A series of studies found that early exercise training after stroke can increase expression of neurotrophic factors and maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier by inhibiting acute neuroinflammation and apoptosis, and reduce brain damage. This artice reviews the neuroprotective roles of early exercise training after stroke and their possible molecular mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of psychological factor on asthma, the protective and therapeutic effects of Shugan Lifei Recipe on rats with asthma under stress and the mechanisms. METHODS: Allergy and stress-induced asthma models were established in rats by giving ovalbumin and restraining stress. Radioimmunoassay, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical method were used to detect plasma corticosterone, IL-4, IFN-gamma, expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA in hippocampus and adrenocorticotropic hormone corticoliberin (CRH) positive neuron in hypothalamus. Optical and electron microscopes were used to observe the morphological changes of pulmonary hilar and hippocampal tissues. RESULTS: Shugan Lifei Recipe (SGLFR) could reduce plasma corticosterone, decrease CRH positive neurons in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus, up-regulate the expression of GR mRNA in hippocampus and reduce the injury of hippocampal neuron. SGLFR had certain inhibitive effect on hyperfunction of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal cortex (HPA) axis in rats with asthma under stress and could also relieve the pathological changes of the pulmonary hilar tissue. The level of plasma IFN-gamma was increased while the level of plasma IL-4 was decreased in SGLFR-treated group. CONCLUSION: The mechanism of SGLFR in treating the rats with asthma under stress is probably to regulate the hyperfunction of HPA axis and the disorder of immuo-system.

AIM:To investigate the effect of vitamin D3 up-regulated protein 1 (VDUP1) gene over-expression/knockdown on the proliferation and migration of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and its related mechanisms.METHODS:Gene over-expression/interference techniques were used to up-regulate/down-regulate the expression of VDUP1 in the MCF-7 cells.The mRNA expression of VDUP1 was detected by qPCR.CCK-8, BrdU and Transwell assays were used to measure the cell viability, proliferation and migration, respectively.The protein levels of Akt, p-Akt, GSK3β and p-GSK3β were determined by Western blot.RESULTS:The mRNA expression of VDUP1 was up-regulated after transfection with VDUP1 over-expression plasmid (P<0.05), and down-regulated after transfection with VDUP1 siRNA (P<0.05).Over-expression of VDUP1 significantly inhibited MCF-7 cell proliferation and migration (P<0.05), while knockdown of VDUP1 enhanced cell proliferation and migration (P<0.05).Furthermore, over-expression of VDUP1 up-regulated the protein levels of p-Akt and p-GSK3β (P<0.05).Inverse results were obtained after knockdown of VDUP1.CONCLUSION:The viability and migration ability of MCF-7 cells are inhibited by over-expression of VDUP1 but enhanced by VDUP1 knockdown, which may be related with Akt/GSK3β pathway.

Objective To research and analyze serological and virological epidemiology charactererization of occult hepatitis B virus infection in Jiaxing volunteer blood donors.Methods 52 698 samples were screened by ELISA(HBsAg、antiHCV 、anti-HIV、anti-TP) and Nucleic acid amplification technique(NAT),then NAT positive samples were further identified to detect virus type.HBsAg-/HBV-DNA+ samples were collected in three different kinds of qualitative HBsAg detection of ELISA kit.The quantitative determination of HBsAg and anti-HBs were used by chemiluminescencemethod.At the same time,real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (QPCR) was used to measure the viral load of HBV.Further analysis and study on the serological and virological distribution of OBI combined with five markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV),with tracing general epidemiological data (sex,age and age).Results The prevalence rate of OBI was 0.89‰ (1 ∶ 1 121) in all donors with OBI infection,and 2 cases of window period (WP) were found in 52698 donors (1 ∶ 26 349).The results of HBsAg and HBeAg were negative in 49 HBsAg-/HBV-DNA+ samples,and 6OBI serological profiles were found.Anti-HBs quantitative concentration(＞100 mIU/mL)accounted for 27.66％ (13/47),while anti-HBc+ positive rate was 91.49％ (43/47).HBV-DNA nucleic acid quantitative ranged from 4.10 to 1.82× 103(IU/mL) (median of 15.83),whereas HBsAg+/HBV-DNA+positive viral load was in the range of 61.47 to 1.28× 104(IU/mL) (median of 538.15).The difference was significant in viral load between experiment group and control group(P＜0.05).Male donors of more than 40 years were higher in prevalence rate of OBI infection (P＜0.05),meanwhile there was a significant difference in OBI infection rate between repeated blood donors and fnrst blood donors(0.01＜P＜0.05).Conclusion The viral load was low in OBI infected donors,and anti-HBc+ was the main manifestation.NAT had the ability to detect OBI,shorten the window period,and contributed to ensure the safety of clinical blood.

Radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RFT) of the gasserian ganglion is a routine and effective technique for the treatment of classical trigeminal neuralgia (CTN). In this study we compared its efficacy in patients with CTN and atypically symptomatic or mixed trigeminal neuralgia (MTN). Fifty-seven patients were treated with RFT for trigeminal neuralgia from June 2006 to February 2009. Thirty patients had CTN, and 27 had MTN. Outcomes were measured by using the visual analog pain scale (VAS) and patients' reports of quality of life (QOL), medication usage, and complications over a follow-up period of up to 3 years. Our results showed that the patients with MTN were younger, tended to have bilaterial involvement of the first division, and were unresponsive to treatment. All surgeries were completed smoothly. About 86.7% CTN patients and 48.1% MTN patients responded immediately to RFT. The VAS scores were significantly higher in the CTN group than in MTN group (P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year pain relief rates were 76.7%, 73.3%, and 73.3% in the CTN group and 46.6%, 41.4%, and 41.4% in the MTN group, respectively. The rates of pain relief for both groups leveled off at 2 years. Complications included numbness, dysesthesia, and anesthesia dolorosa. RFT did not cause any deaths and complications were low. The treatment was very effective for CTN and, to some degrees, effective for MTN. If numbness, dysesthesia, and anesthesia dolorosa are limited to the trigger area, QOL will be greatly improved.

Objective: To analyze the residual risk of transfusion transmitted hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative blood donors, and to assess the infection status. Methods: A total of 45551 samples were collected from blood donors.All samples were tested by 2 different ELISA kids of HBsAg and nucleic acid testing (NAT) individually of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Those ELISA HBsAg negative and NAT single reactive (HBsAg-/HBV DNA+ ) specimens were analyzed by quantitative detection of HBV DNA and by serologic testing of HBV antigen and antibody. Results: A total of 44 HBsAg-/HBV DNA+ samples were detected, including 42 occult HBV infections (OBI) and 2 window period infections (WP). The detection rate of OBI rate was 0.90‰, and 32 samples of OBI sample HBV DNA was less than 20 IU/ml, and the OBI detection rate was significantly different between different genders, ages and blood donation times (P<0.05). In the OBI sample, there were 6 serological models, 92.9%(39/42) OBI samples hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive, and 76.9%(30/39) HBV DNA in HBcAb positive samples were less than 20 IU/ml; 29.5% (13/42) of OBI blood donors hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAb) and HBcAb were also positive, of whom 84.6% (11/13) were HBV DNA quantitatively <20 IU/ml. Conclusions HBV residual risk of transfusion-transmitted infection may occur through HBsAg- and single NAT reactive blood donors, mainly include OBI, and HBV DNA low level. Blocking of single NAT reactive blood donors could reduce transfusion-transmitted HBV infection.

BACKGROUNDTo observe and explore the effects and mechanisms of fibronectin (FN) on invasion of different types of lung cancers.

METHODSUsing tumor invasion models in vitro of plates coated with FN and Boyden chambers with FN filter, differences of adhesion and migration between small cell lung cancer cell line (054A) and adenocarcinoma cell line (A549) were investigated, and proliferative effects of FN on cells were examined. In the meantime the invasive capability changes were observed after cell suspensions were preincubated with anti-α5, anti-α3 and anti-β1 integrin antibodies, respectively.

RESULTSFN could improve the adhesion, migration and proliferation of A549 more markedly than that of 054A. The number of adhesive cells in A549 cell line changed from 34.7± 5.1 to 189.4±12.3 with time from 2h to 12h compared with that from 19.8±7.9 to 159.2±11.9 in 054A cell line (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). A549 cell line had 142.7±5.9 migration cells while 054A cell line had 89.4±4.7 (P < 0.01). FN could improved the proliferation in A549 cell line from 0.250±0.019 to 0.754±0.025 (P < 0.01) in concentration-dependent way, but in 054A from 0.205±0.026 to 0.286±0.029. And these effects were mediated mainly by α3β1 and α5β1 receptors in A549, but α3β1 in 054A.

CONCLUSIONSLung cancers with different origins express so different types and extents of integrin receptors that effects of FN on tumors are various, which is one of important reasons of different invasive capability of lung cancers.
