Objective To explore the protective effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on cultured rat cortical neurons against glutamate (Glu)-induced injury and its mechanism. Methods Cortical neurons were primarily cultured from 1-day-old newborn Sprague-Dawley rats and then cultured for 7 d. The cortical neurons were divided randomly into 3 groups: control group,Glu group and BDNF group after identified with neuron-specific enolase (NSE) immunostaining. The cells of BDNF were treated with 50 ng/ml BDNF on day 6 for 24 h followed by cultured with 50 ?mol/L Glu for 0.5 h. While,the cells of Glu group were cultured with 50 ?mol/L Glu for 0.5 h on day 7. The control cells received no such treatments. On day 8,cell viability were determined by the colorimetric MTT assay. The morphological features of the neuron cells were observed under AO/EB fluorescence microscopy. Expressions of p75NTR,JNK and ERK were observed using Western blot analysis. Results On day 8,the primary cortical neurons grew well. BDNF protected cortical neural cells from Glu injury. Cell viability of BDNF group was (1.14?0.06),significantly higher than that of Glu group (0.72?0.10,P

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) is a common malignant tumor of the extrahepatic bile duct and has the features of special anatomical location, tumor growth along the bile duct, high degree of malignancy, and easy involvement of liver parenchyma. At present, the treatment methods for HCCA include surgical resection, non-surgical biliary drainage, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and photodynamic therapy, but surgical resection is still the preferred method. There are still controversies over the need for preoperative biliary drainage, portal vein thrombosis, and extent of surgical resection. This article elaborates on the research advances in the clinical typing of HCCA, preoperative examination and diagnosis, and treatment methods.
