Objective To observe the effects of early exercise on the expression of synaptophysin pro-tein and Nissl bodies in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage( HIBD) , and to investigate possi-ble mechanisms. Methods A total of 35 neonatal Wistar rats aged 7 days were randomly divided into a train-ing group of 13, a control group of 11 and a sham-operation group of 11. HIBD was induced in the rats of the training and control groups, while those in the sham-operation group had the left common carotid artery separa-ted, but without ligation. Seven days after successful modeling, the training group began swimming training for 10 min every day lasting for 14 days, while the other groups were not trained. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of synaptophysin in the affected hippocampus of the brain based on the ratio of the gray band val-ues for synaptophysin and beta. Nissl staining was applied to observe the number of Nissl bodies and the morphol-ogy of the neurons in the hippocampus. Results The average expression of synaptophysin in the sinistrocere-bral hippocampus of the rats in the control group was significantly lower than that in the sham-operation group, but significantly higher than that of the training group. The control group had significantly fewer Nissl bodies than the sham-operation group, but significantly more than the training group. Conclusion Early training can in-crease the expression of synaptophysin and the number of Nissl body in the hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage.

Objective To explore the effect of the exogenous phosphorylation cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element bind-ing protein (pCREB) antibody on the expression of apoptotic regulated genes (Bcl-2 and c-Jun) in hippocampus after status convulsivus (SC), to elucidate the role and regulation mechanism of pCREB in convulsive brain injury. Methods Seizures were induced in 24 adult Wi-star rats with lithium-pilocarpine intraperitoneal injection (SC group), another 24 rats were as the normal controls (NC group). Each group was divided into no injection subgroup, normal saline injection subgroup and anti pCREB subgroup according to the injection contents of lat-eral ventricle, with 8 cases in each group. They were sacrificed 6 hours after injection. Both the protein and mRNA expression of Bcl-2 and c-Jun in bilateral hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization, respectively. Results There was no signifi-cant difference in Bcl-2 protein/mRNA expression among 3 subgroups in the NC group (P>0.05). In the SC group, the expression of Bcl-2 protein/mRNA were lower in the anti pCREB subgroup than in the no injection subgroup and normal saline injection subgroup (P<0.05). There was significant difference in c-Jun protein/mRNA expression among 3 subgroups in both NC group and SC group (P<0.001). The ex-pression of c-Jun protein/mRNA was higher in the normal saline injection subgroup and the anti pCREB subgroup than in the no injection group (P<0.05), especially in the anti pCREB subgroup (P<0.05). Conclusion Exogenous anti-pCREB antibody can down-regulate the ex-pression of Bcl-2 and up-regulate the expression of c-Jun in hippocampal cells after SC.

Objective To investigate the effect of intraperitoneal injection of thalidomide on pain behaviors in a mouse model of bone cancer pain. Methods 36 male C3H/HeJ mice were divided randomly into tumor group (n= 18) and sham group (n= 18) ,six mice from each group were chosen to examine the time course of changes in behavior after tumor cells inoculated to the bone. 2 × 105 osteosarcoma NCTC 2472 cells were implanted into the intramedullary space of the right femurs of mice to induce ongoing bone cancer related pain behaviors. The sham group was inoculated by α-MEM without any cells. On the day before inoculation,the tumor mice were divided randomly into tumor + thalidomide group and tumor + vehicle group. The sham group mice were further divided randomly into sham + thalidomide group and sham + vehicle group. Pain ethology indexes such as paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) were observed on 1 d before inoculation and on 3 d ,5 d ,7 d, 10 d, 14 d after inoculation. Results ( 1 ) At day 7 after the operation, compared with sham mice ( 1. 70 ± 0. 33 ) g, PWMT of tumor mice decreased to ( 1.07 ± 0. 30) g (P < 0. 05 ). At day 10, PWTL shortened to ( 12.60 ± 1.69 ) s (P < 0. 05 ) compared with sham mice ( 17.70 ± 1.54 ) s. And the pain behaviors of tumor mice were aggravated along with the development of cancer pain. (2) At day 7 after the operation, compared with tumor + vehicle group ( 1. 07 ± 0.39 ) g, PWMT of tumor + thalidomide group increased to ( 1. 53 ± 0. 39 ) g (P <0.05). At day 10, PWTL extended to ( 16.48 ± 1.13 ) s compared with sham mice ( 12.64 ± 1. 56) s (P <0. 05 ). Conclusion Intraperitoneal injection of thalidomide can efficiently relieve mechanical hyperalgia and thermal hyperalgia in a mouse model of bone cancer pain.
