Analysis of the role and mechanism of A2AR activation in tau hyperphosphorylation after brain injury / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To study the role and mechanism of A2AR activation in tau hyperphosphorylation after brain injury.Methods SD rats were cultured with no specific pathogen level.SH-SY5Y was cultured.The rats were treated with CGS21680 solution and DMSO and SH-SY5Y respectively.The CGS21680 solution and sb216763, H-89, or Only add ZM241385, the control group plus DMSO, compared with each group tau hyperphosphorylation.Results The phosphorylation level of tau protein in SH-SY5Y cells was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).The phosphorylation level of tau protein in the primary hippocampal neurons of rats was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05).The levels of tau protein phosphorylation in group 2 and group 3 were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05).The expression of tau in group 4 and group 5 was statistically significant (P<0.05)There was no significant difference in phosphorylation level between the two groups.Conclusion A2AR activation can activate kinase A and GSK-3β after brain injury, leading to tau hyperphosphorylation.

Retrospective analysis of 202 pathological autopsy cases in medical dispute / 浙江大学学报·医学版

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the characteristics of autopsies in medical dispute.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data of 202 autopsy cases in medical disputes performed by the Department of Pathology of Jiangxi Medical College from January 2001 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The number of autopsy in medical disputes increased year by year. Neonatal, infant and 30 ≊ 60y were more common age groups in dispute; the gender ratio of male to female was 2:1 and more cases were from hospitals in rural areas. Most medical disputes came from in departments of pediatric, obstetrics and gynecology and general surgery. Death caused by cardiovascular diseases ranked at the first place.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Autopsy is important in medical disputes to define the cause of death and to preserve evidence.</p>

Chemical Elements Burden in Soil of High Prevalence Areas of Birth Defects in Shanxi Province / 环境与健康杂志

Objective To find the chemical elements whose contents are abnormal in the soil of the high prevalence areas of birth defects in Shanxi Province. Methods 131 soil samples were collected from the high and low prevalence areas of birth defects respectively in 2005, the contents of 16 elements were determined with inductively coupled plasma (ICP)machine. The data were analyzed with regression and nonparametric tests. Results The total content of elements in the soil of the high prevalence areas was significantly higher than that of the low prevalence area. Compared with the low prevalence area, in a high prevalence area, the content of Mo, As, Pb, Ni, V and Se in soil was abnormal, Mo, As, Ni and Pb showed a significant relationship to the prevalence rate of birth defects, in another high prevalence area, the content of Sn, Se, Mo, Zn, Sr, Pb, Ni, Fe, V, Ca, Cu, Al, Mg and Na was abnormal, Pb, Mg, Ca, Al and Zn showed a significant relationship to the prevalence rate of birth defects. Conclusion Maybe the abnormal content of Mo, As, Ni, Pb, Mg, Ca, Al and Zn in the soil is one of the risk factors for birth defects.
