Objective To evaluate the role of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling pathway in the spinal cord in neuropathic pain (NP) in the rats.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=36 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group) and NP group.Spared nerve injury was produced by exposing the sciatic nerve and its branches and ligation and transection of tibial nerve and common fibular nerve in anesthetized rats.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured before operation and at 1,4,7,14 and 21 days after operation.After measurement of the pain threshold at 1,4,7,14 and 21 days after operation,the animals were then sacrificed,and the lumbar segment (L46) of the spinal cord was obtained for determination of Shh,Patched (Ptch),Gli1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)expression (by Western blot),Shh,Ptch and Gli1 mRNA expression (by fluorescent quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction),and Shh and GFAP expression (by immunohistochemistry).Results Compared with group S,the MWT was significantly decreased,and the expression of Shh,Ptch and Gli1 protein and mRNA and GFAP in spinal cord tissues was up-regulated in group NP (P＜ 0.05).Shh was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm of spinal dorsal horn neurons and in the gap around glial cells.Conclusion Shh signaling pathway in spinal cord is involved in the development and maintenance of NP in the rats.

Objective To investigate the changes of airway resistance before and after Bronchial Diulation Test in patients with senile asthma and the effect of age on the degree of airway resistance. Methods A total of 29 (> 60 years)senile asthma patients and 21 younger(< 60 y)patients were enrolled in the study. The status of their pulmonary function was determined by MEFV(Maximum expiratory flow?volume curve)and an IOS(impulse oscillometry) system before and after Bronchial Diulation Test,The spirometric indexes such as forced vital capacity,total respiratory impedance,respiratory resistance and respiratory system reactance were collected and analyzed. Results Significant decreases of indexs were found after Bronchial Diulation Test compared with those before Bronchial Diulation Test in the study group(P<0.05,respectively). No significant difference in improvement of indexs was found between the group of patients with senile asthma(age > 60 years)and the group of healthy control(age < 60 years ). Each index of the airway resistance has a very good correlation with FEV1%,with the highest degree of relation is X5%. Conclusion The airway resistance of senile asthmatic patients was significantly improved after diuslation test and these indexes IOS would be valuable in evaluating the changes of airway resistance of senile asthma.

BACKGROUND:Induction of osteoblasts differentiating into osteocytes is a hot spot in tissue engineering;however, the regulatory mechanism underlying differentiation has not been ful y elucidated. MicroRNA, as an endogenous smal RNA molecule, can regulate post-transcriptional gene expression by binding to the 3’ nontranslated region of the target gene mRNA, which also has been found to play an important regulatory role in osteocyte differentiation. OBJECTIVE:To study the regulation of miR-155 on osteoblast differentiation and the underlying mechanism. METHODS:The mouse osteoblast cel lines MC3T3-E1 were selected and induced by mouse bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2, 200 ng/mL) and then the miR-155 mRNA expression was determined by quantitative real-time PCR at 1, 3, 7 and 14 days. MC3T3-E1 cel s were divided into control, BMP2, miR-155 and miR-155 inhibitor groups, fol owed by cultured withα-MEM medium, BMP2, miR-155 and miR-155 inhibitor, respectively, for 2 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After induction using BMP2, miR-155 expression was downregulated in a time dependent manner. The staining intensity of alizarin red in the BMP2 group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and mRNA expression were also significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01). The staining intensity of alizarin red, activity of alkaline phosphatase and mRNA expression in the miR-155 group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01), while al above measurements were reversed significantly by miR-155 inhibitor (P<0.05). miR-155 could bind to the 3’ untranslated region of SMAD5 mRNA and significantly downregulated the expressions of SMAD5 protein and mRNA in MC3T3-E1 cel s (P<0.01). These results show that miR-155 can inhibit MC3T3-E1osteogenic differentiation by downregulating SMAD5 expression.

Objective Scutellarin (SCU), a Chinese traditional medicine, has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induced myocardial injury, but it is not yet clear whether SCU acts against vascular endothelial IR injury via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2).The aim of this study was to explore the effect of SCU on hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)-induced injury to human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) and its influence on the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.Methods HCMECs were subjected to normal culture and divided into a normal control, a DMSO, an SCU 1 μmol/L, and an SCU 10 μmol/L group.The model of HR injury was established by exposing the HCMECs to 12-h hypoxia and 12-h reoxygenation after treated with DMSO or SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L for 2 hours.Then, the survival rate of the HCMECs was detected by MTT and trypan blue staining, the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the cells measured, and the expressions of the p-ERK1/2, ERK2 and GAPDH proteins determined by Western blot.Results SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L significantly increased the survival rate of the normally cultured HCMECs ([110.40±2.34] and [122.00±1.25] ％) as compared with that of the normal control (100％) (P<0.05), while HR injury markedly decreased the vitality of the HCMECs ([68.00±4.06] ％) in comparison with that of the blank control (100％) (P<0.05).The survival rate of the HCMECs was remarkably higher in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups than in the HR model group ([90.53±3.67] and [92.04±2.32] ％) (P<0.05), and so was their vitality in the SCU 10 μmol/L group than in the normal control ([96.78±2.01] vs [90.06±1.85] ％, P<0.01), while their survival rate was significantly lower in the HR model than in the blank control ([73.72±4.91] vs [91.83±2.34] ％, P<0.01) and remarkably higher in the SCU 10 μmol/L ([87.59±2.64] ％) than in the HR model group (P<0.05).The MDA concentration in the HCMECs was markedly increased in the HR model and HR+DMSO groups as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but decreased in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups in comparison with the HR model group (P<0.05).The expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein was significantly down-regulated in the HR model group as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but up-regulated in the HR+SCU 10 μmol/L group in comparison with the HR model (P<0.01).Conclusion HR injury reduces the vitality of HCMECs, increases the MDA concentration, and down-regulates the expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein in HCMECs, while SCU acts against ischemia-reperfusion injury to HCMECs by increasing ERK phosphorylation.
