ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Shen-wu capsule on learning and memory ability and its mechanism in APP transgenic mice. MethodsThe APP 695V717I transgenic mice were randomly divided into model group, Shen-wu low dose group (0.4g/kg·d) and high dose group (1.2g/kg·d). Normal control adopted the same age and background C57BL/6J mice. The animals were administered intragastrically by the drug or water from 4 month old to 10 month old. Morris water maze and object recognition test were performed to measure the learning and memory ability. The content of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the brain cortex homogenate was detected with RIA,and amyloid plaques were measured with Congo red staining. ResultsIn the Morris water maze test, swimming time and swimming distance of model group were prolonged distinctly(P<0.01). Shen-wu high dose group obviously shortened swimming time(P<0.05). In the object recognition test, the relative time to the new objection in model group was obviously shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05). The relative time to the new objection for Shen-wu high dose group was obviously longer than the model group(P<0.05). The content of soluble Aβ in model group was higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). Shen-wu group decreased the soluble Aβ distinctly(P<0.01). The amyloid plaques were increased in the brain of model mice(P<0.01). Each group of Shen-wu decreased amyloid plaques significantly(P<0.01).ConclusionShen-wu Capsule ameliorated the learning and memory function disorder and decreased Aβ formation in the brain of APP transgenic model mice.

Glioma is the most common form of brain cancer. Despite recent advances in the treatment of solid tumors, there are few effective treatments for malignant gliomas due to its infiltrative nature. It has important significance to improve the treatment of glioma through in-depth understanding the intracerebral metabolic characteristics and pharmacokinetics of chemotherapeutics. Brain microdialysis (B-MD), an effective method to monitor central nervous system anticancer drug disposition, conditions of drugs through the blood-brain barrier, basic pathophysiologic metabolism, bioactive compounds and the changes of neurotransmitter in brain, provides the unique opportunity to allow the simultaneous determination of unbound concentrations of drugs in several tissues, and directly measure gliomas biochemistry continuously. B-MD has been able to monitor the change of brain drugs, metabolites and neurotransmitters, dynamic analysis of the drug concentration and pharmacological effect after administration, pharmacodynamic interaction between drugs, receptor mechanism of drug transport, as well as feedback information of internal environment. B-MD is expected to provide reference for clinical individual chemotherapy of glioma, but also provide powerful tools for the evaluation of new anticancer drugs in vivo. In this review, a comprehensive overview of B-MD for studies on glioma is elucidated with special emphasis on its application to neurochemistry and pharmacokinetic studies.

Objective To study the effects of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in delayed encephalopathy in rats after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight rats were randomly divided into three groups: forty-eight rats in the blank control group (BC group), sixty rats in the air control group (AC group) as well as in the carbon monoxide poisoning group (CO group). The DEACMP model was established by improved intraperitoneal injections. The animals were valuated at 1st ,3rd, 7th, 14th, 21th, 28th day after acute carbon monoxide poisoning. Tunnel method was used to test the pyramidal cell apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 area. The expression of Nrf2 was tested by immunohistochemical method and Western Blot method. Result In the CO group, the apoptosis index (AI) started to increase from first day and achieved it's peak at the 7th day (20.20 ± 1.78), then began to decrease slowly. The apoptosis index was still higher than that in the other groups at 28th day. And the apoptosis index of the CO group was markedly higher than the other two groups at each time point. The Nrf2 protein started to increase from 1st day in the CO group , reached its peak at 3rd day (8.20 ± 1.08), reduced later, maintained at a high level at 28th day, and expressed significantly higher than other groups at each time point. Conclusions The Nrf2 has a linear correlation with apoptosis , and plays a dual role in DEACMP because it rapidly increased in first three days to against apoptosis. But it continuously has been excessive expressed from 7th to 28th day in promoting the apoptosis of hippocampus pyramidal cells and may be a positive factor in DEACMP.
