title: [Expression of HSP70 mRNA in hippocampus of rats after diffuse axonal injury].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the changes of expression of heat-shock proteins (HSP) 70 mRNA in hippocampus of rats after diffuse axonal injury (DAI).
  
  
  METHODS
  RT-PCR products of HSP70 mRNA were tested by agarose gel electrophoresis after RT-PCR amplification. The changes of HSP70 mRNA expression were observed in rat hippocampus after DAI.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The expression of HSP70 mRNA in the hippocampus could be detected 4 h after DAI. It reached maximum at 24 h and declined after 48 h.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HSP70 mRNA in hippocampus of rats could be useful for diagnosis of DAI.
