Objective To study the effects of ACE1 on amount and mRNA expression of Ca2+ release channels(RyR2) of myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) in prevention and treatment of chronic heart failure.Methods After the model of chronic heart failure was established with ligation of left corongary artery in rats,the animals were prevented and treated with Perindopril. Hemodynamic parameters, Bmax and Kd of [3H]-ryanodine binding to RyR2、RyR2 mRNA content were determined.Results Compared with the control group(group C),LVEDP in the heart faliure group (group F)increased(P<0.01),while+dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmaxdecreased significantly(P<0.01).LVEDP was lower but +dp/dtmax and -dp/dtmaxsignificantly higher in the Perindopril treated group(group P)than those in group F(P<0.01).Bmaxof [3H]-ryanodine binding to RyR2 and mRNA content of RyR2 in group F were lower than those in group C(P<0.01),and these in group P were higher than those in group F(P<0.01). There were no significant difference of Kd among the three groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The amount and mRNA expression of RyR2 of myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum(SR) decreased in chronic heart failure.Perindopril can improve mRNA expression and amount of RyR2 of myocardial SR in prevention and treatment of chronic heart failure, thus contributing to the improvement of myocardial function.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Dishevelled protein expression and the proliferation and invasion of glioma cells.Methods 67 cases of brain glioma specimens were collected.The expression of Dishevelled protein was detected with immunohistochemical method.The immunoreactivity score (IRS) of Dishevelled protein,and proliferation index (PⅠ) and invasion index (Ⅱ) were measured and their correlations were analyzed.Results The positive rate of Dishevelled protein in glioma was 65.7 % (44/67).IRS,PⅠ and Ⅱ were 4.15±3.13,(30.93±17.92) %,(20.38±13.36) %,respectively.Both PⅠ and Ⅱ significantly increased with an increase in the pathological grade of brain glioma (P < 0.001).Furthermore,PⅠ and Ⅱ were significantly higher in the Dishevelled protein-positive group than those in the Dishevelled protein-negative group [(38.27±17.60) % vs (16.02±8.92) % of PⅠ and (30.03±13.81) % vs (10.63±4.41) % of Ⅱ,respectively,P < 0.001].PⅠ and Ⅱ of glioma cells were positively correlated with IRS of Dishevelled protein (r =0.940 between PⅠ and IRS,and r =0.953 between Ⅱ and IRS,respectively).Conclusion Dishevelled protein plays an important role in the proliferation and invasion of brain malignant glioma.

BACKGROUND:At present, spleen tyrosine kinase is the new target of studying and treating rheumatoid arthritis. OBJECTIVE:To study the influence of smal molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor HL131078 on the inflammatory cel infiltration and cartilage destruction of the knee joint of mice with col agen-induced arthritis. METHODS:Forty DBA/1 mice were randomly and evenly divided into blank, model, positive and experimental groups. Col agen type II (CII) solution and Freund’s complete adjuvant (including mycobacterium tuberculosis) were injected into the mice of the latter three groups through the tail to establish mouse models of col agen-induced arthritis. At 2 weeks after the the first immunization with CII, the mice in the positive group were intragastrical y given R406 (10 mg/kg), once a day, for 28 consecutive days. The mice in the experimental group were intragastrical y given HL131078 (10 mg/kg), once per day, for 28 consecutive days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the mean arthritis indexes of mice in the experimental and positive groups started to decline at 29 and 26 days. In the experimental group, the cartilage destruction of mouse knee joint was obviously reduced and the inflammatory cel infiltration in the knee joints was obviously reduced, which was close to that in the positive group. The results demonstrate that the smal molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor HL131078 can effectively reduce inflammatory cel infiltration and cartilage destruction in the knee joints of mice with col agen-induced arthritis.

The apparatus for intrinsic dissolution test recorded in United States Pharmacopeia (USP) integrating with fiber-optic drug dissolution test system (FODT) were used to real-time monitor intrinsic dissolution processes of alliin in four media which were water, solution of HCl with pH 1.2, buffer solution of acetate with pH 4.5, and buffer solution of phosphate with pH 6.8. The intrinsic dissolution rate (IDR) and the similarity factor (f2) of two intrinsic dissolution curves with two apparatuses were calculated. The IDR values of alliin with rotating disk system were 28.1.3, 33.55, 28.38 and 30.95 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1) in four media, respectively. And the IDR values of alliin with stationary disk system were 44.16, 47.07, 45.11 and 51.34 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1), respectively. The similarity factors were 56.42, 50.75, 40.30 and 40.64, respectively. The results showed that the intrinsic alliin dissolution rates were much greater than 1 mg x cm(-2) x min(-1). It inferred that alliin dissolution would not be the rate limiting step to absorption.

Besides its function as a pathogenicity determinant, the Tombusvirus P19 also serves as a suppressor of RNA interference (RNAi) by sequestering intracellular small RNAs such as the small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the effect of P19 on mammalian cells has not been evaluated before. A human embryonic kidney 293 cell line that stably expressed p19 (HEK293-p19) was generated. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that over-expression of P19 caused a significant accumulation of G2/M phase cells. Cell proliferation assays demonstrated a reduced DNA replication and cell growth in HEK293-p19 cells. Moreover, p19 altered the expression profiles of a number of cell cycle regulators in HEK293 cells, such as upregulafion of cyclin A1, CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, p18, cyclin D2, p19INK4d and E2F1, and downregulation of p15, cyclin A2, cyclin B1 and cyclin E1. Thus, the data strongly indicate that p19 might influence multiple G2/M regulators to cause G2/M arrest.
