Objective To evaluate the changes in expression of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRP) in hippocampus during brain injury in a rat model of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods Seventv-two clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-350 g,aged 8-10 weeks,were divided into 2 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (S group,n=18) and ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R group,n=54).Tracheal intubation was performed and artery and veins were punctured in group S.Ventricular fibrillation was induced by transoesophageal cardiac pacing to establish the model of cardiac arrest in group I/R.Rats were sacrificed at 12,24 and 48 h after resuscitation and the hippocampus was harvested for determination of CIRP,tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-lbeta (IL-1β) protein and mRNA expression (by quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blot) and for determination of pathological changes of hippocampi (with a light microscope).Results Compared with group S,the expression of CIRP mRNA in hippocampus was up-regulated at 24 and 48 h after resuscitation,the expression of TNF-α mRNA was up-regulated at 12,24 and 48 h after resuscitation,the expression of IL-1β mRNA was up-regulated at 12 and 24 h after resuscitation,and the expression of CIRP,TNF-α and IL-1β was up-regulated at 12,24 and 48 h after resuscitation in group I/R (P＜0.05).Pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 region were found in group I/R.Conclusion The expression of CIRP in hippocampus is up-regulated,which promotes central inflammatory responses during brain injury in a rat model of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrogen sulfide on hippocampal endoplasmic reticulum stress during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Seventy-two pathogen-free healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 280-320 g,aged 8-10 weeks,were divided into 3 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group Sham),global cerebral I/R group (group I/R) and global cerebral I/R plus sodium hydrosulfide group (group I/R+NaHS).Cardiac arrest was induced with transoesophageal cardiac pacing followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation to establish the global cerebral I/R model.Immediately after recovery of spontaneous circulation,sodium hydrosulfide 2.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in group I/R+NaHS,and normal saline 5 ml/kg was given in group I/R.The hippocampi were immediately removed at 24 h of reperfusion for determination of the expression of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78),C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) and caspase-12 in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot).At 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion,the hippocampal tissues were obtained and stained with haematoxylin and eosin for examination of the pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 region (under a light microscope) and for determination of apoptosis in hippocampal cells (using TUNEL staining),and the apoptosis rate was calculated.Results Compared with group Sham,the apoptosis rate of hippocampal tissues at 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion in group I/R and at 3 and 7 days of reperfusion in group I/R+NaHS were significantly increased,and the expression of GRP78,CHOP and caspase-12 in hippocampal tissues was significantly up-regulated in I/R and I/R+NaHS groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R,the apoptosis rate of hippocampal tissues was significantly decreased,and the expression of GRP78,CHOP and caspase-12 was down-regulated at 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group I/R+NaHS.Conclusion The mechanism by which hydrogen sulfide reduces apoptosis in hippocampal cells is related to inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress during global cerebral I/R in rats.

Objective To explore the effects of microwave irradiation on the proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts so as to analyze the expression of collagen-1 and the activation of the signaling pathway involved.Methods Cells from a human keloid scar were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into a control group withont any intervention,a 10 mW/cm2 microwave irradiation (10-MI) group and a 20 mW/cm2 microwave irradiation (20-MI) group.Aliquots of the latter 2 groups were irradiated at their corresponding intensities for 5 min,15 min and 30 min.The growth of fibroblasts was evaluated using MTT assay.The expression of collagen-1 and changes in the phosphorylation of protein JNK were detected using western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,no significant differences in the average growth of the keloid-derived fibroblasts were observed in the 