Abstract
Objective: To investigate the application value of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and adiponectin (ADPN) in the judgment of liver inflammation in chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: A total of 159 cases with NAFLD (21 cases), chronic hepatitis B virus infection (57 cases), and chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with NAFLD (81 cases) were collected between June 2016 to December 2018, and the visited patients diagnosis were confirmed by histopathological examination of the liver. ROS and ADPN level retained in serum was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Histopathological examination of liver tissue was used as the gold standard to discuss the diagnostic value of the serum in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with NAFLD for the occurrence of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. One-way analysis of variance was used for the comparison among multiple groups, and LSD-t test was used for pairwise comparison between groups. Measurement data for non-normal distributions were expressed as M (P25, P75). Comparisons between groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis H test. Chi-square test was used to compare the count data between groups. Correlation analysis was performed using Spearman correlation analysis. Histopathological grouping of liver tissue was used as the gold standard, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the regression formula. Results: (1) In patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with NAFLD, the levels of ROS in the non-hepatic steatosis group and the mild hepatic steatosis group were significantly lower than those in the moderate and severe hepatic steatosis group, while the ADPN level in the non-hepatic steatosis group was significantly higher than liver steatosis group, P < 0.05. (2) The results of correlation analysis showed that ROS was significantly correlated with NAS score, change in the degree of fatty liver and lobular inflammation (all P < 0.05).There was a significant negative correlation between ADPN and the change in the degree of fatty liver (P < 0.05). (3) Logistic regression analysis results showed that the diagnostic formula for chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis was 0.02 × controlled attenuation index + 0.584 × white blood cells/10(9) + 0.587 × ROS-10.982. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of the subject was = 0.896. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value were 97.1%, 71.2%, 64.2%, and 97.9%. Conclusion: ADPN and ROS have certain reference value in differentiating the change in the degree of fatty liver and inflammation in chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with NAFLD and the diagnostic formula has higher application value in the diagnosis and exclusion of chronic hepatitis B virus infection combined with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

Abstract
Dopamine and its receptors appear in the brain during early embryonic period suggesting a role for dopamine in brain development. In fact, dopamine receptor imbalance resulting from impaired physiological balance between D1- and D2-receptor activities can perturb brain development and lead to persisting changes in brain structure and function. Dopamine receptor imbalance can be produced experimentally using pharmacological or genetic methods. Pharmacological methods tend to activate or antagonize the receptors in all cell types. In the traditional gene knockout models the receptor imbalance occurs during development and also at maturity. Therefore, assaying the effects of dopamine imbalance on specific cell types (e.g. precursor versus postmitotic cells) or at specific periods of brain development (e.g. pre- or postnatal periods) is not feasible in these models. We describe a novel transgenic mouse model based on the tetracycline dependent inducible gene expression system in which dopamine D1-receptor transgene expression is induced selectively in neuroepithelial cells of the embryonic brain at experimenter-chosen intervals of brain development. In this model, doxycycline-induced expression of the transgene causes significant overexpression of the D1-receptor and significant reductions in the incorporation of the S-phase marker bromodeoxyuridine into neuroepithelial cells of the basal and dorsal telencephalon indicating marked effects on telencephalic neurogenesis. The D1-receptor overexpression occurs at higher levels in the medial ganglionic eminence (MGE) than the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) or cerebral wall (CW). Moreover, although the transgene is induced selectively in the neuroepithelium, D1-receptor protein overexpression appears to persist in postmitotic cells. The mouse model can be modified for neuroepithelial cell-specific inducible expression of other transgenes or induction of the D1-receptor transgene in other cells in specific brain regions by crossbreeding the mice with transgenic mouse lines available already.

Abstract
L-type Ca2+ channels (LTCCs) play an important role in chronic psychostimulant-induced behaviors. However, the Ca2+ second messenger pathways activated by LTCCs after acute and recurrent psychostimulant administration that contribute to drug-induced molecular adaptations are poorly understood. Using a chronic amphetamine treatment paradigm in rats, we have examined the role of LTCCs in activating the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway in the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a primary target for the reinforcing properties of psychostimulants. Using immunoblot and immunohistochemical analyses, we find that in chronic saline-treated rats a challenge injection of amphetamine increases phosphorylation of MAP [extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2)] kinase in the VTA that is independent of LTCCs. However, in chronic amphetamine-treated rats there is no increase in amphetamine-mediated ERK1/2 phosphorylation unless LTCCs are blocked, in which case there is robust phosphorylation in VTA dopamine neurons. Examination of the expression of phosphatases reveals an increase in calcineurin [protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B)] and MAP kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in the VTA. Using in situ hybridization histochemistry and immunoblot analyses, we further examined the mRNA and protein expression of the LTCC subtypes Ca(v)1.2 and Ca(v)1.3 in VTA dopamine neurons in drug-naive animals and in rats after chronic amphetamine treatment. We found an increase in Ca(v)1.2 mRNA and protein levels, with no change in Ca(v)1.3. Together, our results suggest that one aspect of LTCC-induced changes in second messenger pathways after chronic amphetamine exposure involves activation of the MAP kinase phosphatase pathway by upregulation of Ca(v)1.2 in VTA dopaminergic neurons.

