Objective To study the effects of norepinephrine (NE) on intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cardiac myocytes and receptor pathways involved in ROS production. Methods DCFHDA fluorescent probe was used for the assessment of NE induced intracellular ROS production in cultured cardiac myocytes of the neonatal rats. Myocytes were exposed to NE, NE + prazosin, NE + propranolol, and NE + prazosin + propranolol at different time and doses. The changes of fluorescence intensity in cells were measured by flow cytometry. Results NE increased myocyte ROS production in time and dose dependent manners. NE induced ROS production was partially inhibited by prazosin or propranolol, and completely inhibited by prazosin and propranolol together in myocytes. Conclusion NE can induce intracellular ROS production in cultured cardiac myocytes of the neonatal rats in time and dose dependent manners through the mediation of both ? and ? adrenoceptors.

To investigate the suitable site environment for Atractylodes lancea, field trials in different niches was carried out, and the seedling growth, biomass and volatile oil components in different microhabitas was studied. The study found that the survival rate, plant height, volatile oil content of those which growing under the bamboo were significantly higher than those exposed in the open field. The survival rate understory was (76 ± 15.1) %, plant height understory was (77 ± 14. 8) cm and the summation of the four kinds of volatile oil content understory reached up to 4.09%; The same evaluation values of these indicators of the four faces in the open field respectively: survival rate is 30%, plant height was (77 ± 14.8) cm and the summation of the four kinds of volatile oil content was 2.24%. But, the yield of the understory (41 ± 22.3) g was significantly lower than those four faces in the open field (104.5 g) on the contrary. For the four open field towards, the yield of the east facing, which organic matter and other nutritional conditions were better than others, was significantly higher than those in the other facings. A. lancea was found to be an anti-poor and shading-like or growing in east facing slope herb through the correlation analysis of light, temperature, soil and leaf nutrients with seedling growth, biomass and volatile oil components. It also reminds us that the understory herb with high survival rate, low incidence, low management costs, and high medicinal ingredients, although it's production is not so high, but it can be improved by increased organic fertilizer. So the ecological planting patterns which can intercropping herbs with the forest was proposed.

A region of the D17S30(pYNZ22) locus was amplified in DNA from 120 unrelated chinese individuals was carried out. The amplified products were analysed by mini-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by silver stain. 11 alleles, ranging from 170bp to 870bp in size and from 0. 4 % to 30. 4 % in frequency, was detected. The heterozygosity was 73%, Dp value was 0.938. The family study showed that the Amp-FLP in pYNZ22 locus is inherited according to the Mendelian law. The correct genotyping results can be obtained from very little amount of biological material, such as mixed stains, blood stains, single hair and saliva.

With more and more attention and investment on acupuncture scientific researches, considerable outcomes and achievements has been acquired, but the shortcoming of low transformation rate of acupuncture research achievements is gradually exposed. Nowadays there is no related report on this problem, so based on achievement translational research in other areas and practical situation of acupuncture, the existing problems and solutions are analyzed. As a result, the existing problems include (1) the research content is mainly basic research and clinical research but less acupuncture device research, leading to limited transformation efficiency; (2) the evaluation system and transformation pattern are still needed to be perfect. The solutions are (1) to properly evaluate the research achievements of acupuncture, (2) to advocate the concept and method of translational medicine, (3) to reform the policy and system, and (4) to establish valid platforms covering research, outcomes and transformation.

BACKGROUND:Atorvastatin has been shown to reduce bone loss and fracture, but its effects on implant osseointegration remain unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of atorvastatin on implant osseointegration in osteoporotic rats and the underlying mechanisms.
METHODS:Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into sham-surgery, ovariectomy, and atorvastatin (10 and 20 mg/kg per day) treatment groups, respectively. Al rats received ovariectomy and implant surgery except those in the sham-surgery group. Bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebra, osseointegration ratio and pul-out strength of implants were measured after 12-week treatment.Levels of bone formation and resorption markers in osteoblasts treated with atorvastatin were determined by ELISA. Wnt pathway-relatedgene expression was detected by RT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone mineral density, osseointegration ratio and pul-out strength of implants were significantly increased in 20 mg/kg per day of atorvastatin treatment group compared with ovariectomy group (P< 0.05). Levels of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcinand osteoprotegerinwere significantly increased in osteoblasts treated with atorvastatinin vitro(P<0 .05), and the level of osteoclast differentiation factor RANKL was significantly inhibited (P< 0.05). Meanwhile, atorvastatin significantly promoted the mRNA expression of low-density lipoprotein associated protein 5and β-catenin, and inhibited the mRNA expression of dickkopfWnt signal pathway inhibitor 1and sclerostin. Our results suggest that atorvastatin promotes implant osseointegration in osteoporotic rats by activating Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

Background:Hydrotalcite has been used in the treatment of gastric ulcer,but its mechanism is not clear. Aims:To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of hydrotalcite on experimental gastric ulcer in rats. Methods:Experimental acetic acid-induced gastric ulcer model was established in rats. Model rats were randomly assigned into control group,low and high dose hydrotalcite groups,and 0. 9% NaCl solution,880 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 ,1 230 mg·kg - 1 ·d - 1 hydrotalcite were intragastrically administrated,respectively. After 14 days,macroscopic examination was performed;and HE staining, CD31 staining and VG staining were used to evaluate the histological maturity,AB-PAS staining,level of hexosamine, immunohistochemical staining,serum levels of epidermal growth factor( EGF),prostaglandin E2( PGE2 )were used to evaluate the functional maturity. Results:Compared with control group,ulcer index(UI)was significantly decreased in high dose hydrotalcite group(P < 0. 05). Thickness of restored mucosa was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),number of cystically dilated gland was significantly decreased(P < 0. 01),microvessel density(MVD),collagen fiber,secretion of mucus,level of hexosamine,expressions of EGF,EGR receptor(EGFR)and PGE2 ,serum levels of EGF and PGE2 were significantly increased in low and high hydrotalcite groups( P < 0. 05,P < 0. 01). Conclusions:Hydrotalcite could obviously improve the histological and functional maturity of regenerative mucosa,as well as the quality of ulcer healing. The mechanism might be related to the neutralization of gastric acid,enhancement of mucus-HCO3 - barrier and up-regulation of expressions of EGF and PGE2 .
