Journal of Third Military Medical University 1988;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the time and distribution characteristics of neuron apoptosis occurred after global cerebral ischemia in rats,so as to provide some helpful experimental basis both for the early interference of injured neuron and the prevention and treatment of brain secondary damage.Methods In the global cerebral ischemia model with modified 4-vessel occlusion method,the amount and distribution of apoptotic neuron in hippocampus and cortex after ischemia and reperfusion were detected with TTC staining,TUNEL labeling and AO/EB fluorescence examination techniques.Intracellular free calcium concentration was measured with Fura-2 AM fluorescent indicator.Results TUNEL showed that apoptotic neurons scattered in hippocampus 3 h after reperfusion,then spread around to cortex.The amount of apoptotic cell reached to the peak at 24-48 h.The died cells appeared later and mainly dispersed around the apoptotic cells.There was a significant increase of the amount of died cells 72 h after ischemia and reperfusion.AO/EB fluorescence examination showed that the total amount of the apoptotic neurons in hippocampus,frontal cortex and parietal cortex reached their peak at 24 h and 72 h respectively,and they were significantly higher than that in control group(P

Objective To investigate and analyze the perioperative nursing of patients with breast cancer, and explore the effectiveness of the application of mind map in perioperative nursing care of patients with breast cancer. Methods The cluster sampling method was employed, and 265 patients with breast cancer receiving radical mastectomy treatment from department of general surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning Medical University were gathered according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 137 cases were assigned to test group (May 2014 to April 2015), and 128 cases were assigned to control group (May 2013 to April 2014 ). Nursing work was improved by establishing research group, discussing the design of perioperative nursing mind map and applying mind maps. Effect was evaluated by evaluating the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with breast cancer, the quality of patient′s life and the patient′s satisfaction. Results The incidence of bleeding, seroma, flap necrosis, upper extremity swelling and other postoperative complications of patients with breast cancer in test group was 26.28%(36/128),and that in control group was 73.44%(94/137). The differences between the two groups were of statistical significance (χ2=58.891, P<0.01). The perioperative survival quality scores of physiology, society/family, emotions, function, additions and total in the test group were (2.43 ± 1.09), (2.64±0.97), (2.85±0.97), (2.43±1.09), (2.22±1.12),(2.34±1.13), and that in the control group were (1.89± 1.09), (1.89 ± 1.06), (1.78 ± 0.92), (1.89 ± 1.09), (1.76 ± 1.05), (2.00 ± 1.09)respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=4.664-10.829,P<0.01). The proportion of patient satisfaction in test group was 94.89%(130/137),and that in control group was 82.03%(105/128), respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2=10.900, P < 0.01). Conclusions Application of mind map in nursing intervention is able to help nurses to grasp the key content and direction of perioperative nursing on patients with breast cancer. More importantly, not only can it improved patients′quality of life and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, but also increases patients′satisfaction.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal damage caused by hyperlipidemia. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: normal control group (NC, n=20) and high-fat group (HF, n=20). Rats in NC group were fed with normal diet while those in HF group were fed with high-fat diet. Five rats in each group were randomly chosen in week 4, 8, 12 and 18. Serum lipid, urine protein in 24 hours and the pathological changes of renal tissues were observed; the apoptosis of renal cells was detected by TUNEL staining; the expression of GRP78 protein in the kidney was examined by immunohistochemistry. The expression of GRP78 mRNA and CHOP mRNA was examined by RT-PCR. Results Compared with those in NC group, serum lipid as well as the expression of GRP78 mRNA and protein in the kidney were increased in week 4, 8, 12 and 18 in HF group(P<0.05). In contrast, urine protein in 24 hours, the apoptosis index of renal cells and the expression of CHOP mRNA were increased in week 8, 12 and 18 (P<0.05). Conclusion CHOP pathway of endoplasmic reticulum stress is involved in renal damage caused by hyperlipidemia.

AIM: To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia and the influence effect of simvastatin. METHODS: Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: rats in control group (n=10) were fed with normal diet; rats in high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet; animals in simvastatin+high fat group (n=10) were fed with high fat diet and were received simvastatin 10 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1) by gastric irrigation. After 18 weeks, the quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum cholesterol and triglycerides levels were tested. The pathological changes of renal tissue were observed under optic microscope. The expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK in renal tissues were examined by immunohistochemistry. The apoptotic cells in the kidney were detected by TUNEL staining. The mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were examined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expressions of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were increased in high fat group (P<0.01).The quantitative urine protein in 24 h, the serum lipid, the expression of GRP78 and p-JNK proteins, the mRNA expressions of GRP78 and CHOP as well as the apoptotic cells in renal tissues were remarkably reduced in simvastatin+high fat group than those in high fat group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The endoplasmic reticulum stress is engaged in the renal injury caused by hyperlipidemia. The simvastatin play a role in renal protection by inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress in the kidney.
