Objective To investigate the association between apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype polymorphism and cerebral palsy (CP) in Han Chinese children. Methods Two hundred and forty Han Chinese children were selected, including 120 children with cerebral palsy (CP group) and 120 normal children (control group).Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to determine the genotype and alleles of apoE genotype in the two groups. Results The genotype distributions of apoE in the two groups were consistent with the existence of a Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There were significant differences in the distributions of allelic frequency and apoE genotype between the two groups. Carrying the ε4 allele was related to cerebral palsy, and the overall risk for cerebral palsy was elevated about 5.5-fold among children carrying the ε4 allele.Conclusions There is an association between apoE genotype and cerebral palsy, and apoE's ε4 allele is the associated risk factor.

The microRNA (miRNA) is a novel class of small noncoding RNA that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNA.It has been shown to play important roles in a broad range of biological processes,especially in the occurrence,development,invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors.Conventional detection methods,such as Northern blot and realtime PCR have been used to assess endogenous miRNA expression.However,these techniques are invasive and cannot be used repetitively in living animals.Recent remarkable advances of in vivo imaging techniques have provided the capability of noninvasive imaging of miRNA in vivo.The recent progress about the reporter gene,antisense luminescence,nanoparticle and multimodal imaging for visualizing miRNA expression in vivo was reviewed.

BACKGROUND: Nitric oxide synthase(NOS) is the key factor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) . Because NO combines with oxygen, hemoglobin and other substances in vivo easily and deactivates quickly, and it is not exactly determined, so determining the activity of NOS is the important link for further studying the pathogenesis of NO in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)injury.OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of different types of NOS in the process of cerebral I/R injury.DESIGN: Randomized and controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Instituteof Cerebrovascular Disease, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Shandong Key Laboratory of Prevention and Treatment for Encephalopathy from May to December 2005. Twenty-eight adult healthy male Wistar rats, of clean grade, weighing from 220 to 260 g, were provided by the Experimental Animal Center of Shandong University. The involved rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group (n =4) and cerebral ischemia group (n =24). Six time points were set in cerebral ischemia group: ischemia 1 hour reperfusion 6 hours, 12 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and 14 days, 4 rats at each time point.METHODS: Rat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion were established by suture-occluded method through inserting a suture into the left internal-external carotid artery. The expressions of different types of NOS at different time points after cerebral I/R were detected by immunohistochemical technique.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Toluidine blue-stained two groups of nerve cells; ② The expression and distribution of neuronal NOS (nNOS), endothelial NOS (eNOS) and inducible NOS(iNOS) at different time points.RESULTS: ①Karyopyknosis and cell debris appeared in the nerve cells of the injured region of cerebral ischemia group,and there were no significant differences of cells among different time points. ② Six hours after reperfusion, the expressions of nNOS, eNOS and iNOS were found in the neurons of brain tissue and increased with the elongation of time of reperfusion. The regions in which different types of NOS in neurons of brain tissue were expressed were cortical area and corpora striata. nNOS and iNOS were highly expressed within 12 hours to 7 days after reperfusion in the brain, and eNOS was highly expressed within a short time period, i.e. 6 hours to 3 days after reperfusion. eNOS expression increasing and decreasing occurred earlier than nNOS and iNOS. But the expressions of three kinds of NOS all reached peak on the first day after reperfusion. The changing tendencies of the expression of three kinds of NOS in the cortical area and corpora striata were the same basically.CONCLUSION: After cerebral I/R injury, the high expression of eNOS occurs early and lasts for a short time, while that of nNOS and iNOS occurs late and lasts for a long time.
