Objective To explore the role of RBC[Ca2+]i levels in pathogenesis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonates. Methods Twenty-eight neonates with moderate and severe HIE hospitalizeal from Jun. 2002 to Mar. 2006 were enrolled the study. The neonates with HIE were given routine treatment and Nimodipine for 7~10 days. Blood samples were collected before treatment and at 72 hours,7~10 days after treatment respectively. The levels of RBC [Ca2+]i were measured by Fura-2/AM. Twenty healthy full-term neonates were studied as controls. Results (1) The levels of RBC [Ca2+] i in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE were significantly higher than that in control group at every time points( P<0. 05 ,P<0.01). (2) the levels of RBC[Ca2+]i in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE peaked at 72 hours after treatment,and were still significantly higher than that of control group at 7~10 days after treatment(P<0. 05). (3) In the neonates with HIE,RBC[Ca2+ ]i levels correlated positively with the severity of HIE ( r = 0. 447, P< 0. 05 ). Conclusion RBC [Ca2+ ] i levels are closely associated with pathogenesis of HIE, and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HIE. Evaluating RBC [ Ca2+] i levels in neonate after birth may provide clinical clues for the early diagnosis and prognosis assessment of HIE.

Objective To investigate the effects of Shouwu-Yizhi capsule on learning and memory, and the expressions of presenilin 1(PS1),β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) mRNAs in the hippocampus following cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats. Methods Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly divided into a Shouwu-Yizhi group, a piracetam group, a model group, and a sham operation group with 20 rats in each group. Focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion for 2 hours. Seven days after ischemia reperfusion, the rats in the Shouwu-Yizhi and piracetam groups were administered intragastrically Shouwu-Yizhi solution (52 mg/ml) and piracetam solution (28 mg/ml) for 28 days, both in dose of 1 ml/(100 g?d) for 28 days;and the rats in the model and sham operation groups were given intragastrically equivalent volumes of normal saline. Learning and memory were tested using the Morris water maze, and the expressions of PS1 and APP mRNAs were measured using real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR. Results Water maze test showed that the escape latency (12.98±0.70s vs. 9.43±0.78s) was significantly shorter, and the frequency of crossing platform (5.08±0.39 vs. 7.62±0.43) significantly lower in the model groupthan those in the sham operation group; the escape latency (9.77±0.58s vs. 12.98±0.70s) was significantly shorter and the frequency of crossing platform (7.40±0.44 vs. 5.08±0.39) significantly lower in the Shouwu-Yizhi group than those in the model group(all P<0.01). The expressions of PS1 (0.99±0.01 vs. 1.08± 0.03)and APP (1.06±0.03 vs. 1.12±0.04) mRNAs in the hippocampus in the Shouwu-Yizhi group were significantly decreased than those in the model group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion Shouwu-Yizhi capsule may inhibit the expressions of PS1 and APP mRNAs in the hippocampus, and improve the learning and memory following cerebral ischemia reperfusion in rats.

Studying effects of 50 Hz sinusoidal electromagnetic fields (SEMFs) with different intensities on peak bone mass (PBM) of rats may provide a theoretical basis for application of electromagnetic clinical field. 30 female SD rats, 6 weeks of age, were randomly divided into three groups: the control group, 0.1 mT electromagnetic field group (EMFs) and 0.6 mT EMFs. The EMFs groups were treated for 3 h/day. After 8 weeks, we examined their bone mineral densities (BMD) , measured their bone biomechanical properties, and made serum levels of osteocalcin (OC), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP 5b), and histomorphometry. It was found that the BMD (P < 0.01), maximum mechanical load (P < 0.01) in the 0.1 mT group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and Yield strength (P < 0.05), the analyses of serum bone turnover markers and histomorphometric parameters were better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). However, the 0.6 mT group did not have significantly difference comparing with that in the control group. This study proved that 50 Hz 0.1 mT SEMFs can increased BMD, bone strength, and bone tissue microstructure. Therefore, 50 Hz 0.1 mT SEMFs can improve peak bone mass of rats.
