To explore the changes of anti-thyroid drug (ATD) on bone mineral density and bone turnover parameters in patients with Graves disease (GD).Compared with the healthy controls during the same period,the serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and bone gla protein (BGP) in GD patients significantly increased at pre-treatment and after normal thyroid by treatment (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).AKP and BGP of GD patients reduced to normal level at Month 6 after normal thyroid (P ＞ 0.05) ; BMD significantly decreased at pre-treatment and Month 12 after normal thyroid (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).And it dropped to normal level at Month 18 (P ＞ 0.05).GD could affect bone metabolism and thyroid hormone might accelerate bone metabolism directly.

Objective To investigate the role of hippocampal mu-opioid receptors (MORs) in the formation of seizure susceptibility induced by kainic acid (KA). Methods The SD rats were injected subcutaneously with a convulsive dose of KA (10 mg/kg). Then mini-osmotic pumps were used for intrahippocampal injection with a selective MOR antagonist ?-FNA, and a selective MOR agonist PL017 in these rats. 7 days later, the seizure susceptibility was checked by a subthreshold dose of KA (5 mg/kg). Results All animals showed motor seizures over Stage 4 after a convulsive dose KA injection. 7 days later, 100% animals showed seizures over Stage 4 in KA, CSF + KA and PL017+KA groups after injection of subthreshold dose of KA, but only 28.5% in PL017+KA group. Mean latency of PL017+KA group was (10.1?3.0) minutes, shorter significantly than that of KA and CSF+KA groups (0.010.05). The mean stage of ?-FNA + KA group was 1.7?0.1, being reduced significantly as compared with the stages of other three groups ( P

AIM: To investigate the mRNA changes of L-type Ca~(2+) channel ?_(1C) subunit (CaL-?_(1C)) and Na~+-Ca~(2+) exchanger (NCX) in the atria of renovascular hypertensive rats. METHODS: Two-kidney one-clip Goldblatt hypertensive Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups 1 week after operation, HD group was treated with 250 mg/d diltiazem, LD group was treated with 50 mg/d diltiazem, control group (C group) was treated with vehicle. After 4 weeks treatment, semiquantitative RT-PCR was used to estimate the mRNA changes of CaL-?_(1C) and NCX, and GAPDH was used as internal control. RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure in LD group was comparable with C group, and that in HD group was decreased to normal level after diltiazem treatment. In C group, CaL-?_(1C) mRNA level were 2.5, 2.4 and 2.1 times of S, HD and LD group, and NCX mRNA level were 1.9, 1.6 and 2.1 times of S, HD and LD group. There were no significant difference in the mRNA level of CaL-?_(1C) and NCX among S, HD and LD group. CONCLUSION: The mRNA levels of CaL-?_(1C) and NCX are upregulated in the atria of hypertensive rats. Ca~(2+) antagonist inhibits their upregulation independent of blood pressure.

We developed a novel method for the rapid determination of lysozyme using a new fluorogenic substrate that consists of a cationic aluminum phthalocyanine ( tetra ( trimethylammonio ) aluminum phthalocyanine, TTMAAlPc ) , and an anionic mucopolysaccharide ( heparin, HP ) . We found that fluorescence from the cationic aluminum phthalocyanine, a red-region fluorescence probe, was quenched significantly in acidic media in the presence of low concentrations of anionic mucopolysaccharide heparin ( HP) bearing anionic sulfonic acid groups, because of induced aggregation. The practically non-fluorescent substrate degraded into small molecular fragments upon the hydrolysis of lysozyme, and thus the phthalocyanine molecules aggregated in HP were released, resulting in significant fluorescence recovery in the reaction system. This phenomenon forms the foundation of the proposed method. The reaction mechanism was determined using fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence anisotropy techniques. Factors that affected the determination were investigated. Under optimal conditions, the linear range was 0. 2-2 mg/L, and the detection limit was 0. 015 mg/L. The developed method is easy to operate and has good selectivity and sensitivity. This method was used in the analysis of practical samples of lysozyme, and the results were in agreement with those determined by a conventional turbidimetric method.

The blood concentrations of the pharmacodynamic substances of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) are usually very low. How can they exert pharmacological actions, in which forms (original form, metabolite or the both) do they exert the actions. To answer these questions, we proposed a new concept ofEffective Formsof pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs and a hypothesis of additive effect of multiple constituents of TCMs. The hypothesis includes that the aggregate or summation of Effective Forms of pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs is the core material base of the effi-cacy of TCMs, and the additive effect of the blood concentrations of different Effective Forms is one part of the action mechanism. The additive effect of the different Effective Forms of a TCMs means an additive effect of numerous con-stituents or/and metabolites on a same target, and therefore the efficacy brought by the addition of the concentrations of all these compounds, which different from the synergy effect of multi-constituents on multi-targets. Studies on the disposition of TCMs showed that a constituent can be biotransformed to many metabolites (up to more than 50 metabolites);different constituents can produce the same metabolites;many metabolites (up to 10 compounds for each metabolite) are isomers or homologues; some constituents can be converted to each other in vivo; and some metabolites are bioactive. These com-pounds having the similar structure are likely to have the same pharmacological effects on the same target, which could provide experimental evidences for the concept ofEffective Formsand the hypothesis ofAdditive Effect. We suggest that the Effective Forms and Additive Effects of the pharmacodynamic substances of TCMs should be extensively investi-gated in the future, and the results of such researches will help us further understand the pharmacodynamic substances and action mechanism of TCMs, and give a new explanation 'Toxicities Scattering Effect' for 'Why the toxicities of TCMs are low', and propose a new strategy for quality control of TCMs.
