Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the deacetylation of histone and nonhistone proteins. They play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling and gene transcription,and that aberrant chromatin remodeling and transcriptional dysregulation are associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Preclinical studies have suggested that histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) can target diverse pathophysiologies of ischemic stroke,not only reduce neuronal damage and infarct volume,but also promote the neuronal plasticity and functional recovery after ischemia. This article mainly reviews the neuroprotective mechanisms of HDACIs in ischemic stroke.

Objective To study the variety and significance of immune function in lung cancer patients.Methods 68 pretherapy lung cancer patients and 20 healthy volunteers with peripheral blood samples by flow cytometry.Results The proportion of CD+3T cells,CD+4T cells and the ratio of CD4/CD8 decreased in lung cancer patients,while the proportion of CD+8T cells and natural killer cells increased.Serum levels of TNF-α,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10 were significantly increased in patients compared with healthy controls,while the ratio of Th1/Th2 was decreased.(2)The natural killer cells level was negatively correlated with the CD3,CD4,CD8 levels respectively.The CD4 level was negatively correlated with the levels of IL-6,IL-10 respectively.(3)No statistically significant relationship was found between the peripheral blood lymphocyte,Th1-Th2 cytokines and pathological type,lymph node metastasis,distant metastasis.Conclusion Immune suppression was very common in lung cancer patients,particularly cell mediated immunity suppressed markedly.The proportion and function of CD+4T cells decreased significantly.which may resulted from the Th1,Th2 imbalance.Natural killer cells and CD+8T cells increased significantly,but could not prevent tumor development,which may resulted from these factors that suppress immune response in tumor microenvironment.

AIM: To determine the evolutionary pattern of parenchymal cell apoptosis in multiple organs early after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) and its induction mechanisms and the role of apoptosis in triggering SIRS/MODS. METHODS: An I/R model was reproduced by clipping and releasing the superior mesenteric artery in rats and mice. Flow cytometry, electron microscope, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, TUNEL method, fluorescent and Gomori's silver-HE staining were used to detect apoptosis. Distribution features of apoptotic parenchymal cells in multiple organs were observed. Immunohistochemical staining of HSP 70 and Bcl-2 were performd to study the induction mechanisms of apoptosis.RESULTS and CONCLUSION: 1. Damage of the liver, lung, gut and kidney was appeared in early phase of I/R. The percentages of apoptosis in parenchyma organs increased progressively. The percentages of cell necrosis increased with the prolonged I/R duration. 2. Percentages of apoptosis were much higher near the central veins of liver lobules, in the outer medulla of the kidney, and the antimescenteric border of intestinal mucosal epithelium because of ischemia. 3. The expression of HSP 70 increased and Bcl-2 reduced in the areas mentioned above because of hypoperfusion. 4. Apoptosis of I/R hepatocytes, splenocytes and thymocytes was obviously increased after Kupffer cell blockage with GdCl3, showing the functional state of Kupffer cells may play an important role in SIRS/MODS.
