ObjectiveTo investigate the expressions and significance of insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ and basic fibroblast growth factor in adrenal disease. MethodsThe experiment was divided into groups of adrenal pheochromocytoma,corticomedullary hyperplasia,cortical adenoma,normal adrenal tissue.Every group was 15 cases.Expression of IGF-Ⅱ and bFGF were detected by immunohistochemistry in adrenal disease. ResultsThere was a significant difference among the four groups(all P<0.05).IGF-Ⅱ and bFGF expression was higher in adrenal pheochromocytoma tissue than that of corticomedullary hyperplasia and cortical adenoma.In the normal adrenal gland group was low expression or no expression.In each group,IGF-Ⅱ and bFGF protein expression was positively correlated(all P<0.05).There also was a positive correlation between IGF-Ⅱ and bFGF positive cell and blood pressure in adrenal pheochromocytoma,corticomedullary hyperplasia and cortical adenoma(all P<0.05). ConclusionIGF-Ⅱ and bFGF protein were closely related to the occurrence and development of human adrenal corticomedullary hyperplasia,cortical adenoma,pheochromocytoma,and played a role in hypertension caused by them.At the same time there was a synergistic effect between the IGF-Ⅱ and bFGF protein in adrenal disease.

Objective To evaluate the effect of morphine on synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) in the spinal dorsal horn evoked by electric stimulation of sciatic nerve in rats. Methods Twenty-seven healthy male SD rats aged 60-90 d weighing 180-200 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: group Ⅰ control (group C, n=7), group Ⅱ morphine (group M, n=7), group Ⅲ naloxone (group N, n=6), and group Ⅳ morphine + naloxone (group MN, n=7). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% urethane 1 g/kg, intubated and then mechanically ventilated. The bipolar insulated stainless steel recording electrode (impedance 0.5-1 MΩ, diameter 0.1 mm) was inserted into the left side of the spinal dorsal horn at T13-L1 to stimulate the left side of the sciatic nerve. Single square pulses (15 V, 0.5 ms, 1/60 Hz for 30 min) was applied to evoke spinal field potentials. Normal saline 10 μl, morphine 10 μl (15 μg/μl), naloxone 10 μl (2.5 μg/μl), and the mixture 10 μl of naloxone 5 μl (2.5 μg/μl) and morphine 5 μl (15 μg/μl) was gradually instilled over 2 rain in the 4 groups respectively. Five minutes later, high-frequency and intensity tetanic stimulation (30-40 V, 0.5 ms, 100 Hz, given in 4 trains of 1-s duration at 10-s intervals) was used to induce LTP. Then single square stimuli (15 V, 5 ms, 1/60 Hz) were applied to the sciatic nerve for 210 min. The amplitude and latency period of the field potential were recorded 30 min before tetanic stimulation, and 0-30, 35-60, 65-120 and 125-210 min after titanic stimulation. Results Compared with group C, the amplitude of the field potential was significantly decreased and the latency period prolonged in group M and MN, but there was no significant difference in the above indices between group N and C. Compared with group M, the amplitude of the field potential was significantly increased and the latency period shortened in group MN. Compared with those 30 min before the tetanic stimulation, the amplitude of the field potential was significantly increased and latency period shorted at the time points after the tetanie stimulation in group C and N, the amplitude of the field potential was significantly decreased and latency period prolonged at the time points after the tetanie stimulation in group M, and the amplitude of the field potential was significantly increased 0-30 and 35-60 min after the tetanic stimulation and latency period shortened 0-30 min after the tetanie stimulation, the amplitude of the field potential was significantly decreased and latency period prolonged 65-120 and 125-210 min after the tetanic stimulation in group MN. Conclusion Morphine can inhibit synaptic LTP in the spinal dorsal horn evoked by electric stimulation of sciatic nerve in rats, and it may be one of the mechanisms of the central sensitization inhibition.

Objective To investigate the effect of intrathecal morphine preconditioning on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods Thirty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats in which intrathecal catheters were successfully placed without complications,weighing 250-350 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,intrathecal morphine preconditioning group (ITMP group),μ receptor antagonist CTOP + intrathecal morphine preconditioning group (CTOP + ITMP group),and CTOP control group (CTOP group).Myocardial ischemia was induced by 30 min of occlusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery followed by 120 min of reperfusion in all the groups except S group.Intrathecal morphine preconditioning was produced by 3 cycles of 5 min intrathecal injection of morphine 3 μg/kg (10 μl) at 5 min intervals within 30 min before ischemia in ITMP group.In CTOP+ITMP and CTOP groups,1 μg/μ1 CTOP 10 μl was injected intrathecally at 10 min before morphine preconditioning and 40 min before ischemia,respectively.At 120 min of reperfusion,the rats were sacrificed,and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of myocardial infarct size,and DRGs were removed for determination of the expression of NGF by using immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Results Compared with S group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly up-regulated in I/R group (P<0.05).Compared with I/R group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly decreased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly down-regulated in ITMP group (P< 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in CTOP group (P>0.05).Compared with ITMP group,the myocardial infarct size was significantly increased,and the expression of NGF in DRGs was significantly up-regulated in CTOP+ITMP and CTOP groups (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which intrathecal morphine preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury is related to activation of spinal μ receptors,inhibition of NGF expression in DRGs,and reduction of responses to noxious stimulation in the rats.

Aim To study the transport of geniposide and geniposide in Zhizi Bopi Decoction in MDCK cell membrane model. Methods The safety concentration of geniposide and Zhizi Bopi Decoction in MDCK cells were determined by MTT assay. Then the MDCK cell membrane model was used to investigate the transport of drugs. Firstly, the effects of time, drug concentra-tion, P-gp inhibitor and EDTA on the absorption and transport of geniposide were studied systematically. Secondly, the differences were compared between the transport of the same concentration of geniposide as single compound and that in Zhizi Bopi Decoction in MDCK cell model. The drug concentration was deter-mined by high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) to calculate the apparent permeability coeffi-cient (Papp). Results Geniposide transport in MDCK cell monolayer was time and concentration dependent. P-gp inhibitors had no significant effect on its transport and the transport of geniposide was enhanced by ED-TA. The absorption Papp of different concentrations of geniposide in Zhizi Bopi Decoction were ( 8. 96 ± 0. 35 ) × 10 -7 cm · s-1 , ( 8. 95 ± 0. 38 ) × 10 -7 cm · s-1 and (9. 16 ± 0. 30) × 10 -7 cm·s-1, significantly higher than the absorption Papp of geniposide as single compound(5. 85 ± 0. 44) × 10 -7 cm·s-1, (6. 88 ± 0. 38) × 10 -7 cm·s-1 and (6. 31 ± 0. 19) × 10 -7 cm ·s-1 ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion The transport of ge-niposide in MDCK cell membrane model is passive transport and is not affected by P-gp. Geniposide may transport via the paracellular route. The Zhizi Bopi De-coction can increase the absorption of geniposide.
