This paper reports the effect of sodium selenite on dorsal root potentials(DR-DRP; VR-DRP)in the isolated toad spinal cord. The results indicate that selenite has a double phase effect or dorsal root potentials, that is, increasing the amplitude first, and then decreasing it. Using sucrose gap technique, we have proved that selenite has a dcoplarization effect on the dorsal roots. Further experiments indicate that spontaneous dorsal root potentials induced by selenite are attributed to its actions on the interneurons activities of the spinal cord. In addition, the mechanism of selenite's effects was discussed.

The effects of sodium selenite on ventral root reflexs in the isolated spinal cord of the toad were investigated. It was found that the effects of selenite on ventral root reflexs were excited first and then inhibited gradually. Using sucrose gap technique, we have found that selenite produced a significant depolarization on the rentral roots. Mg~(2+)ion markedly reduced this effect, which indicated that selenite had an importment action on interneurons activities of the spinal cord. Sodium selenite could antagonized the post-tetanus hyperpolarization of the ventral roots, which gave another evidenoe for proving its depolarization. The data described above suggest that the actions of sodium selenite on toad spinal cord are exciting first and then inhibiting gradually.

Objective To study the correlationship among plasma lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2),hypersensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and D-dimer levels of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients.To evaluate their relationship and prognostic values.Methods Case control study.This study enrolled 150 CHD patients,130 age and gender compared health control.The clinical data were recorded and plasma Lp-PLA2,hs-CRP and D-dimer were test.Lp-PLA2 was test by enzyme kinetics method,hs-CRP and D-dimer were test by immunonephelometry method.The blood were also test low density lipoprotein cholesterol and myocardial injury markers such as troponin I,myoglobin,creatin kinase MB.The numbers of lesion coronary arteries were confirmed by percutaneous coronary intervention operation.Student t-test and mann-whitney U test were used to compare two groups datas,analysis of variance was used to compare more than three groups datas,spearman test was used for correlationship analysis between groups.Results The Lp-PLA2,hs-CRP and Ddimer of CHD group were (43.62 ±13.23) g/L,5.09 mg/L(95％ CI:0.56-74.15),173.0 mg/L(95％ CI:103.0-966.5),respectively.They were higher than healthy control group whose values were (21.49 ± 7.63)g/L,2.61 mg/L(95 ％ CI:0.37-45.12),68.0 mg/L (95％ CI:48.0-540.6),respectively.The difference were statistical significant (t =2.69,U =67.52,U =37.84,P ＜ 0.001).After correlation with clinical data,the Lp-PLA2 was correlated to LDL(r =0.487,P ＜ 0.001) and the numbers of coronary artery lesion (r =0.260,P =0.018).D-dimer was correlated to hs-CRP(r =0.263,P =0.011),it was also correlated to NYHA heart function level (F =23.78,P =0.001).Conclusions Lp-PLA2 is important in lipid metabolize,especially in LDL metabolize.Lp-PLAz can be used to predict severity of coronary artery lesion.Hs-CRP correlated to D-dimer level and cardiac injury markers.It stated link between inflammation and thrombosis.D-dimer is increasing with NYHA level.Lp-PLA2,hs-CRP and D-dimer are correlated to coronary artery lesions,they are good prognostic indices for coronary heart disease patients.

Objective To explore the effect of glutamine(Gln) on expression of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-?B) and heat shock protein 70(HSP70) in brain of young rats induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Methods Ten days old Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups by injection intraperitoneally different agonts,LPS group,normal saline control group(NS group) and Gln group(Gln 1.346 g/kg,1 hour before LPS).NF-?B and HSP70 distribution and expression in brain were deteted by immunohistochemistry.The levels of HSP70 in rats brain induced by LPS were detected by Western blot.SPSS 12.0 software was used.Results The nuclei of neuron in cerebral cortex in LPS group obviously cleared at 6 hours.The positive stain of nuclei in Gln group at 2 hours could not be seen.The stain of nuclei in cerebral cortex was weakened in LPS group at 6 hours by immunohistochemistry.HSP70 protein expression decreased with the measurement of Western blot,especially at 24 hours.HSP70 expression in LPS group was similar as that in NS group.The stain of nuclei in neuron in Gln group at 2 hours increased.It also showed the amount of protein expression increased in Western blot in group Gln at 2,6,12,24 hours(Pa

The changes of rheobase(Rh), chronaxie(Chr), standard electrical quantity(a) and mtensity-duration curve(i. t. c) were studied for understanding the effect of aging on the excitability of sciatic and caudal nerves in Wistar rats of different age. The results show that before grown-up excitability of the peripheral nerves increases progressively with age, after that it tends to decrease. Chronaxie as an index can not reflect the change of excitability of the peripheral nerves correctly.

