Objective To study the effects of estrogens ( 17α-ethynylestradiol and 17β-estradiol ) on the ATP-sensitive potassium channel ( KATP ) activities in the enzymatically ( collagenase and protease ) isolated ICR mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes using inside-out and cell-attached patch clamp techniques .Methods In the inside-out patch configurations, the two estrogens reduced the K ATP channel activities in a dose-dependent manner at -60 mV holding potential ( HP) .Results The half-maximal inhibitory concentration ( IC50 ) of the 17α-esthynylestradiol and the 17β-estradiol were 0.3μmol/L and 0.1 nmol/L, respectively.However, these agents had no effects on the pinacidil-and DNP-induced KATP channel activities in the cell-attached patch configuration.However, the inhibitory effect of KATP channel activities by the 17-estrogens or the anti-estrogens in the excised inside-out patch configuration were abolished by 1 pmol/L PDBu.Conclusions The results of this study demonstrate that some estrogens decrease the K ATP channel activity acting on the inside of the isolated cardiomyocytes , and play a protective role to cardiomyocytes .

Objective To investigate the protective effect of nimodipine on neuron of the rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2,and to clarify their mechanisms.Methods The focal cerebral-ischemia reperfusion model was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)method. 30 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation,model,and nimodipine groups(n=10).The neurological deficit score was performed after 2 h ischemia following 2 h reperfusion.The infarction was observed by TUNEL staining and the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by SP immunohistochemistry method. Results Compared with model group, the number of apoptotic cells of the rats in nimodipine group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),the expression of Bax was significantly decreased (P<0.05),and the Bcl-2 expression was increased significantly(P<0.05).The morphological examination showed that the neurons of the rats in model group had serious necrosis and edema while the number of dead cells in nimodipine treatment group was reduced and the edema was improved.Conclusion Nimodipine has a protective effect on brain tissue of the rats with focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion inj ury, which is closely related to the down-regulation of Bax and up-regulation of Bcl-2 and inhibition of the apoptosis of neuron.

The first generation cell model of MrgX2 was similar to the 20th generation, and the Z factor of MrgX2 cell model was 0.78. In the primary screening for agonist, isoliensinine was identified as a novel agonist targeting receptor MrgX2 with an EC50 of 4.5 μmol/L and IC50 of39.47 μmol/L. Moreover, isoliensinine was validated to activate MrgX2 receptor specifically without cytotoxicity. Conclusion A high-throughput evaluation method for anaphylactic reactions can be established in vitro through calcium mobilization assay. A potential anaphylactogen isoliensinine is identified and validated.

Objective To investigate risk factors of the prognosis of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS).Methods From May 2012 to July 2014,17 cases of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were treated.Clinical data including history of epidemiology,clinical manifestations,complications,physical examination and laboratory test results on admission and the third day after admission were retrospectively analyzed and compared with the death group and recovery group by application of Spearman correlation analysis.Results Elderly male patients with neuropsychiatric symptoms,or abnormal liver function,or abnormal blood clotting function had higher risk of the poor prognosis.In SFTS patients,AST,ALT was significantly increased,AST 539 U/L (229.73,545.4) U/L (r =0.597,P =0.015) was a risk factor affecting prognosis.Elevated blood ammonia indicated serious liver dysfunction and neurological dysfunction which were manifested as irritability,delirium,and trembling limbs.In SFTS patients,platelets were significantly decreased accompanied with mouth ulcers / bleeding gums,gastrointestinal bleeding.PLT 24.88 × 10 9/L-1 (12.75,35.00) ×10 9/L-1 (r=0.557,P=0.005) or APTT 86.06 s (66.88,114.18) (r=0.798,P=0.001) or D-dimmer 9.79 mg / L (4.09,16.51) mg/L (r =0.597,P =0.015) are risk factors affecting poor prognosis.Conclusions On the third days after admission,AST,WBC,PLT,APTT,Ddimmer are risk factors for prognosis of patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome infected by a novel bunyavirus.

Objective:To analyze the variation and evolution characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) genes of influenza B virus circulating in Jining from 2017 to 2020.Methods:Throat swab specimens were collected from patients with influenza-like symptoms in sentinel hospitals and influenza outbreaks in Jining from 2017 to 2020 and tested for influenza B virus nucleic acid. After virus isolation, 20 representative strains of influenza B virus were selected to sequence the full length of HA and NA genes. Phylogenetic trees were constructed and the molecular characteristics were analyzed using bioinformatics software. Results:A total of 4 575 specimens were collected and 842 of them were positive for influenza virus, including 398 (8.7%, 398/4 575) influenza B virus-positive specimens. The positive rate of influenza B virus was 47.27% (398/842). The isolated influenza B virus strains of Victoria (BV) and Yamagata (BY) lineages from 2017 to 2020 shared 98.7%-98.8% and 98.5%-99.1% homology in HA gene with vaccine strains, respectively. The BV lineage strains isolated from 2018 to 2020 belonged to Victoria clade 1A branch and the BY lineage strains isolated from 2017 to 2018 belonged to Yamagata clade 3 branch. Mutations were detected in several antigenic sites, but not in the sites related to NA inhibitor resistance. Conclusions:Mutations in several antigenic sites caused antigenic changes in influenza B virus of BV and BY lineages, which might be related to the outbreaks of influenza B virus infection in Jining during 2017 to 2020.
