Long-term treadmill exercise improves spatial memory of male APPswe/PS1dE9 mice by regulation of BDNF expression and microglia activation

Increasing evidence suggests that physical activity could delay or attenuate the symptoms of Alzheimer''s disease (AD). But the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. To investigate the effect of long-term treadmill exercise on the spatial memory of AD mice and the possible role of β-amyloid, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and microglia in the effect, male APPswe/PS1dE9 AD mice aged 4 months were subjected to treadmill exercise for 5 months with 6 sessions per week and gradually increased load. A Morris water maze was used to evaluate the spatial memory. Expression levels of β-amyloid, BDNF and Iba-1 (a microglia marker) in brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Sedentary AD mice and wildtype C57BL/6J mice served as controls. The results showed that 5-month treadmill exercise significantly decreased the escape latencies (P < 0.01 on the 4th day) and improved the spatial memory of the AD mice in the water maze test. Meanwhile, treadmill exercise significantly increased the number of BDNF-positive cells and decreased the ratios of activated microglia in both the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus. However, treadmill exercise did not significantly alleviate the accumulation of β-amyloid in either the cerebral cortex or the hippocampus of the AD mice (P > 0.05). The study suggested that long-term treadmill exercise could improve the spatial memory of the male APPswe/PS1dE9 AD mice. The increase in BDNF-positive cells and decrease in activated microglia might underpin the beneficial effect.     

Functional RelBE-Family Toxin-Antitoxin Pairs Affect Biofilm Maturation and Intestine Colonization in Vibrio cholerae

Toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems are small genetic elements that typically encode a stable toxin and its labile antitoxin. These cognate pairs are abundant in prokaryotes and have been shown to regulate various cellular functions. Vibrio cholerae, a human pathogen that is the causative agent of cholera, harbors at least thirteen TA loci. While functional HigBA, ParDE have been shown to stabilize plasmids and Phd/Doc to mediate cell death in V. cholerae, the function of seven RelBE-family TA systems is not understood. In this study we investigated the function of the RelBE TA systems in V. cholerae physiology and found that six of the seven relBE loci encoded functional toxins in E. coli. Deletion analyses of each relBE locus indicate that RelBE systems are involved in biofilm formation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) resistance. Interestingly, all seven relBE loci are induced under the standard virulence induction conditions and two of the relBE mutants displayed a colonization defect, which was not due to an effect on virulence gene expression. Although further studies are needed to characterize the mechanism of action, our study reveals that RelBE systems are important for V. cholerae physiology.     

下行易化系统及其参与神经病理痛的机制

神经病理痛是指由中枢或外周神经系统损伤或疾病引起的疼痛综合征.神经病理痛是临床上常见的一种疾病,但是其发病机制不甚清楚,临床上也缺乏有效的治疗手段.近年来的研究除了集中于痛觉的上行传导及中枢机制,以及痛觉的下行抑制之外,也证明下行易化系统激活参与神经病理痛的发病机制.本文拟对此进行综述,希望为治疗神经病理痛提供新思路.

Determination of cefaclor in human plasma by a sensitive and specific liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric method

A sensitive and specific liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric method is described for the determination of cefaclor in human plasma. The plasma samples were treated by two sample preparation procedures, i.e. protein precipitation (PPT) and solid-phase extraction (SPE). The pretreated samples were analyzed on a C(18) HPLC column interfaced with a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer. Positive electrospray ionization (ESI) was employed as the ionization source. The analyte and internal standard ampicillin (for PPT) or cefetamet (for SPE) were detected by use of selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The lower limit of quantitation obtained as a result of the PPT procedure was 100 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-run precision, calculated from quality control (QC) samples was less than 12% for cefaclor. The accuracy as determined from QC samples was within +/-3% for the analyte. The SPE procedure could provide the lower limit of quantitation of 2 ng/ml. The precision and accuracy were measured to be below 7.1% and between -3.6% and 1.1%, respectively, for all QC samples. The method was applied for the evaluation of the pharmacokinetic profiles of cefaclor sustained-release formulation.

Genetic differentiation of Pseudoregma bambucicola population based on mtDNA COII gene

mtDNA COII gene sequences were identified and analyzed using different types of software, namely, MEGA5.0, DNAMAN, and DnaSP5.0 in four Chinese provinces, namely, Sichuan, Zhejiang, Guizhou and Shanghai. Analysis of molecular genetic variation and its genetic structure and differentiation, combined with NJ tree, MP tree analysis and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), at Fst = 0.0582 conclude that the genetic differentiation is low, gene flow is Nm = 8.0911, and gene exchange is sufficient. However, for the geographic populations of Pseudoregma bambucicola in the four provinces, their gene exchange is relatively weak at Nm = 0.8284, whereas the genetic differentiation is high at Fst = 0.3764. Based on the data, total nucleotide diversity between the populations is 0.00158 ± 0.00021. The results showed that the total population of Tajima’s D and Fu’s Fs results are D = ?0.885 and Fs = 0.226, respectively. The experimental numerical results showed that this total population is not significant (P > 0.10), indicating that nine different geographic populations are short-term. No expansion occurred in the internal population. This study provided a theoretical and practical basis for the comprehensive prevention and control of P. bambucicola.
