The cells sense direction is closely related with the proteins that contain PH (pleckstrin homology) domain. PH domain has been found in about 60 proteins, many of which could activate the sequent events of signal transduction via combining with the related binding sites on the surface of chematactic cel ls. The characteristics of this combining are: a.rapid and transient; b.It is only related to the concentration gradient of surroundings outside cells, whi ch is the base of spatial model; c.The distribution of the binding sites on th e cell membrane changes when the researchers altered the position of the chemoat tractant. This is the base of temporal model. To deeply investigate the effects of all kinds of proteins which contain PH domain on cells sense of direction will greatly promote the research of this field, and hence, has great theoretica l significance.

Objective To survey and analyze the etiology of pericardial effusion in different age patients. Methods The data of 450 patients who were diagnosed as pericardial effusion were studied retrospectively. The pathogenesis of pericardial effusion were analyzed and compared among the five age groups : juvenile group (0-19 years),young group (20-39 years),middle age group (40-59 years), aged group (60-79 years) and existed advanced age group (≥80 years). Results The different pathogenesis of pericardial effusion existed in different age groups. The first three causes are tumor, tuberculous, heart failure in all patients. As a pathogeny, cardiopulmonary insufficiency induced pericardial effusions constitute the majority (about 50%) in the advanced age group. Tumor, heart failure are the main causes in aged group. In middle age group, tumor and tuberculous are the most frequent pathogenesis, while the tuberculous is the principal causes in juvenile and young groups. Conclusions The rate of tumor, heart failure, lung infection raised along with the age increasing in the patients with pericardial effusion, meanwhile the cases of tuberculoses declined. Attention should be given to this tendency on the diagnosis and treatment of the patients with pericardial effusions.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-) and hypersen-sitivity-C reactive protein ( hs-CRP ) in elderly patients with chronic heart failure ( CHF ) .Methods 85 elderly patients with CHF were randomly selected as the CHF group ,and 85 healthy pepole were chosen as the healthy control group .All subjects were taken fasting blood in the morning ,the TNF-αand hs-CRP levels were detected and compared between the two groups .The differences of plasma TNF-αand hs-CRP levels in different grades of CHF patients were also observed .Results The TNF-αand hs-CRP levels of the CHF group were significantly higher than those of the healthy control group(t=110.86,25.63,all P<0.05).With the elevation of heart function classification ,the TNF-αand hs-CRP levels gradually increased ,and compared with the previous grade ,the differences were statistically signifi-cant(F=7.65,16.75,all P<0.05).The results of linear correlation analysis showed that the levels of TNF-αand hs-CRP were negatively correlated with the LVEF (r1 =0.78,P<0.05;r2=0.71,P<0.05).The TNF-αand hs-CRP were positively correlated (r =0.83,P <0.05).Conclusion The plasma TNF-αand hs-CRP levels of elderly patients with CHF are increased ,and their levels are closely related with the heart function .

AIM To study the effect of genistein (GST), a protein tyrosine kinases inhibitor, on L-type calcium channel currents (Iba,L or Ica,L, dependent on permeating ion used) in freshly dispersed colon smooth muscle cells from guinea-pig. METHODS Single colon smooth muscle cells were enzymatically dissociated from guinea-pig. L-type calcium currents were measured by conventional whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. RESULTS The peak amplitudes of Iba,L elicited to 10 mV test potential from a holding potential of -80 mV, were reversibly and dose-dependently reduced by GST (10-100 μmol·L-1) with an IC50 value of (39.9±3.6)μmol·L-1. Bath application of GST shifted the steady-state inactivation curves of Iba,L in a hyperpolarized direction (about 10 mV, P＜0.01) without altering their slopes. The peak amplitudes of Iba,L were also inhibited but to a less extent by daidzein, an inactive analogue of GST. Sodium orthovanadate 1 mmol·L-1, a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatases, blocked GST-induced inhibition of Ica,L. CONCLUSION GST can block L-type calcium channel activity in guinea-pig colon smooth muscle cells via tyrosine kinase pathway.
