Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effects of picrodideⅡ on cerebral ischemic reperfusion injury in rats. Methods Intraluminal thread methods were applied to establish the left middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion models (MCAO/R) in rats. PicrodideⅡ (10mg/kg) and salvianic acid A sodium (10mg/kg) were injected from tail vein for treatment. The neurological behavioral function was evaluated with Bederson's test. The cerebral infarction volume was observed with tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. The structure of cells was observed with histopathology. The apoptosis positive cells were counted by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase midiated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Results The neurological behavioral malfunction appeared in all rats with MCAO/R. The infarction focus showed in the ischemic hemisphere following cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury. In the picrodideⅡ and salvianic acid A sodium treatment groups, the number of apoptosis positive cells decreased and the cerebral infarction volume reduced, while the neurological behavioral function was significantly improved than those in the model control group (P<0.05). The cerebral infarction volume in the picrodideⅡ group was smaller than that in the salvianic acid A sodium group (P<0.05).Conclusion PicrodideⅡ might reduce cerebral infarction volume and improve the neurological behavioral function through inhibiting the neuronal apoptosis induced by ischemia reperfusion injury.

Objective To investigate the expression of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1 ), cytokeratins (CK) 7/20, and p53 in patients with Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocareinoma,and to evaluate their significance. Methods Expression of PARP-1, CK7/20 and p53 were determined by immunohistochemistry in 108 patients (including 40 Barrett's esophagus, 28 esophageal adenocarcinoma and 40 cardiac mucosa). Results The expression of PARP-1 was found in Barrett's esophagus, esophageal ade-nocarcinoma and cardiac epithelium with a significantly higher level in esophageal adenocarcinoma than the other two groups (P <0. 01 ). CK7/20 was expressed in much of intestinal metaplasia, part of cardiac epi-thelium and adenocarcinoma cells. The positive expression of p53 was observed in all three groups, and it was significantly higher in adenocarcinoma group than in other two groups (P < 0. 05 ). PARP-1 expression is highly correlated with that of p53 in Barrett's esophagus ( r= 0.49, P < 0.01 ). Conclusion CK7/20 is a sensitive but less specific indicator for intestinal metaplasia. Both PARP-1 and p53 are involved in the patho-genesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma and might help to determine the risk of Barrett's esophagus developing into esophageal adenocarcinoma.
