4.Protective effect of edaravone on corneal nerve of rat with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathy
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2012;30(2):101-105
BackgroundWith the number of diabetics increases,people pay more attention to the diabetic keratopathy.The major mechanism leading to diabetic keratopathy is diabetic corneal neuropathy.So it is significant to observe pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Objective To investigate the protective effects of edaravone( a free radical scavenger) on corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathy,then explain the effects of oxidative stress in the pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy. Methods Seventy Sprague-Daxley male rats were taken as experimental subjects and 20 of them were used as normal control group.The remaining 50 were induced to be diabetic mellitus by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin and divided into 2 groups randomly:edaravone treated group and diabetic control group.In the edaravone treated group,edaravone(0.2 g/L) eye drops were used 3 times a day until the animal was killed.Five rats in each group were sacrificed at 6,8,10 and 12 weeks respectively.Then the corneal sensation,number of corneal nerve fibers,morphology,content of malondialdehyde(MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the corneal tissue were detected.ResultsIn the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the number of corneal nerve fibers were decreased,the density of neural network for cluster was sparse,the nerve activity was decreased,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly increased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.01 ).Accompany with the course of disease,the above change was obvious day after day.Compared with the diabetic control group,the corneal sensation and the morphological abnormalities in corneal nerve of edaravone group were improved significantly which had the partial branches to the 12th week,the content of MDA in the corneal tissue was significantly decreased,the activity of SOD in the corneal tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01).Conclusions Edaravone can lower diabetic corneal nerve of rats with experimental diabetic corneal neuropathyinjury,Oxidative stress may be a critical pathologic mechanism of diabetic corneal neuropathy.

Microbiology 2008;0(07):-
There are one third of synthesized proteins must be secreted to the cell surface or to the surrounding environment to acquire their native functional state. Most of them are exported by Sec translocase (secretion pathway). Sec translocase consists of a membrane embedded protein-conducting channel, termed SecYEG and a peripherally associated motor domain, the ATPase SecA. The SecDFyajC heterotrimeric membrane protein complex can facilitates protein translocation. SecB is a molecular chaperone that functions in the protein translocation pathway. SecM (secretion monitor) encoded by the 5' region of the secM-secA mRNA, which elongation arrest is required for upregulated expression of SecA. The signal sequence in the N terminus of the nascent peptide is first recognized by the signal recognition particle (SRP). SecB, the Sec-system-specific chaperone, channels the preprotein to the Sec translocation pathway and, ad- ditionally, actively targets the bound precursor to the translocase by its ability to bind SecA. The preprotein-bearing SecA then binds to the membrane, at a high-affinity SecA-binding site, SecYEG, which constitutes a channel for polypeptide movement. Continued translocation requires cycles of ATP hydrolysis bySecA, which is thought to occur in a step-wise fashion with a step of 20~30 amino acid residues.
7.Immediate early genes and vocal learning and memory in songbirds
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(40):174-176
BACKGROUND: As demonstrated by recent reports, immediate early genes (IEGs) are rapidly induced and expressed when a songbird is stimulated either by bird-song or by its vocal-behavior. The expression area and level of IEGs in the brain, such as zenk, c-fos and c-jun, are corresponding to where and how the neurons are related as a songbird is stimulated, suggesting that IEGs play important roles in vocal learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To study the relation between vocal learning of songbird and immediate early gene so as to understand the mechanism of human language and the control of central nervous system.DATA SOURCES: All papers were cited from MEDLINE with the keywords of "songbird, vocal learning, memory, zenk, c-fos and c-jun" in English between January 1990 and December 2001. Meanwhile, we searched the Chinese journals full-text database and Wanfang database with the same keywords in Chinese between January 1990 and November 2001 were also searched.STUDY SELECTION: The papers about immediate early genes and vocal learning and memory in songbirds were selected. Then non-randomly controlled studies were excluded, and the rest full-text papers were looked up.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 17 papers about immediate early genes and vocal learning and memory in songbirds were found. We choose 11 papers in them and 6 was excluded because of summarization.DATA SYNTHESIS: ① zenk and vocal behavior: Expression of zenk in bird's brain can affect learning and memory through adjusting synthesis of special protein. ② Reaction of c-fos to various songs: The reaction of local neurons in bird's brain to the birdsongs are made by the decision of the numbers of song factor in learning songs. ③ Associations of c-jun and cfos: zenk, fos and jun are the necessaries for maintaining long-term memory, which produce a marked effect through signal transduction, reconstruction, synthesis and transduction of induced synapse.CONCLUSION: Immediate early genes (IEGs) are rapidly induced and expressed when a songbird is stimulated either by bird-song or by its vocal-behavior. The expression area and level of IEGs in the brain, such as zenk, c-fos and c-jun, are corresponding to where and how the neurons are related as a songbird is stimulated, suggesting that IEGs play important roles in vocal learning and memory.

9.Splenic radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of hypersplenism due to portal hypertension: recent progress in clinical research
Journal of Interventional Radiology 2009;18(12):953-956
Splenic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe, effective and minimally-invasive approach for the management of hypersplenism due to portal hypertension. After RFA, the remnant volume of the spleen will be decreased, the hypersplenism can be corrected, and the hepatic artery blood flow can be significantly increased with resultant marked improvement of liver function; in addition, hypertrophy and regeneration of the liver can be induced. However, many factors can affect the therapeutic results of RFA,therefore, further studies are necessary to clarify the underlying mechanisms.
