Objective To study the effects of nifedipine and mibefradil on the cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration on the HEC-1 A in vitro and also study the mRNA and protein expression levels of the calcium channel alpha1 D( Cav1.3 ) and calcium channel alpha1G (Cav3.1 ) to discuss the effects of the calcium antagonists on the mechanisms of the endometrial carcinoma.Methods ( 1 ) Add 10 μmol/L nifedipine and mibefradil at 15 minutes before adding 10 μmol/L 17β-estradiol( 17β-E2 ) and 100 μmol/L b-estradiol-6-(O-carboxymethyl) oxime(E2-BSA) to the HEC-1A in different time including 0,5,15,30,60,120 minutes.Then the changes of mRNA and protein were detected by reverse transcripiton( RT)-PCR and western-blot.(2)Add 1.25,2.5,5,10,20,40,80,100 μmol/L nifedipine and mibefradil to the HEC-1 A at 24,48,96 hours to detect the cell proliferation by 3-( 4,5 )-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-diphenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) method.(3) Add 10 μmol/L nifedipine and mibefradil to the HEC-1A,then detect the apoptosis at 0 minute,30 minutes,1 hour,6 hours,24 hours and migration in vitro at 36 hours with transwell methods.Results ( 1 ) After the pretreated effect of the nifedipine before 17β-E2,the mRNA express of Cav1.3 genes was lowest at 15 minutes,and returned to the control level after 30 minutes.The protein level didn't change very much in 30 minutes,but rose after 60 minutes.The Cav3.1 genes mRNA express was lowest at 5 minutes,rose at 30 minutes and returned to the 0 minute level gradually.(2) After the pretreated effect of the nifedipine before E2-BSA,the Cav1.3 genes mRNA was lowest at 5 minutes and returned at 15 minutes.The protein level rose gradually in 15 minutes but reduced after 15 minutes.The Cav3.1 mRNA and protein level were reduced at every time point.(3) After the pretreated effect of the mibefradil before 17β-E2,there was no change of mRNA expression of Cav1.3 genes.The protein level rose at 15 and 60 minutes,there was no change in any other time.The Cav3.1 genes mRNA were gradually reduced and the protein level rose at 15 minutes,and there was no change in any other times.(4) After the pretreated effect of the mibefradil before E2-BSA,the mRNA and protein of Cav1.3 levels were reduced after 15 minutes.There was no mRNA expression of Cav3.1,while the protein level was lowest at 15 minutes.(5)Nifedipine and mibefradil affected HEC-1A proliferation depended on the different concentration and interval time points.There was significant difference than those in control group ( P < 0.05 ).( 6 ) There were statistical differences in apoptosis rate after adding nifedipine ( P < 0.05 ),while rose at mibefradil treated the same time ( 24 hours:8.41 ± 0.07,0 minute:3.74 ± 0.18 ; P < 0.05 ).(7) The numbers of stained cells after both nifedipine and mibefradil treated reduced more than control group.Conclusions ( 1 ) Nifedipine and mibefradil could inhibit both the effect of the estrogen on the L-type and T-type calcium channel in short time,meanwhile the mibefradil effects last long time. (2) The inhibited effect of the mibefradil on the proliferation,apoptosis and migration of HEC-1A cells in vitro is more significant than that by nifedidipine.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of iNOS in the middle and late stage of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and the effect of L-Arginine(L-Arg) on these stage.MethodsThirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups.All rats except those in control group were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with a single dose (50 mg/kg) of MCT to induce PH.Then the L3 and L5 groups were injected ip with 500 mg/kg L-Arg daily for 3 weeks and 5weeks respectively,the M3 and M5groups received a daily ip injection of the same amount of saline as L-Arg for 3 weeks and 5 weeks respectively; the same amount of saline was injected ip daily in control group for 5 weeks.Right ventricular systolic pressure(RVSP) was measured before lungs were excised for immunohistochemistry at the end of experiments. ResultsThe expressions of iNOS and elastin in M3 and M5 were higher compared to the control group,but L-Arg partly reduced the expressions of iNOS and elastin both at 3weeks and 5 weeks post-MCT.The reduction of eNOS expression in L3 and L5 groups were lower compared to M3 and M5 groups,but the eNOS expression in L3 and L5 groups were still lower than control group.ConclusionDuring the middle and late stage of PH,the expression of eNOS was decreased.The expression of iNOS was induced,which would produce numerous NO.However,these NO had no benefit on the development of PH.L-Arg could restore the balance of eNOS and iNOS,and could inhibit the development of PH,which may provide a new clues to explore the pathogenesis and treatment of PH.

AIM:To evaluate the inhibitory effect of FRNK on the phosphorylation of FAK and apoptosis in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). METHODS: After stimulated with fibronectin, HSCs was transfected with FRNK plasmid by cationic liposome method. The apoptosis of FRNK-induced HSCs was examined by Annexin-V/propidium iodide double-labeled flow cytometry (FCM), gel electrophoresis and transmission electron microscope. The protein levels of FRNK, FAK and p-FAK (Tyr397) in HSCs were assayed by Western blotting, and RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of mRNA. RESULTS: The expression of FRNK was enhanced and the phosphorylation of FAK was inhibited after FRNK was transiently transfected into HSCs in vitro. The apoptotic rate in HSCs exposed to FRNK plasmid for 48 h was higher than that in the non-FRNK plasmid group [(25.37?1.92) % vs (9.28?1.05) %, P

Objective To study the effects of an extended-interval dosing regimen of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a) in the treatment of adenomyosis. Methods 20 patients with adenomyosis who asked for medicine treatment were divided into two groups randomly(n=10). The patients in the study group were given four doses of triptorelin depot 3. 75mg every 6 weeks in a new extended-interval dosing regimen. The other patients in the control group were given triptorelin 3.75mg in the conventional depot regimen of six doses,each given 4 weeks apart. The changes of degree of dysmenorrhea and the uterine volume were investigated. And the level of sexual hormone was also detected both before and after therapy.Results After six months of therapy,the reliving rate of dysmenorrheal was 100% both in the new regimen and the conventional regimen. The uterine volume was reduced at 46.7 % and 47. 5 % . And the level of LH, FSH and E2 were decreased significantly(P 0.05).Conclusion The use of the extended-interval dosing regimen of triptorelin depot in adenomyosis results in a consistent hypoestrogenised state,which is similar to that achieved by the conventional regimen. The new regimen thus reduces the cost of treatment obviously.

Objective To probe into the current services and outcomes of township hospitals following their transformation, and their future positioning of functionality. Methods Pinpointing townships A, B and C as samples from a district in Beijing, in which field surveys were made in the township hospitals to learn their services, service provision methods and outcomes. Results Among the current services provided by these three hospitals, those of public health and primary healthcare nature in hospital A account for 50% each; those in hospital B account for 70% and 30% respectively; those in hospital C account for 60% and 40% respectively. Recommendable services provided in these hospitals include universal coverage of medical files, management of infectious diseases, public health emergency management, and immunization. Conclusion Township hospitals as the center of the 3-tier rural health service network, deserve a repositioning of their functionality to fit the health needs of residents at large.
