Objective　To study the effects of ACE1 on amount and mRNA expression of Ca2+ release channels(RyR2) of myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) in prevention and treatment of chronic heart failure.Methods　After the model of chronic heart failure was established with ligation of left corongary artery in rats,the animals were prevented and treated with Perindopril. Hemodynamic parameters, Bmax and Kd of ［3H］－ryanodine binding to RyR2、RyR2 mRNA content were determined.Results　Compared with the control group(group C),LVEDP in the heart faliure group (group F)increased(P<0.01),while+dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmaxdecreased significantly(P<0.01).LVEDP was lower but +dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmaxsignificantly higher in the Perindopril treated group(group P)than those in group F(P<0.01).Bmaxof ［3H］－ryanodine binding to RyR2 and mRNA content of RyR2 in group F were lower than those in group C(P<0.01),and these in group P were higher than those in group F(P<0.01). There were no significant difference of Kd among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion　The amount and mRNA expression of RyR2 of myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) decreased in chronic heart failure.Perindopril can improve mRNA expression and amount of RyR2 of myocardial SR in prevention and treatment of chronic heart failure, thus contributing to the improvement of myocardial function.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of simultaneous morcellation in situ in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Methods One hundred and eighty-nine women who underwent LM for symptomatic myomas were randomly divided into in situ group(94 cases) and standard group(95 cases). The operation time, hemorrhage perioperative,exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay were compared.Results The operation was successful in two groups. The operation time and hemorrhage perioperative in situ group were significantly less than those in standard group [ (98.20 ± 40.70) min vs. ( 129.20 ± 68.50)min (P＜0.05) and (113.40± 38.30) ml vs. (168.90±61.70) ml (P＜0.01)]. There was no statistical difference in exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay between two groups (P ＞0.05). One case occurred eechymoma in two groups respectively. Conclusion The application of simultaneous morcellation in situ in LM is safe and feasible.

Objective To explore the sensitivity of a little amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) between CT and different MR sequences through animal experiment,to find a more sensitive way to diagnosis SAH.Methods 18 healthy adult white New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two experimental groups(group A and group B) and one control group(group C).Rabbit SAH model was established by injecting blood into the cisterna magna one time.All rabbits underwent CT and MR scan at 2 hours,48 hours after operation.The findings on CT and different MR sequences were observed and recorded.Results ①In experimental groups(group A and group B),MR FLAIR sequences in the diagnosis of a little amount of SAH was more sensitive than that on MR T1WI,T2WI and CT in acute phase.And the diagnosis sensitivity between MR FLAIR and CT was statistically significant(P<0.05).②Abnormal signs of SAH could not be found in group C.Conclusion ①Rabbit SAH model was established successfully which will be the foundation for the follow-up study of medical imaging.②MR FLAIR sequence is more sensitive to diagnose a little amount of SAH in acute phase,and may be used in the routine diagnosis of SAH in acute phase.

AIM: To observe the effects of aspirin and prostaglandin E_2 (PGE_2) on the cell viability and cell cycle in SW1990 human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines, and to investigate the mechanisms of aspirin-induced growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest. METHODS: After incubated with aspirin or PGE_2 and their combination, the viability of SW1990 cells was measured by MTT assay. The levels of intracellular PGE_2 were determined by ELISA. The effects of aspirin or PGE_2 on cell cycle were investigated by flow cytometry (FCM). The expression of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 (the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors) were analyzed by Western blotting. RESULTS: Aspirin could inhibit the growth of cells and level of intracellular PGE_2 in a dose-dependent manner. Aspirin enhanced the expression of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 and induced cell cycle arrest at G_0/G_1 phase. PGE_2 increased the cell viability of SW1990 cells. However, it couldn't antagonize the changes of cell viability and cell cycle that induced by aspirin. CONCLUSIONS: The inhibitory effects of aspirin on growth and cell cycle of pancreatic carcinoma cells might not be mediated by a COX-dependent pathway completely. Cell cycle arrest induced by aspirin might be associated with up-regulation of p21~ Wafl/cipl and p27~ Kipl/pic2 .

AIM:To investigate the preparation techniques and anti-tumor effects both in vitro and in vivo of a novel nanoparticles control-releasing preparation of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)by intravenous injection.METHODS:With polylactic acid(PLA)as marix materials,we adopted ultrasound emulsification method to prepare PLA enveloped 5-FU nanoparticles(5-FU-NPs).Scanning electricity microscopy was used to observe the morphology of 5-FU-NPs and laser optical scattering experiment was conducted to determine its diameter distribution.The drug-carrying capacity(ratio)of the nanoparticles was determined by means of high-power liquid chromatography(HPLC)and MTT test was used to observe cytotoxicity in vitro.The anti-tumor effects were determined at different dosages,frequencies of taking drugs in vivo.RESULTS:Scanning electron microscopy showed that the 5-FU-NPs were globular particles with smooth surface in an average particle diameter of 191.9 nm with a normal distribution,and the drug-carrying capacity of 5-FU-NPs was 15.2%.5-FU-NPs had the same anti-cancer effect as unenveloped drug in vitro and showed typical dose-effect relationship.Compared to naked 5-FU,5-FU-NPs presented significant difference(P

AIM: To elucidate the pattern of 5-fluorocytosine(5-FC) induced apoptosis and its role in gene therapy for human pancreatic cancer. METHODS: The human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells(CEA-producing) were infected with recombinant adenoviruses(Adex1CEA-prCD or Adex1CEA-prZ).Cytosine deaminase(CD) expression was examind by western blot. Apoptosis induced by 5-FC in human pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells genetically modified to express cytosine deaminase was investigated by applying electron microscopy, DNA electrophoresis and flow cytometry analysis techniques. RESULTS: The SW1990 cells infected with Adex1 CEA-prCD were treated with 5-FC at 100 ?mol?L -1 for 48 h, cell apoptosis occurred. Typical apoptosis morphological feature appeared and DNA ladder could be demonstrated on DNA electrophoresis. Apoptosis peak was also showed by flow cytometry. Apoptotic cells accounted for 34.6% of the cell population. Cells in G 1, S and G 2/M phase of cell cycle were 64%, 11% and 7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The apoptosis induced by 5-FC may be a primary mechanism in CD gene therapy for pancreatic cancer.
