Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) is a specific protein that transports water molecules through the cell membrane. AQP1 mainly ex-presses in the choroid plexus epithelial cells of the central nervous system and participates in the formation of cerebrospinal fluid. In gli-omas, AQP1 expresses in neoplastic astrocytes and vascular endothelial cells. AQP1 expression is increased in parallel with histological grade in gliomas. AQP1 expression in gliosarcoma cell line is induced by dexamethasone, platelet-derived growth factor, sodium chlo-ride, hypoxia, D-glucose, and fructose. AQP1 mRNA expression is upregulated with increasing dosage. Through the expression of AQP1 in gliomas and the existing research on its function, we suggest that AQP1 may participate in tumor angiogenesis and tumor-relat-ed edema. AQP1 is closely associated with glioma cell migration. The function of AQP1 and its mechanism has been elucidated. Thus, this protein can be used as a new therapeutic target to inhibit the metastasis and recurrence of gliomas.

Objective To evaluate the predictive performance of propofol target-controlled infusion (TCI) system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters in Chinese patients. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 25-45 yr, with body mass index 20-25 kg/m2 , scheduled for gynecological laparoscopic surgery un der general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study. Anesthesia was induced with TCI of propofol (target plasma concentration (Cp) 3 μg/ml) and remifentanil (Cp 4 ng/ml) . Propofol was infused by Orchestra TCI system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters. Tracheal intubation was facilitated with rocuronium 0.6 mg/kgafter the patients lost consciousness. The patients were mechanically ventilated. PETCO2 was maintained at 30-40 mm Hg. Anesthesia was maintained with TCI of remifentanil (Cp 4 ng/ml) and propofol (Cp 3-5 μg/ml) and intermittent iv boluses of atracurium 0.2 mg/kg. BIS value was maintained at 40-45. Venous blood samples were obtained at 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after pneumoperitoneum for measurement of blood propofol concentrations by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. Performance error, median prediction performance error, median absolute performance error, wobble and divergence of propofol TCI system were calculated. Results The value for performance error was 21 % (13%), for median prediction performance error 6.7 % (37.4%),for median absolute performance error 19% (18%), for divergence - 0.65%/h (0.82%/h) and for wobble 16.3% (15.2% ) . Conclusion The accuracy of propofol TCI system incorporating the Schnider pharmacokinetic parameters is high in Chinese patients and its predictive performance is acceptable clinically.

Objective Cathepsin K (CTSK) played an important role in adipocyte differentiation.The activation of CTSK needs to convey by mannose-6-phosphate receptors (M6PR) in osteoclasts. The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) in adipocyte differentiation and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods Oil red O staining, accumulation of cytoplasmic triglycerides and glycerine release were used to assess its effects on adipocyte differentiation in the 3T3-L1cell line. The enzyme activity of CTSK was observed by laser confocal microscopy. The proliferation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was detected by MTT methods. mRNA expression of M6PR was determined by RTPCR. Results M6P could prevent adipocyte differentiation in a dose-dependent manner as evidenced by absence of triglyceride accumulation and glycerol content. Statistical significance was showed when the concentrations of M6P were 5.0 mmol/L and 8. 0 mmol/L respectively(P <0. 05). The mRNA expression of M6PR was detected during the whole process of adipocyte differentiation. With the increase of M6Pconcentration, enzyme activity of CTSK was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. MTT method showed that the absorbance at 570 nm of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was 0. 057 ±0. 091, increased about 62. 9%at 10. 0 mmoL/L compared with the control group (P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion M6P inhibits the terminal differentiation of adipocyte, which may be associated with its effect of blocking CTSK activity by competitive binding with M6PR.
