Nuclear factor kappa B(NF-?B) is a pleiotropic nuclear transcriptive factor widely expressed in the nervous system.Recently,studies have demonstrated that NF-?B is also expressed in neural stem cells and may play an important role in their proliferation,migration and differentiation.This article reviews the recent advances in this new research field.

Objective:To investigate the in vitro release behavior and stability of diphenyl diester suspension. Methods:The dis-solution of biphenyl diester dry suspension was detected by HPLC, and the effects of different stirring speed (50, 75, 100 r·min-1 ) and different dissolution media (pH 6. 8 phosphate buffer, 0. 05 mol·L-1 hydrochloric acid solution,water,pH 4. 5 acetate buffer) on dissolution were investigated. The influencing factors testing ( high temperature, high humidity and strong light exposure) , accelerated stability testing[the temperature of (37 ± 5) ℃ and the relative humidity of 76％ ± 5％] and long-term stability testing[(25 ± 3) ℃and the relative humidity of 60％ ± 5 ％] of biphenyl diester dry suspension were carried out. Results:The dissolution behavior of bi-phenyl diester suspension in pH 6. 8 phosphate buffer (50 r·min-1 ) was faster and smoother. The results of influencing factors testing showed that biphenyl diester dry suspension should not be stored under the conditions of high temperature and high humidity. After the samples were stored under the conditions of accelerated testing and long-term stability testing for 6 months, the indicators did not change significantly. Conclusion:The in vitro release of prepared biphenyl diester dry suspension meets the requirements with promis-ing stability.

This study explored the accuracy of using visual evoked potentials (VEP) technology for visual acuity estimation. The enrolled 726 patients with post-traumatic unilateral decrease in visual acuity included the injured eyes served as the experimental group, and the healthy eyes as the control group. The least signal visual angle (LSVA), and amplitude and latency of P(100) were chosen as test indexes. The results under different experimental conditions were recorded by PRVEP technology. All data collected were processed and analyzed by SPSS software. The results showed that the coincidence between subjective and VEP visual acuity was 96.7% in control group, but there was very significant difference in experimental group. It was concluded that with the regression formulation for the amplitude of P(100) and vision under LSVA, visual acuity can be estimated more accurately and impartially.

Objective To investigate the change in the expression of excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EAAT3) in the spinal cord neurons in a rat model of chronic morphine tolerance. Methods Forty-five male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 9 each) : group I sham operation (group S); group II normal saline (group NS); group Ⅰ morphine (group M); group Ⅳ ketamine (group K) and groupV M + K. In group II - V a catheter was placed in the subarachnoid space at L_(3-5) interspace. The animals were observed for 3 days. The animals with motor or sensory paralysis of the hindlimbs were excluded. NS 40 μl,morphine 20 μg, ketamine 30μg,morphine 20μg + ketamine 30μg were injected via intrathecal catheter twice a day for 7 consecutive days. 50% paw withdrawal threshold and latency (PWT, PWL) of the hindpaw to radiant heat were measured before (T_0, baseline) , on day 1, 3, 5, 7 of (T_(1-4)) and 1 day after (T_5 ) IT drug administration. The rats were sacrificed after last pain threshold measurement. The expression of EAAT3 protein in the spinal cord was determined by Western blotting and immuno-histochemistry. Results The sensitivity of the hindpaw to noxious heat stimulation was significantly decreased during (T_(1,2)) and increased after IT administration (T_(4,5)) in group M and was significantly decreased during and after FT administration (T_(1-5)) in group M + K as compared with the baseline values at T_0 and group S and was significant lower in group M + K than in group M. The expression of EAAT3 protein in the spinal cord was significantly decreased in group M and M + K as compared with group S and was significantly lower in group M than in group M + K. Conclusion The down-regulation of the expression of EAAT3 in the spinal dorsal horn neurons is involved in the development of chronic morphine tolerance and the expression of EAAT3 is down-regulated by morphine partly through the activation of NMDA receptor.

Objective:To study the mechanism of anti-proliferative effect of lupeol on highly metastatic human hepatocellular car-cinoma HCCLM3 cells. Methods:CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate the effects of lupeol at different concentration on cell viability in 12-48 h. Caspase inhibitors were used to identify the subtypes of caspases activated during lupeol-induced cell death. The effects of lupeol on the mRNA expression of caspase family and Bcl-2 related genes were detected by real-time PCR. The effects of lupeol on HC-CLM3 cell phase distribution were investigated by flow cytometry. Results:Compared with the control group, lupeol could inhibit HC-CLM3 cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 of 93 μmol·L-1 in 24h. The number of HCCLM3 cells in the period of G2/M was increased by 1-fold when the lupeol concentration was within 60-100 μmol·L-1 . Lupeol could activate the path-way of caspase, and the mRNA expression of caspase-3 was elevated by 50%-150% when compared with that in the control group. Mo-reover, the mRNA expression of p53 and Bax were increased above 1-fold by lupeol at 100 μmol·L-1 , and the Bcl-2 and PARP ex-pression were significantly suppressed by lupeol at 60-100 μmol·L-1(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:The results indicate that lupeol has anti-proliferative effect on the liver cancer cells, which is beneficial to the prevention and treatment of liver cancer.
