OBJECTIVETo observe the hypotensive effects of Qindan Capsule (QC) on spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) and its effect on the contents of endothelin (ET), calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and angiotensin-II (Ang-II ) in plasma and vascular tissues, and to investigate the possible mechanism of QC in lowering blood pressure.

METHODSForty SHRs were divided into 5 groups: the high dosage QC group [QCHD, 750 mg/(kgxd)], the low dosage QC group [QCLD, 150 mg/(kgxd) ], the Niuhuang Jiangya Pill group [NJP, 200 mg/(kgxd) ], the Captopril group [ 15 mg/(kg d) land the model group, 8 in each group. Meanwhile, a normal control group consisting of 8 Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats was set up also. All the rats were administered with medicine through gastrogavage. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), level of ET, CGRP and Ang-II in plasma and Ang-II in tissues of mesenteric artery were detected in all the rats after 12 weeks of treatment.

RESULTSThe level of SBP after treatment in the QCHD group was lower than that in the model group (P<0.01), but with no significant difference as compared with that in the Captopril group and the NJP group (P>0.05). After treatment, the plasma level of ET was lower and CGRP higher than those in the model group (both P<0.05), and also higher than those in the NJP and Captopril group (both P<0.05). As for the content of Ang-II , in mesenteric arterial tissues, it was lower in the QCHD group than that in the model group ( P<0.05), but in plasma, it showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONQC has a satisfactory hypotensive action on SHR rats, and its mechanism may be associated with the regulation on plasma vasoactive peptide and regional renin-angiotensin system.

Aim To construct a eukaryotic expression vector of human MCHR2 and to analyze the stable expression and signal transduction pathways of MCHR2 in CHO cells. Methods The full-length MCHR2 cDNA fragment was amplified by PCR from the human fetal brain cDNA library and inserted into eukaryotic expres-sion vector pcDNA3.1(+), resulted in the recombinant expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by the restriction enzymatic digestion and DNA sequencing analysis, and then transfected into CHO cells by lipofectamine. A stably-transfected cell line was obtained by the dominant G418 selection, and the expression of the MCHR2 gene on transcription and translation levels were identified by RT-PCR and Western blot. Signal transduction pathways mediated by MCHR2 were analyzed by measurement of intracellular cAMP and calcium. Results The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-MCHR2 was successfully constructed and the MCHR2 gene was stably transfected into CHO cells. A stably-transfected cell line was established and the MCHR2 gene was efficiently transcribed and translated. MCH stimulation had no effect on the production of cAMP, however, it could induce a clear and transient increase of intracellular calcium, suggesting that MCHR2 was only coupled to Gq protein. Conclusion The stable expression of MCHR2 and analysis of its signal transduction pathways in CHO cell line provided a solid experimental foundation for further studies on the function of the MCHR2 gene in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the significance of CT assessment for extraarticular anatomy in treatment of displaced intraarticular calcaneal fractures.Methods(1)Measurement of normal calcaneum 40 pieces of adult calcaneum specimen were measured,items of measurement included height of culmination of posterior facet and tuberosity,width of posterior edge of sustentaculum and tuberosity.(2)CT measurement of calcaneum.Transverse(axial)and coronal CT scanning were obtained from 20 feet with displaced intraarticular calcaneal and 20 normal feet as control.Following items were measured in CT scanning:the height of culmination of posterior facet and tuberosity,the coronal talocalcaneal angle,in coronal scanning,the width of posterior edge of sustentaculum and tuberosity,the axial calcaneocuboid angle,in axial scanning.Results(1)Measurement of height of calcaneum height of culmination of posterior facet and tuberosity of calcaneal specimen were(43.07?2.85)mm and(44.69?3.67)mm respectively,and these two items from CT scanning of normal feet were(42.84?1.66)mm,(43.40? 3.01)nun,and from CT scanning of feet with calcaneal fractures were(34.76?3.24)mm,(40.41? 3.69)mm.There was a statistically significant different between these two items for normal calcaneal specimen and for CT scanning of feet with ealcaneal fractures(P

Objective To explore the expression and mutual relationship between transforming growth factor-?(TGF-?) and hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) in children's renal tissues,as well as the effect of the 2 indexes on the renal pathological change.Methods According to the severity of renal pathological change under light microscope,61 cases were divided into 3 groups:named control group(26 cases,clinically diagnosed as thin basement membrane nephropathy),test group Ⅰ [22 cases,clinically diagnosed as less evident focal segmental glomerulosclerosi(FSGS) nephropathy] and test group Ⅱ(13 cases,clinically diagnosed as evident FSGS nephropathy).Immunity class test(SP method:streptavidinbiotin peroxidase method) was used to detect the representation of HGF and TGF-?.Semi-quantitative analysis had been carried out in all cases.Film reading of cell was viewed by Olympus microscope,brown yellow from cytoplase as the positive signal,10 high power microscope visions were randomly selected from renal glomerali area and 10 from renal interstitium area.Medical image analysis software was used to determine the masculine area of HGF or TGF-? and image intensity;then the immunity class index was defined as masculine area ? image intensity.Results 1.HGF and TGF-? existed in all renal tissues;2.Expressions of HGF and TGF-? increased obviously along with FSGS pathology alteration(Pa

Guanylate binding protein-1(GBP-1) is an interferon-induced protein. To observe its antiviral effect against Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3), we constructed an eukaryotic expression vector of human GBP-1(hGBP-1). Full-length encoding sequence of hGBP-1 was amplified by long chain RT-PCR and inserted into a pCR2.1 vector, then subcloned into a pCDNA3.1(-) vector. Recombinant hGBP-1 plasmids and pHBV1.3 carrying 1.3-fold genome of HBV were contransfected into HepG2 cells, and inhibition effect of hGBP-1 against HBV replication was observed. Hela cells transfected with recombinant hGBP-1 plasmids were challenged with CVB3, and viral yield in cultures were detected. The results indicated that recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid of hGBP-1 was constructed successfully and the hGBP-1 gene carried in this plasmid could be efficiently expressed in HepG2 cells and Hela cells. hGBP-1 inhibit CVB3 but not HBV replication in vitro. These results demonstrate that hGBP-1 mediates an antiviral effect against CVB3 but not HBV and perhaps plays an important role in the interferon-mediated antiviral response against CVB3.

To establish a replication cellular model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and determine its application in antiviral drug evaluation,we constructed an expression plasmid which contained 1.3 copies of the HBV genome,and measured the level of viral replication after transient transfection in Huh7 cells.We then observed the effect of antiviral drug administration.1.3 fold of the HBV(ayw) gene fragment was cloned into pCR2.1 by PCR and restriction endonuclease digestion.The recombinant plasmid was trans ient transfected into Huh7 cells,HBsAg,HBeAg and HBV DNA in supernatant of Huh7 cells were measured by ELISA and real-time PCR respectively; intracellular HBV replicative intermediates and intracellular HBV transcripts were detected by Southern blot and Northern blot respectively.The antiviral effect of adefovir,a novel anti-HBV nucleotide analogue,was evaluated in this cellular model system.The results indicated that a recombinant plasmid of HBV replicon was constructed successfully; the HBV genome carried in plasmid pHBV1.3 could efficiently replicate and be expressed in Huh 7 cells,adefovir could inhibit HBV replication in this cellular model,and the inhibition was dosage-dependent.The conclusion is HBV replicon,which can initiate viral replication efficiently in hepatoma cells,may be a useful tool in the study of HBV replication and antiviral drug.
