Objective:To explore influence of monotherapy or combined use of telmisartan and pyridoxamine on aor-tic remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)and its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 48 male SHE were randomly and equally divided into hypertension control group,telmisartan group,group,and telmisartan+ group (combined treatment group). Kyoto Wistar rats of the same age and gender were regarded as normal blood pressure control group (normal control group). Thoracic aortic section were examined by related staining af-ter 16 weeks intervention to calculate the ratio of aortic wall thickness to radius of lumen (Tw/Rl),the ratio of wall area to lumen area (W/L),and the area ratio of media elastic fiber/collagen fiber. Concentrations of related en-zymes and receptor etc. of abdominal aortic were measured.Results:Compared with hypertension control group, there was significant rise in ratio of media elastic fiber/collagen fiber area and significant reduction in media collagen fiber/media area ratio in telmisartan group,pyridoxamine monotherapy group and combined treatment group,and there were significant decrease in Tw/Rl [(0.17±0.02)vs. (0.12±0.01)]and W/L [(0.29±0.03)vs. (0.22± 0.02)]ratios in combined treatment group,P <0.05 or <0.01;immunohistochemistry indicated that there were significant reductions in thoracic aortic receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) [(0.24±0.03)vs.(0.17±0.03)]and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2 )expression [(0.63 ± 0.06)vs. (0.37± 0.04)]in combined treatment group,P <0.05,<0.01. Fluorescence quantitative PCR indicated that medication can significantly reduce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)oxidase subunit p47phox mRNA ex-pression (P <0.01 all),especially in combined treatment group (P =0.001).Conclusion:Combined use of telmis-artan and pyridoxamine is superior to the single use of either drug on improving thoracic aortic remodeling in SHR, the mechanism may be related to it reduces local expression of RAGE and p-ERK1/2 ,and inhibits oxidase subunit p47 of NADPH.

Objective To establish a dot blot hybridization technique for rapid detection of staphylococci and methicillin-resistant staphylococci.Methods Three pairs of primers were designed according to nuc gene of staphylococcus aureus,mecA gene of methicillin-resistance,tuf gene of staphylococci.Specific DNA probes were synthesized by polymerase chain reaction and labeled with biotin.The bacterial DNA inoculated on nitrocellulose filter was hybridized with these probes.The sensitivity and specificity were detected.Results The DNA probes with 270bp,310bp and 370bp were amplified by the three pairs of primers respectively.The probes were specific.Among 50 clinical isolates of staphylococcus aureus tuf and nuc gene were all positive and mecA gene in 22 isolates were positive.Positive rate of tuf,nuc and mecA gene in 30 staphylococcus epidermidis were 100%,0 and 30% (9/30) respectively.No hybridization in other non-staphylococci occurred.The established method could detect as low as 1ng of bacterial DNA.Conclusion The dot blot hybridization is of high value in rapid,effective identification of methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

Humanin (HN, its analogue [Gly14]-Humanin, HNG) was originally identified as an endogenous peptide that protects neuronal cells from apoptosis induced by various types of Alzheimer's disease-related insults. But the relative low content of this peptide in its natural sources limits its further characterization. An expression vector pET32a/HNG was corstructed and transformed it into E. coli BL21 trxB (DE3). HNG was expressed as a fusion protein in the soluble fraction and was purified by nickel affinity chromatography. Subsequently, the purified fusion protein was cleaved by enterokinase and was further purified by reverse-phase HPLC. A 23 mg recombinant HNG (rHNG) from 1 L bacterial culture was purified. The molecular weight of rHNG determined by ESI-MS was 2876.5 Da which was the expected size for correctly processed peptide. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of rHNG determined by Edman degradation method is identical to the theoretical sequence. Neuroprotective bioassay studies of rHNG exhibited its potential neuroprotective effect comparable to that of the natural HNG peptide.

Objective: To observe the effect of pyridoxamine and telmisartan on the indexes of myocardial remodeling in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods: A total of 48 male SHR at 22 weeks of age were randomly divided into 4 groups:①Hypertension (H) control group, the rats received distilled water 2 ml/d,②telmisartan (T) group, the rats received telmisartan 6 mg/(kg.d),③pyridoxamine (P) group, the rats received pyridoxamine 200 mg/(kg.d),④Combination (TP) group, the rats received both telmisartan and pyridoxamine. All animals were treated for 16 weeks and the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured before and after treatment. After treatment, the serum levels of nitric oxide (NO) and super oxide dismutase (SOD) were examined by chemiluminescent method, advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) was detected by ELISA, left ventricular weight index and collagen volume fraction (CVF) in myocardial tissue were calculated, the mRNA expression of myocardial receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) was evaluated by real time RT-PCR. Results: Compared with H group, SBP levels were decreased in T and TP groups,P<0.01, while SBP in P group stayed similar,P>0.05. Compared with H group, the serum levels of NO and SOD were increased in T, P and TP groups,P<0.01; while compared with T group and P group, the levels of NO and SOD were further increased in TP group,P<0.05. Compared with H group, left ventricular weight index and CVF were decreased in T, P and TP groups,P<0.01; while compared with T group and P group, left ventricular weight index and CVF were further decreased in TP group,P<0.05. Pyridoxamine and telmisartan had the coordinative effect on left ventricular weight index and CVF, P<0.05. The serum levels of AGEs were lower in T group (5.99 ± 0.51) mg/L, P group (5.57 ± 0.91) mg/L and TP group (5.24 ± 0.63) mg/L than that in H group, (6.71 ± 0.50) mg/L,P<0.01; while compared with T group and P group, AGEs was further decreased in TP group,P<0.05. The mRNA expressions of RAGE were reduced in T group (0.035 ± 0.010), P group (0.036 ± 0.005) and TP group (0.024 ± 0.007) than that in H group (0.053 ± 0.010),P <0.01; while compared with T group and P group, the mRNA of RAGE was further reduced in TP group, P<0.05. Conclusion: Pyridoxamine could improve the oxidative stress and the indexes of myocardial remodeling independently from decreasing blood pressure in SHR. Combined intervention of P and T may break the coordination systems between AGEs-RAGE and renin-angiotensin, therefore further improve the indexes of myocardial remodeling in SHR.

Objective To analyze the correlation between emphysema extent measured by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and pulmonary function tests, symptom score in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) , and to study the value of HRCT in the emphysema quantification in the clinical evaluation of COPD patients. Methods 78 patients with stable COPD were recruited to take the HRCT scan , and emphysema extent was qualified by measuring the proportion of low attenuation area in the whole lung (LAA%). Correlations between LAA% and indices of pulmonary function test, bronchial dilation test, mMRC scale, CAT score and six minutes walking distance (6MWD) were assessed. Results LAA% was negatively correlated with FEV1/FVC and DLCO%pred, and the correlation coefficients were -0.759 and -0.589 (P <0.01), respectively. LAA% was positively related to mMRC score (r = 0.342, P < 0.01), and negatively asso-ciated with 6MWD (r = -0.365,P< 0.01). There was no association between LAA% and indices of bronchodila-tion test (⊿FVC, ⊿FVC%, ⊿FEV1, ⊿FEV1%) (P > 0.05). Conclusions The severity of emphysema measured by HRCT is well correlated with the clinical symptoms , pulmonary function tests and exercise capacity in COPD patients. It can be used to diagnose emphysema early and to evaluate the severity of the disease com-prehensively. Thus, the risk factors of COPD can be controlled and the prognosis of the patients can be im-proved.
