Objective To estimate the degree of oxidative stress and atherosclerosis praecox in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and emphasize on exploring AOPPs' clinical significance in premature atherosclerosis in SLE. Methods The levels of AOPPs, Hey, MDA, SOD, baPMV and CIMT were detected by ELISA and spectropholometry in 44 non-menopausal female SLE patients and 31 healthy middle-aged women respectively, and baPWV. The results were compared with AOPPs of the two groups. Then each group was stratified based on disease duration (≥5 years or <5 years) and the disease activity(active and inactive) in SLE patients. The patients' TC, TG, LDL were analyzed. T test, t' test and Pearson correla-tion were selected. Results The levels of AOPPs, Hcy, MDA in SLE patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls (P<0.05). The activities of SOD were lower than controls (P<0.05). The levels of AOPPs, Hcy, MDA, SOD had statistical significance between SLE patients disease duration ≥5 years or <5 years, active or inactive groups. There were two cases with CAP in patients with SLE (more than 5 years disease duration),while there wasnone in healthy controls. The levels of baPWV and CIMT in patients with SLE were higher than healthy controls (P<0.05), and had statistical significance in SLE patients disease duration more than or less than 5 years (P<0.05). The oxidative stress targets (AOPPs, Hey, MDA, SOD) had significant correlation with the level of baPWV and CIMT (P<0.01). The level of serum AOPPs had significant positive correlation with the levels of Hcy, TC, TG and LDL (P<0.01~0.05). Conclusion SLE patients have increased oxidative stress , and significantly higher prevalence of atherosclerosis than healthy controls. The disease duration and oxidative stress play important roles in the duration of atherosclerosis. AOPPs probably involves in the accelerated atherosclerosis of SLE patients. It may be a predictor for SLE complicated with atherosclerosis praecox.

Objective To explore the protective effect of Mip1 on cerebral edema by observing the Mip1 expression of perihematoma in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) rat model. Methods Ninety male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=15) and ICH group (n=75). ICH group was equally subdivided into 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, and 7 d groups according to cerebral hemorrhage time, 15 in each group. Hematoma was formed by infusing autologous femoral artery blood into the right caudate nucleus. Rats were killed at the above time points, brain tissues around hematoma were taked. The pathological morphological changes in brain tissue around hematoma were observed using HE staining. The water content of brain (BWC) was measured with dry/wet weight method, and immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the average optical density value of Mip1 protein in perihematoma. Results Neuronal cell body of perihematoma was significantly decreased after ICH, the cytoplasm light staining, Nissl body reduced obviously in cytoplasm, and edema fissure appeared around cells, however, no obvious changes of nerve cells were detected in sham-operated group. Brain edema gradually increased at 6 h, and reached peak at 3 d (all P<0.05), then up to normal at 7 d after intracerebral hemorrhage (P>0.05). A large amount of brown Mip1 positive cells were found to distribute in cytoplasm and nucleus of perihematoma after intracerebral hemorrhage. The Mip1 protein expression level was higher in 6 h after intracerebral hemorrhage than that in sham-operated group (all P<0.05), and returned to normal level at 7 d (P>0.05). Conclusion The high expression of Mip1 after ICH is in line with the trend of the brain edema development, and shows that the activation of Mip1 may participate in the pathological process of hemorrhagic cerebral edema.

Objective To compare the effects of propofol and ketamine on long-term memory and the expression of brain N-methylgroup-D-aspartate receptor 2B(NMDAR2B) and Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor 1(GABAR1) in aged rats, and preliminary investigate the relation between the long-term memory and expression of neurotransmitter receptors in different cerebral areas. Methods The aged male rats were randomly divided into control group,propofol group and ketamine group. Morris water maze training was performed in all the rats of three groups for 5 days. On the 6th day, intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg?mL-1 propofol was administrated in propofol group,80 mg?mL-1 ketamine was intraperitoneally injected in ketamine group,and blank control group was given the same dose of saline.Seven days after the administration,space exploration experiment and navigation experiment test were performed to test the impact on the learning and memory ability of rats. After that, the expression levels of GABAR1 and NMDAR2B in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain were detected by immunofluorescence and FISH technique. Results The results of Morris water maze showed there was no significant difference between propofol group (9.49±1.24) s and blank control group (8.82±2.22) s.There was statistically significant difference between ketamine group (12.04±2.67) s and blank control group (P<0.05),with longer latency time and less number of times of passing through target as compared with blank control group.By using immunohistochemistry and FISH technique,the expression of GABAR1 in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain was not significantly different between propofol group and blank control group,but it was significantly up-regulated in ketamine group as compared with blank control group ( P<0.05) . The expression of NMDAR2B in temporal lobe and hippocampal CA1 region of the rat brain was not significantly different between propofol group and blank control group,but it was significantly down-regulated in ketamine group as compared with blank control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Propofol anesthesia alone had no effect on long-term learning and memory,but ketamine anesthesia can result in long-term learning and memory impairment. The mechanism may be related with down-regulation of the expression of NMDAR2B receptor and up-regulation of GABAR1 not only in CA1 region hippocampus,but also in temporal lobe.
