1.The calcium antagonism of hegan-zhupi decoction——Effects of HZD,magneseium ion and diltiazem on cultured rat liver cells injured by CCl_4
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
The protecting effects of HZD, DZ and Mg~(2+) on isolated cultured rat li ver cells injured by CCl_4 was compared in this article. The results showed that HZD (15?l/ml)or DZ(10~(-4)M)or Mg~(2+)(4.8?10~(-3)M)added to the liquid culture of rat liver cells, inhibited the overloading of calcium ions and the leakage of LDH and GOT in hepatocytes effectively. The contents of Ca~(2+) ion were positively related to the leakage of enzymes.The intensity of inhibition effects to the calcium overloading and the enzyme leakage in HZD were situated between those in DZ and Mg~(2+).

0.05). Of 98 cagE positive isolates, 14(14.3%) were cagA negative. Conclusion Most of the H. pylori isolates in Shanghai region may have intact cag PAI. cagE, could be taken as the marker for the presence of cag PAI. There is no correlation between the integrality of cag PAI and the clinical outcome of H. pylori of infection.

Objective The normothermic isolated contracting rat heart model was used to investigate the mechanism of protective effect of propofol on left ventricular function and myocardial metabolism against ischemia-reperfusion injury by determination of the catecholamme concentration in the coronary outflow. Methods forty healthy male SD rats weighing 310-450 g were randomly divided into 4 groups of each 10 animals: control group, propofol 10?mol/L (P10), 50?mol/L (P50) and 100?mol/L (P100). The animal were sacrificed by knock-out and the heart was immediately removed. The aorta was connected to a Larigendorff apparatus and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated (95% O, and 5% CO2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) for 5 min. Then the left ventricle was perfused through a cannula inserted in pulmonary vein at a constant pressure of 12.5 cm H2O (preload). The pressure at aorta outflow was 90 cm H2O (afterload). Different concentrations of propofol in KHB were prepared. Global ischemia of the heart was induced by suspension of perfusion for 25 min followed by 30 min reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF), aortic flow (AF), cardiac output (CO = AF + CF), HR, left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVPSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP = LVPSP-LVEDP) and the product of LVDP and HR were measured and recorded 5 min and immediately before ischemia and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min following reperfusion. Coronary outflow was collected for determination of creatine kinase (CK) and catecholamine ( epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) concentrations.Results Before ischemia CF was significantly higher and CO, HR, LVPSP and LVDP ? HR were significantly lower in the 3 propofol groups in comparison with the controls. During reperfusion CF, CO, HR, LVPSP and LVEDP recovered much better in the propofol groups than those in control group. In group P50 LVDP ? HR reached 88.7% of the pre-ischemic value while in control group only 56.3% . The CK and catecholamine concentrations were not significantly different among the 4 groups before ischemia. During reperfusion CK, epinephrine and noeepinepherine concentrations were significantly lower in propofol groups than in control group (P

