Objective To explore the role of eNOS and NF-?B in the cultured endothelial cells apoptosis induced by TNF-? and Ang II.Methods The cultured endothelial cells were treated with TNF-? and Ang II in absence and presence of PDTC(an inhibitor of NF-?B);the mRNA of eNOS was measured by RT-PCR,the protein of eNOS and I?B? were assessed by Western-blot,the activity of NF-?B was evaluated by EMSA,and the apoptosis of cells was detected with Tunel.Results The mRNA and protein of eNOS were significantly decreased in the endothelial cells induced by TNF-? and AngII(P

Objective To summarize the clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of demyelinating pseudotumors(DPT)of the brain,and to differentiate it from glioma. Methods The clinical features,neuroimaging findings and pathological characteristics of 35 patients with demyelinating pseudotumors of the brain were summarized,and the diagnosis for 18 of them was confirmed by bioscopy.Results Demyelinating pseudotumors affected adults of both sexes.The onset age of patients ranged from 9 to 69 years old.There was no definite antecedent,and the clinical syndromes were atypical. Neuroimaging scans showed multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere,while the lesion in brain stem and spinal cord was single.The symptom and neuroimaging were not parallel.While with many or large lesions, the symptoms and signs were less.The lesions were not enhanced on CT scan,but appeared round or patch enhancement on MRI scan.Nine patients with DWI all appeared high density.The myelin basic protein was useful for diagnosis.The typical pathological changes were demyelination,perivascular inflammatory infiltration and reactive gliosis.The Creutzfeuldt cells were also found in these patients.The lesions might become small or disappear after treatment,but could not serve as the criterion to exclude brain neoplasm. Conclusions DPT is a distinct demyelination disease entity,which is confusable with brain neoplasm.It is difficult to distinguish DPT from brain neoplasm with the clinical features and conventional neuroimaging scan.But DWI scan is useful.The pathological changes accord with demyelination,and Creutzfeuldt cells are also found.It is important to apply corticosteroid treatment or biopsy rather than being anxious to excise the lesions.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide pretreatment on the delayed neuronal death(DND) and the expreesion of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) in rat hippocampus after ischemia/ reperfusion.

METHODSAll rats were randomly divided into sham group (n = 36), total cerebral ischemia (TCI) group (n = 36), butylphthalide (NBP) group (n = 6), NBP + TCI group( n = 36), quercetin + NBP + TCI group (n = 6), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + NBP + TCI group (n = 6). The model of total cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was established by blocking vertebral arteries and carotid arteries. In sham group, TCI group and NBP group, the animals were further divided into instantly, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d groups according to the time interval after sham operation or TCI. Histological changes of the hippocampus were evaluated using thionin staining under light microscope by determining the delayed neuronal death (DND) and the expression of HSP70 was assayed using immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSNBP pretreatment could reduce delayed neuronal death in CA1 of hippocampus induced by TCI-reperfusion injury in rats, and up-regulated the expression of HSP70 in CA1 hippocampus of brain ischemic/reperfusion for 5 days. Quercetin blocked the acquirement of the brain ischemic tolerance induced by NBP preconditioning.

CONCLUSION3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) prevents the neurons from ischemia/reperfusion injury through upregulating the expression of HSP70.

Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a glycoprotein expressing on the surface of neurons, glial cells, bone cells and natural killer cells. NCAM plays an important role in the process of cell - cell adhesion and cell migration, and is also a model protein to study polysialic acid. In this paper, NCAM gene from mouse mammary gland cells (NMuMG) was cloned into eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1(+) and transfected into mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells ldlD-14. The stable transfection over-expressing NCAM was obtained through the G418 selection and confirmed by Western blotting. Due to unique characters of ldlD-14 cells, carbohydrate chain of NCAM molecule can be easily manipulated with or without adding galactose in the serum free medium, and this modification can provide the basis for further studies on the effect of glycosylation on NCAM molecular function.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate, high risk factors and hemodynamic changes of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in premature infants, and to give suggestions abo ut clinical monitoring and management of PDA in premature infants. Methods Echocardiography was performed on 86 non-ventilated or weaned from ventilator-pr emature infants at 2 to 5 days of age,whose gestational age was 28 to 36 weeks. All premature infants diagnosed as PDA were followed up clinically and by Echoc ardiography until discharged. Results Twenty-two infants diagnosed as PDA at mean 3 days of age, mean gestational age was (33.l?2.0) weeks. Ductus in 16 infants (out of 20 infants) closed spontaneo usly when repeated echocardiography at mean 8.5 days of age. For 4 remaining PDA infants, ductus closed in 2 cases (l treated with indomethacin). One ductus reo pened because of sepsis, and 3 infants discharged with opened ductus at their 2l , 40 and 47 days of age respectively. Single and multiple Logistic analysis indi cated that the lower the birth-weight ,the higher the incidence of PDA (?2=2. 8907 P=0.0891); neonatal asphyxia and suffered from severe diseases (neonat al respiratory distress syndrome, sepsis) were high risk factors of PDA (?2= 4.3729 P=0.0365;?2=11.6590 P=0.0006). Premature infants with PDA h ad good heart function,although their LA/AO ratio increased slightly (1.0810?0. 18 vs 1.00?0.07,P= 0.048).Conclusions PDA incidence at 3 days of life in 33 weeks premature infants is 25.6%, 85% PDA disappeares spontaneously during follow-up. Low birth-weight asphyxia, severe diseases and symptomatic PDA are high risk factors of PDA. Ductus can reopen in premature infants. J Appl Clin Pediatr,2005,20(2):129-131

Objective To conduct a Meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of interfer on-α for treating HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B in children.Methods PubMed and Chinese Biomedical Database were searched from the beginning to April 2006,and the references of eligible studies were manually screened.Randomized controlled trials published in the English and Chinese literature comparing interferon-α with non-antiviral interventions(placebo or no treatment)in children with chronic hepatitis B were eligible for inclusion.Studies were included if patients were treated for at least 3 months and followed up for at least 6 months after cessation of therapy.Two investigators independently assessed the quality and extracted the data.The methodological quality of trails was assessed by the Jadad-scale plus allocation concealment.Heterogeneity was examined by Chi-square test.Fixed effects model or random effects model was used to pool the data.Sensitivity analyses were used in the treatment course.Results Seven randomized controlled studies with a total of 360 child chronic hepatitis B virus carriers who were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen werc identified.It was found by Meta-analysis that,compared with the control,at the end of therapy,interferon-α could significantly clear HBeAg[22.1%vs 6.7%,OR 3.56,95% CI(1.74, 7.28),P=0.000 5],HBV DNA[33.7% vs 12.6%,OR 3.50,95% CI(2.03,6.06),P＜0.01], HBsAg [6.5% vs 0.5%,OR 7.10,95% CI(1.52,33.12),P=0.01],and achieve HBeAg seroconversion [17.3% vs 2.9%,OR 5.62,95% CI(1.65,19.18),P=0.006],but was not more effective in HBsAg seroversion[2.0% vs 0,OR 3.55,95%CI(0.35,35.93),P=0.28]and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)normalization[24.2% vs 16.2%,OR 1.72,95% CI(0.84,3.52), P=0.14].Conclusions Interferon a may be efficacious in clearance of HBeAg,HBV DNA and HhsAg, and achievement of HBeAg seroversion.Little evidence is available on HBsAg seroversion and ALT normali zation.Rigorously designed large sample size randomized double blind clinical trials with large sample size are required to further confirm and support the conclusion.

Objectives To investigate clinic outcome of ticagrelor in treatment of patients with acute ST-segment elevation my ocardial infarction receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods Sixty-two consecutive patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were included in this study.The clinic characteristics,thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) refuse after PCI,clinical outcomes after 30 d of patients were compared between patients who were treated with ticagrelor (group A 30 cases) and clopidogrel (group B 32 cases).Results There was no difference in the age,proportion of women,hypertension,and diabetics (P ＞ 0.05).TIMI 3 refuse after PCI were significantly higher in group A than group B (96.7％ vs 87.5％,P ＜ 0.05).The 30 d re-angina pectoris was lower in group A than group B (3.3％ vs 12.5％,P ＜0.05).However,tiny bleeding of group A was higher than group B (13.3％ vs 3.1％,P ＜0.05).Conclusions Ticagrelortreatment can improve the prognosis of STEMI receiving primary PCI,but increase the risk of bleeding.
