AIM: To study the effects of different dose proportioning the danggui-shaoyao powder (DS) on learning and memory and the content of NO in brain in mice. METHODS: The ability of learning and memory was measured by the step-through task and the water maze task. The content of NO in brain was determined referring to the reagent manual. RESULTS: All different dose proportion of DS promoted the memory of normal mice. And only DS 1 (1 5.4) and DS 3 (1 1.34) obviously improved the scopolamine-induced mice passive avoidance handicap, prolonged the latency, and decreased number of errors. DS 3(1 1.34) obviously improved reserpine-induced mice spatial orientation handicap and prolonged the latency; others had no remarkable effect on spatial orientation handicap of mice. And all different dose proportions of DS could reduce the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance disruption mice induced by scopolamine. CONCLUSION: DS 3 (1 1.34) improves passive avoidance handicap and spatial orientation handicap of mice, and reduced the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance handicap mice induced by scopolamine. The effect of DS 3(1 1.34) is the best on benefiting memory.

Background and purpose: High expression of telomerase and telomere stability are two common features in tumor cell. hTERT is a catalytic subunit of telomerase, TRF2 is extremely important to maintain the length and stability of telomerase. This study was to construct the recombinant adenovirus mediated shRNA to hTERT and TRF2, and to investigate the inhibitory effects of the vector by solo-inhibiting and connect-inhibiting in the MCF-7 cells, in order to present a new approach to the gene therapy for breast cancer. Methods: rAd-hTERT and rAd-TRF2 were constructed and the expression of hTERT mRNA and TRF2 mRNA were tested by FQ-PCR 48 hours after transfecting in MCF-7 cells. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry 1 to 6 days after transfection. Results: ①At 48 hours after transfection, the results of FQ-PCR showed that compared to PBS group, the expression of hTERT in rAd-hTERT group was obviously decreased and the inhibition ratio was about 86%, but TRF2 had not been obviously inhibited (P>0.05);the expression of TRF2 in rAd-TRF2 group was obviously decreased and the inhibition ratio was about 80%, but hTERT had not been obviously inhibited (P>0.05);in rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group, the inhibition ratio of hTERT and TRF2 were about 88% and 85%. Comparing rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group with rAd-hTERT group and rAd-TRF2 group, there were no significant differences of inhibition ratio between hTERT gene and TRF2 gene(P>0.05). Otherwise, comparing rAd-HK group, rAd-blank group with PBS group, there were no significant differences of inhibition ratio between hTERT gene and TRF2 gene(P>0.05). ②The result of flow cytometry showed that apoptosis was induced at the first day after transfecting in rAd-hTERT group and rAd-TRF2 group, the most obvious apoptosis was in the 3rd to 5th days,at the peak in the 5th day, and decreased in the 6th day after transfection. The apoptosis ratio of rAd-hTERT group was 46.2%, rAd-TRF2 group was 43.5%. The apoptosis ratio of rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group was 46.2% at first day, 68.5% at the second day, the most obvious apoptosis was in the 3rd to 6th days and was 77.6% in the 6th days in rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group. There were significant differences in apoptosis ratio in solo-inhibiting and connect-inhibiting(P<0.05). In addition, comparing rAd-HK group, rAd-blank group with PBS group, there were no significant differences in apoptosis ratio(P>0.05). Conclusion: ①Target sequence of RNAi which aimed at hTERT gene and TRF2 gene was designed efficiently, and the RNAi expression vectors were seen in vivo study efficiently and specifically inhibited the correspond gene expression and promoted cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. ②rAd-hTERT vector and rAd-TRF2 vector have no synergistical effect and antagoinstical effect on inhibiting hTERT gene and TRF2 gene mRNA expressing in MCF-7, but there was synergistical effect in terms of the induction of apoptosis. So association-RNAi-technique targeting to the genes of telomere length and stability can effectively promote tumor cell into apoptosis and inhibit breast cancer cell growth. RNAi technique of connecting correlation genes is a more effective gene therapy strategy.

Objective To explore the application of diffusion tensor imaging in the assessment of ischemic muscle in hind-limb ischemia model of rabbit. Methods Excision of femoral artery in unilateral hind limb was done in 14 New Zealand white rabbits and ischemic model were established in 12 rabbits. Three (12 rabbits),10(10 rabbits) ,28(7 rabbits),56(5 rabbits) days after the model establishment, DTI scan was performed on bilateral hind limbs in each of the models, respectively and, λ_1,λ_2,λ_3, ADC and FA values were measured. Histological analysis was also performed at these time points. Pared t test was used to compare the differences of these indexes in bilateral hind limbs. Results Following femoral artery excision, a rapid ascending of ADC,λ_2,λ_3 values with sharply reduced FA value was observed in ligated hind-limb, which reached maximal on 3 days post-excision (ADC_(ligated)= 1.72±0.16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.53±0.16, t = 6.48, P < 0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated)= 1.70±0.15, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.51±0.06, t=10.87, P < 0.01 ; λ_(3 ligated_ =1.17±0.12, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.88±0.12, t=6.67, P < 0.01 ; FA_(ligated)= 0.24±0.04, FA_(unligated) =0.39±0.03, t = -10.61 ,P <0.01) and histologic analysis revealed the severest muscle damag at that time. Ischemic muscle recovered very slowly during the first 10 day post-excision accompanied with reduction of ADC , λ_2, λ_3 values, however there was also difference of ADC,λ_2, λ_3 values between ligated and nonligated limbs except λ_1 ( ADC_(ligated) = 1.65±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.50±0.12, t =6.42, P <0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated) = 1.62±0.32, λ_(2 unligated) =1.48±0.31, t=5.09, P < 0.01) ; λ_(3 ligated)= 1.11±0.13, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.85±0.09, t=6.26, P <0. 01;λ_(1 ligated)=2.20±0.21, λ_(1 unligated) =2.18+0.20, t=0.87, P=0.40). After 28 days, ADC and λ_3 returned to normal (ADC_(ligated)= 1.51±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.55±0.14, t=-1.35, P=0.23 ; λ_(3 ligated) =0.95±0. 10, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.92±0.06, t=1.70, P=0.14), but λ_2 and FA of ligated limb were still different from those of nonligated limb (λ_(2 ligated)= 1.45±0.23, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.52±0. 95, t=-3.56, P=0.012; FA_(ligated)=0.35±0.02, FA_(unligated)=0.40±0.03, t=-3.83, P<0.01). After 56 days, all parameters retuned to normal(ADC_(ligated) =1.57±0.18, ADC_(unligated)=1.58±0.23, t=-0.71, P=0.52; λ_(1 ligated) =2.18±0.18, λ_(1 unligated)=2.24±0.14, t=-0.22, P=0.10; λ_(2 ligated)=1.64±0.13, λ_(2 unligated)=1.59±0.15, t=0.89, P=0.42; λ_(3 ligated)=0.89±0.1,λ_(3 unligated)=0.91±0.07, t=- 1.64,P= 0.18; FA_(ligated)= 0.39±0. 03, FA_(unligated)= 0.41±0.02, t=-0.83, P=0.47). Conclusion DTI is a quantitative and relatively accurate technique to assess time-dependent changes of ischemic muscle in hindlimb ischemia model of rabbit.
