Objectives:To develop a preparative method of continuous acid-urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (CAU-PAGE) to purify the defensin components from human and rabbit neutrophils (HNP-1～3 and RNP-1～5).Methods:Neutrophils were isolated from human peripheral blood or rabbit artificial aseptic ascites.The components of defensin were extracted by 5% acetic acid directly followed by elution of CAU-PAGE,and purified HNP-1～3 or RNP-1～5 were harvested.Polyacrylamide gel filtration was used as the method for comparison.Results:For each elution circa 1.50 mg of purified HNP or 2.50 mg of RNP were obtained from 5×108 of neutrophils,and their natural biological activity was preserved.Conclusions：CAU-PAGE is a relatively simple,rapid,economical method for purifying cationic peptides as the components of defensin.

Hypertensive vascular remodeling has always been a hot program in clinic and basic research.Renin-angiotensin system is an importent regulatory mechanism of human physiological function,which plays a fundamental role in vascular remodel- ing.RAS consists of two axes, ACE-AngII-AT_1 receptor axis and ACE2-Ang(1- 7)-Mas receptor axis.The former affects vasoconstriction and promotes vascular re-modeling through its key member,AngII;the latter offsets the effect of the mentioned AngII with the help of seven-peptide Ang-(1-7).A deep knowledge of the relation between RAS and vascular remodeling would provide more remedies for reducing cardiovascular risk.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of methylflavonolamine (MFA) on myocardial injury induced by adriamycin in mice. METHODS: The myocardial injury was induced by adriamycin (ADR) 1.5 mg?kg -1 ip once every two days for ten days in mice. All mice were taken the electrocardiogram examination before given drugs. The mice with abnormal electrocardiogram were excluded prior to the experiment. The degree of J point elevation, the prolonged degree of the QRS complex duration and the Q T interval, the change of contents of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myocardial malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of myocardial superoxide dismutase (SOD) were observed in control and treated groups. The contents of serum CK and LDH were measured by spectrophotometry, and the content of myocardial MDA was measured by TBA method and the activity of myocardial SOD by hydroxylamine method. RESULTS: The J point was elevated, the Q T interval and the duration of QRS complex were prolonged and the contents of serum CK and LDH were increased in mice with acute myocardial injury induced by ADR, suggesting that a widespread and severe myocardial cell injury occurred in the prepared models. While all these injury indices were reversed by MFA treatment. The content of myocardial MDA was increased and the activity of myocardial SOD was decreased in mice with myocardial injury, and MFA decreased the MDA content and increased the SOD activity, indicating that it possesses the actions of scavenging free oxygen radicals and anti lipoperoxidation. CONCLUSIONS: MFA significantly alleviates the degree of the acute myocardial injury in mice induced by ADR. Its mechanism may be associated with reducing oxygen free radical production and anti lipoperoxidation.

Objective To assess the value of muhichannel epidural somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in cortical mapping of primary sensorimotor areas for electrode implantation of motor cortex electrical stimulation.Methods Intraoperative multichannel epidural SEP was recorded in 13 patients with intractable neuropathic pain.SEP mapping was used for determining the location of sensorimotor areas.Results The typical phase reversals of N20 and P20 were recorded and the location of the central sulcus and the primary sensorimotor area were accurately determined in 11 patients.The location of the primary sensorimotor failed to be determined in the other 2 patients because of the atypical SEP.Conclusion The intraoperative muhichannel epidural SEP is reliable in the cortical mapping.

Objective To discuss the method of raising the rate of cut healing by first intention with electrized copper needles and removal of the angioma.Methods Analysis of the clinical history of 68 cases of angiomatous therapy by using the method of electrized copper needles and removal, and the investigation of the connection between the therapy method and the cut healing.Results The healing rate of the cut by first intention is 100% in the total resection of tumor, each 33.33% in the partial resection of tumor and the resection under skin flap, 0% in the resection of tumor and the skin grafting on the surface of wound. When the voltage controlled at 6V is compared with others, remarkably there is the difference (P

Objective To determine the anti-SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) activity of defensins from human and rabbit, and explore the effects of defensin during the onset and progression of SARS. Methods Defensins were purified from neutrophil of human and rabbit respectively, namely HNP (human neutrophil protein) 1-3 and RNP (rabbit neutrophil protein) 1-5, by acid-urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (CAU-PAGE). The effect of defensin on Vero-E6 cell infected by SARS CoV BJ01 strain as well as the replication of virus were observed by micro-culture technique. Rusults The HNP 1-3 and RNP 1-5 separated by CAU-PAGE presented a single band with molecular weight of approximately 4000 dalton on 15% SDS-PAGE. HNP 1-3 was identified and validated by quantitative ELISA. The activity of anti-escherichia coli (ATCC25922 strain) of HNP 1-3 and RNP 1-5 was tested by MIC determination method, and the IC50 values obtained were 25～50?g/ml and 5～10?g/ml, respectively. In the antiviral experiment, HNP 1-3 and RNP 1-5 in the concentration from 25 to 100?g/ml were not able to prohibit cytopathic effect (CPE) of SARS-CoV and the replication of virus in Vero-E6. Conclution The natural defensins (HNP 1-3 and RNP 1-5) purified from neutrophils do not play any prohibitory or eliminative effects on SARS-CoV, indicating that that human and rabbit do not have natural immunity against SARS-CoV.
