Objective To investigate calcineurin signaling pathway which mediates myocardium apoptosis of right heart in rats with chronic hypoxia and the potential mechanisms of it.Methods A rat model of right ventricular hypertrophy(RVH) was established induced by chronic hypoxia(95-105 mL?L-1 O2).Used randomized block design based on different brood,30 rats were divided into 3 groups:treatment group with cyclosporine A(CsA,10 mg?kg-1?d-1,intraperitoneal injection),chronic hypoxia group,normal control group(with normal oxygen).The rats in CsA treatment group and chronic hypoxia group were exposed to normobaric chronic hypoxia(95-105 mL?L-1 O2,21 days).Apoptotic index(AI),calcineurin A?(CnA?) mRNA levels,Bcl-2 mRNA levels and the protein expression levels of CnA?,nuclear factor 3 of activated T cells(NFAT3) and Bcl-2 in right ventricle were investigated.Results 1.The AI of treatment group with CsA was higher than that in chronic hypoxia group(P

Objective:To evaluate the effect of short-time group psychological guidance on mental quality of college students. Methods:Designed the content of one day's psychological coach.600 college students received psychological coach successively.60 students were randomly chosen as the intervened group,who were treated with one-day group psychological guidance,while 60 students,who never attended the group psychological guidance,were chosen as control.Assessed and compared the mental quality of the intervened group and the control group with the Faith in People Scale (FPS),Personal Evaluation Inventory (PEI),Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) on the day before or 1 and 12 weeks after coach.Results:There were no significant differences of the scale of FPS,PEI,SAS,and SDS between two groups before coach and there were significant differences between two groups after coach.Conclusion:Short-time group guidance is helpful to developing college students' ability in interpersonal contact and self-confidence and improving depression and anxiety.

Herpetin (HPT) is an active monomer constituent isolated from lignanoid in seeds of Herpetospermum caudigerum. HPT shows inhibitory effects in hepatic injury and HBV-DNA and the replication. In the study, we successfully prepare herpetin liposomes by film dispersion method for the first time. The prescription process was optimized, with the entrapment efficiency as the index. According to the optimized prescription, the mass ratio of HPT: phospholipids: cholesterol was 2.44:78.05: 19.51, the hydration and de-molding process was performed with 0.5% F68 solution at 50 degrees C, and the water-bath ultrasonic time was 20 min. The HPT liposomes prepared by this method showed an average entrapment efficiency of (94.50 +/- 2.15)% and a particle size of (119.2 +/- 10.7) nm, which was consistent with the trial expectations and will lay a solid foundation for the hepatic targeting delivery system in future.

In this study, the herpetin (HPT) lyophilized liposome was prepared, and its saftey and pharmacodynamics were evaluated. HPT lyophilized liposome was prepared by thin-film ultrasonication method. The lyoprotectant was optimized using particle size and encapsulation efficiency as indexes. Then, the influencing factors of HPT lyophilized liposome were investigated. In addition, preliminary safety and therapy efficiency of HPT lyophilized liposome to liver injury induced by CCl4 in the mice. The optimal lyoprotectant was 5% sucrose plus 5% lactose and the dispersed HPT lyophilized liposomes were spherical with the mean diameter of (107.0 ± 1.2) nm and the mean encapsulation efficiency of (99.7 ± 0.50)%. The lyophilized powder was sensitive to temperature, humidity and illumination. None of hemolysis, hemagglutination and vein irritation was observed after intravenous injection of HPT lyophilized liposomes into rabbits. HPT lyophilized liposome showed obviously therapy efficiency to liver injury induced by CCl4 in the mice. The improvements of ALT, AST and ALP were better than that in HPT free drug. The obtained HPT lyophilized liposome met the standard of CP with fine particle size and encapsulation efficiency after dispersion. The HPT lyophilized liposome showed good safety and enhanced the treatment efficacy of HPT. The HPT lyophilized liposome should be stored in low temperature, sealed condition far away from light.

The investigators isolated one yeast from China Huaimao sweet flour paste. The strain was identified into Citeromyces, and claimed being a new species. The strain was named as Ctieromyces baadingensis zhang sp. Nov., which differed markedly from Citeromyces matritensis in physiological and biochemical characteristics. Citeromyces baod-ingensis didn't ferment sucrose and raffinose, and assimilated galactose and cellobiose, and didn't assimilate galactose and ceflobiose. The G+C mol% was 48.5.
10.Antagonism role of adenosine in right ventricular hypertrophy induced by hypoxia in rat
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2013;28(13):1017-1019
Objective To investigate the antagonism role of adenosine and its agonists in hypoxia-induced right ventricular hypertrophy in rat.Methods Fifty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 7 groups,including normoxia control group,hypoxia control group,hypoxia plus adenosine group,hypoxia plus adenosine A1 receptor agonist(CPA) group,hypoxia plus adenosine A2 receptor agonist(NECA) group,hypoxia plus CPA and adenosine A1 receptor antagonist (DPCPX) group,hypoxia plus NECA and adenosine A2b receptor antagonist(MRS1754) group.There were 8 rats in each group.Rats in all groups except normoxia group were exposed to hypoxia for 21 days(oxygen volume concentration of 95-105 mL/L).On the 7th day,agents were continuously delivered with micro osmotic pump for 14 days.At the end of the experiment,both right ventricular to left ventricular plus septum weight[RV/(LV + S)] ratio and right ventricular to body weight (RV/BW) ratio were measured,and the expression of myosin heavy chain (β-MHC) mRNA and regulator of G protein signaling 4(RGS4) mRNA in the right ventricular myocardial tissues were detected by PCR method.Results 1.After chronic hypoxia for 21 days,the ratios of RV/(LV + S) and RV/ BW in the hypoxia control group were significantly higher than those in the normoxia control group respectively(all P < 0.001) ; the ratios of RV/(LV + S) and RV/BW in the hypoxia plus adenosine group and hypoxia plus CPA group were significantly lower than those in the hypoxia control group (all P < 0.05) ; the ratio of RV/(LV + S) in the hypoxia plus NECA group was significantly lower than that in the hypoxia control group(P < 0.05).2.The expression level of β-MHC mRNA in the hypoxia control group was higher than that in the normoxia control group(P < 0.001),and the expression level of RGS4 mRNA in the hypoxia group was lower than that in the normoxia group(P < 0.001) ; the expression levels of β-MHC mRNA in the hypoxia plus adenosine group,hypoxia plus CPA group,or hypoxia plus NECA group were lower than those in the hypoxia control group (all P < 0.001) ; the expression levels of RGS4 mRNA in hypoxia plus adenosine group,hypoxia plus CPA group,and hypoxia plus NECA group were higher than those in the hypoxia control group(all P < 0.001).Conclusions Adenosine can attenuate hypoxia-induced right ventricular hypertrophy through RGS4 mediated pathway.
