Objective To study the clinic, neuro electrophysiology and molecular biology of Machado Joseph disease (MJD).Methods Family visiting, physical examination and the blood samples were analysed on molecular biology in 44 members of a family with MJD.The cases of inpatients were examined on cerebrospinal fluid and neuro electrophysiology.Results 10 patients of the family attacked,which were consisted with autosomal dominant inheritance type. Age of the onset was 8~38 years old. The clinical characteristic was progressive severe spinocerebellar of ataxia,faciolingual myokymia,bulging eyes.Change of denervated muscle was revealed by neuro etectrophysiological examination. Light atrophy was observed in cerebellar,brain stem, spinal cord.The genetic defect of MJD was located the long arm of chromosome 14 between D 14 S 280 and D 14 S 81 , their distance was 3.0 cm.All tested patients had their CAG repeated expansion from 72 to 84 in the MJD gene.Conclusion MJD is a neuro degenerative disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance. The disease was clinically characterized by progressive severe spinocerebellar ataxia, no obvious changes of cerebrospinal fluid,neuro electrophysiology, CT and MRI.The genetic defect of MJD was located the long arm of chromosome 14.The number of CAG repeated expansion mutation was associated with the age of the onset.

The circadian levels of norepinephrine ( NE ) and dopamiae (DA) in the whole brain were determined spectrofluorometrically in control mice and in mice pretreated with ginseng saponin. All animals were adapted for a minimum period of 2 weeks to an environmental room equipped with, an automatically timed 12h-light and 12h-dark illumination cycle before experiment. Data obtained at 4 h intervals for 48h spans were analyzed by the mean cosinor method.It has been proved that the catecholamine concentrations in the brain vary diurnally. The whole brain NE and DA contents were highest during the middle of dark phase and decreased to a low levels after the onset of light phase. In administration of ginseng saponin altered the circadian pattern and ( or ) levels of brain catecholamine over controls. In order to check the above results reserpine was injected to mice. The levels of NE and DA remarkedly depleted at the times studied, and they showed a significant circadian rhythms as well.It seems that ginseng saponin selectively modulates the circadian variations of brain NE and DA, and its effects may be as a cosinor function of the time of day.

Objective To search for the anticancer active substance from Caesalpinia sappan wood extractions. Methods Crude extracts were extracted from Caesalpinia sappan wood with different solvents.Liquid chromatography was applied to analyze the content of each essential component in the extraction fractions. Trypan blue exclusion test was performed to detect the growth suppression rate of human bladder carcinoma cell line T24 treated by the extraction fractions at different time course (20,40,60,80,100 min).The main component positively correlated with the cell suppression rate was separated out using repeated chromatography, thus the anticancer active monomer was obtained, with purity over 98 ％. The chemical constitution was determined using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrum and infrared spectrum methods. T24 cell line, human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, mice sarcoma S180 and hepatic carcinoma H22 cell were chosen as target subjects, with mitomycin, hydroxycamptothecin as positive control drug, the inhibitory activity of the monomer was tested by trypan blue chromophobia method. Results Among the extraction fractions, R12 has a positive correlation with the cell suppression rate (r100 min=0.941, P＜0.001).Brazilin is the key component in R12.The inhibition rate of brazilin could reach 90.89 ％,98.65 ％,99.82 ％ and 100.00 ％ on T24,SKOV3,S180 and H22 respectively in 40 min at the concentration of 1.2 mg/ml,and its effect is much superior to that of the control drug mitomycin and hydroxycamptothecin. Conclusion Brazilin is one of the essential anticancer principles in Caesalpinia sappan wood.

Objective To investigate the potential effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) on prevention and treatment of neonatal mice infected with human rotavirus (HRV). Methods Sixty 4-day-old kunming mice were randomly divided into control group. HRV infected group, L. acidophilus pretreated group (treated before HRV infection ) and L. acidophilus treated group(treated after HRV infection). The manifestation and pathological changes in small intestine of neonatal mice were observed. The HRV antigen in the feces and intestines were measured by ELISA and fluorescent-focus assay, respectively. Results The severity and duration of diarrhea as well as mortality in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group were lower than those in HRV infected group. The duration of HRV-antigens shedding following infection was considerably prolonged in HRV infected group compared to that in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group. Furthermore, decreased expression of HRV antigen and little pathological changes in intestinal mucosa were found in L. acidophilus pretreated group and treated group when compared with HRV infected group. Conclusion L. acidophilus may be used as an alternative approach for the prevention and treatment of neonatal mice infected with HRV.

OBJECTIVE To explore the condition of the cellular immune function of children with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and its change after operation METHODS Eighty children diagnosed as OSAHS were included in this study. T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells of the blood were measured before operation and one month after operation respectively. Children without the related disorders or systemic disease were recruited as control group.RESULTS Before operation, CD4+T cell percentage, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and NK cell percentage in OSAHS children were significantly lower than that in the control group[(26.19±3.38)%vs (5.10±4.09)%, (0.90±0.19)%vs (1.61±0.52)%, (11.45±4.35)%vs (13.73±3.78)%,P<0.05], CD8+T cell percentage was significantly higher than that in the control group[(30.02±5.50)%vs (22.31±3.42) %,P<0.05]. The difference, between the two groups, in CD3+T cells was not statistically significant. After operation, the CD4+T cells, CD8+T cells, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, the percentage of NK cells and CD3+T cells showed no significance difference compared with that before operation (P>0.05). CONCLUSION OSAHS may damage the cellular immune function. The operation does not reduce the cellular immune function in the short term.

Objective To observe the effects of brazilin on proliferation and apoptosis in T24 cells.Methods Trypan blue exclusion test was performed to detect the inhibition of brazilin on the growth of T24 cell lines in vitro cultured within different time.After exposure to different concentrations of brazilin,homogeneous bioluminescence assay was used to detect the inhibitory action of brazilin,Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 activity on T24 cells.Cellular apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry (FCM) and observed by laser scanning confocal microscope.Results Brazilin could significantly inhibit the proliferation of T24 cells after 8 hours,the inhibitory rates of the brazilin at concentration of 25,50,100,200 μg/ml against T24 cells respectively were 43.19 ％,60.73 ％,86.38 ％ and 93.89 ％ (P ＜ 0.05).After exposured to 50 μg/ml of brazilin,the inhibition ration to T24 cells increased with time prolonging (52.72 ％ in 4 h,60.73 ％ in 8 h,91.77 ％ in 24 h,96.41％ in 48 h) (P ＜ 0.05).The activity of Caspase-3 and Caspase-9 increased slightly when brazilin was at 25 μg/ml,but there was no statistical differences compared with that in the control group (P ＞ 0.05).When cells were treated with an increase of the concentration of brazilin from range of 7.5-60 μg/ml for 16 hours,the apoptosis ratio in turn showed a upward trend of 0.15 ％,1.35 ％,2.91％,34.76 ％.It could be seen by laser scanning confocal microscope that the apoptosis occurred in the cells.Conclusion Brazilin can effectively inhibit the proliferation of T24 cells and induce apoptosis in a dose and time dependent manner.
