Purpose To investigate the responsiveness of intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium on acrolein exposure and acrolein-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis. Methods The viable adult mice cardiac myocytes were isolated by modified langendorff methods. We have examined the intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium concentration using DCF and Fura-2 AM, and the cardiomyocytes viability with WST assay. Are evaluated the DNA ladder pattern and cell apoptotic morphology on the adult mice cardiomyocytes that are exposed to acrolein. Results Our results show that acrolein can increase markedly the intracellular oxygen free radical and calcium concentration, that reach 12 fold and twofold respectively compared to the resting value when the cells were exposed to 1 μmol/L of acrolein. Moreover, the injury induced by acrolein in cardiac myocytes is concentration-dependent. The cardiomyocytes viability treated with 25, 50, 100 μmol/L of acrolein respectively were significantly lower compared to controls (P < 0.01 ). DNA ladder pattern and apoptotic morphological changes were found after being exposed to acrolein in the adult mice cardiomyocytes. Conclusion It is concluded that acrolein induces adult mice cardiomyocytes apoptosis, and it may be due to the increased intracellular oxygen free radicals and calcium concentration.

Objective To investigate the changes in acetylation of histone in the spinal dorsal horn in a rat model of persistent postoperative pain.Methods Ninety-six malc Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,aged 6-8 weeks,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=48 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S) and persistent postoperative pain group (group PPP).The rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by skin/muscle incision and retraction was established according to the method described by Flatters.After the rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal chloral hydrate,the skin and superficial muscle of the medial thigh were incised and retractors inserted.This tissue was retracted for 1 h.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) was measured at 1 day before operation and 1,3,7,14,and 21 days after operation.Four animals were sacrificed in each group after measurement of MWT at each time point for detection of acetylated histone H3 (Ac-H3) and acetylated histone H4 (Ac-H4) expression (by Western blot analysis) and the number of Ac-H3 and Ac-H4 positive cells in the spinal cord horn (by immunofluorescence histochemistry).Results Compared with group S,the MWT was significantly decreased at 3,7,14 and 21 days after operation,the expression of Ac-H3 and Ac-H4b was significantly down-regulated at 3,7 and 14 days after operation,and the number of Ac-H3 and Ac-H4 positive cells was significantly decreased at 7,14 and 21 days after operation in group PPP (P<0.05 or 0.01).The MWT,expression of Ac-H3 and Ac-H4b,and the number of Ac-H3 and Ac-H4 positive cells were significantly higher at 21 days after operation than at 14 days after operation in group PPP (P<0.05).Conclusion Acetylation of histone in the spinal dorsal horn is decreased after operation,which may be involved in the development and maintenance of persistent postoperative pain in rats.

Objective To explore the relationship between depression and anxiety and peripheral blood cell counts ( white blood cell ( WBC) ,neutrophil ( NEU) ,lymphocyte ( LYM) ,red blood cell ( RBC) and hemoglobin ( HGB) ) of heroin?dependent patients receiving methadone maintenance treatment ( MMT) . Methods Two hundred and fifty?two MMT heroin addicts, who had received peripheral blood tests within the week prior to the study,were administered with a general information questionnaire,SDS and SAS. The results of blood tests of these patients were compared with those of 109 healthy people in physical examina?tion. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze associations between indicators of peripheral blood cell counts and depressive and anxiety symptoms. Results Compared with healthy controls,MMT patients had significantly higher proportions of elevated WBC(14.7%vs 3.7%),NEU(12.7% vs 2.8%) and LYM(9.9%vs 2.8%) counts (all P<0.05),and low RBC(10.3%vs 4.6%) counts and HGB(11.5%vs 4.6%) concentra?tion (both P<0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that blood cell counts of WBC ( β=0.261, P<0.01),NEU ( β=0.264, P<0.01),LYM ( β=0.196, P=0.003) and RBC ( β=-0.144, P=0.021) were independently associated with depression;and blood cell counts of WBC ( β=0.298, P<0.01) and LYM ( β=0.269, P<0.01) were independently associated with anxiety. Conclusion Improving the in?flammatory and malnutrition status may be helpful for reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms of MMT her?oin addicts.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of nifedipine combined with losartan on the blood pressure and renal function of hypertension complicated with coronary heart disease. METHODS:150 patients with hypertension complicated with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Control group was orally treated with Nifedipine sustained release tablet 30 mg,once a day;observation group was additionally treated with Losartan potassium capsules 50 mg,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 1 month. Systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,renal function indicators be-fore and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies for ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to establish a new diagnostic method of AS based on anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPAs) detection.Methods Totally 121 AS patients(AS group), 97 rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients (RA group)and 103 healthy people(control group) were enrolled for the detection of serum levels of anti-MCV and anti-CCP antibodies using ELISA method as a diagnostic test .HLA-B27 in AS patients was tested by flow cytometry , and RF-IgM in RA and AS patients was detected by immune rate nephelometry .Receiver operating characteristics ( ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value and to determine the cut-off value.Anti-MCV and anti-CCP antibodies among each group were compared by Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test was used to compare positive rate .Results The anti-MCV levels in AS group [11.60 ( 12.36-25.83 ) U/ml ] were significantly higher than control group [ 11.60 ( 8.41 -13.54)U/ml ],U=2 413,P <0.001, while the levels of anti-CCP had no difference between the two groups [AS group 6.22 (4.30 -8.07) U/ml], and control group [6.01 (3.77 -7.58) U/ml], respectively;U=5 421,P=0.094.The calculated area under the ROC curve of anti-MCV was 0.806,and 14.67 U/ml was the optimal cut-off value with sensitivity of 0.645 and specificity of 0.942.In both HLA-B27 positive and negative AS patients , anti-MCV antibodies levels and positive rate were significantly higher than control group using new cut-off value above (U =133.5, P =0.001; U =2 279.5,P <0.001). Sensitivity of the combination detection of anti-MCV and anti-CCP ( MCV+CCP-) or RF-IgM ( MCV+RF-) were 60.3%(73/121), 62.8% (76/121) and specificity were 89.7% (87/97), 90.7% (88/97) respectively in differential diagnosis of AS and RA , which were significantly higher than anti-MCV detection alone in specificity (16.5%,16/97).Conclusions Anti-MCV could be a new biomarker for the diagnosis of AS .With high sensitivity and specificity , anti-MCV has an equal diagnostic efficiency in HLA-B27 positive and negative AS patients using our new cut-off value.Additionally, the combination detection of anti-MCV and anti-CCP or RF-IgM could be an effective method for differential diagnosis of AS and RA .
