Mitochondrial oxidative stress has been recognized as a preliminary and critical factor that aggravates the pathological cascade of Alzheimer's disease, which induces the production of β-amyloid protein, upregulates the expression of phosphorylated tau protein and triggers oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid. Central neurons are more vulnerable to oxidative stress than non-neuronal cells due to their high oxygen demand, abundant unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant enzymes deficiency. On this account, this review introduces the causes of mitochondrial oxidative stress, and analyzes the important role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Meanwhile, the review focuses on the design and intervention strategies of drug delivery systems targeting mitochondrial oxidative stress in neurons, aiming to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

With GC-MS、LC-UV and gene analysis,we studied Pseudonomas sp.W2 metabolic pathway of bisphenol A(Bpa).It was discovered that 4'-(trimethylsiloxy)-Acetophenone、p-Hydroxy benzaldehyde and p-Hydroxy benzoic acid are medium metabolites and that the bacteria has pcaG.

According to the sequence of SmLEA gene,a DNA fragment of 1 038 bp upstream of the coding sequence of SmLEA gene was amplified by DNA walking with the genomic DNA of Salvia miltiorrhiz as the template.Sequence analysis showed that the fragment contained some putative cis-elements relating to abiotic stress,ABA,seed specific expression.So the S.miltiorrhiz seedings was treated with 100?mol/L ABA,200mmol/L NaCl,4℃,and subjected to dehydration.The real-time PCR showed that expression levels of SmLEA was increased obviously,which was in accordance with the sequence analysis.

Objective To observe neutrophil activation and protease imbalance in airway of children after foreign-body aspiration(FBA).Methods Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was obtained through fiberoptic bronchoscopy.The supernatant was assayed for the concentration of neutrophil elastase(NE) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) and elastase inhibition capacity(EIC)/free elastase activity using a colorimetric assay.The cell pellet were smeared for the expression of ?1-antitrypsin(?1-AT) using cellular immunohisto-chemistry and cytologic analysis by Wright-Giemsa stain.Results Percentage of neutrophil,concentration of NE and the expression of ?1-AT in BLAF group,pair group and pneumonia group significantly increased compared with that of control group(Pa0.05).The ratio of Lib NE in FBA,par and peumcria group was 30.3%,27.3% and 22.7%.Conclusions FBA induces similar airway neutrophil activation and protease imbalance to bacterial pneumonia.The contralateral airway showes the same change as the foreign body side.

Objective To observe the correlation between nuclear factor ?B(NF-?B) expression and apoptosis after hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD).Methods Forty-eight 7-day newborn Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (n=24) and HI group (n=24).The expression of NF-?B in the hippocampus was detected by immunohistochemical techniques.The apoptosis of the hippocampal cells was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated 2-deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling(TUNEL)straining.Results The expression of NF-?B in hippocampal cells increased at 6 h after HIBD,peaked at 48 h,and lasted till 72 h when compared with control group(Pa
