However, whether valproic acid can exert its beneficial effect on neurons after brachial plexus avulsion injury is currently unknown. In this study, brachial plexus root avulsion models, established in Wistar rats, were administered daily with valproic acid dissolved in drinking water(300 mg/kg) or normal water. On days 1, 2, 3, 7, 14 and 28 after avulsion injury, tissues of the C5–T1spinal cord segments of the avulsion injured side were harvested to investigate the expression of Bcl-2, c-Jun and growth associated protein 43 by real-time PCR and western blot assay. Results showed that valproic acid significantly increased the expression of Bcl-2and growth associated protein 43, and reduced the c-Jun expression after brachial plexus avulsion.Our findings indicate that valproic acid can protect neurons in the spinal cord and enhance neuronal regeneration following brachial plexus root avulsion.展开更多

The c axis orientation ratio of the films is 68%. Dielectric constant and loss factor at 10 kHz is about 4.023 F/m and 0.003, respectively. The refractive indices of the films, n e and n o, are 1.657 3 and 1.627 8 at 0.63 μm wavelength, respectively. The optical band gap of the film with a thickness of 2.33 μm is found to be 3.06 eV.展开更多
