Aim To investigate the interaction between regulatory proteins related to the activation of eNOS and CYP4A/20-HETE.Methods The endothelia of pulmonary artery of new born bovine were cultured and divided into four groups: controlling group: ethanol solvent as vehicle (the volume is the same with 1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE) was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min; 20-HETE 5 min treatment group:1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE was added to culture dish and incubated for 5 min; 20-HETE 10 min treatment group:1?10~ -6 mol?L~ -1 20-HETE was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min; VEGF 10 min treatment group: 1?10~ -8 mol?L~ -1 VEGF was added to culture dish and incubated for 10 min. CYP4A,eNOS and proteins related to the activation of eNOS were measured by Immunoprecipitating and immunobloting.Results Expressions of eNOS and phospho-eNOS(Ser1177)in PAECs were upregulated after the cells were treated with 20-HETE, and similar phenomena were observed when 20-HETE was replaced by VEGF; 20-HETE increased the binding of Hsp、Akt and eNOS.Conclusions ①20-HETE phosphorylates eNOS at Ser1177 site which activates the eNOS to catalyze L-aginine to produce nitric oxide.②eNOS binds with Hsp90 and Akt in endothelial cell of pulmonary artery and 20-HETE increase the binding. ③eNOS binds with CYP4A in endothelial cell of pulmonary artery.

Objective To investigate the effects of rhG-CSF on the improvement of cognitive impairment and anti-apoptosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) induced by Aβ1-42 in rat. Methods Healthy male Wistarirats were randomly assigned to the Aβ group, treatment group and sham operation group. Aβ1-42 (10μg) was injected into bilateral hippocampus to create the rat model of AD. Rats in rhG-CSF group were subcutaneously subjected to 50μg/(kg · d) rhG-CSF for 5 days, while rats in Aβ group were subjected to normal saline. Morris water maze tests were done and expressions of caspase-3 protein were determined by immunohistochemical method on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th day after administration. Results (1) The avoiding latent periods of rhG-CSF group ( ( 34. 33 ±6. 47 ) s, (42. 08 ± 6. 36 ) s, (46. 88 ± 7. 66 ) s, respectively ) were shorter than that of Ap group ((49.79 ±4.87)s, (50.25 ±6.81 )s, (51. 33 ±6.90)s, respectively). The percentages of swimming distances in the target quadrant in rhG-CSF group ( (41.00 ±7.62)% ,(43.33 ±8. 16)% ,(44. 67 ±8.07)% ,respectively) were increased comparing with Ap group((25.33 ±6.89)% , (23. 83 ±4.67)% ,(21.50 ±4.64)% ,respectively). The differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). (2) Compared with sham operation group,the positive rate of caspase-3 protein in rat's hippocampus of Ap group significantly increased after injecting Aβ1-42 The positive rates of caspase-3 protein in rhG-CSF group on the 7th, 14th day ( (7. 93 ±6. 33) and (8. 83 ±5. 94) were lower than Aβ group ( ( 10.43 ±7. 16) and ( 11. 34 ± 5. 17 ) . The differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion RhG-CSF can improve the cognitive impairment of Alzheimer Disease (AD) induced by Aβ1-42 in rat, decrease the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and delay the decline of its learning and memory ability to some extent.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of mycolic acid for identification of Mycobacterium species using SMIS. Methods One hundred and eighteen clinical Mycobacterium isolates collected from Beijing Tuberculosis and Thoracic Tumor Research Institute through whole year of 2007 were analyzed. The 118 isolates contain 25 isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 93 non tuberculosis Mycobacterium identified by PNB method. Mycolic acid analysis using SMIS is evaluated for identification of a broad range of Mycobacteria in comparison with 16S rDNA , 16-23S rDNA ITS sequencing to measure the concordance rate and agreement, and verify the concordance rate and agreement among results of mycolic acid, sequencing and PNB in identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis and non tuberculosis Mycobacterium. Results The concordance rate between mycolic acid method analysis and DNA sequencing is 92% ( 108/118), of which concordance rate in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non tuberculosis Mycobacterium are 95% (35/37) and 90% (73/81) respectively, agreement of both is great( agreement Kappa value is 0. 96). Through retrospective analysis, the concordance of results between SMIS and PNB method analysis is 90% (106/118)and agreement is well( agreement Kappa value is 0. 73 ), the concordance of results between sequencing and PNB method analysis is also 90% ( 106/118 ) and agreement is well (agreement Kappa value is 0. 74 ),despite the identification results of 11 isolates by PNB method are discordant. Conclusion Mycolic acid analysis by SMIS enables rapid identification of a broad range of clinical Mycobacterium species, which could play an important role in polyphasic identification of Mycobacterium species.

Objective:To investigate the status of fear disease progression and hope level in patients with transient ischemia attack and to analyze the relationship between them.Methods:From January 2018 to March 2020,a convenient sampling method was used to select 136 patients with transient ischemia attack. The Chinese version of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form(FoP-Q-SF) and Herth Hope Index(HHI) were investigated.Results:The total score of FoP-Q-SF in patients with transient ischemia attack was 32.78±5.34, and the total score of HHI was 34.86±5.12. The total score of FoP-Q-SF and the scores of each dimension were negatively correlated with the total score of HHI and the scores of each dimension ( r values were -0.613--0.376, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Patients with transient ischemia attack have a higher level of fear disease progression, which is related to the level of hope, and can reduce the level of fear disease progression by increasing the level of hope.
