Objective To explore the role of homocysteine(Hcy)on angiogenesis at peri infarct region after focal cere-bral ischemia in rats, to elucidate inhibitory factors of angiogenesis, and to establish a clinic foundation for clinical brain functional recovery. Methods Spragur-Dawley (SD) male rats (n=36) were randomly divided into three groups with 12 rats in each group including Sham Operation (SO) group, Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) group and MCAO+Hcy group. The rats in Sham and MCAO groups were intra-peritoneally injected with 5 mL/(kg·d) saline and rats in MCAO+Hcy group were injected with 2%5 mL/(kg·d) Hey solution from the same route. MCAO was introduced by intraluminal filament meth-od after 7 d Hcy intervention. Rat brains were harvested on the 7th day after MCAO. BrdU(50 mg/kg, as a marker of cell pro-liferation)was intraperitoneally injected three days before the rats were killed. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)was used to measure serum Hcy concentration in rats. Brain infarction size was observed by TTC staining. Immuno-fluorescence staining was used to detect the number of BrdU+/laminin+cells at the thalamus of infarction side. Results Se-rum Hcy concentration significantly higher in MCAO+Hcy group than in SO and MCAO groups(P<0.05). Brain damage increased and the number of BrdU+/laminin+cells decreased in MCAO+Hcy group compared with those of MCAO group (P<0.05). Conclusion Increased Hcy concentration in rats lead to more severe damage of cerebral infarction as well as to inhibit the angiogenesis at surrounding ischemia area.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of left ventricular remodeling on systolic synchronization in patients with severe preeclampsia(SPE) by full-volume imaging technology.Methods:One hundred and nine patients with SPE were randomly selected as SPE group in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from December 2016 to December 2019, which were further divided into systolic synchrony(SS) group ( n=35) and systolic dyssynchrony(SD) group( n=74). And 34 healthy pregnant women during the same period were selected as normal pregnancy(NP) group. The clinical datas were collected. Parameters including left ventricular end diastolic volume(LVEDV), left ventricular end systolic volume(LVESV), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), spherical index(SpI), left ventricular mass index(LVMI) and systolic dyssynchrony index(SDI) were obtained by full-volume imaging technology. The effects of left ventricular remodeling on systolic synchronization in patients with SPE were analyzed by bivariate correlation, multiple linear stepwise regression analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis, respectively. Results:①Bivariate correlation analysis showed that LVEDV, LVESV, SpI and LVMI were positively correlated with SDI( r=0.335, 0.361, 0.635, 0.680; all P<0.01). ②After adjustment for age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, course of hypertension, antihypertensive and antispasmodic treatments, gestational diabetes mellitus, subclinical hypothyroidism, LVEF, multiple linear regression analysis showed that SpI and LVMI were independent predictors of SDI (β=0.228, 0.319; all P<0.01). ③Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that SpI and LVMI were independently correlated with left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony [ OR(95% CI)=1.288(1.039-1.598), 1.102(1.019-1.192); all P<0.05]. Conclusions:Left ventricular remodeling in patients with SPE leads to the decrease of left ventricular systolic synchronization, which can reflect subclinical myocardial dysfunction early. Full volume imaging technology can accurately evaluate left ventricular systolic synchronization in patients with SPE.

To explore the mediating role of psychological resilience to childhood abuse and binge eating. This study assessed the childhood abuse, binge eating and psychological resilience of 3 453 middle school students in Harbin city, Heilongjiang Province. SPSS PROCESS macro program, combined with Bootstrap method, was employed to explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience. The incidence of middle school students experiencing at least one type of abuse in their childhood was 81.3% (2 807/3 453). Childhood abuse, psychological resilience and binge eating were all significantly different in terms of gender, household registration and whether they were only child (all P values<0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between childhood abuse and binge eating. Psychological resilience was negatively associated with childhood abuse and binge eating. Childhood abuse could not only directly predict the binge eating behavior of adolescents, but also could indirectly affect it via psychological resilience.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of hyperglycemia induced by different doses of strepzotozocin (STZ) on the liver, kidneys and eyes in rats.
METHODSFifty SD rats were divided equally into 5 groups to receive intraperitoneal injections with a single dose of STZ (40, 50, or 60 mg/kg), 3 doses of 25 mg/kg STZ (given at the interval of 24 h), or no treatment (blank control). The dynamic change of blood glucose was observed within 72 h after the first injection. Blood glucose was then monitored every 3 days and the general conditions of the rats were recorded. In the 9th week, fasting blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis and the pancreas, kidney, liver, and eye were examined for pathologies.
RESULTSWithin 72 h after STZ injection, blood glucose first slightly increased and then decreased and again increased to maintain a high level. Death occurred in rats receiving injections with 50 and 60 mg/kg STZ on the third day. In the surviving rats in the 4 STZ-injected groups, the success rate of modeling was 70%, 89%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Blood glucose showed an inverse correlation with the body weight of the rats. Cataract was observed in the 10th week in rats injected with 40 mg/kg STZ and in the 8th week in the other groups. In the 9th week, the rats receiving 40 mg/kg STZ showed normal insulin, C-peptide, urea, UA, Cr, ALT, AST, TP, and ALB levels, but the rats in the other groups all showed variations in these biochemical indices, which corresponded to the pathological findings in the pancreas, kidneys, and liver.
CONCLUSIONSThree STZ doses of 25 mg/kg is optimal and efficient for inducing diabetes in rats with stable hyperglycemia. Both fasting and random blood glucose tests contribute to the evaluation of the complications of diabetes. The eyes are the most sensitive to hyperglycemia, followed by the kidneys and then by the liver.

Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-toxin protein Lj-RGD3 of Lampetra japonica shares homologous with a Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), and both RGD-toxin protein and HRG have antiangiogenic activities with different targets. To study the relationship between the function and the structure of Lj-RGD3, we studied the anti-angiogenic characteristics of both Lj-RGD3 and the mutation named Lj-112 of which three RGD motifs of Lj-RGD3 were deleted. We synthesized the gene of Lj-112, constructed it to the plasmid pET23b, and expressed the recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli BL21. Both recombinant proteins with the C-terminal his-tag were 15 kDa soluble proteins. Then we purified rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112 using the His-Bind affinity chromatography. To examine the effect of both proteins on bFGF-induced proliferation of ECV304 cell, we carried out the 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-yl)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assays. For cell migration and invasion assays, we used Transwell containing insert filter and Matrigel to imitate the in vivo environment. To examine whether both proteins were capable of interrupting the angiogenesis in vivo, we used the chick chicken embryonic chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) as an angiogenesis model. We used Integrin-linked kinase1 (ILK1) ELISA method to study functionary mechanisms of rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112. Both rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112 inhibited bFGF-induced proliferation of ECV304 cells in a dose-dependent manner with IC50 at 0.889 micromol/L and 0.160 micromol/L, respectively. The results of migration and invasion assays revealed that both rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112 showed significant inhibition on bFGF induced migration and invasion of ECV304; and rLj-112 was more active than rLj-RGD3. The result of CAM angiogenesis assay demonstrated that both proteins inhibited the angiogenesis in chick CAM, and rLj-112 was more active than rLj-RGD3. ELISA assay of ILK1 showed that both rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112 down-regulated ILK1 expression of ECV304 cell. The fact of rLj-112 was more active than rLj-RGD3 on anti-angiogenesis indicate that rLj-112 was likely with histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), and the factor of sequence homologous between rLj-RGD3 and HRG cannot enhance antiangiogenic activities of rLj-RGD3, the signal pathway of anti-angiogenesis of rLj-RGD3 and rLj-112 are differently.
