ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects and mechanism of PR-957 on hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) of newborn rats.Methods:A total of 54 rats aged seven days were recruited and randomly divided into sham operation group, HIBD group and PR-957 intraperitoneal group.HIBD model was established according to modified Rice method.PR-957 group was given intraperitoneal injection PR-957(20 mg/kg) after hypoxic-ischemic.Model group was intraperitoneally injected with equal volume of DMSO.Ligation or hypoxic treatment were not given in sham operation group.HE staining was applied to observe inflammation in cortex.Immunohistochemical analysis was adopted to observe the expression of interleukin(IL)-17 and IL-10 in brain tissue.Western blot was carried out to test the protein level of low molecular poly peptide 7 (LMP7), forkhead box P3(FOXP3), and retinoic acid-recepter-related orphan receptor gamma t(RORγt). The proportion of T helper cells 17(Th17)/Treg was detected by flow cytometry.Results:HE staining displayed that sham operation group brain structure was basically normal, HIBD group revealed significant inflammation in the left cerebral cortex, while some pathological improvement was observed in PR-957 group.Immunohistochemistry: IL-10 positive cells in left cortex of HIBD group [(12.11±3.73)%] were lower than sham operation group[(29.12±3.95)%] and PR-957 group[(22.61±6.59)%], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). IL-17 positive cells in the left cortex of HIBD group [(35.55±4.85)%] were higher than sham operation group [(8.48±2.58)%] and PR-957 group [(19.16±4.31)%], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Western blot: the expression of LMP7 and RORγt in HIBD group (1.01±0.12, 0.71±0.10) were higher than those in sham operation group (0.50±0.10, 0.34±0.07) and PR-957 group (0.65±0.13, 0.54±0.07), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The expression of FOXP3 in HIBD group (0.44±0.10) was lower than sham operation group (0.93±0.07) and PR-957 group (0.68±0.09), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The flow cytometry of peripheral blood: the Th17/Treg ratio of HIBD group (0.66±0.24) was higher than sham operation group (0.20±0.09) and PR-957 group (0.45±0.18), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusion:PR-957 can regulate the immune balance of Th17/Treg cells and reduce the inflammatory in the brain tissues of HIBD newborn rats.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of melatonin (MEL) on the pyroptosis of hippocampus in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD), and the related mechanism.Methods:The animal model of HIBD was established by the modified Rice method.According to the random number table, a total of 105 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats aged 7 days were divided into 7 groups (15 rats in each group): sham operation (Sham) group, model (HIBD) group, MEL treatment group (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway inhibitor (LY294002) treatment group and MEL+ LY294002 group.The hippocampus neuronal morphology and the changes of nissl bodies were observed through HE staining and nissl staining.The mRNA expression levels of Nod-like receptor family 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a card (ASC), Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the left hippocampus of rats were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The protein expression level of the above indexes and the level of phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) were measured by Western blot.Results:Compared with the Sham group, the number of cell layers in hippocampal CA1 region in the HIBD group decreased, the cell arrangement was irregular, and there were less nissl bodies.Besides, the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 (1.98±0.08 vs.0.86±0.13), ASC (1.40±0.12 vs.0.81±0.07), Caspase-1 (1.46±0.10 vs.0.75±0.09), GSDMD (1.35±0.10 vs.0.81±0.10), IL-18 (1.23±0.08 vs.0.23±0.04), IL-1β (1.83±0.09 vs.0.57±0.08) and p-Akt (1.12±0.12 vs.0.54±0.07) in the HIBD group were significant higher than those in the Sham group (all P<0.05). Compared with the HIBD group, there were more cell layers in hippocampal CA1 region of the MEL group (10 mg/kg), the arrangement of cells was more regular, and the number of nissl bodies increased.The mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 (1.04±0.10), ASC (0.91±0.06), Caspase-1 (0.63±0.06), GSDMD (1.01±0.09), IL-18 (0.65±0.05) and IL-1β (0.63±0.10) in the MEL group were statistically significantly lower than those in the HIBD group (all P<0.05). Compared with the MEL group (10 mg/kg), the arrangement of cells in hippocampal CA1 region of the MEL+ LY294002 group was relatively disordered, the nissl bodies declined, the p-Akt protein level (0.87±0.09 vs.1.99±0.27) decreased significantly, and the Caspase-1(p20) protein level (0.85±0.09 vs.0.58±0.09) increased significantly (all P<0.05). Conclusions:MEL may inhibit the hippocampal pyroptosis in neonatal rats with HIBD by activating the Akt signaling pathway, thereby protecting the brain.