Objective To determine the effects of acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with deliberate hypotension induced by sodium nitroprusside on glomerular filtration rate. Methods Forty rabbits weighing 2.6-4.0kg were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine(1mg?kg-1). The animals were tracheotomized and intubated.Anesthesia was maintained with 0.5% halothane inhalation and fentanyl infusion (2?g?kg-1?min-1 ) . Carotid artery was cannulated for blood pressure monitoring and blood gas analysis and external jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring and blood sampling. The animals were randomly allocated to one of four groups of ten animals in each group: control group; deliberate hypotension group;hemodilution group and combined hemodilution-deliberate hypotension group. Deliberate hypotension was induced with 0.02% sodium nitroprusside and MAP was reduced to 35-40mm Hg. In hemodilution group and combined group blood was removed from artery until Hct was reduced to 20 % -25 % and normovolemia was maintained by simultaneous infusion of Ringer's lactate solution, 3 times the volume of blood removed. Glomerular filtration rate was assessed by inulin clearance rate. 1% inulin 3 ml was injected I. V. over 30 s and blood samples were taken from CVP line for determination of blood inulin concentration at 1,3,5, 10, 30, 60, and 100 min after injection of inulin. Results Urine output decreased significantly in hypotension group and increased in hemodilution group. There was no significantly difference in urine output between control and combined groups. Inulin clearance decreased significantly in hypotension group as compared with that in control group, but there was no significantly difference in inulin clearance between control and combined groups. Conclusions Deliberate hypotension can decrease renal blood flow and deliberate hypotension combined with hemodilution can maintain kidney microcirculation.

Objective To investigate the effects of autoantibodies (β1-AA) against second extra-cellular loop of the β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR-ECⅡ) in sera of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) on proliferation of rat CD4+T lymphocytes.Methods β1-AA in the sera of patients with DCM was purified by affinity chromatography .CD4+T lymphocytes were isolated by immunomagnetic microbeads from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats and its positive rate was detected by flow cytometry .CCK-8 meth-od was used to detect the proliferation of CD 4+T lymphocytes and flow cytometry was performed to measure the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Results The purity of isolated rat CD 4+T lymphocytes by immu-nomagnetic microbeads reached 97.7%.The proliferation of CD4+T lymphocytes stimulated by CD3/CD28 was inhibited by β1-AA in a concentration-dependent manner .However , IgG antibodies extracted from sera of healthy controls did not suppress lymphocyte proliferation (P>0.05).The suppression effect of β1-AA was inhibited after binding to antigenic peptides corresponding to β1-AR-ECⅡ and was completely blocked by metoprolol, a specific antagonist of β1-adrenergic receptor (β1-AR).In addition,β1-AA had no effects on the ratio of CD4+/CD8+T lymphocyte .Conclusion β1-AA isolated from DCM patients suppresses the pro-liferation of CD4+T lymphocytes through β1-AR pathway , which indicates that β1-AA can directly reduce the number of T lymphocytes and impair the function of T lymphocytes , resulting in immune system disorders and the development of DCM .

Background and purpose: The metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) is highly expressed in different cancers and has an effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of tumor cells through the regulation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 pathway. However, the role of MACC1 in ovarian cancer has been rarely studied. The study was aimed to suppress MACC1 gene expression by siRNA and explore the relationship between MACC1 expression and chemosensitivity to cisplatin in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP. Methods:Empty plasmid p-super-EGFP-1 (negative control group) and p-super-EGFP-MACC1 shRNA (experimental group) were transfected into ovarian cancer cell SKOV3/DDP respectively. SKOV3/DDP cells without transfection were used as blank group. Then, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. Cell proliferation and IC50 of cisplatin was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium test (MTT). Apoptosis rate was determined by lfow cytometer (FCM). ERK1/2 and p-ERK1/2 protein levels were determined by Western blot. Results:Compared with those in blank and negative control groups, MACC1 mRNA and protein levels deceased in experimental group. The IC50 of cisplatin in experimental group was lower than that in the other groups (26.094 vs 47.501/47.089μmol/L, P<0.05). There was a lower expression of p-ERK1/2 in experimental group (0.3979 vs 00.6712/0.6681, P<0.05). Apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the experimental group before and after treatment of cisplatin (1.32%vs 0.66%/0.48%, P<0.05;36.70%vs 18.53%/16.60%, P=0.000). Conclusion:MACC1 gene may be involved in cisplatin resistance phenomenon in SKOV3/DDP cells through ERK1/2 pathway.

BACKGROUND: Both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin transfer their signals into cells by two primary signal transduction pathways,including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway.But they have different physiological functions.OBJECTIVE: To comparatively assay the dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes between EGF and insulin signal transductions in mouse hepatocytes and find key signal proteins.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: Randomized grouping controlled observation experiment was performed in the laboratory of Molecular Biology,Luzhou Medical College between July 2005 and April 2006.MATERIALS: Hepatocytes were from Kunming mice of closed population.METHODS: The primarily cultured mouse hepatocytes were labeled with 32p isotope and then randomly divided into three groups: control,EGF-stimulated (received 10 μg/L EGF),and insulin-stimulated (received 100 nmol/L insulin) groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After mouse hepatocytes were treated with EGF and insulin for 0,5,20,60 and 120 minutes,the dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes(I.e,phosphorylated level) between EGF and insulin signal transductions were comparatively analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis method.RESULTS: The categories of all phosphorylated proteins between EGF and insulin-stimulated phosphoproteomes had no apparent difference.The dynamic behaviors of phosphoproteomes of most proteins during EGF signal transduction are parallel with those during insulin stimulation,except the dynamic behaviors of 4 proteins are different significantly.CONCLUSION: Aforementioned 4 phosphorylated proteins were most probably the key members that could distinguish between two signal transduction pathways ornetworks,and determined their major physiological functions respectively.
