The phosphorylation of glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1) has been increasingly implicated in the formation and maintenance of plastic responses. To investigate molecular mechanisms that underlie the persisting alterations in motor response occurring with levodopa treatment of parkinsonian patients, we evaluated the time course of these changes in relation to the phosphorylation of GluR1 in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned animals. Three weeks of twice-daily levodopa administration to rats shortened the duration of the rotational responses and increased the peak turning responses, which lasted at least 7 days after withdrawal of chronic levodopa treatment. The shortened response duration and increased peak turning, resembling human wearing-off fluctuations and dyskinesia, were associated with a marked increase in Ser-845 phosphorylated GluR1 (pGluR1S845) immunoreactivity in lesioned striatum in response to levodopa treatment. The time course of changes in GluR1 phosphorylation correlated with the time course of changes in motor behavior after withdrawal of chronic levodopa therapy. Our immunostaining data showed that these changes were confined to parvalbumin-positive neurons where GluR1 are exclusively expressed. Both the altered motor response and the degree of pGluR1S845 were attenuated by the intrastriatal administration of protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor Rp-cAMPS or GluR1 antisense oligonucleotides. The results suggest that Ser-845 GluR1 phosphorylation within parvalbumin-positive neurons contributes to the persistence of the motor response alterations produced by chronic intermittent dopaminergic stimulation.

The matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) was applied to the extraction of eight kinds of ginsenosides from the leaves of Panax ginseng C.M. Mey. The experimental conditions were examined and optimised. The extracts were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the diatomaceous earth was used as dispersant and 75% methanol was used as elution solvent, the highest extraction yields of the eight kinds of ginsenosides were obtained. For comparison, the reflux extraction was applied. The extraction yields obtained by the proposed method were comparable with those obtained by the reflux extraction. The proposed method is convenient, time-saving, and organic solvent minimising. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Very little is known about the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation and rehabilitation training on pyramidal cell dendrites and synapses of the contralateral, unaffected sensorimotor cortex in a rat model of focal cerebral infarct. The present study was designed to explore the mechanisms underlying improved motor function via transcranial magnetic stimulation and rehabilitation training following cerebral infarction. Results showed that rehabilitation training or transcranial magnetic stimulation alone reduced neurological impairment in rats following cerebral infarction, as well as significantly increased synaptic curvatures and post-synaptic density in the non-injured cerebral hemisphere sensorimotor cortex and narrowed the synapse cleft width. In addition, the percentage of perforated synapses increased. The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and rehabilitation resulted in significantly increased total dendritic length, dendritic branching points, and dendritic density in layer V pyramidal cells of the non-injured cerebral hemisphere motor cortex. These results demonstrated that transcranial magnetic stimulation and rehabilitation training altered structural parameters of pyramidal cell dendrites and synapses in the non-injured cerebral hemisphere sensorimotor cortex, thereby improving the ability to compensate for neurological functions in rats following cerebral infarction.

Coking wastewater was advanced treated by electrolytic experiment. Through the orthogonal method, we found out the optimum experimental condition as current density 20 mA/cm2, electrode plate span 1cm, electrolytic time 60 min, PH 7 and electrical conductivity 8000 mu s/cm. The removal rates of COD, NH3-N and phenol were 58.62%, 89.9% and 96.8% respectively and the corresponding concentrations were 97.78mg/L, 14.3mg/L and 0.43mg/L respectively, which can meet first discharge standard of GB 13456-1992.

Corrosion electrochemical behavior of chlorinated rubber top coating (single-layer), inorganic zinc-rich primer/chlorinated rubber top coating (double-layers) and inorganic zinc-rich primer/epoxy middle paste/chlorinated rubber top coating (tri-layers) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A series of impedance spectra of the three coating systems during immersion were measured: and their protective properties were compared according to the spectra. The experimental results showed that, the protective properties of the double-layers coating system were even worse than that of the single-layer coating system;and the tri-layers coating system had the best protective properties in the three coating systems;epoxy middle paste had played a very important role for protective properties of the composite coating system.
