DNA replication and RNA biogenesis happen in the cell nucleus,while protein synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm. Integration of these activities depends on function proteins′ selective transport between the two sub-dimensions. It is a signal mediated process, which needs energy and the participation of soluble factors. By introduction of progress on function protein regulated nuclear translocation, its potential medical application has been explored. With deeper investigation in this field, it will significantly promote the design of anti-virus and gene vector therapy.

Aim Based on the effect of total flavonoids extracted from Polygonum perfoliatum L.(TFP) against dimethylnitrosamine(DMN)-induced hepatic fibrosis(HF), to investigate the anti-fibrotic mechanism of TFP.Methods Ninety SD rats were divided into normal group, model group, colchicines(0.1 mg·kg-1) group, and TFP(200, 100, 50 mg·kg-1) group.Except the rats of normal group, other rats were injected intraperitoneally with volume fraction 0.5% DMN solution(2 mL·kg-1) for eight weeks, once every two days.From the first day of modeling, each administration group was given the corresponding dose of drugs to intervene, and the normal group and model group were given an equal volume of solvent, once a day.At the end of the eighth week, the blood and liver tissues were collected.Liver tissue was taken at a fixed position, and the degree of liver tissue was observed by HE staining.The contents of serum ALT, AST, SOD and MDA were measured using colorimetric method;the levels of serum HA, LN, PCⅢand Ⅳ-C were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in liver tissues were detected by ELISA;the expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, TFP(200, 100, 50 mg·kg-1) could improve the liver tissue lesions, reduce the expression of ALT, AST, HA, LN, PCⅢ, IV-C and MDA, increase SOD activity, reduce the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6, and inhibit the expression of α-SMA, TGF-β1, JAK2, STAT3, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3.Conclusion TFP could inhibit DMN-induced HF of rats, which may be involved with antioxidant and inhibiting expression of TGF-β1, JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and related factors of holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscopy in treating mid -upper ureteral calculi.Methods The clinical data of 65 patients with mid -up-per ureteral calculi were retrospectively analyzed.Results The overall stone -free rate was 90.7% (59 /65 ). 4 weeks after operation,the stone -free rate was 94.9%(56 /59).The incidence rate of complications was 3.3%(2 /59).Stone size,hydronephrosis,ureteral stricture and twist,complicated with ureteral polypus were related to the success of lithotripsy(P =0.028).Conclusion Holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscopy in treating mid -upper ureteral calculi is safe and effective,improve surgical techniques and pay attention to cases screening may improve the success rate.

Objective To determine whether specific angiotensin-conventing enzyme inhibitor with ramipril would affect ventricular arrhythmia generation in rabbits after myocardial infarction and discuss the mechanism of its antiarrhymic efficacy.MethodsTwenty-four New Zealand rabbits (Wuhan Laboratory Animal Research Center) were separated into 3 groups:sham-operated (SHAM) group (n =8 ),myocardial infraction (MI) group ( n =8) and myocardial infraction with ramipril (RAM) group ( n =8).SHAM group received a median sternotomy without left ventricular coronary artery ligation.MI and RAM groups' rabbits received a median sternotomy followed by left coronary artery ligation. The successful anterior MI was confirmed by elevation of the ST segment with more than 0.2 mV in lead Ⅱ and Ⅲ.After MI,RAM group rabbits were fed with ramipril [ 1mg/ ( kg · d) ]by intragastric administration for 12 weeks.Before and after MI 12 weeks in three groups.Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation episodes and the monophasic actionpotential duration in epicardium,mid-myocardium and endocardium cadiocytes were recorded.The statistical technique was t-test and ANOVA.Results Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation episodes were markedly decreased in RAM group than that in MI group after 12 weeks [ (2.6 ± 0.8) vs.(12.4 ± 2.9),P ＜0.05 ].After MI 12 weeks,the action potential duration of repolarization 90％ (APD90) of three-tier ventricular myocytes in MI group was prolonged than that before MI [ (258.2 ±21.1 ) vs.(230.1 ±23.2),( 278.0±23.8 ) vs.(245.8±25.4),(242.6±22.7) vs.(227.0±21.7),P＜0.05]; however,it was not significant difference between before and after MI 12w in RAM group (P ＞ 0.05 ).Moreover,the transmural dispersion of repolarization(TDR) was markedly increased after MI 12w in MI group than in SHAM and RAM group [ (36.2 ± 10.2 ) vs.( 18.7 ± 6.2 ),(24.9 ± 8.7 ),P ＜ 0.05 ]; but the TDR was not significant difference between RAM and SHAM group ( 18.7 ± 6.2 ) vs.( 24.9 ± 8.7 ),P ＞ 0.05].ConclusionsRamipril significantly reduced the malignant arrhythmia incidence in rabbits after MI.Mended the abnormal TDR was the mechanism for ramipril to therapy.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the relationship of the classification and risk stratification in senile hypertension with benign prostatic byperplasia (BPH).Methods Totally 376 male senior patients,including 233 senile hypertensive patients and 143 non-hypertensive patients as a control,were enrolled in this study.There were 35 cases of hypertension at level 1,82 cases at level 2,116 cases at level 3.Based on risk stratification of hypertension,there were 3 cases of low-risk,28 cases of medium risk,75 cases of high-risk,127 cases of very high risk.All candidates accepted the International Prostatic Symptom Score (IPSS) assessment before the treatment.Fasting blood glucose (FBG),total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) were determined.Body mass index (BMI) and prostate volume (PV) were calculated.Relationship of classification and risk stratification in hypertension with BPH were analyzed.Results The levels of systolic blood pressurc (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),body weight,BMI,FBG and TC were higher (t=3.883,2.498,2.161,3.399,2.200,2.370,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while serum HDL-C were lower (t=2.036,P＜0.05) in hypertensive patients than in control group.Compared with the control group,IPSS and PV was increased (t =3.432,3.381,both P＜0.01) in hypertension group.Risk rate of hypertensive patients with BPH was 2.03 times (95％CI:1.33-3.11,P＜0.01) as compared with control group.In hypertensive patients,PV and IPSS were higher in level 2 or 3 grade group than in level 1 group (F=6.890,7.576,all P＜0.01).PV and IPSS in high risk and very high risk groups were enhanced as compared with those in low-medium risk group (F=30.608,19.804,all P＜0.01).Pearson analysis showed that PV was positively correlated with SBP,FBG and TC(r=0.223,0.251,0.305,all P＜0.05),while negatively correlated with HDL-C(r =-0.235,P＜0.05).Similarly,IPSS was positively correlated with SBP,DBP and FBG (r=0.396,0.273,0.224,all P＜0.01),while negatively correlated with HDL-C (r =-0.288,P＜ 0.01).Conclusions High incidence of BPH appears in the elderly men with hypertension.The increased PV and IPSS coexist with conventional risk factors of essential hypertension.Development of BPH is closely related to higher blood pressure and risk stratifications of hypertension.

