Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(24):2123-2127
OBJECTIVE: To observe the mouse nerve growth factor on early intervention in rats with acute carbon monoxide intoxication delayed encephalopathy control effects, and preliminarily discuss the pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy. METHODS: Ninety-two weight only 180-230 g, male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n=40), and a healthy control group (n=12), namely the CO poisoning group (COP) of the group; mouse nerve growth factor (NGF plays group); healthy controls (NC group). Experimental group was according to 150 mL·kg-1 intraperitoneal injections of CO in the preparation of animal model of acute carbon monoxide poisoning, in the control group rats were injected with equal volume of air. NGF group rats were injected within 30 min after poisoning muscle injection of mouse nerve growth factor, once a day, every time 18 μg·kg-1, total 7 days; Control group and the COP were given intramuscular isodose physiological saline. NGF group rats were treated with 18 μg·kg-1·d-1 NGF (total 7 times); NC group and COP group treated with the same dose saline. 90 min, 7 day, 14 day and 21 day groups of rats serum myelin basic protein (MBP) levels were monitored. The routine preparation of brain tissue frozen pathology slice, line HE and MBP immunohistochemical staining. Animal intelligence is assessed by Morris water maze experiment, in the 120 s in rats to determine correctly through the platform number less than 3 times DEACMP. RESULTS: All rats showed typical toxic after CO poisoning. Experimental group rats died 29, including COP death cases in the group, the model NGF group of 15, 14, mortality rates were 37.50%, 35.00% respectively. Morris water maze experiment results showed that the COP in the group 8 rats were judged to be delayed encephalopathy; model NGF group has 5 only be judged to be delayed encephalopathy; COP group rats serum MBP content increased significantly, model NGF group close to normal.Differences were obvious in poisoning after 7 days, 14 days.Pathological examination showed the COP group delayed encephalopathy rats in poisoning 90 min-21 d in hippocampus, subcortical neurons damage, such as myelin basic protein depigmentation pathological changes.The above pathological changes can be observed in each group, the COP group rats lesion severity is heavy, model NGF group was lighter. CONCLUSION: Mouse nerve growth factor can significantly reduce the incidence of delayed encephalopathy in rats, but can't reduce the mortality. Myelin basic protein (MBP) in the pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy may play an important role.

Glucose was transported by the large number of hexose transporters in yeast cells. There were 18 hexose transporter genes had been identified in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However,as an excellent expression system,there was no information of these genes had been reported in Pichia pastoris. Based on high homologous recombination efficiency in yeast,we chose G418 resistance for screening,200 bp were cloned from the up and down sequences of HXT1 ORF respectively,then ligated to the 5′ and 3′ end of G418 resis-tance gene for recombination. After electroporation of GS115 spheroplast and screened through different G418 concentration plates,finally we obtained one HXT1 gene deletion mutant named GS115?HXT1. The growth rate and glucose consumption of this mutant were both lower than the wide type.

Objective To learn the present status of defluoridation water improvement project in Shanxi province in order to provide scientific basis for speeding up the prevention and control of endemic fluorosis.Methods According to "The National Technical Scheme for Endemic Disease Control" from 2005 to 2009, the investigation points were selected in the counties that implemented the measures of water improvement and defluoridation,the status of drinking water defluoridation Project was investigated, and the water fluoride levels were determined by fluoride selective ion electrode. Results The primary status was surveyed in 1658 water improvement and defluoridation projects in 51 counties. The resource of drinking water for water improvement and defluoridation projects was mostly ground water[accounting for 93.12% (1544/1658)]. Among 1658 water improvement and defluoridation projects 1405 projects worked well(accounting for 84.74%) and 190 projects intermittently worked (accounting for 11.46%). Sixty three projects abandoned (accounting for 3.80%), in Datong basin the abandoned projects accounted for 36.36% (12/33). Water fluoride content of 1595 water improvement and defluoridation projects had been determined, among them water fluoride content of 874 projects were above 1.0 mg/L (accounting for 54.80%). The situations of exceeded national standard in the five basins was different(H = 33.22,P < 0.01). The rate of over national standard of fluoride levels in drinking water was 88.37%(38/43) in Datong basin. Therefore, in Datong basin water improvement should be strengthened. Conclusions In Shanxi province the water improvement and defluoridation projects are basically running normally. However, the qualified rate is lower for the water improvement and defluoridation projects. The water improvement status varies dramatically among areas.The situation is still grim in Shanxi province. Water improvement and defluoridation needs to be strengthened to improve the effect of prevention and control of the disease.
