Collateral circulation may be a potential therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.However,aiming at improving the treatment of collateral circulation,it has not yet got the reliable clinical validation now.Therefore,undergoing the study of collateral circulation first in the animal models of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion has important practical significance.This article reviews the methods of rat chronic cerebral hypoperfusion models,neurobehavioral evaluation,cerebral perfusion assessment,collateral circulation pathways,and the experimental research status of improving collateral circulation.

Objective To explore the distribution and features of the optic cup stem cells in embryonic rat at tailbud stage. Methods The distribution of optic cup stem cells in optic cup tissue in 12.5-embryonic-day-old rats was observed by immunohistochemistry. The separated cells from optic cup were cultured with serum-free media, and immunofluorescence technique was used to detect the ability of hyperplasia of stem cells and expression of CHX10 antigen and specific antigens of mature retinal cells before and after differentiation. Results The optic cup stem cells in embryonic rat at tailbud stage were mainly located at inner, outer, and marginal layer of optic cup. No expression of specifically marked protein of mature retinal cells was detected. The cells separated from optic cup had the ability of single-cell clone, positive expression of CHX10 and expression of several specific antigens of mature retinal cells after the inducement, including Thy1.1, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), protein kinase C (PKC) ?, and rhodopsin. Conclusion Optic cup of 12.5-embryonic-day-old rats composes of undifferentiated cells, and the stem cells are mainly located in optic cup inner and marginal. High ability of hyperplasia of the optic cup stem cells cultured in vitro is found. The cells, which are retinal stem cells, can express several specifically marked proteins of mature retinal cells after inducement and differentiation.

Background and purpose:In recent years, the studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may play important roles in the initial stage and development of tumors. H19 is one of those lncRNAs, which is already proved to overexpress in a variety of tumors such as bladder cancer, stomach cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). And H19 also could promote tumor proliferation and increase tumor cell migration and invasion ability, but neither the expression nor the function of H19 in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) are clariifed. This study aimed to observe the effects of H19 on the proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and invasion ability of NSCLC cell line A549.Methods:H19 was overexpressed by plasmids transfection, then the effect of H19 on the proliferation of A549 was measured by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8), the invasion of A549 cells was detected by Transwell assay, and the changes of cell morphology were observed with an optical microscope, and the expression of EMT-related proteins was detected by Western blot, and the promoter activity of CDH1 was measured by luciferase assay.Results:The proliferation of A549 cells was increased under the overexpression of H19(D value in blank group was 1.64±0.02, in negative control group was 1.59±0.04, in overexpression of H19 group 1.89±0.02,P<0.05), the invasion ability of A549 cells was dramatically enhanced [negative control group (30±6)/vision, overexpression of H19 group (110±7)/vision,P<0.05], and the A549 cells developed longer pseudopodia and had wider intercellular spaces. All these morphology changes indicated that the cells were undergoing the process of EMT, and meantime, the expres-sion of CDH1 was decreased, along with the expression of VIM and SNAI2 elevated, which were also related to the progression of EMT, and H19 also could depress the promoter activity of CDH1 by 60% (P<0.05).Conclusion:The overexpression of H19 induces the EMT, and enhances the proliferation and invasion ability of A549 cells.

Aim To observe the effects of LYS polysaccharides on expressions of APP, PS1, PS2 and ApoE in SAMP8 mouse brain. Methods 50 6-month-old SAMP8 mice were used and divided randomly into 5 groups: SAMP8 untreated control group, huperzine A control group, low-, mid-and high-dose groups of polysaccharides, with 10 mice in each group. 10 6-month-old SAMR1 mice were used as normal control. After each group was treated by corresponding drug for 40 days continuously, the mRNA contents of APP, PS1, PS2 and ApoE in brain tissue were assayed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Results The low-, mid-and high-dose groups of polysaccharides could reduce the mRNA contents of APP, PS1 and PS2, which showed a dose-effect relationship in some degrees. But it could not affect the content of ApoE. Conclusion LYS polysaccharides could inhibit the expressions of APP, PS1, and PS2 in SAMP8 mouse brain.

