The upregulation of glial glutamate transporter-1 participates in the induction of brain ischemic tolerance in rats.

Glial glutamate transporter-1 (GLT-1) plays an essential role in removing glutamate from the extracellular space and maintaining the glutamate below neurotoxic level in the brain. To explore whether GLT-1 plays a role in the acquisition of brain ischemic tolerance (BIT) induced by cerebral ischemic preconditioning (CIP), the present study was undertaken to observe in vivo changes in the expression of GLT-1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the CA1 hippocampus during the induction of BIT, and the effect of dihydrokainate (DHK), an inhibitor of GLT-1, on the acquisition of BIT in rats. Immunohistochemistry for GFAP showed that the processes of astrocytes were prolonged after a CIP 2 days before the lethal ischemic insult, which could protect pyramidal neurons in the CA1 hippocampus against delayed neuronal death induced normally by lethal ischemic insult. The prolonged processes extended into the area between the pyramidal neurons and tightly surrounded them. These changes made the pyramidal layer look like a 'shape grid'. Simultaneously, the prolonged and extended processes showed a great deal of GLT-1. Western blotting analysis showed significant upregulation of GLT-1 expression after the CIP, especially when it was administered 2 days before the subsequent lethal ischemic insult. Neuropathological evaluation by thionin staining showed that DHK dose-dependently blocked the protective role of CIP against delayed neuronal death induced normally by lethal brain ischemia. It might be concluded that the surrounding of pyramidal neurons by astrocytes and upregulation of GLT-1 induced by CIP played an important role in the acquisition of the BIT induced by CIP.

The CLDN5 locus may be involved in the vulnerability to schizophrenia.

The present study was designed to detect three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located on 22q11 that was thought as being of particularly importance for genetic research into schizophrenia. We recruited a total of 176 Chinese family trios of Han descent, consisting of mothers, fathers and affected offspring with schizophrenia for the genetic analysis. The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) showed that of three SNPs, rs10314 in the 3'-untranslated region of the CLDN5 locus was associated with schizophrenia (chi(2) = 4.75, P = 0.029). The other two SNPs, rs1548359 present in the CDC45L locus centromeric of rs10314 and rs739371 in the 5'-flanking region of the CLDN5 locus, did not show such an association. The global chi-square (chi(2)) test showed that the 3-SNP haplotype system was not associated with schizophrenia although the 1-df test for individual haplotypes showed that the rs1548359(C)-rs10314(G)-rs739371(C) haplotype was excessively non-transmitted (chi(2) = 5.32, P = 0.02). Because the claudin proteins are a major component for barrier-forming tight junctions that could play a crucial role in response to changing natural, physiological and pathological conditions, the CLDN5 association with schizophrenia may be an important clue leading to look into a meeting point of genetic and environmental factors.

Myoepitheliomas of the soft palate: helical CT findings in two patients.

We describe the enhancement patterns of myoepithelioma in two patients with a soft palate mass. In the first case, helical CT revealed a faintly enhancing mass. Histologically, the tumor was composed of plasmacytoid cells in a background of rich myxoid stroma. Immunostaining for CD34 showed scanty blood vessels. In the second case, helical CT revealed an intensely enhancing mass. Histologically, the mass was a cellular tumor with fibrous stroma. Immunostaining for CD34 also showed frequent blood vessels.     

The application of vitrification in human blastocyst cryopreservation: Analysis of clinical outcome of 117 cycles

Objective: To summarize the clinical outcomes of 117 human vitrified blastocyst transfer cycles and to determine the impact factors.Methods: In IVF-ET cycles, supernumerary embryos were cultured to 5-Day(D5) or 6-Day(D6), blastocysts of various stages were cryopreserved by vitrification using cryoloops. Survival rate and clinical pregnancy rate were observed.Results: A total of 312 blastocysts were thawed in 117 frozen embryo transfer cycles, the survival rate was 90.7% (283/312) after thawing. After the transfer of 230 blastocysts in 115 cycles, 69.6% (80/115) of the women got clinically pregnant, and 17.5% (14/80) of them suffered from miscarriage, 39 healthy babies were born in 28 deliveries, and the other 38 pregnancies are ongoing. The implantation rate was 47.4% (109/230). In 107 transfer cycles with 2 hatched blastocysts transferred in each cycle, 72.9% (78/107) got clinically pregnant, while in 8 cycles with 1 or no hatched blastocysts in the two transferred blastocysts, the clinical pregnancy rate is 25%(2/8). The clinical pregnancy rates were not statistically different between natural (77.4%, 24/31) or artificial endometrium preparation (66.7%, 56/84) cycles. Conclusions: These findings suggest that blastocyst vitrification is effective in terms of implantation rate and pregnancy outcome. Transferring of two hatched blastocyst can achieve a higher pregnancy rate.
