1.Reversal effect of delavirdine on multidrug resistance-associated protein 2-mediated multidrug resistance
Clinical Medicine of China 2009;25(6):618-622
Objective To study the effect and the possible mechanism of delavirdine on muhidrng resist-ance-aasociated protein 2(MRAP2)-mediated multidrug resistance in LLC/cMOAT cells. Methods MTT assay was used to determine the effects of delavirdine on proliferation of LLC/CMV and LLC/cMOAT cells. The inhibitory effects of vincristine (VCR),cisplatin (DDP),adriamycin (ADM) and etoposide (VP-16) used alone or in combi-nation with delavirdine on the proliferation of LLC/CMV and LLC/cMOAT cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The cell cycle distribution, the apoptosis rate of the cells treated with different concentration of delavirdine and the intra-cellular concentration of ADM were determined by flow cytometry (FCM). Results Delavirdine at the concentration of 4 μmol/L and below showed no significant cytotoxicity to LLC/CMV and LLC/cMOAT cells. The resistance of LLC/cMOAT cells to VCB, VP-16, ADM and DDP were 9.58,1.11,2.98 and 3.96 folds of that of LLC/CMV cells. When 2 μmol/L delavirdine was added, the resistance was 5.21 and 2.55 folds respectively;when 4 μmol/L dela-virdine was edded,the resistance was 7.56 and 3.03 ,while 2,4 μmol/L delavirdine made no significant changes to the chemosensitivity of LLC/CMV cells to VCR and DDP(P>0.05). Cellular cycle analysis demonstrated that 0,6, 12,24 hours after co-cultured with delavirdine the amount of cells at G1 phase increased from(38.92±0.15)% to (56.87±2.23)%,(65.36±2.76)% and (74.77±5.06)%. The cell apoptosis rate increased from 1.77% to 17.45% and 28.52% when treated with delavirdine at 2,4 μmol/L and VCR for 24 h. When treated with 2,4 μmol/L delavirdine, ADM accumulation in LLC/cMOAT cells was enhanced significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion DLV can partially reverse the multidrng resistance of LLC/cMOAT cells, and the reverse effect correlates to the concentration. The possible mechanism may involve the growth arrest at G1, increasing of intracellular drug concen-tration and promoting apoptosis.
2.Sleep disorders after stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(12):935-938
Sleep disorders is a common complication of stroke.It not only affects the somatic rehabilitation and mental health of patients,but also aggavates hypertension and diabetes,and even induces cerebral infarction and recurrence of cerebral hemorrhage.Using polysomnography to conduct nocturnal sleep monitoring for stroke patients with sleep disorders can objectively reflect the sleep quality of the patients.Continuous positive airway pressure treatment may effectively correct sleep disorders and promote functional recovery of the patients.

Geographic distribution of Polyporus umbellatus was predicted by using distribution records. Based on 42 distribution records from 12 provinces and bioclimatic data (1950-2000), georaphic distribution of P. umbellatus was modeled using Maxent. The results showed thatthe Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis method was used to assess the accuracy of MAXENT model and the area under ROC curve (AUC) value of MAXENT was 0. 960 which suggested that the result of assessment was dependable. The geographic distribution pattern of were divided into three distribution block based on distribution values of 0.5-0.8: small area of Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Hebei province, the board area of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the southeast area of Tibet and the most area of Shanxi and Shannxi, the southeast board area of Shannxi, Gansu and Ningxia. Jackknife Test showed that average precipitation in warm seasons had the greatest contribution to the distribution gain of P. umbellatus, followed by mean temperature of driest quarter and annual mean temperature. The object suggests the potential distribution areasof P. umbellatus which is useful for the habitat conservation and introduction of P. umbellatus.

Objective To observe the effect of Sijunzi Decoction (SD) on the mitochondrial DNA deletion of the aging model mice, and to explore its anti-aging biomolecular mechanism. Methods Kunming mice were divided into 6 groups according to the body weight: normal control group, .model control group, high-, middle-and low-dose SD groups (at the dose of 20, 10, 5 g·kg-1 respectively), and vitamin E group (250 mg·kg-1), 20 mice in each group.The mice models of aging were induced by D-galactose. Water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the aging model mice. The effect of SD on the mitochondrial DNA deletion of the aging model mice was ob-served. Results In the hippocampal mtDNA of model control group and low-dose SD group, there were about 3.87 kb fragment missing. But there was no missing pieces in high-and middle-dose SD groups. Conclusion The anti-aging biomolecular mechanism of SD is probably related to the preventive effect on the mutation and deletion of the mitochondrial DNA in the aging model mice.
