Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(1):33-36
Objective To investigate the expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in human peritoneum and its effect on peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients with the different peritoneal transport characteristics.Methods Peritoneal biopsies were obtained from the PD patients (n =30) at catheter insertion.Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to investigate AQP1 expression in peritoneal tissues.After catheter insertion,4 week,peritoneal equilibrium test (PET) was used to decide peritoneal transport characteristics.Results Western blot revealed a major band at 28 kDa band.The expression of AQP1 index was 1.49 ±0.67 in the normal subjects,and 1.61 ±0.76 in the PD patients,and there was no significant difference.Positive deposition was distributed in mesothelial cells,endothelial cells of capillaries,and small veins.The index of AQP1 expression in endothelial cells of capillaries in normal subjects and PD patients were 2.12 ±0.18,and 2.50 ±0.81,respectively,and no significant difference was found.The index of AQP1 expression in mesothelial cells of capillaries in normal subjects and PD patients were 1.95 ± 0.67,and 2.23 ± 1.07,respectively,and no significant difference was found.Among PD patients,the level of AQP1 was significantly different.Conclusions The expression of AQP1 was different in the PD patients with different peritoneal transport characteristics.In the high and high average transport groups,the level of AQP1 was lower; the low transport group was higher.It reveals that AQP1 plays a role in the pathogenesis of transcellular water transport.

G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) have a marked mediating effect on bodily immunoregulation. Recent years’ studies found that GPCRs plays an important role in the mechanism of the intervening effect of electroacupuncture on rheumatoid arthritis pain. Of them, adrenergic receptors, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, adenosine receptors, opioid peptide receptors, dopamine receptors and cannabinoid receptors separately mediate the effect of electroacupuncture on rheumatoid arthritis pain in the central and peripheral nervous systems and the inflammatory region. The exploration of the mechanism by which electroacupuncture increases GPCRs expression is our future research direction.

Objective To evaluate the diffuse characteristics of two types of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX and CBTX A) in the forehead and the effect of intradermal (ID) and subcutanous (SC) infections on their diffusion.Methods Healthy volunteers (n =20) were recruited to receive a 0.05 ml (2 U) injection of botulinum toxin type A at four forehead sites [both sides of medial forehead (SC) and temporal forehead (ID)],one side for BOTOX and another for CBTX-A.On day 14,the Minors' iodine starch test was performed and photographs were taken for calculating the area and dimensions of anhydrotic area.Results The areas of anhidrosis ID were significantly greater with CBTX-A (180±15) mm2 than that of BOTOX (144±14) mm2.The same conditions occurred in vertical dimensions (14.4±1.1) mm vs.(15.8±1.0) mm and horizontal dimensions (10.8±0.6) mm vs.(12.5±0.7) mm.There was significant variation between the both for diffuseness in the two anhidrotic halos observed after ID injection (P<0.05).The areas of anhidrosis by SC were significantly greater with CBTX-A (207±17) mm2 than that in BOTOX (183±18) mm2.The mean horizontal dimension was greater with CBTX-A by SC (13.2±0.6) mm than that of BOTOX by SC (12.2±0.7) mm,but not statistically significant (P =0.06).The mean horizontal dimension in BOTOX was significantly greater with SC than that with ID (P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between SC and ID administration of CBTX-A.Conclusions BOTOX diffuses less than CBTX-A.ID injection technique may result in less diffusion than SC.

Objective To compare the content variation of catalpol between single and mixed decocting Rehmanniae Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba; To preliminarily explore the variation rules of compatibility of Rehmanniae Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba. Methods HPLC method was used with Waters Symmetry C18 column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 5 μm), flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, detection wavelength of 210 nm, column temperature at 25 ℃. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.01% phosphoric acid in water isocratic elution system. Results Catalpol regression equation was Y=270 054X-57 724, r=0.999 6, showing good linear range among 0.225–7.2 μg. The average recovery rate was 101.15%, RSD=0.39%. The average content of catalpol in the mixed decoction of Rehmanniae Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba was 18.66%more than the single decoction of Rehmanniae Radix. Conclusion The content of catalpol in mixed decoction is higher than the single decoction of Rehmanniae Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba. The mixed decoction is favorable for the dissolving of catalpol from the medicine. The compatibility of Rehmanniae Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba is rational.

The acetylation status of histones and non-histone proteins regulate chromatin remodeling and gene transcription. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), a promising therapeutic approach to cancer, are characteristic of causing accumulation of acetylated histones and other transcriptional regulators. Recent studies demonstrate that HDACi is able to arrest the cell cycle in G1 and/or G2 phase, and to induce apoptosis in a variety form of transformed cells with little toxicity to normal cells. However, the exact antitumor mechanisms of HDACi are still unclear. This review provides an update on the current knowledge of HDACi with a focus on HDACi-regulated cell growth arrest and apoptosis.

Objective To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of losartan and vitamin E on kidney injury induced by overtraining in a rat model. Methods Forty SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups (10 each): control group, model group, losartan group and vitamin E group. Rats in control group were fed with conventional diet. Rats in other three groups were forced to run on the treadmill for 8 weeks, once a day for 20 minutes and 5 days for each week, till exhaustion to induce the kidney injury. Rats in losartan group and vitamin E group were gavaged either with losartan or vitamin E everyday. Urine was collected at the end af each week, urine protein and N-acety-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were detormined, and the serum urea nitrogen, creatinine (SCr), angiotensin Ⅱ, Na+-K+-ATP-ase activity in kidney were analyzed after 8 weeks' training. Results After 8 weeks' training, the urine protein, NAG in urine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), SCr were obviously increased in model group, losartan group and vitamin E group as compared with that in control group, while those in model group were higher than that in losartan group and vitamin E group (P0.05). Na+-K+-ATP-ase activity of renal tissue were obvionsly lower in model group and losartan group than that in control group and vitamin E group (P

Objective:To investigate the effects of Seroxat on Essential Hypertensive subjects with anxiety and depression and to explore its clinical implications. Methods:After evaluating 77 cases with essential hypertension by SDS and SAS, the subjects with positive results who were followed for 12 weeks from baseline assessments were randomly divided into experimental group (routine treatment and Seroxat) and control group(only routine treatment) and the subjects with negative results were regarded as non-anxiety and non-depression group. The time of the amelioration of symptom , the duration of hospitalization, the drug costs and clinical outcome were compared between 3 groups. The scores of SDS\SAS\QOL were compared within and between the experimental and control group.Results: In experimental groups and non-anxiety and non-depression groups, the time of the amelioration of symptom and the duration of hospitalization were shorter, the drug costs were less and clinical outcome was significantly better than those of control group. The scores of SDS and SAS in experimental groups were significantly lower and the scores of 3 items of QOL were significantly higher than those of control groups.Conclusion:The drug therapy on anxiety and depression could shorter the time of the amelioration of symptom, the duration of hospitalization, decrease the drug costs in hospital, significantly improve clinical outcome, and also lower the degree of psychological obstacle, improve quality of life of essential hypertension patients.
