Abstract:Objective To study the expressions of adenosine and serotonin (5-HT)-related genes in the preoptic anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) of rats with habenular lesions and with zolpidem treatment and to explore the effect of the habenular nucleus in the sleep-promoting regulation of the PO/AH.Methods Both a rat model with habenular lesion and a hypnotic-treated rat model were established by passing a DC current or by infusing with zolpidem into the stomach and then the rats were divided randomly into habenular sham group,habenular lesion group,vehicle group and zolpidem group.The mRNA levels of adenosine and 5-HT-related genes were examined by RT-PCR in the PO/AH.Results Compared with sham group,only the mRNA expression level of adenosine kinase in the PO/AH had a little increase in habenular lesion group (P> 0.05).However,the expressions of adenosine A1 receptor and 5-HT-related genes (tryptophan hydroxylase and 5-HT2A receptor) were significantly up-regulated in the PO/AH of habenular lesion group (P< 0.05).Compared with vehicle group,the mRNA expression levels of 5-HT-related genes were obviously diminished in the PO/AH of zolpidem-treated rats. Adenosine kinase expression was not statistically decreased (P> 0.05),but adenosine A1 receptor expression just had slight up-regulation in zolpidem group (P> 0.05).Conclusion Habenular nucleus has a regulatory effect on the sleep-promoting PO/AH and its effect is performed by the pathways of adenosine and 5-HT in this process.

Abstract ( 959 )   PDF (2538KB) ( 479 )  

Abstract:Objective To explore the mechanism underlying Prohibitin 2 (PHB2)-mediated repression on myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) and facilitate the study of the role of PHB2 in other MEF2 positive cells. Methods Using lipofectamin transfection method, Hela cells were co-transfected with plasmid expressing PHB2 and MEF2 and luciferase reporter plasmid. 36 h after transfection, the recombinant proteins were tested with Western blotting and the activity of luciferase was measured with luminator in the supernatant of cell lysis.  Results Compared with the cells without PHB2 transfection, the inhibitory fold of co-transfected PHB2 on MEF2-dependent expression of luciferase was 0.28(P<0.01) and proportional to the amount of PHB2 expression. The activation fold of MEF2 transactivation domain on the expression of luciferase was 2.24±0.21 when co-transfected with PHB2, while it was 9.53±1.06 without PHB2 (P<0.01). Upon the treatment of TSA, the inhibitor for histone deacetylase (HDAC), the inhibitory fold of co-transfected PHB2 on MEF2 was changed from 0.38 to 0.98(P<0.01). Conclusion PHB2 represses the transcriptional activity of MEF2 by specifically acting on its transctivation domain and through HDAC to mediate the repression, but independently on MyoD and DNA binding activity of MEF2.

Abstract ( 958 )  

Abstract:Objective To elucidate the relationship between mandibular lateral displacement and mandible asymmetry by observing the morphological changes of condylar head and mandible during mandibular lateral displacement in growing rats. Methods Forty-eight male Wistar rats at the age of four weeks were divided at random into experimental and control groups, with 24 rats in each group. A super-hard resin plate was cemented to upper incisors to displace rat mandibles 2 mm to the left during closure (Ipsilateral side). A metal crown was fitted to lower incisors. The rats were killed 2, 4, 8 or 12 weeks after appliance attachment. The mandible was dissected out and halved. The length and width of condylar head were measured with a caliper. Radiographic films of the mandibles were exposed, and selected measurements were made.
Results The length of condylar cartilage on the ipsilateral side was significantly larger than contralateral side in experimental group(P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between two sides for the width of condylar cartilage. The experimental rats developed an asymmetric mandible, significantly shorter in horizontal dimension but longer in the vertical dimension on the ipsilateral side(P<0.05). The growth direction of mandible was also affected in experimental group with a more forward and upward growth on ipsilateral side. Conclusion The different shape of condylar cartilage and growth direction of mandible induced by mandibular lateral displacement on bilateral sides can be ascribed to the asymmetry of mandibular bone on two sides.

Abstract ( 757 )  

Abstract:Objective
To investigate and analyze the  prevalence rate and related risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) in order to explore the relationship between MS and dietary intake  in  Shuixigou Kazak people in Urumqi County Town of Xinjiang. Methods Using epidemiological investigation methods combined with laboratory test, the  dietary intake and body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and other clinical indicators related to MS in 131 persons were detected and the  related morbidity and risk factors were analyzed. Results The  Karaka’s dietary structure was imbalance (low fruits and vegetables intake, and high salt intake). The  prevalence rate of MS was 31.7%, of which 48.0% for men and 24.6% for women, there was a significant difference between men and women (P<0.05). The prevalence rate of MS-related clinical indicators, such as WC, HBP and L-HDL-C were highest (56.92%, 53.66% and 69.51%). Conclusion  Urumqi residents of the Karaka regions exist irrational dietary pattern; the  prevalence rate of MS is relatively high and increased with aging and has a serious threat to life and health. The reason may be low intake of fruits and vegetables, high intake of salt, meat and animal fat intake, and the people have smoking and drinking habits. MS prevention should be focused on the people under 40-year-old and early MS can be found through a physical examination,which  has a great significance in  prevention and treatment of MS and reduction of  the occurrence.
