Objective Investigate the expression difference of miRNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to explore new biomarkers for glioma diagnosis and evaluate the diagnostic value .Methods The candidate biomarkers in CSF were detected by using FQ-PCR for 20 cases of glioma patients and 20 cases of non-glioma patients(control group) .miRNAs with significant level changes in CSF sam-ples from patients with gliomas (n=20) compared with healthy volunteers (n=20) were screened out by using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test ,and the diagnostic values were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic curves (ROC curves)and area under the curve(AUC) .Results MiR-128 and miR-21 were differentially expressed in CSF samples from patients with gliomas compared with control group .Expression of miR-21 in glioma is significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0 .05) ,while the expression of miR-128 in gliomas was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0 .05) .AUC was 0 .96 when using only miR-21 as the diagnostic biomarker ,and the sensitivity was 90% ,specificity was 95% .The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 100% when MiR-128 and miR-21 combined .Conclusion miR-128 and miR-21 are potential markers for gliomas diagnosis in the CSF .

Objective To investigate the potential role of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor-6(TRAF6)in the rat cerebral ischema-reperfusion injury.Methods 40 healthy adult SD rats were divided into 5 groups(n=8)according to the ran-dom control principle:sham operation group,ischemia group,reperfusion 2 h group(R2 h),reperfusion 12 h group(R12 h)and reperfusion 24 h group(R24 h).The rat cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model was constructed.The change of TRAF6 expres-sion was examined by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Then,the immunohistochemistry was adopted to locate the TRAF6 protein.Re-sults Compared with the sham group,the expression of TRAF6 in the ischemia group and the R2 h,R12 h and R 24 h groups was obviously increased,but the difference had no statistical significance (P <0.05).TRAF6 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of neuronal cells.Conclusion Activated TRAF6 is involved in the brain cell death induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin on lipid parameters in hemodialysis patients. Methods The trial was double blind, open, controlled and randomized for one year. 35 pre-dialysis patients were divided into two groups: UFH(unfractionated heparin) group(n = 13) and LMWH(low molecular weight heparin ) group(n = 22), UFH or Fragmin according to individual dosage was infused to patients of two groups respectively. The level of serum lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein and activity of lipase were measured at months 0, 6 and 12 of trial. Results Significant increases in serum concentrations of TG, LDL, VLDL, Lp(a) and apo-B were observed, whereas serum concentrations of HDL, apo-Al and activity of plasma LCAT or LDL were decreased in both groups before hemodialysis. As dialysis time went by, in LMWH group, activities of plasma LPL and LCAT elevated; TG concentration decreased; VLDL and LDL were not significantly different compared with that of pre-dialysis, but were statistically different in contrast to UFH group. Conclusion The long-term use of LMWH instead of conventional heparin for anticoagulation during dialysis has beneficial effects on the lipid profile, especially in patients with dyslipidemia.

AIM: Research report that bone marrow stem cells mobilized by recombinan human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) can migrate to lesion spot of infarction, thus decrease brain edema and brain injury after cerebral ischemia. But the report about the effect of drug on brain edema after cerebral hemorrhage is rare. This study investigated the effects of bone mar- row stem cells mobilized by rhG-CSF on reducing formation of brain edema and downregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in the peripheral area after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. METHODS:The experiments were performed at the Central Laboratory of Luzhou Medical College from March to November in 2006. ① 144 healthy male SD rats, (300?20)g, were provided by Animal Department of Luzhou Medical College. The experimental procedures of disposing animals were accorded with ethical standards. ②Experimental rats were assigned randomly into a sham operation group, a ICH group and a treatment group, equally. According to the method of Yang, rat models of ICH were made by the method cutting off tail of rat to obtain autoblood in the ICH and treatment groups. Rats in the sham operation group received saline instead of autoblood. Rats in the treatment group were administered with rhG-CSF (60 ?g/kg) by intrap- eritoneal injection after 1 hour. ③The water contents and MMP-9 were measured in each group by immunohistochemical method. RESULTS:Of 144 rats, 16 rats dropped out, among which 7 rats were estimated as 0 grade and 9 rats died, and all were supple- mented. ①The water contents were higher in the ICH group than in the sham operation group (P

BACKGROUND: Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) can mobilize endothelial progenitor cells and enhance new vessels at cerebral ischemia region. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of rhG-CSF on the new microvascular expressions in rat perihematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized control animal experiment was performed at the Central Laboratory of Luzhou Medical College from March to November 2006. MATERIALS: A total of 72 healthy male Sprague Dawley rats and rhG-CSF were used for this study. METHODS: Seventy-two rats were equally and randomly assigned into the sham operation group, the hemorrhage group, the treatment group. According to rat brain stereotaxic atlas, models of intracerebral hemorrhage were made by infusing autoblood from rat tails. Rats in the sham operation group were infused with saline instead of autoblood. Rats in the treatment group were administered rhG-CSF (60 ?g/kg) by intraperitoneal injection at 1 hour after operation. Rats in the sham operation and hemorrhage groups were left intact. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The microvascular expressions of CD34+ in perihematoma were detected at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, 7 days; Four rats in each time point. Microvascular production was measured by changes in CD34. The more the CD34 antigens, the more the new vessels were. RESULTS: In the hemorrhage group, the microvascular expressions of CD34+ were significantly higher compared to the sham operation group (P 0.05). Significant differences were measured at 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours (P

Objective To study the anti-neuroglioma effect of methyl-mercuric chloride(MMC) by observing the morphological changes of apoptotic neuroglioma cells induced with MMC in rats with brain neuroglioma.Methods The rat models of neuroglioma were established,and divided into two groups.The rats in experimental group were lavaged with MMC 1 week after injected with C6 glioma cells,10 mg?kg-1every day,the rats in control group were treated with sodium chloride at the same dose.24 d after inoculation all rats were sacrificed except natural death,the brain tissues were obtained,and the pathohistological changes were observed under light microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results The macropathological result showed that the tumor volume in experimental group was smaller than that in control group.Under light microscope,in experimental group the growth density of C6 ghioma cells was lower than that in control group,and the apoptotic cells with smaller volume and karyopyknosis were found.The result of transmission electron microscope showed that in experimental group,the glioma cells had some changes such as karyopyknosis,chromoplasm margination,nuclear fragmentation and vacuolar degeneration and so on.Conclusion MMC has inhibitory effect on the proliferation of C6 glioma in rats in vivo,its mechanism may be related to inducing the apoptosis of neuroglioma cells.
