Objective:To observe the effect of ginsenoside Rd pretreatment on the expressions of N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA)receptor subunit NR2 B protein and endonuclease G(EndoG)in basal ganglia region after cerebral focal ischemia-reperfusion in rats and to investigate possible mechanism of ginsenoside Rd in the treatment of ischemic stroke.Methods:A rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)was induced by intraluminal filament method.The expressions of NR2B and EndoG in basal ganglia region for focal cerebral iSChemia 1 hour,and 1,6,24 and 72 hours reperfusion were detected by immunohistochemical staining and image analysis method.The effects of ginsenoside Rd on the expressions of FaxioG and NR2B and the volume of cerebral infarction were evaluated.Results:The positive expression of NR2B in basal ganglia region on the ischemic side in ischemia-reperfusion group was increased significantly.The expression of EndoG in the nucleus was notable;the positive expressions of NR2B and EndoG at different reperfusion time points in ginsenoside Rd pretreatment group were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the volume of cerebral infarction was reduced significantly(P<0.01).Conclusions:The expressions of NMDA receptor subunit NR2B protein and apoptosis-inducing factor EndoG were increased significantly after cerebral focal ischemia reperfusion;ginsenoside Rd pretreatment may significantly reduce the expressions of NR2B and EndoG.It reduces the volume of cerebral infarction by inhibiting excitatory neurotoxicity and blocking neuronal apoptosis,and thus plays a role in neuroprotection.

AIM: To investigate the effects of a 10-weeks treatment with angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) subtype I receptor antagonist losartan on vascular remodeling of thoracic aorta in male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS: SHR were treated from 16 to 26 weeks of age with losartan at 15 mg/kg?d -1 or 0.75 mg/kg?d -1. RESULTS: Losartan (15 mg/kg?d -1) treatment significantly decreased systolic blood pressure compared with the control group, while losartan (0.75 mg/kg?d -1) had no the effect, losartan(15 mg) prevents the development of aortic hypertrophy by preventing hypertrophy of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In the losartan 0.75 group, these parameters were not changed. But in the losartan 15 and losartan 0.75 groups, the collagen content of the aortic media decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: It is inferred that the effect of Ang Ⅱ on stimulating VSMC growth of the aorta in SHR is dependent on arterial pressure, while the effect on collagen fibers is through pressure independent mechanism.

AIM: To investigate the effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonist on remodeling of renal arterioles in hypertension. METHODS: Eighteen 4 weeks old male rats were divided into three groups: Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) for normotensive group, and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) for hypertensive group, and SHR treated with losartan orally (15 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ). The rats were raised to 16 weeks old. The morphometric parameters of the renal arterioles, and the widths of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and intercellular space were studied on kidney slices by light microscope and electromicroscope respectively, combined with computer-assistant image analysis system. The minimal renal vascular resistance (RVR min ) was studied by isolated kidney perfusion system. RESULTS: The systolic blood pressure of the tail artery, wall thickness, wall area, ratio of wall thickness to inner diameter, width of VSMC of renal arterioles and RVR min were all smaller or lower in losartan group than those of SHR. CONCLUSION: Ang II receptor antagonist losartan can prevent the remodeling of renal arterioles in SHR.

Objective:To study the effects of glutamine on the rehabilitation and the immune function in patients with acute stroke. Methods: The study included 57 patients with cerebral ischemia and 29 patients with brain hemorrhage.Nutritional and immune function parameters were evaluated at admission and after 2 weeks following stroke respectively.Neurological deficit was also evaluated by the Chinese Stroke Scale at admission and after 28 days following stroke.The infective complications were investigated. Results:At the same duration after acute stroke,the extent of neurological deficit recovery was significantly lower in the control group than the glutamine group.The rate of the infective complications was significantly higher and it's duration was significantly longer in the control group than the glutamine group.The degree of nutriture and immune function deteriorating was significantly severer in the control group than the glutamine peptide group. Conclusion:Parenteral glutamine supplements is helpful for the rehabilitation and in preventing deterioration of nutrition status and immune function following acute stroke.

Objective To investigate the effects of aquaporin4 (AQP4) on the brain injury after cerebral ischemic reperfusion and to search the new method that can prevent and cure the injury. Methods Locally injection of naked DNA ( pcNDA3.1/Zeo), which carries AQP4 gene and reporter gene green fluorescent protein(GFP), in the brain was performed 12 h before ischemic challenge to up-regulate the AQP4 expression. The expressed level of AQP4, the infarction size and neurological deficit scores were estimated in three groups. Results (1) Exogenous AQP4 expression in the brain did not affect the healthy rat neurological deficit score; (2) Rat neurological deficit scores were 7.9?0.7, and 7.1?0.9 respectively in 12 h and 24 h after reperfusion in AQP4 injected group, which were lower than that in plasmid control group when both groups were challenged with reperfusion after ischemia; (3) Expression of AQP4 in the brain was higher in AQP4 injected group than plasmid control group and control group in early stage after reperfusion; (4) Expression of exogenous AQP4 in the brain increased the cortex and striatum infarction size 24 h after reperfusion, which were (261.0?18.2) mm 3 and (21.9?1.9) mm 3, respectively, in AQP4 injected group more than plasmid control group. Conclusions (1) Increased local AQP4 expression in brain does not affect neurological function in the healthy rat; (2) Pre-expression of AQP4 increase infarction size and neuro-functional injury; (3) Modification of AQP4 activity and regulation of AQP4 expression level would be the new strategy for the prevention of cerebral edema and the reduction of cerebral injury after stroke.
