This study was aimed to analyze the major protein composition of centipedes (Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L.Koch.), and the ACE inhibitory activity of its hydrolysis. Albumins, gulbulins, coixins and glutelins were sequentially extracted from centipedes flour with corresponding buffer and then quantified by Kjeldahl method and Brandford. Hydrolysation of four kinds of proteins of centipedes and the residues were conducted with pepsin. The hydrolysis was ultrafiltrated (MWCO=3 000) and lyophilized. The peptides (≤3 kD) were obtained to evalu-ate the ACE inhibitory activity by RP-HPLC. The results showed that the total protein content of centipedes was (62.69±1.41)%. Among which the contents of albumins, globulins, coixins, glutelins and residual were account-ing for (6.42±0.31)%, (7.94±0.24)%, (4.31±0.34)%, (40.66±0.56)% and (25.78±0.60)%, respectively. The inhibition rate of hydrolysis of four kinds of protein and residual were 50.28%, 57.37%, 31.15%, 58.99%, 80.81%, respectively. It was concluded that centipedes were rich in protein and the hydrolyzate of all proteins manifested ACE inhibitory activity at different extent. The residual and glutelins indicated strong ACE inhibitory potential by hydrolysis. This research provided valuable sights for exploring hypotensive activity and functional food from centi-pedes.

Objective To investigate the effects of different target effect-site concentrations (Ces) of remifentanil on the sedative effect of propofol. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-55 yr weighing 48-86 kg with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 10 each) . Anesthesia was induced with TCI of remifentanil (Ce = 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 ng/ml in groups R0-R4 respectively) and propofol. The initial Ce of propofol was 2.0 μg/ml in the 5 groups, and then the Ce of propofol increased by 0.5 μg/ml every 1 min until BIS value decreased to 50. BIS value and Ce of propofol were recorded as the patient lost consciousness. The effect-site concentration and consumption of propofol and the time required were recorded when BIS value decreased to 50.Results BIS value was significantly increased, while the effect-site concentration of propofol was significantly decreased as the patient lost consciousness, and the effect-site concentration and consumption of propofol were significantly decreased and the time required was shortened when BIS value decreased to 50 in R2-R4 groups compared with group R0 (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01) . Conclusion The sedative effect of propofol can be enhanced when the Ce of remifentanil reaches 4 ng/ml, and the effects are comparable when the Ce of remifentanil reaches 4, 6 and 8 ng/ml.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of E-cadherin and β-catenin in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma.Methods The expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin were detected by immunohistochemistry in 60 patients with type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma and 10 normal endometrial tissues.The patients were followed-up postoperatively for the survival rate.Results Expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin in 10 normal endometrial tissues was all high expression,while those of both abnormal expression in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma with expression rates with 60.0 ％ (36/60) and 55.0 ％ (33/60),respectively,which were difference compared with both in normal endometrial tissues (P ＜ 0.05).The expression rates were markedly decreased in carcinoma with lymph node metastasis than those without lymph node metastasis.The proportions of abnormal expressions of E-cadherin and β-catenin were positively correlated with tumor grade and myometrial invasion in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma (P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative two-year survival rate in the patients with abnormal expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin were much lower than those with normal expression (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Abnormal high expression of E-cadherin and β-catenin may play important roles on generation and metastasis in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma.Both of them may be promising method for predicting invasion and metastasis and can be prognostic predictors in type Ⅰ endometrial carcinoma.