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of maternal deprivation(MD)on learning and memory ability and hippocampal pathology and nestin expression in rats with hypoxic -ischemic brain damage (HIBD).Methods The models of HIBD SD male rats were established by the method of Rice,and were randomly divided into 2 groups:MD group and control group.In addition,the sham -operation group(sham group)models were established.The MD group rats were separated from their mother 3 hours per day from the second day after modeling to the 21 st postnatal day.After 28 postnatal days,Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the rat models.HE stai-ning was employed to observe the hippocampal pathological change in the rats.Then,the expression of nestin in the hip-pocampus was measured by the method of immunohistochemistry.Results Their body mass changes showed that quali-ty of sham group was higher than that of the control and the MD groups,and quality was improved in the control group, compared with the MD group,and the differences were statistically significant(q =9.860 8,3.880 7,5.980 1 ,all P <0.05).The water maze scores of the MD group in place navigation test and spatial probe test were much lower than that of the control group and the sham group,and the scores of the sham group were higher than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(all P <0.05 ).The findings of HE stain showed that the pathology in the right -sided hippocampus of the sham group was normal and neurons were well -arranged,and that of control group was minimally abnormal,and the neurons were almost arranged orderly and remained normal.While,the pathomorpholo-gy of the MD group was obviously abnormal,the neurons were arranged disorderly,many of the neurons lost.According to the immunohistochemical findings,the number of nestin -positive cells in right -sided hippocampus of the MD group was significantly less than that of the control group,and the number of nestin -positive cells of the sham group was less than that of the MD group,which showed significant differences among the groups(all P <0.05).Conclusions MD aggravated injury to learning and memory ability of neonatal rats with HIBD,and decrease the number of nestin -posi-tive cells of MD markedly,which is not good for the recovery of brain injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the neurodevelopmental outcome prospectively at 18 months of the late preterm infants.Methods Data from 7 584 live born neonates were collected between January and December.2009 in 3 hospitals located in the north of Chengdu City,Sichuan Province were collected,89 late preterm infants were brought into study ; 170 healthy full-term infants were chosen as the controls randomly.Neurodevelopment outcome was assessed by using neonatal behavioral neurological assessment(NBNA) at 40 weeks corrected gestational age,and Bayley scales of infant development was performed to obtain the physical development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) at 3,6,9,12 and 18 months corrected age.Neurodevelopmental outcome of late preterm infants was studied compared with that of the term infants.Results Sixty-three neonates born at the late preterm phase and 115 neonates born at the term phase were successfully followed up.The NBNA scores of the late preterm infants at 40 weeks corrected gestationa] age were significantly lower than those of the term infants.The proportion of the late preterm infants whose scores ≥37 was significantly lower than that of the term infants(82.5％ vs 94.8％),the proportion of late preterm infants whose scores ＜35 was significantly higher than that of the term infants(4.8％ vs 0),the proportion of the late preterm infants whose scores in 35-36 was significantly higher than that of the term infants (12.7％ vs 5.2％,Z =-2.707,P ＜ 0.05) ;At 3,6,9 and 12 months corrected age,the late preterm infants showed a significant lower PDI scores(t =-4.266,-4.594,-5.663,-2.584) and MDI scores (t =-7.121,-7.829,-7.038,-6.002) than those of the term infants(all P ＜0.05).Compared with the term infants,the late preterm infants still had lower MDI scores than the term infants at 18 months corrected age(t =-4.115,P ＜0.05),but no difference was observed in PDI scores between late preterm and the term infants (t =-0.957,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Neurodevelopment outcome of the late preterm infants is delayed in the first year compared with term infants.At 18 months corrected age the mental development is still delayed compared with the term infants.Measures should be taken properly to improve the neurodevelopment of the late preterm infants in the early childhood.
ABSTRACT
Compared with term infants,late preterm infants experience poorer neurodevelopment outcomes such as cerebral palsy,developmental delay,mental retardation,school performance and behavioural problems because of their immature brain,impact of diseases,neonatal care and later education.Case history,early neurodevelopment evaluation,electrophysiology evaluation and neuroimaging evaluation are needed to early identify neurodevelopment disability.Similarly,appropriate intervention such as daily function training,rehabilitation training,psychotherapy,special school education and a long-term evaluation,monitoring and follow-up of late preterm infants are needed to improve human health status.

