ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of therapeutic exercise(cage running)on the expression of Bel-2 and Bax in neuronal cells after cerebral hemorrhage(ICH)in rats. Methods A total of 120 male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 270 to 300 g were divided into a trial group(ICH and exercise group,n=40),a control group (ICH only,n=40)and a sham-operated group(sham ICH operation and no exercise,n=40).The brains were removed at 7,14,21 and 28 days after ICH.The activation of Bcl-2 and Bax WaS measured by immunohistochemical techniques,Western blotting and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results (1)Bel-2-positive and Bax-positive cells appeared in tissues surrounding the hematoma in the cortex.The number of Bcl-2-posotive and Bax-positive cells was nearly zero in the sham-operated group.In the trim group.the number of Bcl-2-positive cells increased significantly from the 21 st to the 28th day.Bax.positive cells decreased from the 7th to the 28th day after ICH when compared with the control group and the sham-operated group.(2)The expression of Bcl-2mRNA and Bax-mRNA as shown by Western blotting and RT-PCR methods was synchronous with the immunohistochemistry results.The peaks of Bcl-2mRNA and BaxmRNA expression were a little earlier than those of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins. Conclusion Exercise can mitigate neuronal cell apoptosis by upregulating the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2 mRNA,and downregulating the expression of Bax and Bax mRNA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of physical factors and promotion canalization on closed injury of brain.Method 68 cases of closed injury of brain were given the comprehensive rehabilitation therapy with many physical factors and promoting canalization technique.Result The patients' consciousnesses were significantly improved after treatment.The motorial function of hemiplegic limbs was distinctly improved(P< 0.05).The balance functions were distinctly improved(P< 0.001).The activities of daily living abilities were significantly improved(P< 0.05).Conclusion The physical factors and promoting canalization treatment on the closed injury of brain are functionally effective.
ABSTRACT
Invasion and metastasis are the most important characteristic of malignant tumors,and is the direct reason of the high mortality rate. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix, a central element of tumor invasion and metastasis, so it is important to discuss the mechanism of MMPs′ release and activation for invasion and metastasis of malignant tumor.
