Objective To investigate the influence of epigallocatechin gallate ( EGCG)on reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mouse podocytes exposed to high glucose. Methods Mouse podocytes cultured in high glucose were exposed to different concentrations of EGCG (0.2, 10, 100 μmol/L) or α-tocopherol (0.2 μmol/L) for 6, 12, 24 hours. The viability of podocytes was detected by MTT. The intracellular formation of ROS was detected by confocal microscopy with fluorescent probe CM-H2DCFDA and was measured by fluorescence microscopy. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of p22phox, p47phox and p67phox mRNA in cultured podocytes exposed to different concentrations of EGCG. Results Intracellular ROS generation was significantly higher in high glucose than that in control conditions (P<0.01). EGCG could significantly inhibit ROS induced by high glucose significantly (P<0.01). EGCG (100 μmol/L) led to an inhibition of the increased production of NADPH oxidase components of p22phox and p67phox mRNA in high glucose (P<0.05). The expression of p47phox mRNA in high glucose was inhibited by EGCG(0.2 μmol/L) and ot-tocopherol(0.2 μmol/L) (P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG can protect cultured mouse podocytes from injury of high glucose by inhibiting ROS formation.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint pressure plus long-snake moxibustion for upper-limb spastic hemiplegia after cerebral infarction. Methods: A total of 100 patients were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 50 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with the same conventional internal medicine and rehabilitation training. The control group was treated with additional acupoint pressure therapy, and the observation group was treated with long-snake moxibustion on the basis of the treatment given to the control group. The Ashworth grade, Fugl-Meyer assessment upper limb scale (FMA-UL) and Barthel index (BI) were evaluated, and the root mean square (RMS) values of biceps brachii and flexor carpi radialis on the affected side were measured before and after treatment. The efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the Ashworth grade of the observation group was superior to that of the control group (P<0.05). The scores of FMA-UL and BI in both groups increased compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05), and the scores of FMA-UL and BI in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). The RMS values of biceps brachii and flexor carpi radialis in both groups decreased compared with those before treatment (all P<0.05), and the RMS values of biceps brachii and flexor carpi radialis in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Based on conventional internal medicine and rehabilitation training, acupoint pressure plus long-snake moxibustion has great therapeutic efficacy for upper-limb spastic hemiplegia after cerebral infarction. It can improve the degree of spasticity of the affected upper limb, reduce the muscle tone of biceps brachii and flexor carpi radialis on the affected side, and enhance the mobility of the affected limb and the activities of daily living.

Objective To observe the roles of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 o (HIF-1 α) in hippocampal neurodegeneration of status epilepticus (SE) rats, and explore whether HIF-1α activation is regulated by NF-κB.Methods A total of 110 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into seven groups : (1) Control group treated with saline (control, n =15), (2) sham group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated with saline (sham, n =15), (3) SE group treated with pilocarpine (SE, n =20), (4) NF-κB activity inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) group treated only with PDTC (PDTC, n =15), (5) SE + PDTC group treated with pilocarpine plus PDTC (SE + PDTC, n =15), (6) SE + HIF-1o siRNA group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated with pilocarpine plus HIF-1 α siRNA (SE + HIF-1α siRNA, n =15), (7) SE + control siRNA group implanted cannula into lateral ventricle and treated pilocarpine plus control siRNA (n =15).SE was induced by injecting lithium chloride and pilocarpine.The seizure of rats was observed.The protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1 α in hippocampus of rats were examined by Western blotting.The degenerating neurons in hippocampus were detected by Fluoro-Jade C (FJC) staining.Results Twenty-four hours after termination of SE, the nuclear protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1α in hippocampus of rats were increased in SE group (0.57 × 0.06, 0.47 ± 0.07) compared with those in control group (0.23 ± 0.03, 0.20 ± 0.03;P ＜0.05);and compared with SE group PDTC significantly decreased the nuclear protein expressions of NF-κB and HIF-1 α in SE + PDTC group (0.23 ± 0.03, 0.14 ± 0.03;P ＜ 0.05);in SE + PDTC group the numbers of FJC positive cells in CA1 area (28.33 ±5.03) were decreased compared with that in SE group (76.67 ± 13.32);HIF-1 o siRNA injected into lateral ventricle of rats significantly decreased the expression of HIF-1α in hippocampus (0.22 ±0.03) and the number of FJC positive cell in CA1 area (27.34 ±7.02) in SE + HIF-1α siRNA group compared with those in SE group (0.39 ±0.06, 76.67 ± 13.32;P ＜0.05).Conclusions These data suggest that SE can result in activation of NF-κB/HIF-1o pathway in brain.Inhibition of the pathway can attenuate hippocampal neurodegeneration caused by SE, which has the brain protective effect.