10-MI group,but significant differences were observed in the 20-MI group and among the three sub-groups irradiated for different durations.The expression of type 1 collagen was significantly down-regulated after irradiation in a time-dependent manner.After microwave radiation at 20 mW/cm2,JNK was significantly activated compared to the control group at the different time points.Conclusions Microwave irradiation at 20 mW/cm2 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts and the down-regulalion is correlated with the irradiation's duration.It can also significantly inhibit collagen-1 expression and relieve scar formation through activating the JNK signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of mild hypothermia combined with mitochondrial divison inhibitor 1 in mitochondrial after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR).Methods Fourty male healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, weighing 280-320 g, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=8 each): group Sham, group IR, hypothermia group (group H), Mdivi-1 group (group M) and hypothermia+Mdivi-1 group (group HM).Animal models of global cerebral IR were established by transoesophageal cardiac pacing inducing cardiac arrest followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ischemia 4 min and reperfusion 6 h).The group Sham was similarly treated to group IR except the cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.In groups H and HM, the core temperature was cooled down to 32-34℃ within 15 min starting from the beginning of reperfusion, and maintained for 6 h.In the other groups, the core temperature was maintained at the normal temperature.In groups M and HM, the animals were given Mdivi-1 (1.2 mg/kg) intravenously at the beginning of the reperfusion and the other groups were given the same Volume of dimethylsnlfone (DMSO).After 6 h of reperfusion, the rats were sacrificed, and bilateral hippocampi were immediately removed for determination the protein level of dynamin-related proten 1 (Drp1) and cytochrome C (Cyt-C) expression by Western blot and obsevation of the mitochondrial structure of pyramidal cell in hippocampal CA1 under electronic microscope.Results Compared with group Sham, the expression of Drp1 and Cyt-C was up-regulated in groups IR, H, M and HM (P＜0.05).Compared with group IR, the expression of Drp1 and Cyt-C was down-regulated in groups H, M and HM (P＜0.05).Compared with groups H and M, the expression of Drp1 and Cyt-C was down-regulated in group HM (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the expression of Drp1 and Cyt-C between groups H and M.The mitochondria were rod-shaped with clear and sound structure in group Sham, while mitochondria showed various degree of fission, swollen structures, matrix deposit, vacuoles formation and cristae collapse in other groups.The changes of group HM were relatively slight.Conclusion Mild hypothermia combined with mitochondrial divison inhibitor 1 alleviate mitochondrial damage after global cerebral IR of rats.The combined effect is better than that of any individual application.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hypothermia on the expression of dynamin?related protein 1 ( Drp1) in brain tissues during global cerebral ischemia?reperfusion ( I∕R) in rats. Methods Thirty?six healthy male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 280-320 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table: sham operation group ( group Sham ) , global cerebral I∕R group ( group I∕R) and hypothermia group ( group H) . Cardiac arrest was induced by transoesophageal cardiac pacing followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation to establish the global cerebral I∕R model in anesthetized rats in I∕R and H groups. In group H, the body temperature ( rectal temperature) was cooled down to 32-34 ℃ within 15 min starting from the beginning of reperfusion, and maintained at this level for 6 h. At 72 h of reperfusion, neurological deficit was scored, and the rats were sacrificed, and the whole brain was removed for examination of the pathological changes in hippocampal CA1 region and for determination of nor?mal pyramidal cell count and neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 region and expression of Drp1 and cy?tochrome c (Cyt c) in hippocampal tissues (by Western blot). The apoptosis rate was calculated. Re?sults Compared with group S, the neurological deficit score and apoptosis rate were significantly in?creased, and the number of normal pyramidal cells was decreased in I∕R and H groups, the expression of Drp1 and Cyt c in hippocampal tissues was significantly up?regulated in group I∕R ( P<0.05) , and no sig?nificant change was found in the expression of Drp1 and Cyt c in hippocampal tissues in group H ( P>0.05) . Compared with group I∕R, the neurological deficit score and apoptosis rate were significantly de?creased, the number of normal pyramidal cells was increased, and the expression of Drp1 and Cyt c in hip?pocampal tissues was down?regulated in group H ( P<0.05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which hypo?thermia inhibits cell apoptosis during global cerebral I∕R may be related to down?regulation of Drp1 expres?sion in rats.