Purines and pyrimidines have widespread and specific action in many tissues of both invertebrates and vertebrates. These compounds have powerful physiological roles in both short-term actions of neurotransmission, exocrine and endocrine secretion, and regulation of immune cell function,and long-term actions of cell growth, cell differentiation and proliferation in the development and regeneration.

Aim To study the effect of blocking adenosine A_1 receptors on BDNF protein expression and the endoplasmic reticulum(ER) content of the rat hippocampus.Methods The effect of DPCPX on BDNF protein expression in granular cells of the rat hippocampus was observed using immunohistochemical method,and the effect of DPCPX on ER in neurons of the rat hippocampus was observed with transmission electron microscope.Results DPCPX(0.1 mg?kg~(-1),ip,15 d) significantly increased the number of BDNF positive cells in hippocampus granular cells.DPCPX(0.5 mg?kg~(-1),ip,15 d) significantly increased both the levels of BDNF protein and the number of BDNF positive cells in hippocampus granular cells(P

Object To study the effective portion in Cornus officinalis Sieb. et Zucc. extract (COE) for the treatment of arrhythmia. Methods Effect of COE on chloroform induced ventricular fibrillation in mice and electrophysiology of isolated guinea pig papillary muscle were studied. Results Antiarrhythmic effect of COE may be related to its prolongation of action potential duration, increase of the absolute value of resting potential and a decrease of autonomy of sinus node. The effective portion in COE may be its total organic acid and a certain yet unknown trace substance, whereas its total glycosides were devoid of such activities. Conclusion Pharmacodynamic and myocardial electrophysiologic studies showed that the total organic acid and a certain unknown trace substance possessed the obvious antiarrhythmic activity.

Objective To explore the factors related with difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) for acute calculus cholecystitis.Methods A total of 245 patients were retrospectively divided into two groups:easy group(123patients)and difficult group(122patients,including 32patients of conversion to OC)based on surgery time and LC or OC.Results There were statistical differences between the groups in regards to preoperative body temperature,white blood cell count,surgical timing,the thickness of gallbladder wall,gallbladder volume,and diameter of common bile duct(all P

Objective To discuss the therapeutic effects of rhubarb and natrii sulfas for severe acute(pancreatitis)(SAP).Methods Eighty-three patietns with SAP were randomly divided into treatment group(group A,n=45) and control group(group B,n=38).The 2 groups received the same therapy except that group A received rhubarb and natrii sulfas through nasogastric tube.Results In treatment group(compared) to control group,the clinical symptoms such as abdominal pain and distention were more quickly(relieved),with early return to oral food intake,lesser complications and shorter hospital stay(all with P

AIM To investigate antitumor effects of curcumin (Cur) combining with adriamycin (ADR) on human tumor cell lines in vitro and study the mechanisms. METHODS The antitumor effects of the drugs on tumor cell lines in vitro were determined with MTT method. The Jin's formula was used to analyze the effect of drug combination. Cellular ADR accumulation was measured by fluorescence spectraphotometry. RESULTS In simultaneous adiministration Cur 4 25～34 00 ?mol?L -1 combining with ADR produced a simple addition or potentiation effect. The cellular ADR accumulation was markedly increased in the presence of Cur in MDR cells, but decreased in sensitived cells. The experiment of membrane fluidity show that that Cur affects membrane fluidity neither on KB nor on KB v200 cell line. CONCLUSION Simultaneous adiministration of Cur combining with ADR produces synergistic effect. The mechanism is connected with increasing cellular ADR accumulationon on KB v200 cell line. While on KB cell line, it is related to synergistic pharmacological effect. But the action of Cur is not connected with the change of membrane fluidity on both cell lines.

