Objective To assess the influence of atrial fibrillation on post-thrombolytic hemorrhagic transformation and functional prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients within different time window.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and imaging data of patients of acute ischemic stroke with intravenous thrombolysis admitted from June 2009 to October 2013.According to onset-to-needle time,we divided patients into 3 groups and then assessed the effect of the comorbidity with atrial fibrillation on the occurrence of hemorrhagic transformation and favorable outcome (defined as modified Rankin Scale score≤2 at 90 days) after thrombolysis within different time window.Results A total of 345 patients were included in this study,among whom 101 (29.3％) were treated by intravenous thrombolysis within 3.0 h (≤3.0 h),157(45.5％) ＞3.0 h and≤4.5 h,87(25.2％) over 4.5 h(＞4.5 h).Atrial fibrillation was observed in 50.5％ (51/101) patients in ≤3.0 h group,37.6％ (59/157) in ＞3.0 h and≤4.5 h group and 40.2％ (35/87) in ＞ 4.5 h group (x2 =4.362,P =0.113).There were no statistically significant differences among these three groups about the rate of hemorrhagic transformation (hemorrhagic infarction:16.8％ (17/101),22.3％ (35/157),20.7％ (18/87),and parenchymal hematoma:5.0％ (5/101),10.2％ (16/157),10.3％ (9/87),x2 =4.278,P =0.370) and favorable outcome (51.5％ (52/101),53.5％ (84/ 157),47.1％ (41/87),x2 =0.913,P =0.633).Multivariate analysis demonstrated that atrial fibrillation was associated with hemorrhagic infarction for patients in ＞ 4.5 h group (OR =3.637,95％ CI 1.101-12.013,P =0.034),and the presence of atrial fibrillation independently predicted parenchymal hematoma for patients in ＞ 3.0 h and ≤4.5 h group (OR =3.757,95％ CI 1.133-12.457,P =0.030).There was no significant association between atrial fibrillation and favorable outcome at 90 days.Conclusions The presence of atrial fibrillation is not associated with the prognosis in thrombolytic patients.However,it enhanced the risk of parenchymal hematoma if patients were treated within the time window ＞ 3.0 h and ≤4.5h.

The work aims to study the drug metabolizing enzymes involved in the metabolism of butylphthalide and evaluate the induction and inhibition activities of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes by using in vitro (liver microsome incubation system of rats and human) and in vivo (CYP induced model of rats) method. Butylphthalide was incubated with selective inhibitors of CYP450, and its metabolic rate was determined to identify the metabolizing isoenzymes of NBP in rat (normal and induced rats) and human liver microsomes. The in vitro inhibition effect of butylphthalide on 6 main liver microsomal CYP450 isoenzymes was evaluated by using probe drugs; the induction and inhibition activities in vivo of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes were evaluated by NBP ig dosing (160 mg x kg(-1)) and iv dosing (20 mg x kg(-1)) in rats. After adding the specific inhibitors of CYP2C11, 2E1 and 3A 1/2 for rat, CYP2C19, 2E1 and 3A4/5 for human, the metabolism of NBP in rat and human liver microsomes were reduced 38.8%, 86.2%, 78.4% and 51.0%, 92.0%, 58.9% of control, respectively. The metabolic rates of NBP in CYP2E1 and 3A 1/2 induced rat liver microsomes were increased 25.5% and 68.9%. High concentration of NBP (≥ 200 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activities of CYP1A2, 2C6, 2C11 and 2D2 in rats, and high concentration of NBP ( ≥ 15 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activity of CYP2C19 in human. All the results indicated that NBP should be mainly metabolized by CYP2E1, 2C11 and 3A 1/2 in rats and CYP2E1, 2C19 and 3A4/5 in human. High concentration of NBP could inhibit human CYP2C19 in vitro. No significant induction/inhibition effects of NBP were observed on rat liver CYP450 isoforms after ig 160 mg x kg(-1) NBP or iv 20 mg x kg(-1) NBP.

