A medical studies have indicated that there would be a defense response from human body after TBI,which mainly comes with inflammatory reaction. Human body's resistance seems likely to be enhanced,during this process, by inflammatory cytokines leading to rehabilitation of the cellular organization.However,a strong Inflammation from the whole human body may be caused due to the excessive activation,which, instead, worsens secondary brain injury. This article discusses the relationship between cytokines and traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Oct4 and Wnt2 in human glioma tissues and its relationship with the clinicopathological features of glioma. Methods: Fifty-six paraffin blocks were obtained from glioma patients receiving surgery. The diagnosis of these patients were confirmed by pathology in our hospital from 2006-2009. Immunohistochemi-cal staining was used to examine Oct4 and Wnt2 expression in the brain tissues of 10 patients with acute brain injury and 56 glioma tissues (including 15 recurrent cases). Results: The normal brain tissues were negative of Oct4, with only one case showing weak Wnt2 expression. Thirty-four of the 56 glioma tissues showed positive expression of Oct4 (60.7%), and 40 showed positive expression of Wnt2 (71.4%). Positive expression rates of Oct4 and Wnt2 in low-grade and high-grade glioma tissues were 46.2 %, 73.3% and 57.7 %, 83.3%, respectively (P < 0.05). Oct4 positive rates in the recrudescence and newly diagnosed glioma tissues were 86.7% and 51.2%, respectively (P < 0.05). Oct4 expression in the glioma tissues was positively correlated with that of Wnt2 (r = 0.537, P < 0.01). Conclusion: Expression of Oct4 and Wnt2 is associated with the malignant degrees of glioma, and Oct4 expression is related to the recurrence of glioma. Oct4 might participate in the development and progression of brain glioma through Wnt signaling pathway.

This investigation was aimed to explore whether over-expression of 27heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) could protect bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)against injury induced by high-concentration glucose. We cultured BMSCs in high-concentration glucose medium, and up-regulated or inhibited HO-1 expression in BMSCs through its agonist or inhibitor. We detected the ability of BMSCs proliferation and secretion respectively by MTT and enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay (ELISA). Then we detected the effect of BMSCs conditions medium on proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) through scratch experiments and transwell assay. It was found that HO-1 over-expression could not only promote BMSCs proliferation, but also promote secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and could further accelerate the proliferation and migration of HUVECs. It could be well concluded that HO-1-over-expressing BMSCs can not only inhibit damage induced by high-concentration glucose, but can promote the proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells through paracrine as well. The result indicated that HO-1-over-expressing BMSCs played an important role in the treatment of diabetic vascular complication.