Objective To assess the prediction value of technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile(~(99)Tc~m-MIBI) for the effect of chemotherapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Methods Fifty-three patients with SCLC were divided into two groups according to the chest computed tomography (CT) examination, 39 patients in group A with complete or partial remission, and 14 patients in groups B with stable or progressive status. ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI was performed before chemotherapy. Following i. v. administration of 740 MBq ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI, SPECT imagings at 10 -30 minutes (early) and 2 -3 hours (delayed) were performed to obtain the uptake ratio of early phase tumor/normal lung tissue (ER) and the uptake ratio of delayed phase tumor/normal lung tissue (DR). The retention index (RI) was calculated as (DR-ER)/ ER × 100%. The differences of ER,DR and RI between the two groups were tested through t-test and rank sum test. Results ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI uptake was significantly higher in group A than group B: 2.33(SD:0.21) vs 2.02(SD:0.31) for the early ratio (ER) (t = -3.401, P<0.05) and 2.44(SD:0.19) vs 1.86 (SD :0.30) for the delayed ratio (DR) (t = - 6.724,P < 0.05). The median of RI in group A was signifi-cantly higher than that in group B (5.31% vs -9.26%,P <0.05). Conclusions ER,DR and RI of ~(99)Tc~m-MIBI SPECT may be helpful in predicting the response to chemotherapy in patients with SCLC.

Objective To evaluate the value of MR threedimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) perfusion imaging and intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) DWI in differential diagnosis and quantitative analysis of musculoskeletal tumors.Methods Forty-four patients with musculoskeletal tumors were included.According to pathologic results,there were 12 cases of benign tumors,10cases of intermediate tumors and 22 cases of malignant tumors.3D-ASL and IVIM DWI were both performed on forty-four patients to gain tumor blood flow (TBF),standard ADC (ADCstandard),slow ADC (ADCslow)and fast ADC (ADCfast).Immunohistochemical staining of specimens was performed by using CD34 monoclonal antibody to calculate microvessel density (MVD) counts.MVD,TBF,ADCfast and ADCslow of different groups were compared by one-way ANOVA analysis.ADCstandard was compared by Kruskal-Wallis test.ROC curve was used to analyze ASL and IVIM DWI,in order to determine the threshold and diagnostic reliability.Results The MVD of benign tumors was 10±4,the MVD of intermediate tumors was 15±6,and malignant tumors was 33 ± 1 1.There was significant difference among three groups of MVD(F=28.33,P＜0.05).There was better intra-observer agreement for ADCstandard,ADCfast,ADCslow and TBF(ICC=0.970,0.885,0.778,0.891,respectively,P＜0.05).The TBF of benign tumors was(30±10)ml· min-1· 100 g-1,intermediate tumors was(30± 12) ml·min 1· 100 g-1,and malignant tumors was(84±29)ml·min 1· 100 g-1.There was significant difference among three groups of TBF(F=32.34,P＜0.05).According to the ROC analysis,when the cut-offvalue of TBF was 45.5 ml·min-1· 100 g-1,the area under ROC curve was 0.95 1,and the sensitivity and specificity of TBF in diagnosing malignant tumors were 90.9％ and 95.5％ respectively.There was no significant difference among three groups of ADCstandard,ADCfastand ADCslow of benign tumors were(9.9±5.1)× 10-3,(1.9±0.5) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.ADCfast and ADCalow of intermediate tumors were(8.2 ± 3.6) × 10-3,(1.5 ± 0.6) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.ADCfast and ADCalow of malignant tumors were (16.9 ± 5.8) × 10 3,(1.4 ± 0.6) × 10-3mm2/s respectively.There were significant difference of ADCfast and ADCslow among three groups (F=12.75,5.60,P＜ 0.05).According to the ROC analysis,when the cut-off value of ADCfast was 9.4× 10-3mm2/s,the area under ROC curve was 0.861,the sensitivity and specificity of them in diagnosing malignant tumors were 95.5％ and 68.2％ respectively.Conclusion 3D-ASL and IVIM DWI are valuable in the differential diagnosis of musculoskeletal tumors.