Abstract
The numerical density of neurons in the CA1 region of the rat dorsal hippocampus has been estimated by a stereological method, the disector, using pairs of video images of toluidine blue-stained, plastic-embedded, 0.5-microns-thick sections, 3 microns distant from each other. The chemical properties of those disector-counted cells were further analyzed by postembedding immunocytochemical methods on adjacent, semithin sections using antibodies against gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and a specific calcium-binding protein, parvalbumin (PV). The density of neurons in the CA1 region was 35.2 x 10(3)/mm3; numerical densities in the stratum oriens (SO), stratum pyramidale (SP), and strata radiatum-lacunosum-moleculare (SRLM) were 11.3 x 10(3)/mm3, 272.4 x 10(3)/mm3, and 1.9 x 10(3)/mm3, respectively. The numerical densities of GABA-like immunoreactive (GABA-LIR) and PV-immunoreactive (PV-IR) neurons were 2.1 x 10(3)/mm3 and 1.1 x 10(3)/mm3, respectively, which were 5.8% and 3.2% of all neurons, respectively. In the CA1 region only about 60% of PV-positive neurons were GABA-LIR. However, taking the previous observation into consideration that almost all hippocampal PV-positive neurons were immunoreactive for the GABA-synthesizing enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), neurons that were immunoreactive to either GABA or PV or both (GABA+ and/or PV+ neurons) were regarded as a better representative of GABAergic neurons in this region; thus, the numerical density of these GABA+ and/or PV+ neurons was 2.5 x 10(3)/mm3 and they were 7.0% of all neurons in the CA1 region. Lamellar analysis showed that the numerical densities of GABA+ and/or PV+, GABA-LIR, and PV-IR neurons were highest in the SP, where they were 8.2 x 10(3)/mm3, 6.2 x 10(3)/mm3, and 5.4 x 10(3)/mm3, respectively. The results of the present study indicate that the proportions of GABAergic neurons and a subpopulation of them, PV-containing GABAergic neurons, to other presumable non-GABAergic neurons are far smaller in the CA1 region of the hippocampus than in several neocortical regions previously reported.

Abstract
Using preembedding immunocytochemistry at light microscopic level, we found that, although monoclonal antibody HNK-1 selectively outlined a subpopulation of GABAergic neurons containing a specific calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) in the adult mouse cerebral cortex, the proportion of HNK-1-positive cells to PV-containing cells showed prominent regional difference. In the parietal cortex, approximately 50% of PV-positive cells were HNK-1-positive whereas only approximately 10% of PV-positive cells were HNK-1-immunoreactive in the occipital and temporal cortices. There were also prominent differences in this proportion among allocortical areas. These observations indicate that the cellular composition of chemically defined subpopulations of GABAergic neurons are different from area to area in mouse cerebral cortex.

Abstract
The number of neuronal and glial cells in the rat somatosensory cortex (barrel area) has been estimated by a stereological method, the disector, using pairs of toluidine blue-stained, plastic-embedded 0.5-microns-thick sections, 1.5 microns distant from each other. Chemical properties of those disector-counted cells were further analyzed by postembedding immunocytochemical methods on adjacent semithin sections. Thus we were able to analyze quantitatively number, distribution, and proportion of five cell types: (1) gamma-aminobutyric acid-(GABA)-negative neurons; (2) GABA-like immunoreactive (GABA-LIR) neurons; (3) a specific calcium-binding protein parvalbumin-immunoreactive (PV-IR) neurons, a subpopulation of GABA-LIR neurons; (4) S-100 beta-LIR glial cells (astrocytes); and (5) S-100 beta-negative glial cells (oligodendrocytes and microglia). The densities of total cells, glial cells, and neurons in the rat somatosensory cortex were 85.4 +/- 10(3)/mm3, 30.5 x 10(3)/mm3, and 54.9 x 10(3)/mm3, respectively. Of all neurons 25% and 14% were GABA-LIR and PV-IR, respectively; all PV-IR neurons are GABA-LIR, and thus about 54% of GABA-LIR neurons are PV-positive. The number of total cells under a unit surface area of 1 mm2 through the thickness of the somatosensory cortex was 171.6 x 10(3); the number of neurons and glial cells were 110.2 x 10(3) and 61.4 x 10(3), respectively. There were 27.7 x 10(3) GABA-LIR neurons and 15.0 x 10(3) and 12.7 x 10(3) PV-IR neurons and PV-negative GABA-LIR neurons, respectively. The laminar distribution of each group of cells shows prominent differences, indicating that the cellular composition was different from layer to layer. The density of GABA-LIR neurons was highest in layer IV. The numerical density of PV-IR neurons was 2-4 times higher in layer IV than in layers II/III, V, and VI, whereas that of PV-negative GABA-LIR neurons was almost constant throughout the layers.

Abstract
The number of neuronal cells in the rat somatosensory cortex (barrel area) has been estimated by a stereological method, disector, using pairs of toluidine-blue stained plastic embedded 0.5 microns thick sections, 3.0 microns distant from each other. Chemical properties of those disector-counted cells were further revealed by applying postembedding immunocytochemical methods on adjacent semithin sections. Thus we analysed quantitatively the number, distribution and proportion of three types of neurons: 1) GABA negative neurons, 2) GABA-like immunoreactive (GABA-LIR) neurons and 3) a specific calcium binding protein parvalbumin (PV) immunoreactive (PV-IR) neurons, which are a subpopulation of GABA-LIR neurons. The densities of total neurons in the rat somatosensory cortex were 55 x 10(3)/mm3. Of neurons 24% and 12% were GABA-LIR and PV-IR, respectively; almost all PV-IR neurons are GABA-LIR and thus about 50% GABA-LIR neurons are PV positive. The number of total neurons under a unit surface area 1mm2 through the thickness of the somatosensory cortex is 85 x 10(3). GABA-LIR neurons were 20 x 10(3) and PV-IR neurons and PV negative GABA-LIR neurons were 10 x 10(3) and 10 x 10(3), respectively. The laminar distribution of each group of neurons shows prominent differences, indicating that the neuronal composition was different from layer to layer. The density of GABA-LIR neuron was highest in layer IV and especially PV-IR neurons were 2-3 times more numerous in layer IV than in layer II/III, V and VI.
