Objective To investigate cytochrome P450 1A2~* 1C gene polymorphism in Dai and Han nationality volunteers from Dehong autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province. Methods One hundred and seventeen Dai and 112 Han nationality volunteers from Dehong autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province were enrolled in this study. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed in genotyping analysis. Results There were 45 wild-type homozygotes (G/G), 63 heterozygotes (G/A) and 9 homozygotes among 117 Dai nationality volunteers, while 63 wild-type homozygotes (G/G), 44 heterozygotes (G/A) and 5 homozygots among 112 Han nationality volunteers. There was significant difference in the incidences of the genotypes between the two populations (P<0.05). The distribution of the genotypes of either population was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The frequency of the allele A in the 1ocus-2964 of CYP1 A2 was 35% (95% CI30%-40%) and 24% (95% CI 20%-30%) respectively in Dai and Han nationality volunteers. There was significant difference in the frequency between two populations (P<0.05). There was also significant difference in the frequency between Dai nationality volunteers and the populations of other regions. Conclusion CYP1A2~*1C gene polymorphism is one of factors of producing individual and racial variation in pharmacology in Dai and Han people from Dehong autonomous prefecture in Yunnan province.

Objective To investigate the neuromuscular blocking effects and clinical pharmacology of different dosage of mivacurium chloride in infants during sevoflurane anesthesia. Methods Forty ASA I infants undergoing sevoflurane general anesthesia were randomly assigned to tow groups according to the dose level of mivacurium: group1: 200 μg/kg ( n =20) and group2: 250 μg/kg ( n =20) . TOFs were determined synchronously. The onset time of mivacurium, recovery time of spontaneous breathing and cardiovascular reactions were measured. Results The onset time was significantly shortened in group 2 compared with group 1 (P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the recovery time of spontaneous breathing between the two groups. 2 minutes after mivacurium was injected, DBP in group 2 decreased significantly compared with baseline and group 1. 3 minutes after mivacurium was injected,SBP in group 2 decreased significantly compared with baseline and group 1. Conclusion In infants undergoing sevoflurane general anesthesia, the onset time of mivacurium can be shortened when 250μg/kg was administered,but the depression of cardiovascular system may occurr simultaneously.

Objective To study the effects of propofol on cognitive function and expression of BDNF in the cerebral cortex after the traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Forty-eight SD rats treated with the Morris water maze were randomly divided into 3 groups with 16 rats in each group.Rats in the sham group were subjected to the operative procedure but prevented from traumatic brain injury.Rats in the control group and the propofol group were subjected to the traumatic brain injury named Feeney.After the operation,rats in the propofol group were injected propofol for 6 hours.The neurological functional status and the cognitive function of rats were assessed with NSS scores and Morris water maze tests on 3d and 14d post operation.RT-PCR and Westeron Blot were used to detect the expressional changes of BDNF in the injured cerebral cortex.Results Compared with the sham group,NSS scores and the latencies of escape among rats in the control group were increased and times of crossing platform were decreased at 3d and 14 d post operation (P ＜0.01),and the mRNA and protein levels of BDNF were decreased at 3d post operation (P ＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the mRNA and protein levels of BDNF in the propofol treated rats were increased at 3d and 14d post operation (P ＜0.01),NSS scores were lower at 14d (P ＜0.01),the latencies were shorter and the times were increased (P ＜0.01).Conclusion Propofol improves the the expression of BDNF in the injured cerebral cortex and facilitates the recovery of the neurological and cognitive function in rats with traumatic brain.

Objective To investigate the role of HO-1 in inhibition of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced apoptosis in rat hippocampal neurons by sevoflurane preconditioning.Methods Hippoeanlpal neurons of newborn Wistar rats (<48 h) were cultured in vitro.Tne neurons were randomly divided into 6 groups with 108 wells in each group:control group(group C),2% sevoflurane preconditioning group (group S1),OGD group,S1 +OGD group,4% sevoflurane preconditioning+OGD group (group S2+OGD),and 4% sevoflurane preconditioning+ZnPPⅨ+OGD group(group Z).Group C received no treatment.The neurons were cultured for 24 h after 2% sevoflurane preconditioning in group S1.For OGD experiments,the neurons were placed in deoxygenated glucose-free medium and sealed under 95% N2-5% CO2 in an anaerobic chamber equilibrated to 37℃ and 100%humidity for 45 min.then OGD was terminated by replacement of the stored medium and returning the cultures to a standard incubator maintained at 37℃ in 5% C02 and the neurons were cultured for 24 h as described by Ray et al. The OGD model was established after 2% and 4% sevoflurane preconditioning in group S1 + OGD and S2 + OGD respectively. In group Z, when the neurons were preconditioned with 4% sevoflurane, ZnPPⅨ was added to the culture medium at the same time, and the other procedures were the same as those in group S2 + OGD. The neuron viability, apoptesis rate, and expression of HO-I protein and mRNA were detected at 24 h of culture. Results Compared with group C, neuron viability was significantly decreased,apoptosis rate was significantly increased, and expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group OGD, S1 + OGD, S2 + OGD and Z, expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group S1 ( P < 0.01 ), but no significant change was found in neuron viability and apoptosis rate in group S1 ( P > 0.05). Compared with group OGD, neuron viability was significantly increased, apoptosis rate was significantly decreased, and expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA was up-regulated in group S1 + OGD and S2 + OGD ( P < 0.01), but no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group Z ( P > 0.05 ). Neuron viability was significantly higher, apoptosis rate lower and expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA higher in group S2 + OGD than in group S1 + OGD ( P < 0.01). Neuron viability was significantly lower, apoptosis rate higher and expression of HO-1 protein and mRNA lower in group Z than in group S2+OGD(P<0.01).Conclusion HO-1 is involved in the inhibition of OGD-indueed apoptosis in rat hippocampal neurons by sevoflurane preconditioning.

Objective To investigate the effects of down-regulating phosphorylated human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on the proliferation and metastasis in human osteosarcoma cells (U2-OS) in vitro. Methods Various concentrations of HER2 phosphorylation inhibitor lapatinib ditosylate (5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 μmol/L) were adopted to deal with U2-OS. MTT assay was performed to evaluate the cell proliferation during various times (24, 48 and 72 h), and the IC50 value in 24 h was calculated. The value of 10μmol/L (IC50=22.15μmol/L) was chosen to deal with U2-OS cells. The expres-sion level of phosphorylated HER2 (p-HER2) was measured by Western blot assay. The cell migration and invasion abilities were detected by Wound healing and Transwell invasion assays. Results The cell proliferation of U2-OS was significantly inhibited by HER2 phosphorylation inhibitor lapatinib ditosylate in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. During 24 hours, the p-HER2 level was significantly lower in lapatinib ditosylate group than that of negative control group (0.093± 0.033 vs 0.306±0.033), the cell migration rate was significantly lower in lapatinib ditosylate group than that of negative con-trol group (32.70%±3.00%and 94.52%±4.76%), and the trans-membrane cells were significantly lower than those of nega-tive control group (37/HP±5/HP and 85/HP±10/HP), respectively. Conclusion The down-regulating p-HER2 in U2-OS could efficiently inhibit the cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. HER2 has the potential to become a molecular target for anti-osteosarcoma metastasis.
