question:
Accumulated evidence suggests that oxidative stress is involved in amyloid beta (Abeta)-induced cognitive dysfunction. Silibinin (silybin), a flavonoid derived from the herb milk thistle (Silybum marianum), has been shown to have antioxidative properties; however, it remains unclear whether silibinin improves Abeta-induced neurotoxicity. In the present study, we examined the effect of silibinin on the memory impairment and accumulation of oxidative stress induced by Abeta(25-35) in mice.', 'Aggregated Abeta(25-35) (3 nmol) was intracerebroventricularly administered to mice. Treatment with silibinin (2, 20 and 200 mg.kg(-1), once a day, p.o.) was started immediately after the injection of Abeta(25-35). Locomotor activity was evaluated 6 days after the Abeta(25-35) treatment, and cognitive function was evaluated in a Y-maze and novel object recognition tests 6-11 days after the Abeta(25-35) treatment. The levels of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) and antioxidant (glutathione) in the hippocampus were measured 7 days after the Abeta(25-35) injection.', 'Silibinin prevented the memory impairment induced by Abeta(25-35) in the Y-maze and novel object recognition tests. Repeated treatment with silibinin attenuated the Abeta(25-35)-induced accumulation of malondialdehyde and depletion of glutathione in the hippocampus.
answer:
Does silibinin prevent amyloid beta peptide-induced memory impairment and oxidative stress in mice?


question:
Neisseria meningitidis are common colonizers of the human nasopharynx. In some circumstances, N. meningitidis becomes an opportunistic pathogen that invades tissues and causes meningitis. While a vaccine against a number of serogroups has been in effective use for many years, a vaccine against N. meningitidis group B has not yet been universally adopted. Bacterial heat shock protein complex (HSPC) vaccines comprise bacterial HSPs, purified with their chaperoned protein cargo. HSPC vaccines use the intrinsic adjuvant activity of their HSP, thought to act via Toll-like receptors (TLR), to induce an immune response against their cargo antigens. This study evaluated HSPC vaccines from N. meningitidis and the closely related commensal N. lactamica.', 'The protein composition of N. lactamica and N. meningitidis HSPCs were similar. Using human HEK293 cells we found that both HSPCs can induce an innate immune response via activation of TLR2. However, stimulation of TLR2 or TLR4 deficient murine splenocytes revealed that HSPCs can activate an innate immune response via multiple receptors. Vaccination of wildtype mice with the Neisseria HSPC induced a strong antibody response and a Th1-restricted T helper response. However, vaccination of mice deficient in the major TLR adaptor protein, MyD88, revealed that while the Th1 response to Neisseria HSPC requires MyD88, these vaccines unexpectedly induced an antigen-specific antibody response via a MyD88-independent mechanism.
answer:
Do heat shock protein complex vaccines induce antibodies against Neisseria meningitidis via a MyD88-independent mechanism?


question:
Previous studies have suggested that post-irradiation GH insufficiency results from a loss of GHRH secretion, since many patients were able to release GH following exogenous GHRH stimulation. However, supramaximal doses of GHRH were used and the response may decline with time after radiotherapy. We re-evaluated the GHRH dose-response curve in patients post cranial irradiation and in controls.', 'Randomized controlled study.', 'Five adult male long-term survivors of childhood brain tumours (median age 21.8 years (18.4-26.7); 13.7 years (11.4-15.7) post-radiotherapy, >30Gy) and five matched controls were studied. An intravenous bolus of GHRH(1-29)NH(2) was administered in doses at the lower (0.05 microg/kg) and upper (0.15 microg/kg) range of the dose-response curves for young males, as well as the standard supramaximal dose (1. 0 microg/kg). GH was measured before stimulation, every 2min for the first hour and every 5min for the second hour. All studies were conducted in a random fashion.', 'Significantly lower peak and area under the curve (AUC) GH concentrations occurred in the irradiated group using 0.15 microg/kg (median peak Irradiated, 4. 5mU/l vs median Controls, 37.4mU/l; P<0.01) and 1.0 microg/kg (median peak Irradiated, 4.8mU/l vs median Controls, 15.2mU/l; P<0. 05) GHRH(1-29)NH(2). In irradiated subjects there was an incremental rise in GH output with increasing doses of GHRH(1-29)NH(2 )(median AUC: 122mU/l.min vs 179mU/l.min vs 268mU/l.min; P=0.007) reflecting altered pituitary sensitivity and reduced responsiveness.
answer:

Is the GH response to low-dose bolus growth hormone-releasing hormone ( GHRH ( 1-29 ) NH2 ) attenuated in patients with longstanding post-irradiation GH insufficiency?
