Objective To investigate the expression of calpains and calpastatin in diaphragm of a rat model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). Methods Fotry male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group and the COPD group. Rats in the COPD group were copied by expo -sing to cigarettes smoking and dripping lipopolysaccharide into trachea. Pathological changes of lung and diaphragm were deteted. Immunohis-tochemistry and RT-PCR were performed to determine protein and mRNA expression of calapins and calpastatin. Results Diaphragmatic atrophy was observed in rats in the COPD group instead of the control group. The protein and mRNA expression of calpains in diaphrag-m of COPD group were Increased than those in the control group(P < 0.05). On the contrary ,the expression of calpastatin was significantly reduced in rats in the COPD group(t =-9.38 and-2.97;P < 0.001 ,P = 0.005). Conclusions An imbalance in the expression of calpains/calpastatin in diaphragm was observed in COPD rats ,and this imbalance may be responsible for diaphragm atrophy.

BACKGROUND: Learning and memory is a very complex biological phenomenon. Although quite a few researches on the substances participate in learning and memory and the brain areas related with learning and memory,its mechanism is still not completely clarified.OBJECTIVE:ro study the difference of antioxidase activity at different brain area in rats with different ability of learning and memory to reveal the relationship between the ability of learning and memory and the activity of antioxidase in specific brain area.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Department of Biochemistry in Jining Medical College.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Biochemistry of Jining Medical College and Suzbeu Medical College between March 2001 and January 2004. Forty 15-month old male Wistar rats with a body mass between 580 g and 650 g were selected.INTERVENTIONS: The detection of learning memory ability was carried out in MG-2 trisection radiation maze. Correction response was that the rats escaped to safe area after electric shock. Standard of master was that the rats had 9 out of 10 times continuously of correction. Observatory indicators included times of response required reaching the standard and the correct response rate. Good learning. ability meant 40 or less than 40 times of responses to reach standard; otherwise, poor learning ability was considered. Detection was repeated after 24 hours to observe the memory. Good memory meant 3 times continuously of correct response; otherwise, poor memory was considered. Rats with good learning ability and memory were included into group 1 (n= 10) and the rats with poor learning ability and memory were included into group 2( n = 12). The rest rats were washed out.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase(CAT) and glutathione-peroxidase(GSH-Px) of five brain areas including cerebral cortex, cerebella, striatum, hippocampus and hypothalamus in rats of two groups.RESULTS: To compare the rats with poor learning and memory ability with rats with good learning and memory ability: SOD activity in cortex, hippocampus and striatum significantly reduced ( t = 3.82, 4. 50, 6. 76, P ＜0.01); CAT activity in cortex, hippocampus, striatum and hypothalamus significantly reduced(t =4.75, 7.06, 10. 88, 17.28, P＜0.001); and GSH-Px activity was similar in each brain area without statistical significance.CONCLUSION: Hippocampus, cortex, striatum and hypothalamus all might participate in learning memory process, and the activities of antioxidases in these areas are closely related with learning memory.

AIM: To prepare and purify the polyclonal antibodies against human myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 (hMR-1), then to characterize the purity, titer, specificity and the availability.METHODS: Two polypeptides named peptide 1 and 2 were synthesized based on the bioinformatics analysis of the sequence of hMR-1 by using software TMHMM and DNAStar, then coupled with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) for immunization. These peptides for immunization were mixed and injected into New Zealand rabbits to prepare antibodies specifically against hMR-1. ELISA assay was used to detect the titers of the antibodies. After purification by immunoaffinity chromatography, antibodies were identified by Western blotting and immunocytofluorescent assays. Applications of the antibodies on neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were also employed.RESULTS: (1)The titers of antibodies were 1:10~5. In WB assay, a specific 17kD band was detected, corresponding to the predicted molecular weight of hMR-1; the positive fluorescent signals were distinct. (2)On the neonatal rat cardiomyocytes model, we observed a peri-nucleus location. The fluorescent signal of hMR-1 overexpression group was much stronger than that in vector control and normal control groups.CONCLUSION: All these results indicate that the antibodies obtained from poly peptides mixture immunization have either human original or rat original antigens. The antibody is available for using in Western blotting or immunofluorescent assays.

To study the effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction (BHD) on neural cell apoptosis after cerebral ischemia in gerbils and its mechanism, gerbil model with cerebral ischemia was established by clamping of bilateral carotid arteries and then reperfusion. Neural cell apoptosis of hippocampal gyrus slides was observed under electron microscope 120 hours after reperfusion. The activities of Na + -K + ATPase , Ca 2+ ATPase , Mg 2+ ATPase and NOS, and the contents of lactic acid, NO and amino acid in cerebral tissues were detected 120 hours after reperfusion. The results showed that BHD can reduce the incidence of neural cell apoptosis of hippocampal gyrus, prevent the decrease of Na + -K + ATPase and Ca 2+ ATPase activities, increase NO content and NOS activity, and reduce cerebral glucose content. It is indicated that BHD can counteract neural cell apoptosis after cerebral ischemia in gerbils and its mechanism may be related to the improvement of cerebral energy metabolism, regulation of NO synthesis and antagonism of toxic effect of excitatory amino acid.
