A generator has been designed to generate simulating underpressure of blast wave and applied for the study of underpressure injuries on animals.The generator is composed of a vacuum pump,a hypotcnsive chamber,an experimental chamber,a membrane-rupturing device and a pressure-measuring system.Its operating principle is as follows:When the pressure of the hypotensive chamber is being decreased by the drawing of the vacuum pump to a given level .the membrane separating the hypotensive chamber and the experimental chamber is rapidly perforated by a sharp pointer.Underpressure occurs in the experimental chamber where the animal is fixed as soon as the pressure changes instantaneously.The range of the physical parameters of the simulated underpressure are -13 to -90 kPa for the peak level,1 ms to 90 ms for the decreasing time,and 14 ms to 2000 ms for the duration.Animal experimentation revealed that this device is capable of inflicting injuries and verified the possibility that the underpressure of blast waves can result in injuries.

AIM:To study the effects of extracellular potassium on the protein expression of wild-type HERG and its mutant L539fs/47.METHODS:Wild-type HERG (WT) or its mutant HERG-L539fs/47 (MT) were transfected into HEK293 cells for 36 h.The cells were incubated in different media containing 0.8, 4.3 or 10 mmol/L potassium.Af-ter 6 h of incubation, the protein expression of HERG was detected by flow cytometry.After 12 h of incubation, the locali-zation and quantity of the proteins were detected by laser confocal imaging and Western blot.RESULTS: Different from the retention of mutant protein in cytoplasm, wild-type HERG protein was mainly distributed in the cell membrane.The 2 proteins both increased with the changes of extracellular potassium.Flow cytometry showed that the fluorescence in the 2 groups both increased with the changes of extracellular potassium ( P<0.01 ) .The fluorescence in WT group was signifi-cantly higher than that in MT group (P<0.01).Western blot showed that mutant HERG protein included only one 60 kD band, different from the 135 kD and 155 kD bands in wild-type HERG, which were affected by the changes of extracellular potassium (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The retention of HERG mutant L539fs/47 protein in the cytoplasm is more than wild-type HERG.Chronic high extracellular potassium keeps the stability of wild-type and mutant HERG proteins on the cell membrane.Chronic low potassium reduces the expression of HERG channel proteins in a time-dependent manner.

Objective To observe the effects of neurotrophin 3 (NT3)-chitosan on motor function, and proliferation and differentiation of the neural stem cells (NSCs) in the injury area and subventricular zone (SVZ) in rats with motor cortex injury. Methods Sixty-five Wistar rats were divided into control group (n=7), injury group (n=29) and NT3-chitosan group (n=29). The motor cortex was aspirated and re-moved as cerebral injury model. NT3-chitosan was immediately implanted into the injured area after operation, and the control group re-ceived no intervention. Pellet reaching test was performed to detect the recovery of the forelimb function, HE staining was used to observe the lesion cavity size, and immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, 2 months and 3 months after operation. Results The grasp success rate was higher (F>6.00, P≤0.05), and the lesion cavity size was significantly smaller (F>629.5, P<0.001) in the NT3-chitosan group than in the injury group. In the NSCs differentiation experi-ment, the number of BrdU cells at all the time points was significantly higher in the NT3-chitosan group than in the injury group (F>171.43, P<0.001). In the NSCs proliferation experiment, the number of BrdU positive cells was still significantly higher in the NT3-chitosan group than in the control group and in the injury group (F>155.06, P<0.001), the number of Dcx positive cells was significantly higher in the NT3-chitosan group than in the injury group (F=62.367, P<0.001), and the number of BrdU/Dcx positive cells was significantly higher in the NT3-chitosan group than in the control group (F=33.527, P<0.001). Conclusion NT3-chitosan could activate NSCs in the SVZ, and pro-mote endogenous neurogenesis and forelimb function recovery in rats after motor cortex injury.

Objective:To investigate the changes in the morphology, structure and function of the bladders and their effects on the upper urinary tract dilatation(UUTD) after lumbosacral nerve transecting in rats.Methods:A total of 45 female SD rats were included, randomly divided into 3 groups with 15 rats in each group. Two groups were performed bilateral lumbar 6(L6) and cauda equina nerve shearing to establish neurogenic bladder(NB) model, which were nerve transected for 4 weeks(NB-4W) group and nerve transected for 12 weeks(NB-12W) group. Another group was performed bilateral L6 nerves and cauda equine exposing but not transecting, which was sham-operation (Sham) group. Cystometry and renal ultrasound examination were performed and rats in each group were killed to collect the kidney and bladder tissues in NB-4W group at 4 weeks, in Sham group and NB-12W group at 12 weeks after operation. HE, Masson staining, immunohistochemical staining and western blot were used to detect histological changes, expression of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA).Results:All rats in NB-4W and NB-12W group showed acontractile detrusor. In the NB-4W and NB-12W group, the maximum cystometric capacity [(5.84±0.33) ml and (3.13±0.35) ml], the detrusor leak point pressure [(25.41±0.86) cm H 2O and (27.36±2.04) cm H 2O] (1 cm H 2O = 0.098 kPa), were significantly higher than those in the Sham group [(0.98±0.14) ml, (7.13±0.90) cm H 2O, both P<0.05]. Compliance in NB-4W group [(0.28±0.21) ml/cm H 2O] and NB-12W group [(0.17±0.12) ml/cm H 2O] were significantly lower than that of the Sham group [(0.34±0.26) ml/cm H 2O], and the compliance of NB-12W group was lower than that of NB-4W group significantly (all P<0.05). HE staining of the bladder showed that the inflammatory cell infiltration was obvious in the NB-4W and NB-12W group. Bladder collagen volume fractions in NB-4W group [(30.5±1.5) %] and NB-12W group [(45.2±3.8) %] were both higher than that of Sham group [(20.7±2.2) %, both P<0.05]. The expression of TGF-β1 and α-SMA in the bladder tissue of NB-4W group were higher than those of sham group, and that of NB-12W group were higher than NB-4W group. In NB-4W group and NB-12W group, 3 (20.0 %) and 7 (46.7 %) rats were found hydronephrosis, respectively. Additionally, HE staining showed that the degree of renal tubule injury and the number of inflammatory cell infiltration in the NB-4W and NB-12W group were higher than those in the Sham group. Masson staining showed that the volume fraction of collagen in kidneys of NB-4W and NB-12W group were (13.1±1.4) % and (21.6±1.9) %, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in sham operation group [(4.6±0.7) %, both P<0.05]. Conclusions:Bilateral L6 + cauda equina nerve transecting can induce NB with hydronephrosis in parts of rats. The degree of bladder fibrosis gradually increased with the time of nerve transection, and the incidence and severity of UUTD also increased with the time of nerve transection.