Objective To examine the relationship between the A118G polymorphism of mu-opioid receptor(OPRM1) gene and analgesic effects of oxycodone hydrochloride in patients with severe cancer pain. Methods Fifty-nine patients with severe cancer-induced pain were divided into 3 groups by genotype(AA group,AG group and GG group,23,28,8 patients, respectively). They were orally treated with oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets,and the treatment dosage and adverse reactions(including nausea,vomiting,dizziness,constipation,etc.)were compared between groups. Results The variation of allele frequencies(118G)was 37.3%.The dosage of oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablets used in AA, AG and GG groups was(27.0±14.3),(36.4±22.5)and(55.0±35.1)mg,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant between groups( P = 0. 01). On the part of adverse reactions,the incidence of nausea and vomiting,dizziness, constipation was 28.8%,22.0%,and 52.5%,in AA,AG and GG groups,respectively,and there was no significant difference between groups(P>0.05). Conclusion The analgesic effect of oxycodone hydrochloride is affected by opioid receptor gene polymorphism.Patients with G allelic variation(AG or GG genotype)require larger doses of oxycodone hydrochloride than those with AA genotype.However,adverse reactions are not associated with polymorphism.

[Abstract ] Objective High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is abundantly released in the epileptogenic brain tissue , but few reports are seen about the effect of HMGB 1 on the expression of P-glycoprotein ( P-gp) in the vascular endothelial cells of the epi-leptogenic tissue .This study is to explore whether HMGB 1 can regulate P-gp expression in the brain microvascular endothelial cells of the mouse in vitro . Methods Immortalized brain microvascular endothelial bEnd .3 cells of the mouse were cultured in vitro and al-located to different concentration groups ( treated with culture medium containing 10 , 100 , 500 , and 1000 ng/mL HMGB1 for 8 hours), treatment duration groups (treated with culture medium containing 100 ng/mL HMGB1 for 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 hours), and a control group ( treated with culture medium without HMGB 1 ) .The mRNA expression of P-gp-encoding gene-multidrug resistance gene 1a (mdr1a) was detected by real-time qPCR, and its protein expression determined by Western blot and immunocytochemistry . Results The results of qPCR manifested that the expressions of mdr 1a mRNA were 1.646 ±0.176, 1.777 ±0.135, 1.617 ±0.043, and 1.398 ±0.182 in the 10, 100, 500, and 1000 ng/mL HMGB1 groups, respectively, significantly higher than 1.030 ±0.284 in the control group (P<0.05), and so were those in the 4, 8, 16, 24 h, and 32 h groups (2.655 ±0.112, 2.168 ±0.212, 1.823 ± 0.232, 1.418 ±0.376, and 1.445 ±0.123) than in the control (1.010 ±0.164) (P <0.05).Western blot showed a significant increase in the P-gp protein expression in all the concentration groups (P<0.05) as well as in the 8 h and 16 h treatment duration groups as compared with the control group (P<0.05).Immunocytochemis-try also revealed a higher P-gp expression in the HMGB1-treated than in the control cells (P<0.01). Conclusion HMGB1 can upregu-late the expressions of mdr1a mRNA and P-gp protein in the brain microvascular endothelial cells of the mouse , which may associated with drug resistance of central nervous system diseases , especially that of epilepsy .
