However, the low survival rate of transplanted bone marrow mesen- chymal stem cells in vivo remains a problem. Neurotrophin-3 promotes motor neuron survival and it is hypothesized that its transfection can enhance the therapeutic effect. We show that in vitro transfection of neurotrophin-3 gene increases the number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the region of spinal cord injury. These results indicate that neurotrophin-3 can promote the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the region of spinal cord injury and potentially enhance the therapeutic effect in the repair of spinal cord injury.展开更多

In this study, we have transfected neurotrophin-3 into Schwann cells cultured in vitro using nanoparticle liposomes. Results showed that neurotrophin-3 was successfully transfected into Schwann cells, where it was expressed effectively and steadily. A composite of Schwann cells transfected with neurotrophin-3 and poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） biodegradable conduits was transplanted into rats to repair 10-mm sciatic nerve defects. Transplantation of the composite scaffold could restore the myoelectricity and wave amplitude of the sciatic nerve by electrophysiological examination, promote nerve axonal and myelin regeneration, and delay apoptosis of spinal motor neurons. Experimental findings indicate that neurotrophin-3 transfected Schwann cells combined with bridge grafting can promote neural regeneration and functional recovery after nerve injury.展开更多

They have also been shown to effectively suppress epileptic seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol in young rats. However, the mechanisms for these roles have been still unclear. OBJECTIVE： To observe the effects in immature rats of acrous gramineus and α -asarone on apoptosis of hippocampal neurons after epileptic seizure at the protein level, and to analyze the mechanism for these effects. DESIGN： A randomized controlled animal experiment. SETTINGS： Department of Pediatrics, First Hospital of Jilin University; Department of Histology and Embryology, Norman Bethune Medical School of Jilin University; Department of Internal Medicine, Children＇s Hospital of Changchun City; Department of Neurology, First Clinical Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University. MATERIALS： Fifty 3-week old Wistar rats, 34-40 g, irrespective of gender, were provided by Gaoxin Research Center of Medical Animal Experiment, Changchun. The animals were treated according to the animal ethical standards. The following chemicals were used for this study： acrous gramineus powders or infusion （Batch No, 0307113, Tianjiang Medicine Company Limited, Jiangyin）, α-asarone tablets （Batch No. 030219, Tianwei Pharmaceutical Factory, Shenyang）, and phenobarbital sodium tablets （Batch No. 020608, Xinya Medicine Company Limited, Shanghai）. The animals were divided into five groups randomly. First, ten rats were chosen as the normal controls. The remaining rats were treated with i.p. injections of pentylenetetrazol to stimulate an epileptic model. METHODS： The experiments were performed at the Neurological Laboratory of the First Hospital of Jilin University between October and December 2004. The rats were treated with i.p. injections of pentylenetetrazol （60 mg/kg） to establish an epileptic model. According to Racine＇ s standard, animals that reached stage 4 and 5 were chosen and randomly divided into 4 groups： model group, phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and a-asarone group. The normal control group was treated with an i.p. injection of physiological saline （0.5 mL）. After modeling, the model groups were intragastrically administrated 0.5 mL saline. The phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α-asarone groups were intragastrically administrated 18 mg/kg/d phenobarbital sodium, 2 350 mg/kg/d acrous gramineus and 29 mg/kg/d α-asarone, respectively. The course of treatment was twice a day for 7 days. The normal group received intragastric administration of 0.5 mL saline at the same time. The rats were sacrificed and brain sections were prepared for light microscopy and electron microscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： （1） Pathological changes of CA1 and CA3 hippocampal region neurons were observed by light microscopy and electronic microscopy. （2） Neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 and CA3 region was measured by TUNEL staining. （3） Bcl-2 and Bax expression in CA1 and CA3 region neurons was detected by immunohistochemistry and a ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was calculated. RESULTS： All 50 immature rats were included in the final analysis. （1） Pathological changes of CA1 and CA3 region hippocampal neurons： there were different pathological changes in all groups other than the normal control group. The number of damaged neurons in the model group was highest. The phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α -asarone group exhibited different degrees of improvement. （2） Neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 and CA3 regions： there were less TUNEL-positive cells in the CA1 and CA3 regions in the normal control group. One week after PTZ-induced seizure, numerous TUNEL-positive cells were detected in the CA1 and CA3 regions in the remaining four groups. There was a significant difference between the normal control group and the remaining four groups （t = 12.089-19.162, P 〈 0.0 1）. The number of TUNEL-positive cells was less in the phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α-asarone groups compared to the model group （t = 4.707-5.268, P 〈 0.01）. （3）Bcl-2 and Bax expression of neurons in the CA1 and CA3 regions： The number of Bcl-2- and Bax-positive cells was less in the normal control group. The Bax-positive cells exhibited a normal shape and had large round nuclei that were predominant. One week after PTZ-induced epilepsy, the number of Bcl-2- and Bax-positive cells in the CA1 and CA2 regions was significantly increased in the remaining four groups compared to the normal control group （t = 11.606-27.042, P 〈 0.01）. The Bax-positive cells exhibited a reduced size and nuclear pyknosis was predominant. However, there was no significant difference among the four groups （P 〉 0.05）. The number of Bcl-2-positive cells in the phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and a-asarone groups were significantly increased compared to the model group （t = 4.051-6.404, P 〈 0.01）. However, the number of Bax-positive cells was not significantly different among the four groups. The ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax expression was approximately 6.0 in the normal controls, 0.7 in the model group, and 1.0 in the remaining three groups. CONCLUSION： Acrous gramineus and a-asarone increased Bcl-2 expression and decreased Bax expression, and also reduced the number of apoptotic hippocampal neurons during PTZ-induced epileptic seizures in immature rats.展开更多

