Cerebral small vessel disease refers to the diseases that affects intracranial small arteries,arterioles,precapillaries,and venules.The image-based types mainly include white matter lesion,lacunar infarction,and cerebral microbleeds.It is believed to be the independent risk factors of cognitive impairment or vascular dementia.The location,number and volume of the small vessel diseases may all influence the degree of cognitive impairment and manifestation.

Objective To evaluate the construction of expression vector for fusion protein of cell-penetrating pep-tide CCL (PEP-CCL).Methods CCL6-PEP-6XHis was inserted into plasmid pABP,pABP-CCL6-PEP plasmid was extracted and then transfected into HEK293 cells,CCL6-PEP-6XHis was expressed and purified by chromatog-raphy and detected with Western Blot.Results PEP-CCL express vector was successfully constructed and purified. PCR product of CCL6-PEP-6XHis Tag was ligated with T vector,recombinant was transferred into the host cells, then host cells were cultured,plasmid was extracted and sequenced,the sequence was identical to targeted gene. CCL6-PEP-6XHis was successfully inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pABP,plasmid was extracted and digested,electrophoresis results revealed that a fragment with 430bp was digested by Hind Ⅲ+XbaⅠ,which was identical to the expected value.Western Blot revealed that CCL6-PEP fusion protein could be recognized by His monoclonal antibody.Conclusion PEP-CCL express vector can be constructed and expressed in eukaryotic cells.

Objective To study the expressions of survivin and caspase-9 in human primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) tissues and their relationship with apoptosis.Methods Immunohistochemical staining was uesed to detect the expressions of survivin and caspase-9 in paraffin sections of 96 cases including 42 HCC tissues,42 paired adjacent noncancerous tissues and 12 normal liver tissues. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL.Results No immunoreactivity of survivin was seen in normal liver tissues.The positive rates of survivin in HCC and paired adjacent noncancerous tissues were 73.81% and 4.76%,respectively,there was significant difference between two groups(P0.05).The expressions of survivin and caspase-9 in HCC tissues were not associated with age,sex and the size of tumor,but they were directly associated with tumor histological grade and metastasis.Conclusion High expression of survivin in HCC may inhibit apoptosis through depressing the expression of caspase-9,and it is an indicator of independent poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin on gene expression of L-type calcium channels(LCCs) of myocardial cells in BALB/c mice infected by coxsackievirus B3(CVB3) so as to study the therapeutic effect of simvastatin on viral myocarditis.Methods Sixty male BALB/c mice were divided into five groups randomly(n=12).Mice in viral control group and three groups of oral administration of simvastatin(10,30 and 90 mg?kg-1)were inoculated intrapritoneally with 0.2 mL of CVB3(Nancy strain).Mice in normal control group were inoculated intrapritoneally with 0.2 mL Eagle's solution.The heart samples of all the mice were obtained for hispathological study and detection of myocardial LCCs alpha1 subunits mRNA expression by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results In viral control group,the mononuclear inflamematory infiltrate was focal or diffuse in myocardium of mice,severe hearts revealed a large area of myocardial necrosis.The degree of inflammatory cell infiltrate and area of necrosis were significantly less in simvastatin groups as compared with viral control group.The myocardial LCCs alpha1 subunits mRNA expression by semi-quantitative RT-PCR in normal control group was much lower than that in viral control group(0.06?0.01 vs 1.37?0.32,P

BACKGROUND:Neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine can induce the clinical, biochemical and pathological characteristics similar to those observed in primary Parkinson’s disease. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on the proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells of Parkinson’s disease model mice and the mood change.
METHODS:A total of 72 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups:normal saline group, Parkinson’s disease model group (model group), sham-repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group (sham group) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group. The mice received 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine injection×4 to establish acute Parkinson’s disease models. The mice in the normal saline group were injected the same volume saline. And 24 hours after the last injection of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3, 6-tetrahydropyridine, the mice in the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group received five trains of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, 1 Hz for 25 seconds, at an intensity of 1 Tesla daily for 1, 3, 7 consecutive days. Sham group mice were not exposed to the magnetic field. No treatment was performed in the mice of model group. The mood change was evaluated using the elevated-plus maze testing before and after repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment. The change in expression of nestin in the subventricular zone was observed by using immunohistochemical technique.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Elevated-plus maze testing:There was no statistical significance about percentage of opening arm time accounting for total time among groups and at different time points in each group, but after stimulation, the percentage of opening arm time accounting for total time showed a declined tendency. (2) The results of nestin immunohistochemical staining:Compared to the normal saline group, the number of nestin-positive cells of the model group was increased at days 3 and 7, and there was no statistical significance in the number of nestin-positive cells between model group and sham group;Compared to the sham group and model group, the number of nestin-positive cells of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation group were evidently increased;The proliferation of endogenous neural stem cells was time-dependent, endogenous neural stem cells exhibited outward migration gradual y along the certain way, and some cells were able to migrate to the corpus cal osum at day 3, and even to the cerebral cortex at day 7. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can promote the endogenous neural stem cells in a time-depended manner.

For the perioperation of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the local corticosteroid nasal spray, hormone and antibiotics oral treatment are mainly used in modern medicine. Oral treatment decoction, nasal spray and traditional Chinese medicine lavage and so on which are the combinations of internal and external treatment are used in TCM therapy. This article reviewed the use of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the perioperation of CRS, and provided references for standardization of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine therapy for treating CRS.
