ObjectiveTo investigate the effect ofpinacidil hyperpolarizaed arrest on p38 mitogen-activited protein kinase (p38MAPK) during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in isolated rat hearts.MethodsFortyeight male SD rats weighting 250-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups( n =8 each): natural arrest group (group A) ; St.Thomas group (group B) ; pinacidil hyperpolarization arrest group (group C) ;5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) group (group D);HMR-1098 group(group E) and 5-HD + HMR-1098 group(group F).Langendorff reperfusion model was established and K-H solution was retrogradely perfused for 15 min.In group A the hearts were arrested naturally afar perfusion was stopped; in group B St.Thomas solution was perfused; in group C pinacidil hyperpolarization solution was perfused; in the other three groups,K-H solution was perfused to isolated rat hearts for 10 min followed by 5 min 5-HD (group D) or HMR-1098(group E) or 5-HD and HMR-1098(group F) perfusion,then hyperpolarization arrest solution was given in each group.Each hearts suffered 60 min ischemia after arrest followed by 30 min K-H solution reperfusion.Coronary flow(CF),HR,left ventricular developed pressure( LVDP),left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP) and the maximum rate of pressure rise (dp/dtmax) were measured at the end of 15 min K-H solution perfusion and at 20 min of reperfusion.Myocardial phosphatic and nonphosphatic p38MAPK expression was determined by Western blot at 30 min of reperfusion.ResultsCompared with group C,CF,HR,LVDP,LVSP and dp/dtmax were significantly decreased at 20 min of reperfusion and phosphatic p38MAPK expression was down-regulated,non-phosphatic p38MAPK expression was up-regulated at 30 min of reperfusion in groups A,B,D,E and F (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group E,CF,HR,LVDP,LVSP and dp/ dtmax were significantly decreased at 20 min of reperfusion and phosphatic p38MAPK expression was down-regulated,non-phosphatic p38MAPK expression was up-regulated at 30 min of reperfusion in groups D and F ( P ＜0.05).ConclusionHyperpolarized arrest induced by pinacidil can improve cardiac function following myocardial I/R injury by up-regulating phosphatic p38MAPK expression,down-regulating non-phosphatic p38 MAPK expression and mitochondrial potassium channel is more important than membranous one during the regulation of phosphatic p38MAPK expression.

An LC-MS/MS method was developed to investigate the pharmacokinetic parameters in healthy Chi-nese volunteers following single and multiple oral administration of dimemorfan phosphate. In the Single-dose study,two-period and crossover study was conducted in 12 healthy volunteers,which were administered with single-dose of 10 mg or 40 mg of dimemorfan phosphate. And another 12 volunteers were administered with 20 mg. The values of AUC0-48 h,t1/2,and cmax were (11. 81 ±14. 46),(52. 60 ±96. 01 )and (34. 70 ±29. 59)ng. h/mL,(12. 11 ±2. 54),(12. 16 ±2. 01)and (12. 77 ±1. 27)h,and (0. 9653 ±0. 8178),(3. 150 ±3. 451)and (2. 167 ±1. 650)ng/mL for 10 mg,40 mg and 20 mg oral administration. The same 12 healthy volunteers as the group of single-dose of 20mg were participated in multiple-dose study,which were administered dimemorfan phos-phate 20 mg,three-time a day until the day-8,showed AUC0-48 h,t1/2,and cmax were (115. 9 ±135. 2)ng.h/mL, (11. 22 ±1. 61)h,and (7. 418 ±7. 010)ng/mL. The accumulation parameter Rcmax and RAUC was (3. 14 ±1. 34) and (3. 38 ±1. 22),respectively. Dose proportional of cmax and AUC was not concluded ranging from 10 mg to 40 mg after confidence interval criteria method. An accumulation was occurred after multiple -dose administra-tion with the consequence. And the results demonstrated significant individual difference.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expressions of tumour suppressor gene PTEN and oncogene C-myc in colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expressions of PTEN and C-myc protein in normal colorectal mucosa(n=8), adjacent non-cancerous tissues(n=10) and primary colorectal carcinoma tissues(n=60) were observed by S-P immunohistochemical assay.Results Of 60 colorectal carcinoma tissues,C-myc protein was detected in 46 cases.The expression rate of C-myc in the primary colorectal carcinoma tissues(76.70%) was significantly higher than that in the normal(0) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues(10%)(P0.05).The positive expression rate of PTEN protein in the primary colorectal carcinoma tissues(25.00%,15/60) was significantly lower than that in the normal(100%) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues(90%)(P

Subtelomeric rearrangements contribute to idiopathic mental retardation (MR), but most children with idiopathic MR do not show any chromosome abnormalities with standard cytogenetic analysis. The primed in situ labeling (PRINS) technique, using an oligonucleotide primer complementary to the telemetric repeat sequences (TTAGGG), can identify chromosome telomeric abnormality (deletion) in idiopathic MR children. In this study, seventy children with idiopathic MR were enrolled and subjected to PRINS. The results showed normal karyotype in all the children, subtelomeric rearrangements (1q del and 4q del) in 2 cases, which was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). It was concluded that PRINS is effective for the detection of subtelomeric rearrangements and may become a routine technique for cytogenetical abnormality screening.

Objective To discuss the common causes for postoperative complications after treatment of spinal fractures and their preventive measures.Methods To analyze the 32 failed eases who received internal fixation for their thoracolumbar fractures between July 1998 and April 2005 in our department.Their preoperative and postoperative results of X-ray,CT and MIR examinations were reviewed to find out the causes for failure.Three of them were treated through anterior approach and 29 through posterior approach.Eighteen screws broke in eight eases, the rods got loosened in eight cases and broken in four cases,15 pedicte screws were mis-located in eight cases and the implants got loosened in three cases.Results Thirty patients had to get a reoperation.Two were cured through non-surgical treatment.The causes for failure were found to be as follows:1,incorrect operation approach;2,in- stability of the front-middle colunm;3,unskillful operation;4,ignorance or the lesion to the adjacent vertebral discs; 5,flaws in pedicle screw design.Conclusion To prevent postoperative complications after internal fixation for spinal fractures,surgeons should strictly stick to the indications before operation,choose a proper approach and method for internal fixation,try to stabilize the front-middle column by the first intention,and have a good command of anatomy and operation skills.

A new steroid with a long cross-conjugation structure, 15a-hydroxy-(22E, 24R)-ergosta-3, 5, 8 (14), 22-tetraen-7-one (1), was isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus aculeatus. Its structure was established by the extensive spectroscopic analyses, and its cytotoxicities against P388, HL-60, and PC-3 cell lines were measured in vitro.
