Objective To investigate the different effect of positive and negative emotion induced by film clips on explicit and implicit memory,and whether there is mood congruency effect. Methods Thirty participants who were randomly assigned to three experimental groups were investigated. They were exposed in different film clips and then worked on memory task. After each emotional condition,the 5-point Self Assessment Scale was registered , Buchner's processing dissociation corrected model was employed to separate explicit and implicit memory. Results (1) The emotion arousal level of different films is significantly different, the scores of negative film and positive film were more than that of neutral film( (3.24 ± 1.02),(2.85 ± 1.35),(1.12 ± 1.42) , P<0.01) ; the scores of emotional valence of positive,negative and neutral priming condition were (4. 10 ±0. 20), (3. 60 ± 0.22) and (3.20 ±0. 97), and there was a significant difference between emotion priming conditions (F(2,27) = 46.81, P< 0. 01). (2) There was a significant difference among different emotion priming conditions in R (F(2,87) = 30.129, P<0.05) .and there was no significant difference among different emotion priming conditions in A. (3) In R,there was a main effect in emotional words(F(2,81) = 10.516, P<0.05) ,the R scores of neutral words were significantly higher than those of negative words(P<0.01) ,there was a main effect in emotion priming conditions(F (2,81) =10.516, P<0.05) ,the R scores of positive emotion priming group and neutral emotion priming group were significantly higher than those of negative emotion priming group (P<0.05). There was an interaction of emotional words and emotion priming conditions(F(4,81) = 10.640, P < 0.01). Under positive emotion priming condition, the R scores of positive and neutral words were significantly higher than those of negative words (P<0.05);under negative emotion priming condition, the R scores of negative words were significantly higher than those of positive words (P <0.05); under neutral emotion priming condition, the R scores of positive and neutral words were significantly higher than those of negative words (P<0.05). (4) In A, the main effect of emotion priming conditions and emotional words and interaction effect between them were not significant(P>0.05). Conclusions Explicit memory showed mood congruency memory effect,but implicit memory,neither the positive emotion priming group nor the negative emotion priming group exhibited mood congruency memory effect.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of miR-21 on ADAMTS-1 expression in pulmonary fibrosis model. Methods A mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis was established using bleomycin (BLM) anda model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed in vitro , the expression level of miR-21 was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), while the protein expression of ADAMTS-1 was measured by Western blot. NIH3T3 were transfected with miR-21 mimics and inhibitor in vitro and the cellular expression of ADAMTS-1 was measured by Western blot. Results Compared with the blank group , in mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis , the miR-21 expressions in lung tissues at three time points after BLM-treatment were significantly up-regulated while an evident decrease in ADAMTS-1 expressions were observed (P < 0.01). In vitro pulmonary fibrosis model , NIH3T3 cells after TGF-β1 in concentration 5 μg/L stimulation down-regulated ADAMTS-1 expression and up-regulated miR-21 expression (P < 0.01). NIH3T3 transfected with miR-21 mimics and inhibitor, up-regulated miR-21 expression, while down-regulated ADAMTS-1 protein expression. Conclusions Up-regulation of miR-21 and Down-regulation of ADAMTS-1 might be involved in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis model; miR-21 could negatively regulate ADAMTS-1 expression.

Objective To investigate the expressions and effects of EGR-1, p53, p16, Cyclin D1 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). Methods Expressions of EGR-1, p53, p16, and Cyclin D1 protein in paraffin-embedded specimens of 29 chronic nasopharyngitis, 45 NPC and 24 lymph-node metastasis were studied by immunohistochemical method (SABC). Results The positive rates of EGR-1, p16, and Cyclin D1 protein expressions in chronic nasopharyngitis were 44.83 %(13/29), 89.66 %(26/29) and 24.14 %(7/29) respectively, but no p53 protein expression. In NPC, the positive expression rates of the four proteins were 22.22 %(10/45), 91.11 %(41/45), 53.33 %(24/45) and 66.67 %(30/45), with significant difference compared with chronic nasopharyngitis respectively; and in lymph nodes metastasis were 16.67 %(4/24), 79.17 %(19/24), 70.83 %(17/24) and 75.00 %(18/24) with significant difference compared with those of chronic nasopharyngitis and NPC respectively except for p16 protein. Spearman correlation analysis showed that there were no significant correlation between the expression of EGR-1 and p53, p16, Cyclin D1 respectively both in NPC and in lymph nodes metastasis. In NPC, the expression of p53 showed a positive correlation with the expression of p16; and in lymph nodes metastasis the expression of Cyclin D1 showed positive correlation with the expressions of p16 and p53. Conclusions The expression of EGR-1 protein was significantly decreased both in NPC and in lymph-node metastasis, which suggested that Egr-1 gene may be a tumor suppressor gene and have an important effect in the pathogenesis and the progression of NPC. The overexpression of p53 and Cyclin D1 also have an important role in NPC, but p16 probably have no biological significance in NPC.

BACKGROUND: Recently,liver transplantation technique has been developed rapidly,and prevention of ischemia/reperfusion injury and protection of liver regeneration have become a research focus.Ischemic preconditioning(IPC)is an effective method for protecting liver ischemic injury.However,the mechanism remains controversial.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of IPC on hepatic injury and regeneration after reduced-size rat liver transplantation.METHODS: Animals were randomly divided into 3 groups.Rat reduced-size liver transplantation model was established in liver transplantation group.IPC+liver transplantation group underwent first porta hepatis blocking for 10 minutes before liver graft reperfusion,followed by reperfusion for 15 minutes.The ligament around the liver was dissociated in the sham-surgery group.The samples were collected 0.5,2,6 and 24 hours post-operation.The hepatic injury was examined by the serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and hepatic tissue histopathology analysis of grafts.Semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry and westernblotting were used to examine the redox factor-1(Ref-1)protein expression.The hepatic regeneration of the grafts was examined by the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)in hepatic cells.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with liver transplantation group,the ALT values at 6 and 24 hours after operation in IPC group decreased significantly(P < 0.05; P < 0.01).Pathological analysis indicated that there were lots of inflammation cells around the portal veins,the serious sinus hepaticus dilation and damage of hepatic tissue in liver transplantation group.However,the tissue injury observed in IPC group was comparatively slight.Semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry revealed that Ref-1 protein was more abundant in IPC grafts tissue compared to liver transplantation group.These observations were supported by westernblotting studies where Ref-1 protein was shown to be over-expressed in IPC specimens at 24 hours after reduced-size liver transplantation(P < 0.05).In addition,the number of PCNA-positive cells in IPC group was more than liver transplantation group at 2,6 and 24 hours after operation(P < 0.05).IPC improves hepatic regeneration and relieves grafts injury in earlier period after reduced-size rat liver transplantation,which is associated with the over-expression of Ref-1protein.
