Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objective:To explore the anti-apoptostic effect of Ghrelin in cardiomyocytes after Hypoxia/Reoxygenation injury and manifest the specific cellular singaling transduction pathway.Methods:Newborn SD rats' hearts were isolated and cardiomyocytes were separated by trypsin digestion method .The primary cardiomyocytes were collected and incubated in vitro and randomly alloted to 4 groups(①Control;②H/R group;③H/R +Ghrelin group;④H/R+Ghrelin+Wortmannin group) after 5 days of cultivation.Hypoxia/ Reoxygenation injury was established by 4 hours of hyopxia and subsquently 1 hour of reoxygenation.Lactic dehydrogenase concentration,cell apoptotic rate and the expression of phosph-Akt were detected by Automatic Biochemistry Analytic Instrument ,Tunel method and Western blotting method respectively.Results:Compared with H/R group and H/R+Ghrelin+Wortmannin group,the LDH concentration in media was significantly reduced and the myocardium apoptotic rate was pretty low in H/R+Ghrelin group.Ghrelin also increased phosph-Akt activity but this effect was abolished by applying Wortmannin simultaneously.Conclusions:Ghrelin provides concrete protection against Hypoxia/ Reoxygenation injury in the primary cultivated rat cardiomyocytes,which manifest dereasing LDH leaking,inhibitting cell apoptosis.Theantiapoptotic effect is partly mediated by the activation of the PI3K /Akt(Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/ Akt) pathway.
2.Study on Microbial Detecting Methods for Cosmetics
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(05):-
Objective To study the viability of S.aureus in common cosmetics and the sensitivities of different detection methods adopted in detecting faecal coliform. Methods A standard method stated in "Hygienic Standard for Cosmetics" and lactose-bile salt medium improved by adding neutralizers were adopted in detecting Faecal coliform. Results The amounts of S.aureus dropped gradually as the prolongation of preservation period and in cosmetics containing or not containing antiseptics were different too. In detecting Faecal coliform, the sensitivity of the improved method was higher than that of the standard method. Conclusion Some ingredients of common cosmetics, especially antiseptics, obviously affected the viability of S.aureus. The lactose-bile salt broths containing Lecithin and Tween 80 were much better than those not containing Lecithin and Tween 80 in detecting faecal coliform.

Objective To investigate the synergistic effects of pirarubicin (THP) combined with hyperthermia on proliferation and invasive potential of gastrointestinal cancer cells in vitro and to discuss the underlying mechanisms. Methods Gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 was established, and they were divided into 4 groups: control group (37℃), high temperature group (43℃), drug group (37℃+THP), and drug and high temperature group (43℃+THP). After THP and hyperthermia treatment, cell proliferative ability was determined by soft agar clonogenic assay, cell nuclear antigen PCNA was detected by flow cytometry, cyclin E mRNA level was assessed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Cell invasion assay was assessed by using transwell chamber model. Results Strong synergistic inhibitory effects on clonogenic ability of MGC-803 cells were observed after MGC-803 cells were treated with pirarubicin in combination with hyperthermia (P

Pancreatic cancer is one of the malignant turnouts, the rate of early diagnosis is very low. Retrieval reliable early diagnosis marker becomes stringent requirement for improving the prognosis. Proteomics is able to un-cover and explore the tumor marker. The article describes the research progress of proteomics in the tumor markers of the pancreatic cancer tissue, juice and serum.
6. Endovascular embolization of an infectious intracranial aneurysm caused by paragonimiasis: A case report
Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2019;16(8):426-428
Infectious intracranial aneurysm induced by paragonimiasis is very rare in clinic. Interventional treatment is one of the effective therapies and regular antiparasite therapy is necessary after embolization. This retrospective study summarized one case of intracranial aneurysm caused by paragonimiasis involving the medical history, laboratory examination, imaging findings and treatment strategy, and analyzed the diagnosis and treatment of the disease with literature review.
7. Callus induction and establishment of plant regeneration system of Saposhnikovia divaricate
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2018;49(13):3127-3133
Objective: To establish the regeneration system of Saposhnikovia divaricate (Turcz.) Schisck. Methods: The effects of different explants, temperature, medium, and illumination was studied on the induction of S. divaricate. Response surface test design was used to optimize the hormone ratio of callus induction and proliferation. Results: The leaves of S. divaricate were used as the experimental materials, the optimal medium for the callus induction was MS + 6-BA 0.90 mg/L + 2,4-D 1.05 mg/L + KT 0.96 mg/L, with temperature of 25 ℃ and light of 12 h/d. The optimal medium for callus proliferation was MS + 6-BA 0.56 mg/L + 2,4-D 0.48 mg/L + KT 0.40 mg/L, and the subculture cycle was 35 d. The optimal medium for adventitious shoots was MS + NAA 0.6 mg/L + 6-BA 1.0 mg/L. The optimal medium for root growing was MS + NAA 0.4 mg/L + 6-BA 0.1 mg/L. Conclusion: S. divaricate callus was successfully induced and a stable and efficient plant regeneration system was established.
8. Monte Carlo simulation improving therapeutic regimens of biapenem against enterobacteriaceae bacteria infection in elderly subjects
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2016;51(12):1028-1032
OBJECTIVE: To provide basis for rational use of biapenem in elderly patients through Monte Carlo simulation. METHODS: A total of 294 strains from five species of Enterobacteriaceae were collected. The MICs of biapenem against the bacteria were measured by double broth dilution method. Six therapeutic regimens (300 mg q24h; 300 mg q12h; 300 mg q8h; 300 mg q6h; 600 mg q24h; 600 mg q12h) were simulated by using Monte Carlo simulation, then the probability of target attainment (PTA) and cumulative fraction of response (CFR) were calculated. RESULTS: In patients at 65-74 years old, only the CFR of 300 mg q24h regimen was <90% (73.69%) for E. coli; only the CFRs of 300 mg and 600 mg q24h treatment regimens were <90% (64.98%,82.51%;63.83%,79.82%;63.11%,78.7%, respectively) for K. pneumonia, E. aerogenes and E. cloacae; in patients ≥75 years old, all of the regimens had PTAs >90% for E. coli and E. aerogenes; only the 300 mg q24h regimen had CFRs<90% (89.39% and 88.98%) for K. pneumonia and E. cloacae; for E. aerogenes, all the regimens had CFRs <90%. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that different regimens can be used for target therapy of biapenem on the basis of MICs, while frequency of q12h or higher can be used for experiential therapy of enterobacteriaceae infection in old people in our hospital. Other antimicrobial agents should be chosen for treatment of E. aerogenes.
