BACKGROUND:Restoration of neurological functions after the damaged peripheral nerve is reconstructed is a hot topic in existing research. Within a short term fol owing peripheral nerve injury, nerve and muscle begin to develop irreversible degeneration. Restoration of the damaged nerve requires delayed degeneration and basic microenvironment. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of cardiotrophin-1 on PC12 cells and Schwann cells. METHODS:Schwann cells and PC12 cells were obtained and cultured in complete medium, serum-free medium and 50 ℃ medium, respectively. cells in cardiotrophin-1 group were treated with exogenous cardiotrophin-1 solvent, while those in the control group were treated with equivalent Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium, for 24 hours. The survival rate for PC12 cells and Schwann cells was determined using cellCounting Kit-8 colorimetric method. The lactate dehydrogenase activity in supernatant was detected by lactate dehydrogenase kit, and the malondialdehyde content and superoxide dismutase activity were measured by thiobarbituricaicd and xanthine oxidese method respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival rate of PC12 cells and Schwann cells in cardiotrophin-1 group was obviously increased, lactate dehydrogenase releasing and malondialdehyde content were obviously decreased, superoxide dismutase activity was dramatical y improved compared with control group. Exogenous cardiotrophin-1 reduces the injury caused by ischemia and heat stress stimulation for PC12 cells and Schwann cells. The mechanism of protection may be related to the expression of anti-apoptosis protein activated by the combination of cardiotrophin-1 and its receptors.

Tongue diagnosis is an important method of TCM diagnosis and treatment.Tongue is the key link of auxiliary diagnosis of tongue feature extraction and processing,and also is the bottleneck of intelligent tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.Using image processing,artificial intelligence technology to the tongue as a quantitative and identify characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine,looking for both conforms to the original thinking of TCM,and TCM tongue diagnosis method of accurately,has become a common concern of traditional Chinese medicine and computer field.From the mobile terminal tongue as auxiliary diagnostic system of traditional Chinese medicine tongue acquisition basic attribute,tongue diagnosis and image information building,tongue like features are required for accurate extraction and so on related key technology is analyzed,and build overall architecture,so as to provide technical reference for the tongue like intelligent diagnosis,promote the development of technology of tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine modernization.
