Objective To investigate the relationship between homocysteine(Hcy)and blood uric acid(UA)in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicating hypertension.Methods 85 patients with T2DM complicating hypertension were se-lected as the groupⅠ,78 patients with simple T2DM as the group Ⅱ and 74 individuals with healthy physical examination as the group Ⅲ.Hcy,UA,TC,TG and HDL-C were measured in all the subjects.Results Compared with group Ⅲ(control),the levels of Hcy,UA,TC and TG in the group Ⅰand groupⅡwere significantly increased(P <0.05),but the level of HDL-C was significantly decreased(P <0.05).Compared with the group Ⅱ(T2DM),the levels of Hcy,UA,TC and TG in the group Ⅰwere significantly in-creased(P <0.05 ),but the level of HDL-C was obviously decreased,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.05 ).There was good positive correlation between the Hcy level and the UA level in the patients with T2DM complicating hypertension (r =0.658,P <0.05).Conclusion The levels of Hcy and UA are significantly increased in the patients with T2DM especially complica-ting hypertension.High Hcy and high UA are the important risk factors of T2DM complicating cardiocerebrovascular diseases.

Results of experiments such as ammonia steaming test in mice and citr ic acid test in guinea pigs, phenol red secretion test in mice and capillary exp ectorant test in rats, in-vivo and in-vitro antiasthmatic tests in guinea pigs p roved that Tankeqing capsule had good antitussive, expectorant and antiasthmatic effects and a significant time-effect relationship was showed. The antitussive effect and expectorant effect arrived to the peak in 1-6h after oral administrat ion, and the antiashmatic effect in about 1h.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shuyusan on the behavior of chronic stress induced depression model rats, as well as concentrations changes of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) in cerebral cortex. Method Fifty mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group, model group, amitriptyline group, and high/low dose prescription group of Shuyusan. Except normal group, the other groups were given the chronic mild unpredicted stress for 21 days. After 21 days different stimulation, open-Field test was used to estimate the behavior of rats, the concentrations of NE, DA and 5-HT were detected with fluorescence spectrometer method. Results Horizontal and vertical motion of the model group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P

Objective To investigate the influences of 5-azacytidine (5-Aza) with different concentrations on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) proliferation and differentiation into myoblasts. Methods Bone marrow-derived MSCs of 4 weeks Wistar rats were separated and purified, and then treated with 5-Aza with different concentrations. The growth ability of cell was assayed with methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. The expression of skeletal muscle actin in MSCs was determined with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and electrophoresis after MSCs were induced. Results The cell proliferation was not affected by 0 and 1 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza . There were expressions of skeletal muscle actin treated with 3 -12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. Some cells were obviously enlarged at the 9th day after induction and myotubu-like cells were found at the 12th day when treated with 9 and 12 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza. 20 - 30 ?mol ? L-1 5-Aza induced the toxic effect on proliferation of MSCs. With the increase of concentration, the proliferation ability of MSCs was weakened. Conclusion 5-Aza affects the expression of regulatory gene to the stem cells and regulate MSCs to orientationally differentiate into myotube-like cells.

Objective To investigate the relation between VEGF and prognosis of lung carcinoma.Methods ESISA was used to investigate the level of VEGF in lung carcinoma group,pulmonary disease group and normal group,and evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of lung carcinoma transfer or dead.Results The levels of VEGF in lung carcinoma group and pulmonary disease group were significantly higher than those in normal cases(P0.05).The level of VEGF in pulmonary disease group had a degression after treatment.The negative rate of lung carcinoma was 76%.The transfer rate in the increases group of lung carcinoma was 65% in the six month.The dead rate was 10%(P

Objective To study the effect of hypoxial endothelia cell conditional medium(HECCM)on the proliferation of pulmonary arterial muscle cell(PASMC).Methods MTT assay was used to test the proliferation,immuno-cytochemistry was used to identify the expression of ?-SM-actin.Results(1)HECCM could promote the proliferation of PASMC,down-regulate their expression of ?-SM-actin.(2)DDPH could up-regulate the expression of ?-SM-actin in PASMC which was time-dependant.Conclusions DDPH could reverse the phenotype transformation of PASMC exposed to HECCM,the action was time-dependant.After some time DDPH could reversly transform PASMC to the normal contractile phenotype.

Aim To observe the effect of valsartan on expression of Smads of HKCs stimulated by TGF-?1.Methods HKCs were divided into three groups:control group,TGF-?1 group and valsartan group.Total protein was firstly abstracted at 30 min after stimulation to detect p-Smad2/3 protein by Western blot.Total RNA and protein were abstracted at 48 hours after stimulation.The expressions of Smad2/3,Smad7 were measured by Western blot.Smad2mRNA and Smad7mRNA were measured by RT-PCR.Meanwhile, The protein synthesis of Col Ⅰ in the supernatants of the HKCs was detected by Western blot.MTT assay was used to investigate the effect of valsartan on proliferation of HKCs stimulated by 5 ?g?L-1 TGF-?1 at different time and different drug concentration.Results Western blot analysis indicated that TGF-?1 stimulation could increase the expression of Smad2/3 and activate phosphorylation of Smad2/3 at 48 hour.At the same time,Smad7 decreased.Valsartan could reduce the level of Smad2/3 and p-Smad2/3 but it did not have any effect on the expression of Smad7 protein.RT-PCR analysis also showed that the expression of Smad2mRNA or Smad7mRNA was higher after TGF-?1 stimulation than control group,while valsartan could down-regulate the expression of Smad2mRNA.There was no difference of the expression of Smad7mRNA between the TGF-?1 stimulation group and valsartan treatment group.Valsartan could also greatly ameliorate the secretion of Col Ⅰ in the supernatants of the HKCs stimulated by TGF-?1 detected by Western blot.Compared with control group,TGF-?1 supressed the proliferation of HKCs,While 1,10 and 100 ?mol?L-1 valsartan ameliorated it and the effect was dependent of dose.Conclusion Valsartan has some renal protective effects on renal interstitial fibrosis,partly through inhibiting TGF-?/Smads signaling pathway.
