Objective To investigate the effect of high concentration hydrogen gas on neurons in the rat hippocampus CA1 region during global cerebral ischemic/reperfusion injury (GCIR) Methods Four-vessel occlusion was used to establish rat model with GCIR injury. One hundred and five healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(SH group, n = 15), model group(4-VO group, n = 45) and treatment group(4-VO+H2 group,n = 45). After 72 h and 9 d reperfusion, hippocampal CA1 region pyramidal neurons in every group were detected with Nissle staining , immunohistochemical neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN), specific protein antibody microglial cells (Iba1) staining and the relationship of position between neurons and microglia was observed through fluorescence double staining. We used Morris water maze to test the space orientation ability and the learning and memory ability in rats after 9 d reperfusion. Results Compared with those of 4-VO group,the neurons of hippocampus CA1 region were closer to normal in 72 h and 9 d in 4-VO+H2 group and neuron form and the number of neuron survival were increased significantly (P < 0.05);immunohistochemical staining showed that the number of neuron survival in 4-VO+H 2 group was obviously higher than that in 4-VO group (P < 0.05) and the number of microglia in 4-VO group was obviously higher than that in 4-VO+H2 group (P < 0.05). Water maze experiment showed that the swimming time in quadrant Ⅳ in 4-VO+H2 group was longer than that in 4-VO group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Inhalation of high concentration hydrogen gas has prominent protective effect on neurons of rat hippocampal CA1 region during reperfusion. The mechanism may be related with inhibiting the microglia excitation and activation during GCIR.

Objective To integrate urine strip chemistry analysis with urine sedimental analysis and set up the criteria for urine microscopy review following automated urine analysis.Methods A total of 1 714 urine samples were collected from Peking Union Medical College Hospital from November 2008 to October 2010.Out of 1 714 samples, 1 300 samples were used for the establishment of review criteria, and 214 samples were used for criteria verification.The other 200 samples from healthy donors were used to set up the normal reference range of fully automated urine sedimental analyzer UF-1000i.RBC,WBC,PRO and CAST in all the samples were measured by Siemens Bayer Clinitek 500 urine strip chemistry analyzer, Sysmex UF-1000i urine sedimental analyzer and microscopic examination.Based on the different laboratory automation in urine analysis, four microscopic review protocols were defined: (1) Protocol 1: based on chemistry results only, microscopy review was performed when any of WBC, RBC and PRO was positive; (2) Protocol 2: based on fully automated sedimental analyzer only,microscopy review was performed when any of WBC, RBC and CAST was over the upper limit of the reference range; (3) Protocol 3: All the results of urine chemistry analyzer and sedimental analyzer were integrated.If two WBC results were different between two systems (in one system WBC was positive or over the upper limit of the reference range but in another system WBC was negative or within the reference range), and any of RBC, PRO/CAST was positive or over the upper limit, microscopic review was performed; (4) Protocol 4: if any of WBC, RBC, PRO/CAST was different between two systems, microscopic review was performed.Review criteria were performed with Sysmex Laboman UriAccess 3.0 software.Results The reference ranges of UF-1000i parameters were RBC 0-7.5/μl (male), 0-15.9/μl (female); WBC 0-11.6/μl (male), 0-12.7/μl (female); Epithelial cell were 0-6.5/μl (male), 0-21.4/μl (female); CAST 0-1.3/μl.The results of microscopic examination revealed that positive samples were 47.46% (617/1 300) and negative samples were 52.54% (683/1 300). Among positive samples, majority showed the presence of RBC (60.13%,371/617), followed by CAST (8.43%,52/617).The false negative rates of four protocols were 8.38% (109/1 300), 4.69% (61/1 300), 0.62% (8/1 300) and 0.54% (7/1 300), respectively.The review rates were 47.85% (622/1 300), 59.38% (772/1 300), 72.85% (947/1 300) and 52.23% (679/1 300), respectively.Although there were false negative cases in protocol 4, all the patients had normal serum creatine level.In those 214 patients for verification, the false negative rate using protocol 4 was zero, the review rates were 53.74% (115/214).Conclusions Protocol 4 shows lest false negative rate and lower review rate.Importantly, there was no patients with serious renal function abnormality missed using protocol 4.Therefore, protocol 4 is an ideal criteria for microscopy review following automated urine analysis.

Objective To evaluate the role of phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway in hydrogen-induced inhibition of cell apoptosis during myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Forty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 300-350 g,were randomly allocated into 4 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,hydrogen group (group H),and hydrogen + LY294002 group (group HL).Myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.In H and HL groups,99.6 ％ hydrogen 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally immediately after beginning of reperfusion,and in addition LY294002 (0.3 mg/kg) was injected through the caudal vein before hydrogen injection in group HL.Arterial blood samples were collected at the end of 120 min reperfusion for determination of serum creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities.The rats were then sacrificed.Myocardial apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.The expression of Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 was detected by immuno-histochemistry.Bcl-2/Bax ratio was calculated.Results The serum CK-MB and LDH activities and AI were significantly increased,the expression of myocardial Bcl-2,Bax and caspase-3 was upregulated,and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased in group I/R as compared with group S.Compared with group I/R,the serum CK-MB and LDH activities and AI were significantly decreased,the expression of myocardial Bcl2 was up-regulated,while the expression of myocardial Bax and caspase-3 was down-regulated,and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was increased in group H,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group HL.The serum CK-MB and LDH activities and AI were significantly increased,the expression of myocardial Bcl-2 was down-regulated,while the expression of myocardial Bax and caspase-3 was up-regulated,and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was decreased in group HL as compared with group H.Conclusion Hydrogen can activate the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and further up-regulates Bcl-2 expression and down-regulates Bax and Caspase-3 expression,thus inhibiting cell apoptosis during myocardial I/R in rats.

Objective To evaluate the role of spinal c?Jun N?terminal kinase ( JNK ) signaling pathway in incisional pain in rats. Methods Sixty?three adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=21 each) using a random number table: incisional pain group ( IP group) , dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) group, and JNK inhibitor SP600125 group ( SP group) . A 1?cm longitudinal incision was made through skin, fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the hindpaw in anesthetized rats. In group DMSO, 10% DMSO 10 μl was injected intrathecally at 30 min before surgery. In group SP, SP600125 25 μg (in 10 μl of 10% DMSO) was injected intrathecally at 30 min before sur?gery. Six rats in each group were sacrificed, and the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency ( TWL) were measured at 24 h before establishment of the model and 2, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after establishment of the model. After measurement of the pain threshold at 24 h before establishment of the model and 6, 24, 48 and 72 h after establishment of the model, the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of phosphorylated JNK ( p?JNK) by im?munofluorescence. Results The MWT was significantly lower, the TWL was shorter, and the expression of p?JNK was lower at each time point after establishment of the model than at 24 h before establishment of the model in group IP (P<0?05). Compared with group IP, the MWT was significantly increased, the TWL was prolonged, and the expression of p?JNK was down?regulated at each time point after establishment of the model in group SP ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned a?bove in group DMSO ( P>0?05) . Conclusion Spinal JNK signaling pathway is involved in the develop?ment and maintenance of incisional pain in rats.
