At the concentrations of 10-8mol/L, 5.5?l0-8mol/L, 10-7mol/L morphine produced a dose-dependent increase of beating rate in cultured rat heart cells with 9%,32%and 81% respectively. The increase was antagonized by opiate antagonist naloxone ( 10-5mol/L ) , but not affected by propranolol ( 10-5mol/L ) which could cancel the positive chronotropy of isoprenaline ( 10-9mol/L ) on the beating cells. The results support the concept that morphine may be a direct effect on myocadium, perhaps through opiate receptors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the D8/17 antigen expression of patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) in Guangdong province and study the antigen's characteristics.Methods The level of D8/17 antigen expression on B lymphocytes was determined with flow cytometry assay in 96 RHD patients and 83 unaffected controls.The percentage of B-cells expressing the D8/17 antigen having more than 10% was considered to be positive. D8/17 antigen was extracted by immunopreeipitation,and the antigen characteristics was analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. Results The mean percentage of B-cells expressing the D8/17 antigen was (85.36 ± 15.15)% in the RHD patients and (82.89 ±4.55)% in the controls,with no significant difference between the two groups ( P =0.436).Moreover,the positive rate of the D8/17 cxprcssion was 100% in either the RHD patients or the controls.The molecular weight of D8/17 antigen was found to be 40 000-67 000,and the purified protein was most likely to match moesin or β-actin.ConclusionsB-cell antigen D8/17 is not associated with RHD in Guangdong province of China.Moesin or β-actin is the most likely protein to match D8/17 antigen.

ObjectiveTo investigate the fusion sequence complexity of EML4-ALK in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients,and the potential mutation in tyrosine kinase ( TK ) domain of ALK gene.MethodsIn routine practice,a novel echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like4 and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) V3c variant was detected by rapid amplification of cDNA ends-polymerase chain reaction ( RACE-PCR )-sequencing technology in a patient with NSCLC.The further consecutive 39 cases( total of 40 cases)were screened by use of reverse transcription (RT)-PCR for EML4-ALK fusion.Positive PCR products were purified and cloned into T vectors,transformed into DH5a germ cells and colony picked up and sequenced for sequence complexity analysis.Tyrosine kinase domain of ALK was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced.ResultsThree out of 40 cases had EML4-ALK fusion.One case had six novel variants of EML4-ALK co-existing,termed as V3c ( 64.6% ),V3d ( 25.0% ),V3e ( 2.1% ),V3f (4.2% ),V3g(2.1% )and V3h(2.1% ) variants,whereas without common V3a and V3b variants.In other two positive cases,one was V1 variant,another was concurrent V2,V3a and V3b variants.No mutations were detected in the TK domain of EML4-ALK in any case.ConclusionsSeveral EML-ALK variants could co-exist in a given lung cancer tissue,which suggest that the diversity and sequence complexity of EML4-ALK fusion are exist.Attentions should be paid to screen all the variants in clinic to improve the pick-up rate.

BACKGROUND:At present,there are some limitations in evaluating the severity of acute spinal cord injury,and a rapid and accurate evaluation method is urgently needed. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between the expression levels of serum oxidative stress and nerve injury indexes and the severity of the disease in patients with acute spinal cord injury. METHODS:A total of 65 patients were included in the study from August 2020 to May 2022,including 32 patients in the experimental group(acute spinal cord injury)and 33 patients in the control group(simple spinal fracture).American Spinal Injury Association(ASIA)Impairment Scale and neurological function score were evaluated within 8 hours of admission.Meanwhile,serum levels of superoxide dismutase,malondialdehyde,glutathione,nitric oxide,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase were detected and compared between the two groups.The correlation between the expression levels of the above serological indicators in serum and ASIA impairment grade and AISA neural function score was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average serum levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.001),while the average serum levels of malondialdehyde,nitric oxide,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase in the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(P<0.01).The serum levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione in the experimental group were positively correlated with the damage grade of AISA(r=0.862 4,0.849 3,P<0.01),while the serum levels of malondialdehyde,nitric oxide,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase were negatively correlated with the damage grade of AISA(r=-0.866 1,-0.638 1,-0.746 6,P<0.001),and the serum level of nitric oxide was not significantly correlated with the damage grade of AISA(r=-0.177 5,P>0.05).The serum level of glutathione in the experimental group was positively correlated with AISA sensory function scores(r=0.569 9,P<0.001),while the serum levels of malondialdehyde,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase were negatively correlated with AISA sensory function scores(r=-0.574 1,-0.099 2,-0.708 6,P<0.05),and the serum levels of superoxide dismutase and nitric oxide were not significantly correlated with AISA sensory function scores(r=0.230 8,-0.376 2,P>0.05).The serum levels of superoxide dismutase and glutathione in the experimental group were positively correlated with ASIA motor function scores(r=0.380,0.524 7,P<0.05);the serum levels of malondialdehyde,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase were negatively correlated with AISA motor function scores(r=-0.577 9,-0.452 2,-0.662 8,P<0.05);and the level of nitric oxide had no significant correlation with AISA motor function scores(r=-0.049 7,P>0.05).To conclude,the serum levels of superoxide dismutase,malondialdehyde,glutathione,nitric oxide,glial fibrillary acidic protein and neuron-specific enolase in serum of patients with acute spinal cord injury are significantly correlated with ASIA impairment grade and ASIA neural function score,which could be used as biomarkers for early clinical assessment of disease severity.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the prevention and treatment of transplant vein graft disease. Methods The 25 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups: an experimental group [n=8, the rabbit jugular veins transfected with adeno-associated virus vector tipe 2/1 containing CGRP gene (AAV2/1-CGRP)], a carrier group [n=9, transfected with mosaic adeno-associated virus vector tipe 2/1 containing LacZ gene (AAV2/1-LacZ)] and a control group (n=8, saline) and then the cervical veins were implantated into the ipsilateral carotid artery by reverse end-side anastomosis. At 4 weeks after surgery, the pathology of the specimens, CD68 immunohistochemistry, in situ β-galactosidase staining were obtained. The expression of CGRP gene was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP- 1), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). Results The CGRP and LacZ gene expression was positive at postoperative 4 weeks. The intima/media ratio was significantly inhibited in the experimental group. Macrophage infiltration and expression of inflammatory mediators including MCP-1, TNF-α, iNOS and MMP-9 were also significantly inhibited in the experimental group. Conclusion Transfection of AAV2/1-CGRP inhibits inflammatory mediator expression, macrophage infiltration and neointimal hyperplasia in experimental vein graft disease.
