Objective: To study long time aerobic training effect on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in the myocardium and brain tissues of aged rats. Method: Forty-five rats were randomly divided into three groups Group A(n=15)younger rats did not received training; Group B (n=15) old rats did not received training; Group C (n=15) old rats received gradually training for 90 days. The mtDNA content were determined by methods of Yah erc, the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in myocardium and brain tissues were determined by methods of Wu etc. Result: The mitochondrial DNA content in myocardium and brain tissues significantly increased (P<0.01) and the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in myocardium and brain tissues significantly decreased (P<0.05-0.01) in the aging control group as compared with those in the young group. The mitochondrial DNA content in myocardium significantly decreased (P< 0.05), while there was no significant difference in brain. The activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in myocardium and brain tissues significantly incroased(P<0.05-0.01) in the aging training group as compared with those in the aging control group. Conclusion: the long time aerobic training could decline the mitochondrial DNA content and increase the activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes in myocardium and brain tissues in aging rats.

Objective To evaluate the injury of optic radiation after ischemic stroke with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods From September, 2014 to September, 2015, twenty-one ischemic stroke inpatients with visual field defects were tested with DTI, and measured the fractional anisotropy (FA) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of both sides in different time. The correlation of FA and ADC to visual field mean defect (MD) in the same time was analyzed. Results The FA of affected sides was lower than that of healthy sides twenty-four hours (t=2.38, P<0.05), one week (t=15.60, P<0.01) and four weeks (t=19.13, P<0.01) after stroke, and the ADC was also lower twenty-four hours (t=10.13, P<0.01) and one week (t=6.06, P<0.01) after stroke. The FA correlated with MD one (r=0.581, P<0.01) and four weeks (r=0.703, P<0.01) after stroke, and the ADC correlated with MD twenty-four hours after stroke (r=0.519, P<0.05). The FA of one (r=0.525, P<0.05) and four weeks (r=0.762, P<0.01) after stroke correlated with MD six months after stroke. Conclusion DTI can be used to evaluate the injury of optic radiation after ischemic stroke.

Objective:To prepare and identify monoclonal antibody specifically targeting epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and(or) epidermal growth factor receptor vⅢ(EGFRvⅢ),and to investigate its inhibitory effects on human hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7-EGFRvⅢ cell-and epidermal carcinoma A431 cell-implanted tumors in nude mice.Methods: BALB/c mice were immunized with 3T3 cells stably transfected with EGFRvⅢ(3T3-EGFRvⅢ).Immunized spleen cells were fused with myeloma SP2/0 cells,and anti-EGFRvⅢ monoclonal antibody positive hybridoma cells(named 9B9 antibody and 9B9 cells,respectively) were selected and identified by ELISA.The specific interaction between 9B9 antibody and EGFRvⅢ/EGFR antigen was detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence assay.Huh7-EGFRvⅢ cell-(human hepatocellular carcinoma Huh7 cells stably transfected with EGFRvⅢ) and epidermal cell carcinoma A431 cell-bearing mouse models were established and were divided into PBS group,Cetuximab group and 9B9 antibody group.Then,anti-tumor effect of 9B9 antibody was examined and compared with those of PBS and Cetuximab.Results: A monoclonal antibody,named 9B9 antibody,was obtained by hybridoma technique and it reacted with both EGFRvⅢ antigen and EGFR antigen as detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence.The inhibitory rates of Cetuximab and 9B9 antibody against Huh7-EGFRvⅢ cells-implanted tumors were 42% and 46%,respectively,and those against A431 cells-implanted tumors were 85% and 86%,respectively.Conclusion: 9B9 monoclonal antibody can effectively inhibit the growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell-and epidermal cell carcinoma cell-implanted tumors,and the effects resemble that of Cetuximab.

Objective To extract ?-glucosidase inhibitors from Potentilla anserina L. Methods Water-decocting method and water-decocting ethanol-precipitation were applied to obtain water extract,sodden ointment and polysaccharides of Potentilla anserina L. The colorimetry of pNPG was used for the determination of the activity of alpha-glucosidase pure enzyme and alpha-glucosidase from isolated small intestines of natural ICR mice. Results The extracts of Potentilla anserina L. had obvious inhibitory effect on the pure enzyme of ?-glucosidase. The water extract and sodden ointment also had inhibitory effect on ?-glucosidase from isolated small intestine in natural ICR mice,the effect being in a dose-dependant manner. Conclusion The extracts of Potentilla anserina L. have the inhibitor-like effect on ?-glucosidase,and the active position is probably in the sodden ointment.

Objective To explore any effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the proprioception and balance of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods Forty patients with KOA were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG),each of 20.The PNF techniques of isotonic combined contraction,and rhythmic stable and dynamic reversal were applied in the EG,while the CG received quadriceps muscle strength training.Knee proprioception was evaluated using knee angle reconstruction experiments,and balance ability was measured using the one leg standing test (OLS) and the five times sit to stand test (FTSST).Results The errors in active and passive knee angle reconstruction at 30°,60° and 110° all improved significantly in the EG,but not in the CG.After the treatment,the OLS and FTSST results improved significantly in the EG,but only the OLS results improved significantly in the CG,not the FTSST times.Even so,the average OLS time in the EG was significantly longer than that of the CG after the training.Conclusion Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation can improve the proprioception and balance of persons with knee osteoarthritis.

Objective To investigate the impact of overweight and obesity on left atrial (LA) function in healthy subjects with excess body weight.Methods Conventional echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging were performed in 30 obese subjects (BMI≥28 kg/m2),30 overweight subjects (BMI,24to 28 kg/m2) and 30 age-matched normal subjects (BMI<24kg/m2).Strain (S),peak systolic strain rate (SSR),peak early diastolic strain rate (ESR) and peak late diastolic strain rate (ASR) values were used to evaluating LA function.Results Compared with controls,mean S,SSR and ESR were decreased in obese subjects,while mean SSR,ESR and ASR were decreased in overweight subjects.Compared with overweight subjects,mean ESR was decreased in obese subjects.Conclusions An impaired LA function is found in overweight and obese subjects who has no other clinically appreciable cause of heart disease by using strain and SR imaging.

Objective To study the effect of matrine on ATP binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression and cholesterol in monocyte derived foam cells. Methods The lipid peroxide in cells was measured by TBARS method; The foam cells were examined by oil red O stain. The accumulation of cholesterol in monocyte was measured by fluorescence spectrophotometric method;ABCA1 mRNA and its protein level were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Results In the homonocytes incubated with PMA and low density lipoprotein (LDL), the intracellular accumulated total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol (FC), cholesteryl ester (CE) and lipid peroxide increased obviously, and a huge amount of foam cells were found by oil red O stain. This was accompanied by a reduction in the membrane content of ABCA1. matrine alter ABCA1 mRNA abundance, indicating that increased ABCA1 transcription, enhanced mRNA level.Conclusion The mechanism of anti-artherosclerosis by matrine may be related to reduce cholesterol and to increase the level of ABCA1 expression.
