Objective To study the relationship between IP 3 and detrusor cell contraction mediated by M 3R. Methods [3H]-IP contents of human cultured detrusor cells were detected after stimulated by carbachol,atropine,methoctramine and 4-DAMP respectively. Results [3H]-IP contents increased with carbachol concentration.On the different concentrations (10 -9、10 -8、10 -7、10 -6、10 -5、10 -4 mmol/L )of 4-DAMP,[3H]-IP contents were 3 926.57?273.29、2 780.52?211.09、2436.84?153.62、1 973.22?164.71、1 372.38?141.35 and 1 107.98?920.45 cpm respectively.On the some concertrations of Atropine,[3H]-IP contents were 3 602.69?280.17,2 891.31?207.45,1 983.97?145.74,1 269.57? 105.31,1 106.37?75.23,927.50?77.36/min,respectively.On the same concentrations of methoctramine, the [3H]-IP contents was 4 462.74?360.69、3 938.61?327.13、3 315.45?270.36、3 063.19? 246.79、2927.37?226.45 and 2 836.55?241.63 cpm.This donoted that 4-DAMP and atropine signficantly inhibited the effect of carbachol on PI decomposition(P0.05). Conclusions M 3R is much related to IP 3.

Objective To evaluate clinical significance of detrusor leak point pressure (DLPP) in the damage of the upper urinary tract secondary to neurogenic voiding dysfunction. Methods 38 cases of voiding dysfunction received the urodynamic test,especially detecting of detrusor leak point pressure. Results 38 cases were divided into 2 groups by DLPP of 4.0 kPa,26 in high DLPP group and 12 in low DLPP group.The bladder capacity of the high pressure group is (422.95?183.27)ml,significantly less than the low pressure group (464.83?106.43)ml,and its compliance is lower as well as with DSD.Clinical results of B ultrasound,IVU,BUN,Cr show that the high pressure group has more serious than that in the low pressure group. Conclusions DLPP is valuable in evaluating the damage of upper urinary tract secondary to neurogenic voiding dysfunction.

Objective To study the functional changes of gap junctional mediated intercellular communication in detrusor instability so as to demonstrate the feasibility of blocking excitatory communication as the target of therapy for DI. Methods The function of GJIC in the cultured bladder detrusor cells were detected by FRAP. Results At the fourth minutes after bleaching,the mean fluorescences recovery rates of the DI groups bladder detrusor cells was (35.791?0.836)%,the control groups (8.645?0.673)%.The mean fluorescences recovery rates of the DI groups were significant higher than those in control groups (P

Objective To investigate the effect of ? 3-adrenoceptors(? 3-AR) on rat detrusor instability(DI) secondary to bladder outflow obstruction(BOO). Methods Animal models of DI were made in 15 female Wister rats.The filling cystometry was conducted after 6 weeks,and the rats were divided into DI group and detrusor stabitily (DS) group based on the detrusor function. The effects of ? 3-AR agonist BRL37344A on the frequency of contraction and relaxation response to isolated detrusor were examined by means of the in vitro detrusor strip study.And the expression of ? 3-AR subtypes mRNA was investigated in rat detrusor muscle by RT-PCR. Results The occurrence rate of DI was 67%(10/15).BRL37344A could inhibit the contraction frequence and amplitude of the isolated detrusor which was concentration-dependent.The intensity did differ significantly between normal controls or DS group and DI group.The relative contents of ? 3-adrenoceptor mRNA in DI group,controls and DS group were 10.27?3.54,19.84?2.62 and 18.38?1.95.There was a significant decrease in the concentration of ? 3-adrenoceptors in DI group compared with controls and DS group( P

Objective To isolate and identify advanced oxidation protein products from human serum albumin (AOPP-HSA), expecting to search for a method of preparing highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA. Methods AOPP-HSA crude products were prepared in vitro by exposing HSA to HOCl. AOPP-HSA was isolated by gel chromatography and ion-exchange HPLC. Its structural features and biological activities were characterized by UV and fluorescence spectrum, SDS-PAGE, and the experiment of TNF-? release from monocytes. Results The isolated protein was purified up to 99.4% and was dityrosine-containing protein cross-linking products with molecular weight of 700?10 3. It possessed the ability of triggering the considerable release of TNF-? from monocytes. Conclusion Highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA can be successfully prepared by above-mentioned two-step chromatography from AOPP-HSA crude products, which builds a basis for further study of AOPP.

Objective To observe the cytotoxicity of Ad-HO-1 and its capacity of mediating the expression of HO-1 in cultured HK-2 cells. Methods The HK-2 cells were infected by Ad-HO-1 with 100, 200 and 400 MOI for 3 h, followed by the green fluorescence observation 2 days later. The live cells ratio was detected 2 and 4 days later. The expression of HO-1 and GFP in HK-2 were detected under laser scan confocal microscope. The expression of HO-1 was detectee by Western blot analysis. 3H-TdR was used to assay the ability of HO-2 cells infected with Ad-HO-1 to inhibit the PBMC proliferation. Results Over 90% HK-2 cells expressed green fluorescence after infected by Ad-HO-1 (MOI 200) for 2 days. The live cell ratio at 2 and 4 days had not any difference from those of the control group. The expressions of HO-1 and GFP in the Ad-HO-1 transfected HK-2 cells were determined under laser scan confocal microscope. The locations of these two proteins were the same. HK-2 cells infected by Ad-HO-1 had protein immune blot strap combined with HO-1 antibody. When the MOI of Adv-HO-1 was 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10, the proliferative capacity of PBMC was inhibited significantly. Conclusion The stable expression of HO-1 mediated by Ad-HO-1 in cultured tubular epithelial cells can inhibit the cell proliferation of PBMC.

Objective To investigate the effects of nonadrenergic noncholinergic (NANC) neuro transmitter on the frequency and strength of the automatic contractility of detrusor strip. Methods Cystometry was performed to observe the occurance of detrusor instability (DI) after 6 weeks of Wistar rats LUT. Then the rats were sacrified and their detrusors were made into strips to observe the effect of NANC vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and adenosine triphoate(ATP) on the frequency and the strength of automatic contractility. Results The occurrence rate of DI was 62% after 6 weeks of obstruction of LUT; VIP and ATP could significantly inhibit the automatic contraction ability of detrusor strip, decreasing the frequency and the strength of the automatic contraction of detrusor ( P 0.05). Conclusions VIP and ATP can significantly inhibit the frequency and strength of the automatic contractibility of normal and obstructive detrusor.
