Magnetic resonance imaging and single-photon emission computed tomography changes in hypoglycemia-induced chorea.

We present two case studies, one of generalized chorea and one of hemichorea, both after severe hypoglycemia episodes. Both cases showed hyperperfusion in their SPECT scans. The MRI and SPECT findings serve as clues regarding the role of basal ganglion dysfunction associated with chorea.

胰岛素增敏剂曲格列酮对人卵巢颗粒细胞芳香化酶活性的抑制作用

为探讨曲格列酮(troglitazone,TGZ)对人卵巢颗粒细胞芳香化酶(P450arom)活性的调节作用，以不同剂量的TGZ和(或)维甲酸类X受体(RXR)激动剂(LG100268，LG)处理来源于体外受精患者的卵巢颗粒细胞24h，然后测定细胞的芳香化酶活性和P450arom mRNA水平。结果发现，TGZ处理颗粒细胞24h可引起剂量依赖性的芳香化酶活性下降；LG单独作用可以抑制芳香化酶活性，但与TGZ合用对芳香化酶的抑制作用更明显；RT-PCR结果显示，随着芳香化酶活性的下降，P450arom mRNA表达水平也降低。表明TGZ可能是通过过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)：RXR异二聚体组成的核受体系统直接抑制卵巢颗粒细胞芳香化酶活性。

Potential contribution of nuclear factor-kappaB to cerebral vasospasm after experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage in rabbits.

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a key role in inflammation, which is involved in the development of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). In the present study, we assessed the potential role of NF-kappaB in regulation of cerebral vasospasm. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity was measured in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) treated with hemolysate and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC, 80 micromol/L), an inhibitor of NF-kappaB. Forty-two rabbits were divided into three groups: control, SAH, and PDTC groups (n=14 for each group). The caliber of the basilar artery was evaluated. Nuclear factor-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of cytokines and adhesion molecules in the basilar artery were measured. Immunohistochemical study was performed to assess the expression and localization of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, and myeloperoxidase (MPO). It was observed that NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity was significantly increased by treatment with hemolysate in cultured VSCMs, but this increase was suppressed by pretreatment with PDTC. Severe vasospasm was observed in the SAH group, which was attenuated in the PDTC group. Subarachnoid hemorrhage could induce increases of NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity and the gene expression levels of TNF-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1 beta, ICAM-1, and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, which were reduced in the PDTC group. Immunohistochemical study demonstrated that the expression levels of TNF-alpha, ICAM-1, and MPO were all increased in the SAH group, but these increases were attenuated in the PDTC group. Our results suggest that NF-kappaB is activated in the arterial wall after SAH, which potentially leads to vasospasm development through induction of inflammatory response.
