Pinacidil caused a concentration -dependent decrease in the force of contraction,but, benzyltetrahydropalmatine ( BTHP ) increased the contractile force in isolated guinea pig left atria. Both BTHP and pinacidil suppressed the adrenaline- induced left atria auto-maticity.In isolated guinea pig trachealis,BTHP(5, 50 ?mol ?L-1) caused an apparent leftward shift of acetylcholine(Ach)or histamine dose-response curves, augmenting response to low Ach or histamine concentrations without or slightly change the tissue maximum response to the spasmogen. By contraries,Pinacidil(50 ? mol?L-1)produced a rightward shifts in the concentration - effect curve of Ach or Kis and depressed the foot of thedose-response curves for Ach or His without modifying the maximum response.In the presence of pinacidil BTHP did not modify the responses to either Ach or histamine. indeed,the specific antagonism between pinacidil and BTHP suggests that BTHP interact with the same or closely related sites of actions as the K channel blocker.

Objective To investigate clinic characteristics and prognosis of lacunar cerebra infarction.Methods 112 patients with lacunar cerebra infarction were selected and analyzed retrospectively.Results 40% of patients had slight symptom,symptom-free 25% of patients was observed by the infarct sign based on the CT brain scan or MRI,65% of patients was the frequency of cerebra infarction,infarct focus was 219 in the 112 cases,recrudescence in 76 patients including 35 patients(46%) with symptom of dementia,language barrier and diplegia.Conclusions Clinic symptom of patients with lacunar cerebra infarction is slight,whereas clinic characteristics are variegated.Recrudescence rate is highter in patients with a previous history of the lacunarr cerebra infraction,and prognosis is bad.With the number of infarct focus increasing,clinic symptom of cognize obstacle and other function abnormity become more serious.This results may help clinicians to assess prognosis more accurately.

The effect of hyperestrogenemia induced by intramuscular injectied estradiol (E_2) on myocardial contractility and relaxation was observed in female rats with myocardial infarction (MI). The results showed that: (1) In MI group, the plasma estradiol level increased slyghtly and then droped, while the level of estradiol increased markedly in rats treated by E_2 in MI (MIE_2) group. (2) Diameter of myofibril in MIE_2 grows more than that of control sham operation(CS) and MI (10.65?0.59 VS 7.65?0.40 and 10.15?0.54?m, P

砄bjective:To study the biological characteristics and mineralization activity of strom cells (MSC) isolated from rat bone marrow.Methods: MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow using gradient centrifuge (460 g,20 min) with 70% percoll and cultured with DMEM. The cells were then incubated with mineralization culture medium (MCM) in the presence of Dex (10～7 mol/L), ? GP (10 mmol/L) and AcA (50 g/L).Cell growth was studied with cell counting,alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression with a kit and mineralization with a saturated solution of alizarin red S (pH 4.3) stainning.Results: The isolated cells from bone marrow of rat were epithelial like. The doubling time (DT) of the cells in MCM or DMEM were 50.3 h and 66.1 h respectively. Mineralization was observed after the cells had been cultured in MCM for 28 days. bFGF and rhBMP 2 increased ALP expression of MSC in a dosage dependent manner. Conclusion: In vitro cultured MSCs may be induced to differentiate towards osteoblasts.

Objective To determine the clinical value of intraoperative cholangiography in mini-cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 506 patients receiving intraoperative cholangiography in minicholecystectomy from 1992 to 2006 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Intr-aoperative cholangiography was successfully completed in 403 patients. The success rate was 97.4%.Stones in the bile duct in 49 patients,abnormal bite duet in 4 patients and bile duct injury in 4 patient were found. The cuts were extended in 16 patients. Conclusion Intraoperative cholangiography is of great value in inducing postoperative complications and improving the quality of MC. Therefore, it can be used to prevent residual stone after operation, avoid bile duct exploration or injury, decrease the chance of extending the cut and make sure of abnormal bile duct.

Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human pigment epithelium derived factor (rhPEDF)on in vitro proliferation of and expressions of interleukin 6(IL-6), IL-8 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in cultured human HaCaT keratinocytes. Methods Some cultured HaCaT cells were treated with rhPEDF at various concentrations(25, 50, 100 μg/L)for different durations, and some treated with RPMI 1640 medium only served as the control group. Cell counting kit-8(CCK8)assay was performed to evaluate cell proliferation after 24-, 48- and 72-hour treatment, reverse transcription (RT)-PCR to measure the mRNA expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF in HaCaT cells after 24-hour treatment, and Western blot to detect the protein expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF in HaCaT cells after 48-hour treatment. Statistical analysis was carried out by two- and one-way analysis of variance, Student-Newman-Keuls(SNK)-q test and Pearson correlation analysis. Results After treatment with rhPEDF of 25-100 μg/L for 24 - 72 hours, the proliferation of HaCaT cells was significantly inhibited to different extents compared with the control group(all P < 0.05), and the inhibition rate significantly increased with the increase in treatment duration and concentrations of rhPEDF(F = 1115, 329.9, respectively, both P < 0.001). Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF mRNAs(at 24 hours)and proteins(at 48 hours)in HaCaT cells after treatment with rhPEDF of 25 - 100 μg/L compared with the control group(all P < 0.05). The expression levels of VEGF mRNA as well as IL-6 and IL-8 proteins all significantly decreased with the increase of rhPEDF concentrations (all P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of IL-6 and IL-8 were significantly lower in the 100-μg/L rhPEDF group than in the 25-μg/L rhPEDF group (both P < 0.05), and the protein expression of VEGF was significantly weaker in the 100-μg/L rhPEDF group than in 25-and 50-μg/L rhPEDF groups (both P < 0.05), but similar between the 25- and 50-μg/L rhPEDF groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions rhPEDF can inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cells, and down-regulate the mRNA and protein expressions of IL-6, IL-8 and VEGF.

Objective To investigate the effects of COX-2 antisense oligonucleotide (AsODN) on the proliferation and expression of COX-2 in human skin squamous cell carcinoma cell line Coio-16. Methods The COX-2 AsODN was synthesized artificially, and various concentrations (50, 100, 200, 400 nmol/L) of the AsODN were transfected into Colo-16 cells with lipofectin followed by additional culture for different durations. The transfection results were observed with fluorescence microscopy. Subsequently, MTT assay,Western blotting and reverse transcription PCR were used to detect the cell proliferation, protein and mRNA expression of COX-2 in Coio-16 cells, respectively. Restults Compared with untreated cells, the proliferation of Colo-16 cells was inhibited significantly at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after transfection with different concentrations of COX-2 AsODN (all P < 0.05), and the COX-2 AsODN of 400 nmol/L exerted the highest inhibition rate of 60.3% at 48 hour. The average gray scale was 0.763±0.070, 0.600±0.065, 0.430±0.074 and 0.251±0.045 for COX-2 protein, 0.778±0.025, 0.602±0.041, 0.417±0.031 and 0.297±0.051 for COX-2 mRNA in Colo-16 cells transfected with COX-2 AsODN of 50, 100, 200, and 400 nmol/L respectively,significantly lower than that in untreated Colo-16 cells (all P < 0.05); there was a significant difference in the expression of COX-2 protein and mRNA among the cells transfected with the four concentrations of COX-2 AsODN and untreated cells (F = 83.54, 132.48, respectively, both P < 0.05). Conehtsions COX-2 AsODN can inhibit the proliferation, as well as the expression of COX-2 protein and mRNA in Colo-16 cells, which suggests that COX-2 AsODN has a potential therapeutic effect on skin squamous cell carcinoma.
