Objective: To study the influence of different telomere oligonucleotide on rat's thoracic aortic smooth muscle (A7R5 ) cell apoptosis and to clarify weather silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1)/cancer suppressor gene (P53) signaling pathway involved in oligonucleotide induced cell apoptosis. Methods: 3 telomere repeat sequences of TE-12 (TTAGGG)2, TE-24 (TTAGGG)4 and TE-36 (TTAGGG)6 were respectively transfected into rat's A7R5 cells as TE-12 group, TE-24 group and TE-36 group; in addition, blank A7R5 cells were used as Control group. Transfection induced A7R5 cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT1 and P53 in A7R5 cells were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis in different groups. Results: Successful ransfection rates were similar among 3 groups. Compared with Control group and TE-36, TE-24 groups, the highest apoptosis rate of A7R5 cells was found in TE-12 group and the lowest was found in TE-24 group which was still higher than that in Control group, allP<0.05. mRNA and protein expressions of SIRT1 was obviously higher in TE-12 group than the other 3 groups, allP<0.05; mRNA and protein expressions of P53 was obviously lower in TE-24 group than the other 3 groups, allP<0.05. Conclusion: Telomere oligonucleotide sequence may promote rat's A7R5 cell apoptosis; different sequence had various influence and the strongest effect was observed in TE-12 sequence. The above impact might be related to SIRT1/P53 signaling pathway.

Objective:To evaluate the quality and the effectiveness of therapeutic studies on chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis published in Chinese journals by means of evidence-based medicine. Methods:Relevant papers were searched in Chinese Biological Medical Disc (CBMDisc)database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) database. Papers using randomized controlled trials (RCT) were identified and analyzed according to the international standards of evidence-based medicine. Results:There were totally 98 articles focusing on therapeutic studies of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis and only 22 of them met RCT criteria. Study design, diagnostic standards, therapeutic effects and adverse effects decribed in those 22 papers were fully evaluated by means of evidence-based medicine. Conclusions:Research quality of the analyzed papers could not meet clinical needs and Meta analysis could not been done due to their low quantity and poor quality. However, as far as the published articles concerned, GM-CSF showed a good short-term treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the protective role of senegenin(SEN)in the mouse ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism.Methods Mice were divided at random into control group(the ligature was placed but not ligated for 225 min),is-chemia-reperfusion model group(the anterior descending coronary artery remained ligated for 45 min and then reperfused for 180 min)and SEN treatment group(30 mg/kg SEN was used 10 min before reperfusion).The myocardial infarct size was meas-ured by using Evans blue-TTC staining.Fluorescence assay was employed to detect the activity of Caspase-1 2 and Caspase-3 to assess the myocardial apoptosis.Western blot was used to detect the expression of two endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) markers,GRP78 and CHOP,in infarcted myocardia.Results Compared with the control group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,the activities of Caspase-12 and Caspase-3 were increased by 4.71 fold and 3.37 fold,respectively,and the expression levels of ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP were conspicuously elevated in the ischemia-reperfusion model group.Pretreatment with SEN(30 mg/kg)could significantly reduce the myocardial infarct size,the activities of Caspase-12 and Caspase-3 and the expression levels of GRP78 and CHOP when compared with those in the ischemia-reperfusion model group and there was significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion SEN can protect against the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion inj ury by ameliorating ERS-mediated myocardial apoptosis in mice.

BACKGROUND:Decreased function and reduced number of CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells have been considered the major manifestation of immunity dysfunction in children with primary nephrotic syndrome. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have immunoregulation effects, which up-regulate CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells, inhibit proliferation of lymphocytes, and have been widely used in many immune diseases.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem celltransplantation on the CD4+CD25+regulatory T cells of peripheral blood in rats with primary nephrotic syndrome.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from six Sprague-Dawley rats were isolated, passaged and utilized for cellsuspension preparation. At the third passage, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were used for transplantation. The remaining 30 rats were randomly and equal y divided into three groups:normal group, normal saline infusion group, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group. The rat models of primary nephrotic syndrome were established by single injection of adriamycin intravenously through tail vein in the latter two groups. Rats were then treated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (1×10 7 ) (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group) or normal saline (normal saline infusion group) through tail vein at the same time after adriamycin administration. The normal group received no treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal group, rats in the normal saline infusion group developed nephropathy characterized by ascites, proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholastero-lnemia, and progressive renal injury. However, the proteinurine and clinical severity in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group were significantly ameliorated after treatment with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. CD4+CD25+Treg/CD4+Treg in the peripheral blood in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group and normal saline infusion group were significantly higher than that in the normal group at 28 days after model establishment (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference between bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group and normal saline infusion group (P>0.05). The expression of FoxP3 mRNA in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells group was significantly higher than that in the normal saline infusion group and normal group (P<0.05). The bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells play a protective effect in rats with primary nephrotic syndrome, which may be related to the increase of local expression of FoxP3 and generation of CD4+CD25+Treg.

Objective To investigate risk factors of corrected QT (QTc) interval prolongation in schizophrenia pa-tients treated with clozapine. Methods Two hundred and ten schizophrenia patients treated with clozapine were included in the study. Measurement of myocardial enzymes and electrocardiography were performed to determine QTc interval. QTc interval was calculated according to Bazett’s formula. Results QTc prolongation prevalence rate was 15.24%, The QTc prolongation prevalence rate was higher in female than in male (29.23%vs. 8.98%, P<0.001). The mean QTc inter-val was longer in female than in male [(427.30 ± 24.33)ms vs. (410.39 ± 25.80)ms, P<0.001]. The QTc interval showed weak positive correlation with age (r=0.203, P=0.003) and heart rate (r=0.326, P<0.001). There was no correlation be-tween QTc interval and clozapine dosage or therapy course (P>0.05). Multi-factors linear regression analysis showed that heart rate was related with QTc interval (β=0.719, standardizedβ=0.691, P=0.027). Conclusions QTc interval prolonga-tion prevalence rate is high in patients treated with clozapine. And increased heart rate might be risk factor of QTc inter-val prolongation.
