Objective To investigate the mechanism of Roscovitine, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK), in inhibiting HBV replication.Methods Recombiant expression plasmids of SAMHD1 (sterile alpha motif and histidine/aspartic acid domain-containing protein 1) mutants that were defective in dNTPase (deoxynucleoside triphosphate triphosphohydrolase) activity and phosphorylation at the threonine (T) 592 residue were constructed.Huh7.0 cells were respectively co-transfected with different SAMHD1 mutants in combiantion with HBV replication plasmid to analyze whether the retroviral restriction ability of SAMHD1 was regulated by phosphorylation.The cytotoxicity of Roscovitine to Huh7 cells was evaluated by MTT assay.HBV core-associated DNA levels and phosphorylation of SAMHD1 in transfected Huh7.0 cells which were treated with different concentrations of Roscovitine were measured by Southern blot and Western blot assays.Results The SAMHD1 mutant that was defective in the dNTPase active site of D207N lost its ability to restrict HBV replication.Dephosphorylation of SAMHD1 at T592 enhanced its restriction on HBV.The median toxic concentration (TC50) of Roscovitine was 11.20 μmol/L.Both the HBV core-associated DNA levels and the phosphorylation of SAMHD1 were down-regulated by Roscovitine.Conclusion The anti-HBV function of SAMHD1 in dividing cells is regulated by phosphorylation.Roscovitine can inhibit the replication of HBV through reducing the phosphorylation of SAMHD1.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two kinds of dosage of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule in treatment of active ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods The muhicentre, double blind, dosage reaction and contrast trial was conducted in six hospitals during March 2004 to Sep. 2004. One hundred and eight patients with UC were randomly allocated into the high dosage (n= 36, 1 g, bid) and the low dosage (n = 36, 0.5 g, bid) of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule groups, and the Olsalazine sodium group (n = 36, 1 g, tid) with a 8-week treatment. The efficacy and adverse events of 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule were evaluated based on the clinical presentations and endoscopic findings. Results The clinical efficacy was 68.97% in high dosage group, 45. 45% in low dosage group and 62.86% in Olsalazine sodium group with no significant difference (P>0. 05). The endoscopic examination showed that the healing rate of UC in high dosage group and low dosage group was 51.72% and 21.21%, respectively, whereas the efficacy rate was 82.76% and 69.70% respectively. The results showed that high dosage was more effective than low dosage (P=0.023), but was similar to Olsalazine sodium (healing rate of 34.29% and effective rate of 88.57% ,P>0. 05). Diarrhea was main adverse event, which was accounted for 2.8% (1/36) in high dosage group and 2.8% (1/36) in the Olsalazine sodium group. There was no adverse event in low dosage group. Conclusions 5-aminosalicylic acid zinc enteric-coated capsule is an effective agent in treatment of UC, especially in high dosage. It is similar to Olsalazine sodium in treatment of UC, and has advantages in reducing medication times.

Objective To investigate the CT perfusion imaging and the pathological features on the disturbance of regional cerebral microcirculation in a pre-infarction period, and to evaluate the relationship between the astrocytes and regional cerebral microcirculation. Methods Dynamic CT perfusion imaging of the models with regional cerebral hypoperfusion and astrocytic swelling in rats was performed to assess the presence or absence of the disturbance of regional cerebral microcirculation. Then, the histopathologic examination was made for both models, respectively. The ratios of side-to-side were measured at hypoperfusion areas in the models of regional cerebral ischemia. Results Regional hypoperfusion was revealed by regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean transit time (MTT) maps in the group of hypoperfusion for 6 hours. Regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and time-to-peak (TTP) maps were normal in that group. The ratios of rCBF, rCBV, MTT and TTP were 0 39-0 55, 0 92-1 00, 1 20-1 50 and 1 00-1 00 respectively. Astrocytic swelling pressing the capillary wall was obvious and subtle neuronal reversible degeneration was occasionally found. TTC stain was normal. In the tACPD group of astrocytic swelling, the abnormal hemodynamic regions on rCBF and MTT maps were found. The rCBV maps of 3 rats in the tACPD group showed the area of reduced rCBV. In 2 rats of tACPD group, the areas of delayed TTP were also found. The ratios of rCBF, rCBV, MTT and TTP were 0 25-0 44, 0 70-1 01, 1 20-2 00 and 1 02-1 45 respectively. TTC stain was negative. Electron microscope study revealed remarkable swelling of astrocytes, especially endfoot processes of astrocytes around capillaries. The abnormal hemodynamic region on rCBF and MTT maps matched with abnormal extent on histopathologic examination. The rCBV and TTP maps appeared normal. Conclusion The astrocytes can react in a way faster than the neurons in the pre-infarction period, viz. astrocytic swelling. The swelling of astrocytic foot, which pressed capillary vessel, induced the disturbance of regional cerebral microcirculation, and then aggravated hypoxic ischemic state in regional brain parenchyma. Perfusion CT and its parameters' analysis may play an increasing role to delineate the reversible hypoperfusion areas in pre-infarction period. Analyzing the relationship of rCBF and rCBV is very helpful to know the status of the capillary vessels in regional cerebral hypoperfusion area.
