Selectins are a family of adhesion molecules,including P-,L-,E-selectins.The three adhesion molecules all participate in the inflammatory processes of ischemia-reperfusion injury of brain.P-selectin is expressed on activated platelets as well as on endothelial cells.E-selectin is only expressed on endothelial cells.P-and E-selectin mediate the adhesion of the leukocytes,platelets and endothelial cells.L-selectin is mainly expressed on leukocytes and mediates leukocytes rolling contact with microvascular endothelial cells.

Objective To investigate whether intrauterine hypoxia and ischemia can produce long-time effects or NOSI can prevent these damages. Methods Fetal rat intrauterine distress model was constructed. The rats were divided into the normal group, hypoxia and ischemia reperfnsion group and treatment group. Pupa were given to surrogate mothers and the ability of learning and memory at 40 day of age after delivery were examined. Then the water maze test was performed to detect the space learning ability and memory function of rats, and the changing of synaptophysin levels in hippocampns were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Result Behavioral results show that fetal distress produces cognitive impairment demonstrated by Morris water maze performance including a higher escape latency score and a de-creased cross platform time. The COD of Syp positive immunoreactive product in hippocampus were less decreased than that in the normal group or NOSI group. But the behavioral results and the COD of synaptophysin had no difference between normal group and NOSI group. Conclusions Fetal distress produced cognitive impairment and led to the decreasing of synaptophysin in hippocampns. Effective measure can relieve these damages.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on seizure frequency in epilepsy patients complicated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods Subjects were divided into CPAP group (20 subjects) and medication group (22 subjects) according to whether they can tolerate CPAP. CPAP group were treated with CPAP combined with antiepileptic drugs. Medication group were treated with antiepileptic drugs alone. Seizure frequency and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were compared between groups before and after 4 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment. Results Baseline seizure frequency and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) were compared between groups(P>0.05). A sig?nificant reduction of seizure frequency was observed in CPAP group after 4 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment compared to that before treatment (P<0.01). In medication group, no significant difference in seizure frequency was noted betweem 4 weeks and 24 weeks after treatment compared to that before treatment(P>0.05). A significant reduction of AHI was ob?served in the CPAP group after 24 weeks of treatment compared to that before treatment (P<0.01), but no change of AHI by treatment was observed in medication group (P>0.05). Conclusion Treatment of OSA in patients complicated with epilep?sy may improve seizure control in short and long term, but longer observation time and more samples are needed for further research.

OBJECTIVE: To establish headspace capillary gas chromatography for the content determination of residual solvents in letrozole, such as chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol. METHODS: Dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol in letrozole were determined by headspace gas chromatography with HP-5 capillary gas chromatography. ECD was applied for chloroform, while FID was applied for the other residual solvents. RESULTS: The liner ranges of chloroform, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, DMF and isopropanol were 1.028～10.28 mg?L-1(r=0.999 9), 94.68～946.8 mg?L-1 (r=0.999 7), 94.64～946.4 mg?L-1(r=0.999 7), 110.64～1 106.4 mg?L-1(r=0.999 7), 15.12～151.2 mg?L-1(r=0.999 6), 116.48～1 164.8 mg?L-1(r=0.999 5), respectively. The average recoveries of the residual organic solvents ranged from 97% to 102%. The detection limits were 20～90 ?g?L-1. The residual levels of the six organic solvents in three batches of samples were all up to the standard stipulated in Chinese Pharmacopeia. CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple, sensitive, accurate and reliable for the content determination of residual organic solvents in letrozole.

Objective To observe the changes of the blood pressure after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) as well as the expressions of α2A-adrenergic receptor (AR) in center (brain tissue) and peripheral (renal tissue) α1A-AR and to investigate the correlation between α1A-AR/α2A-AR and blood pressure regulation in acute hypertensive ICH. Methads A total of 30 six-month-old male SHRs were randomly divided into a sham-operation group and ICH (day 1,3, 7 and 14) groups (n =6 in each group). Blood pressure was measured by the tail-cuff method. Collagenase Ⅳ was injected into caudate-puta-men nucleus to induce a model of ICH. The expressions of α1A-AR and α2A-AR were detected by using immunohistochemistry and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results One day after ICH, the blood pressure was 195.4 ± 8.39 mm Hg, and it was significantly higher than 177.8 ± 8.69 mm Hg (P = 0. 000) before ICH and 184. 1 ± 3.76 mm Hg in the sham-operation group (P=0. 002). At day 3 it was 185.3 ±9.22 mm Hg, and it was lower than that at day 1. It was 177.7 ±5.62 mm Hg and 176.7 ±6. 06 mm Hg at day7 and 14 respectively, which almost returned to the normal level before ICH. The α1A-AR mRNA and protein in renal tissue at day 1 after ICH were 0. 91 ±0. 013 and 0. 944 ±0. 142%, respectively, They were higher than 0. 89 ±0. 018 and0. 779 ±0. 103% in the sham-operation group, and they reached the peak (0. 93 ±0.015, P =0.008; 1.526 ± 0.296%, P =0.010) at day 3. The α2A-AR mRNA and protein in brain tissue were 0. 93 ±0. 020 and 2.64 ±0. 293% at day 3 after ICH, and they were significantly higher than 0. 86 ±0. 019 (P =0. 001) and 1. 070 ±0. 155% (P = 0. 020), and0.87 ±0. 029 (P =0. 000) at day 1 after ICH and 1. 629 ±0. 488% (P =0. 023) in the sham-operation group. The changes of blood pressure in the ICH day 1 to day 7 grottos in SHRs and correlation coefficient of α2A-AR mRNA absorbance in brain tissue r was - 0. 509 (P = 0.031), and the correlation coefficient of α2A-AR protein-expression volume fraction in brain tissue r was - 0. 473 (P = 0. 047). Conelusions Regulation of blood pressure during acute ICH may have certain correlation with the up-expressions of α2A-AR in brain tissue and α1A-AR in renal tissue.
