Objective To determine the effects of Hyperoside ( Hyp) on the memory impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia. Meth-ods SD rats were exposed in hypobaric hypoxia chamber which simulated 6 100 m high altitude for 7 days to induce memory impairment. Morris maze was applied to determine the effects of Hyp on memory in hypobaric chamber. The activities of SOD and CAT and levels of GSH and MDA in rat hippocampus were measured by assay kit ( Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute) . Results In target quadrant,the time and path and the frequency to cross platform were reduced under hypobaric hypoxia as compared with normoxia group ( P < 0. 05 or P<0. 01). Administration of Hyp significantly attenuated the hypoxia-induced the memory impairment responses(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The activities of SOD and CAT in rats hippocampus exposed to hypobaric hypoxia were significantly improved in the presence of Hyp as com-pared with the absence of Hyp(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),so did GSH level (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Significant decrease of MDA levels was observed in the hippocampus on exposure to hypobaric hypoxia with Hyp as compared without Hyp. Conclusion Hyp reduces hypoxia-in-duced oxidative stress injury by upregulating activity of antioxidant proteins such as SOD,CAT in hippocampus of rats, which contribute to at-tenuate memory impairment induced by hypobaric hypoxia.

Objective To evaluate the role of hepatocyte apoptosis in ischemia/reperfusion injury of grafted liver and the effects of endothelin 1 (ET 1) monoclonol antibody on hepatocyte apoptosis.Methods Othotopic liver transplantation rats were divided into two groups: with and without ET 1 antibody. The concentrations of ET 1 of plasma and liver tissue were measured. The parameters of liver fuction were determined . The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured and the number of apoptotic hepatocytes in grafts liver was determined.Results The levels of ET 1, ALT in serum, and ET 1, MDA and apoptotic cells in the grafted liver after ischemia/reperfusion were significantly increased compared with normal values. In the ET 1 antibody group, the levels of ET 1, ALT, MDA and apoptotic cells were significantly decreased. Conclusions ET 1 monoclonal antibody can attenuate ischemia/reperfusion injury by decreasing lipid peroxide reaction, and decreasing apoptosis of hepatocytes and thus protect the liver graft.

Objective:To search for potential protein biomarkers of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and thyroid borderline lesion. Dif-ferentially expressed proteins between the two were analyzed and identified. Methods:A total of 118 cases of thyroid resection sam-ples were obtained from patients who underwent surgery at the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from April 2013 to Febru-ary 2015. Experimental groups included 43 PTCs (40 classic and 3 follicular variants) and 33 thyroid borderline lesions (with equivocal PTC type nuclear features and papillary structure, but without metastasis, and lacking capsular or vascular invasion;8 cases with atypi-cal adenoma), respectively. The control group included 42 normal thyroid tissues adjacent to carcinoma. The total protein extracts from frozen thyroid samples of 10 cases in each group were profiled with 2D electrophoresis. The differential protein spots were then revealed by PDQUEST 7.3 software and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-fight/time-of-fight mass spec-trometry and Swiss-Prot database search. Six differentially expressed proteins of these spots were further validated using 118 samples through immunohistochemistry. Results:A set of 24 differentially expressed spots significant in discriminating between the sample groups were found, and 18 proteins were identified. Immunohistochemistry revealed the following six proteins located in the cyto-plasm:keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8 (CK8);keratin, type I cytoskeletal 18 (CK18);60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP60);actin, cytoplasmic 2 (γ-actin);14-3-3 protein beta/alpha (14-3-3β/α);and 14-3-3 protein epsilon (14-3-3ε). All six proteins were overexpressed in PTC compared with normal tissues (P<0.001). Meanwhile, CK8, CK18, HSP60, andγ-actin were overexpressed in PTC compared with bor-derline lesions (P<0.01). Except for CK8, the five other proteins were overexpressed in borderline lesions compared with normal tis-sues (P<0.001). Conclusion:Proteomic analysis is useful in searching for new biomarkers of PTC and thyroid borderline lesion. The ex-pression patterns of these differentially expressed proteins can be further validated using immunohistochemistry. The newly identified protein biomarkers can positively contribute to early PTC diagnosis.
