Microglia are the principal immune effectors in brain and participate in a series ofneurodegenerative diseases. The microglial shapes are highly plastic. The morphology is closely related with their activation status and biological functions. Cerebral ischemia could induce microglial activation, and microglial activation is subjected to precise regulation. Microglia could play either protective or neurotoxic roles in cerebral ischemia. Therefore, regulating the expression of receptors or protein molecules on microglia, inhibiting the excessive activation of microglia and production of pro-inflammatory factors, promoting the release of neuroprotective substances might be beneficial to the treatment of cerebral ischemia. The study about relationship between microglia and cerebral ischemia will shed a light on the treatment of cerebral ischemia. This paper is a review of microglial activation and regulation during cerebral ischemia as well as related therapeutic methods.

Objective:To explore the association between dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DβH), norepinephrine transporter (NET) gene polymorphisms and panic disorder(PD).Methods:The structured clinical interview for the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders fourth edition (DSM-Ⅳ) axis Ⅰ disorders was administered by trained clinical psychiatrist, 139 patients with PD(PD group) and 196 healthy controls(control group) were enrolled in the study.Single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) genotyping was performed using an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction technique.SPSS 16.0 and PLINK softwares were used to compare the allele frequency and genotype distribution.Results:(1)Compared with control group, PD group carried more G allele(76.3% vs 68.4%) and fewer A allele(23.7% vs 31.6%) in NET rs5569, and the difference was significant(χ 2=4.986, OR=0.67, 95% CI: 0.47-0.95, P<0.05). However, the correlation was no longer significant after adjusting for Bonferroni’s multiple testing( P>0.05). (2)The additive model of NET rs5569 showed a association with PD ( OR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.96, P<0.05). And the recessive model of DβH rs1611114 showed a association with PD( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.18-0.96, P<0.05). However, these correlations were no longer significant after adjusting for Bonferroni's multiple testing( P>0.05). (3)No matter allele or genotype, there were no significant differences in DβH (rs129882, rs1611114, rs1611115) and NET (rs2242446, rs28386840) gene polymorphisms between panic disorder group and control group(all P>0.05). Conclusion:The present study indicates that there is no significant association of DβH and NET gene polymorphisms with PD.