Its effective component has not been known yet, and α-asarone, the major component of the volatile oil extracted from acrous gramineus, has been supposed to play a necessary role in it. OBJECTIVE： To explore the effects of acrous gramimeu and α-asarone on the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation in immature rats, furthermore, attempt to definitize the anticonvulsant effect of α-asarone. DESIGN： A randomized controlled study.SETTINGS： Department of Pediatrics, First Hospital of Jilin University; Department of Histology and Embryology, School of Basic Medical Sciences of Jilin University; Department of Neurology, First Clinical Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University; Department of Internal Medicine, Children＇s Hospital of Changchun City. MATERIALS ： Seventy 3-week immature Wistar rats （either males or females） of 34-40 g were used. Acrous gramimeu （1 g/bag, the content of α-oasarone was 0.046 26%-0.070 16%） with the batch number of 0307113 was provided by Tianjiang Medicine Company Limited, Jiangyin City. α-asarone tablet （60 mg per tablet） with the batch number of 030219 was provided by Tianwei Pharmaceutical Factory, Shenyang City. α-asarone injectable preparation （2 mL per piece） with the batch number of 030105 was provided by Shuanghe Medicine Limited Company, Beijing City. METHODS ： The experiments were carried out in the Neurological Laboratory of the First Hospital of Jilin University between August and October in 2004.① The 70 rats were randomly divided into intragastric subset and intraperitoneal subset. The intragastric subset included four groups of control, phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramimeu and α-asarone; the intraperitoneal subset included three groups of control, phenobarbital sodium and α-asarone. There were 10 rats per group. ② In the intragastric subset, different group was treated with saline （1 mL for each time, phenobarbital sodium （18 mg/kg per day）, acrous gramineu （2 350 mg/kg per day） and α-asarone （29 mg/kg per day） respectively twice every day for 5 days. In the intraperitoneal subset, different group was treated with saline （0.5 mL）, phenobarbital sodium （29 mg/kg） and α-asarone （2.9 mg/kg） respectively. ③ Before and after administration for 5 days in the intragastric subset as well as before and after administration for about 1 hour in the intraperitoneal subset respectively, the rats were given electric stimulation with the NIHOM KOMDEM multifunctional electrophysiological recorder, and the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation of the rats were recorded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation in immature rats were compared. RESULTS： All the rats were involved in the analysis of results. ① Results for intragastric administration： Before intragastric administration, there were no obvious differences in the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation among the groups （P 〉 0.05）. After intragastric administration for 5 days, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious changes in the control group, but those were significantly higher than before administration in the drug administration groups （t=-3.317-7.401, P 〈 0.01）, which were also obviously higher than those in the control group （t=3.027-8.941, P 〈 0.01）, and those in the acrous gramimeu group and α-asarone group were not markedly different from those in the phenobarbital sodium group. ② Results for intraperitoneal injection： Before intraperitoneal injection, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious differences among the groups. After the intraperitoneal injection for 1 hour, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious change in the control group, but those were significantly higher than before administration in the drug administration groups （P 〈 0.01）, which were also obviously higher than those in the control group （t=6.211-7.237, P 〈 0.01; t=4.085-5.633, P 〈 0.05）, and there was no marked difference between α-asarone group and phenobarbital sodium group （P 〉 0.05）.CONCLUSION ： ① As effective anticonvulsants, both acrous gramineu and α-asarone can enhance the reactivity and convulsive threshold of immature rats to electric stimulation. ② As one of the major effective components against convulsion of acrous gramineu, α-asarone is equivalent to phenobarbital sodium.展开更多

