Objective To explore the effect of the interrupted abdominal aorta compression after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (IAAC-CPR)on cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation in a rabbit model of cardiac arrest (CA). Methods According to the random number table,10 New Zealand rabbits of both genders were equally divided into the chest compression-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CC-CPR) group or IAAC-CPR group ,with 5 rabbits in each group. CA model was reproduced by injection of iced-potassium chloride into the jugular vein and obstruction of trachea to produce asphyxia. CA was maintained for 3 minutes before cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CC-CPR was performed with assisted ventilation+chest compression,while IAAC-CPR was performed by the way of assisted ventilation + chest compressions + compressions on abdominal aorta. The hemodynamics and cerebral cortex blood flow were observed during resuscitation. Time of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),24-hour survival rates,and scores of neurological function,and situation of abdominal organs were recorded. Results At 30, 60,90 and 120 seconds after CPR,the cerebral blood flow (CBF,PU value)and mean arterial pressure(MAP, mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)of IAAC-CPR group were significantly higher than those of CC-CPR group(CBF 30 seconds:16.1±6.0 vs. 7.8±2.2,60 seconds:91.6±11.8 vs. 57.3±23.2,90 seconds:259.9±74.9 vs. 163.6± 50.3,120 seconds:301.5 ±60.5 vs. 208.4 ±23.8;MAP 30 seconds:46.4 ±9.4 vs. 31.4 ±8.7,60 seconds:55.8 ± 13.8 vs. 34.0±11.5,90 seconds:61.2±11.5 vs. 38.2±10.1,120 seconds:63.6±11.8 vs. 40.2±10.2,all P<0.05). Compared with CC-CPR group,in IAAC - CPR group,the time necessary for ROSC was obviously shortened (seconds:182.0 ±59.0 vs. 312.6 ±86.6,t=2.787,P=0.024),24-hour nerve function score was significantly lowered(2.4±1.7 vs. 4.6±0.6,t=2.974,P=0.023). The successful recovery rate(80.0%vs. 60.0%,χ2=0.000, P =1.000)and 24-hour survival rate (80.0% vs. 40.0%,χ2=0.417,P =0.519)were significantly increased,but without statistical significance. No liver damage was found at 24 hours after ROSC. Conclusion In the early recovery of CA in rabbit,IAAC-CPR can result in better cerebral blood flow perfusion as compared with CC-CPR,and it significantly reduced damage to the nervous system function without producing abdominal organ damage.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of emodin (EM) in renal interstitial fibrosis of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups,including sham operation group (n=8),UUO operation group (n=8),UUO operation+losartan (LST) group (n=8) and UUO operation+EM group (n=8).The mice in each group were ingested the suspensions by gavage for 14 days after surgery.Mice in UUO+LST and UUO+ EM groups were given 10 mg· kg-1· d-1 LST and 20 mg· kg-1 · d-1 EM,respectively.LST and EM were mixed with 0.5％ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.Mice in sham group and UUO group were given 0.5％ sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.The mice were sacrificed at the 14th day.Interstitial fibrosis was observed by HE,Masson and PAS stain.Real-time PCR was used to detect LC3,Beclin-1 and mTOR mRNA.Protein expressions of TGF-β1,α-SMA,E-cadherin,LC3,Beclin-1,PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blotting.The autophagy was observed with transmission electron microscopy in the renal tissue.Results Compared with sham mice,UUO mice at the 14th day displayed obvious renal fibrosis.Meanwhile,UUO mice had increased expressions of TGF-β1 and α-SMA (all P ＜ 0.01),and decreased expressions of E-cadherin (P ＜ 0.01).Their renal expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were also raised (all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with those in UUO group,in UUO+LST group and UUO+EM group,expressions of autophagy protein LC3 and Beclin-1 were increased (all P ＜ 0.01),and the number of autophagic was increased.Additionally,expressions of TGF-β1 and α-SMA were reduced in UUO+LST group and UUO+EM group (all P ＜ 0.01),while the expression of E-cadherin was increased by emodin treatment (P＜ 0.05).And expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and mTOR were decreased in UUO + LST group and UUO + EM group (all P ＜ 0.05),meanwhile renal tissue fibrosis significantly reduced.Conclusions Emodin can promote autophagy,ameliorate renal interstitial fibrosis and protect renal function through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

