Objectives To find out the effects of estrogen and clomiphene on behavior of epileptic rats induced by kainic acid (KA) and probe into some mechanisms. Methods Ovariectomized Sprague-Dawley female rats were treated with estrogen (E) or estrogen and clomiphene (C). Their behaviors when they were induced seizures were observed and compared. Indirect immunofluorescence method was used to measure the alterations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) immunoreactive cells and ?1 subunits of GABA_A receptors in the hippocampus of all groups. Results The latency and time at reaching 4/5 degrees in KA+E group ((24.63?11.44) minutes and (41.50?16.22) minutes, respectively) were reduced greatly than KA group ((46.75?14.61) minutes and (65.13?12.99) minutes), while the latency of (KA+)E+C group (adding estrogen and clomiphene, (43.50?5.75) minutes) became prolonged significantly than in KA+E group. Conclusion High-level estrogen should be proconvulsant and the clomiphene might have some antiepileptic effects, which may be related with some alterations of GABA energic function in the brain.

Objective To observe the effect of core stability training on the associated reaction of upper limbs in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods From November, 2014 to May, 2016, sixty stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into control group (n=30) and treatment group (n=30). Both groups accepted routine rehabilitation, while the treatment group received core stability training for 20 minutes during exercise. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities (FMA-UE), Fugl-Meyer Assess-ment-Lower Extremities (FMA-LE), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Associated Reaction Rating Scale (ARRS) before and 6 weeks after treatment. Results The scores of FMA-UE, FMA-LE, BBS and ARRS improved significantly in both groups after treatment (t>12.158, P<0.001), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (t>2.317, P<0.05). Conclusion Core stability training can re-lieve the associated reaction of upper limb in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective: In order to further investigate the structural/functional relationship of TRALL. Methods: We did homology modeling for the extracellular segment of TRAIL, which is from R117 to G281, totally 165 aa residues long. The modeling software is Insight II from MSI/Biosym and the modeling work is based on the three dimensional structure of TNF-?. Results: From the modeling result, it can be seen that the modeled structure of TRAIL contains 10 ?-sheets and homologs for all these sheets could be found in TNF-?. This just confirms with the principle that the structurally con-seived regions within molecules of the same structure family should experience relatively small sequence mutations. In addition, the credibility of the modeled structure is checked by the way of inverse folding from Profile-3D. Conclusion: The result shows modeled structure is generally correct.

This study is to investigate the protective effect of astaxanthin against injured hepatocyte L-02 cells induced by sodium azide (NaN3) and reveal the possible mechanisms. Hepatocyte L-02 cells were exposed to 100 mmol.L-1 NaN3 with various concentrations of astaxanthin pre-incubated, then the cell viability was measured by MTT method; The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by DCFH-DA method; The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis ratio were detected by JC-1 method and Annexin V-FITC/PI double stain method, respectively. Results showed that after cells were exposed to 100 mmol.L-1 NaN3 for 3 hours, the cell viability significantly decreased; ROS level and the percentage of late phase apoptosis increased obviously; MMP was also declined. When cells were pretreated with astaxanthin, the cell damage and late phase apoptosis ratio reduced and MMP was maintained. However, the level of ROS showed insignificant decrease (P>0.05). The beneficial concentration of astaxanthin in improving cell viability and MMP was not in a dose dependent manner and the most effective of which was 0.10 nmol.L-1 (P<0.01). In order to reveal its possible non-antioxidant mechanism, mitochondrial membrane was imitated and H+ transferring function of astaxanthin was also detected by bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) method. Results showed that 2.0% astaxanthin could transfer H+ efficiently. These suggested the mechanisms of astaxanthin in protection of hepatocyte L-02 cells not via its ROS quenching capability but via its H+ transferring function, which improved the mitochondrial function and had the sequence biology effects.

Objective To construct lentivirus containing CXCR4 gene and transfect MCF-7 cells , and obtain CXCR4 high-expressing MCF-7 cells. Methods CXCR4 gene was amplified by RT-PCR to construct CXCR4/pSin-EF2, which was transfected into HEK293T cells with psPAX2 and pMD2G vector for lentivirus packing. Packaged lentivirus was used to transfect human breast cancer cells MCF-7, with empty lentivirus as control. CXCR4 mRNA and protein expression levels were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot before and after transfection. And flow cytometry was used to detecte cell surface CXCR4 expression. Results The recombinant plasmid CXCR4/pSin-EF2 was constructed successfully,identified by double digestion and sequencing, and transfected into HEK293T cells to obtain high-titer lentivirus. RT-PCR and Western blot confirmed that the expression of CXCR4 in MCF-7 cells increased significantly after CXCR4 lentivirus transfection. Flow cytometry results showed that the CXCR4 positive rate increased from 26.78% to 99.29%, while there is no significant difference in CXCR4 expression between vector-transfected MCF-7 cells and non-transfected MCF-7 cells. Conclusion CXCR4 lentivirus and the breast cancer cell line with high and stable expression of CXCR4 (MCF-7CXCR4) were successfully constructed.
