ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Delta-opioid receptor activator DADLE on the expression of the p38 MAPK and the neuronal apoptosis after global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and explore the neuroprotective mechanisms of DADLE.Methods Global cerebral ischmemia-reperfusion models in rats were induced by bilateral common carotid artery occlusion combined with hypotension.Rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=10),ischemia-reperfusion group(n=10) and three treatment groups with different doses of DADLE (2 mg group,3 mg group,5 mg group,n=10).TUNEL method and Western blot analysis were used to measure apoptotic neurons and expression levels of p38 MAPK phosphorylation,repectively.Results DADLE treatment significantly reduced neuron apoptosis (P＜0.05).The expression levels of p38 MAPK were increased in ischemia-reperfusion group than in sham group (P＜ 0.05).In DADLE treated groups,the expression levels of p38 MAPK were dose-dependently decreased compared with the ischemia-reperfusion group.Conclusion Delta-opioid receptor activator DADLE can be neuroprotective against global I/R injury.Attenuation of apoptosis and p38 MAPK signal pathway might be involved in the neuroprotective mechanism of DADLE.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of δ-opioid reperfusion in rats with change in serum protein S-100B level and to explore the neuroprotective effect of DADLE during cerebral resuscitation. Method The model of global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion was induced by bilateral common carol id artery occlusion combined with hypotension. Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham operation group, model group, DADLE pretreated group, DADI.E treated postischemia group, DADLE treatment during reperfusion group ( n = 10 for each group) .In sham operation group,the rats were operated without ischemia and treatment; in model group, rats had global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion model up without any treament; in DADLE pretreated group, rats received DADlE before ischemia; in DADLE treatment postischemia group,rats had DADLE immediately after ischemia; in DADLE treatment during reperfusion group,rats got DADLE during early reperfusion. After the establishment of model, serum protein S-JOOB was measured by using ELlSA.One-way analysis of variance and SNK test were used for comparison between groups. Results The serum protein S-100B level was (475.56±1.93) pg/ml in sham operational group and that was much lower than that in model group and DADLE treatment groups. While the levels of serum protein S-100B in all DADLE treatment groups were reduced significantly in comparison with model group. There were no differences in the levels of serum protein KS-100B between DADLE treatment groups. Conclusions The δ-opioid receptor DADLE exerts neuroprotective effects on global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective Through epidemiological analysis of prehospital trauma care in Guangzhou during 1996～2004,to explore common characteristics and trends of it.Methods The data of the prehospital trauma patient were collected by Guangzhou First Aid Service Command Center from 1996 to 2004 and was prospectively analyzed. Results The number of prehospital care had been increased year by year(increased by 3.56 times in the nine years).The number of the trauma patients had been increased by 7.98 times.Head injury was in the first place(6.86%). Most of casualties fell into the age of 21～40 years old.The male patients were the two times that of female patients.Conclusion Trauma has become an serious problem. The improvement of prehospital emergency network, ability of on-the-spot emergency care and popularizing the knowledge of emergency are key to reduce the casualties.