Guillain-Barre syndrome （GBS） is an autoimmune disorder of the nervous system, which is mediated by Thl cells. OBJECTIVE： To determine hTL1A expression in peripheral blood T lymphocytes of acute GBS children and the effects of hTL1A on secretion of interferon-γ. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled, neuroimmunological in vitro study was performed at the Central Laboratory of First Hospital of Jilin University, China from November 2005 to November 2007. MATERIALS： Venous blood samples were obtained from 6 healthy donors, aged 6-12 years （all routine blood examination items were normal）, and 6 additional children with acute GBS, aged 6-12 years. The GBS children fell ill within 1 week and were not treated with hormones or immunoglobulin Purified recombinant human soluble tumor necrosis factor-like molecule 1A （rhsTL1A, 1 mg/mL, relative molecular mass 22 000, 6× His tag, soluble form） was supplied by the Central Laboratory of First Hospital of Jilin University, China. METHODS： Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from healthy donors using the standard Ficoll gradient centrifugation and were incubated in 96-well culture plates. The cells were assigned to the following groups： control （2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin）, 2μg/mL phytohemagglutinin ＋ 25, 100 and 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A. T cell proliferation was quantified using the tritiated thymidine （3H-TdR） method. Serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The ratio of hTL1A-positive T cells to CD3-positive T cells in peripheral blood of acute GBS children was determined using flow cytometry. Following in vitro pre-activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by 2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with 400 ng/mL exogenous rhsTLIA. Finally, peripheral blood mononuclear cell-secreted interferon-γlevels were measured by ELISA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The following parameters were measured： rhsTLIA stimulation index to stimulate proliferation of T cells; the serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children; the ratio of hTL1A-positive cells to CD3-positive cells; the levels of interferon-γ secreted by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in acute GBS children, as well as rhsTL1A-stimulated interferon-γ levels. RESULTS： T cell proliferation assay revealed that the stimulation index in each rhsTL1A group was greater than the control group. The stimulation index of the 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A group was the greatest. Serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children were significantly greater than the control group （P 〈 0.05）. The ratio of hTLIA＋ CD3＋ T cells to CD3＋ T cells in acute GBS children was significantly greater than the control group （P 〈 0.01 ）. Phytohemagglutinin stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells to a greater extent than 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A in the acute GBS group, and the secreted interferon-γ levels were significantly increased （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： In T cells pre-activated with 2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin, proliferation was effectively increased with 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A treatment. Expression of hTLIA was increased in activated T cells from peripheral blood of acute GBS children, followed by increased interferon-γ secretion. These mechanisms are considered to be part of the pathological process that induces the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in GBS syndrome.展开更多

OBJECTIVE： To observe therapeutic effect of modified subhibernation therapy （alterative application of five anticonvulsants according to the half life） on status epilepticus in children with severe viral encephalitis （VE）. DESIGN： Contrast observation. SETTING： Department of Pediatrics, the First Hospital of Jilin University. PARTICIPANTS： The participants in present study were 96 patients with severe viral encephalitis including 52 boys and 44 girls who received treatment in the Department of Pediatrics, the First Hospital of Jilin University from February 2000 to March 2006. All children met the diagnostic criteria of Zhufutong Practice Pediatrics （the seventh edition）. Two weeks ago, they ever got upper respiratory infection or enteronitis and so on before the onset, spirit abnormal, behavior disorder, limbs act disorder, vomit, headache, convulsion, nervous system masculine signs such as limbs act disord, autonomic nerve damage manifestation, brain nerve palsy, dysreflexia, meningeal irritation sign, cerebrospinal fluid and electroencephalography （EEG） abnormity. All parents provided the confirmed consent. The patients were randomly divided into control group （n =40） and experimental group （n =56）. METHODS： Patients in the control group received anticonvulsion, ice compress and routine treatment. The convulsion was treated with five drugs： 0.5 mg/kg wintermin and phenergan, respectively, 100 g/L chlorpromazine hydrochloride （0.5 mL/kg）, 5 mg/kg luminal, 0.3 mg/kg ansiolin. When convulsion attacked, those five drugs were given alternatively; however, those were not given if the convulsion did not attack. Children in the experimental group were treated with improved subhibernation therapy based on routine treatment. The dosages of anticonvulsants were as the same as those in the control group. Based on the half life, every drug was alternated every 4-6 hours. In addition, anticonvulsants administrated for 2 successive days whether tic attacked or not. Then the hypnotic was removed gradually. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Therapeutic efficacy, time of disappeared clinical symptoms and physical sign, and security of administration. RESULTS： All the 96 patients were involved in the final analysis. ① Total effective rate and reliability： Total effective rate was higher in the treatment groups than the control group （χ2=5.871 7, P 〈 0.05）. All patients did not have respiratory depression and side effects. ② Time of disappeared clinical symptoms and physical sign： Recovery time of convulsion, fever, headache and vomit was shorter in the treatment group than that in the control group, and there was significant difference （t =17.612 1-34.330 7, P 〈 0.05）; in addition, symptoms of status epilepticus were relieved obviously. Meanwhile, recovery time of paralysis, coma and anepia was shorter in the treatment group than that in the control group, and there was significant difference （t =10.660 8-24.700 8, P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Therapeutic effect of improved subhibernation therapy on status epilepticus induced by severe viral encephalitis is positively and safer.展开更多

