Objective:To investigate the relationship between poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase(PARP) inhibition and the growth activity of murine colon carcinoma CT26 cell lines in vitro.Methods:The murine colon carcinoma CT26 cell lines were treated with PARP inhibitior 5-AIQ in vitro.MTT assay was used to determine the growth activity of CT26 cells.The expressions of PARP and NF-?B p65 in the nuclei of CT26 cells were investigated by double labelling immunofluorescence and laser scanning cofocal microscope.Results:The inhibitory rates of the growth in 5-AIQ-treated colon carcinoma CT26 cell groups were 17.52%、27.63% and 39.93%,respectively.The inhibitory rate increased with the raising of the 5-AIQ concentration(0.1mmol/L,0.5mmol/L,and1.0mmol/L),and the difference was significant(P

The effects of nitrendipine (Nit) on myocardial contractility, myocardial succinate de-hydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome oxidase (CCO) activities in streptozotocin (65mg/kg) diabetic rats were studied. Four weeks after the induction of diabetes, the rats were treated with Nit (30mg ?kg -2/day) for 4 weeks. The results showed that ventricular diastolic function was affected after 4 weeks of diabetes, and both ventricular diastolic and systolic functions were obviously involved after 8 weeks. These changes were significantly improved in diabetic rats receiving Nit treatment. The myocardial SDH and CCO activities in diabetic animals were markedly lower as compared to controls. The attenuation of these enzyme activities in diabetic rats was significantly reversed by administration of Nit. These findings suggest that Nit treatment may exhibit some beneficial effects on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

The pathogenesis of barium-induced severe myocardial necrosis in dietary potassum-depleted rats was investigated. In this study four experiments were performed. The results of these experiments suggest that there exist a complex pathogenesis of myocardial lesion produced by barium in condition of potassium deficiency. The main mechanism seems to be the direct stimulating effect of barium on myocardial contractibility. It seems unlikely that barium-induced constriction of coronary arteries, hypertension, hypokalemia, and increased catecholamine secretion are the basic mechanism of the myocardial necrosis. But these factors may play a promoting or aggravating role in the development of the myocardial lesion. Potassium deficiency not only acts as a conditioning factor for barium-induced myocardial necrosis, but also relatively increases the cardiotoxity of barium. This may be the principal pathogenesis of severe myocardial necrosis produced by barium in combination with potassium deficiency.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of down-regulating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression on Bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice.MethodsForty 4 ～6 week aged C57BL/c male mice were randomly divided into control,bleomycin,bleomycin plus EGFR RNAi groups and RNAi negative control group.Bleomycin group were treated with bleomycin (3 mg/kg) by endotracheal injection on day 0,control group were treated with PBS.And bleomycin plus EGFR RNAi group were received EGRF siRNA plus bleomycin intratracheal administration.RNAi negative control group received negative EGRF siRNA plus bleomycin intratracheal administration.Mice were sacrificed 10 days after the treatments.Hydroxyproline (HYP) assay was performed in the lung tissue.The lung tissue slides were examined pathologically with H.E.staining,and EGFR mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique.Western blot were performed to identify the protein level.of total EGFR and phosphorylated EGFR.ResultsHistological examination of lung specimens demonstrated that EGFR siRNA administration lessened lung fibrosis induced by bleomycin and significantly reduced HYP content (543.00±25.89 vs 900.73±31.77,P＜0.01).EGFR mRNA (0.31±0.05 vs 0.75±0.08,P ＜0.01) and protein expression(1.53±0.47 vs 2.56±0.37,P ＜0.01) in EGFR siRNA-treated mice was significantly decreased.The expression of phosphorylation of EGFR protein (1.78±0.35 vs 2.84±0.51,P ＜0.01) and EGFR protein in RNAi group was less than in bleomycin group.Conclusions EGFR RNAi reduced the BLM-induced lung fibrosis by inhabiting EGFR activation.

During transportation of patients with cerebral infarction and OSAHS, 54 Patients in comparison group was not in the ambulance with ventilator while 73 patients in observation group with ventilation. After two weeks treatment, the observation group's heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and carbon dioxide partial pressure were significantly lower than that of the comparison group, while the oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation was significantly higher than the comparison group,observation group mortality rate was 2.74%, significantly lower than the comparison group which was 7.41%.

Objective To explore the relevance between writing characteristic and therapeutic effect in schizophrenia and to discuss the influence of aggressive behavior on writing characteristic. Methods Re-coding the casual and fixed writing in admission, one week, two weeks, four weeks, eight weeks after treatment and rating Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS). Choosing two characteristics, “relationship between font and grid lines” and “having big strokes or not”, and comparing before and after treatment. Results Eight weeks after treatment, the score of PANSS decreased. The condition of patients and the writing characteristic improved as well. The differ-ences of writing characteristics were statistically significant in patients with aggressive behavior before and after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The writing characteristic has relation with therapeutic effects and improved with therapeutic effects in aggressive patients.

Fever model was made by intravenously injected leucocytic pyrogen(LP,EP). Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang CGJJT fluid was perfused into rabbits stomach by mouth. 65 New Zealand white rabbits were divided into four groups: (1) control group; (2) LP group; (3) CGJJT fluid group; (4) LP+ CGJJT fluid group. Effects of CGJJT fluid on LP fever and cAMP concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)were observed. The results obtained from our experiments showed that: (1) The rectal temperature of normal rabbits markedly affected by CGJJT fluid. (2) Febrile response of LP was significantly inhibited by CGJJT fluid (P

The activities of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors in 15 organs and tissues from 5 human fetuses of the ages of 22 to 34 weeks were determined using a membrane filter assay of the specific binding of ~(125)I-LDL to tissue homogenates. The results showed that the adrenal cortex (465 ng/mg protein) had the highest activity of ~(125)I LDL specific binding seven times than that of the medulla. Adipose tissue (214 ng/mg protein) and liver (102 ng/mg protein) ranked second. Relatively high bindings were also observed in the skeletal muscle (89 ng/mg protein), brain (65 ng/mg protein), kidney (60 ng/mg protein) and spinal cord (56ng/mg protein). It was found that the activity of LDL receptors in the central nervous system of human fetus was higher than that of cows, of human adultsand of humam fetuses of 16 to 20 weeks as reported by other investigators. Relatively high level of LDL receptor mRNA in human fetal brain was also found by ~(32)P-cDNA probe hybridization analysis. It is suggested that the growing and developing central nervous system of human fetus reqiresmore cholesterol. In addition, We also observed preliminarily that the tendency of LDL receptors activities in liver and adrenal gland cortex were gradually inereased with fetal age.
