days of pregnancy,pregnant ICR mice of control,dexamethasone and BML-111 group were treated separately with saline,dexamethasone(5 mg/kg) and dexamethasone at 8:00 am,and two hours later they were treated separately again with 1 mg/kg saline,saline and BML-111.On the day 18 of gestation,they were sacrificed after blood were collected from their eyeballs.The serum lipoxin A4 was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fetuses were delivered by cesarean section; the placenta and uterus were immediately removed and frozen.Gene expressions of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 ( 11β-HSD2 ),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in placenta and lipoxin A4 receptor-formyl peptide receptor 3 (FPR3)in uterine were detected by reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction and compared with analysis of variance.The 11β-HSD2 protein in mice placenta was detected by immunohistochemistry. ResultsThe mean fetal weight of dexamethasone group was (0.823±0.054) g,lower than that of the control group and BML-111 group [(1.103±0.218) g and (0.992 ± 0.207) g] (t =- 4.108 and - 2.890,P < 0.05 respectively).Protein expression of 11β-HSD2 in dexamethasone group (0.030±0.019) was weaker than that in control group (0.058±0.015,t=-3.107,P<0.05) or in BML-111 group (0.049±0.026,t=-2.211,P<0.05).The expression of 11β-HSD2 mRNA in dexamethasone group (0.457±0.062) was lower than that in control group (0.943±0.057,t=-9.418,P<0.05) or in BML-111 group (0.698±0.071,t=-4.617,P<0.05).Expression of IL-1β mRNA in dexamethasone group (0.543±0.103)was less than that in control group (0.710± 0.085,t=-3.736,P<0.05) but more than that in BML-111 group (0.229 ±0.031,t=7.025,P<0.05). The expression of FPR3 mRNA in dexamethasone group (0.323 ± 0.019) was less than that in control group (0.857 ± 0.057,t =-14.630,P<0.05) or in BML-111 group (0.499 ±0.050,t=-4.822,P<0.05).The serum concentration of lipoxin A4 in dexamethasone group was lower than that in control group [(64.463±22.144) pg/ml vs (101.610±24.916) pg/ml,t=3.152,P<0.05].ConclusionsBML-111 regulate the expression of 11β-HSD2 and then protect against FGR resulted from too much prenatal application of dexamethasone.
