AIM: To observe activity of scavenger receptor of macrophage derived from monocytes, the change of inflammation factor in plasma (including CRP, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1) and the influence of atorvastatin on activity of scavenger receptor in patients with coronary heart disease. METHODS: 75 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), whose plasma lipid levels were normal, were divided into three groups: stable angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris and acute myocardia infarction. 29 healthy persons were served as control. The level of C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) in plasma were determined in all subjects. Monocytes in peripheral blood were dissevered and cultured to transform into macrophage. The influence of atorvastatin on activity of scavenger receptor in macrophage was observed. RESULTS: The level of CRP, sICAM-1, sVCAM-1 and activity of scavenger receptor of macrophage in acute myocardia infarction group were higher than that in stable angina pectoris, unstable angina pectoris and control. Atorvastatin lowered the activity of scavenger receptor of macrophages derived from monocytes in patients with coronary heart disease. Activity of scavenger receptor of macrophages derived from monocytes in patients with coronary heart disease was correlated positively with CRP, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1. CONCLUSION: Activity of scavenger receptor may be taken as index for monitoring the degree of active vulnerable atherosclerosis plaque. Atorvastatin may inhibit activity of scavenger receptor in macrophages derived from monocytes in patients with coronary heart disease.

In 2009, hepatitis E virus was first detected in wild rats ( Rattus norvegicus) in Germany and was designated as rat hepatitis E virus (rat HEV). Since then, rat HEV has been detected in various murine rodents in many geographic regions. The potential of rat HEV to infect human has been ignored as the viral genomic nucleotide sequences of rat HEV and the HEV strains of human sources are only about 50%-56% identical. Recently, a few clinical hepatitis E cases with chronic or acute rat HEV infection have been reported and raised many concerns. Here, advances in studies of the prevalence of rat HEV in animals and the clinical hepatitis E cases caused by rat HEV were reviewed.

The effects of D-polymannuronic sulfate (DPS) on the norepinephrine (NA) or potassium chloride (KCL)-induced contraction of rat aortic rings were studied in this paper. The results showed that DPS at the final concentration of Img ? L-1 inhibited the contraction of aortic rings e-voked by NA or KCL and shift doseresponse curves for NA or KCL to the right in a non-parallel fa-sion and depressed their maximal response, implicating that DPS afforded the noncompetitive antagonism on contraction of rat aortic rings induced by NA or KCL. This finding suggested that DPS exerted an inhibitory action of potential-dependent calcium channel and that of receptor-operated calcium channel in vascular smooth muscle.

AIM: To observe the effects of irbesartan and perindopril on pressure-overload cardiac hypertrophy in rats. METHODS: 40 male adult Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups. One was sham operation group, other four were aortic banding groups. One week after operation, all rats were gavaged with normal saline, perindopril, irbesartan or combination of perindopril and irbesartan. Morphometric determination, calcineurin (CaN) expression, CaN and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca 2+-ATPase activity were performed at the end of 6 weeks of drug intervention. RESULTS: Left ventricular mass index (LVMI), transverse diameter of myocardical cell (TDM), CaN activity were remarkably decreased after drug intervention and this decrease was most remarkable in the combination group. SR Ca 2+-ATPase activity increased after drug intervention, especially in the combination group. CaN expression in myocardium were remarkably decreased after drug intervention. LVMI was positively correlated with TDM and CaN, negatively correlated with SR Ca 2+-ATPase. CONCLUSION: Both irbesartan and perindopril decrease CaN activity, increase SR Ca 2+-ATPase activity and combination of them has synergic effects on regressing of ventricular hypertrophy.
