AIM: To study the change of blood lipid and difference of expressed gene in chest aorta cells of atherosclerosis model rats with or without the treatment of Taishan Ganoderma Lucidum amylose.METHODS: The concentrations of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in serum were measured by automatic serum biochemical assay. Differential-display reverse transcription-PCR (DDRT-PCR) was used to analyze the differential expressed gene in chest aorta cells of atherosclerosis model rat with or without the treatment of Taishan Ganoderma Lucidum amylose. The differential expressed cDNA was confirmed by reverse Northern blotting.RESULTS: Up-regulated and down-regulated cDNA were isolated in chest aorta cells of atherosclerosis model rats with or without Taishan Ganoderma Lucidum amylose treatment. The known up-regulated genes included cytB561, ERP72, nitric oxide synthase 2 and Gpx1. The known down-regulated genes included thymosin β4, FGFRI oncogene, ICAM-1, FK506 binding protein, c-myc and TNF-α. CONCLUSION: Taishan Ganoderma Lucidum amylose decreases the level of blood lipid.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of different doses of ramipril on blood pressure and renal function of early di-abetic nephropathy patients. METHODS:A total of 108 patients with early diabetic nephropathy selected from our hospital during May 2014-Dec. 2015 as research objects were divided into group A,B,C,with 36 cases in each group. All groups were given Ramipril tablets,5 mg for group A,2.5 mg for group B,1.25 mg for group C,qd,for 8 weeks. Blood pressure(SBP,DBP)and renal function indexes(24 h urine protein,β 2-microglobulin,UAE)were compared among 3 groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was also recorded in 3 groups. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in blood pressure or renal function indexes among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,blood pressures 24 h urine protein,β2-microglobulin and UAE of 3 groups were decreased significantly;those indexes of group A were significantly lower than group B and C,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in each index between group B and C(P>0.05). Both hypoten-sion and hypoglycemia occurred in 3 groups during treatment,but were recovered after stopping treatment. CONCLUSIONS:High dose of ramipril(5 mg,qd)shows good effects on early diabetic nephropathy and reduces urinary protein excretion,but doesn't af-fect its safety.

Objective To study the toxic effect of exotoxin A of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on keratocytes.Methods Three-dimensional gels of type I collagen containing rabbit keratocytes were incubated in the presence of different concentrations of exotoxin A(0.1,1.0,10 mg?L-1),cultivated for 24 h at 37℃,the change of keratocytes in morphology was observed under the light microscope,and the amount of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The LDH contents in different concentrations(0.1,1.0,10 mg?L-1)of exotoxin A groups were higher than that in the group without exotoxin A(P

Objective To improve the method to establish a rat model of vascular dementia and to better serve the experimental studies on vascular dementia.Methods We used the method of“repeatedly clipping the carotid artery com-bined with injection of sodium nitroprusside and with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligation” to prepare a rat model of vascular dementia.The drug piracetam was used to validate the established rat model in respect of the behavior and histopa-thology.Results Different from the reports of previous research, firstly, the results of this study suggested that injection dose of sodium nitroprusside should be 2.0 mg/kg, room temperature should be controlled at 28℃ during surgical opera-tion, and kept at 25℃postoperatively for 24 hours.Under these experimental conditions, the rats were stable and the death rate was reduced.Secondly,“repeatedly clipping carotid artery combined with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligation”could cut off about a third of cerebral blood supply, and causing chronic cerebral ischemia, which is seemingly more con-sistent with the pathogenesis of vascular dementia.Experimental results showed that compared with the control group, the navigation incubation period was extended and space search ability became worse in the model group, cell number was de-creased, with blurred cell contour and deeply stained cytoplasm, and cell nuclei were not clear in the hippocampal tissue. Conclusions Our findings indicate that the improved methodrepeatedly clipping the carotid artery combined with injec-tion of sodium nitroprusside and with permanent unilateral carotid artery ligationcan be used to efficiently establish a rat model of vascular dementia.The similar results of experiment using piracetam validate that this rat model can be used in vascular dementia-related experimental studies.

OBJECTIVE:To study in vitro anticancer activity of conjugated linoleic acid-gemcitabine conjugate (CLA-GEM). METHODS:IC50 of different tumor cells (breast cancer MCF-7 cell,breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell,lung cancer A549 cell, small cell lung cancer NCI-H446 cell,glioma C6 cell)were investigated after treated with different concentrations(0.001-100μmol/L)of CLA-GEM and gemcitabine(GEM)for 72 h;survival rates of MCF-7 cell were investigated after treated with above so-lution for 24,48 and 72 h. The dependence of 0.001-100 μmol/L CLA-GEM and GEM to nucleoside transporter was investigated (by IC50)through MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells treated with nucleoside transporter inhibitors(NBMPR,100 μmol/L)and di-pyridamole(4 μg/ml). The change of MCF-7 cell cycle was investigated after treated with 1 μmol/L CLA-GEM and GEM for 24 h. RESULTS:Compared with GEM,IC50 of MCF-7,MDA-MB-231 and NCI-H446 cells became lower after treated with CLA- GEM (P<0.01),there were no statistical significances in IC50 between A549 and C6 cells(P>0.05). Survival rate of MCF-7 cells de-creased significantly after treated with GEM for 48 h and CLA-GEM for 24 h. Survival rate of MCF-7 cells was the lowest,being 21% after treated with GEM for 72 h,while tumor cells were sacrificed by CLA-GEM completely. Compared with GEM or CLA-GEM,IC50 of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells increased significantly after treated with NBMPR,dipyridamole combined with GEM (P<0.01);there were no statistical significance in IC50 after treated with NBMPR,dipyridamole combined with CLA-GEM (P>0.05). Compared with GEM,CLA-GEM could prolong 6% of S stage of MCF-7 cells (P<0.01). CONCLU-SIONS:Compared with GEM,CLA-GEM exhibits significant antitumor activity and rapid action,and it isn’t influenced by nucle-ic acid transportation.
