Role of candesartan against cerebral ischemia and oxidative damage in normotensive rats

Objective Angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) contributes to modulating blood pressure by stimulation of Ang Ⅱ AT1 receptors. We devised a rat transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model to assess whether oxidative damage is decreased after pretreatment with Angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor blocker (ARB). Methods After 2 weeks pretreatment with ARB 0. 5 and 1 mg/kg, the male Wister rats were subjected to 2 h middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). At 24 h, the lumen diameter of middle cerebral artery, the plasma level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and HIF-1 a levels were recorded and compared. Results After pretrcatment with ARB 0.5 and 1 mg/kg, blood pressure did not significantly change compared with that of controls. In the group of candesartan at 1 mg/(kg· day), the lumen diameter was significantly increased compared to that in control group [(86.0±5.0) μm vs. (69.0± 2.1) μm; P<0. 01, n = 6- 8]. The plasma 8-OHdG levels of ARB pretreatment groups were decreased. In immunohistochemical findings, 8-OHdG- and HIF-1α-containing cells in ARB pretreatment groups were decreased. Conclusion Brain ischemia and oxidative damage can be reversed by AT1 receptor blockade in normotensive rats after transient cerebral artery occlusion.     

The changes of neuronal activity of the zone incerta in a rodent model of Parkinson＇s disease

Objective To study the changes in neuronal activity of the zone incerta (ZI) following the unilateral lesion of the nigrostriatal pathway. Methods Eiectrophysiological recordings of ZI neurons were made in normal rats and in two groups of rats at different time intervals after injection of 6-hydrodopamine (6-OHDA) into the pars compacta of snbstantia nigra by extracellular recording in vivo. Results The results showed a significant increase in the mean firing rate of ZI during the second and fourth weeks after 6-OHDA lesion [-n=32, (3.6±2. 2)Hz, P<0.001; n=35, (9.3±6.6)Hz, P<0. 001, respectively] compared to that of normal rats [n=39, (9.2±5.2)Hz]. However, no significant change was observed between two groups of 6-OHDA-lesioned rats. With regard to firing pattern, 7.7%(3/39) of ZI neurons discharged regularly, 82.1% (32/39) irregularly and 10. 3% (4/39) in bursts in normal rats. During the second week after 6-OHDA lesion, the regular, irregular and bursting firing neurons recorded in the ZI were 9.4% (3/32), 59. 4% (19/32) and 31.3% (10/32), and during fourth week, the regular, irregular and bursting firing neurons were 14.3% (5/35), 57.1% (20/35) and 28. 6% (10/35), respectively. The firing pattern of the neurons in the three different groups did not change significantly. Conclusion These results suggest that the firing rate of ZI neurons in 6-OHDA-lesioned rats is increased significantly, which may contribute to the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease.

目的探讨葡萄胎中Mel-CAM与滋养细胞黏附、浸润之间的关系以及Mel-CAM标记中间型滋养细胞(IT)的增殖情况。方法采用双重免疫组化法,检测Mel-CAM标记IT的Ki-67表达情况。结果葡萄胎中Mel-CAM表达较正常绒毛明显增高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);葡萄胎绒毛表面有Mel-CAM标记IT出现,而正常绒毛表面则无;葡萄胎组织中IT的Ki-67指数较正常绒毛明显增高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论葡萄胎绒毛表面有Mel-CAM表达,表现出双重分化方向,这可能与葡萄胎的发病机制有关;检测葡萄胎组织中IT的Ki-67指数对于预测葡萄胎的转归有潜在的价值。

目的研究七叶皂苷钠(sodium β-aescin)对大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注后基质金属蛋白酶-9(matrix metallopro-teinase-9,MMP-9)和层黏连蛋白(laminin,LN)表达影响,为深入探讨七叶皂苷钠对脑的保护机制提供实验依据。方法制备大鼠局灶性脑缺血再灌注模型,随机分为正常组、假手术组、缺血再灌注组和缺血再灌注七叶皂苷钠治疗组,后两组又分为缺血2h后再灌注3、6、12、24、72h和7d,共6个时间点,每时间点4只;用免疫组织化学法和图像分析观察其缺血区LN和MMP-9的表达变化。结果缺血再灌组MMP-9在神经元的表达于再灌注6h开始增加,12h达高峰,24h又降低,7d最低,治疗组MMP-9于再灌注同一时相有显著减少;LN在微血管的表达于再灌注12h明显减少,24h时达低峰,72h开始回升,治疗组在同一时相LN表达显著增多。结论MMP-9与LN可能参与脑血管源性脑水肿的形成发展,缺血再灌注早期七叶皂苷钠治疗通过减少MMP-9的表达,增加LN的表达对缺血再灌注脑起保护作用。     

Singular perturbation composite control of a free-floating flexible dual-arm space robot

The Free-floating Flexible Dual-arm Space Robot is a highly nonlinear and coupled dynamics system. In this paper, the dynamic model is derived of a Free-floating Flexible Dual-arm Space Robot holding a rigid payload. Furthermore, according to the singular perturbation method, the system is separated into a slow subsystem representing rigid body motion of the robot and a fast subsystem representing the flexible link dynamics. For the slow subsystem, based on the second method of Lyapunov, using simple quantitative bounds on the model uncertainties, a robust tracking controller design is used during the trajectory tracking phase. The optimal control method is designed in the fast subsystem to guarantee the exponential stability. With the combination of the two above, the system can track the expected trajectory accurately, even though with uncertainty in model parameters, and its flexible vibration gets suppressed, too. Finally, some simulation tests have been conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