In the heterojunction-molecule system, CuO as an “electron capsule” can not only offer more electrons to inject into the surface state energy level of TiO_(2) and consequently bring additional charge transfer, but also improve photogenerated carrier separation efficiency itself due to strong interfacial coupling in the interface of heterojunction, which together boost SERS performance of the heterojunction substrate. As expected,owing to the enhanced charge collection capacity and the improvement of photogenerated carrier separation efficiency derived from internal electric field and strong interface coupling provided in the interface of heterojunction, this substrate exhibits excellent SERS detection sensitivity towards 4-MBA, with a detection limit as low as 1 × 10^(-10)mol/L and an enhancement factor of 8.87 × 10~6.展开更多

文摘Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has been shown to be therapeutic in the repair of spinal cord injury. However, the low survival rate of transplanted bone marrow mesen- chymal stem cells in vivo remains a problem. Neurotrophin-3 promotes motor neuron survival and it is hypothesized that its transfection can enhance the therapeutic effect. We show that in vitro transfection of neurotrophin-3 gene increases the number of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in the region of spinal cord injury. These results indicate that neurotrophin-3 can promote the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the region of spinal cord injury and potentially enhance the therapeutic effect in the repair of spinal cord injury.

文摘Schwann ceils and neurotrophin-3 play an important role in neural regeneration, but the secretion of neurotrophin-3 from Schwann cells is limited, and exogenous neurotrophin-3 is inactived easily in vivo. In this study, we have transfected neurotrophin-3 into Schwann cells cultured in vitro using nanoparticle liposomes. Results showed that neurotrophin-3 was successfully transfected into Schwann cells, where it was expressed effectively and steadily. A composite of Schwann cells transfected with neurotrophin-3 and poly（lactic-co-glycolic acid） biodegradable conduits was transplanted into rats to repair 10-mm sciatic nerve defects. Transplantation of the composite scaffold could restore the myoelectricity and wave amplitude of the sciatic nerve by electrophysiological examination, promote nerve axonal and myelin regeneration, and delay apoptosis of spinal motor neurons. Experimental findings indicate that neurotrophin-3 transfected Schwann cells combined with bridge grafting can promote neural regeneration and functional recovery after nerve injury.

