Salvianolic acid A prevented cerebrovascular endothelial injury caused by acute ischemic stroke through inhibiting the Src signaling pathway

Stroke is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by ruptured or blocked blood vessels.For the prevention of ischemic stroke,the coagulation state of blood and cerebrovascular protection should be considered.Our previous study has shown that salvianolic acid A(SAA),which is a water-soluble component from the root of Salvia Miltiorrhiza Bge,prevents thrombosis with a mild inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation.In this study we investigated the preventive effects of SAA on cerebrovascular endothelial injury caused by ischemia in vivo and oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD)in vitro,and explored the underlying mechanisms.An autologous thrombus stroke model was established in SD rats by electrocoagulation.SAA(10 mg/kg)was orally administered twice a day for 5 days before the operation.The rats were sacrificed at 24 h after the operation.We showed that pretreatment with SAA significantly improved the neurological deficits,intracerebral hemorrhage,BBB disruption,and vascular endothelial dysfunction as compared with model group.In human brain microvascular endothelial cells(HBMECs),pretreatment with SAA(10μM)significantly inhibited OGD-induced cell viability reduction and degradation of tight junction proteins(ZO-1,occludin,claudin-5).Furthermore,we found that SAA inhibited the upregulation of Src signaling pathway in vivo and vitro and reversed the increased expression of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs)after ischemic stroke.In conclusion,our results suggest that SAA protects cerebrovascular endothelial cells against ischemia and OGD injury via suppressing Src signaling pathway.These findings show that pretreatment with SAA is a potential therapeutic strategy for the prevention of ischemic stroke.

苯扎溴铵溶液的稳定性观察

目的:评价在常温和0℃下存放的苯扎溴铵(新沽尔灭)的杀茵效果.方法:采用厂家3个批号的苯扎溴铵,分别于常温和0℃下存放24 h.稀释成1:50浓度后,将3种标准菌株置于其中,分别在作用5,10,15,30,60,120 min后取出药液,倾入培养基,置35℃培养箱培养48 h,观察菌株的存活情况.结果:经两种温度、不同时间的菌株培养结果观察,苯扎溴铵的杀菌效果一致,均能快速杀灭3种标准菌株.结论:苯扎溴铵消毒液保存在0℃下,不影响其杀菌效力,只要在保质期内,结冰的消毒液仍可使用,其性能稳定.

Neural circuits and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors mediate the cholinergic regulation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons and nicotine dependence

Midbrain dopaminergic(DA)neurons are governed by an endogenous cholinergic system,originated in the mesopontine nuclei.Nicotine hijacks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors(nAChRs)and interferes with physiological function of the cholinergic system.In this review,we describe the anatomical organization of the cholinergic system and the key nAChR subtypes mediating cholinergic regulation of DA transmission and nicotine reward and dependence,in an effort to identify potential targets for smoking intervention.Cholinergic modulation of midbrain DA systems relies on topographic organization of mesopontine cholinergic projections,and activation of nAChRs in midbrain DA neurons.Previous studies have revealed thatα4,α6,andβ2 subunit-containing nAChRs expressed in midbrain DA neurons and their terminals in the striatum regulatefirings of midbrain DA neurons and activity-dependent dopamine release in the striatum.These nAChRs undergo modification upon chronic nicotine exposure.Clinical investigation has demonstrated that partial agonists of these receptors elevate the success rate of smoking cessation relative to placebo.However,further investigations are required to refine the drug targets to mitigate unpleasant side-effects.
