Objective To observe the vascular collagen remodeling, apoptosis and Bcl-2/Bax of vascular smooth muscle cells in carotid artery on SHR . Methods 12 SHR treated with Irbesartan ,12 SHR without treated Irbesartan ,12 wistar rats were normotensive control group. The vascular volume fraction of Collagen were determined by picrosirius red staining .The expression of the proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Immunhistochemia,VSMC apoptosis was identified by in situ TDT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling(TUNEL). Results Significant Fibrosis exists in carotid artery of SHR. After 20 week's treating, the vascular volume fraction of Collagen and the ratio of wall/cavity were descended, but weren't parallel. The expression of the protein Bcl-2 and APOI were higher than the subjects of normotensive control, its reduced after treating; The expression of the proteins Bax was similar with control, it increased after treating. Conclusions The results suggest that vascular collagen remodeling exist, its maybe related with apoptosis , the proteins Bcl-2 and Bax of VSMC. The Irbesartan can treat it.

Objective To observe the effects of White Mange Mixture on the content of VEGF and the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2 of HaCaT cells;To explore its mechanism. Methods HaCaT cells were cultured in vitro to establish psoriasis experimental model. SD rats were randomly divided into the blank serum group, white mange mixture of low-, medium- and high- dose groups and acitretin group, meanwhile to set up blank control group. Cultured HaCaT cells model were intervened with different medicine serum. ELISA was applied to detect the content of VEGF. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2.Results Compared with the blank control group, White Mange Mixture of low-, medium- and high-dose groups interventing HaCaT cells could obviously inhibit the secretion of VEGF and decrease the genetic and protein expression of VEGFR-2 in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion White Mange Mixture plays a role in the treatment of psoriasis possibly through inhibiting the content of VEGF and decreasing the genetic and protein expressions of VEGFR-2.

Objective To investigate the effect of Xuefuzhuyu granule combined Irbesartan in reversing the carotid vascular remodeling of essential hypertension(EH) patients. Methods 61 EH patients were enrolled in this study. 29 cases of EH were treated with Irbesartan, 32 cases were treated with Xuefuzhuyu granule and Irbesartan, and 28 normotensive subjects served as control. Color dopplor ultrasound were adopted to measure IMT and LD of carotid. Results After treated for 9～12 months, the IMT and IMT/LD in EH patietns treated by Xuefuzhuyu granule and Irbesartan significantly decreased than those in EH patients treated only by Irbesartan. Conclusion Xuefuzhuyu granule was beneficial to reversing the carotid vascular remodeling in EH patients.

Rat brain kinesin is a conventional kinesin that uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to walk along the microtubule progressively. Studying how the chemical energy in ATP is utilized for mechanical movement is important to understand this moving function. The monomeric motor domain, rK354, was crystallized. An ATP analog, AMPPNP, was soaked in the active site. Comparing the complex structure of rK354 x AMPPNP and that of rK354ADP, a hypothesis is proposed that Glu237 in the Switch II region sensors the presence of gamma-phosphate and transfers the signal to the microtubule binding region.

Kinesin is a motor protein that uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to move along the microtubule system. To investigate how the chemical energy stored in ATP is converted to mechanical movement, the corresponding N-terminal region of rat brain kinesin was expressed in BL21-Codon Plus (DE3)-RP competent cells. After SP-cation exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, the protein yield reached 10 mg/L culture with the purity above 95%. The purified protein had ATPase activity and specifically reacted with the kinesin antibody in the Western blotting analysis. The purified kinesin was crystallized under the following condition: 1.7 mol/L (NH4)2SO4, 500 mmol/L NaCl, 20% glycerol. The kinesin crystal can diffract up to 2.0 angstroms resolution.

[ABSTRACT]AIM:ToinvestigatetheroleofquercetinintheapoptosisofhumanbreastcancercelllineMCF-7 and the association with Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway.METHODS: The apoptosis model of MCF-7 cells was estab-lished by the induction with quercetin .The morphological characteristics of apoptotic MCF-7 cells were observed under transmission electron microscope .The apoptotic rates and alternation of mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm ) in the MCF-7 cells were measured by flow cytometry using fluorescein labeled Annexin V-FITC/PI and JC-1, respectively.FasL neutralizing antibody was applied to block the apoptosis .The expression of Fas/FasL on the cells was detected by immuno-fluorescence technique and flow cytometry , respectively.The influence of SB203580 (an inhibitor of p38 MAPK) on the expression of Fas/FasL was also examined by flow cytometry .The protein levels of p 38 MAPK and p-p38 MAPK were de-termined by Western blot .RESULTS: The phenomenon of nuclear condensation and marginalization in the MCF -7 cells treated with quercetin at 80.0 μmol/L for 48 h was observed under transmission electron microscope .Compared with the control cells , theΔψm was decreased by 17.4%, 44.3% and 68.9% in the MCF-7 cells treated with quercetin at 80.0μmol/L for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively .The apoptotic rates of MCF-7 cells treated with quercetin at 80.0 μmol/L for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h were (10.2 ±3.3)%, (28.9 ±7.5)%and (39.2 ±8.9)%, respectively.However, the apop-totic rates were decreased to (8.2 ±2.8)%, (19.2 ±5.3)% and (22.5 ±6.9)% after the cells were pretreated with FasL neutralizing antibody , respectively .When MCF-7 cells were treated with quercetin for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, Fas/FasL expression rates were increased in a time-dependent manner , which were largely inhibited by SB203580.The protein level of p38 MAPK was not changed obviously , but the protein level of p-p38 MAPK was significantly increased at 48 h and 72 h.CONCLUSION: Quercetin up-regulates the expression of Fas/FasL on MCF-7 cells, and induces apoptosis via Fas/FasL pathway .Meanwhile , p-p38 MAPK is potentially critical signaling molecule for up-regulating the expression of Fas/FasL.

Aim To study the effect of leuprorelin acetate microspheres (LE ms) on endometriosis in rats, and compare the efficacy of material drug (LE), domestic and imported LE ms (enanton). Methods Endometriosis was induced by endometrial implant in rats. Then the animals were treated with LE (20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ? 28 d ,sc), enanton(20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ,sc)and domestic LE ms ( 2,20,200 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ,sc). Results Implants in control group continued to grow, while those in groups treated with drugs shrinked significantly, and domestic LE ms could produce dose dependent inhibitory effect on the growth of endometrial implant in rats. Conclusion The domestic LE ms at the single dose of 20 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 has the same effectiveness as enanton and routine injection with the same does of LE for 28 days.
