Objective To study the relationship between the expression of ICAM-1,HLA-DR in the renal allograft of chronic rejection. Methods The expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-DR was assessed in 20 cadaveric renal allografts with chronic rejection using immunohistological techniqu(ABC method). Results In the renal allograft with chronic rejection,the expression of ICAM-1 was increased on the tubular epithelial cells and interstitial microvascullar endothelium,whereas the expression of HLA-DR was up-regulated,especially on the distal tubules. In addition, the expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-DR was associated with lymphcytes infiltration in the local perivascullar and intertubular structure. Conclusions It is suggested that the increased ICAM-1 and HLA-DR expressions might mediate allograft injury and have a role in the augmentation of the response,either in its induction,especially in the interstitial lymphocytes infiltration and antigen presenting or as a target for the effector arm of the reaction.

Objective: To establish the quality standard for Shentaipikang Granules (Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum, Herba Epimedii, Herba Cistanches, Cortex Phellodendri, etc). Methods: Counu Cervi Pantotrichum in this prescription was examined by microscopical identification. Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae were identified by TLC. Radix Rehmanniae was identified by HPLC. Icariin was determined by HPLC. Results: Cornu Cervi Pantotrichum could be examined by microscopical identification, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Dioscoreae and Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae by TLC, and Radix Rehmanniae by HPLC. Icariin showed a good linear relationship at a range of 0.104 ~ 0.624 ?g , r = 0.9998 . The average recovery was 100.1% and RSD was 1.3% ( n =9) respectively. Conclusion: These methods are simple, accurate and specific and can be used for the quality control of Shentaipikang Granules.

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ) can induce cardiac hypertrophy and platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) also stimulates cardiac hypertrophy. Is AngⅡ responsible for the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy by inducing PDGF receptor expression?OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) on the role of cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ in cardiac myocytes so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical prevention and cure of cardiac hypertrophy.DESIGN: Controlled experimental study taking cardiac myocytes of cultured neonatal rats as subjects.SETTING: Department of pathophysiology in a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Department of Pathophysiology, Medical College of Peking University. A total of 80 Wistar rats of either gender, aged 1 - 3 days, were provided by the Animal Center of Medical College, Peking University. Their hearts were removed for myocyte culture in the Cell Culture Laboratory.INTERVENTIONS: The cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes treated with 10-7mol/L Ang Ⅱ were Ang Ⅱ group, and those preincubated with 10-5mol/L PD98059(an antagonist of MAPK) for 30 minutes and then treated with Ang Ⅱ were PD98059 group. Cardiac myocytes of normal neonatal rats were as control group. The expression of PDGF-β was detected by western blot at 24 hours.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Content of PDGF-β receptor in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.RESULTS: The expression of PDGF-β receptor induced by Ang Ⅱ at neonatal rat cardiac myocytes markedly increased at 24 hours (432.41 ± 54.08) compared with that of control group(197.65 ± 44. 10) ( q = 6.77, P< 0.01 ). PDGF-β receptor expression of PD98059 group(317.2 ± 21.12) decreased compared with that of Ang Ⅱ group(q = 3.91, P < 0.05) .However, the expression did not return to the level of control group, and there was significant difference between PD98059 group and control group( q= 3.85, P <0.05).CONCLUSION: The results indicate that angiotensin Ⅱ promotes cardiac hypertrophy through inducing expression of PDGF receptor, in which mitogen activated protein kinase participates in. Maybe it is another important mechanism for Ang Ⅱ -induced cardiac hypertrophy. The results can provide experimental data for the primary and secondary prevention in heart rehabilitation.

AIM: To investigate the role of G?q/11-mediated signal transduction pathway in cardiac hypertrophy induced by angiotensin II (AngII). METHODS: Renal hypertension was performed by placing a sliver clip around the left renal artery(2K1C). Hemodynamic parameters, the ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight, the AngII contents and the activities of phospholipase C (PLC) in myocardium were measured at 1st, 2nd, 4th and 8th week after operation, respectively. The levels of G?q/11 were assayed by Western blot analysis. -leucine incorporation and levels of G?q/11 were measured in cultured neonatal rats ventricular myocyte after AngII stimulation. RESULTS: In 2K1C group, blood pressure and the ratio of left ventricle of heart to body weight were significantly increased compared with sham group between 2nd to 8th week. AngII content increased from 1st to 8th week after operation. Compared with the sham group, levels of G?q/11 in 2K1C group increased by 25.0% and 35.8% at 4th and 8th week( P

Level of PDGF receptor β subunit of aorta was measured by Western Blot analysis. The effect of Ang Ⅱ on PDGF receptor β subunit expression was investigated in culture rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC).RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure obviously increased at 8th week after operation, whereas the level of PDGF receptor β subunit of aorta significantly increased by 126.6% (P<0.05) in 2K1C rats compared with control group. The expression of PDGF receptor β subunit in cultured VSMC stimulated by AngⅡ was higher than that of control by 192.74%(P<0.01). The effect of AngⅡ was inhibited remarkably by pretreated with losartan, a kind of specific AngⅡ receptor 1 (AT1) subtype antagonist and U73122, a kind of phospholipase C inhibitor. The effect was partly blocked by PD98059, which inhibit the activity of mitogen-activated, ERK-activating kinase (MEK).CONCLUSION: AngⅡ-induced PDGF receptor β subunit expression is regulated by the AT1 and its downstream signal molecule-PLC and ERK, might participate in the intracellular signal transduction pathway.
