1.Toll-like receptor and airway remodeling in asthma
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(5):523-526
Bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory diseases in children.Airway remodeling that makes asthma difficult to control is an important pathological progress of asthma.Toll-like receptors (TLR), a kind of pattern recognition receptors, are expressed in a variety of human airway structure cells, such as airway epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, mucus gland cells, etc.It is reported that TLRs play important roles in the regulation of airway remodeling in asthma.This article briefly summarizes the role of TLR in airway remodeling of asthma.
2.Effect of Exercise Preconditioning on the Expression of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide in the Dorsal Root Ganglion of Rats
Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2010;(1):30-33
Objective The goal of this study was to explore the effect of exercise preconditioning on the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP)in the dorsal root ganglion of rats.Methods Fifty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (C) and exercise preconditioning group(EP).Group EP performed intervial treadmill exercise for 3 weeks for establishing exercise preconditioning animal model.The expression of CGRP mRNA in dorsal root ganglion was investigated by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The immunoreaetion of CGRP in dorsal root ganglion was shown by immunohistochemistry.Results There was no significant difference in the expression of CGRP mR.NA in two groups(P>0.05).As compared with the group C,the immunoreaction of CGRP was increased in group EP,and the positive area and mean optical density of CGRP immunoreaction in group PE were significant higher than that in group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Exercise preconditioning does not change the expression of CGRP mRNA in dorsal root ganglion,but enhances the expression of CGRP in dorsal root ganglion to promote the reserve and release of CGRP in peripheral nerve endings and has the same endogenous protection as ischemie preconditioning.

Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 1983;0(04):-
To study the effect of exercise on cardiac calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) using immunnohistochemistry and the technique of computer image analysis, the expression and mechanism of cardiac CGRP on the animal model trained with different exercise intensities were investigated. The result showed that long-term low intensity of exercise was not able to induce obvious change in cardiac CGRP. After long-term moderate intensity of exercise, the expression of cardiac CGRP increased so as to improve blood supply and protect myocardium. Long-term high intensity of exercise decreased expression of cardiac CGRP and weakened the protection of myocardium which could be a chief cause of myocardial ischemia.

Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2003;0(05):-
To study the effect of different exercise intensities on cardiac endocrine function, with radioimmunoassay, immunohistochemistry and the technique of computer image analysis, the level of plasma ANP and the expression of ANP in myocardial cells of rats with different training intensities were investigated. The result showed that with the increasing of exercise intensity,the level of ANP in plasma increased progressively, the expression of ANP in myocardial cells increased remarkably after moderate and heavy exercise training while it decreased remarkably after exhaustive exercise training. Results suggested that different exercise intensities revealed different effects on adaptation of cardiac endocrine function.

To study the effect of exercise on gene expression of natriuretic peptide receptors (NPRs) in the heart, using immunofluorescent method, in situ hybridization, laser confocal scanning microscopy and the technique of computer image analysis, the distribution of NPRs in the heart and the alterations of gene expression of NPRs on the animal model of different training intensity were investigated. The result showed that NPRs located mainly in the endocardium, the sarcolemma of myocardial fiber, the connective tissue around myocardial fiber and the wall of coronary artery branch. After moderate and heavy exercise training, the gene expression of natriuretic peptide receptor-A (NPR-A) upregulated and natriuretic peptide clearance receptor (NPR-C) downregulated, whereas the gene expression of NPR-A downregulated and NPR-C upregulated after exhaustive exercise.

This study is designed to obtain recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rhAChE) and apply it in screening acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. The rhAChE was overexpressed in HEK293 cells transfected by plasmid of pCMV-AChE with the cationic liposome and rhAChE was found to be secreted into cell culture medium. AChE activity was assayed according to modified Ellman method to obtain kinetic parameters. IC so50 values for donepezil compounds of rhAChE were calculated to determine their activities of inhibition. The results showed that Km value was 151.9 micromol.L-1 donepezil inhibited rhAChE in a mixed competitive-noncompetitive way (Ki= 16.03 nmol.L-1, Ki = 18.36 nmol.L-1) and that most new compounds tested exhibited high activities of inhibition on rhAChE. The study suggests that rhAChE is available to be applied in screening AChE inhibitors in vitro.