Objective To investigate the effects of Dishevelled (DVL) on apoptosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell line OCI-Ly10, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods Lentivirus plasmid overexpressing DVL2 was constructed, and after virus was packaged, it was transfected into OCI-Ly10 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of OCI-Ly10 cells with or without the stimulation by TNF-α recombinant protein. Then the gene expression of anti-apoptotic genes, GADD45β and A20, in NF-κB pathway was detected by RT-PCR. Results The virus was sucessfully transfected into OCL-Ly10 cells which overexpressed DVL2. The apoptosis rate of OCL-Ly10 cells overexpressing DVL2 without the stimulation by TNF-α was increased compared with that of the negative control group [(15.46 ±2.37) % vs. (11.72±3.53)%, P=0.03], the A20 mRNA expression level was decreased compared with that of the negative control group [(0.66 ±0.01) vs. 1, P=0.04], and the relative expression level of GADD45β mRNA was not significantly decreased compared with that of the negative control group [(0.79 ±0.15) vs. 1, P=0.642]. The apoptosis rate of DVL2 overexpression OCI-Ly10 cells stimulated by TNF-α was significantly higher than that of the negative control group treated by TNF-α [(22.78±4.56)%vs. (12.79±2.89)%, P=0.007]. The gene expression of A20 and GADD45β in DVL2 overexpression cells stimulated by TNF-α was significantly increased, however, the magnitude of increase in DVL2 overexpression cells was less than that in the negative control group treated by TNF-α [A20: (3.75 ±0.14) times vs. (6.89 ±0.10) times, P=0.008; GADD45β:(4.750±0.21) times vs. (6.14±0.08) times, P=0.03]. Conclusion DVL can promote the apoptosis of OCI-Ly10 cells, and its mechanism may be related with anti-apoptotic genes that inhibits its downstream via NF-κB pathway.

