Objective To explore the effects of brain derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF) on concentrations of cerebral endogenous opioid peptides(EOP)in neonatal rats subject to with hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI). Methods Seven day old Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a HIBI+BDNF group (group A),a HIBI group (group B) and a sham operation group (group C). Models of HIBI were established by use of permanent ligation of the left common carotid artery followed by 2.5 hours ofinhalation of 8%O 2+92%N 2, then 0.5 ?g BDNF was injected into the parietal cerebral ventricle in group A immediately. Contents of dynorphin A 1 13 like, ? endorphin like and leu enkaphalin like immunoreactivities (ir DynA 1 13 , ir ? EP and ir LEK) in cortex and hippocampus were measured at 0, 60, 120 min after administration of BDNF. Results The concentrations of ir DynA 1 13 and ir ? EP in the cortex and hippocampus in group B were increased significantly than those in group C at most time points( P

AIM To observe the effects of different interval administration of exogenous brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in neonatal rats. METHODS BDNF (0 5 ?g) was microinjected intracerebroventricularly at 0, 1 and 4 h after the hypoxic ischemic encephal opathy in 7 d neonatal Sprague Dawley rats undergone by ligation of left common carotid artery followed by a 2 5 h inhalation of humidified 8% O 2+92% N 2 at 37℃ immediately after the injury, respectively. Changes of brain edema, levels of malondialehyde (MDA) and neuronal apoptosis at the left cortex and hippocampus were investigated 24 h after the injury. RESULTS The most prominent effect of BDNF was seen in 0 h group with a marked decreases in brain edema and levels of MDA and a significantly alleviated neuronal apoptosis while it was lowered obviously when administered at 4 h after the insult. CONCLUSION BDNF exerts a prominent protective effect on hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in neonatal rats when given as early as possible after the injury rather than later administration.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and anticoagulation parameters in patients of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) combined with deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Methods All of 110 AECOPD patients were divided into two groups according to Doppler examination of lower extremities: DVT group and non-DVT group. The risk factors and anticoagulation parameters were compared. Results Twelve cases (10.9%) were in DVT group,of whom 2 cases (1.8%)had pulmonary embolism. The rate of lying in bed > 3 d, smoke, mechanical ventilation, hospital stays and the levels of PaCO2 were significantly higher in DVT group than those in non-DVT group (P < 0.01 or <0.05 ). In DVT group, the activity of antithrombin Ⅲ and the level of protein S decreased (P < 0.05 ), and the level of D-Dimer increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions Long-term bed, smoke and mechanical ventilation requirement are the main risk factors of DVT in patients with AECOPD. Respiratory failure (type Ⅱ ) is easier to combine with DVT. Abnormality of coagulation and fibrinolytic system exists in AECOPD with DVT.

Objective We aimed to use 1H-MRS to characterize metabolite concentrations in the bilateral hippo?campus in GPI patient. Methods Metabolite ratios in the bilateral hippocampus were compared between patients with GPI (n=52) and Normal Control (NC) (n=38). Clinical neurological tests were measured in all subjects and were correlat?ed to the metabolite concentrations. Results The GPI patients showed significantly lower concentrations of N-acetylas?partate(NAA)/creatine(Cr) ratios in the bilateral hippocampus region compared to the NC subjects. There was significant?ly difference in the NAA/Cr ratios between the mild GPI dementia and the severe GPI dementia groups on the left hippo?campus region. We found that the NAA/Cr ratios concentrations were positively correlated with Mini Mental state Exami?nation (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) scores in the left hippocampus region and the mI/Cr ra?tios concentrations were positively correlated. Conclusions GPI Patients have neuronal dysfunction in the bilateral hippo?campus. The severity of cognitive impairments is associated with the severity of the damage in the left side.
