Aim To investigate the influences on the aortal structure of rats with long-term high fat forages diet.Methods 14 SD rats were divided into two groups:the control group and the test group. The test rats were fed with high fat forages.12 weeks later, the aortas of the rats were observed with a light microscope, transmission electron microscope(TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM).Results In the test group, the aortic tunica intima thickening, endotheliocyte injury and monocyte adhesion were found with a light microscope; the elastic lamina being broken and the smooth muscle cells proliferated. Under TEM, the endothelial cell membrane of the aorta in the test rats was destroyed and appeared to be worm-eclipsed shape.Mitochondria exhibited swelling,vacuole degeneration and its cristae was dissolved, broken or some disappeared.Rough endoplasmic reticula (RER) expanded. The endothelial cell spaces were enlarged and the cell junctions deformed. Monocytes adhering to the endothelial cell stretched out pseudopodia and intruded into the endothelial crevice and the subendothelial layer. Some basement membranes completely sloughed following with endothelial cell. ERE and ribosomes increased in smooth muscle cells. SEM observation showed that the endothelial cells became swelling and the surface of endothelial cell was worm-eclipsed or crater shape. There were deeper crevices between endothelial cells.Conclusions Long-term high fat forages diet can induce injury of the endothelium and elastic lamina, adhesion of the monocytes and its intrusion into endothelial layer and subendothelial layer, proliferation of the subendothelial layer and smooth muscle in the aorta of rats.

With the advance of drug development and research techniques, the drug metabolic processes and mechanism can be more deeply achieved. As the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics process are mediated by drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters, study of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters has become an important part for drug development. The traditional immunoassays with low sensitivity and poor specificity can not reflect the accurate expression level of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters. We now give a brief review on the quantitative study of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters by mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach.

Cold-heat problem is one core of traditional Chinese medicine theory. This paper summarizes the experimental research related to the biological basis of cold-heat essence in cold-heat syndrome, cold-heat body constitution and cold-heat property of Chinese herbs. In view of the classical physiological and biochemical indices, gene expression, protein expression and metabolic differences, differences in cold-heat syndrome or cold-heat constitution are mainly based on neurotransmitter, thyroid function, sex hormone, cyclic nucleotide system, and energy metabolism relating to the corresponding gene and protein expression. Furthermore, this paper analyses the change of correlation indices that accompany with a dynamic development process of "constitution-syndrome-herbal intervention", implying that the research of biological basis of cold-heat essence has turned from single index to multiple indices, and from dispersion research to system research.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on perioperative pulmonary compliance and the expression of Toll?like recep?tor(TLR)?2 and TLR?4 in the peripheral blood during perioperative period in patients undergoing open colorectal cancer radical surgery. Meth?ods Twenty patients with colorectal cancer underwent elective general anesthesia,with ASA gradeⅠ?Ⅱand body mass index(BMI)<30 kg/m2, aged 30 to 68 years old,were enrolled for the study. They were randomly divided into control group(group C,n=10)and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n=10). In group D,dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 from the beginning of surgery till 30 min before the end of surgery. The patients in group C received same manipulation as in group D except dexmedetomidine was replaced by normal saline. The mean ar?terial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),30 min(T2),60 min(T3),and 90 min(T4)after the beginning of surgery,extubation(T6),and 3 min after extubation(T7). Airway pressure and lung dynamic compliance were recorded at T1?T7 time points,respectively. Vein blood samples were drawn to analyze the TLR?2,TLR?4 and tumor necrosis factorα(TNF?α)concentration at T0,T4,T7 and the day after operation(T8),respectively. Results Compared with group C,MAP and HR increased in group D at T6(P<0.05);lung dynamic compliance increased in group D at T4(P<0.05);TLR?2 and TLR?4 concentration in serum decreased in group D at T4, T7 and T8(P<0.05);TNF?αconcentration in serum decreased in group D at T4,T7 and T8(P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous infusion of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 dexmedetomidine can help to stabilize hemodynamics,relieve inflammatory stress response,maintain the relative stability of intra?operative hemodynamic parameters,and also can improve the pulmonary dynamic compliance of patients.