Objective To study and compare the clinical efficacy between intravitreal conbercept injection and (or) macular grid pattern photocoagulation in treating macular edema secondary to non-ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods Ninety eyes of 90 patients diagnosed as macular edema secondary to non-ischemic BRVO were enrolled in this study.Forty-eight patients (48 eyes) were male and 42 patients (42 eyes) were female.The average age was (51.25 ± 12.24) years and the course was 5-17 days.All patients were given best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),intraocular pressure,slit lamp with preset lens,fluorescence fundus angiography (FFA) and optic coherent tomography (OCT) examination.The patients were divided into conbercept and laser group (group Ⅰ),laser group (group Ⅱ) and conbercept group (group Ⅲ),with 30 eyes in each group.The BCVA and central macular thickness (CMT) in the three groups at baseline were statistically no difference (F=0.072,0.286;P=0.930,0.752).Patients in group Ⅰ received intravitreal injection of 0.05 ml of 10.00 mg/ml conbercept solution (conbercept 0.5 mg),and macular grid pattern photocoagulation 3 days later.Group Ⅱ patients were given macular grid pattern photocoagulation.Times of injection between group Ⅰ and Ⅲ,laser energy between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ,changes of BCVA and CMT among 3 groups at 1 week,1 month,3 months and 6 months after treatment were compared.Results Patients in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ had received conbercept injections (1.20 ± 0.41) and (2.23 ± 1.04) times respectively,and 6 eyes (group Ⅰ) and 22 eyes (group Ⅲ) received 2-4 times re-injections.The difference of injection times between two groups was significant (P＜0.001).Patients in group Ⅱ had received photocoagulation (1.43 ±0.63) times,9 eyes had received twice photocoagulation and 2 eyes had received 3 times of photocoagulation.The average laser energy was (96.05 ±2.34) μV in group Ⅰ and (117.41 ±6.85) μV in group Ⅱ,the difference was statistical significant (P=0.003).BCVA improved in all three groups at last follow-up.However,the final visual acuity in group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ were better than in group Ⅱ (t=4.607,-4.603;P＜0.001) and there is no statistical significant difference between group Ⅲ and group Ⅰ (t=-0.802,P=0.429).The mean CMT reduced in all three groups after treating for 1 week and 1 month,comparing that before treatment (t=-11.855,-10.620,-10.254;P＜0.001).There was no statistical difference of CMT between group Ⅰ and Ⅲ at each follow up (t=0.404,1.723,-1.819,-1.755;P=0.689,0.096,0.079,0.900).CMT reduction in group Ⅰ was more than that in group Ⅱ at 1 week and 1 month after treatments (t=-4.621,-3.230;P＜0.001,0.003).The CMT in group Ⅲ at 3 month after treatment had increased slightly comparing that at 1 month,but the difference was not statistically significant (t=1.995,P=0.056).All patients had no treatment-related complications,such as endophthalmitis,rubeosis iridis and retinal detachment.Conclusions Intravitreal conbercept injection combined with macular grid pattern photocoagulation is better than macular grid pattern photocoagulation alone in treating macular edema secondary to non-ischemic BRVO.Combined therapy also reduced injection times comparing to treatment using conbercept injection without laser photocoagulation.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of iodine on mRNA expression of iodide transporter (NIS),insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF- Ⅰ ) and transforming growth factor beta(TGF-β) in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats and to explore the role of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA in iodine uptake in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats.MethodsOne hundred and one Wistar rats(80 female and 21 male),weighting 8 - 100 g were selected.These female rats were randomly divided into five groups according to their body weight:control group(NI,normal feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 50 μg/L) ; low iodine group 1 and 2(LI-1,LI-2,low iodine feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 0 and 5 μg/L,respectively); high iodine group 1 and 2(HI-1,HI-2,normal feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 3000 and 10 000 μg/L,respectively),16 rats in each group.After feeding for 3 months,the female and male rates were mated 3:1.The female rats in each group were sacrificed at the fifth and tenth day after postpartum.Thyroid and mammary glands were taken.The mRNA levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats were determined by real time quantitative PCR.ResultsThe fifth days after postartum,NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA expression levels of thyroid and lactating mammary glands were different between groups,and the differences were statistically significant ( NIS:F =631.46,64.91,all P ＜ 0.01 ; IGF- Ⅰ:F =11.45,6.56,all P ＜ 0.01 ; TGF-β:F =291.83,304.53,all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with control group [NIS:0.0066 ± 0.0023, (0.1481 ± 0.0711 ) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0419 ± 0.0062,0.0542 ± 0.0044; TGF-β:0.1416 ± 0.0277,0.1670 ± 0.0499],regardless of thyroid or mammary gland,the NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA expression of LI-1 [NIS:0.0447 ± 0.0110,(0.3030 ± 0.1831) × 10-2;IGF- Ⅰ:0.0662 ± 0.0078,0.0902 ± 0.008; IGF- Ⅰ:0.5514 ± 0.0508,0.6942 ± 0.0367],LI-2[NIS:0.0317 ±0.0081,(0.3017 ± 0.1601) × 10-2; IGF-I:0.0645 ± 0.0054,0.0894 ± 0.0093; TGF-β:0.5292 ± 0.0332,0.6704 ± 0.0277 ] was significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.01 ); the NIS mRNA expression of HI-1 [0.0043 ± 0.0011,(0.1233 ± 0.0954) × 10-2],HI-2[0.0037 ± 0.0017,(0.1058 ± 0.0854) × 10-2] was decreased(all P ＜ 0.05),while the expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA [0.0521 ± 0.0910,0.0715 ± 0.0026; 0.0516 ± 0.0078,0.0697 ± 0.0038] and TGF-β mRNA [0.2087 ± 0.0425,0.2361 ± 0.0425; 0.1971 ± 0.0237,0.2257 ± 0.0752 ] was increased (all P ＜ 0.05 ).The tenth days after postpartum,the mRNA expression levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β of thyroid and lactating mammary gland in rats were different between groups,and the differences were statistically significant (NIS:F =103.55,116.32,all P ＜ 0.01; IGF-Ⅰ:F =67.67,11.98,all P ＜ 0.01; TGF-β:F =74.30,381.30,all P ＜0.01 ).Compared with the control group[NIS:0.0069 ± 0.0011,(0.1337 ± 0.0599) × 10-2; IGF-Ⅰ:0.0390 ±0.0071,0.0534 ± 0.0056; TGF-β:0.1351 ± 0.0336,0.1534 ± 0.0320],the mRNA expression levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β of LI-1 [ NIS:0.0432 ± 0.0165,(0.2962 ± 0.0985 ) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0643 ± 0.0088,0.0873 ± 0.0055 ; TGF-β:0.5042 ± 0.0912,0.6408 ± 0.0420],LI-2[NIS:0.0287 ± 0.0111,(0.2873 ± 0.0862) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0621 ± 0.0094,0.0862 ± 0.0038; TGF-β:0.4893 ± 0.0504,0.6372 ± 0.0389] were significantly increased(all P ＜ 0.01 ); the NIS mRNA levels of HI-1 [ 0.0042 ± 0.0029,(0.1006 ± 0.0909) × 10-2],HI-2[0.0035 ± 0.0020,(0.0890 ± 0.0119) × 10-2] were decreased(all P＜ 0.05),while the expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA[0.0516 ± 0.0078,0.0668 ± 0.0071; 0.0508 ± 0.0089,0.0621 ± 0.0064] and TGF-β mRNA[0.2007 ± 0.0546,0.2175 ± 0.0370;0.1959 ± 0.0393,0.2097 ± 0.0425] were increased(all P ＜ 0.05 ).In thyroid and mammary glands,the comparisons of NIS,IGF,TGF-β mRNA expression of the fifth and tenth day after postartum,between each group were not statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsThere are regulatory mechanisms of thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats in response to low or high iodine conditions.In low iodine,the expressions of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA in thyroid and mammary glands increase and iodide uptake ability is enhanced to meet the body needs.In high iodine,the expression of NIS mRNA decreases in thyroid and mammary glands.Due to the reduced ability of iodine uptake,iodine intake is reduced,thereby reducing the hazards of high iodine in filial rats.
