Apolipoprotein Serum Amyloid A in Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the tissue deposition of beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) in the brain. Recent studies have shown apoproteins (apo) in amyloid plaques and associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Western blot analysis revealed that serum amyloid A (apoSAA) protein was present in control and AD patients at low levels compared to apoE and apoA-I, however, AD brains showed a significant increase over control values. Analysis of CSF-HDL from control and AD individuals showed that apoA-I, apoE and apoSAA were on the particle. Immuno-cytochemical analysis showed that SAA was detected in senile plaques in AD tissue, but was predominantly localized to neuritic plaques. ApoE staining of AD brain confirmed that most plaques contained the apoprotein, similar to Abeta immunoreactivity, whereas apoA-I expressed little staining of senile plaques. No significant differences were detected in the level of apoSAA when compared to APOE genotype in AD samples, suggesting that interactions with apoE were non-specific. These data imply that the specific interactions of SAA with Abeta in the neuritic plaques may play a role in AD.     

Rapid induction of cytokine gene expression in the lung after single and fractionated doses of radiation

PURPOSE: To investigate cytokine gene expression in the lung after single and fractionated doses of radiation, and to investigate the effect of steroids and the genetic background. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression of cytokine genes (mTNF-alpha, mIL-1alpha, mIL-1beta, mIL-2, mIL-3, mIL-4, mIL-5, mIL-6, mIFN-gamma) in the lungs of C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6J mice was measured by RNase protection assay at different times after various doses of radiation. The effects of dexamethasone and fractionated radiation treatment on gene expression were also studied. RESULTS: IL-1beta was the major cytokine induced in the lungs of C3H/HeJ mice within the first day after thoracic irradiation. Radiation doses as low as 1 Gy were effective. Responses to 20 Gy irradiation peaked within 4-8h and subsided by 24 h. With the exception of IL-1alpha and TNF-alpha, the other cytokines that were investigated had undetectable pre-treatment mRNA levels and were not radiation inducible. Similar responses were seen in C57BL/6J mice, although TNF-alpha was induced and there were some quantitative differences. Pre-treatment of C3H/HeJ mice with dexamethasone reduced basal and induced IL-1 levels, but complete inhibition was not achieved. Dexamethasone was also effective if given immediately after irradiation. Fractionated daily doses of radiation (4 Gy/day) helped to maintain cytokine gene expression for a longer period. CONCLUSIONS: Inflammatory genes are rapidly induced in the lung by irradiation. This response cannot be readily abolished by steroid pre-treatment. Fractionated treatment schedules help to perpetuate the response.     

Effect of magnolol on in vitro mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and isolated cold-preserved warm-reperfused rat livers

BACKGROUND/AIM: A mechanism suggested to cause injury to preserved organs is the generation of oxygen free radicals. Lipid peroxidation is one of the biological damages caused by oxygen free radicals. It is our aim to investigate whether magnolol, a strong antioxidant, suppresses the generation of oxygen free radicals and improves the viability of cold-preserved warm-reperfused rat livers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vitro lipid peroxidation was induced in rat hepatic mitochondria with ADP and FeSO4. The inhibitory effect of magnolol on lipid peroxidation was measured with oxygen consumption and malondialdehyde (MDA) formation. Subsequently, we preserved and reperfused rat livers in preservation solutions that contained magnolol. The hepatic enzymes and liver MDA were measured to assess the protective effect of magnolol on isolated rat livers. RESULTS: In rat hepatic mitochondria, magnolol was 470 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol in inhibiting oxygen consumption and 340 times more potent than alpha-tocopherol in inhibiting MDA formation. Addition of magnolol to Ringer's lactate solution had a protective effect, in terms of MDA formation and leakage of hepatic enzymes, on warm-reperfused but not cold-stored liver tissue. Addition of magnolol to University of Wisconsin (UW) solution, a widely used preservation solution, did not modify the effect of this solution on isolated liver tissues. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that magnolol is an effective antioxidant and suppresses lipid peroxidation in rat liver mitochondria and can be used as a rinsing solution in protecting transplanted organs from lipid peroxidation during reperfusion, especially for those organs not preserved with UW solution.     

No association between an intronic presenilin-1 gene polymorphism and schizophrenia in a Chinese population

We investigated the association between schizophrenic psychosis and an intronic polymorphism of the presenilin-1 (PS1) gene in a Chinese population. Schizophrenic and control groups had similar PS1 genotype distributions and allele frequencies, indicating that this polymorphism may not be involved in the development of schizophrenia.     

Fatal hyperkalemia during rapid and massive blood transfusion in a child undergoing hip surgery--a case report

We report a girl who developed severe and fatal hyperkalemia following rapid and massive blood transfusion during surgery. She was 7-year-old, 20-kg in weight, and received wide resection of the femoral bone with custom prosthesis implant because of malignant femoral osteosarcoma. During the procedure, bleeding was active and profuse and amounted to about 3,000 mL in 4 h, eventuating in shock. Despite rapid transfusion with 15 units of packed red blood cells (RBC) still she remained hypotensive and hypovolemic. When we switched to give her whole blood, actually 100 mL having been given, widening of QRS complex followed immediately by cardiac arrest developed. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation although started at once was unsuccessful. At this juncture, arterial blood gas analysis showed acidosis and severe hyperkalemia (10.3 mmol/L), possibly resulting from transfusion of blood of older storage. The case reminded us once again the importance and necessity of the use of potassium-low blood component (fresh, saline-washed RBCs) in case of massive and rapid blood transfusion especially in pediatric patients with hypovolemia and low cardiac output.

神经元烟碱乙酰胆碱受体受阻滞所致早老型痴呆动物模型的建立

海马区内注射Ｋ－银环蛇毒素（Ｋ－ＢＧＴ）可造成小鼠学习记忆明显障碍,以建立早老性痴呆（ＡＤ）患者学习记忆缺损模型。对小鼠的损害作用随Ｋ－ＢＧＴ剂量增加而明显增加。水迷宫多项指标测试结果表明,Ｋ－ＢＧＴ损害组小鼠与对照组小鼠相比,空间学习和记忆能力显著下降。明暗回避反应实验结果也表明,Ｋ－ＢＧＴ损害小鼠潜伏期明显缩短,错误次数增多;两种检测方法均表明Ｋ－ＢＧＴ可导致小鼠学习记忆明显障碍,而且这种损害具有持久的作用。
