AIM: To observe the effect of cannabinoid receptor (CB1R) agonist WIN55-212-2 on the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), c-Fos and protein kinase A beta-catalytic subunit (PKAC-β) in cerebrum cortex after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats. METHODS: The intracerebral hemorrhage model of rat was made by the injection of collagenase Ⅶ, and WIN55-212-2 was intraperitoneally (ip) injected 30 min later. The rats were killed for sampling the brain tissues as specimens 24 h after ICH. The methods of immunohistochemical analysis and Western blotting were adopted to detect the expression of PKAC-β and BDNF. The mRNA expression of PKAC-β, c-Fos and BDNF was determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS: WIN55-212-2 obviously improved some nervous deficit symptoms and increased the expression of BDNF at mRNA and protein levels with upregulating the mRNA expression of c-Fos and downregulating the expression of PKA at mRNA and protein levels in the ipsilateral cerebral cortex. The proteins of PKAC-β, c-Fos and BDNF were expressed on the membrane or nucleus of the neuron or in the cytoplasm of glial cells, respectively. CONCLUSION: The expression of BDNF is induced not only by upregulation of c-Fos, but also by downregulation of PKA in WIN55-212-2 treated rats.

Aim To explore the effects of cannabinoid (WIN55,212-2) on mRNA and protein expressions of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF in cerebral cortex after intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH)in rats.Methods ICH model of rats were made by Ⅶ Collagenase,which were injected by the intraperitoneal route,thirty minutes after the operations.The rats were killed for brain tissue as specimens with 24 hours.The localizations of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF were assessed by immunohistochemistry;The expressions of PKAC-?,c-fos and BDNF mRNA were detected by RT-PCR;The expressions of PKAC-? and BDNF protein were revealed by Western blot.Results WIN55,212-2 increased not only the levels of BDNF mRNA and protein,but also c-fos mRNA in ipsilateral cerebral cortex.However,it decreased the levels of PKAC-? mRNA and protein.PKAC-?,c-fos,and BDNF proteins were expressed on membrane of neurons,nucleus of neurons or the cytoplasm of glial cells respectively.Conclusion WIN55,212-2 induces the expression of BDNF in the cerebral cortex,which provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To synthesize 4 kinds of 111 In?TPP cations and evaluate their properties as tumor cationic radiotracers in vivo and in vitro. Methods DO3A?xy?TPP, DO3A?xy?mTPP, DO3A?xy?dmTPP and DO3A?xy?tmTPP were radiolabeled with 111 In;their lipid?water partition coefficients and in vivo and in vitro stability were evaluated. The binding affinities of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were determined in cell uptake and cell efflux assay using U87MG tumor cells. Biodistribution studies and γ imaging studies were performed using the athymic nude mice bearing U87MG human glioma xenografts to explore the biologi?cal properties of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers. One?way analysis of variance was used. Results The labeling yields of 4 kinds of 111 In?radiotracers were all above 85%, and the radiochemical purity were all greater than 99% after purification. Binding assay in U87MG cells showed that 4 kinds of radiotracers had great binding affinity and cell retention ability, and 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best binding ratio (1?49%;F=177.8, P<0.05) . Gamma imaging and biodistribution results showed that the U87MG tumors could be clearly visualized by 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP, and the liver uptake of the 3 tracers was lower than that of 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP. In particular, 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP had the best tumor/liver ratio (0.13±0.05, 2 h postinjection;F=9.4, P<0?05). Conclusions The tumor?targeted ability of 111In?DO3A?xy?mTPP is better than those of 111In?DO3A?xy?dmTPP, 111In?DO3A?xy?tmTPP and 111In?DO3A?xy?TPP, suggesting that it has the potential to be a promising tumor cationic radiotracer.

Objective To evaluate the distribution of non-motor symptoms(NMS) and dominant factors impacting on the prevalence of NMS in Parkinson's disease(PD). Methods The NMS questionnaire(NMSQuest) was administered to 128 patients(PD group) and 128 healthy adults(control group).The distribution of items of NMS was analyzed between the two groups,and clinical characteristics were also collected to assess the dominant factors impacting on the prevalence of NMS. Results There were significant differences in the prevalence of NMS between the two groups(P

Objective The purpose of this study is to evaluate Surgical Procedure and Prognosis for elderly stage 1NSCLC patients above 70 years old.Methods The patients who were stage Ⅰ non-small cell lung cancer from 2003 to 2007were enrolled ( n =71 ).The median age was 74 years ( ranged from 70 to 84 years).The median follow-up of patients was 30months( ranged from 2 to 81 months).Results The percentages of postoperative complications after sublobar resection and lobectomy patients were 36.4％ and 46.9％,respectively.The period in hospital were 11.36 days and 12.24 days.The 3 year survival was 85.9％ for patients undergoing sublobar resection and 78.8％ for lobectomy.The 5 year survival was 56.4％ and 56.9％ respectively.No significant difference was observed between two types of surgical procedure in the elderly.Staging is the independent factor of prognosis.Conclusion Lobectomy is still the main therapy method for elderly stage Ⅰ NSCLC patients.Especially,for those who can undergo radical resection.But sublobar resection also appears to be a viable surgical treatment for patients with cardiopulmonary physiologic impairment.

Background Many studies and clinical trials of pharmacologic vitreolysis are already under way to try to improve vitreo-retinal surgery and to liquefy and detach the vitreous from the retina ultimately, including chondroitinase,hyaluronidase,dispase and plasmin. However, there has not been any report on purification of human plasminogen from cord blood plasma and inducing posterior vitreous detachment of the animal eye at present.Objective This study was designed to isolate and purify the production of human plasminogen (Plg) from cord blood plasma with ethanol precipitation and evaluate the efficacy of Plg in inducing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).Methods Human Plg was Separated and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. The protein band corresponding to Plg with molecular mass of 92 000 was revealed in SDS-PAGE and confirmed by MALDI-TOF and Mascot database. Anion-exchange chromatography and plasminogen activity assay kit were used to obtain purified Plg with biological activity. Twenty-five fresh pig eyes were enucleated and assigned to 5 groups and 5 eyes for each group. The normal eyes were used as control group. Balanced salt solution(BSS)of 0.1 ml was intravitreally group and standard substance group. All of the eyes were then incubatedfor 60 minutes under the 37 ℃. Retinal histopathology and ultrastructure were examined under the light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy ( SEM ) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results The Plg with potential fibrinolytic activity was successfully extracted and purified from cord blood plasma by ethanol precipitation method. No posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) was seen in normal control group, BSS group and r-SK group following the intravitreal injection under the sem. However,PVD was demonstrated in r-SK+ Plg group and standard substance group under the SEM. The inner limiting membrane ( ILM ) and the retina were well preserved in all of the experimental eyes. No retinal morphology and ultrastructural abnormality were found under the light and SEM and TEM. Conclusion Ethanol precipitation is a feasible way to isolate and purify Plg from human cord blood plasma. Extracted Plg shows potential fibrinolytic intravitreal injection of Plg.