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine on prevention of emergence agitation in adult patients during recovery period after abdomen surgery.Methods 1 20 ASA I -II patients scheduled for elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into three groups:dexmedetomidine group (group A),midazolam group (group B)and the saline control group (group C),40 cases in each group.40min before the end of surgery,dexmedetomidine 0.6μg/kg was continued intravenous infusion 1 0min in group A,midazo-lam 30μg/kg and 1 mL physiological saline were respectively intravenously injected in group B and group C.The post-operative recovery room (PACU)of restlessness,sedation,blood pressure,SpO2 and extubation time were observed. Results In of midazolam group,the time of anesthesia recovery[(1 8.2 ±1 .9)min],extubation[(32.1 ±3.9)min] and PACU staying[(48.7 ±3.1 )min]were significantly longer compared with the dexmedetomidine group[(1 3.1 ± 2.4)min,(26.5 ±2.2)min and (39.8 ±3.4)min,P =0.023,0.040 and 0.003]and the saline group[(1 2.6 ± 2.3)min,(24.8 ±2.9)min and (38.6 ±4.3)min,P =0.01 7,P =0.023 and P =0.001〗.The postoperative seda-tion scores of dexmedetomidine [(2.3 ±0.2 )points,P =0.025 ]and midazolam group [(2.4 ±0.1 )points,P =0.020]were significantly higher than the saline control group[(1 .1 ±0.5)points].The postoperative agitation score of dexmedetomidine (1 .3 ±0.5)points was lower than midazolam group [(2.5 ±0.5)points,P =0.01 1 ]and the saline control group[(2.4 ±0.6)points,P =0.020].HR and MAP of three groups at 2 min before extubation were observed,in the immediate extubation and at 5 min after extubation,the HR of dexmedetomidine group[(62.7 ± 4.1 )times/min,(67.3 ±3.4)times/min and (63.2 ±4.3)times/min]was significantly delayer than midazolam group [(72.3 ±3.4)times/min,(84.9 ±5.3)times/min and (82.1 ±3.1 )times/min],(P =0.002,P =0.001 and P =0.001 )and the saline control group [(73.6 ±2.9 )times/min,(85.3 ±4.7 )times/min and (83.3 ± 4.5)times/min],(P =0.001 ,P =0.023 and P =0.038)at the three time.In the immediate extubation,the MAP of patients in dexmedetomidine group[(87.3 ±4.2)mmHg)]was lower than midazolam group[(93.1 ±4.3)mmHg, P =0.001 ]and the saline control group[(95.6 ±5.8)mmHg,P =0.001 ].At 5 min after extubation,the MAP of patients in both of dexmedetomidine[(84.5 ±3.1 )mmHg)]and midazolam[(85.1 ±2.9)mmHg]group were lower than that in the saline control group[(92.3 ±4.6)mmHg,P =0.023 and P =0.038〗.Conclusion Dexmedetomi-dine could be one of the ideal drug to relieve emergence agitation in adult patients during recovery period after abdo-men surgery and the curative effect is better than midazolam.

Objective To investigate the regenerating effect of muscle satellite cells autografted onto mus-cles injured by chronic compartment syndrome (CCS). Methods Twenty-four adult rabbits were randomly divided into an experimental group (model-transplantation), a non-graft group (model) and a control group (transplanta-tion). The CCS model was established in the experimental and non-graft groups. Transplantation was done in the ex-perimental and control groups. Satellite cells from the experimental and control group rabbits were isolated and then proliferated in vitro. The specific protein was identified by immnochemistry before engrafting. Then the 4',6-diamidi-no-2-phenylindole-tagged satellite cells were transplanted back to the original soleus muscles. After transplantation,the proliferation and differentiation of the satellite cells in vivo was observed and morphological changes at the site of the injury were compared by HE staining. Results At the 28th day after grafting, the satellite cells from the com-pressed soleus muscles in the experimental group had increased significantly, whereas those in the control group had remained the same. In both the graft group and the non-graft group, HE staining showed a large cluster of myofibers and interstitial fibers necrosed in the compressed muscle, while the skeletal muscle fibers and interstitial fibers were in-tact in the control group. At the 28th day after engrafting, the engrafted muscle showed much repair; but the non-en-grafted muscle demonstrated dominant fibrosis. The morphology of the skeletal muscle in the control group was normal.Conclusions Autografting of muscle satellite cells after a small amount of expansion in vitro could improve their regen-eration efficiency for repairing a large cluster of damaged myofibers caused by chronic compartment syndrome.
