Many surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria are anchored to the cell wall by the action of sortase enzymes, a recently discovered family of cysteine transpeptidases. As the surface proteins of pathogens are frequently required for virulence, the sortase might be a suitable target for the development of anti-Gram-positive drugs. Recently, the mechanism and active sites of sortase was elucidated by the research of sortaseA(SrtA) in Staphylococcus aureus and a series of SrtA inhibitors have been identified for providing the basis for further development of potent inhibitors.

Objective To establish the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp(HEC) technique in conscious rats, and to explore the effect of acute infusion of lipid on glucose infusion rate (GIR) in rats. Methods Ten SD rats were random-ly divided into two groups, 5 rats for each group. The right jugular vein and left carotid artery were catheterized and under-went a HEC with infusion of lipid (intralipid group) for 6 hours, and with continuing infusion of 5%glucose (control group). The plasma levels of free fatty acid(FFA) and GIR were measured by HEC method. Results The level of FFA concentration increased by 17.6-fold, and GIR was reduced by 27%in the intralipid group compared to those of control group (P＜0.001). Conclusion The rat model of HEC has been successfully established by intravenous intralipid infusion, which can be con-firmed by HEC technique.

Objective To study the effect and mechanism of tetrandrine (Tet) treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods 45 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, severe acute pancreatitis group (SAP group) and tetrandrine group (Tet group). 5 rats were randomly taken from each group 3, 6, and 12 h after operation, and then underwent laparotomy for testing. Detection targets included calciumion concentration, pancreatic acinar calcium fluorescence intensity and pancreas pathological evaluation. Results In terms of the value of all detection targets, there was no statistical difference for the control group between different time points (P ＞0.05 )while there was statistical difference for SAP group and TET group in different time points (P＜0.05). Conclusion The experiment confirms that Tet, as a calcium blocker, can inhibit calcium to penetrate into pancreatic acinar cells, thus effectively reduce the pathological damage to pancreas of the experimental rats. Calcium overload plays an important role in SAP development.
