AIM:To investigate the effects of propofol on ammonia-induced neocortical astrocyte aquaporin-4 expression in rats and its mechanism. METHODS:Astrocytes were separated from newborn Sprague Dawley rats. Glial fibrillary acidic protein,the specific protein of astrocyte,was labeled by cell immunofluorescence method. The purity of astrocyte achieved to 95% was considered to be used in the study. Grouping:cultured astrocytes were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=3):normal control group (N); ammonia-incubated for 24 h group (NH_4Cl-24 h); p38 antagonist SB203580 (10 μmol/L) pretreated group (SB); propofol (10 μmol/L) pretreated group (P); solvent (DMSO) control group (C). SB203580,propofol and DMSO were pretreated for 30 min before astrocytes were exposed to NH_4Cl. Cell morphology was assessed by light microscopy. The expression of aquaporin-4; p38 and p-p38 were detected by Western blotting. RESULTS:Astrocytes were found significant swelling when exposed to 5 mmol/L NH_4Cl in NH_4Cl-24 h group compared to control group. Pretreatment with propofol and SB203580 decreased astrocyte swelling. No significant change in total p38 in all groups was observed (P>0.05) by Western blotting analysis,while the levels of p-p38 and AQP4 in group SB and group P were significantly decreased compared to group C and group NH_4Cl-24 h (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The expression of AQP4 is regulated by p38 pathway. Propofol pretreatment down-regulates aquaporin-4 expression through preventing the ammonia-induced p38 phosphorylation.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the changes in CIE L*, a*, and b* at cervical, body, and incisal sites after tooth bleaching by using a spectrophotometer.

METHODSSixty-seven intact and healthy maxillary central incisors were in-vestigated. These incisors were darker than A3 according to the Vita Classical shade guide. The CIE tooth shade parameters L*, a*, and b* were simultaneously recorded at three tooth areas (cervical, body, and incisal) with a spectrophotometer before and after tooth bleaching (35%H2O2 coordinating with Beyond whitening accelerator irradiating). The shade dif-ferential (DeltaE) was calculated. ANOVA, paired t-test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used for data analysis.

RESULTSThe efficacy rates of tooth bleaching were satisfactory, with 86.6%, 86.6%, and 85.1% in the cervical, body, and incisal sites, respectively. The average values of DeltaE were 5.09, 4.44, and 4.40 in the cervical, body, and incisal sites. Tooth bleaching significantly increased L* and significantly decreased a* and b* in all tooth areas (P < 0.01). The decreasing range of Deltab* was more than the increasing range of DeltaL* at the cervical site; opposite results were observed at the incisal site. A positive correlation was detected between baseline b* and DeltaE.

CONCLUSIONThe spectrophotometer could objectively evaluate the whitening effect of tooth bleaching at the different tooth sites. The tooth bleaching system (35%H202 coordinating with Beyond whitening accelerator irradiating) exerts powerful bleaching actions in most of the tooth areas investigated. The order of tooth bleaching effectiveness is cervicalbody>incisal. Yellow coloration is decreased mainly at the cervical site, and brightness was increased mostly at theincisal site. The effectiveness of tooth bleaching increases as the baseline b* value increases.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are common mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract.The results of computed tomography play important roles in the diagnosis,treatment planning and follow up of GISTs. From August 2007 to January 2012,28 patients with GISTs were admitted to the Henan Provincial People's Hospital. Sixteen tumors showed extra-luminal growth,4 showed intra-luminal growth,7 involved both intra- and extra-luminal growth,and 1 showed extra-gastrointestinal growth.After administration of contrast media,9 tumors demonstrated homogeneous enhancement,18 showed heterogeneous enhancement and 1 showed non-obvious enhancement.The enhancement of tumors in arterial and venous phase was 20 Hu higher than that in plain scan.Angiogenesis was displayed in 6 tumors,and feeding arteries were observed in 3 tumors.

Objective To evaluate the changes parameters of polysomnographic ( PSG) with different subtypes of primary Parkinson's disease ( PD ) and analyze the clinical characteristics of sleep disorders in PD patients. Methods Ninety patients with primary PD [ tremor-predominant PD group ( n = 40 ) , postural instability gait disorder ( PIGD )-predominant PD group ( n = 50 ) ] and 50 healthy controls were detected by full night PSG monitoring. And the results were compared. Results Compared with tremor-predominant PD group, the total sleep time, bed time, sleep wake-up times, sleep efficiency and rapid eye movement ( REM ) sleep time of PIGD-predominant PD group were significantly lower (all P<0. 05), however, the sleep latency, S1 (min), S1 (%), S2 (min), S2 (%), S3+S4(min), S3+S4 (%) had no statistical significance (all P>0. 05). Compared with the controls, the total sleep time and bed time of tremor-predominant PD group were significantly lower (all P<0. 05), however, the sleep wake-up times, sleep efficiency, REM sleep time, sleep latency, S1 ( min ) , S1 (%) , S2 (min), S2 (%), S3 + S4 (min), S3 + S4 (%) had no statistical significance (all P>0. 05). Combined with video surveillance video observation,the abnormality of REM sleep behavior disorder ( RBD) was 70% with PIGD-predominant PD group, in which the abnormality of tremor-predominant PD group was 2. 5%. Conclusions The PIGD-predominant PD patients are more likely to appear sleep disorders and RBD than tremor-predominant PD patients. It may be related to clinical heterogeneity of different PD subtypes.
