The identification of the relationships between mutations of the bone morphogenetic protein type Ⅱ receptor (BMPR2) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been considered to be one of the most significant discoveries in this area in the 21st century. And BMPR2 mutation is responsible for the majority of hereditary PAH as well as some of idiopathic PAH. Furthermore, clinical and animal expreimental research over the past few years has revealed that BMPR2 signaling pathway plays a critical role in the initiation and progress of PAH, by participateing in the pathogenesis of PAH. In addition, the potential that BMPR2 signaling pathway is used as a therapeutic target is being evaluated. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of BMPR2 mutations in PAH from the perspectives of genetics, epigenetics, inflammation as well as interactions with other significant pathways.

The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) gene expression was blocked and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) proliferation was inhibited by using antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODN) mediated by liposome, to find a new genetic therapy of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). RPE cells cultured in vitro were transfected with synthetic fluorescence labled AS-ODN mediated by liposome-Lipofectamine, and the intracellular distribution and persistence time of AS-ODN were dynamically observed. AS-ODN (0.07, 0.28 and 1.12 micro mol/L and sense oligonucleotides (S-ODN with the same concentrations as AS-ODN) mediated by liposome were delivered to the RPE cells cultured in vitro, and CPM values were measured by 3H-TdR incorporation assay and analyzed statistically by variance by comparison with blank control group. Expression of PCNA mRNA in RPE cells was detected by in situ hybridization after the treatment of different concentrations of PCNA AS-ODN and S-ODN, and the average optic density (AOD) was measured by image analysis system and was subjected to q-test and correlation analysis with CPM. Our results showed that AS-ODN mediated by liposome could quickly aggregate in cellular plasma and nuclei in 30 min and 6 h, and stayed for as long as 6 days. AS-ODN (0.28 and 1.12 micro mol/L) markedly suppressed proliferation of RPE cells in a dose-dependent manner with the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, repectively) as compared with blank control group. AOD was well correlated with CPM (r = 0.975). It is concluded that liposome could increase transfection efficiency of AS-ODN in RPE cells, and AS-ODN could sequence-specifically suppress PCNA mRNA expression and proliferation of human RPE cells.

Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) was developed to investigate the structure stability of novel camptothecin derivative (L-P) at different pH,the kinetics and thermodynamics of hydrolysis reaction from lactone form to carboxylate form direction at near physiological conditions (pH 7.4,310 K). Uncoated fused-silica capillaries(35 cm×50 μm i. d,with effective length of 26.5 cm) were used. The background electro-lyte( BGE) was 0.025 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer with pH varied at 2.5,4.0,5.0,6.0,7.0,7.4 and 9. 0. The electrophoresis voltage was maintained at 14 kV when the pH of BGE ranged between 2.5 and 5.0,otherwise,the voltage was maintained at 10 kV. The UV detector was set at 260 nm. All samples were introduced using hydrodynamic injection at 5 kPa for 4 s. L-P was found to be lactone form as the solution pH was below 4. 0. As pH increased,the lactone form of L-P would undergo hydrolysis reaction to be carboxylate form. As pH was 9.0,L-P existed almost completely as carboxylate form. The rate constant of the hydrolysis increased as temperature raise. The energy of activation ( Ea) ,the enthalpy ( ΔH) and entropy (ΔS) of the hydrolysis reaction were determined as 72. 6 kJ/mol,10. 5 kJ/mol and 50. 9 J/( mol K) ,respectively. The proposed capillary zone electrophoresis could efficiently separate two pH-dependent structural forms of the novel camptothecin derivative( L-P). The positive enthalpy and entropy values of the L-P hydrolysis indicated that the reaction was endothermic and entropically driven and higher temperature favored.

Objective To investigate the effects of 20% lipid emulsion on plasma ropivacaine concentration and myocardial ropivacaine content in rats. Methods Sixty male pathogen-free SD rats weighing 220-270 g were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 30 each): group A normal saline and group B lipid emulsion.The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 4% pentobarbital 40 mg/kg. The femoral vein was cannulated for drug and fluid administration. ECG (lead Ⅱ) was continuously monitored. 1% ropivacainc 5 mg/kg was injected iv. A bolus of 20% lipid emulsion 5 ml/kg was then injected iv in group B, while in group A equal volume of normal saline was administered instead of 20% lipid emulsion. The animals were sacrificed at 5, 10,20, 40, 60 and 120 min after ropivacaine infusion (5 animals at each time point). Blood samples and myocardial specimens were taken for determination of plasma and myocardial ropivacaine levels by HPLC. Results Plasma ropivacaine concentration at 20 min after ropivacaine administration was significantly higher in group B than in group A. The myocardial ropivacaine concents at 5, 10 min after ropivacaine administration were significantly lower in group B than in group A. Conclusion 20% lipid emulsion infusion can bind ropivacaine and decreasee myocardial ropivacaine content thus reducing the cardiac toxicity of ropivacaine.

BACKGROUND:At present, the common filing materials used to correct secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity include conchae cartilage, costal cartilage, Medpor implants, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), alogenic acelular dermal matrix. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the therapeutic effects of comprehensive procedures with alogenic acelular dermal matrix or ePTFE for secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity. METHODS: Thirty-six patients with secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity were enroled, including 19 males and 17 females, aged 15-32 years. Alogenic acelular dermal matrix (n=22) or ePTFE (n=14) was used to correct nasal base colapse deformities. Anthropometry method was employed to make measurements. Fixed-point measurement was performed based on patient's pictures before and after correction. Long-term effects of these two kinds of filing materials were analyzed and assessed objectively and quantitatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After the folow-up of 6 months, al the patients were satisfied with their results, and no infection and no exposure occurred. The treatment effect of the alogenic acelular dermal matrix group was excelent in 16 cases and good in 6 cases; there were 10 cases of excelent and 4 cases of good in the ePTFE group. The objective indicators in the two groups were al improved at 6 months after correction (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that alogenic acelular dermal matrix or ePTFE is useful to correct secondary unilateral cleft lip nasal deformity.
