Objective To investigate the effects of Tianshu capsule on vasoactive substances in blood plasma or brain and hemodynamics in migraine animal models. Methods After subcutaneously administration of nitroglycerin (NTG) and tube feeding Tianshu capsule, the radioimmunoassay or spectrophotometry was used to measure the plasma contents of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in rats.The distribution of NOS1, CGRP in rat nucleus tratus spinalis nervi trigemini was detected by immunohistostaining, and the changes of internal carotid artery flow velocity in rabbit were measured by transcranial Doppler.Results The levels of NO, NOS and CGRP were elevated in the plasma of migraine rats. Tianshu capsule could inhibit these increases, and the moderate-and high-dose had much significant effects (P

Objective To investigate the effects of Tianshu capsule(TSC) on the plasma levels of ?-endorphin(?-EP) and 5-Hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and c-fos expression of brain tissue in the rat with migraine.Methods The rat migraine model was established by subcutaneously administration of nitroglycerin.The intragastric administration dose of TSC was divided into three groups as follows:high dose(7.5 g/kg),middle dose(3.75 g/kg) and low dose(1.88 g/kg).TSC was administrated respectively in therapeutic and prophylactic model.The control group and model group were administrated corresponding dose of normal saline.The plasma levels of ?-EP and 5-HT in rat were measured by radioimmunoassay and HPLC respectively;the distribution of ?-EP,5-HT and c-fos in rats periaqueductal grey were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared to model group,the plasma levels of ?-EP were increased remarkably in high dose TSC therapeutic and prophylactic groups,middle dose prophylactic group(all P

This paper has analysed the particularity of practice and teaching of oral and maxillofacial surgery.Binding with the change of medical pattern in recent years,the change of relation of doctors and patients as well as the present of "the People's Republic of China Practical Doctor Law"and "Rules of Sitling Malpractice",it has discussed that we should simultaneously think highly of raising to practice ability, reinforcing education of medical ethics, emphasizing legal consciousness and deepening ethics idea during practice teaching of oral and maxillofacial surgery,which can ensure well development of interns.

Objective To study the effect of adenoviral-delivered short hairpin RNA (shRNA) target against permeability glycoprotein (Pgp) as a new drug in anti-epileptic drug resistance epilepsy treatment and to evaluate its efficiency. Methods MDR Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat estrocyte model was induced by Coriaria Lactone (CL), mainly over-expressing mdrlb. To reverse the drug resistance, astrecytes were treated with constructed replication deficient adencvirus AdS-EGFP-shRNAI-U6 delivering short hairpin (shRNA) target agianst mdrlb gene. Total RNA and protein were extracted from the infected cells, mdr1 b level was detected by Quantitative Real-time PCR whereas Pgp by Western blot, Rhodamine123 (Rho123) efflux ratio by Flow Cytometry. Results AdS-EGFP-shRNA1-U6 was succesfully constucted with high virus titer of 6×1010 pfu/ml. The interference efficency of AdS-EGFP-shRNA1-U6 agianst mdrlb in rat astrecyte model was about 94%. The Rho123 efllux ratio was about 15. 8%, significiently lower than control group which was 56. 2% (F = 127.5, P < 0. 05). Conclusions Pgp over-expression has been successfully suppressed and MDR has been reversed, which may provide a premising approach for refractory epilepsy remedy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nimodipine liposomes for injection(NOLI)on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion(I/R)injury in rats.Methods:Seventy SD rats were divided into NDLI 1.00 mg/kg,NDLI 0.50 mg/kg,NDLI 0.25 mg/kg,nimodipine 1.00mg/kg,solvent 10 mL/kg,sham-operation and ischemic model groups.The model of middle cerelral artery occlusion in rat was replicated.The behavioral scores in rats were assessed in all groups.The infarct volume,brain water content,biochemical indices of brain homogenate and histology were detected.Results:1he NDLI 1.00mg/kg,0.50 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg groups could significantly improve the behavior scores in focal cerebral ischemic rats,reduce the volume of cerebral infarction,decrease the brain water content,improve the activities of Na+,K+-ATPase,Ca2+-ATPase,glutathione(GSH)and superoxide dismutazse(SOD)in brain tissues,reduce conteras of malondialdehyde(MDA),lactic acid(LA)and nitric oxide(NO),and improve histo logical injury.Conclusions:NDLI has the protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.

Background and purpose:As a tumor suppressor gene, ribosomal S6 kinase 4 (RSK4) plays important roles in inhibiting cell proliferation, migration and inducing cell apoptosis. However, the proteins interacting with RSK4 are still unknown. This study aimed to screen proteins interacting with RSK4 in breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 by lfag-tag affnity puriifcation and LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry).Methods:The pcDNA3.1/EGFP-RSK4-Flag eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by inserting full lengthRSK4 gene into vector pcDNA3.1/EGFP-Flag. And then the recombinant plasmids were transferred into MDA-MB-231 cells. Real-timelfuorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression of RSK4 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Affnity puriifcation and LC-MS/MS were applied to screen proteins interacting with RSK4, and the related action mechanism of RSK4 with its interacted proteins was detected based on bioinformatics gene ontology (GO) and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA).Results:Twenty-four proteins, such as serine/threonine-pro-tein kinase 38 (STK38)/serine/threonine-protein kinase 38-like (STK38L), MOB kinase activator 2 (MOB2) and protein arginineN-methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), were successfully identiifed by Flag-tag affnity puriifcation followed by LC-MS/MS analysis, which probably interacted with RSK4. Bioinformatics analysis of the identiifed proteins suggested the proteins interacting with RSK4 were involved in diverse biological pathways, such as apoptosis and cell migration. Conclusion:According to bioinformatics results of proteins interacting with RSK4 identiifed by affnity puriifcation and LC-MS/MS, biological networks of RSK4 are involved in apoptosis and migration in breast cancer cells.

Objective To detect the synergetic effect and mechanism of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)and Trichostatin A(TSA)during inducing apoptosis of HL-60 cells.Methods MTT method was used to test the proliferation of HL-60 cells.Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by FCM.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of Bax and Bcl-2 in the cells treated by As2O3 and(or)TSA.Results As2O3 combined with TSA could inhibit proliferation and induce cell cycle arrest at G0 and G1.The percent of apoptosis induced by combination of As2O3 and TSA was obviously higher than that of either As2O3 or TSA.Bax gene expression was increased,while Bcl-2 gene expression was decreased,Bax/Bel-2 ratio was up-regulated.Conclusion Synergetic effect by As2O3 and TSA is remarkable in inducing apoptosis of HL-60 cells.Cell cycte arrest and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio play an important role in apoptosis of HL-60 cells induced by As2O3,TSA or their combination.
