Objective To investigate the dynamic expression of the drug resistance protein P-glycoprotein (P-gp) within 72 hours in the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ)-induced status epilepticus (SE) model, and to identify the optimal detection time to inhibit P-gp. Methods mRNA and protein expressions of P-gp in rats hippocampal tissue were detected by using immunohistochemistry , RT-qPCR and Western blot at different time points after modeling (0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 h). Results The mean density of P-gp protein in the hippocampus of status epilepticus model was 0.325 1 ± 0.008 2 at 24 h, and was 0.396 3 ± 0.016 8 at 48 h, which were consistently higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Results of qRT-PCR showed that MDR1a expression was significantly upregulated at 24 h and at 48 h (P < 0.05, P < 0.01, respectively). Western blot assay revealed that P-gp protein was also significantly increased at 48 h after seizures (P < 0.05). Conclusions The upregulation of P-gp after SE peaked at 48 h, which maybe the optimal detection time to detect drug resistant after SE.

Objective To study the feasibility of detecting fetus RhD type gene by Surface Plasmon Reso-nance(SPR)technology,and to establish a new rapid diagnosis method for fetus RhD type gene.Methods The different types of DNA corresponding RNA probes were fixed on the surface of SPR chip by using amino cou-pling methods,and optimize the chip analysis condition,and then using the RNase H enzyme hydrolysis,signal amplification detection,at last the detection conditions were determined.We use the RhD type gene exon 5,7 of RNA probe to test its corresponding DNA molecules,and analyse the specificity and sensitivity of SPR chip detection signal.Results The SPR technique for detecting the exon 5,7 of RhD blood type gene shows good sensitivity and specificity in all,SPR technology can specifically detect the Exon 5,7 of RhD blood type gene, and the sensitivity of for detecting RhD gene exon 5,7 is 100 pmol/L by SPR.Conclusion The SPR technolo-gy can quickly detect RhD gene accordingly,SPR technology is simple,rapid,reliable and label-free,w hich can provide a new way predicting fetal RhD type for RhD negative prenatal.
