The distribution of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu-ZnSOD) in subcellular organelles in 8 cases of normal human myocardium was studied by using immunocytochemistry and immunoelectron microscopic technique and the contents of Cu-Zn SOD in myocardium were measured by radioimmunoassay. The results showed that Cu-ZnSOD was in most myocardial cells. The contents of Cu-ZnSOD in the ventricular myocardial cells were higher than those in the atrial myocardial cells. The Cu-ZnSOD labeled with immunogold particles were distributed throughout cytoplasm and nuclei, but less in mitochondria and a very little in lysosomes. No gold particle was found on the membranous structure of sarcoplasmic reticulum as well as Golgi complex. The results demonstrate that the myocardium was the tissue containing quite abundant Cu-Zn SOD.

Heart rate variability (HRV) is an important point to judge a person's state in modern medicine. This paper is aimed to research a person's fatigue level connected with vagal nerve based on the HRV using the improved Welch method. The process of this method is that it firstly uses a time window function on the signal to be processed, then sets the length of time according to the requirement, and finally makes frequency domain analysis. Compared with classical periodogram method, the variance and consistency of the present method have been improved. We can set time span freely using this method (at present, the time of international standard to measure HRV is 5 minutes). This paper analyses the HRV's characteristics of fatigue crowd based on the database provided by Physio-Net. We therefore draw the conclusion that the accuracy of Welch analyzing HRV combining with appropriate window function has been improved enormously, and when the person changes to fatigue, the vagal activity is diminished and sympathetic activity is raised.

To obtain large quantity of human leukocyte antigen F (HLA-F) and cluster of differentiation 8alpha homodimers (CD8alphaalpha) proteins and to study their relationship, HLA-F and CD8alpha genes with rare codon in Escherichia coli were cloned using an N-terminal synonymous mutation method. High-efficiency expression protein inclusion bodies were acquired. The proteins were refolded using the dilution method and purified with gel-filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The results of gel-filtration and native-PAGE indicate that HLA-F interacts with CD8alphaalpha. This interaction may affect the binding between CD8alphaalpha and other MHC molecules to regulate immune responses. These results provide a basis for further research of HLA-F.

Matrix_assisted laser desorption ionization_time of flight tandem mass spectrometry ( MALDI_TOF/TOF MS) and electrospray ionization_quadrupole_time of flight mass spectrometry ( ESI_Q_TOF MS) were used to confirm the structure of cyclic lipopeptide daptomycin fastly. First, the relative molecular weight 1916. 7107 of daptomycin was measured by ESI with error 0. 0007. The sample’s doubly charged peak m/z 809. 848 was selected as precursor ion for ESI_MS/MS analysis, and the exocyclic amino acid sequence C9 H19 CO_Trp_Asn_Asp was successfully matched. Second, the experimental conditions of cleaving daptomycin by lithium hydroxide ( LiOH) were optimized and the ring_opened process was monitored by MALDI_TOF/TOF MS. After obtaining ring_opened product with purity of above 95%, the MS/MS measurements by MALDI and ESI were carried out. The b+and y+of ring_opened product were completely matched, which confirmed the amino acid sequence of daptomycin. Finally, ESI_MS/MS conditions of ring_opened product were further optimized to obtain more low mass fragment ions for analyzing the structure of fatty acid chain and the cleavage pattern of fat chain in mass spectrometry was proposed. The method was fast, convenient, accurate and reliable for identifying cyclic lipopeptide compounds.

The relation between left atrial (LA) size and myocardial pathological changes, and clinical implications were studied in 25 patients with- rheumatic mitral stenosis. The results showed that LA size was significantly correlated with pathological severity of myocardium (P 100 ml/m2 and accompanied by moderate or severe pathological changes easily suffered from Af (P200ml/m2 and severe pathological changes. The results suggest that occurence of Af may be predicated based on the LA volume and Af cardioversion should be selectively performed to obtain better results.

BACKGROUND: Ultraviolet light (UVA) has a close relationship with photoaging, and mitochondrial damage is a basis of coil senescence and death.OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of UVA on the mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid of human skin fibroblasts, in addition, to discuss whether transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) could relieve mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The experiment was performed at Department of Plastic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Fourth Military Medical University from March 2007 to April 2008.MATERIALS: TGF-β1 was purchased from PerProtech Company; rnitochondrial DNA 4 977 bp primer was synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology & Services Co., Ltd; UVA light was produced by Beijing Optical Instruments Factory; and the ultraviolet radiation meter was provided by Photoelectric Instrument Factory of Beijing Normal University.METHODS: Young adult's fibroblasts were obtained from 12 cases with posthectomy. Then the cells were divided into control,UVA irradiation (30, 60, 90 J/cm~2) groups. The mitochondrial DNA 4 977 bp deletion was detected by semi-quantitative PCR. After that, TGF-β1 with different doses (0.1, 1, 10 βg/L) were used to interfere the cells with UVA 90 J/cm~2 irradiation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: DNA 4 977 bp deletion under different doses cumulative irradiation, as well as the effect of TGF-β1 on mtDNA 4 977bp deletion after irradiates UVA90 J/cm~2 were observed.RESULTS: Mitochondrial DNA 4 977 bp had deleted when irradiated with cumulative dose of 60 J/cm~2 UVA, the deletion was aggravated when the UVA dose arrived at 90 J/cm~2, The absorbance value, PCR electrophoresis and band scanning showed that the deletion of mitochondrial DNA 4 977 bp was reduced after adding TGF-β1 at 2 hours prior to irritation in the large dose (10 μg/L) group. However, the difference between the medium and small dose groups had no obviously significance.CONCLUSION: A certain dose of TGF-β1 (10 μg/L) has protective effect on mtDNA 4 977 bp deletion.
