Objective To compared the electrophysiological features in peripheral vertigo and central vertigo. Methods The electronystagmograph ( ENG ) and brainstem auditory evoked potentials ( BAEP ) were applied in peripheral vertigo group(85 cases) and central vertigo group(61 cases).Result ENG abnomal was in 67 cases (78.8%) in peripheral vertigo group.Overshoot or undershoot of dysmetria test was in 6 cases ( 7.1%);spontaneous nystagmus was in 5 cases(5.9%);abnormal of gaze test was in 16 cases(18.8%); eye tracking test typeⅠwas in 42 case(49.4%), typeⅡwas in 17 cases(20.0%), and typeⅢwas in 8 cases(9.4%); bilateral asymmetry of optokinetic nystagmus test was in 19 cases(22.4%);positioning nystagmus was in 51 cases(60.0%);abnormal of cold and hot test was in 31 cases(36.5%).ENG abnomal was 42 cases(49.4%) in central vertigo group.Overshoot or undershoot of dysmetria test was in 19 case(31.1%);spontaneous nystagmus was in 13 cases (21.3%);abnormal of gaze test was in 23 cases(37.7%);eye tracking test typeⅠwas in 35 cases(57.4%), typeⅡwas in 13 cases(21.3%), and typeⅢwas in 8 cases(13.1%);bilateral asymmetry of optokinetic nystagmus test was in 33 cases(54.1%); positioning nystagmus was in 2 cases(3.3%); abnormal of cold and hot test was in 6 cases(9.8%).Compared with peripheral vertigo group, the abnormal rates of optokinetic nystagmus test, gaze test, eye tracking test, optokinetic nystagmus test in central vertigo group were significantly increased, and the abnormal rates of positioning nystagmus, cold and hot test in central vertigo group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). There were 32 cases(37.6%) in peripheral vertigo group with BAEP abnormal, and 31 cases(50.8%) were in central vertigo group with BAED abnormal.Compared with central vertigo group, the latency ofⅠwave andⅠ-Ⅲwave latency delayed in peripheral vertigo group were significantly increased, the latency ofⅤwave andⅠ-Ⅴwave latency delayed were significantly decreased ( all P<0.05 ) .Conclusions There are high sensitivity of optokinetic nystagmus test, gaze test, eye tracking test, optokinetic nystagmus test of ENG to the diagnosis of central vertigo. There are high sensitivity of positioning nystagmus, cold and hot test to the diagnosis of peripheral vertigo.The positive rate of BAEP is relatively lower, but it can provide objective foundation for location of vertigo patients.
2. Inhibitory effect of 4-HPR combined with DDP on xenografted ovarian carcinoma in nude mice and its relationship with VEGF and u-PA expression
Tumor 2008;28(4):305-309
Objective: To explore the inhibitory effect of N4-hydroxyphenyl retinode (4-HPR) used alone or in combination with DDP on xenografted human ovarian carcinoma in nude mice and its relationship with the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and urokinase type plasminogen activator (u-PA). Methods: Human SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells were inoculated into BALB/c nude mice. The tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group, DDP group, 4-HPR group, and 4-HPR plus DDP group. The growth of xenografted tumors was observed every 3 days. The VEGF expression in xenograft tumors was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF and u-PA were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: 4-HPR combined with DDP significantly inhibited the growth of xenografted ovarian carcinoma and down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF and u-PA. The inhibitory effect of combination therapy was superior to those treated with 4-HPR and DDP alone. Conclusion: 4-HPR plus DDP significantly inhibited the proliferation of xenografted ovarian carcinoma in nude mice. The effect was associated with the expressions of VEGF and u-PA.

To explore the anti-atherosclerotic mechanism of estrogen and especially observe the effect of estradiol on the content of cholesterol in J774a.1 mouse mononuclear/macrophage-derived foam cells which were incubated with oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDL). J774a.1 mouse mononuclear/macrophages were incubated with ox-LDL or with both ox-LDL and estradiol (1, 0.1 or 0.01 micromol x L(-1)). Oil red O staining was used to observe the formation of foam cells, and cholesterol oxidase fluorometric was used to determine the content of cellular cholesterol content. Western blotting and RTFQ-PCR were used to observe the expressions of scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-B I ) in J774a.1 foam cells. Compared with the control cells, J774a.1 mouse mononuclear/macrophage-derived foam cells showed significantly increased contents of total cholesterol and cholesterol ester (P < 0.001) and decreased SR-B I mRNA expression (P < 0.01). Estradiol treatment significantly lowered the contents of total cholesterol and cholesterol ester (P < 0.05), and increased SR-B I protein and mRNA expression (P < 0.01) in the foam cells in a dose-dependent manner. Estradiol can inhibit the formation of mononuclear/macrophage-derived foam cells by decreasing the contents of total cholesterol and cholesterol ester and up-regulating the expression of SR-B I in the foam cells.

Objective To observe the alteration of bone metabolism and to study the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and factors in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Methods The biochemical markers of bone metabolism, bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and the right femur, parameters of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound(QUS), blood partial pressure and pulmonary functions in 39 male patients with COPD and 30 controls were measured. Results The broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA) and the speed of sound (SOS), BMD of the lumbar spines and the femur were significantly lower than that in control group. The biochemical markers of bone metabolism such as HOP/Cr, Ca/Cr, and PTH in the COPD group was significantly raised than that in control group〔(60 2?7 0)dB/MHz vs (66 5?4 9)dB/Mhz,(1 328 4?41 5)m/s vs (1 505 8?26 9)m/s,23% vs 34%,21% vs25%〕.

Parkinson′s disease(PD),the second neurodegenerative disease in the world,is characterized by a combination of motor symptoms(rest tremor,bradykinesia,rigidity,postural instability,stooped posture and freezing of gait)and non-motor symp?toms(including psychiatric and cognitive disorders). The core neuropathological features of PD are the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the deposition of iron and cytoplasmic protein aggregates(Lewy bodies)inside neurons. Currently,clinical treatment for PD is symptomatic and there is no effective treatment to restore neuronal degeneration. In the PD therapy ,medication re?mains dominant. Anti-PD drugs are mainly based on the critical signal pathways or some specific targets which play a key role in the pathogenesis of PD to relieve the symptoms of PD. Research and development in novel drugs to prevent or treat PD have been a crucial subject,and some novel candidates are under development. In this paper,we summarize and analyze the anti-PD drugs,and make a brief discussion about its pharmacological targets.
