Objective: To explore the regulative role of extracellular regulated protein kinase-5 (ERK5)/Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death (Bim) pathway in hypothermal stimulation induced neonatal rat’s cardiomyocytes (CMs) damage and apoptosis.
Methods: CMs were cultured for hypothermal stimulation and the speciifc siRNA was used to down-regulate the ERK5 or Bim in CMs. The cell apoptosis was detected by lfow cytometry, protein expression was examined by Western blot analysis, the intracellular Ca2+, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) were evaluated by lfuorescent labeling and lfow cytometry.
Results: In hypothermal stimulated CMs, ERK5 siRNA could promote Bim protein expression, but Bim siRNA could not inlfuence ERK5, while attenuated p-ERK5 expression. ERK5 siRNA induced higher apoptosis rate, while Bim siRNA could decrease such effect. ERK5 siRNA increased the intracellular Ca2+overloading, ROS activation andΔΨm damage, while Bim siRNA played the role to against those effects in hypothermal stimulated CMs.
Conclusion: Our study revealed that ERK5/Bim pathway played the important regulative roll in hypothermal stimulation induced neonatal rat’s CMs damage and apoptosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between high altitude de-adaptation syndrome and training burnout of plateau-garrisoned soldiers after returning to the plain.Methods A total of 140 plateau-garrisoned soldiers who had returned to the plain were chosen by random cluster sampling and measured with the Training Burnout Test.They were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of acute mountain sickness.We compared the differences in training burnout between the two groups and analyzed the relationship between acute mountain sickness and training burnout. Results ①The incidence of high altitude de-adaptation syndrome of plateau-garrisoned soldiers was 80.00% after returning to the plain.There was statistically significant difference between plateau soldiers after returning to the plain,the plateau stability-keeping forces that returned to the plain (78.36%) (χ2 =0.188, P=0.664) and plateau migrants who returned to the plain (75.10%) (χ2 =1.279, P=0.258).Main symptoms of high altitude de-adaptation were fatigue (12.86%), dizziness (11.43%) and meakness (10.00%).②Compared with soldiers who had no high altitude de-adaptation syndrome, victims of de-adaptation syndrome had higher scores of training burnout, physical and psychological exhaustion and training-alienation (P<0.01).Compared with soldiers who had normal body mass indexes, those who were overweight had higher incidence of altitude de-adaptation (P<0.05).③The regression equation between plateau de-adaptation syndrome and training burnout of plateau soldiers after returning to the plain (P<0.01) is:Training burnout =0.498 ×plateau de-adaptation syndrome -0.126 ×age+0.038 ×length of military service +0.069 ×educational degree+0.029 ×body mass index.Conclusion There exist correlations between high altitude de-adaptation syndrome and training burnout of plateau soldiers after returning to the plain.Reducing the occurrence of high altitude de-adaptation syndrome can help reduce the degree of training burnout.
