A polymer film of vitamin B1 was obtained at a graphite carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetric method in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Cyclic voltammograms of the film electrode in PBS (pH 5) exhibited one pair redox waves, Epa=350 mV,Epc=325 mV,different from monomer vitamin B1. The peak currents of poly-VB1 films was proportional to (scan rate)1/2, which showed that the charge transfer was controlled by diffusion in the polymer film. The Poly-VB1 modified electrode showed a good catalytic ability to dopamine and epinephrine. At the modified electrod, the peak potential for oxidation of dopamine occurred at 250 mV and 200 mV for epinephrine, while they were shifted towards the negative direction 100 mV and 300 mV respectively at the bare glassy carbon electrode . And their peak current had a linear relationship to the concentrations in the range of 8.0×10-7~1.0×10-4 mol/L for dopamine and 1.0×10-6~1.0×10-4 mol/L for epinephrine.

Aim To study the cardiotoxicity of celastrol to zebrafish embryo.Method 48 h post-fertilization zebrafish embryos were used as model for analysis of heart toxicity and were treated with various concentrations of celastrol.6,12,24 h after treatment morphological and functional changes of embryos hearts were observed.Results Cardiotoxicity was not found in embryos during 24 h treatment with 1 ?mol?L-1 concentration of celastrol.Toxic symptoms of embryos were caused by 2,3,4 ?mol?L-1 concentrations of celastrol with appearance of heart linearization,heart membrane hemorrhage and hemocytes accumulation in cardiac region.Moreover,heart rate decreased significantly with increase of concentration and prolongation of treatment.The EC50(24 h)of decrease of heart rate was about 1.78 ?mol?L-1.Conclusion Celastrol is cardiotoxic to zebrafish embryo.

To study the chemical constituents of K. oblongifolia, silica gel column chromatography, MCI and Sephadex LH-20 were used to separate the 70% acetone extract of the stems of K. oblongifolia. The structures of the isolated compounds have been established on the basis of physicochemical and NMR spectroscopic evidence as well as ESI-MS in some cases. Twenty compounds were obtained and identified as heteroclitalignan A (1), kadsulignan F (2), kadoblongifolin C (3), schizanrin F (4), heteroclitalignan C (5), kadsurarin (6), kadsulignan O (7), eburicol (8), meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (9), kadsufolin A (10), tiegusanin M (11), heteroclitin B (12), (7'S)-parabenzlactone (13), angeloylbinankadsurin B (14), propinquain H (15), quercetin (16), kadsulignan P (17), schizanrin G (18), micrandilactone C (19) and (-)-shikimic acid (20). Compouds 1, 5, 8, 11-15, 18 and 20 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Toxicity of compounds 1-10 were evaluated with zebrafish model to observe the effect on its embryonic development and heart function. The results showed that compounds 7, 9 and 10 caused edema of zebrafish embryo and decreased the heart rate of zebrafish, which exhibited interference effect on heart development of zebrafish.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of different concentrations of 17-AAG and EGCG monotherapy or in combination on the induced apoptosis in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to explore new molecular targets for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS MTT colorimetric method and fluorescent staining were used to detect the change of CNE proliferation inhibition rate and cell morphology. And furthermore, the expression level of Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase-3 were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS 1. 17-AAG or EGCG alone had inhibitory effect on the human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells at 24 h, 48h and 72 h, and it was related with time and dose(P<0.01). The inhibition effect of combination of 17-AAG and EGCG was significantly increased,which was time and dose dependent(P<0.01). 2. RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3. The level of Caspase-3 and Bax mRNA expression after treated by 17-AAG and EGCG was significantly higher, and the level of bcl-2 mRNA expression was lower than that after treated by 17-AAG or EGCG alone. CONCLUSION Our investigation implied that 17-AAG and EGCG in combination can effectively inhibit the proliferation of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE cells. The involved mechanisms may be associated with the upregulation of Bax and Caspase-3 expression.

As a model organism, zebrafish have many advantages over other animal models and is suitable for studies on establishment of human disease model and mechanism.In zebrafish, there are two phases of endocrine formation during early development, which are directed by concomitant activity of many signaling pathways.Zebrafish pancreas possess similar cell structure with that of other animals, which can express various endocrine hormones including insulin.The main organs required for metabolic control, such as the pancreas, islet, and insulin sensitive tissue (muscle, liver) are conserved in zebrafish, and the mechanisms of glucose regulation in zebrafish is similar to that seen in mammalian models.These render it an excellent model to study glucose metabolism.Hyperglycemia in zebrafish model can be induced by administration of the diabetogenic drug, streptozotocin (STZ), alternatively immersion of the fish in glucose solution and water, or disturbing of signaling pathways associated with glucose metabolism.Glucose levels in adult zebrafish blood or embryo tissue and phenotype of retinal cell layers or retinal vasculature are the commonly used measurement organs in zebrafish diabetic models.
