Objective To investigate the mechanism of preconditioned neuroprotection of cerebellar fastigial nucleus electrical stimulation(FNS) by means of observation of the effect of FNS on the expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia in rats. Methods FNS models in rats were established. Brain tissue containing the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia was removed at 0 h and 1, 3, 7 and 10 d respectively after FNS and 20 ?m coronal sections were obtained with a sliding cryo microtome. Immunocytochemical analysis of PKC? and PKC? in 2 sections from each rat was performed and the average optical density of immunostaining was quantified by computer assisted image analysis system. Sham stimulation rats and cerebral dentate nucleus (DN) stimulation rats were used as the control. Results At 0 h after FNS, no significant changes of the expressions of PKC? and PKC? were found in the contralateral somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia. The expressions of PKC? and PKC? increased significantly at 1 d and decreased at 3 d but were still higher than those in sham stimulation group at 7 d and decreased to the basal level of the control at 10 d. However, the expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the ipsilateral somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia were also elevated at 1 d after FNS but the increase was significantly lower than that in the contralateral ones and reached the basal level at 3 d. There was no change of PKC? and PKC? in sham stimulation group at 1 d after DN stimulation. Conclusion The increased expressions of PKC? and PKC? in the somatosensery cortex and basal ganglia induced by FNS may participate in the preconditioned neuroprotection of FNS.

Objective To investigate the change of plasma cholinesterases (CHEs) in the people with diabetes or fatty liver or overweight , and explore the role of CHE in these diseases .Methods The plasma CHEs in 2834 subjects were detected , and these subjects were divided into five groups , including diabetes , fatty liver , overweight , diabetes with fatty liver , and the normal groups . Results The plasma CHE activities in diabetes group , fatty liver group , overweight group , and diabetes with fatty liver group were all higher than the normal group [(8943 ±1896)U/L, (9716 ±1673)U/L, (8798 ±1710)U/L, (9385 ±1687)U/L vs (8028 ±1621) U/L], and the CHE level in the fatty liver group was highest among five groups .However, the CHE level in diabetes group or fatty liv-er group was not significantly different from that in the diabetes with fatty liver group .The CHE level of the people with components of metabolic syndrome (MS) was significantly higher than that without MS component [(8786 ±1514)U/L, (9141 ±1771)U/L, (9705 ±1628)U/L, (9138 ±1768)U/L, (9530 ±1607)U/L vs (7821 ±1324)U/L]),but the CHE level was not increased gradually with the increased MS component.The plasma CHE had a negative correlation with age ( P =0.00),but it had a positive correlation with triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and body mass index (BMI)( P =0.00).Conclusions The plasma CHE activity was el-evated in diabetes group , fatty liver group , and overweight group , which might be a risk factor in these diseases .Controlling the plas-ma CHE might help to treat the metabolism diseases .

Objective To investigate the effects of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor combined with 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitor docebenone (AA861) on cell proliferation and migration of human colon cancer cell line HT-29. Methods Cultured in vitro of HT-29 cells in high metastatic colon cancer, A A861 and celecoxib on colon cancer cell drugs for 48 h, the cell proliferation was assayed by MTT; the migration of cell was detected by Transwell; immunofluorescence staining of intracellular changes in ICAM-1 protein, RT-PCR detect the gene expression of ICAM-1 and VEGF. Results MTT and Transwell experiments showed that the inhibition on celecoxib and AA861 on colon cancer was dose-dependent and time-dependent. And the inhibition of AA861 and celecoxib 100 μmol/L alone on colon cancer cells proliferation were 43.2 % and 42.8%, and when the two drugs 100 μmol/L combined on colon cancer cells the inhibition was 53.8%, and the difference between alone group and combined group was statistical (P ＜0.001). The inhibition of AA861 and celecoxib 100 μmol/L alone on colon cancer cells migration were 32.0 % and 29.3%, and when the two drugs 100 μ,mol/L combined on colon cancer cells the inhibition is 57.8 %, and the difference of between alone group and combined group was statistical (P ＜0.001). Immunefluorescence staining and RT-PCR results suggested that the two drugs can inhibit ICAM-1 and VEGF protein and gene expression, and when the two drugs combined, a stronger inhibition effect appeared than used alone (P＜0.001). Conclusion Low-dose celecoxib and AA861 combined has a synergistic inhibited effect on colon cancer cells invasion and metastasis, and the mechanism relates with the VEGF and ICAM-1 expression.
