1986年Reimer等发现,间断的短暂缺血对后续的长时间缺血非但不产生累积损伤效应,反而起一定的保护效应.Murray等经研究证实了这一结果,并首次提出了"缺血预处理"的概念.嗣后,人们对缺血预处理的机制进行了广泛研究,并证实缺血预处理后机体释放内源性信号物质,通过一些中介物的介导从而产生保护作用.现从信号转导的角度对脑缺血预处理保护作用的分子机制综述如下.
The clinical manifestations of drug-induced neuromuscular diseases are different with the types of drugs and the pathogenesis of which involved the direct toxic effects of drugs, dysimmunity, protein synthesis blocked and impaired mitochondrial function. Since drug-induced neuromuscular diseases can be cured, early diagnosis and treatment can directly affect the prognosis. It is necessary to raise the clinical awareness of drug-induced neuromuscular disease.
Many drugs can induce cognitive impairment. The affect of drug-induced cognitive impairment may be related to the dosage and the period of drug treatment. The recognization of the relationship between drugs and cognitive impairment is helpful to rational administration of drugs.

Objective To explore the effect of intravenous injection of xeno-isotype bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) on the cholinergic system of the hippocampus formation in Vascular Dementia(VaD) rats.Methods MSCs isolated and expanded in vitro were labelled with BrdU.Rats received permament bilateral carotid arteries ligation to establish VaD models and randomly divided into three groups.Group A: Rats were intravenously injected 3×106 MSCs at the fourth week after ligation;Group B: Rats were intravenously injected vehicle(PBS) at the same time;Group C: Sham group.BrdU labelled MSCs were observed by immuno-fluorescence and the activity of AChE and ChAT were tested at the fourth week after injection.Results BrdU-labelled MSCs were found in the hippocampus at the fourth week after intravenous injection.The activity of AChE and ChAT significantly increased in the hippocampus of rats in group A compared with group B(P0.05),although that in both of the groups significantly decreased compared with group C(P0.05).Conclusions MSCs improved the activity of cholinergic system in the hippocampus of VaD rats.
PURPOSE:To determine the influence of tanshinone on the levels of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the brain of an Alzheimer's Disease (AD) rat model and on its potential therapeutic mechanism.METHODS:100 Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three groups: control group, model group and tanshinone treatment group. 10 microg A beta 1-42 was injected bilaterally into the dorsal lateral region of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus of rats in the model and tanshinone treatment groups to prepare the AD models. 24h after modeling, tanshinone, 50mg/kg, was administered by gastric perfusion to rats in the tanshinone treatment group. Later, immunohistochemical assay and Western blot analysis were used to detect expression of neuronal NOS (nNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) in the rat hippocampus. Activity of AChE in each subregion (CA1 approximately CA4) of rats' hippocampus was determined by a histochemical technique.RESULTS:Expression of nNOS in the model group was down-regulated whereas iNOS was up-regulated. After A beta 1-42 injection, the number of AChE positive fibers in each subregion (CA1 approximately CA4) of the hippocampus was decreased compared with controls. With tanshinone administration, the changes were improved to varying degrees.CONCLUSION:Tanshinone modulates AChE and NOS proteins concentrations in the hippocampus of AD rats. This may have therapeutic potential in AD rats.

Aim: To observe the changes in neuronal survival ability, protein expression and activity of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) in hippocampus cultured primarily exposed to hypoxia environment. Methods: The experiment was carried out in the Experimental Animal Center of Second Military University of Chinese PLA from January to December 2005. Neurons from the hippocampus of 14-18 day rat fetuses were cultured for 8-10 days, and then exposed to hypoxia environment for culture for 12, 24 and 36 hours, respectively. The survival ability of neurons was measured in a darkroom with micropore reader at 590 nm; cdk5 protein level was estimated with Western blot methods and the activity of cdk5 was estimated for three times. Results: Compared with the normal group, the survival ability of hippocampus neurons exposed to hypoxia environment was decreased significantly from 12 hours [(1.01±0.14), (0.77±0.15); (0.98±0.12), (0.68±0.11); (0.95±0.11), (0.61±0.08); P < 0.01], and the expression of cdk5 protein level in the hypoxia group was decreased significantly [(1.67± 0.19), (0.82±0.08), (1.54±0.13), (0.75±0.06); (1.49±0.13), (0.70±0.11); P < 0.01], while the activity of cdk5 was increased remarkably [(1.76, 3.56); (1.84, 4.29); (1.95, 6.04); P < 0.01]. Conclusion: Hypoxia could cause hippocampus injury, which may be related with the increased level of cdk5 activity.
