OBJECTIVE To evaluate the protective effect of Agaricus bisporus intracellular polysaccharides(IPS) and exopolysaccharides (EPS) on immunological liver injury induced by concanavalin A (Con A). METHODS Mice were pretreated with IPS and EPS (100, 200 and 400 mg kg- 1, ig) daily for 12 d. Immunological liver injury was induced by Con A 25 mg·kg-1 byinjection via the tail vein of mice.Eight hours after injection of Con A, the indexes of the liver, spleen and thymus, serum level of glutamicpyruvic transaminase (GPT), glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (GOT), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon- γ (IFN- γ), splenic lymphocyte percentages of CD4 + and CD8 + , and liver homogenate content of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Liver pathological changes were observed by HE staining. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the autoimmune liver injury in mice induced by Con A resulted in an increase in the liver index (P<0.01) , spleen index (P<0.01), the activity of GPT (P<0.01) and GOT (P<0.01), the content of TNF- α (P<0.01) and IFN- γ (P< 0.01), and the level of MDA (P<0.01), but a decrease in the thymus index (P<0.01), the percentage of CD4+ (P<0.01) , the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (P<0.01), and SOD activity (P<0.01). Compared with model group, treatment with IPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1) and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg-1 ) respectively resulted in an increase in the thymus index (P<0.01) but in a decrease in the liver index and spleen index (P<0.01). Similarly, the activity of GOT and GPT was decreased obviously (P<0.01), and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ in IPS and EPS 200 and 400 mg·kg-1 groups was decreased. Compared with model group, the activity of SOD in IPS and EPS (200 and 400 mg·kg- 1) group was increased (P<0.01) while MDA was decreased (P<0.01). Moreover, the percentage of CD4 + Iymphocytes decreased (P<0.01), whereas no significant difference was found in the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + .Pathological changes of the liver were observed under a microscope. Pretreatment with IPS and EPS could effectively reduce the liver injury induced by Con A. CONCLUSION IPS and EPS have certain protective effect on immunological liver injury, which may be related to their ability to clean up free radicals, control lipid peroxidation and regulate the balance of the immune system.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of pre-amputation pain block on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor activation in the central nervous system of amputated rats, and the association between pre-amputation pain block and chronic amputation-related pain.
METHODS:
Thirty-six adult male SD rats were randomly assigned to an NA group (n=12), a PA group (n=12) and a PAB group (n=12). Group NA was intraplantarly injected saline l00 μL while group PA and group PAB were intraplantarly injected complete Freund adjuvant (CFA) 100 μL. The sciatic nerve of group NA and group PA were freed from surrounding tissue, and that of group PAB was blocked by bupivacaine under pentobarbital sodium anesthesia 5 days after the injection. Thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) was measured before and after the injection. All rats were amputated at the scheduled survival time. The expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NR2B) was measured by immunohistochemistry in L4-6 of the spinal cord and the anterior cingulated cortex 7 days after the amputation procedure.
RESULTS:
The TWL after intraplantar administration of CFA in group PA and group PAB decreased significantly compared with the baseline value (P<0.05), while the saline treated control group remained unchanged. Besides the basic value, the TWL of group PA was shorter than that of group NA at the above-mentioned time-points (P<0.05). Compared with the basic value and group NA, the TWL of group PAB after the block increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with group NA and group PAB, group PA had a remarkably high expression of NR2B (P<0.05), while there was no difference between group PA and group PAB.
CONCLUSION
Pre-amputation pain may activate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor of the central nervous system, which may lead acute postoperative pain to chronic pain. It is necessary to treat pre-amputation pain.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nimodipine pretreatment on postoperative cognitive function in diabetic rats. Methods One hundred and eighty healthy male Wistar rats, aged 3-4 months, weighing 260-310 g, were divided into 6 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: op-eration group ( O group) , diabetes mellitus group ( DM group) , diabetic cognitive impairment group ( DCI group) , nimodipine plus operation group ( N+O group) , nimodipine plus diabetes mellitus group ( N+DM group) and nimodipine plus diabetic cognitive impairment group ( N+DCI group) . Diabetes mellitus model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 55 mg∕kg. Nimodipine 1 mg∕kg was intraperito-neally injected at 6 weeks after establishing the model in DCI and N+DCI groups and at 2 weeks after estab-lishing the model in DM and N+DM groups, and laparotomy was performed under sevoflurane anesthesia at 30 min after the end of administration. Morris water maze test was performed at 1 day before operation and 3 and 7 days after operation. Then rats were sacrificed, and hippocampal tissues were taken for determination of the apoptotic rate of neurons, cytoplasmic calcium concentrations ( by flow cytometry) and expression of caspase-3 in hippocampus ( by Western blot) . Results Compared with the baseline at 1 day before opera-tion, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was re-duced, the apoptotic rate of hippocampal neurons and cytosolic calcium concentrations were increased, and the expression of caspase-3 was up-regulated at each time point after operation in six groups ( P<0. 05 ) . Compared with group O, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the apoptotic rate of hippocampal neurons and cytosolic calcium concentrations were increased, and the expression of caspase-3 was up-regulated at each time point after operation in DM and DCI groups ( P<0. 05) . The escape latency was significantly shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the apoptotic rate of hippocampal neurons and cytosolic calcium concentrations were decreased, and the expression of caspase-3 was down-regulated at each time point after operation in group N+DM as compared with group DM and in group N+DCI as compared with group DCI ( P<0. 05) . Conclu-sion Nimodipine pretreatment can improve postoperative cognitive function in diabetic rats, and the mech-anism may be related to inhibiting calcium overload-induced apoptosis in neurons.
