Objective To investigate the receptor involved in the TNF?induced HO-1 expression and the related signal transduction mechanisms in the brain microvessel endothelial cells.Methods TNF? receptor 1(TNFR1)knockout murine brain microvessel endothelial cells(BMVECs)in vitro culture were stimulated respectively by TNF?(5ng/ml).After 24 hours,the level of HO-1 gene mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,the effect of TNF?on JNK 、ERK or transcription factor AP-1 were analyzed by Western blot,while ERK inhibitor(PD98059)or JNK inhibitor(SP600125)were used.Results Exposure of wild-type BMVECs and TNFR1(p55)knockout BMVECs [BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-)] to TNF?(5ng/ml,24 h)caused a marked increase in HO-1 mRNA expression.Furthermore,TNF? stimulation also lead to the activation of JNK,ERK and the transcription factor AP-1 in the BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-),However,incubation with the JNK inhibitor SP600125 but not the ERK inhibitor PD98095 attenuated the TNF?-induction of HO-1 in the BVEC/TNF-RI(-/-).Conclusions TNFR2 and JNK activation but not TNFR1 might be essential for mediating the TNF?-induction of the HO-1 in the endothelial cells.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and value of automatic segmentation of infant brain images based on diffusion tensor image (DTI).Methods A method of segmentation of infant brain based on DTI images was proposed.The method was mainly included two stages:①Extracting the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using the distribution of water;②Extracting the white matter (WM) adopting the anisotropic diffusion of water in neurons,followed by distinguishing the gray matter (GM) component.Results Through the feature selection method designed in this study,the effective DTI feature combination was selected.The first step was to extract CSF with mean diffusity (MD) and the third eigenvalue (L3),and the second step was to extract WM and GM with fractional anisotropy (FA) and the L3.The highest average similarity was obtained by the two steps.The two-step segmentation could be successfully performed in infant brain image segmentation and satisfied with the split effect.Conclusion The automatic segmentation of infant brain based on DTI in this study is reasonable and feasible,and has high segmentation accuracy.