Objective To explore the significance of serum cystatin C (Cys C)and β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels in blood and urine samples in hypertension grading and risk stratifying. Methods One hundred and thirty six cases with primary hypertension were enrolled into the study and classified into three grades and four risk stratifications. The serum Cys C levels were determined by ELISA assay. The blood and urine β2-MG were measured by radioimmunoassay. The serum BUN, Cr concentration were measured by the automatic biochemical analyzer. Results The positive rates of urine β2-MG were the highest index in patients with grade 1 (32%) and low risk hypertension( 8% ) ,followed by serum Cys C levels( grade 1 hypertension 24% ) ,compared with other indices( Ps ＜ 0. 05 ). With the blood pressure elevating, as well as the risk stratification increasing,serum Cys C level and the blood, urine β2-MG levels increased gradually by grading and stratifications (Ps ＜0. 05 or Ps ＜0. 01 ). We also found linear regression relationship between serum Cys C ,urine β2-MG levels and the risk stratifications of hypertension( r =0. 851 and r =0. 469 respectively,Ps ＜0. 01 ). The significant changes of serum BUN,Cr were only found in patients with grade 3 or very high-risk hypertension. Conclusion Joint detection of serum Cys C and urine β2-MG may help to detect early glomerular and tubular dysfunction in primary hypertension patients. Serum Cys C and blood, urine β2-MG levels are also related with the occurrence and development of hypertension,which show clinical significance in hypertension prognosis.

Objective To determine the effects of valsartan, a specific angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor blockade, on arrhythmia in rabbits after myocardial infarction and to discuss the mechanism. Method Twentyfour rabbits were randomly (random number) divided into sham operated (SO) group ( n = 8), myocardial infarction (MI) group ( n = 8) and valsartan (VAL) group ( n = 8). The rabbits of SO group were operated upon with median stemotomy without left ventricular coronary artery hgature. The rabbits of MI group and VAL group had median stemotomy with left ventricular coronary artery ligature. After MI, the rabbits of VAL group were fed with border zone of infracted left ventricular wall and the L-type calcium current was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technique. Results Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes were markedly decreased in VAL group than that in MI group [(3.2 ± 0. 6) vs. ( 11.7 ± 1.8)] after 12 weeks. The density of Ica-L current was higher in MI group than that in SO group and VAL group [( - 9.12 ± 0.73) pA/pF vs. ( - 6.29 ± 0.65) pA/pF and ( - 6.75 ± 0.64) pA/pF], ( P ＜ 0.05), however, there were no significant differences in Ica-L current between So group and VAL group ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Valsartan reduces the VT/VF episodes in rabbits after MI. The effects of valsartan may be attributed to the inhibited electrical remodeling after MI.
