Objective To investigate the effect of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) on expressions of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) and recoverin in rat retinal.Methods Thirty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups,including normal control group,and MNU treatment one day,three days,seven days and 10 days groups,each group had six rats.Rats in MNU-treatment groups received a single intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg /kg MNU,while rats in the normal control group received intraperitoneal injection of saline 5 ml/kg.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunofluorescence were used to detect the retinal expression of IRBP and recoverin.Results RT-PCR results indicated that retinal IRBP levels decreased after MNU injection compared with normal control (P<0.01),while recoverin levels increased (one day:P>0.05; three days:P<0.05; seven days:P<0.5; 10 days:P<0.05).Immunofluorescence assays demonstrated that normally IRBP protein is mainly in the inner and outer segments of photoreceptors.After MNU treatment,IRBP protein was detected in all retinal layers but much faint.Recoverin was expressed in the inner nuclear layer,inner plexiform layer and ganglion cell layer,and its expression was increased after MNU injection.Conclusion MNU suppresses IRBP expression and promotes recoverin expression in rat retina.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of 64-slice spiral CT (64SCT) in assessing coronary artery disease.Methods A total of 30 suspected patients (male 21 cases, female 9 cases, and mean age of 54.6 years) were undergone both 64SCT and selective coronary angiography (SCA). Volume redering (VR) ,multiplanar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP) and transverse section were reconstructed. The results of coronary reconstructions were compared with SCA to analyze the accuracy of the 64SCT in detecting coronary artery stenoses.Results In the 396 segments of coronary artery(diameter≥2 mm)of 30 patients, 385 were judged to be evaluable by 64SCT. The evaluable rate was 97.2%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the 64SCT in detecting coronary artery stenoses(≥50% of stenosis) were 96.22%, 94.56%, 89.44% and 96.88%. The accuracy rate of 64SCT in detecting ≥50% stenosis of coronary artery was 95.90%.Conclusion 64SCT has high accuracy in detecting coronary artery stenoses, as a noninvasive method,it can be used for screening patients with known or coronary artery diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzymes,M or H subunits in the retreated patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods 141 medical records of retreated patients with multiple myeloma were collected,and the relationship of LDH and its isoenzymes,subunits with DS staging system,ISS staging system,creatinine,bone marrow plasma cell percentage,immunoglobulin and microglobin was analyzed.Results Serum total LDH activity was not significantly related to DS staging system and ISS staging system.LDH1 percentages was negatively correlated with ISS staging system (P<0.01),and LDH4 percentages positively associated with ISS staging system (P<0.05).LDH activity,absolute value of LDH1 ,LDH2,LDH3,LDH4,and H subunits were positively linked to serum creatinine in myeloma kidney disease patients with renal inadequacy (P<0.05).Both percentage and absolute value of LDH5 were negatively correlated with bone marrow plasma cell percentage (P<0.01 and P<0.05 respectively).Conclusion The detection of serum LDH isoenzyme is more valuable than total LDH activity in retreated patients with multiple myeloma.

Objective To explore the roles and possible mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) in cell cardiac hypertrophy model using angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ).Methods The cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were treated with Ang Ⅱ as cell cardiac hypertrophy model.Hypertrophic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with GdCl3(a specific agonist of CaSR) and/or with Ro318220(a specific inhibitor of PKC pathway).To evaluate the status of cardiac hypertrophy,cell diameter was observed by HE dyeing,and protein content was determined through coomassie brilliant blue protein kit.The intracellular calcium concentration( [ Ca2+]i) was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.The protein expression of CaSR and PKC pathway were analyzed using Western blotting.Results ①Compared to the control group(0.1263 ± 0.0443),the protein expression of CaSR was increased in Ang Ⅱ group and in GdCl3 group(0.1963 ± 0.0375,0.2778 ± 0.0564,all P< 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ alone,the increase was significant in GdCl3 group(P < 0.05).②Compared to control group(222.70 ± 22.09),AngⅡ group(392.16 ± 36.85) remarkably increased [Ca2+]i(P< 0.05),and this increase of [Ca2+]i was further enhanced in GdCl3 group (502.60 ± 44.21) versus Ang Ⅱ group (P < 0.05).③Compared to control group,Ang Ⅱ could induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,and GdCl3 enhanced the effect.Moreover,this enhancement was attenuated by Ro318220.④Compared to control group(0.27 ± 0.07,0.69 ± 0.06,0.87 ± 0.04),the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε and PKCδ was increased in Ang Ⅱ group(0.60 ± 0.16,1.02 ± 0.13,1.20 ± 0.18,all P< 0.05) and the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was increased in GdCl3 group(0.82 ± 0.16,1.34 ± 0.12,all P < 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was obviously increased in GdCl3 group (all P < 0.05);compared with GdCl3 group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε(0.41 ± 0.10,0.85 ± 0.14) was obviously decreased in Ro318220 group(all P < 0.05).Conclusions CaSR is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ through PKC pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.
