Objective:To evaluate the effect of oxiracetam on sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice and the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/serine/threonine protein kinase (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway.Methods:Eighty adult Kunming mice, half male and half female, weighing 35-55 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), sevoflurane group (group S), oxiracetam plus sevoflurane group (group OS), and LY294002 plus oxiracetam plus sevoflurane group (group LOS). Group S inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 6 h. A 2 h before sevoflurane anesthesia, oxiracetam 105 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein in group OS, oxiracetam 105 mg/kg and LY294002 0.3 mg/kg were injected via the tail vein in group LOS, and the equal volume of normal saline was injected in group S. The apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was detected using TUNEL.The expression of PI3K, phosphorylated PI3K (p-PI3K), Akt and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) was determined by Western blot.Cognitive function was assessed using Y-maze at 14 days after the end of anesthesia. Results:Compared with group C, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was significantly increased, the total number of times and the number of errors required for 10 times of correct responses in Y-maze test were increased, and the expression of PI3K, Akt p-PI3K and p-Akt in hippocampal tissues was down-regulated in group S ( P<0.05). Compared with group S, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was significantly decreased, the total number of times and the number of errors required for 10 times of correct responses in Y-maze test were decreased, the expression of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K and p-Akt in hippocampal tissues was up-regulated in group OS ( P<0.05), and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in group LOS ( P>0.05). Compared with group OS, the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons was significantly increased, the total number of times and the number of errors required for 10 times of correct responses in Y-maze test were increased, and the expression of PI3K, Akt, p-PI3K and p-Akt in hippocampal tissues was down-regulated in group LOS ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Oxiracetam can alleviate sevoflurane-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice, and the mechanism may be related to activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting apoptosis in neurons.

Objective To investigate the properties of proliferation and differentiation of neonatal rat retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) in vitro. Methods RPCs were isolated from neonatal SD rats neural retina and cultured in DMEM/F12+N2 with EGF and bFGF (suspension medium )or 10%FBS without EGF and bFGF (differentiation medium). The cells grew as suspended spheres or adherent monolayers, depending on different culture conditions. The neural stem cells or retinal progenitors, neurons, astrocytes, retinal ganglion cells, rod photoreceptors and the proliferating cells were evaluated with immunofluorescence analysis by Nestin or Pax6, Map2, GFAP, Thy-1, Rhodopsin and BrdU antibodies respectively. Results RPCs could propagate and differentiate in suspension or differentiation medium and express the markers of Nestin (92.86%) or Pax6 (86.75%), Map2 (38.54%), GFAP (20.93%), Thy-1 (27.66%) and Rhodopsin(13.33%)in suspension medium; however, Nestin (60.27%), Pax6 (52%), Map2 (34.94%), GFAP (38.17%), Thy-1(30.84%) and Rhodopsin (34.67%) in differentiation medium. 96.4% of the population in the neurospheres was BrdU-positive cells. The cells could spontaneously adherent forming some subspheres and retinal specific cell types. Conclusion Neonatal rat RPCs possess the high degree of proliferation and can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, retinal ganglion cells and rod photoreceptors in vitro. There are different proportions for RPCs to differentiate into specific cell types.

Objective To investigate the effect of comprehensive nursing intervention on the quality of life of patients suffering from hypertension. Methods A total of 120 cases of essential hypertension were evenly randomized into observation group and control group. Both groups received conventional antihypertensive drug and nursing, and additionally, the observation group was given intervention of comprehensive nursing including dietary regulation, exercise training, emotional care and medication instruction. The intervention lasted 3 months. Before and after the intervention, traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM) symptom classifying list and World Health Organization ( WHO) QOL-BRIEF were applied to evaluate the therapeutic effect of the two groups. The changes of blood pressure, clinical manifestation and the quality of life were also compared between the two groups. Results (1) After intervention, the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure were both improved in the two groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.01). (2) After intervention, the scores of TCM symptom scores and QOL-BRIEF total scores were improved in the two groups ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with those before treatment) , and the improvement in the observation group was superior to that in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion TCM comprehensive nursing intervention can effectively relieve hypertension and improve the quality of life of hypertension patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin on lidocaine-induced nerve injury and the role of protein kinase B ( Akt) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1∕2 ( ERK1∕2) signaling pathway in rats. Methods Eighty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-10 weeks, weighing 220-250 g, were di-vided into 8 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group ( group C) , sham operation group (group S), lidocaine group ( group L), dimethyl sulfoxide ( DMSO) group, low-dose curcumin group ( group CL ) , high-dose curcumin group ( group CH ) , curcumin plus ERK inhibitor PD98059 group (group P) and curcumin plus Akt inhibitor MK-2206 group (group M). The model of nerve injury was established by injecting 2% lidocaine 10μl via the catheter in anesthetized rats in the other six groups except for C and S groups. Drugs were injected through a microcatheter for 14 consecutive days starting from 3rd day after IT catheterization as follows: DMSO 10μl, curcumin 100μg∕10μl and curcu-min 500 μg∕10 μl were injected once a day in D, CL and CH groups, respectively; curcumin 500 μg∕10μl was injected once a day, and D9805910μg and MK-220612μg ( in 5μl DMSO) were intraperitoneal-ly injected once a week in P and M groups, respectively. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal threshold ( TWL) on the operated side were measured on 1 day before IT catheterization, before administration on 3rd day after IT catheterization, and on 14th day after adminis-tration. The spinal cord was removed on 1st day after the end of administration for determination of the ex-pression of ERK1∕2, phosphorylated ERK1∕2 (p-ERK1∕2), Akt, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), c-fos, Bcl-2 and Bax ( by Western blot) and expression of ERK1∕2 and Akt mRNA ( by real-time polymerase chain reaction) . Results Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, the TWL was short-ened, the expression of ERK1∕2 protein and mRNA, p-ERK1∕2, c-fos, Akt protein and mRNA, p-Akt and Bcl-2 was down-regulated, and the expression of Bax was up-regulated in group L (P<0. 05). Com-pared with group L, the MWT was significantly increased, and the TWL was prolonged in CL, CH, P and M groups, the expression of p-ERK1∕2, c-fos, p-Akt and Bcl-2 was up-regulated, and the expression of Bax was down-regulated in CL and CH groups, the expression of p-Akt and Bcl-2 was up-regulated, and the expression of Bax was down-regulated in group P , and the the expression of p-ERK1∕2 and c-fos was up-regulated in group M ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group CH, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened in P and M groups, the expression of p-ERK1∕2 and c-fos was down-regulated in group P, and the expression of p-Akt and Bcl-2 was down-regulated, and the expression of Bax was up-reg-ulated in group M ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion Curcumin can reduce lidocaine-induced nerve injury, and the mechanism may be partly related to enhancing the activity of Akt and ERK1∕2 signaling pathway in rats.