Objective To evaluate the effect of green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)and ultraviolet B (UVB) on the expression of aquaporin 3 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) signaling pathway in keratinocytes.Methods Twenty healthy human subjects were enrolled in this study.Both legs of each subjects were separated into 4 areas to remain untreated (control area),be topically treated with 3% and 1% EGCG cream and the vehicle of EGCG cream respectively once a day for 2 weeks followed by the measurement of skin moisture content and transepidermal water loss (TEWL).Cultured keratinocytes were classified into various groups to be irradiated with different doses (10,20 and 30 mJ/cm2) of UVB,or be pretreated with different concentrations of EGCG (10-7,10-6,10-5 mol/L) or EGFR/ERK phosphorylation inhibitors for 1 hour followed by irradiation with UVB of 30 mJ/cm2.After various durations of additional culture,Western blot was conducted to quantify the expression of AQP3 and phosphorylated-EGFR (p-EGFR) and-ERK (p-ERK) of keratinocytes.Data were processed by SPSS 10.0 software,and statistical analysis was carried out by t test.Results Skin moisture content was significantly increased,while TEWL was decreased in healthy skin after treatment with 1% and 3% EGCG cream compared with vehicle-treated skin areas and untreated skin areas.Increased AQP3 expression was observed in keratinocytes pretreated with EGCG of 10-7,10-6,10-5 mol/L (172.36 ± 12.42,320.66 ± 15.51 and 368.10 ± 11.39 vs.100.00,t =12.16,26.75 and 38.62 respectively,all P < 0.05) and in those pretreated with the EGFR inhibitor PD153035 of 1.0 μmol/L and ERK inhibitor U0126 of 10 μmol/L (413.85 ± 25.27 and 268.85 ± 16.33 vs.100.00,t =35.16,19.25 respectively,both P < 0.05)compared with those irradiated with UVB of 30 mJ/cm2 alone.UVB irradiation stimulated the phosphorylation of EGFR/ERK in keratinocytes,and the stimulation was markedly inhibited by the pre-treatment with EGCG of 10-7,10-6 and 10-5 mol/L (all P < 0.05).Conclusions EGCG can enhance skin barrier function.AQP3 expression is down-regulated by UVB irradiation in keratinoctyes,while EGCG can inhibit the downregulation likely by suppressing the UVB-induced activation of EGFR and ERK.

Objective To assess the association between polymorphism within the interleukin-10 receptor cDNA gene (IL-10R) and Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The IL-10R genotypes of 94 SLE patients and 80 healthy subjects were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism method (RT-PCR-SSCP), RT-PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and DNA sequencing. Results There were significant differences in the IL-10R2 genotype frequencies of these two groups. The IL-10R2 G520/G520 genotype increased the risk of developing SLE (OR = 0.515, 95% CI 0.414-0.579, P = 0.004) and individuals who had G520/A520 genotype also had a higher susceptibility to SLE (OR = 1.968, 95% CI 0.981-3.949, P = 0.055). There was no significant association between SLE and IL-10R1 genotypes. The risk of developing SLE was detected in the individuals who had the combination of IL-10R1 G241/G241 and IL-10R2 G520/G520 (OR = 0.515, 95% CI 0.444-0.597, P = 0.004). Conclusion The IL-10R2 genotypes of G520/G520 and G520/A520 as well as the combination of genotypes IL-10R1G241/G241 and IL-10R2 G520/G520 may increase the susceptibility to SLE in Chinese people.

AIM: To investigate the clinic effect of the femoral neck fracture (FNF) with percutaneous internal fixation of hollow screw Ti-nails. METHODS: A total of 57 patients with closed FNF were recruited from Department of Orthopaedics in the First Mine Hospital of Pingdingshan Coal Group from February 2001 to December 2005. They were treated with 3 hollow screw Ti-nails (produce by Shanghai Qunli Medical Devices Co., Ltd) in 5-mm diameter under C-arm X-ray monitoring after close reduction by hand, punctured with 4-6 bone round nails in 2.5-mm diameter through skin for prefixation. The patients were encouraged to stretch and flex muscles early and perform articular physiological movement. The criteria of outcomes: Excellent: the patients were completely cured in six months after surgery, no pain was found in diseased coxa, the articular movement was normal, and they could walk freely half one year after surgey. Good: The fracture was cured in 9 months lately or no healing, there was a little ache in diseased coxa, the articular movement was limited, and they could walk normally in 10-12 months after surgery and recover slight work. Bad: The fractures were not cured, there were absorption, shifting, and aching in fracture joint early, and they need walk with walking stick. RESULTS: There were 55 cases followed up for 9 months, 51 cases for 18 months, and 57 cases for 42 months.①The curative effect of FNF by internal fixation was excellent in 27 cases, good in 20 cases and bad in 10 cases. ②Host response: 6 patients suffered from fracture shift due to screw-nail displacement, 4 patients got bone un-union, 6 patients experienced femoral head necrosis, and 2 patients got ache at bone fracture and were limited for articulation movement. No infection and rejection happened among 57 patients. CONCLUSION: The treatment of AO cannula Ti-screws internal fixation under closed reduction is effective for FNF, and no abnormal biocompatibility between materials and host appears in the clinical follow-up.
