Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cases of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD) are the predominant form of the age-related dementia. New evidence suggests that metabolic syndrome (MS), a metabolic disorder, is an initiating factor of some SAD cases. A high-sugar high-fat diet could cause MS, we aimed to investigate whether it could directly lead to SAD. MEASUREMENTS The characteristic molecules of AD (hippocampus Aβ and Tau) were tested by using ELISA and western blotting to confirm the happening hallmarks of AD in brain. MS and inflammation related biochemical indicators were measured using immunological method. Proteins associated with the insulin resistance signal pathway (JNK, PI-3K, AKT, GSK-3β, GLUT3) were evaluated using western blotting method. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by immunofluorescence method. RESULTS Expressions of hippocampus Aβ, phosphorylation-Tau (p-Tau), inflammatory factors and p-JNK, Gsk-3βwere higher in the model rats than those in the control rats and expressions of p-PI3K, p-AKT and GLUT3 were reversed. CONCLUSIONS The MS model animals, which can induce the characteristics symptoms of AD, and therefore it may be preliminarily considered that the AD pertains to the MS-related diseases.

Abstract
The Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome was believed to be associated with PRKAG2 gene mutations. In this study, we verified the pathopoiesis of G100S mutation, a novel mutation only discovered in Chinese patients with WPW, in cardiac disorder. Similar to R302Q, when overexpressed PRKAG2 G100S mutant in zebrafish, we observed a thicker heart wall, detected a decreased AMPK enzymatic activity by tissue AMPK kinase activity colorimetric technique, as well as examined an increased glycogen storage in heart wall using the method for periodic acid-Schiff staining, in comparison with the zebrafish without exogenous PRKAG2 (mock) or with wild-type PRKAG2 (WT). Taken together, we concluded PRKAG2 G100S mutation might contribute to impair the AMP-activated protein kinase function, which resulted in increased cardiac glycogen storage, serving as a pathogenesis for WPW syndrome in Chinese.

Abstract
The effects of protein kinase C (PKC) activation by phorbol ester on intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) and membrane currents in human microglia grown in culture were investigated. Treatment of microglia with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) resulted in a large increase in [Ca2+]i in cells loaded with fura-2. The increased levels of [Ca2+]i were not altered following removal of the phorbol ester. In Ca(2+)-free medium, application of PMA did not increase [Ca2+]i. In addition, PMA application in standard Ca(2+)-solution containing lanthanum (1.8 mM) had no effect on the microglial response to PMA, suggesting that the phorbol ester actions were due to transmembrane influx of Ca2+ but not through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. Whole-cell patch clamp measurements demonstrated that PMA potentiated an outward K+ current and inhibited an inward rectifier K+ current. This study is the first demonstration that PKC activation by phorbol ester leads to increased intracellular [Ca2+] and changes in membrane currents in human microglia.

Abstract
The experimental results have shown that except the stem and leaves all kinds of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae and all parts of the herb contain sarsasapogenin, but the contents are different. Furthermore, the root and peel of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae may be used as drug instead of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae.

Abstract
The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFG) is a newly developing technique used in the fractionation of large DNA fragments. Advances in PFG demand a better understanding in the corresponding mechanisms of DNA dynamics in the gel network. Detailed experiments are needed to verify and to extend existing theoretical predictions as well as to find optimum conditions for efficient separation of large DNA fragments. In the present study, deformation of large DNA fragments (40-70 kilobase pairs) imbedded in agarose gels were investigated by using the transient electric birefringence (TEB) technique under both singular polarity and bipolarity electric pulses at low applied electric field strengths (E less than or equal to 5 V/cm). The steady-state optical retardation (delta s) of DNA molecules is linearly proportional to E2. At a given E, the amplitude of optical retardation [delta(t)] increases monotonically with the pulse width (PW) and then reaches a plateau value [delta(t = 0) = delta s] where t = 0 denotes the time when the applied field is turned off or reversed. The field-free decay time (tau-a few minutes) is several orders of magnitudes slower than that from previous TEB observations using high electric field strengths (E-kV/cm) and short pulse widths (PW-ms). The degree of deformation (stretching and orientation) and the time of restoration to the equilibrium conformation of overall DNA chains have been related to delta and tau. In field inversion measurements, exponentially rising and linearly falling of birefringence signals in the presence of forward/inverse applied fields were observed. The rising and falling of birefringence signals were reproducible under a sequence of alternating pulses. Comparison of our results with literature findings and discussions with theories are presented.
