OBJECTIVE:To study tanshinone ⅡA inhibiting the proliferation and migration induced by homocysteine(Hcy)of rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)and its signal pathway. METHODS:VSMCs were selected for the following ex-periments. In order to validate TanshinoneⅡA inhibiting the proliferation and migration induced by Hcy of VSMCs,VSMCs were di-vided into control group,Hcy group(1 000μmol/L),TanshinoneⅡA low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups(5,10,20 μg/L). In mechanism study test,VSMCs were divided into control group,TanshinoneⅡA group(20 μg/L),rapamycin group(20 nmol/L), MHY1485 group(10μmol/L),TanshinoneⅡA+rapamycin group(TanshinoneⅡA,20 μg/L+rapamycin,20 nmol/L),TanshinoneⅡA+MHY1485 group (TanshinoneⅡA,20 μg/L+MHY1485,10 μmol/L). In validation test of P70S6K and p-P70S6K pathway expres-sion,rapamycin and MHY1485 were used for inhibitory test and activation test,respectively. The proliferation of VSMCs was de-termined by ELIASA,and Transwell chambers and wound healing test were employed to test the migratory ability of VSMCs. West-ern blotting were used to investigate the expressions of P21,P27,MMP-2,MMP-9,P70S6K and p-P70S6K in VSMCs. RE-SULTS:In validation test,compared with control group,24,48 h absorbance,migration area,the number of VSMCs penetration and the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and p-P70S6K increased significantly,while the expression of P21 and P27 decreased sig-nificantly(P<0.01). Compared with Hcy group,48 h absorbance of TanshinoneⅡA low-dose group,24,48 h absorbance and the expression of MMP-2 of TanshinoneⅡA medium-dose and high-dose groups,migration area,the number of VSMCs penetration, the expression of MMP-9 and p-P70S6K in low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups all decreased significantly;the expres-sion of P21 and P27 increased significantly in TanshinoneⅡA medium-dose and high-dose groups(P<0.01);there was no statisti-rapamycin group,while 24,48 h absorbance increased significantly in MHY1485 group(P<0.01). Compared with TanshinoneⅡA group,24,48 h absorbance decreased significantly in TanshinoneⅡA+rapamycin group,while 12,24,48 h absorbance,migration area and the number of VSMCs penetration increased significantly in TanshinoneⅡA+MHY1485 group (P<0.01). In inhibitory test,compared with control group,the expression of p-P70S6K decreased significantly in TanshinoneⅡA group (P<0.01);com-pared with TanshinoneⅡA group,the expression of p-P70S6K decreased significantly in rapamycin group and TanshinoneⅡA+rapa-mycin group(P<0.01);in activation test,the expression of p-P70S6K decreased significantly in TanshinoneⅡA group(P<0.01), compared with TanshinoneⅡA group,the expression of p-P70S6K increased significantly in MHY1485,TanshinoneⅡA+MHY1485 group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:TanshinoneⅡA can inhibit the proliferation and migration of VSMCs by suppressing mTOR/P70S6K signal pathway.

Background Retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury is a common pathological process in ophthalmology.It can cause permanent visual impairment.The prevention and treatment of retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury is one of the focus topics at home and abroad up to now.Objective Present study was to evaluate the protective effects of geranylgeranylacetone(GGA)on retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury.Methods The retinal ischemia/reperfusion models were established in 40 SD rats by the infusion of normal saline solution into the anterior ehamber to elevate the intraoeular pressure for 1 hour and then remove the process.GGA of 2 ml (800 ms/kg)was intragastrieally administered in 20 model rats as GGA group,and the equal volume of normal saline solution was used at the same way in other 20 models as model group.Four normal matched SD rats were served as normal control group.The histological changes of retina in 6,24,48,72 hours after modeling was examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining under the light microscope.and the expression of heat shock protein 70(HSP70)and caspase-3 in retina at the time points mentioned above was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The edema of cornea and retina of rats appeared in 1 hour and peaked in 24 hours after modeling.In 72 hours after modeling,the edema was alleviated but the disorder of retina structure was found in model group.However,although the pathological change process was similar to that of model group,the damage of retina tissue was milder in the rats of GGA group under the light microscope.HSP70 and caspase-3 were absent in the retina of normal rats.But。The expression of HSP70 in retinal ganglion cells(RGCs)was found in 6 hours after modeling,reached peak in 24 hours and declined after that in model group.The numbers of positive cells for HSP70 in retina was significantly increased in various time points in GGA group,showing statistically significant differences between model group and GGA group(P<0.05).In model group,a few of caspase-3 positive cells were found 6 hours after reperfusion and increased gradually until reaching the peak 24 hours and then decreased gradually 48 hours later.Few caspase-3 positive cells were found 72 hour8 after reperfusion.The numbers of positive cells for caspase-3 decreased in GGA group compared with model group during the experimental duration with the considerable difference between these two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion GGA could protect RGCs against isehemia/reperfusion injury by upregulating the expression of HSP70 and downregulating the expression of caspase-3 in retina.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of digestive system dysfunctions after cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods The clinical data of 2349 consecutive cases undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB from Jan 1996 to Dec 2002 were retrospectively reviewed. The risk factors, clinical features, diagnostic methods, treatment and prognosis of digestive system dysfuctions were summarized. Results The incidence of digestive system dysfunctions was 1.4% (n=33), and the most common events were paralytic ileus (33.3%, n=11) and gastrointestinal bleeding (27.3%, n=9). Liver function insufficiency and ischemic bowel disease were the most common causes of deaths. 26(78.8%) patients underwent medicine treatment, 7(21.2%) patients accepted surgical interventions, and 5 patients (15.2%) died. Conclusion Digestive system dysfunctions following cardiovascular surgery were uncommon but had a high mortality. Advanced ages, history of gastrointestinal disease and perioperative hemodynamic unstability may be the clinical risk factors of digestive system dysfuctions. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for the outcome of the patients.