文摘BACKGROUND： α-asarone and acrous gramineus have been shown to play a necessary function in enhancing the reactivity and convulsant threshold to electric stimulation of immature rats. They have also been shown to effectively suppress epileptic seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol in young rats. However, the mechanisms for these roles have been still unclear. OBJECTIVE： To observe the effects in immature rats of acrous gramineus and α -asarone on apoptosis of hippocampal neurons after epileptic seizure at the protein level, and to analyze the mechanism for these effects. DESIGN： A randomized controlled animal experiment. SETTINGS： Department of Pediatrics, First Hospital of Jilin University; Department of Histology and Embryology, Norman Bethune Medical School of Jilin University; Department of Internal Medicine, Children＇s Hospital of Changchun City; Department of Neurology, First Clinical Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University. MATERIALS： Fifty 3-week old Wistar rats, 34-40 g, irrespective of gender, were provided by Gaoxin Research Center of Medical Animal Experiment, Changchun. The animals were treated according to the animal ethical standards. The following chemicals were used for this study： acrous gramineus powders or infusion （Batch No, 0307113, Tianjiang Medicine Company Limited, Jiangyin）, α-asarone tablets （Batch No. 030219, Tianwei Pharmaceutical Factory, Shenyang）, and phenobarbital sodium tablets （Batch No. 020608, Xinya Medicine Company Limited, Shanghai）. The animals were divided into five groups randomly. First, ten rats were chosen as the normal controls. The remaining rats were treated with i.p. injections of pentylenetetrazol to stimulate an epileptic model. METHODS： The experiments were performed at the Neurological Laboratory of the First Hospital of Jilin University between October and December 2004. The rats were treated with i.p. injections of pentylenetetrazol （60 mg/kg） to establish an epileptic model. According to Racine＇ s standard, animals that reached stage 4 and 5 were chosen and randomly divided into 4 groups： model group, phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and a-asarone group. The normal control group was treated with an i.p. injection of physiological saline （0.5 mL）. After modeling, the model groups were intragastrically administrated 0.5 mL saline. The phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α-asarone groups were intragastrically administrated 18 mg/kg/d phenobarbital sodium, 2 350 mg/kg/d acrous gramineus and 29 mg/kg/d α-asarone, respectively. The course of treatment was twice a day for 7 days. The normal group received intragastric administration of 0.5 mL saline at the same time. The rats were sacrificed and brain sections were prepared for light microscopy and electron microscopy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： （1） Pathological changes of CA1 and CA3 hippocampal region neurons were observed by light microscopy and electronic microscopy. （2） Neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 and CA3 region was measured by TUNEL staining. （3） Bcl-2 and Bax expression in CA1 and CA3 region neurons was detected by immunohistochemistry and a ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was calculated. RESULTS： All 50 immature rats were included in the final analysis. （1） Pathological changes of CA1 and CA3 region hippocampal neurons： there were different pathological changes in all groups other than the normal control group. The number of damaged neurons in the model group was highest. The phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α -asarone group exhibited different degrees of improvement. （2） Neuronal apoptosis in the CA1 and CA3 regions： there were less TUNEL-positive cells in the CA1 and CA3 regions in the normal control group. One week after PTZ-induced seizure, numerous TUNEL-positive cells were detected in the CA1 and CA3 regions in the remaining four groups. There was a significant difference between the normal control group and the remaining four groups （t = 12.089-19.162, P 〈 0.0 1）. The number of TUNEL-positive cells was less in the phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and α-asarone groups compared to the model group （t = 4.707-5.268, P 〈 0.01）. （3）Bcl-2 and Bax expression of neurons in the CA1 and CA3 regions： The number of Bcl-2- and Bax-positive cells was less in the normal control group. The Bax-positive cells exhibited a normal shape and had large round nuclei that were predominant. One week after PTZ-induced epilepsy, the number of Bcl-2- and Bax-positive cells in the CA1 and CA2 regions was significantly increased in the remaining four groups compared to the normal control group （t = 11.606-27.042, P 〈 0.01）. The Bax-positive cells exhibited a reduced size and nuclear pyknosis was predominant. However, there was no significant difference among the four groups （P 〉 0.05）. The number of Bcl-2-positive cells in the phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramineus, and a-asarone groups were significantly increased compared to the model group （t = 4.051-6.404, P 〈 0.01）. However, the number of Bax-positive cells was not significantly different among the four groups. The ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax expression was approximately 6.0 in the normal controls, 0.7 in the model group, and 1.0 in the remaining three groups. CONCLUSION： Acrous gramineus and a-asarone increased Bcl-2 expression and decreased Bax expression, and also reduced the number of apoptotic hippocampal neurons during PTZ-induced epileptic seizures in immature rats.

