Endocrinology is a new and important medical science.Owing to the great development of modern scientific revolution,it improves quickly.However,the development of endocrinology abides by the laws of epistemology and dialectics.It embodies not only the practicality,penetration,creativity of the scientific cognition,the law of the unity of oppositeness in the growth of the object,but also the high unity of comprehension and analysis of the cognition.

Objective To study the toxicity of fosthiazate feeding for 90 days in rats, and to determine the maximal non-effective dose of fosthiazate , in order to provide the reference dose for safety in production and chronic toxicity experiment.Methods A total of 80 SD rats ( half female and half male ) were randomly divided into 4 groups, respectively:0.8 mg/kg· bw· d group, 4.0 mg/kg· bw· d group, 20.0 mg/kg· bw· d group, and normal control group .The rats were sacrificed to determine the indices including serum biochemical parameters , body weight , routine urine test and organ coefficients after the end of the experiment , and the results were statistically analyzed .Results In the high dose group, the body weight gain was slowed in male and female rats .The TG and CHE in the high dose group of male rats and the TP, ALB, CREA, GLU, and CHE in the high dose group of female rats were significantly lower than those of normal control group.The ALP in the high dose group of female rats was higher than that of the normal control group .The positive rates of BIL, SG, and PRO in both male and female rats had significant differences compared with those of normal control group.The organ coefficients of brain , lung, kidney, adrenal, and testis of male rats, and the organ coefficients of brain , lung, and kidney of female rats in the high dose group were significantly higher than those of the normal control group .The ovaries and uterus in the female rats of high dose group were significantly lower than those of normal control group ( P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusions The oral dose of fosthiazate at 4.0 mg/kg· bw· d fed for 90 days and above cause toxic effects on rats , and its maximal non-effect dose of long-term intake of low-dose fosthiazate on rats is 4 mg/kg· bw· d.

The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of angiotensin-(1-7) 〔Ang-(1-7)〕 on coronary flow and cardiac function in isolated guinea-pig hearts. The isolated guinea-pig heart was perfused in a Langendorff mode. Coronary flow, heart rate, left ventricular pressure and its first derivatives (±dp/dtmax) were recorded. Results showed that Ang-(1-7) (100 or 300 nmol*L-1) caused an increase in coronary flow and an impairment in cardiac function in isolated guinea-pig hearts. Indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, did not affect the effect of Ang-(1-7). However, the increased coronary flow by Ang-(1-7) was abolished by pretreatment of Nω-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester, a nitric oxide(NO) synthase inhibitor. These results suggest that Ang-(1-7) increases coronary flow and reduces cardiac function, and that the vasodilating action is related to stimulation of NO release.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the theoretical model of the three-dimensional structure of mosquitocidal Cry30Ca2 and its molecular docking with N-acetylgalactosamine.
METHODSThe theoretical model of Cry30Ca2 was predicted by homology modeling on the structure of the Cry4Ba. Docking studies were performed to investigate the interaction of Cry30Ca2 with N-acetylgalactosamine on the putative receptor.
RESULTSCry30Ca2 toxin is a rather compact molecule composed of three distinct domains and has approximate overall dimensions of 95 by 75 by 60Å. Domain II is a helix bundle, Domain II consists of three antiparallel β-sheets, Domain III is composed of two β-sheets that adopt a β-sandwich fold. Residue 321Ile in loop1, residues 342Gln 343Thr and 345Gln in loop2, residue 393Tyr in loop3 of Cry30Ca2 are responsible for the interactions with GalNAc via 7 hydrogen bonds, 6 of them were related to the oxygen atoms of hydroxyls of the ligand, and one to the nitrogen of the ligand.
CONCLUSIONThe 3D structure of Cry30Ca2 resembles the previously reported Cry toxin structures but shows still some distinctions. Several residues in the loops of the apex of domain II are responsible for the interactions with N-acetylgalactosamine.

BACKGROUND: An isodamine, a kind of alkaloid, is extracted from Anisodus tanguticus (Maxim.) Pascher and is also a good protective agent of cell. However, functional change of mitochondrion is the most sensitive index reflecting cell injury.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of anisodamine on brain mitochondrial damage following global cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in domestic rabbits and explore its mechanism.DESIGN: Totally randomized controlled trials.SETTING: Emergency Department of Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Emergency Department, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from September to December in 2002. Thirty healthy domestic rabbits of either sex were used and randomized into sham-operation group, ischemia-reperfusion group and anisodamine group with 10 rabbits in each group.METHODS: The models of complete cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury in rabbits were established by ligation of bilateral common carotids and vertebral arteries with systemic hypotension, ischemia lasting for 20 minutes followed by 2-hour reperfusion. Anisodamine group was injected with anisodamine at a dose of 10 mg/kg body mass via femoral vein one minute before reperfusion, and lasted for 2 hours at a dose of 5 mg/hour by micro-pump. Ischemia-reperfusion group was treated with normal saline of the same volume. Sham-operation group only underwent used to determine mitochondrial respiratory functions, including respiratory control rate (RCR), the ratio of adenosine diphosphate to oxygen nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogenated (NADH) oxidase, succinate oxidase and cytochrome C oxidase were measured by the oxygenmethod of Yagi.drial calcium (Ca2+) and malondiadhyde (MDA) in cortex.reperfusion group and anisodamine group, RCR, ADP/O, OPR levels were lower than those in sham-operation group [nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide chain: RCR: 2.34±0.18,3.58±0.29,4.07±0.38,P < 0.05-0.01;ADP/O: 1.77±0.10,2.23±0.14,2.41±0.17,P < 0.05-0.01; OPR: (5.27±0.78),(8.03±1.30), (9.63±1.50)μkat/g, P < 0.05-0.01; flavin adenine dinucleotide chain: RCR: 1.47±0.23,2.53±0.28,2.84±0.36,P < 0.05-0.01;ADP/O: 0.88±0.09,1.58±0.11,1.73±0.17 ,P < 0.05-0.01; OPR: (6.05±1.13),(7.47±1.40), (8.62±1.60)μkat/g,P < 0.05-0.01], and those were higher in chemia-reperfusion group and anisodamine group, the activities of respiratory chain oxidase of NADH, succinate and cytochrome C were lower than those in sham-operation group [NADH: (2.62±0.35), (4.55±0.48), (5.07±0.60)μkat/g;succinate: (1.48±0.17), (1.83±0.22), (2.10±0.28)μkat/g; cytochrome C:(5.03±1.12), (7.62±1.23), (9.00±1.53)μkat/g, P < 0.05-0.01], and those were higher in anisodamine group than in ischemia-reperfusion group, the content of mitochondrial Ca2+ [(2.36±0.23), (1.39±0.17),(1.22±0.12) mg/g] and MDA [(36.38±10.42), (22.69±9.56), (19.74±7.26)μmol/g,(P < 0.05-0.01 )] was higher than that in sham-operation group, and it was lower in anisodamine group than in ischemia-reperfusion group (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: Anisodamine can protect the brain against ischemiareperfusion injury at the level of mitochondria by antagonism of Ca2+, inhibition of lipid peroxidation, stabilization of mitochondrial membrane, alleviation of mitochondrial damage, and improvement of motochondrial respiratory functions and the activities of enzymes of respiratory chain.
