Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(04):-
Parkinson’s disease is resulted from the progressive degeneration and from the loss of dopaminergic neurons in Substantia Nigra. Current researches focuson the optimum conditions in vivo and in vitro associating the differentiation as well as survival of dopaminergic neurons,in order to get sufficient dopaminergic neurons for cell-replacement therapy in Parkinson’s disease. This paper reviewed influential factors of neural stem cells differentiate into dopaminergic neurons in vivo and in vitro.

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of the reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS).Methods The clinical and imagig data of 9 patients with RPLS were analyzed retrospectively.Results Among the patients,4(44%)were secondary to pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome,1(11%)was second to short bowel syndrome,1(11% )was second to acute lymphoblastic leukemia,1( 11% )was second to IgA nephropathy,and 2(22%)were second to hypertensive encephalopathy.Their mean age of symptom onset was 23.4 ± 9.9 years.Their main clinical manifestations were headaches,seizures,blurred vision,and consciousness disturbance.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)showed symmetrical lesions of bilateral white matter in posterior brain.T1 weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging showed low or isointense signal.T2 weighted imaging,fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR),and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)map showed high-intensity signal.The symptoms of the patients disappeared after the treatment.MRI reexamination showed that the lesions disappeared completely or almost completely.Conclusions The causes of RPLS were different.The imaging mainly showed the signal of vasogenic brain edema on the posterior white matter of the brain.After timely treatment,the symptorms and imaging features were improved rapidly.The patients with young-onset RPLS are their important clinical feature.[Key wonds]Posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome;Magnetic resonance imaaging;Hypertension;Age factors were improved rapidly.The patients with young-onset RPLS are their important clinical feature.

Background: The quality of life has been greatly influenced and the cost of medical expenses is very high in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The etiology and pathogenesis of IBS are still unclear, and the prevention and treatment of this disease still lack of effective methods. Objective: To explore and analyze the effects of Tiaohe Ganpi Hexin Decoction (TGHD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine for regulating the liver and spleen, on IBS patients with diarrhea. Design, setting, participants and interventions: All 40 IBS patients came from the First Hospital of Jinan University, Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in the treatment group (n=20) were given TGHD, while those in the control group (n=20) were prescribed oral pinaverium with a four-week treatment period. Main outcome measures: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, total obviously effective rate, disappearance rate of symptoms, and clinical symptom score in the two groups were evaluated before and after four-week treatment. Results: After the treatment, TCM syndrome scores in both groups were decreased (P<0.01), and the TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). There was a significant difference in the total obviously effective rate between the two groups (P<0.01), and the total obviously effective rates in the treatment and control groups were 85%(17/20) and 45%(9/20) respectively. The disappearance rates of abdominal pain, abdominal distention, poor stool output, stool frequency, stool character and mucous stool in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The symptom scores of abdominal pain, abdominal distention, poor stool output, stool frequency, stool character and mucous stool in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: TGHD can significantly improve the clinical symptoms in IBS patients with diarrhea.

Objective Resveratrol can improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease , but its action mechanisms remain unclear . This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of resveratrol against the free fatty acid ( FFA)-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L02 cells and its possible mechanisms . Methods Human hepatic L02 cells were incubated with FFA and resveratrol for 24 hours.The prepared cells were divided into a blank control , an FFA ( 2 mmol/L) , and a resveratrol group ( 50 μmol/L resveratrol +2 mmol L/FFA).After treatment, we measured the triglyceride (TG), glutathi-one (GSH), and malonaldchyde (MDA) contents and caspase3 ac-tivity in the hepatocytes , determined the apoptosis of the cells by flow cytometry , and detected the protein expression of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) by Western blot as well as the mRNA expressions of catalase (CAT), Mn superoxide dismucase (MnSOD), Bcl-2, and Bax by qRT-PCR. Results The TG content and caspase 3 activity in the hepatocytes were significantly increased in the FFA ([3518.±64.2] μmol/L and [5.97 ±0.78] U/g) and the resveratrol group ([201.1 ±60.1] μmol/L and [3.60 ±0.73] U/g) as compared with those of the blank control ([40.2 ±7.4] μmol/L and [2.56 ±0.49] U/g) (both P<0.05), but the caspase3 ac-tivity was markedly decreased in the resveratrol group in comparison with that of the FFA group (P<0.05).Both early and late apop-tosis rates of the hepatocytes were remarkably higher in the FFA ([6.75 ±0.81]%and [8.52 ±0.54]%) and the resveratrol group ([4.94 ±0.44]%and [6.52 ±0.61]%) than those in the blank control ([3.38 ±0.33]% and [2.72 ±0.19]%) ( both P<0.05), with statistically significant differences between the former two groups (P<0.05).The resveratrol group showed significant differences in the GSH content ([100.2 ±8.8] nmol/g), the MDA level ([2.36 ±0.82] mg/g), and the relative expression of SIRT1 (0.84 ±0.04) from the FFA group ([73.8 ±13.1] nmol/g, [3.77 ±0.92] mg/g, and 0.61 ±0.07) and the control ([113.7 ±13.8] nmol/g, [1.85 ±0.41] mg/g, and 0.90 ±0.02) (all P<0.05).The resveratrol group also exhibited statistically significant differences in the relative expressions of the MnSOD , CAT, and Bax genes from the FFA and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Resveratrol attenuates FFA-induced apoptosis of human hepatic L 02 cells by activating SIRT1 and reducing the oxidative stress of hepatocytes .
