Objective To investigate the effect of thyroid hormone(T3)on the expressions of cytochrome c (CytC) and apoptosis?inducing factor(AIF) after cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism. Methods SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group(sham1),sham operation group + T3(sham2) ,ischemia?reperfusion group (IR) ,and thyroid hormone treatment group(T3). A rat model of cerebral ischemia?reperfusion injury was established by right middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 h,followed by reperfusion for 24 h. Thyroid hormones (10μg/100 g) or normal saline were given at 1 h after onset of ischemia and 6 h after reperfusionby intraperitoneal injection. Neurological deficit scores were evaluated 24 h after reperfusion. Cerebral infarction volume was evaluated by TTC staining. Histological changes was observed by HE staining. Expressions and mRNA levels of CytC and AIF in ischemic brain tissue were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and real?time fluorescent quantitative RT?PCR. Results Ascompared with those in sham operation groups ,the expressions and mRNA levels of CytC and AIFincreased significantlyin IR groups. As compared with those in IR groups ,the indexes were remarkably decreasedin T3 groups (P < 0.01). Nerve function was markedly improved andinfarction area narrowed.Conclusions Thyroid hormone plays a certain role in protection of cerebral ischemia?reperfusion injury in rats,whose mechanism may be associated with inhibition of the expression of apoptosis factors?CytC and AIF.

Objective To investigate the clinical,imaging,pathological and molecular biological features of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke -like episodes(MELAS)in children.Methods The clinical,imaging,pathological and molecular biological features of 1 2 children with MELAS diagnosed through muscle biopsy or gene sequencing in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 201 1 to December 201 5 were retrospectively analyzed.Results (1 )Clinical features:the main manifestations included headache and vomiting in 1 1 cases,epileptic seizures in 9 cases,short stature in 8 cases,hairy in 7 cases,intolerance fatigue in 7 cases,cogni-tive decline in 7 cases,visual disturbance in 6 cases,hearing disturbance in 6 cases,and 5 cases had positive family history.In addition,7 cases had the serum lactic acid level increase in a rest for 1 0 min after exercise.(2)Imaging fea-tures:4 cases showed bilateral basal ganglia calcification symmetry in 8 patients who underwent head CT scan.The most frequently involved parts of the lesion were occipital in 1 0 cases,temporal in 9 cases and parietal lobe in 7 cases in stroke -like episodes.The lesions were lamellar necrosis.The abnormal areas by MRI showed low signal intensity on T1 weighted imaging,high signal intensity on T2 weighted imaging and fluid attenuated inversion recovery,high or equal signal intensity on diffusion weighted imaging,high or low signal intensity on apparent diffusion coefficient;the lactate peak significantly increased on magnetic resonance spectroscopy.The distribution was not in accordance with the control region of the cerebral vessels.Dynamic observation revealed that the lesions were reversible and migratory.(3)Myo-pathological features:muscle biopsy was performed in all children,and ragged -red fibers were found in 1 0 cases by im-proved Gomori staining,strongly succinate dehydrogenase -reactive were found in 9 cases,and the lipid droplets slight-ly increased in 8 cases by oil red O staining.Besides,the crystalline inclusion bodies in mitochondria were arranged in a parking lotpattern in 9 cases by electromicroscope.(4)Molecular biological characteristics:the mitochondrial gene mutations were analyzed in peripheral blood of 9 children and their parents,including 8 cases with A3243G muta-tion and 1 case with G13513A mutation.Five mothers had the same A3243G mutation site in 8 cases.Conclusions Children with MELAS have complex and varied clinical manifestations and certain characteristic of neuroimaging.More-over,muscle pathology and gene sequencing have important diagnostic value.Fully understanding the clinical,muscle pathology,imaging and molecular biological characteristics of children with MELAS can be helpful to the early diagnosis and treatment,also reduce misdiagnosis.

Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of thyroid hormones T3 on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism.Methods SD rats were divided into four groups:sham+saline group,sham+T3 group,MCAO+saline group,MCAO+T3 group.The cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rat models were established by right middle cerebral artery occlusion.Thyroid hormones(10 μg/100 g)or normal saline were given respectively by intraperitoneal injection twice at 1 h after the onset of ischemia and 6 h after reperfusion.Neurobehavioral score was evaluated at 24 h after reperfusion;TTC staining was used to label infarction area;RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA level of nerve growth factor(NGF)and brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)in brain tissue;Western blot was employed to determine alterations in protein levels of NGF and BDNF.Results Compared with MCAO+saline group,the neurological deficit and the volume of cerebral infarction of MCAO+T3 group was decreased,and the mRNA and protein expression of NGF and BDNF of MCAO+T3 group were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Thyroid Hormones could promote the nerve repair,stimulate the nerve regeneration and improve the nervous behavioral function by up-regulating the expression of NGF and BDNF.
