Objective To observe the protective effect of alcholic extractive of Cornu Cervi against the myocardial damage of acute myocardial infarction model rats. Methods The myocardial ischemia rats model was made by ligaturing their coronary attery, and the indexes including electrocardiogram, the area of acute myocardial infarction and ET of acute myocardial infarction model rats were observed after the acute period of myocardial damage. Results The alcoholic extractive of Cornu Cervi could obviously improve the degree of myocardial ischemia, reduce the area of myocardial ischemia, and lessen the level of ET. Conclusion The alcoholic extractive of Cornu Cervi could protect the myocardial against the damage of acute myocardial infarction model rats in some degree. The mechanism may be related to the reduction of value of ET of myocardial damage.

Objective To investigate the effect of Huangqikeli on immune function of mice. Methods 30 mice were randomly divided into 3 groups. The mice in A and B group were administrated with distilled water,C group were administrated with Huangqikeli. On the tenth day,all groups except A group were injected with cyclophosphamide to induce the model. The effects on the phagocytic function of Huangqikeli to macrophage in abdominal cavity of mice,delayed hypersensitivity induced by DNCB,and production of hemolysin antibody in mice that CRBC sensitized were observed. Result Compared with immuno-suppressive models given distilled water (B group),phagocytic function of macrophage in abdominal cavity of mice and delay hypersensitivity leaded by DNCB were enhanced (P

Objective To investigate the effect of cytochrome P_ 450 2A6 (CYP2A6) genetic polymorphisms on serum concentration of sodium valproate. Methods A total of 98 epileptic patients receiving sodium valproate after a period of more than 5 half-time were recruited. The genotypes of CYP2A6 of the patients were detected by nested-primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to examine the alleles CYP2A6*1 and CYP2A6*4. Fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) was used to measure the serum concentration of sodium valproate. Results Of the 98 cases, 73 (74.5%) were wild genotypes, 24 (24.5%) were CYP2A6*1/*4 genotypes and 1(1.0%) was CYP2A6*4/*4 genotype. According to the genotypes of CYP2A6 the patients were divided into two groups,one was group A (CYP2A6*1/*1) and the other was group B (CYP2A6*1/*4 or *4/*4). The mean value of the serum concentration of sodium valproate of the patients in group A(4.1393?0.2793) was higher than that in group B(3.3486?0.3919) with a statistical significance (P

In this study, we aimed to investigate the influences of conditioned medium from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) on cancer stem cell phenotype of human hepatoma cells. HUVEC and human hepatoma cells (MHCC97H) were cultured, respectively, and then the MHCC97H cells were co-cultured with conditioned medium from HUVEC (EC-CM) with Transwell system. Anti-cancer drug sensitivity, colony-formation, migration/invasion ability, expression of cancer stem cell marker and sphere formation were performed to determine the cancer stem cell phenotype in MHCC97H cells. We found that MHCC97H cells co-cultured with EC-CM exhibited significantly higher colony-formation ability and lower sensitivity of anti-cancer drugs 5-FU and Cis. Transwell assay showed that treatment with EC-CM obviously increased migration and invasion of MHCC97H cells. Moreover, increased sphere forming capability and expression of CD133 in MHCC97H cells were observed after co-cultured with EC-CM. These results suggested that EC-CM could promote cancer stem cell phenotype of hepatoma cells.

Objective: To confirm the pathogenesis and diagnosis of pediatric Fisher's syndr ome.Methods: Clinical manifestations and Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were compared and studied in 22 patients diagnosed as Fisher's syndrome.Results:Twenty- two cases of Fisher's syndrome both had the characteristics of ophthalmoplegia and cerebella ataxia,and had different degrees of incomplete fl accid paralysis in the ar ms and legs. In about half of 22 cases, the CSF showed divergence phenomenon of the protein and cell. Conclusion: Fisher's syndrome is a specific or variant type of AIP involving the cranial nerves, in which the cerebellar ataxia is taken as a main symptom and sign .

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin on gene expression of L-type calcium channels(LCCs) of myocardial cells in BALB/c mice infected by coxsackievirus B3(CVB3) so as to study the therapeutic effect of simvastatin on viral myocarditis.Methods Sixty male BALB/c mice were divided into five groups randomly(n=12).Mice in viral control group and three groups of oral administration of simvastatin(10,30 and 90 mg?kg-1)were inoculated intrapritoneally with 0.2 mL of CVB3(Nancy strain).Mice in normal control group were inoculated intrapritoneally with 0.2 mL Eagle's solution.The heart samples of all the mice were obtained for hispathological study and detection of myocardial LCCs alpha1 subunits mRNA expression by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results In viral control group,the mononuclear inflamematory infiltrate was focal or diffuse in myocardium of mice,severe hearts revealed a large area of myocardial necrosis.The degree of inflammatory cell infiltrate and area of necrosis were significantly less in simvastatin groups as compared with viral control group.The myocardial LCCs alpha1 subunits mRNA expression by semi-quantitative RT-PCR in normal control group was much lower than that in viral control group(0.06?0.01 vs 1.37?0.32,P

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum periostin and severe degree of dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) in children.Methods Thirty-two children with DCM from Jan.2009 to Jun.2013 in First Hospital Affiliated to Jilin University were selected as DCM group.Then these children were divided into 0-2 score group (n =6),3-6 score group (n =7),7-9 score group (n =11),and 10-12 score group (n =8) according to Ross standardization.Twenty healthy children in the same period were selected as control group.Meanwhile,the levels of serum periostin were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,the levels of serum creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB)were detected by adopting immunosuppressive method,while left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) were observed by using uhrasonography.The data in various groups were compared and the relationship between serum periostin and ROSS,LVEF was analyzed by performing linear regression analysis.Results 1.Compared with control group,the level of serum periostin in DCM group was significantly increased,and the difference was significant (P =0.00).The serum periostin level increased with the increase of ROSS score increase,and there were significant differences among the different ROSS score groups (all P ＜ 0.05).2.Compared with control group,the level of serum CK-MB in DCM group was significantly increased,the difference was significant (P =0.00) ;while the serum CK-MB levels had no significant difference among the different ROSS score groups(all P＞0.05).3.Compared with control group,the level of LVEF in DCM group was significantly decreased,the differences was significantly(P =0.00) ; and the LVEF level decreased with the ROSS score increase,there were significant differences among the different ROSS score groups(all P ＜ 0.05).4.Compared with control group,the level of LVEDD in DCM group was significantly enlarged,and the difference was significant(P =0.00) ; but the LVEDD had no significant differences among the different ROSS score groups (all P ＞ 0.05).5.Significantly positive correlation was found between the level of serum periostin and ROSS score (r =0.742,P ＜ 0.001).There was no obvious correlation between the level of serum periostin and CK-MB(r =0.247,P ＞ 0.05).There was negative correlation between the level of serum periostin and LVEF (r =-0.424,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The level of serum periostin is positively correlated with ROSS score and has negative correlation with LVEF.It may provide a useful index in the assessment of symptomatic state in children with dilated cardiomyopathy.
