Objective To investigate the organic pollutants in the contaminated water irrigation area soil and to study the lipid peroxidation effect of the pollutants on mouse. Methods The organic pollutants of the polluted irrigation soil and control soil were extracted using the supersonic oscillator. The ingredients of the organic pollutants were measured by the GC-MS spectrum. The 40 sanitary Kunming mice were randomly divided into five groups: the dimethylsulfoxide control group,low dose group of control soil,high dose group of control soil,low dose group of polluted soil,high dose group of polluted soil. The administered doses of the low and high dose groups were 25.5 g dry soil/kg body weight per day by oral for two weeks. The activities of T-SOD,GSH-Px and the content of MDA in serum of mice were determined. Results Phenanthrene,yrene,diphenyl,fluorene,naphthalene,dimethyl-naphthalene,2,3,6-trimethyl-naphthalene,anthracene,dimethyl-anthracene,1,4-dimethyl-anthracene,fluoranthene,4-methyl-pyrene,dibenzothiophen,4-methyl-dibenzofuran,dibenzofuran,butylated-hydroxytoluene,dodecane,neopentyl-cyclohexane,trimethyl-heptane,1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine,butethal were detected in the polluted irrigation soil and their levels were 14.3,2.1,1.3,1.1,0.8,1.3,0.4,2.9,7.2,2.3,9.1,0.2,0.4,1.4,1.7,0.37,0.9,0.11,0.02,0.02 and 0.13 mg/kg respectively in the polluted irrigation soil. Trimethyl-heptane,dimethyl-heptane and 1,2-dimethyl-cyclohexanimine were detected,and their levels were all 0.01 mg/kg in control soil. Compared with the solvent of dimethylsulfoxide group,the activities of T-SOD and GSH-Px of the high dose group of control soil and two dose groups of polluted soil all decreased,the differences were all significant(P0.05). Conclusion The soil has been contaminated with organic pollutants in the investigated area and the soil extract may produce a certain effect on lipid peroxidation in mice.

Objective To investigate the changes of Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity in the proximal tubules (PT) of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) and the correlation of PT Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity and endogenous digitalis-like substance (EDLS). Methods Female Wistar rats were developed a rat model of T2DM and then divided into 3 groups after injected stretozotocin, that is, 5 weeks group, 7 weeks group and 9 weeks group. The PT were microdissection by freehand. Na~+,K~+ -ATPase activity of PT were determined by liquid scintillation counter. Serum EDLS and insulin were determined using radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with control group, T2DM rats were associated with hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, dyslipidemia, and insulin resistance; Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT in T2DM rats was significantly increased, and there was no significant difference among 3 sub-groups. Serum EDLS level was significantly enhanced in T2DM, however, EDLS levels were no significant difference among 3 sub-groups. Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT had negative relation with EDLS level in serum. Conclusion Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity of PT in T2DM rats is increased and EDLS level in serum decrease may play a important role.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different concentrations of remifentanil on the expression and distribution of gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) in the cardiomyocytes of rabbits.Methods Healthy adult rabbits of both sexes,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium.Their hearts were rapidly excised and retrogradely perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃.After 15 min of stabilization with K-H solution,the 24 isolated hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),and low,medium and high concentrations of remifentanil groups (R1-3 groups).The hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution at 37 ℃ in group C.The hearts were perfused for 60 min with K-H solution containing remifentanil 12,25 and 50 ng/ml in R1-3 groups,respectively.The myocardial specimens were then obtained from the anterior wall of the left ventricle for detection of the expression and distribution of Cx43 by Western blot and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Results The expression of Cx43 was gradually down-regulated in C and R1-3 groups in turn (P<0.05).Compared with group C,there was a tendency for the proteins localized at end-to-end contact sites of ventricular cardiomyocytes to localize at side-to-side contact sites in R1-3 groups,and the distribution was messy in R1-3 groups.Conclusion Remifentanil dose-dependently down-regulates the expression of Cx43 and changes the distribution of Cx43,which may be one of the mechanisms of remifentanil-induced arrhythmia in rabbits.