文摘BACKGROUND： The traditional Chinese medicine acrous gramimeus is the dry rhizome of Acrous gramimeus Soland, a kind of Araceae familial perennial herb, which has a sedation action, anticonvulsant and antiepileptic effect. Its effective component has not been known yet, and α-asarone, the major component of the volatile oil extracted from acrous gramineus, has been supposed to play a necessary role in it. OBJECTIVE： To explore the effects of acrous gramimeu and α-asarone on the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation in immature rats, furthermore, attempt to definitize the anticonvulsant effect of α-asarone. DESIGN： A randomized controlled study.SETTINGS： Department of Pediatrics, First Hospital of Jilin University; Department of Histology and Embryology, School of Basic Medical Sciences of Jilin University; Department of Neurology, First Clinical Hospital affiliated to Harbin Medical University; Department of Internal Medicine, Children＇s Hospital of Changchun City. MATERIALS ： Seventy 3-week immature Wistar rats （either males or females） of 34-40 g were used. Acrous gramimeu （1 g/bag, the content of α-oasarone was 0.046 26%-0.070 16%） with the batch number of 0307113 was provided by Tianjiang Medicine Company Limited, Jiangyin City. α-asarone tablet （60 mg per tablet） with the batch number of 030219 was provided by Tianwei Pharmaceutical Factory, Shenyang City. α-asarone injectable preparation （2 mL per piece） with the batch number of 030105 was provided by Shuanghe Medicine Limited Company, Beijing City. METHODS ： The experiments were carried out in the Neurological Laboratory of the First Hospital of Jilin University between August and October in 2004.① The 70 rats were randomly divided into intragastric subset and intraperitoneal subset. The intragastric subset included four groups of control, phenobarbital sodium, acrous gramimeu and α-asarone; the intraperitoneal subset included three groups of control, phenobarbital sodium and α-asarone. There were 10 rats per group. ② In the intragastric subset, different group was treated with saline （1 mL for each time, phenobarbital sodium （18 mg/kg per day）, acrous gramineu （2 350 mg/kg per day） and α-asarone （29 mg/kg per day） respectively twice every day for 5 days. In the intraperitoneal subset, different group was treated with saline （0.5 mL）, phenobarbital sodium （29 mg/kg） and α-asarone （2.9 mg/kg） respectively. ③ Before and after administration for 5 days in the intragastric subset as well as before and after administration for about 1 hour in the intraperitoneal subset respectively, the rats were given electric stimulation with the NIHOM KOMDEM multifunctional electrophysiological recorder, and the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation of the rats were recorded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation in immature rats were compared. RESULTS： All the rats were involved in the analysis of results. ① Results for intragastric administration： Before intragastric administration, there were no obvious differences in the reactivity and convulsive threshold to electric stimulation among the groups （P 〉 0.05）. After intragastric administration for 5 days, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious changes in the control group, but those were significantly higher than before administration in the drug administration groups （t=-3.317-7.401, P 〈 0.01）, which were also obviously higher than those in the control group （t=3.027-8.941, P 〈 0.01）, and those in the acrous gramimeu group and α-asarone group were not markedly different from those in the phenobarbital sodium group. ② Results for intraperitoneal injection： Before intraperitoneal injection, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious differences among the groups. After the intraperitoneal injection for 1 hour, the reactivity and convulsive threshold to the electric stimulation had no obvious change in the control group, but those were significantly higher than before administration in the drug administration groups （P 〈 0.01）, which were also obviously higher than those in the control group （t=6.211-7.237, P 〈 0.01; t=4.085-5.633, P 〈 0.05）, and there was no marked difference between α-asarone group and phenobarbital sodium group （P 〉 0.05）.CONCLUSION ： ① As effective anticonvulsants, both acrous gramineu and α-asarone can enhance the reactivity and convulsive threshold of immature rats to electric stimulation. ② As one of the major effective components against convulsion of acrous gramineu, α-asarone is equivalent to phenobarbital sodium.

