2.Through The Door to The Nucleus:Progress on Nuclear Translocation Mechanism
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(09):-
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.

Objective To investigate the effect of cold underwear on acute radioactive dermatitis in the cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.Methods Ninety-seven patients with stage Ⅱb and above Ⅱb cervical cancer receiving radiotherapy were divided into the control group (n =48) and the experiment group (n =49) according to the random digit table.In the control group,Orgotein was sprayed on the local skins and the experiment group was treated with wearing cold underwear for 20 minutes in addition to local spraying of Orgotein.The two groups were compared in terms of dermatitis on the early stage,middle stage and final stage.Result On the early stage there was no statistical significant difference between two groups on dermatitis (P>0.05),but the dermatitis in the experiment group was statistically less than that in the control group at the middle stage and final stage (P<0.01).Conclusions The cold underwear for the cervical cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy can effectively prevent dermatitis or reduce its severity.It is designed suitable for patients prom anatomical perspective and simple for application.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum cystatin C (Cys C)content and renal function in aged patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:Clinical data of 237 aged BPH patients were retro-spectively analyzed.According to international prostate symptom score (IPSS),they were divided into mild group (n=25),moderate group (n=67)and severe group (n= 145);another 110 patients without prostatic hyperplasia were enrolled as normal control group in the same period.Levels of serum Cys C,blood urea nitrogen (BUN),ser-um creatinine (Scr),fasting blood glucose (FBG),blood lipids and prostate-specific antigen (PSA)were measured in all groups,and prostate volume (PV)was calculated.Results:Compared with normal control group,PV signifi-cantly rose [(18.94±4.62)ml vs.(40.09±12.72)ml],maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax)significantly reduced [(18.67±4.60)ml/s vs.(9.93±3.54)ml/s],and serum Cys C level significantly increased [(1.03±0.23)mg/L vs.(1.53±0.61)mg/L]in BPH group,P <0.01 all.Subgroup analysis indicated that serum Cys C levels in mild, moderate and severe group [(1.32±0.45)mg/L,(1.42±0.32)mg/L,(1.61 ±0.64)mg/L]were significantly higher than that of normal control group,P <0.01 all;and that of severe group was significantly higher than those of mild group and moderate group (P <0.01 or P <0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that serum Cys C level was positively correlated with of age,SBP,DBP,FBG,BUN,Scr,PV and IPSS (r=0.179~0.580,P <0.05 or P <0.01),and inversely correlated with Qmax (r=-0.243,P <0.05)in BPH patients.Conclusion:Serum Cys C level significantly rise,and related with BPH degree,correlated with renal function in aged BPH patients,which can be used to predict renal function of these patients.

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.

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 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.
