AIM To investigate whether pioglitazone can protect cortical neurons from lipopolysaccharides(LPS)-induced neurotoxicity and the mechanisms responsible for this protective effect. METHODS After 7 d cultures,cultured cortical neurons were incubated with LPS 10 mg·L~(-1) for 4-24 h with or without other drugs. In co-incubation experiments, other drugs were added to the neurons 30 min or 1 h prior to incubation with LPS. The cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. The neuronal apoptosis was quantified by scoring the percentage of cells with apoptotic nuclear morphology after Hoechst 33258 staining. The cultured cells were then fixed on the 7th day and immunocytochemically stained with phosphorylated JNK1 antibody. The protein expressions of active caspase 3 and phosphorylated JNK1 were measured by Western blot. Nitric oxide (NO) generation was measured by Griess method. RESULTS The decrease of cell viability and the increase of apoptotic cells in cultured cortical neurons were observed incubated with LPS for 24 h compared with the normal controls. The cell viability of cortical neurons was decreased from (100.0±10.9)% in the normal control group to (72.3±2.1)% in the LPS-treated group and the apoptotic cell percentages were increased from (11.5±4.2)% in the normal control group to (39.5±8.2)% in the LPS group. LPS induced the increases in phospho-JNK1, active caspase 3 expression, and NO generation. Pioglitazone 0.01, 0.1 and 1 μmol·L~(-1), respectively inhibited LPS-induced decrease in cell viability and increase of apoptotic morphology, active caspase 3 expression in cultured neurons. In LPS+pioglitazone 1 μmol·L~(-1) group, cell viability was (97.8±9.7)%, the apoptotic cells percentage was (20.6±5.0)%, NO generation (6.8±1.3)μmol·L~(-1). Furthermore, pioglitazone also inhibited LPS-induced the increase in JNK1 phosphorylation and NO generation. JNK inhibitor SP600125 5 μmol·L~(-1) significantly inhibited LPS-induced neurotoxicity, cell viability was increased from (72.3±2.1)% to (109.8±11.8)%, the apoptotic cells percentage from (39.5±8.2)% decreased to (19.1±4.8)%, NO generation from (21.1±5.0)μmol·L~(-1) decreased to(4.0±1.3)μmol·L~(-1). The PPARγ antagonist GW9662 10 μmol·L~(-1) did not reverse the effects of pioglitazone. In LPS+pioglitazone 1 μmol·L~(-1)+GW9662 10 μmol·L~(-1) group, cell viability was (90.7±6.9)%, the apoptotic cells percentage was (23.4±4.1)%, and NO concentration was (5.8±0.7)μmol·L~(-1). CONCLUSION Pioglitazone protects cortical neurons against LPS insult at least via inhibiting JNK activity and NO generation, but not PPARγ activation.

In order to study the effect of magnetic action on the rabbit tests, we fed the rabbit with magnetized water and embedded the small magnetic disc at "guanyuan point". Five months later, the total sperm number as well as the sperm number per 100 mg in epididymal tail of the experimental group significantly increased than those of the control group. The observation by light microscope and scanning electron microscope showed more increased spermatogone, spermatoblast and sperm in the experimental group than in the control. This study indicates that drinking magnetized water and embedding magnet disc at "guanyuan point" have a spermatogenic effect

Objective:To explore the efficiency of a new scoring system of gastric cancer screening for early gastric cancer in health examination population.Methods:The risk score of gastric cancer was assessed based on the new scoring system in health examination population. A notice for further gastroscopy was sent to the medium-risk and high-risk people. Gastroscopy was performed on those who agreed to undergo the examination.Results:From January to April 2019, a total of 5 357 people in health system visited the Physical Examination Center of Shanghai Songjiang Clinical Medical College of Nanjing Medical University for health examination. Seven hundred and forty people were classified as medium- and high-risk groups by the new screening system, 576 in medium-risk group, and 164 in high-risk group. Among them, 131 cases (17.70%) came for further gastroscopy, of whom 91 (69.47%) were in the medium-risk group and 40 (30.53%) in the high-risk group. After gastroscopy, 4 cases of gastric cancer and 1 case of esophageal cancer were detected, and both were early cancer. In the medium-risk group, 2 cases (2/91, 2.20%) of early gastric cancer and 1 case (1/91, 1.10%) of early esophageal cancer were found. In the high-risk group, 2 cases (2/40, 5.00%)of early gastric cancer were found. The tumor detection rate of high-risk group (5.00%) was higher than that of medium-risk group (3.30%), but there was no significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Risk stratification with the new scoring system of gastric cancer screening can improve the detection rate of early gastric cancer.
