Despite obvious progress in the treatment of acute forms of ischemic stroke, the risk of this condition remains unacceptably high. Brain infarction in the middle cerebral artery basin occurs in patients with atherosclerosis. The onset of the brain infarction is facilitated by the cessation of circulation (embolism) in conditions of insufficient collateral circulation. The extent of the infarct zone is determined by neuronal death and impaired microcirculation. The development of new methods for effective targeted restorative stroke therapy is crucial for restorative treatment and reducing the risk of mortality after stroke. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is an approach to limiting reperfusion injury in the ischemic region of the brain after focal ischemia. One of the most commonly used in vivo models in stroke studies is the filament model of Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) in rats. In our experiment, it was performed for 30 min (J. Koizumi) with subsequent 48-hour reperfusion. Within the first 24 hours after the start of reperfusion several short episodes of ischemia in low limbs were induced. After 48 hours of reperfusion the brains were harvested and stained with TTC. Then we evaluated the effect of RIC within 24 hours ex vivo in rats’ brains, as well as syndecan-1 plasma concentration. Infarct area was assessed by means of Image-Pro program with statistical analysis. Infarct volumes in the model group (31.97% ± 2.5%) were significantly higher compared to the values in the RIC group 48 hours after ischemia-reperfusion (13.6% ± 1.3%) (*P glycocalyx protein, might be the regulator w

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a chemolithoautotrophic acidophile that oxidizes ferrous iron or sulfur compounds to obtain energy in the presence of various ions.To investigate the potassium ion adaptability of A.ferrooxidans,we conducted a proteomics analysis.We identified eight proteins that were differentially expressedin the presence of high-density potassium,including four up-regulated and four down-regulated proteins.Transcription levels of the genes encoding differential expressed proteins were subsequently analyzed by Northern blot in the presence of high-density potassium.Among up-regulated proteins,GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase,ribose 5-phosphate isomerase A and ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase were known to be implicated in the synthesis of glycocalyx,suggesting that the formation of glycocalyx might be involved in the resistence of A.ferrooxidans to high-density potassium ion.In the down-regulated proteins,ATP synthase F1 delta subunit and ATP synthase F1 beta subunit were two important components of ATP synthase.Their down-regulated expression in the presence of high-density potassium suggested that the synthesis of ATP synthase was affected by high-density potassium ion.Therefore,the results obtained here provide some new clues to improve our understanding of the adaptability of A.ferrooxidans to high-density potassium ion.