Objective To study the location of embryonic optic cup stem cells during tailbud stage. Methods The embryonic optic cup at embryonic day 11～15 (E11～15) in rats was sectioned horizontally at 15 ?m thick. The distributive characteristics of embryonic optic cup progenitor cells were revealed by immunohistochemistry. Results ①The distribution of optic cup progenitors was mainly aggregated on the optic cup at E12.5. CHX10-positive cells were organized as stratified epithelium arrangement on optic cup inner layer. Clusters of CHX10-positive cells were observed at the edge of optic cup; ② Pigment appeared in the outer layer of optic cup at E13.5, and differentiation into ganglion cells was initiated. Conclusion The distribution of optic cup stem cells is mainly aggregated on the optic cup at E12.5 in which the differentiation into ganglion cells is not initiated.

Objective The Improved segmental arch technique can effectively intrude incisors and correct deep overbites. To research its biomechanical characteristics, we reconstruct 3D nonlinear finite element model of mandibular teeth with improved segmen-tal arch, study the biomechanical characteristics and the suitable loading force of intrusion arch. Methods Combined with the re-sults of previous research, we complete the reconstruction of 3D nonlinear finite element model of mandibular teeth with improved seg-mental arch.Then, we set loading force of intrusion arch five conditions from 0.2 N~0.6 N, calculate the movement trend and stress distribution of improved segmental arch. Results In the five conditions of improved segmental arch, lateral incisors and canines in-truded and tipped labially, first molars tipped distally and rotated. In addition, the moment the initial loading force of intrusive arch in-creased, the movement of these teeth increased. However, other teeth did not move clearly. When the initial loading force of improved segment arch was 0.5 N, it can achieve appropriate intrusion of anterior teeth. Conclusion Under an appropriate intrusive force, improved segment arch can effectively intrude incisors and control the extrusion of posterior teeth. It can be used to correct the deep overbites, especially with high mandibular planes, gummy smile or adult stage.

AIM:To investigate whether ginsenoside Rg1 attenuates high-fat diet ( HFD)-induced non-alcoho-lic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) by improving β-oxidation.METHODS: SD rats ( n=60) were randomly divided into control group ( CON ) , HFD group, low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose ginsenoside Rg1 groups ( LDG, MDG and HDG) and positive drug ( sodium ursodeoxycholate) treatment group ( PDT) .High-fat diet was given for 8 weeks to suc-cessfully establish an NAFLD model.The animals were treated with the appropriate medications for 4 weeks and 8 weeks af-ter modeling, and sacrificed to collect the liver tissues for observing the pathologic changes with HE staining and for detec-ting liver functions and lipid levels.The expression of hepatic acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (CoASH1), carnitine acyltransferase I (CATI) and acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1) at mRNA and protein levels was determined by RT-PCR and Western blot-ting.RESULTS:After 4-week treatment, the fatty infiltration of the liver tissues in PDT group, LDG group and MDG group was not attenuated except HDG group.After 8 weeks of treatment, a small number of fat particles was observed in PDT group and LDG group, while no infiltration of lipid droplet was found in MDG group and HDG group.Compared with HFD group, the levels of AST, ALT, AKP, TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly decreased after 4-week treatment in PDT group, LDG group, MDG group and HDG group (P<0.05), these indexes were further reduced after 8-week treatment. After 4-week treatment, HDL-C was significantly increased in the 4 treatment groups and almost restored to the level of CON group after 8-week treatment.The levels of CoASH1, CACTI and ACOX1 in the liver tissue of the 4 treatment groups were significantly increased after 4-week treatment (P<0.05) and much improved after 8-week treatment, and those in MDG group and HDG group were better than those in PDT group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Ginsenoside Rg1 regulatesβ-oxidation-related enzymes to improve the fat metabolism, thus playing a therapeutic role in liver injury in the rats with NAFLD.
