Objective To analyse the effects of OPG (osteoprotegerin, OPG) at different concentrations on activity of osteoclasts (osteoclasts, OC) , and the relationship between them in physiological activity and function.Methods The bone marrow cells of six weeks old female mice were collected and cultured in vitro on the basis of adding different levels of OPG(10, 20, 50, 100 μg/L).The relationship between OPG and OC were analysed by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase ( TRAP) staining, F-actin cytoskeleton staining and bone resorption pits.Results OC showed adherent growth within 1h cultured, and there were no large multicore OC.Cultured for 5 days, the smaller monocytes gradually began to fusion with each other to form multinucleated cells and showed distinctive characteristics.After three days OPG treatment, the number of multicore cells gradually reduced with OPG concentration increaseing in experimental group, and showing a negative correlation between them(r=-0.516,P<0.05).And there were only a small amount of multinucleated cells at OPG concentration of 50 μg/L.At 20,50 μg/L of OPG concentration, OC number significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.05), and when the concentration of OPG was 100μg/L, OC number showed significant reduction (P<0 01).the experimental group OPG bone resorption lacunae area, density and decrease the degree were positively correlated with concentration of OPG (r=0.459;r=0.426;r=0.389,P<0.05), and the area had a significant difference when two groups compared.Conclusion The inhibitive effects of OPG on OC function and activation increase with concentration increasing.

Objective To provide the experimental evidence for clinical application of taurine,rat model of intrauterine growth restriction (FGR) was made to investigate influence of prenatal administration of taurine on neurogenesis.Methods Fifteen pregnant rats were divided into control,FGR model and taurine groups,5 rats for each group.Rats in the control group were supplied with unlimited food and drink while the other two groups were fed by 40％ food intake of the control group throughout pregnancy.Since gestational day 12,taurine (100 mg/kg) was added into diet of taurine group every day until term delivery.Brain tissues were obtained immediately after baby rats were born.Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA),neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) of brain tissue was measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry; meanwhile,numbers of PCNA-immunoreactive cells in subventricular zone,subgranular zone and cerebral cortex were compared with ANOVA test or q test.Results Levels of PCNA mRNA and GFAP mRNA expression in FGR group were significantly higher than those of control group (PCNA mRNA:1.002±0.011 vs 0.894 ± 0.040,P＜0.01; GFAP-mRNA:1.012±0.013 vs 0.913±0.012,P＜0.01).Compared to FGR model group,mRNA expressions of PCNA and GFAP in taurine groups were higher (1.090±0.029,P＜0.01 ; 1.034±0.011,P＞0.05).There was a significant decrease in the expression of NSE mRNA in FGR group compared with control group (0.796±0.036 vs 1.582±0.057,P＜0.01),while the expression in taurine group (0.933±0.027) was significantly higher than that in FGR model group (P ＜ 0.01).PCNA immunoreactive cells were mostly distributed in subventricular zone,followed by subgranular zone and cerebral cortex.Conclusions Prenatal application of taurine could enhance neurogenesis of FGR newborn rats and improve survival of neurons to ameliorate FGR brain damage.

Due to substantial morbidity and high complications, diabetes mellitus is considered as the third "killer" in the world. Medicinal fungal polysaccharides, as water-soluble macromolecular substances with low toxicity, exhibit diversified pharmacological actions such as immune regulation, anti-tumor, antivirus, antioxidant, anti-aging, hypoglycemic effect and improving liver and kidney function. In recent year, a number of investigators reported medicinal fungal polysaccharides showed good anti-diabetes and hypoglycemic activity, and their acting mechanisms involved in glycometabolism and β cell function, e. g. promoting glycogen synthesis, promoting glycolysis, inhibiting the activity of α-glucosidase, promoting insulin secretion, increasing insulin sensitivity, enhancing antioxidation. Therefore, the hypoglycemic activity and its mechanisms of action of medicinal fungal polysaccharides showed characteristics of multiple effects, multi-target, and multi-pathway regulation. These finding suggest that medicinal fungal polysaccharides are a promising source for the development of discovery of anti-diabetic agent.

OBJECTIVE:Taking metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets as an example,to explore the value of speckle tracking imaging in therapeutic efficacy evaluation of CHF drugs. METHODS:68 CHF patients who had never underwent regular treatment were given Metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets and anti-heart failure agents for 3 months. NYHA classification, resting heart rate(RHR),6 min walk distance(6MWD)and conventional echocardiographic measurements were tested before and 1 and 3 months after treatment. Dynamic image were collected in the apical 2-chamber view,apical 4-chamber view and left ven-tricular long axis plane for speckle tracking imaging offline analysis. The left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) were measured. After 3 months of treatment,CHF patients were divided into standard group(group A,RHR 55-60 times/min)and non-standard group (group B,RHR>60 times/min) according to resting heart rate. The improvement of above indicators were com-pared between 2 groups,and that of LVGLS was also compared. RESULTS:After 1 month of treatment,RHR,LVEDd,LVEF and LVGLS of group A were improved significantly,compared with group B,with statistical significance (P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment,there was statistical significance in above indicators between 2 groups(P<0.05). In group A,RHR,6MWD and LVGLS improved significantly after 1 month of treatment,there was statistical significance,compared with before treatment (P<0.05);there was statistical significance in above indicators after 3 months of treatment,compared with before treatment and after 1 month of treatment (P<0.05). In group B,RHR and 6MWD improved significantly after one month of treatment;there was statistical significance,compared with before treatment(P<0.05);there was statistical significance in significant improvement of each indicator between after 3 months of treatment and before treatment (P<0.05);only there were statistical significance in RHR and NYHA grading,compared with after one month of treatment(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Speckle tracking imaging can early reflect the left ventricular function improvement of CHF patients after anti-heart failure treatment,especially in patients with RHR control standard earlier and more significant. Speckle tracking had good clinical application value in the follow-up treatment of heart failure as routine evaluation index.
