Aim To investigate the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor Ena on proliferation and cell cycle protein of cardiac fibroblasts and to explore the mechanism of Ena on cardiac fibrosis.Methods CFb was isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,collagen synthesis was observed by hydroxyproline concentration method,flow cytometry,immunofluorescenic and Western blot was used to measure cell cycle and CKI p27kip1 with Ena.Results Ena decreased MTT value and collagen synthesis dramatically;Ena increased phase G0/G1 and decreased phase S percentage ratio in cell cycle;Ena enhanced p27kip1 protein expression in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion The antiproliferative effects of Ena on CFb can be attributed to upregulating CKI p27kip1 protein expression.

Aim To investigate the effects of enalapril(Ena) on cardiac fibrosis induced by isoprenaline(Iso) and to explore its mechanism.Methods Effect of Ena and captopril(Cap) on collagen content,HW/BW,LVI,hydroxyprolnie(Hyp) level,and TGF-?1 protein expression was observed with IH and WB in rats induced by Iso subcutaneous injection.Results Different doses of Ena could decrease HW/BW,LVI and Hyp level dramatically,and decrease TGF-?1 protein expression which was closely related to myocardial fibrosis(MF).Conclusion Enalapril can inhibit TGF-?1 protein expression,by which inhibit myocardial fibrosis.

Objective To observe the effects of ACE inhibitor enalaprilat(Ena) and protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitor chelerythrine(Chele)on proliferation,collagen Ⅰ,cell cycle,PKC and cyclinD1 protein expression of neonatal cardiac fibroblasts(CFb) and to probe its molecular mechanism.Methods CFb of neonatal Wistar rats were divided into control group,AngⅡ group,Chele+AngⅡ group,Chele+AngⅡ+Ena group and AngⅡ+Ena group.CFb were isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,immunocytochemical staining(IC) was used to measure collagen Ⅰ content,Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to detect PKC,cyclinD1 and cell cycle respectively.Results Compared with AngⅡ group,the MTT value decreased dramatically(P

ObjectiveTo study the effect of different treatment on prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods 169 patients with prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc were divided into two groups, the contral group treated with traction and massage, and the comprehensive group treated with acupuncture, physical therapy, and phsiotherapy besides traction and massage. The assessment included index and rate in improvement and efficiency of rehabilitation. Results The index and rate in improvement and efficiency of rehabilitation is better in the comprehensive group than in the contral group. The course of treatment in the comprehensive group is shorter than that in the contral group.

Objective:To study the relationship betwen the mechanism of autoimmune disease and CD4+CD25+ T cell population in NIK mutated mice-aly mice.Methods:NIK mutated mice-aly/aly mice were used as model,aly/+mice as NIK normal control;cell populations were determined by FACS and the thymus structure were analyzed by immunohistochemistry.Results:The CD4+CD25+CD8- population were remarkably decreased in aly mice;and the UEA-1 positive cells were absent in aly mice.Conclusion:The autoimmune disease in aly mice might be the result of deceased the CD4+CD25+ population;the UEA-1 positive cells might play an important role in the development of CD4+CD25+ population.

Objective To study the protective mechanism of Gross Saponin Tribulus Terrestris(GSTT) on the neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes injured by hypoxia and the effect on protein kinase C(PKC).Methods The hypoxia-ischemia model was performed by treating the cultured neonatal rat ventricular cardiocytes with NaCN.The effect of GSTT(100 and 30 mg?L~(-1)) on the contents of ?PKC and ?PKC were detected by flow cytometry and laser confocal microscopy system.Results GSTT up-regulated ?PKC and ?PKC expressions.The contents of ?PKC and ?PKC in GSTT 100 mg?L~(-1) group(1 325.00?53.25,810.55?36.89;66.22?6.23,40.12?2.21) were increased significantly than those in model group(792.00?32.36,492.40?30.15;32.70?2.78,29.28?4.82)(P

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅰ-converting enzyme inhibitor Enalaprilat(Ena) on proliferation and nitric oxide synthase-nitric oxide system of neonatal rat cardiac fibroblasts(CFb)and to probe its anticardiac fibrosis mechanism.Methods The cultured neonatal Wistar rat CFb were divided into control group,model group and three doses of Ena groups.CFb were isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,flow cytometry was used to measure cell cycle,nitric acid reductase method and spectrophotometry were used to detect the NO contents and NOS activity respectively with Ena.Results Ena could inhibit CFb proliferation induced by AngⅡ,there were significant differences of MTT values between model group and Ena groups after treated for 24,48 and 72 h(P

Aim To investigate the effects of angiotensinI-converting enzyme inhibitor enalaprilat on proliferation,Endothelin-1 and Nitric oxide System of neonatal cardiac fibroblasts and to probe its mechanism of inhibiting cardiac fibrosis.Methods CFb was isolated by trypsin digestion method.MTT colorimetric assay was adopted to evaluate cell proliferation,HYP method was used to test the collagen synthesis;FCM for cell cycle;Nitric acid reductase method,radio-immunological method was used to detect NO content and ET-1 activity respectively.Results Ena decreased contents of MTT and HYP dramatically.The percentage ratio of phase G0/G1 was increaseded and the percentage radio of phase S was decreased.NO content was increased and ET-1 activity was dropped in a dose and time-dependent manner.Conclusion The anti-proliferative effects of Ena on CFb can be attributed to dropping endothelin-1 activity and enhancing Nitric oxide.

Objective:To clarify the role of Aire on the production of regulatory T cells on mice.Methods:The distribution of CD4~+CD25~+T cells and the expression of Foxp3 mRNA from Aire~ -/- thymus and spleen were separately analyzed using FACS and real-time PCR.Results:Compared with control mice, the total numbers of thymocytes/splenocytes and T cells from Aire~ -/- mice did not show any significant changes; The total CD4~+CD25~+ regulatory T-cell number and Foxp3 mRNA expression did not exhibit any statistically difference; The ratios of CD4~+CD25~+T cells out of CD4~+T cells were similar based on adult /day3/day7 mice analysis.Conclusion:Aire gene does not affect the production of CD4~+CD25~+ regulatory T cells.

Liver tissues around hydatid from 8 patients with cystic echinococcosis were observed by transmission electron microscopy,normal hepatic tissues of 6 cases were used as control.The results demonstrated predominant atrophy and necrosis of hepatocytes.These changes seem to be the major hepatic lesion in cystic echinococcosis.
