The uhrastructure and atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)mRNA in myocardium of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were studied along with the effect of rosiglitazone.It was found that the myocardial ultrastructure was demaged in diabetic rats.Rosiglitazone may ameliorate the lesion in myocardium,and lower the ANP mRNA in diabetic rats(1.14?0.05 at 6 weeks and 1.12?0.09 at 10 weeks vs 0.97?0.14,both P

The macroscopic characteristics, tissue, caterpillar body wall and powder of Ophiocordyceps xuefengensis in different batch numbers were observed and researched by the macroscopic and microscopic identification methods. The result shows that the morphology, size, abdominal annulations of caterpillar, etc. of 0. xuefengensis are the macroscopic identification characteristics, the caterpillar body surface mycelium, body wall sculpture and crochets on abdominal legs are the microscopic identification characteristics. These characters are stable and regular discriminant features, which are proved to be the identification basis of O. xuefengensis. In addition, The characters such as crochets on abdominal legs arrange in two parallel ellipse rings, the inner crochets are long strip, and the external toes are unciform, are specific.

Objective To investigate the antiproliferation and induction differentiation of human gas- tric carcinoma which human gastric lower-differentiation mucinous carcinoma MGC-803 cells transplanted in- to nude mice by using rosiglitazone(ROS),and to preliminarily explore the mechanism of differentiation. Methods The mice were randomly divided into five groups:model,ATRA,ROS 25 mg?kg~(-1),ROS 50 mg/kg, ROS 100 mg/kg.After that the volumes were measured and inhibition rates were calculated.The cell cycle was detected by FCM.The protein expression level of Mucin SAC was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The volume of tumor decreased significantly in ROS treatment groups,the differences had statistical significance compared with model group(P0.05).The xenograft tumors of ROS groups demonstrated the characteristics of differentiation.Xenograft tumor cells were arrested in G_0/G_1 phase,and the cells in S phase decreased significantly,and up-regulated Mucin SAC gene expression.Conclusion ROS could inhibit the growth of tumor,and the effect were dose-dependent with ROS.ROS could induce the differentiation of Xenograft tumor cells of gastric cancer.Its mechanism might be related to the inhibit of transition from G_1 to S phase,degrade the activity of proliferation,regulate the expres- sion of Mucin 5AC.

Objective:To investigate the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on the secretion of stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) by high glucose injured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), so as to lay a foundation for further study on AS-IV improving angiogenesis by regulating SDF-1 α/CXCR4 axis of endothelial cells.Methods:HUVECs were isolated and cultured from the umbilical vein of full-term healthy newborns and identified by von Willebrand factor (vWF) combined with 4-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) nuclear staining. The obtained HUVECs was cultured in EGM-2 medium with 30 mmol/L glucose for 120 h to obtain high glucose damaged HUVECs. After intervention with different concentration gradients (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 100 mg/L, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L) AS-IV for 72 hours, the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method to determine the best concentration of AS-IV. The supernatant of damaged HUVECs were collected at 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after intervention with the best concentration of AS-IV, and the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 were detected by ELISA method to determine the best action time of AS-IV. The damaged HUVECs was randomly divided into experimental group and control group, and the blank group was set up at the same time. The experimental group was treated with the best concentration of AS-IV and the best time, the control group and the blank group were treated with the same volume of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, and the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in each group were detected by ELISA method.Results:The vWF factor on the cell membrane was green fluorescence, and the nucleus was blue after DAPI staining. When the fusion image showed green fluorescence, HUVECs were identified by blue fluorescence. The expression of SDF-1α in damaged HUVECs was the best when treated with AS-IV of 100 mg/L for 24 hours (1 642.87 pg/ml), and the expression of CXCR4 in damaged HUVECs was the best when treated with AS-IV of 50 mg/L for 48 hours (8.44 ng/ml). Compared with the control group, the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the experimental group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). While the contents of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in the experiment group were slightly less than those in the blank group and there was no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AS-IV can promote the expression of SDF-1α and CXCR4 in HUVECs damaged by high glucose to return to normal physiological level, so as to play the role of vascular repair and neovascularization.

Heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is a class of molecular chaperones essential for maintaining protein homeostasis in cells. Hsp70s also play important roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and infectious diseases, which makes them potential targets for the treatment of these diseases. It is necessary to develop small molecule inhibitors to validate this class of important therapeutic targets. In recent years, the discovery of small molecule inhibitors for Hsp70s has made remarkable progress, and Hsp70 inhibitors with different modalities have been reported. In this paper, Hsp70 and relevant diseases are briefly introduced, and the discovery of Hsp70 small molecule inhibitors with distinct modalities are summarized, providing reference for the further discovery and development of Hsp70 small molecule inhibitors.

Objective To understand the current situation of iodine deficiency diserders(IDD) in Longyan City and to evaluate the effect of prevention and control measures of IDD in order to provide evidence for formulating prevention and control tactics. Methods During the year of 2006 and 2007, the 30 primary schools were screened by population proportion survey(PPS) from the 7 counties of Longyan City. Forty children aged 8-10 years in each school were randomly selected as a group to examine thyroid, and 7 children in each group were selected to measure the urine iodine and the salt iodine at the same time. The goiter rote, the median urinary iodine, the consumption rate of qualified iodized salt, the iodine salt coverage rate, the rate of qualified iodized salt and the non-iodized rate were detected. Results The goiter rate of children aged 8-10 years old in Longyan City was 0.94%(79/8438). The median urinary iodine was 259.12 μg/L. The consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 97.86% (1462/1494). The iodine salt coverage rate was 99.46%(1486/1494). The rate of qualified iodized salt was 98.38 (1462/1486), and the non-iodized rate was 0.54% (8/1494). Conclusions All indicators have reached the national standard of eliminating IDD in Longyan City.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of non-ablative fractional laser Lux1540nm in superficial scars therapy.

METHODSAccording to the Fitzpatrik skin type and scar appearances, appropriate laser energy and pulse width were selected for scar treatment. Therapeutic effect and side-effect was evaluated by preoperative photos and 6 months of postoperative photos.

RESULTSThe total effective rate was 78.12% (28/32). 7 cases (21.88%) showed ineffective results. The therapeutic effect was improved along the increase of treatments. Temporary hyperpigmentation was found in 3 cases (9.38%) and faded away within 3-6 months. Temporary erythema faded away within 4-24 hours.

CONCLUSIONThe treatment of non-ablative fractional laser Lux1540nm for superficial scar is effective with minimum side effect.