文摘BACKGROUND： Human tumor necrosis factor-like molecule 1A （hTL1A） is a strong T helper cell type 1 （Thl） co-stimulator. Guillain-Barre syndrome （GBS） is an autoimmune disorder of the nervous system, which is mediated by Thl cells. OBJECTIVE： To determine hTL1A expression in peripheral blood T lymphocytes of acute GBS children and the effects of hTL1A on secretion of interferon-γ. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING： A randomized, controlled, neuroimmunological in vitro study was performed at the Central Laboratory of First Hospital of Jilin University, China from November 2005 to November 2007. MATERIALS： Venous blood samples were obtained from 6 healthy donors, aged 6-12 years （all routine blood examination items were normal）, and 6 additional children with acute GBS, aged 6-12 years. The GBS children fell ill within 1 week and were not treated with hormones or immunoglobulin Purified recombinant human soluble tumor necrosis factor-like molecule 1A （rhsTL1A, 1 mg/mL, relative molecular mass 22 000, 6× His tag, soluble form） was supplied by the Central Laboratory of First Hospital of Jilin University, China. METHODS： Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from healthy donors using the standard Ficoll gradient centrifugation and were incubated in 96-well culture plates. The cells were assigned to the following groups： control （2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin）, 2μg/mL phytohemagglutinin ＋ 25, 100 and 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A. T cell proliferation was quantified using the tritiated thymidine （3H-TdR） method. Serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The ratio of hTL1A-positive T cells to CD3-positive T cells in peripheral blood of acute GBS children was determined using flow cytometry. Following in vitro pre-activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells by 2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were treated with 400 ng/mL exogenous rhsTLIA. Finally, peripheral blood mononuclear cell-secreted interferon-γlevels were measured by ELISA. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： The following parameters were measured： rhsTLIA stimulation index to stimulate proliferation of T cells; the serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children; the ratio of hTL1A-positive cells to CD3-positive cells; the levels of interferon-γ secreted by peripheral blood mononuclear cells in acute GBS children, as well as rhsTL1A-stimulated interferon-γ levels. RESULTS： T cell proliferation assay revealed that the stimulation index in each rhsTL1A group was greater than the control group. The stimulation index of the 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A group was the greatest. Serum interferon-γ levels in acute GBS children were significantly greater than the control group （P 〈 0.05）. The ratio of hTLIA＋ CD3＋ T cells to CD3＋ T cells in acute GBS children was significantly greater than the control group （P 〈 0.01 ）. Phytohemagglutinin stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells to a greater extent than 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A in the acute GBS group, and the secreted interferon-γ levels were significantly increased （P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： In T cells pre-activated with 2 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin, proliferation was effectively increased with 400 ng/mL rhsTL1A treatment. Expression of hTLIA was increased in activated T cells from peripheral blood of acute GBS children, followed by increased interferon-γ secretion. These mechanisms are considered to be part of the pathological process that induces the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in GBS syndrome.
文摘BACKGROUND： Traditional subhibernation therapy may easily cause complications, such as respiratory depression and hyportension because of application of chlorpromazine hydrochloride and promethazine in a large dosage. OBJECTIVE： To observe therapeutic effect of modified subhibernation therapy （alterative application of five anticonvulsants according to the half life） on status epilepticus in children with severe viral encephalitis （VE）. DESIGN： Contrast observation. SETTING： Department of Pediatrics, the First Hospital of Jilin University. PARTICIPANTS： The participants in present study were 96 patients with severe viral encephalitis including 52 boys and 44 girls who received treatment in the Department of Pediatrics, the First Hospital of Jilin University from February 2000 to March 2006. All children met the diagnostic criteria of Zhufutong Practice Pediatrics （the seventh edition）. Two weeks ago, they ever got upper respiratory infection or enteronitis and so on before the onset, spirit abnormal, behavior disorder, limbs act disorder, vomit, headache, convulsion, nervous system masculine signs such as limbs act disord, autonomic nerve damage manifestation, brain nerve palsy, dysreflexia, meningeal irritation sign, cerebrospinal fluid and electroencephalography （EEG） abnormity. All parents provided the confirmed consent. The patients were randomly divided into control group （n =40） and experimental group （n =56）. METHODS： Patients in the control group received anticonvulsion, ice compress and routine treatment. The convulsion was treated with five drugs： 0.5 mg/kg wintermin and phenergan, respectively, 100 g/L chlorpromazine hydrochloride （0.5 mL/kg）, 5 mg/kg luminal, 0.3 mg/kg ansiolin. When convulsion attacked, those five drugs were given alternatively; however, those were not given if the convulsion did not attack. Children in the experimental group were treated with improved subhibernation therapy based on routine treatment. The dosages of anticonvulsants were as the same as those in the control group. Based on the half life, every drug was alternated every 4-6 hours. In addition, anticonvulsants administrated for 2 successive days whether tic attacked or not. Then the hypnotic was removed gradually. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Therapeutic efficacy, time of disappeared clinical symptoms and physical sign, and security of administration. RESULTS： All the 96 patients were involved in the final analysis. ① Total effective rate and reliability： Total effective rate was higher in the treatment groups than the control group （χ2=5.871 7, P 〈 0.05）. All patients did not have respiratory depression and side effects. ② Time of disappeared clinical symptoms and physical sign： Recovery time of convulsion, fever, headache and vomit was shorter in the treatment group than that in the control group, and there was significant difference （t =17.612 1-34.330 7, P 〈 0.05）; in addition, symptoms of status epilepticus were relieved obviously. Meanwhile, recovery time of paralysis, coma and anepia was shorter in the treatment group than that in the control group, and there was significant difference （t =10.660 8-24.700 8, P 〈 0.05）. CONCLUSION： Therapeutic effect of improved subhibernation therapy on status epilepticus induced by severe viral encephalitis is positively and safer.

