1.Functional Analyses of Mammalian Reovirus Nonstructural Protein μNS
Virologica Sinica 2009;24(1):1-8
Genome replication of reovirus occurs in cytoplasmic inclusion bodies called viral factories or viroplasms. The viral nonstructural protein μNS, encoded by genome segment M3, is not a component of mature virions, but is expressed to high levels in infected cells and is concentrated in the infected cell factory matrix. Recent studies have demonstrated that μNS plays a central role in forming the matrix of these structures, as well as in recruiting other components to them for putative roles in genome replication and particle assembly.
2.EFFECTS OF PALMATINE ON ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTER IN THE ISOLATED GUINEA PIG PAPILLARY MUSCLES
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(02):-
The mechanism of antiarrhythmic effects of palmatine( Pal), an benzoquinolizine compound were studied in experimental animals.In the isolated guinea pig papillary muscles, Pal 50 ?mol/L markedly prolonged the functional refractory period(FRP)and decreased the automaticity induced by adrenaline, but exerted no effect on excitabj- iity and contractility of the muscles.Pal(10 ?mol/L ) prolonged both APD20 and APD90 of the action potential of guinoa pig papillary muscles. The Vmax was decreased at 100 ?mol/L Pal, but the action potential amplitude( APA ) and resting potential ( RP ) were unaltered.The antiarrhythmic action of Pal may be due to its ability to decrease automaticity and to proloagate FRP and APD of the myocardium.

Jat(lOmg/kg iv) administered 5 min prior to ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery significantly decreased the incidence of arrhy-thmias(VT and VF)and mortality of rats during ischaemia and reper-fusion.It also delayed the onset and shortened the duration of arrhythmias. The size of myocardial infarction caused by coronary artery ligation was decreased by Jat ( 0.75mg/kg iv. 1 h before and 6 h after operation) in rabbits.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of left-handed pantoprazole sodium on rat models of gastric ulcer generated by pyloric ligation .Methods The rat models induced by pylorus ligation were treated with a single intravenous injection of left-handed pantoprazole sodium .The gastric ulcer inhibition rate , volume of gastric juice, activity of pepsin, and level of serum gastrin were determined and gastric mucosa tissue was examined by pathology . Results The gastric ulcer index , volume of gastric juice , activity of pepsin and level of serum gastrin in the rats pretreated with left-handed pantoprazole sodium (0.9, 1.8, 3.6 mg/kg, i.v.) were significantly lower than those in the model group .The lesions of gastric mucosa were also improved in the pantoprazole-treated groups .Conclusions Left-handed pantoprazole sodium has remarkable protective effects on the gastric mucosa in rat models of gastric ulcer induced by pyloric ligation.

ObjectiveTo observe the therapeutic efficacy ofacupoint thread embedding in treating hyperlipidemia, and to explore a treatment method with valid efficacy and few side effects.MethodSixty patients with hyperlipidemia were randomized into a thread embedding group and a medication group, 30 cases ineach group. The thread embedding group was intervened by thread embedding at Zhongwan (CV12), Tianshu (ST25), Fenglong (ST40), and Zusanli (ST36), once a week; the medication group was by taking Xue Zhi Kang capsules, two capsules each time, twice a day. The two groups both received treatment for 8 weeks. The clinical efficacy, total cholesterol (Chol), and triglyceride levels were observed before and after treatment.ResultThe total effective rate was 86.7% in the thread embedding group versus 83.3% in the medication group, and the difference was statistically insignificant (P>0.05). After 4-week treatment, the transaminase level increased in 3.3% of the patients in the medication group, while no one showed an increased transaminase level in the thread embedding group. After 8-week treatment, the observed indexes were increased in the medication group, while those in the thread embedding group were still stable.ConclusionAcupoint thread embedding is effective in treating hyperlipidemia, and the effect is durable with few side effects.

Objective To study the joint effect of small dosages of Aspirin and compound Danshen dropping pills on type 2 diabetes(T2DM) patients'and impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) patients' hypercoagulation blood.Methods The study followed diagnostic standards for T2DM by World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999,and randomly selected two groups of clinical patients:one had 63 patients with IGT and the other contained 68 patients with T2DM.Both groups took compound Danshen dropping pills with the total dosage of 10 pills each time,3 times per day,for continuum of 3 months.After that both groups stopped medication for 7 days,then began taking Aspirin after meal,with the dosage of 100 mg per day,for a continuum of 3 month.After that both groups stopped the medication for 7 days,then both group continued to take same dosage of ASA with addition of compound Danshen dropping pills of total amount of 10 pills per each time,3 times per day,for acontinuum of 3 months.Each medication period (ev ery 3 months) was monitored for platelet count (PET),prothrombin time (PT),kaolin partial thromboplastin time (APPT),The effective rate of anticoagulation for both groups were then calculated.Results The difference of PT、APTT between before and after taking single dosage of ASA for patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was statistically significant (P<0.05),while patients with T2DM had no significant difference before and after taking same single dosage of ASA.Similarly, both groups with single dosage of compound Danshen dropping pills had no significant difference between before and after taking the medication.However,the difference of PT、APTT between before and after taking the combination of Aspirin and Danshen dropping pills of both groups were statistically significant (P<0.05).IGT group with single dosage of ASA had an effective rate of 71.4% for anti coagulation,while T2DM group with the same dosage reached 23.8%.The IGT group with combinatory dosage of ASA and Danshen dropping pills reached an effective rate of 100% for anticoagulation,while T2DM group with the same dosage was 86.7%.The difference between those effective rates of anticoagulation was statistically significant in different medicine takeways of two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion The combinatory use of small dosage of Aspirin with compound Danshen dropping pills had evident effect to improve IGT and hypercoagulation blood of T2DM patients who had good control of their blood glucose.
