Objective To study the effects and mechanism of p-hydroxyacetophenone (PHA ) on bile secretion ,choles-terol metabolism and blood lipids .Methods Cystic duct cannula was cannulated and bile were collected in SD rats .PHA was administrated in the high cholesterol rats .The activity of HMG-CoA reductase was determined by spectrophotometry in reac-tion system .Samples of liver were obtained in experiment hypercholesterolemia rats and Real-time PCR test was conducted for AQP8 ,CYP7A1 ,OATP and NTCP .Results Secretion of bile were increased ,cholesterol in bile were reduced and secretion of total bile acid were increased in rats by PHA .The level of serum cholesterol in hyperglycemia rat model was reduced signifi-cantly and inhibitory ability had been limited in the activity of HMG-CoA reeducates by PHA ,but the gene transcription inclu-ding AQP8 ,CYP7A1 ,OATP ,and NTCP were promoted ,which are related to function of excretion of biliary acid and trans-formation of cholesterol .Conclusion These results suggest that PHA ,as a lead compound ,might be of significance for fur-ther development for a bile secretory and lipid lowering agent .

Mitosis is a key step of eukaryote proliferation.Endosomal sorting complex required for trans-port,a protein complex closely associated with membrane shearing,is involved in endosome maturation,virus budding,and autophagy.The structural and functional abnormalities of the complex are associated with the occur-rence and progression of cancer and other diseases.In this paper,we summarized the roles of the endosomal sor-ting complex required for transport in different stages of mitosis and reviewed the studies about the role of the com-plex in regulating mitosis in diseases.
