Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(18):29-31
Objective To investigate the MRI appearances of postpartum posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Methods The clinical and radiological data of 8 patients with postpartum PRES were analyzed retrospectively, 5 cases were 1 week after postpartum,2 cases were 2 weeks afterpostpartum, 1 case was 4 weeks after postpartum. All cases underwent MRI examination, checking sequence included T,WI,T2WI,FLAIR,DWI,SWI, and 4 of them underwent MR venography (MRV). Results MRI showed basal bilaterally symmetrical distributions of lesions, mainly located in subcortex and cortex of cerebral hemisphere and predominantly in the occipital lobe,the lesions appeared as hyperintensity on FLAIR and T2WI,isointensity or mildly hypointensity on T1WI,hyperintensity on DWI. MRI in 8 patients demonstrated multiple lesions located in bilateral parietal lobe (8 cases),bilateral occipital lobe (8 cases), bilateral frontal lobe ( 4 cases ), bilateral temporal lobe (6 cases ), bilateral tempura-occipital lobe ( 8 cases),splenium of corpus callosum(l case), bilateral basal ganglia (l case), bilateral oval center( 1 case), bilateral cerebellar hemisphere (1 case), left frontal lobe hemorrhage (l case). Five patients' follow-up scan showed decreased or disappeared abnormal signals. Conclusion MRI examination scan identify the location, quality and degree, meanwhile, analyze the pathological foundation of postpartum PRES, which conduces to guiding treatment and preventing complication.

9.Inhibitory effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract on selenite-induced cataract formation and possible mechanism.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2012;32(4):613-9
This study investigated the inhibitory effect of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) on selenite-induced cataract formation in rats and the possible mechanism. Eighty 8-day-old Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into 5 groups: control group, model group, three GSPE groups (low dose, medium dose and high dose). Control group received subcutaneous injection of physiological saline. Model group was given subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite (20 μmol/kg body weight) on the postpartum day 10, and once every other day for consecutive three times thereafter. GSPE treated groups were respectively administered GSPE at doses of 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight intragastrically 2 days prior to the selenite injection (that was, on the postpartum day 8), and once daily for fourteen consecutive days thereafter. The opacity of lenses was observed, graded and photographed under the slit lamp microscopy and the maximal diameter of the nuclear cataract plaques was measured. The lenses were analyzed for superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), malondialdehyde (MDA), calcium (Ca(2+)), nitric oxide (NO) and anti-hydroxyl radical ability (anti-OH(-)). The histomorphology of lenses was observed with HE staining under a light microscope. The levels of calpainII, and iNOS protein and mRNA expression in lenses were detected by using immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite led to severe nuclear cataract in model group, and the achievement ratio of model group was 100%. As compared with model group, the degree of lenses opacity and the maximal diameter of nuclear cataract plaques were significantly reduced in GSPE-treated groups. Moreover, we observed selenite treatment caused a significant decrease in the activities of antioxidative enzymes (SOD, CAT, GSH-PX) and anti-OH(-) ability, accompanied by a significant increase in the levels of MDA, NO, Ca(2+) as well as iNOS, and calpainII protein and mRNA expression. Administration of GSPE could dose-dependently preserve the activities of these antioxidative enzymes and anti-OH(-) ability, accompanied by a significant reduction in the levels of MDA, NO, Ca(2+) as well as iNOS, and calpainII protein and mRNA expression. These results suggested that GSPE markedly prevented selenite-induced cataract formation probably by suppressing the generation of lipid peroxidation and free radicals as well as the activation of iNOS, and calpainII in the lenses.
10. Modulation mechanism of PKC upon inwardly rectifying potassium channels
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;30(8):956-960
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels are widely distributed in many tissues and play important roles in physiological processes such as maintaining K+ homeostasis, regulating cell excitability and insulin secretion. The activity of Kir channels is regulated by a number of modulators,such as K+, Mg2+, pH, ATP, GPCR, PIP2, PKA, PKC, AA (arachidonic acid), etc. Study of the regulating mechanisms of Kir channel is a key step in understanding the physiology and physiopathology of these channels. Because many extra molecular signals regulate Kir channels via PKC pathway, much effort has been made over the past decade to understand role of PKC in regulating Kir channels. This paper summarizes the molecular basis of PKC modulation of Kir channels and the recent progression on the area.
