BACKGROUND: Hippocampal formation of brain, a cerebral area related with learning and memory, is closely related to spatial cognitive activity.Peroxidative stress following the onset of cerebral ischemia can induce DNA injury in hippocampal 'area and dentate gyrus, the fall of the ability of DNA plerosis and correspondingly a decline in the function of learning and memory.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of hongjingtian on the expression of nucleic acid of hippocampal area and dentate gyrus, the learning and memory area of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at the Central Laboratory of Armed Police Medical College from April 2002 to April 2004. Totally 60 Wistar male rats were selected and divided randomly into 5 groups Model group: Rats were perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the perfused daily with distilled water of a volume the same as that in medication group.METHODS: Rats in each group were perfused incessantly for 7 days.Modified Pulsinelli-4 vessel blocking method was used to reproduce the rat model of acute complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Rats in sham-operation group were not treated with the operation of burning vertebral artery and clipping common carotid artery. The changes of DNA and RNA expressions in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus were observed with acridine orange staining method after model establishment.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of DNA and RNA in cerebral hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats in each group.RESULTS: All 60 rats entered the final analysis. DNA and RNA in shamoperation group distributed evenly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was strong. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex was illegible and response intensity was obviously weak in model ly, border of fluorescent reflex was legible and response intensity was group was not of obvious difference as compared with that in model group.CONCLUSION: The illegibility of DNA and RNA fluorescent response in operation group is related with the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury. Border of DNA and RNA fluorescent reflex in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus is legihibit the breakage of DNA chain induced by oxidative stress and protect learning and memory function in hippocampal area and dentate gyrus of rats with complete cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

Object This experiment was conducted to study the relationship between CFTR gene expression in the intestinal tissues and secretory diarrhea.Methods Twenty-four Kunming mice were selected, half male and half female, and were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=8 in each group):control group with intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL nor-mal saline, and the experimental group of mice by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) (6 mg/kg· bw). The mental state and intestinal morphology of the mice at 1 h and 8 h after LPS injection were observed to assess whether the secretory diarrhea model was successfully established.The expression of CFTR gene segments of intestine tissue was de-tected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results LPS induced secretory diarrhea.CFTR gene was expressed in the mouse duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon tissues with different expression abundance.It was highest in the colon, but the difference was not significant between intestinal segments.Compared with the control group, LPS up-regulated the tran-scription level of CFTR gene in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and down-regulated the transcription of CFTR gene in the colon.Conclusions The results of our study suggest that the changes of the transcriptional level of CFTR gene are closely related with the diarrhea induced by LPS and the effects in different intestinal segments on the diarrhea is different. The jejunum plays a crucial role and the colon plays a least role in the Cl-secretion.

An untargeted urinary metabonomics method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( UPLC-Q-TOF-MS ) has been established to investigate the mechanism of Schisandra chinensis in treating diabetes and its complications. The urinary biomarkers related to the therapeutic effects of Schisandra chinensis on the diabetes rats were analyzed. In urine, 28 kinds of endogenous metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers, including 13 endogenous metabolites in positive ion mode, 15 endogenous metabolites in negative ion mode, and hippuric acid detected both in positive and negative ion modes. The results revealed that Schisandra chinensis mainly affected the pathways of pentose and glucuronate interconversions, riboflavin metabolism, pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis, arginine and proline metabolism, intestinal bacteria metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and tryptophan metabolism in diabetic rats. Combined with biological analysis of these pathways, the therapeutic mechanism of Schisandra chinensis on diabetes and its complications was verified. Based on the biological function of each pathway, the effect of Schisandra chinensis on diabetic nephropathy is stronger. Moreover, it also has the effects of protecting liver, decreasing fat and antioxidant activity.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory mechanism of PESV on tumor-infiltrating natural killer ( NK) cells in a mice model with H22 orthotopic transplantation tumor .Methods:Suspensions of H22 cells were injected into the lobe of liver on C 57BL/6 mice for establishing liver orthotopic transplantation tumor model ,then the mice were randomly divided into four groups:normal group , control group ,PESV low dose group ( PESV-L ) and PESV high dose group ( PESV-H ) .Mice were either sacrificed for mechanistic studies or survival followed 14 days of therapy.The volume and weight of the tumor were measured .The proportion of infiltrating NK cells was measured by flow cytometry and the expression of NK 1.1(NK) cells was investigated by immunohistochemistry method .The expression of perforin and granzyme B were further investigated by real-time PCR.Results: In contrast to control group , the tumor inhibition rate was 15.38%and 30.77% in PESV-L group and PESV-H group respectively.The survival showed that PESV-H could significantly prolong the survival time of mice ,and life extension rate was 34.06%,(P<0.05).Histological analysis revealed significant pleomorphism of the neoplastic cells and invasive extendion in control group ,while there were more necrosis and less degree of atypia in PESV-L and PESV-H.The level of tumor-infiltrating NK cell was significantly higher in PESV-H than in tumor-bearing control group [(5.91±0.49)%vs.(3.69±0.50)%,P<0.05],and NK cells were infiltrating in peritumoral lesions.The mRNA of perforin and granzyme B in PESV-H were respectively 3.62 and 5.82 times than that of control group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion: These findings suggest that the treatment of PESV might increase the infiltration of natural killer cells in the orthotopic transplantation tumor and contribute to NK cells migration to the tumor , which induct and maintain the activities of natural killer cells against tumor cells by expressing perforin and granzyme B in vivo .
