| 1 | Bloodletting at Jing-well points decreases interstitial fluid flow in the thalamus of rats显示文摘OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes in the neuronal microenvironment of the middle cerebral artery(MCA) territory induced by Jing-well points bloodletting acupuncture(WPBA) and to explore the neuroprotective mechanism of WPBA in stroke.METHODS: Adult male Sprague Dawley(n = 32)rats were randomly divided into four groups of eight animals each: WPBA-thalamus group(WT),WPBA-caudate nucleus group(WC), sham-control thalamus group(ST) and sham-control caudate nucleus group(SC). Animals in the WT and WC groups received 2 μL of the extracellular tracer gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid(Gd-DTPA)injected into the thalamus or caudate nucleus, respectively, and 12 Jing-well points in the distal ends of the rats' digits were used for WPBA. Although 2 μL of Gd-DTPA was injected into the thalamus or caudate nucleus, respectively, for animals in the two sham groups(ST and SC), no acupuncture or bloodletting was performed. Brain extracellular space and interstitial fluid flow parameters were measured using Gd-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.RESULTS: The brain interstitial fluid flow speed was decreased in the thalamus after WPBA, with a significantly lower Gd-DTPA clearance rate and longer half-life of Gd-DTPA in the thalamus of treated rats than those in sham-control rats [WPBA-treated rats' clearance rate,(7.47 ± 3.15) × 10^(-5)/s(P = 0.009);half-life,(1.52 ± 0.13) h, P = 0.000]. By contrast, no significant changes in brain extracellular space and interstitial fluid flow parameters were detected in the caudate nucleus after WPBA(P = 0.649). In addition, no differences in the morphology of the brain extracellular space or the final distribution of the traced brain interstitial fluid were demonstrated between the WT and WC groups(P = 0.631, P = 0.970,respectively).CONCLUSION: The WPBA decreased the speed of the local thalamic ISF flow in rats, which is assumed to be a beneficial protection by down-modulated the metabolic rate of the attacked neurons under stroke. | FuYu LiYuliang GuoJia Liu Bin Liu Huipo Zhang Weibo Sun Wanli GaoYajuan Ren Qiushi Han Haojun | 2016 | Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine2016，36，1： | 3 |
| 2 | Self-assembly of N-3-γ-pyridyl Aza[60]fulleroid on Au(111)显示文摘Self-assembled monolayers of novel C60 derivative, N-3-γ-pyridyl Aza[60]fulleroid (C60Py), on Au(111) were studied by a scanning tunneling microscope under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV). C60Py molecules were assembled on Au (111) via pyridyl nitrogen-Au interaction. The sole assembly of C60Py molecules on Au (111) only exhibited randoml aggregation of C60Py even the films were annealed at 50 and 105℃. By co-assembling with benzyl mercaptan (BM), the C60Py- BM films showed highly dense aggregation, but C60Py assemblies still had disordered structure. After the co-assembled C60Py-BM films were annealed at 50℃, BM molecules were partially desorbed, but the assembly of C60Py remained without obvious change. After the co-assembled C60Py-BM films were further annealed at 105℃, the C60Py monolayers with ordered structure were obtained, while the BM molecules were nearly thoroughly desorbed from the surface. Here, the BM molecules play a key role as a surfactant in the formation of the ordered C60Py monolayer. | ZHOUYunshen WANGKedong ZHAOFengzhou WANGBing HOUJianguo WANGShu LIYuliang | 2005 | Chinese Science Bulletin2005，50，5： | 0 |
