Objective To investigate the effect of preconditioning with emulsified isoflurane (eISO) on neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 region induced by focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight healthy adult male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups (n = 8 each): sham operation group (group S); I/R group; eISO + I/R group (group EI); LY294002 (a specific PI3K inhibitor) + eISO + I/R group (group L+ EI); LY294002 + I/R group (group L) and DMSO (solvent for LY294002) + I/R group (group DMSO). Focal cerebral I/R was induced by 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion ( MCAO). A nylon thread (0.26 mm in diameter) with rounded tip was inserted into internal carotid artery and advanced cranially until resistance was met (depth of insertion about 18-20 mm) . eISO 10.5 ml/kg (120 mg/ml) was injected intraperitoneally (IP) in groups EI and L+ EI. LY294002 (25 mmol/L) 5 pi was injected into cerebral ventricle on the ischemic side in group L + EI ( at 30 min before eISO) and group L. DMSO 5 μl was injected into the cerebral ventricle on ischemic side before MCAO in group DMSO. Neurologic deficit was assessed and scored (0 = normal, 4 = unconscious) at 24 h of reperfusion. The animals were then killed and their brains were removed for detection of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL) and p-Akt expression (by immuno-histochemistry) in hippocampal CA1 region. Results Cerebral I/R significantly increased the neurologic deficit scores, the number of apoptotic cells and p-Akt expression in group I/R as compared with group S. Preconditioning with elSO attenuated the I/R-induced increase in neurologic deficit scores and number of apoptotic cells but further increased p-Akt expression. The neuroprotective effect of eISO preconditioning against I/R-induced changes was counteracted by LY294002. Conclusion eISO preconditioning can attenuate focal cerebral I/R-induced neuronal apoptosis in rats by activating PI3K/Akt pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of postconditioning with 8 % emulsified isoflurane (EI) on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Forty-eight male SD rats weighing 260-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n = 8 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S); group Ⅱ I/R; group Ⅲ,Ⅳ, Ⅴ 3 different doses of EI (group L-EI, M-EI, H-.EI) and group Ⅵ lipid emulsion (group LE). Right middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was induced by inserting a nylon thread 0.24 mm in diameter into right internal carotid artery. The thread was threaded cranially until resistance was met. MCAO was maintained for 2 h followed by 24 h reperfusion in group Ⅱ-Ⅵ. In group Ⅲ-Ⅴ EI 3.5, 7.0 and 10.5 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally (IP) immediately before reperfusion respectively. In group LE 30% lipid emulsion 10.5 ml/kg was given instead of EI. The neurologic deficit was assessed and scored (0 = normal, 4 = unable to move and unconscious). The animals were then killed and infarct size was measured. Results IP 8% emulsified isoflurane 7.0 and 10.5 ml/kg injected before reperfusion significantly reduced neurologic deficit scores and infarct size in group M-EI and H-EI as compared with group I/R. Conclusion Postconditioning with 8% emulsified isoflurane can protect the brain against focal cerebral I/R injury.

Objective To investigate the effect of preconditioning with different doses of emulsified isoflurane on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Ninety-six male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n = 16 each): sham operation group (group S), I/R group, low, median and high doses of emulsified isoflurane preconditioning group (group L, M, H) and intralipid group (group IL). Middle cerebral artery occlusion was produced by inserting a nylon thread. In group S, intraperitoneal normal saline (NS)10.5 ml/kg was injected, but the artery was only exposed 24 h later. In group I/R, intraperitoneal NS 10.5 ml/kg was injected, and the model was established 24 h later. In group L, M, H and IL, 8% emulsified isoflurane 3.5 ml/kg+NS 7.0 ml/kg, 8% emulsified isoflurane 7.0 ml/kg + NS 3.5 ml/kg, 8% emulsified isoflurane 10.5 ml/kg and 30% intralipid 10.5 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally respectively, and then the model was established 24 h later. The temperature, HR and RR were recorded at 10 min before ischemia and at 10 min of reperfusion. The neurological deficit was scored, the cerebral infarct volume and apoptosis in neurons were detected, and microscopic examination of ischemic penumbra region was performed at 24 h of reperfusion. Results The rectal temperature and HR were significantly increased, while RR was significantly decreased duing cerebral I/R.The neurological deficit score was significantly higher, cerebral infarct volume and the number of apoptotic neurons were significantly larger in the other groups than in group S. Emulsified isoflurane preconditioning reduced neurological deficit scores, cerebral infarct volume and the number of apoptotic neurons dose-dependently. Conclusion Emulsified isoflurane preconditioning can reduce focal cerebral I/R injury in a dose-dependent manner in rats.

METHODS: Adhesion of the SK-N-SH cells to immobilized collagen was tested with various concentration of Mg~ 2+ , Ca~ 2+ and with 10 ?g/L anti-?2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) 6F1. A_ 570 was detected as adhesion cell numbers. RESULTS: Mg~ 2+ -dependent adhesion of SK-N-SH cells to type I collagen was increased significantly, with peak adhesion at concentration of 1 mmol/L Mg~ 2+ . A_ 570 with or without Mg~ 2+ was 0.59?0.03 and 0.25?0.01 respectively (P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety ofGuipi Decoction vs. antidepressants for depression. Methods Articles about the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ofGuipi Decoction for depression were searched in the databases of CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, CMB, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane Library. Two researchers independently screened the articles, extracted the data, and evaluated the methodological quality. Meta-analyses were performed by using RevMan 5.2 software.Results A total of 9 RCTs articles involving 893 cases were included. Meta-analysis results suggested that as compared with antidepressants only,Guipi Decoction together with antidepressants was associated with a significantly greater reduction in HAMD scores (MD=-4.63, 95%CI [-5.95, -3.32];P<0.001). There was no significant difference in HAMD scores betweenGuipi Decoction used alone and antidepressants (MD=-0.30, 95%CI [-4.22, 3.62];P=0.88). As compared with antidepressants,Guipi Decoction together with antidepressants increased in the rates of total effective events (RR=1.26, 95%CI [1.14, 1.38];P<0.001). No serious adverse reactions were reported. Meta-analysis results suggested that the incidence of adverse reactions of Guipi Decoction(RR=0.48, 95%CI [0.40, 0.58];P<0.001) andGuipi Decoction together with antidepressants (RR=0.51, 95%CI [0.30, 0.85];P=0.010) were lower than that of antidepressants alone.Conclusion The present evidence suggests thatGuipi Decoction is effective and relatively safe for patients with depression. However, because the quality of included research was low, more large-scale RCTs with multicenter and high quality are needed for further verification.

Objective To explore the anti-hepatic-fibrosis mechanism of Baogan Ning(BN).Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomized into 5 groups: normal group,model group,high-and low-dosage BN groups(35.4 and 17.7 g/kg respectively),and colchicine group(0.11mg/kg).Rat models of hepatic fibrosis were induced by multiplex factors.Hepatic protein was extracted,and the expression of hepatic leptic receptors of OB-Rb,JAK2 and STAT3 was detected with Western Blot method.Results The protein expression was not obvious in the normal group,and the color of protein band in the medication groups was light but dark in the model group.Compared with the normal group,the expression of OB-Rb,JAK2 and STAT3 increased in the model group.However,the expression of OB-Rb,JAK2 and STAT3 decreased in the medication groups as compared with the model group.And the expression of OB-Rb,JAK2 and STAT3 decreased in the BN groups as compared with the colchicines group.Conclusion The anti-hepatic-fibrosis mechanism of Baogan Ning is probably related with the inhibition of OB-Rb expression,thus inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 message pathway.