ABSTRACT
The means of survival of genomic dsRNA of reoviruses from dsRNA-triggered and Dicer-initiated RNAi pathway remains to be defined.The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) replication on the RNAi pathway of grass carp kidney cells (CIK).The dsRNA-triggered RNAi pathway was demonstrated unimpaired in CIK cells through RNAi assay.GCRV-specific siRNA was generated in CIK cells transfected with purified GCRV genomic dsRNA in Northern blot analysis; while in GCRV-infected CIK cells,no GCRV-specific siRNA could be detected.Infection and transfection experiments further indicated that replication of GCRV correlated with the increased transcription level of the Dicer gene and functional inhibition of in vitro synthesized egfp-siRNA in silencing the EGFP reporter gene.These data demonstrated that although only the genomic dsRNA of GCRV was sensitive to the cellular RNAi pathway,unidentified RNAi suppressor protein(s) might contribute to the survival of the viral genome and efficient viral replication.
ABSTRACT
In order to study the angiogenesis in endometriosis, the samples of eutopic and ectopic endometria from patients with endometriosis were quantitatively analyzed by color morphometric image system (CMIS) for vascular surface area, and by examining endometrial blood vessel for microvessel density (MVD). The results showed that within each menstrual phase the vascular surface area and MVD were significantly higher in ectopic endometria with endometriosis than those in eutopic endometria with endometriosis or normal endometrium (P < 0.05). It is concluded that angiogenesis might be involved in the development of endometriosis.

Objective To observe the effects of different environment stimulation on the nestin expression in hippocampus and the ability of learning and memory of rats after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods Rat HIBD models were established by the method of Rice in 45 SD rats, then randomly divided into three groups: standard environment stimulation group (SE), enriched environment stimulation group (EE), and impoverished environment stimulation group (IE). Another 15 rats only underwent sham-operation. Different environment intervention that was designed according to Puurunen and Bourgeon’s literatures was applied to the rats on day 2 after HIBD operation. On day 28, Morris water maze was used to evaluate the ability of learning and memory. Then the nestin expression in the hippocampus was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results The ability of learning and memory of IE group reduced and was much lower than that of sham-operation group, SE group and EE group, that of SE group was lower than that of sham-operation group and EE group, but no significant difference between sham-operation group and EE group. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that nestin expression in the hippocampus of EE group significantly increased as compared with that of other groups and that of SE group was stronger than that of sham-operation group and IE group. Conclusion The EE stimulation could increase the nestin expression in the hippocampus of neonatal rats with HIBD, enhance neuranagenesis, and improve the ability of learning and memory, while the IE stimulation could decrease the nestin expression, inhibit neuranagenesis, and impair the ability of learning and memory.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of early enriched environmental intervention on synaptic ultrastructure and the synaptophysin expression (p38) in hippocampal CA1 area after hypoxia-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) in neonatal rats. Methods The rat model of HIBD was made by the method of Rice in 20 Sprague-Dawley rats, and divided randomly into 2 groups: the intervention group, non-intervention group. Another 10 rats underwent sham-operation as control. From the second day after HIBD, the rats of the intervention group were kept in an enriched environment for 20 d, the rats of non-intervention group and sham-operation group were raised in standard enviroment instead. The hippocampal ultrastructure was observed with electron microscope and the p38 expression was detected immunohistochemically in all rats. Results The ultrastructure of hippocampus CA1 pyramidal neuron in the non-intervention group were distorted as compared with that in the intervention group and control group. The corrected optical densities (COD) of immunoreactive products of the hippocampal p38 were significantly decreased in non-intervention group as compared with intervention group and control group (P0.05). Conclusion Early enriched environment intervention could improve the synaptic reconstruction and reduce the ultrastructural damage induced by hypoxic-ischemia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of enriched environment and impoverished environment on brain function after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD).Methods Three-day-old SD rats,which were divided into enriched environment group(EE),standard environment group(SE) and impoverished environment group(IE) by random digits table were used to establish HIBD model.The sham-operation rats served as control group.Different environment stimulations were administrated to the rats respectively since the 2nd day after HIBD.On the 32nd day,hanging test and incline plane test were carried out to evaluate the sensorimotor function.Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability.The expression of GFAP in the cortex and hippocampus was measured by the method of immunohistochemistry.Results The brain function of IE group was much worse than that of SE group(P0.05).Immunohistochemical analysis showed the expression of GFAP in the cortex and hippocampus of Sham group was significantly lower than that of other groups(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the expression of growth-associated protein-43(GAP-43) in the hippocampus of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD). Methods HIBD was established by the method of Rice in 48 SD rats aged 7 days and another 48 matched normal rats served as control. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were respectively used to detect the expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in all rat hippocampus on day 8, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 after HIBD (n=8 at each time point for each group). Results The expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA in hippocampus was obviously increased in HIBD rats as compared with normal rats, the peak of GAP-43 protein appeared at 3rd week, and the peak of mRNA at 2nd week. Conclusion The expression of GAP-43 protein and mRNA increased in the hippocampus of rats following HIBD, which was possibly related to the recovery of injured hippocampus.
