Objective To explore the roles and possible mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR) in cell cardiac hypertrophy model using angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ).Methods The cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes were treated with Ang Ⅱ as cell cardiac hypertrophy model.Hypertrophic neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with GdCl3(a specific agonist of CaSR) and/or with Ro318220(a specific inhibitor of PKC pathway).To evaluate the status of cardiac hypertrophy,cell diameter was observed by HE dyeing,and protein content was determined through coomassie brilliant blue protein kit.The intracellular calcium concentration( [ Ca2+]i) was determined by laser scanning confocal microscope.The protein expression of CaSR and PKC pathway were analyzed using Western blotting.Results ①Compared to the control group(0.1263 ± 0.0443),the protein expression of CaSR was increased in Ang Ⅱ group and in GdCl3 group(0.1963 ± 0.0375,0.2778 ± 0.0564,all P< 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ alone,the increase was significant in GdCl3 group(P < 0.05).②Compared to control group(222.70 ± 22.09),AngⅡ group(392.16 ± 36.85) remarkably increased [Ca2+]i(P< 0.05),and this increase of [Ca2+]i was further enhanced in GdCl3 group (502.60 ± 44.21) versus Ang Ⅱ group (P < 0.05).③Compared to control group,Ang Ⅱ could induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,and GdCl3 enhanced the effect.Moreover,this enhancement was attenuated by Ro318220.④Compared to control group(0.27 ± 0.07,0.69 ± 0.06,0.87 ± 0.04),the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε and PKCδ was increased in Ang Ⅱ group(0.60 ± 0.16,1.02 ± 0.13,1.20 ± 0.18,all P< 0.05) and the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was increased in GdCl3 group(0.82 ± 0.16,1.34 ± 0.12,all P < 0.05).Moreover,compared with Ang Ⅱ group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε was obviously increased in GdCl3 group (all P < 0.05);compared with GdCl3 group,the protein expression of PKCα,PKCε(0.41 ± 0.10,0.85 ± 0.14) was obviously decreased in Ro318220 group(all P < 0.05).Conclusions CaSR is involved in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ through PKC pathway in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes.

Objective To explore the expression and the role of Toll-like receptor(TLR3 and TLR4) in rats with nephrotic syndrome induced by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV).Methods SD rats were inoculated intranasally and intraperitoneally with 6?106 plaque for-ming unit(PFU) RSV to construct RSV-induced nephropathy in rat model.Rats were anesthetized and blood was withdrawn from cardiac on day 4,14,30,60 after inoculation.The normal ones without intervention were set as control group.The renal histology was observed by light microscope and electron microscope.The urinary protein collected in 24 hours were measured.Meanwhile,the expressions of TLR3 and TLR4 were detected by indirect immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of rats.The results were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 softwore.Results After inoculation,the proteinuria increased and under the electron microscope the foot processes of glomerular epithelial cells were fused which resembled human minimal change nephrotic syndrome.Proteinuria reached the peak and the fusion of foot processes were most extensive in rats of RSV at 60 d.The expressions of TLR3 and TLR4 in each group of RSV-induced nephropathy in rat models were significantly higher than those in normal control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions TLR3 and TLR4 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of RSV-induced nephropathy rat mo-dels had being significantly activated until 60 d after RSV inoculation.TLR signaling pathway may play an important role in nephrotic syndrome of rats induced by RSV.

This investigation was made on 30 adult female rats weighing approximately 150~200g. during estrus as judged from vaginal smear examination. Ovaries which investigated with electron microscope, were fixed in 3% glutaraldehyde. Other ovaries were embeded in paraffin and examined under light microscope.Theca folliculi of large antral follicles were examined with electron microscope. Three kinds of theca cells were distinguished. They were secretory cell, fibroblast and smooth muscle cell. The secretory cell showed the characterastics of the steroidproducing cell, having smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and lipid droplets. The fibroblast contained rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes and mitochondria in the cytoplasm. The smooth muscle cell was located in the outer layer of theca folliculi, and its structural features were typical according to the criteria of Somlyo and Somlyo: (1) pinocytotic vesicles of the cytoplasmic membranes; (2) myofilaments in the cytoplasm; (3) dense bodies intimately related to the myofilaments; and (4) location of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum at the nuclear poles.The ultrastructure of smooth muscle cell, its differentiation and other problems were discussed.

Objective:To investigate the relation among platelet activation marker(GPⅡb/Ⅲa,CD62p) and amounts of fibrinogen (FG) and of D-dimer (DD) in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation.Methods:Subjects were divided into four groups (42 elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation,42 elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale remission stage,30cases of healthy elderly controls and 30 cases of healthy non-elderly controls).Positive rates of GPⅡb/Ⅲa and CD62p were measured with tricolor flow cytometry.We also determined FG and DD in patients with chronic cor pulmonale and in normal controls.Results:Compared with those of chronic cor pulmonale remission stage group,healthy elderly group and healthy non-elderly group,the levels of GPⅡb/Ⅲa,CD62p,FG and DD increased significantly in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation (all P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between the amount of GPⅡb/Ⅲa or CD62p and the amount of FG and DD in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation.Conclusion:There is increased coagulation and platelet activity in elderly patients with chronic cor pulmonale exacerbation,and there is a significant correlation between platelet activity and hypercoagulability.

AIM To investigate the transdermal delivery effects of cyclosporine A solubilized in mixed micelles composed of phospholipid and different surfactants. METHODS When applied onto the excised abdominal skin of the mice occlusively, the enhancing effects of various mixed micelles on the penetration of cyclosporin A were assessed by an in vitro permeation technique. In vivo study was carried out by topical application of sodium cholate-phospholipid mixed micelles onto the mice skin and drug blood concentration was detected. RESULTS In vitro, mixed micelles containing different surfactants displayed distinct permeability and corresponded to the following order: sodium cholate > sodium deoxycholate > Trition X-100 > Tween-20. In vivo, peak drug concentration was detected at 5 h and after that the concentration fell down slowly. CONCLUSION Mixed micelles were shown to be efficient carrier for the transdermal delivery of the lipophilic polypeptide when kept in solution during the application process.

Objective To detect the expression of DNA damage response genes induced by radiation in human peripheral blood lymphocyte,and to explore the new biomarkers of radiation.Methods The human peripheral blood cells were irradiated to X-rays at different doses of 0,1,2,3,4,and 5 Gy.The quantitative real.time qPCR wag used to detect the expressions of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor l a gene(Cdknl a)and growth arrest and DNA damage inducible gene(Gadd45a)in lymphoeytes at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation,respectively.The method of CB mieronucleus was used to determine the change of micronucleus ratio.Results The expression of Cdknl a in peripheral blood lymphocytes wag increased significantly at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation to 0-5 Gy.reached the peak at 4 Gy and began to decrease at 5 Gy,which showed a dose-dependent manner(r=0.946,0.975,P<0.05).Similarly,the expression of Gadd45α in human peripheral blood lymphocytes was also increased significantly at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation to 0-5 Gy in a dose-dependent manner,while the expression of Gadd45a at 4 h wag higher than that at 24 h(r=0.936,0.797,P<0.05).The ratio of micronuclei wag increased significantly at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation to 0-5 Gy(r=0.990,0.984,P<0.05).Conciusions Cdknl a and Gadd45α expression could be increaged significandy at 4 and 24 h post-irradiation to 0-5 Gy,showing a good linear relationship.which might be candidate for radiation biological dosimeter.