AIM: To investigate the role of CagA and the effect of small interference RNA (siRNA) on the release of IL-8 in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells. METHODS: siRNA were transferred into CagA positive strain H. pylori NCTC 11637 by using electroporation. The CagA positive strain NCTC 11637 and the CagA negative strain NCTC 11639 were co-cultured with gastric epithelial cells and the level of IL-8 in the supernatant was measure by ELISA. RT-PCR and Western blotting were performed to detect CagA expression. RESULTS: The level of IL-8 induced by CagA positive strain NCTC 11637 was higher than the level induced by CagA negative strain NCTC 11639 ( 1 200.00 ?32.51) ng/L vs (100.00?8.58) ng/L, P0.05). Meanwhile, CagA mRNA decreased significantly in siRNAⅢgroup. The levels of CagA mRNA at 6, 12, and 24 h after electroporation were 31.3% (0.270/0.861), 57.6% (0.496/0.861), and 73.9% (0.637/0.861) of the control levels, respectively. Inhibition rate by siRNAⅢ was 68.7%. The Western blotting result in siRNA Ⅲ group showed that the level of CagA protein degraded to 30.7% (0.4/1.3) at 12 h after electroporation. In siRNA V group, the expression of CagA mRNA at 6 h is suppressed by 23.1% (P

Objective To observe the influence of long-term smoking on the expression of p53 and K-ras in rat lung tissues, and to study the relationship of smoking to the mutation of p53 and K-ras gene. Methods The model of Wistar rat smoking was built up. Seventy-two healthy male Wistar rats were divided into the experimental group and control group at random. The rats of the experimental group were compelled to smoke, and the rats of the control group were given the same condition as the experimental group was, without smoking. The rats of the experimental group were smoked for 6 months. At the end of each month, 6 rats were chosen from the two groups respectively, their lung tissues were sampled and immunohistochemistry was applied to observe the expression of p53 and K-ras in lung tissues. Finally, the mutation which might happen in the exon 5, 6, 7-8 of p53 and the exon 1 of K-ras was examined by PCR-SSCP. Results The p53 protein was expressed in cell nucleus and K-ras in cytoplasm. The positive ratio of protein expression was increased with the extension of smoking time. The mutation of p53 was increased as the smoking time extended. But the effect of smoking time was not that significant on the mutation of K-ras.Conclusion Smoking can strengthen the expression of p53 and K-ras protein and can also result in gene mutation. As the time of smoking extended, those phenomenons were tending to rise. That provided the theoretical evidence which can be used to judge the lesion of lung tissues caused by smoking and help the early diagnosis of smoking-related lung carcinomas. It is of great theoretical and application values.

rAdinbitor was cloned from Gloydius blomhoffi brevicaudus in the laboratory. Previous researches had proved that rAdinbitor could inhibit proliferation of C6 glioma cells as well as promote their apoptosis. The molecular mechanism of rAdinbitor’s effects on C6 cells need to be further studied. rAdinbitor was expressed in E. coli BL21/pET23b-adinbitor and purified with Ni Sepharose 6 Fast Flow. The purified protein was confirmed by Western blotting. C6 cells were induced with fibronectin (FN). The effects of rAdinbitor with different concentrations on the expression of FAK, MEK1/2 and Caspase-3 as well as on activity of FAK and ERK1/2 in FN-induced C6 cells were studied by immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Results showed that rAdinbitor with different concentrations could obviously reduce the expression of FAK and MEK1/2, increase the expression of Caspase-3, as well as decrease ERK1/2 phosphorylation; besides 10 mg/L rAdinbitor, other concentrations’ rAdinbitor could inhibit FAK phosphorylation obviously. All those effects were dose-dependent. Results indicate that the effects of rAdinbitor on decreasing expression and activity of FAK and inhibiting Ras-MAPK signaling pathway play an important role in suppressing the proliferation of C6. Furthermore, the increase in Caspase-3 expression implies that the increase in apoptosis of C6 cells might be due to the suppression of rAdinbitor on the activity of ILK and PI-3K/Akt pathway.