文摘In rheumatoid arthritis(RA),the presence of substantial inflammatory macrophages and osteoclasts in joints is known to contribute to the progression of articular inflammation and bone destruction.Herein,we develop a sialic acid-modified tetra malonic acid derivative of C70 fullerene(STMF).STMF possesses inflammation-targeting capability that can effectively impede the differentiation of macrophages and osteoclasts,offering a potential treatment strategy for RA.STMF acts as a mimic of sialyl Lewis x,enabling it to specifically bind with E-selectin,which is overexpressed on inflamed endothelial cells.This selective binding results in a targeted distribution of STMF to inflamed joints,addressing articular in-flammation.Upon uptake by macrophages,STMF demonstrates the ability to effectively eliminate intracellular reactive oxygen species and deactivate the downstream events,thereby suppressing their differentiation into M1-phenotype and osteoclastogenesis.In our experiments using collagen-induced arthritis mouse models,STMF significantly improves paw swelling and redness,mitigates articular inflammation with reduced M1 macrophages,lessens osteoclasts,and repairs bone erosion with neglectable side effects.These findings suggest that STMF has potential as a therapeutic agent for RA,leveraging inflammation-targeting fullerene nanomaterials.

文摘Amphiphilic aminated fullerenes have a broad margin of safety and significant antitumor effects.Herein,we develop a simple and versatile synthesis strategy for tetraamino-[60]fullerene epoxide(C_(60)(NR^(1)R^(2))_(4)O)using C_(60)Cl_(6)as a precursor,which notably reduces the reaction time to less than 1 h while retaining a high yield of over 80%with both cyclic and linear secondary amine substrates even at the gram level.The molecular structure of C_(60)(NR^(1)R^(2))_(4)O is first validated by single-crystal diffraction,and a two-step reaction mechanism comprising nucleophilic substitution of Cl and the oxidative elimination of Cl_(2)is proposed based on experimental verification and density functional theory simulation.A set of water-soluble aminated C_(60)(NR^(1)R^(2))_(4)O was prepared in large quantities,and in vitro antitumor evaluation unveiled the critical role that terminal primary amino moieties of C_(60)(NR^(1)R^(2))_(4)O play in their antineoplastic effects.This work provides an effective synthesis method for aminated C_(60)(NR^(1)R^(2))_(4)O,facilitating the development of fullerene-derived tumor-targeted drugs.

文摘Blackwater(BW),consisting of feces,urine,flushing water and toilet paper,makes up an important portion of domestic wastewater.The improper disposal of BW may lead to environmental pollution and disease transmission,threatening the sustainabie development of the world.Rich in nutrients and organic matter,BW could be treated for resource recovery and reuse through various approaches.Aimed at providing guidance for the future development of BW treatment and resource recovery,this paper presented a literature review of BWs produced in different countries and types of toilets,including their physiochemical characteristics,and current treatment and resource recovery strategies.The degradation and utilization of carbon(C),nitrogen(N)and phosphorus(P)within BW are underlined.The performance of different systems was classified and summarized.Among all the treating systems,biological and ecological systems have been long and widely applied for BW treatment,showing their universality and operability in nutrients and energy recovery,but they are either slow or ineffective in removal of some refractory pollutants.Novel processes,especially advanced oxidation processes(AOPs),are becoming increasingly extensively studied in BW treatment because of their high efficiency,especially for the removal of micropollutants and pathogens.This review could serve as an instructive guidance for the design and optimization of BW treatment technologies,aiming to help in the fulfilment of sustainable human excreta management.

文摘In this paper, CuO/TiO_(2) p-n heterojunction was developed as a new surface enhanced Raman scattering(SERS) substrate to magnify Raman signal of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid(4-MBA) molecule. In the heterojunction-molecule system, CuO as an “electron capsule” can not only offer more electrons to inject into the surface state energy level of TiO_(2) and consequently bring additional charge transfer, but also improve photogenerated carrier separation efficiency itself due to strong interfacial coupling in the interface of heterojunction, which together boost SERS performance of the heterojunction substrate. As expected,owing to the enhanced charge collection capacity and the improvement of photogenerated carrier separation efficiency derived from internal electric field and strong interface coupling provided in the interface of heterojunction, this substrate exhibits excellent SERS detection sensitivity towards 4-MBA, with a detection limit as low as 1 × 10^(-10)mol/L and an enhancement factor of 8.87 × 10~6.
