Aim To explore the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine ( NAC ) on β amyloid peptide 25 - 35 ( Aβ25-35 )-induced the increase of calpain activity and its possible mechanism. Methods The activity of cal-pain was induced by 20μmol·L-1 Aβ 25-35 in primary cortical neuron. Neurons were incubated in the absent or present Aβ25-35 , or pre-incubated NAC ( 10 mmol ·L-1 ) , then co-incubated with Aβ25-35 . The meas-urement of calpain activity, H2 O2 level and mitochon-drial membrane potential was performed on a micro-plate fluorometer. The ATP level was detected using a luciferin/luciferase based ATP assay kit. Results In Aβ25-35 treated group, the activity of calpain and H2 O2 was obviously higher than that in control group. How-ever, in neurons pre-incubated in NAC and then co-in-cubated in Aβ25-35 , the calpain activity and H2 O2 level were significantly decreased compared with that in Aβ25-35 group. Upon Aβ25-35 exposure for 12 h, corti-cal neurons showed a significant decrease in mitochon-drial membrane potential and ATP level when com-pared to the control group. Pre-treatment with NAC showed an increase in mitochondrial membrane poten-tial and ATP level as compared to neurons treated with Aβ25-35 alone for 12h. Conclusion This result sug-gests that NAC can attenuate calpain activity induced by Aβ25-35 through protecting mitochondria.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of oxycodone for anesthesia when combined with propofol in the patients undergoing induced abortion.Methods Three hundred patients, aged 18-40 yr, weighing 40-70 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ , undergoing elective induced abortion, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n =50 each) using a random number table: fentanyl group (group F) and different doses of oxycodone groups (Q1-5 groups).In group F, fentanyl 1 μg/kg was intravenously injected.In Q1-5 groups, oxycodone hydrochloride 20, 40, 60, 100 and 150 μg/kg were intravenously injected, respectively.Propofol 2.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected 1 min later in all the patients, and the operation was started when the eyelash reflex disappeared.The occurrence of hypotension, bradycardia, body movement and respiratory depression during operation, and nausea and vomiting within 4 h after operation were recorded.The uterine contraction pain was assessed with numerical rating scale (NRS) at 30 min, 1 h and 4 h after operation.Patient's satisfaction was evaluated at 1 and 4 h after operation.Results With the prolongation of time, NRS score was gradually increased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was gradually decreased in group F (P＜0.05).With the prolongation of time,NRS score was gradually decreased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was gradually increased in Q1-2 groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in NRS score and degree of patient's satisfaction between Q3-5 groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group F, NRS score was significantly decreased, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was increased at 4 h after operation in Q1-5 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with Q1-2 groups, NRS score was significantly decreased at 30 min and 4 h after operation, and the degree of patient's satisfaction was increased at 4 h after operation in Q3-5 groups (P＜0.05).Among the Q1-5 groups,the incidence of respiratory depression, body movement, and nausea and vomiting was the lowest in group Q4 (P＜0.05).Conclusion When combined with propofol, the optimum dose of oxycodone for anesthesia is 100 μg/kg in the patients undergoing induced abortion.

The aim of this study is to investigate the protection effect of tanshinone IIA (Tan) against triptolide (TP)-induced liver injury and the mechanisms involved. Acute liver injury was induced by intraperitoneal injection of TP (1 mg x kg(-1)) in mice. The activities of AST, ALT and LDH in serum and the levels of GSH, GST, GSH-PX, SOD, CAT and MDA in liver tissue were detected. The histopathological changes of liver tissues were observed after HE staining. Nrf2 translocation in liver tissue was detected by Western blotting, and real-time PCR was used to measure the expression levels of GCLC, NQO1 and HO-1 mRNA. The results showed that pretreatment with Tan significantly prevented the TP induced liver injury as indicated by reducing the activities of AST, ALT and LDH (P < 0.01). Tan pretreatment also prevented TP-induced oxidative stress in the mice liver by inhibiting MDA and restoring the levels of GSH, GST, SOD and CAT (P < 0.05). Parallel to these changes, pretreatment with Tan could attenuate histopathologic changes induced by TP. Furthermore, the results indicated that Tan pretreatment caused nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 as well as induction of mRNA expression of antioxidant response element (ARE)-driven genes such as GCLC, NQO1 and HO-1. These results indicated that Tan could protect against TP-induced acute liver injury via the activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway.

This study was to explore the value of maternal serum screen in identification of fetal abnormal chromosome and neural tube defect(NTD). By using time-distinguished fluorescence immunoassay, serum levels of free-β-HCG and alpha fetal protein(AFP)were obtained in 7698 pregnant women at 15～20 +6weeks. and 483 were found at a higher risk of fetal abnormal chromosome. Based on amniotic fluid examination or cord blood testing on 344 high. Risk participants. Fetal abnormal chromosome was found in 18 women with a positive rate of 5. 2%. Twenty-five pregnant women were NTD high-risk, and their positive rate was 0. 3%. B-mode ultrasound identified 6 fetal malformations and 2 fetal deaths ( positive rate of 32. 0%). In high-risk or low-risk group, there were 25. 6%and 7. 7%subjects developed adverse outcome, respectively(P＜0. 05). Our findings suggested that maternal serum screen is an effective prediction factor for fetal abnormal chromosome and NTD.

Aim To investigate the expression of G protein-coupled receptor TGR5 and its effects on FN and TGF-β1 expression cultured under high glucose condition in rat glomerular mesangial cells , and then to explore the role of TGR5 in diabetic nephropathy. Methods INT-777 and TGR5 plasmid were used to activate TGR5 under high glucose(HG,30 mmol·L - 1 glucose ) condition, and anti-TGR5 small interfering RNA(TGR5 siRNA) was used to knock down TGR5. The protein expression of FN and TGF-β1 in rat me-sangial cells was detected by Western blot. Results TGR5 could be detected in rat glomerular mesangial cells. Both FN and TGF-β1 protein levels could be in-creased by high glucose compared with control group(P < 0. 05),and be inhibited by activiation of TGR5(P <0. 05). On the other hand,knockdown of TGR5 could increase FN and TGF-β1 protein to abnormal levels(P< 0. 01,P < 0. 05). Conclusion TGR5 suppresses HG-induced FN and TGF-β1 expression in rat glomer-ular mesangial cells,suggesting a protective role in the process of diabetic nephropathy.
