Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(13):-
Objective To investigate the effect of geldanamycin(GA) on the expression of HSP(HSP90,HSP70,HSP27) and oncoprotein(mutant p53,CDK4) in human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435s.Methods Proliferation of MDA-MB-435s cells was measured with MTT assay.The mRNA expression levels of HSP90,HSP70 and HSP27 were detected by RT-PCR.The protein expression levels of HSP90,HSP70,HSP27,mutant p53 and CDK4 were detected by Western blot.Results GA inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-435s cells in a time-dose dependent manner.The expression level of mRNA and protein of HSP90,HSP70 and HSP27 were increased,and the increasing of HSP70 was the most significant,while the protein expression level of mutant p53 and CDK4 in MDA-MB-435s cells were reduced obviously after 48-hour treatment with 400 nmol/L GA as compared with that of control cells.Conclusion GA inhibits the proliferation of MDA-MB-435s cells by down-regulating the level of mutant p53 and CDK4 protein,and GA involves in the protection of cell stress through increasing the expression of HSP90,HSP70 and HSP27.

OBJECTIVETo dynamically assess drug targeting of Yougui Pill (YP) and Zuogui Pill (ZP) using infrared thermography.
METHODSIn this self-control experiment, five healthy volunteers were recruited. By using infrared thermography 10 to 11 thermal images of different body locations were taken from each participant after they took warm water, YP, ZP, and their dissembled prescriptions at 30, 70, 100, 130, and 160 min, respectively. The heat values in the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) were statistically analyzed after scanning for 125 times.
RESULTSAdministration of YP and its disassembled prescriptions enhanced the heat value of the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), but did no enhance the heat value of the lower quadrant abdomen at 30 min. Administration of ZP and its disassembled prescriptions reduced the heat value in the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen, uterus, Du channel, and Shenque (CV8) at each time point.
CONCLUSIONThe drug targeting of ZP and YP focused on the locations of the Du channel and Shenque (CV8), not on the locations of the lower quadrant abdomen or uterus.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the theoretical model of the three-dimensional structure of mosquitocidal Cry30Ca2 and its molecular docking with N-acetylgalactosamine.
METHODSThe theoretical model of Cry30Ca2 was predicted by homology modeling on the structure of the Cry4Ba. Docking studies were performed to investigate the interaction of Cry30Ca2 with N-acetylgalactosamine on the putative receptor.
RESULTSCry30Ca2 toxin is a rather compact molecule composed of three distinct domains and has approximate overall dimensions of 95 by 75 by 60Å. Domain II is a helix bundle, Domain II consists of three antiparallel β-sheets, Domain III is composed of two β-sheets that adopt a β-sandwich fold. Residue 321Ile in loop1, residues 342Gln 343Thr and 345Gln in loop2, residue 393Tyr in loop3 of Cry30Ca2 are responsible for the interactions with GalNAc via 7 hydrogen bonds, 6 of them were related to the oxygen atoms of hydroxyls of the ligand, and one to the nitrogen of the ligand.
CONCLUSIONThe 3D structure of Cry30Ca2 resembles the previously reported Cry toxin structures but shows still some distinctions. Several residues in the loops of the apex of domain II are responsible for the interactions with N-acetylgalactosamine.

Objective To investigate the relationship between urine IgG of the first hospitalized children suffered allergic purpura and recurrence within one year. Methods Used immunoturbidimetry to determine acute-stage and convalescent urine IgG of 43 children suffered allergic purpura in the first hospitalized and no recurrence within one year (no recurrence group), and of 29 children suffered allergic purpura and recurrence within one year (recurrence group), and of 28 hospitalized children suffered primary nephrotic syndrome during the corresponding time period before hormonal therapy (nephrotie syndrome group), and of 30 children done medical examination in out-patient clinic (control group), then analyzed.Results There was no significant difference of the urine IgG level in acute-stage between no recurrence group [(1.391± 0.743) g/L] and recurrence group [(1.474 ±0.658) g/L](P>0.05), while they were all lower than that in recurrence group [(2.808 ± 0.683) g/L] (P < 0.01). The level of convalescent urine IgG in nephrotic syndrome group [(0.202 ± 0.154) g/L] was obviously higher than that in no recurrence group [(0.115 ±0.103) g/L] and control group [(0.109 ±0.098) g/L](P<0.05). Conclusion Urine IgG is a significant index to judge the activity and recurrence and prognosis of pedo-allergie purpura.

Objective To explore the predictive value for coronary heart disease by epicardial adipose tissue(EAT) thickness and carotid intima-media thickness(IMT) measured with high-frequency ultrasound.Methods According to the results of coronary angiography, the cases were divided into the normal control group (29 patients),coronary artery disease group with single-vessel lesion (43 patients),coronary artery disease group with multi-vessels lesion (28 patients), respectively. EAT and IMT were measured by high-frequency ultrasound. Results The EAT in the three groups were (4.8 ± 1.3) mm, (7.6 ± 1.8) mm,(10.1±2.6) mm respectively, and the IMT were (0.8±0.1)mm,(1.0±0.2)mm,(1.1 ± 0.2)mmrespectively. In either coronary artery disease group with single-vessel lesion or multi-vessels lesion, the EAT and IMT were significantly higher than those in the normal control group ( P< 0.01 ). And the difference between groups of single-vessel lesion and multi-vessels lesion was also statistically significant (P< 0.01). The areas under receive operating characteristic(ROC) curve to predict coronary heart disease by EAT and IMT was 0.947 and 0.917, respectively, there was no significant difference between the two areas. For patient with coronary artery stenosis>50%, the sensitivity and specificity of EAT>6 mm were 90.1% and 86.2% ,respectively,the sensitivity and specificity of IMT>0.85 mm were 87.3% and 82.8%,respectively. Conclusions EAT and IMT measured by high-frequency ultrasound can precisely predictcoronary heart disease. EAT can be a new predictor to diagnose coronary heart disease.
