AIM To investigate actions of total paeony glycoside(TPG) on learning and memory capacity and related products of metabolism of senile mice induced by D galactose. METHODS The subacute senile mouse models induced by injection of D galactose subcutaneously were used. RESULTS TPG could improve the learning and memory capacity of model mice in shuttle test and enhance spatial resolution in water maze test. TPG not only reduced the content of monoamine oxidase(MAO) and inhibited the decrease of cholinesterase(CHE) significantly, but also lessened the level of malondialdehyde(MDA) and inhibited the decrease of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in cerebrum of model mice. TPG still promoted the recovery of lobar atrophy and hypoimmunity of senile mice remarkedly. CONCLUSION TPG possesses obvious effects of improvement on learning, spatial resolution and delaying senility.

?AlM: To investigate the expression of miR-181 in the lens tissue of cataract and the regulating mechanism of miR-181 on apoptosis of human lens epithelial cell.
?METHODS:Real time q-PCR was used to measure the expression of miR-181 in the anterior lens capsules of age - related cataract and human lens epithelial cell apoptosis model. miR- 181 mimic and inhibitor were transfected using Lipofectamine 2 000 to regulate the expression of miR-181, and then Real time q-PCR was used to verify transfection efficiency. Flow cytometry was used to detect the change of cell apoptosis rate.
? RESULTS: Compared with control group, the expression of miR-181 was significantly higher in both the anterior lens capsules of age-related cataract and human lens epithelial cell apoptosis model; the relative expression of miR-181 in lens epithelial cells transfected with miR-181 mimic was increased, whereas decreased in cells transfected with miR-181 inhibitor;the apoptosis rate of cells transfected with miR - 181 mimic was increased, while reduced in miR-181 inhibitor group. Each result was statistically significant (P<0. 01).
?CONCLUSlON:High expression of miR-181 is detected in anterior lens capsule of age-related cataract. miR-181 might play a certain role in the pathogenesis of cataract via promoting human lens epithelial cell apoptosis. miR-181 probably becomes a new approach for the nonoperative treatment of cataract, but the concrete mechanism still needs to be further studied.
