China Medical Equipment 2014;(5):107-108
Objective:To determine blood magnesium and urinary magnesium in children with asthma exacerbation and discuss the relationship between the magnesium level and children with asthma attack. Methods:The observation group include 90 children who were 0~6 years old with asthma exacerbation that admission to our hospital since May 2008 to May 2012. The control group was 100 children with the same age to the observation group to accept the health examination. Every child in two groups were taking venous blood of 2ml and 24h urine samples. Record the amount of urine at the same time. Using automatic biochemical analyzer to detect the serum magnesium concentration and urinary magnesium concentration. Results: The urinary magnesium concentration of observation group was obviously lower than control group (t=8.52, P<0.001);the serum magnesium concentration of two groups had no significant difference (t=2.21, P>0.05). Conclusion:Children with asthma in acute attack stage with magnesium deficiency. Urinary magnesium concentration determination is simple, and it is a effective method that can be used to judge whether there is magnesium deficiency. Serum magnesium concentration cannot be used as a reliable indicator of magnesium ion balance.

China Oncology 1998;0(01):-
Background and purpose:Backgrounds and Objective: Oxaliplatin is a third-generation platinum compound,there are some distinct differeuces in mechanism between cisplatin and oxaliplatin,and oxaliplatin is less toxic Poorly differentiated cartinoma is the most common histological type,for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,although radiotherapy is the basic therapeutic approach to nasopharyngeal carcinoma,chemotherapy is also important for recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma,so in this work we analyzed the effects of oxaliplatin on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines in vitro.Methods:CNE2 was incubated with oxaliplatin at various concentrations and times,cell growth inhibition was assessed by MTT-microculture tetrazolium assay,cell-cycle kinetics and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and microscopy transmission electron.Results:Growth of CNE2 cells was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent and time-dependment fashion.The inhibition of cell growth inhibition was(95.6?0.7)% after incubation with 100 ug/ml oxaliplatin for 48 hours,the cell was arrested at G_(2)/M and apoptosis was induced.When CNE2 cells were treated with oxaliplatin at the concentration of 0、0.03、4.0、100 ?g/ml,the rates of CNE2 cell apoptosis were(0.19?0.17)% 、(0.37?0.09)%、(5.50?1.08)%、(9.43?0.09)%,respectively.24 hours after 20 ?g/ml the CNE2 cells were characterized by chromatin condensation,chromatin crescent formation,nucleus fragmentation and apoptosis body by transmission electron microscopy.Conclusions:Oxaliplatin suppresses the growth of CNE2 cells in vitro by causing cell-cycle arrest and cell apoptosis.
6.Effects of flavonoids on lipoxygenase activities and their biological functions
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2009;23(6):490-496
Lipoxygenase(LOX) is related to emergence and development of many diseases, such as acute and chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and tumor. Therefore, the inhibition of LOX may play an important role in the prevention and treatment of these diseases. Many kinds of flavonoids, such as chalcones, flavonols, flavones and flavanols, have inhibitory effect on 5-LOX, 12-LOX and 15-LOX probably through inhibiting expression of LOX, bonding to the enzyme or reacting with free radicals generated at the active site of the enzyme. Their inhibitory activities are related to their structures. The inhibitory effects of flavonoids on LOX maybe one of mechanisms of flavonoids' some biological functions, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To explore the effect of c fos antisense gene transfection on the protection of cardiomyocytes following hypoxia and burn serum treatment. Methods Burn serum was collected from Wistar rats with 30% total body surface area(TBSA) of Ⅲ degree burns. The mixture gas containing 1% O 2 was used as hypoxia model. The c fos antisense gene recombinant was constructed by genetic recombination technique. Cardiomyocytes from neonatal Wistar rats were cultured in vitro with hypoxia and burn serum treatment. c fos antisense gene recombinant was transfected into the cultured cardiomyocytes. Expression of c fos mRNA was determined by RT PCR. Expressions of c fos protein, troponin T and ? Tubulin in cardiomyocytes were determined by Western blotting in the transfected and non transfected groups. Results RT PCR results showed that the expression of c fos mRNA increased significantly in the non transfected group. But after transfection of c fos antisense gene recombinant, the expression of c fos mRNA decreased significantly as compared with the non transfected cardiomyocytes. Western blotting results showed that the expression of c fos protein in the transfected group decreased remarkably as compared with the non transfected group, but the expressions of ? Tubulin and troponin T increased significantly in the transfected group. Conclusion Burn serum and hypoxia can cause the injury of cardiomyocytes. c fos antisense gene recombinant transfection has the protective effect on cardiomyocytes exposed to burn serum and hypoxia.
