Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of helix B surface peptide (HBSP) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI) in experimental mice.
Methods: The MIRI model was established by ligation of anterior descending coronary artery of the mice for 45 min and followed by corresponding treatment at 5 min before reperfusion. A total of 64 male ICR mice were randomly assigned to 4 group:①Sham group,②MIRI group, the mice received normal saline at 5 min before reperfusion,③HBSP group, MIRI mice received HBSP at 5 min before reperfusion and④HBSP+PD98059 group, MIRI mice received PD98059 (a speciifc blocker of ERK1/2) at 20 min before reperfusion and followed by HBSP at 5 min before reperfusion.n=16 in each group, all animals were treated for 2 hours. The area of myocardial infarction (MI) was detected by TTC-EB double staining method, the myocardial apoptosis rate was examined by TUNEL method, the levels of protein expression of ERK1/2 and phosphorylation of ERK1/2 were measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: Compared with MIRI group, HBSP group presented decreased MI area, decreased myocardial apoptosis rate and increased phopsphorylation level of ERK1/2, allP<0.05. Compared with HBSP group, HBSP+PD98059 group showed decreased phopsphorylation level of ERK1/2, increased myocardial apoptosis rate and increased MI area, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: HBSP may reduce the MI area via inhibiting myocardial apoptosis and therefore, protecting the experimental mice from MIRI; the mechanism might be related to the activation of ERK1/2 pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) in prostate cancer.Methodshe pathological samples of 37 cases of PCa were collected. The mean age of the patients was 73 (53 - 88 ) years, the preoperative t-PSA was 81.69 ( 3.13 - 2000 ) ng/ml, Gleason score: 13 cases were ≤7, 24 cases were >7. Twenty-seven cases of BPH were set as controls. The mean age of the BPH patients was 69 (52 - 84) years, the preoperative t-PSA was 10.93 ( 1.11 - 55.07 ) ng/ml.Western blotting and colorimetric Assay kits were used to determine the HDAC expression and activity. The difference of HDAC activity in benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer was statistically analyzed.The correlation of the HDAC expression level and values of PSA and Gleason score was also assessed.ResultsHDACs were over-expressed in most cases of prostate cancer, the expression rates were HDAC1 :57%, HDAC2: 68%, HDAC3: 84% and HDAC4: 73%, respectively. The HDAC activity (P <0.05)was significantly different between the prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia groups. The expression level of HDAC did not correlate with the values of PSA and Gleason score.ConclusionsHDAC was highly expressed and strongly active in prostate cancer. The results suggest that HDAC might be a potential target for the management of prostate cancer patients.

To test the hypothesis that the controlled reperfusion of warm blood cardioplegiacontaining mannitol would result in more effectively improved recovery of myocardial function by prevent-ing or reducing a potentially harmful component of reperfusion. Methods: Thirty-two cats were divided in-to four groups. Group Ⅰwas not subjected to ischemia or reperfusion injury. Group Ⅱ was subjected to60 min hypothermic ischemia. Group Ⅲwas subjected to 60 min hypothermic ischemia and 60 min reperfu-sion. Group Ⅳ was controlled reperfusion with warm blood cardioplegia containing mannitol. Results:Myocardial functlon was significantly depressed after 60 min reperfusion- Increased myocardial water con-tent and low ATP c0ntent were observed also. Controlled reperfusion with warm bl0od cardioplegia con-taining mannitol was helpful to improve the recovery of myocardial function and ATP content, and to re-duce the myocardial water content. Conclusion: These results indicate that controlled reperfusion after is-chemia provides benefit in avoiding myocardium from reperfusion injury.