To optimize program of bovine somatic nuclear transfer, we used two different enucleation procedures (by Spindle-view system & Hoechst 33342 staining), two different procedures to introduce donor nuclei (by ooplasm microinjection & electrofusion), and three different group electrofusion parameters (group 1: 1.9 kV/cm, 10 micros, two; group 2: 1.5 kV/cm, 25 micros, two; group 3: 0.6 kV/cm, 100 micros, one) to reconstruct bovine cloned embryos. The cleavation rates and blastocyst development rates of cloned embryos were used to assess the efficiency of different operational procedure. Finally, the best combination of operational procedure, that the spindle-viewer system was used for oocytes enucleating, and donor cell was electrofused into ooplasm by electrical pulse (1.9 kV/cm, 10 micros, two) to reconstruct bovine cloned embryos. Then the excellent blastocysts were transferred to fosters for producing cloned cattle 80 high-quality cloned blastocysts were transferred into 33 fosters, two cloned calves were produced. According to the results, the optimized program could be used to produce cloned cattle.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of emodin ( EM) in the expression of related protein for the fibrosis of the transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)-stimulated human renal tubular epithelial (HK-2) cells. Methods: HK-2 cells were randomly divided into the normal control group, TGF-β1-stimulated model control group and emodin ( TGF-β1 +EM) group. The contents of Collage Ⅰ and fibronectin in the culture supernatant were determined by ELISA. After HK-2 cells were stimulated with TGF-β1 for 24 h, the cells were collected for immunofluorescence, Western blot and RT-PCR analysis. RT-PCR was used to detect PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR. The protein expressions of PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR were detected by Western blot. Immunofluorescence was used to detect PI3K. Results: Compared with those in the model control group, the contents of CollageⅠand fibronectin in the supernatant of emod-in group significantly decreased (P<0. 05), the expression of PI3K protein was inhibited, the expression of downstream p-Akt protein decreased, and the downstream mTOR decreased (P<0. 05), the expression levels of PI3K, p-Akt and mTOR mRNA decreased, the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05), and the expression of PI3K decreased. Conclusion: Emodin can alleviate fibrosis of HK-2 cells stimulated by TGF-β1 through the classical Akt/mTOR pathway of autophagy.

OBJECTIVE：To study the imp rovement effects of β-boswellic acid on hippocampal neurons cells injury of rats induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation. METHODS ：The hippocampal neurons cell of rats were divided into normal control group ， model group and β-boswellic acid low-concentration ，medium-concentration and high-concentration groups （1，10，100 μmol/L）. Except for normal control group ，other groups were cultured with relevant medium and given oxygen glucose deprivation to induce oxygen-glucose deprivation induced injury model. MTT assay was adopted to detect cell viability. Chemical colorimetry was used to detect LDH activity in cell culture supernatant. Hoechst-PI staining was used to detect the morphology change of cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect early apoptosis rate of cells. The expression of apoptosis-related protein （Bcl-2，Bax and cleaved caspase-3） were detected by Western blot. RESULTS ：Compared with model group ，the survival rate of cells and protein expression of Bcl- 2 were increased significantly in β-boswellic acid medium-concentration and high-concentration groups （P＜ 0.01），while LDH activity ，early apoptosis rate ，protein expression of cleaved caspase- 3 and Bax were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The densely stained nuclei and fragmentation decreased significantly. CONCLUSIONS ：β-boswellic acid can relieve oxygen-glucose deprivation induced injury of hippocampal neurons cells ，the mechanism of which may be associated with down-regulating the protein expression of cleaved caspase- 3 and Bax and up-regulating the protein expression of Bcl- 2.
