OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of tilianin(TIL)on brain tissue in rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Totally 120 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(0.9% sodium chloride solution),model group(0.9% sodium chloride solution),nimodipine group(32 mg/kg)and TIL low-dose and medium-dose,high-dose groups(4, 8,16 mg/kg),with 20 rats in each group. The rats were given relevant medicine intragastrically,once a day,for consecutive 7 d. 15 min after last medication,cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was established by reforming suture-occluded method. The neurological deficit score in rats were evaluated, and percentage of cerebral infarction volume of rats was determined. Histopathological changes of brain tissue were observed by HE staining. The activities of SOD,CAT and LDH,MDA content in cerebral tissue of rats were determined. The expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)and peripheral vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) protein were determined by Western blot assay. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,neurological deficit score and percentage of cerebral infarction volume of model group were increased significantly(P<0.01);the nerve cells in brain tissue were significantly reduced and the interstitial edema was obvious. SOD and CAT activities were decreased significantly,LDH activity was increased significantly,MDA content was decreased significantly,protein expression of CGRP and VEGFR2were increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,neurological deficit score of nimodipine group,TIL medium-dose and high-dose groups were decreased significantly;percentage of cerebral infarction volume was decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01);above pathological conditions of cerebral tissue in rats were relieved significantly;SOD and CAT activities were strengthened significantly,MDA content and LDH activities were decreased significantly,protein expression of CGRP and VEGFR2were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TIL has certain protective effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats,and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of CGRP and VEGFR2expression.

Objective The cognition of cervical cancer, Human Papillomavirus ( HPV) and HPV vaccine among females from Shenzhen communities was studied, which provided a reference for prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.Methods The multi-stage sampling method was adopted to select 350 females from 10 communities. The questionnaire survey was conducted for understanding the awareness of cervical cancer, HPV and HPV vaccine related knowledge. Results Among 350 copies of questionnaires, 326 copies were actually effective with an effective rate of 93.14%.The awareness rates of HPV, HPV vaccine, cervical cancer etiology, high-risk HPV ( main inducing cervical cancer ) , how to prevent cervical cancer, route of HPV infection and high-risk factors of HPV spreading were 47.24%(154/326), 30.06%(98/326), 48.47%(158/326), 20.6%(67/326), 21.8%(71/326), 21.2%(69/326).The awareness was significantly higher in the females who were in the age of 31-40 years old, with more than 30 thousand income, with college education or above degree, civil servants or office clerks (P<0.05).Conclusions The females from communities have some knowledge about the relationship between cervical cancer and HPV, but lack comprehensive understanding of prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. Especially we need to enhance the diverse health knowledge spread in females who are young, with low-education background, with low income and labors or farmers, improving the awareness rate of prevention and treatment for cervical lesions.
