BACKGROUND:Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) can inhibit lipid peroxidation after rat brain injury. However, the trend of 5-lipoxygenaseis (5-LOX) and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) in model of Parkinson’s disease, and whether CAPE protects against rotenone-induced cel ular injuries by inhibiting the levels of 5-LOX and CysLTs stil need further research.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of CAPE on the rotenone-induced Parkinson-like injury, and to determine whether 5-LOX involved.
METHODS:(1) PC12 cel s in good-growth were col ected and divided into five groups cultured with different concentrations of rotenone (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10μmol/L). 24 and 48 hours later, changes of cel ular morphology and activity were observed to single out the optimum concentration of rotenone;at 24 hours, the levels of 5-LOX and CysLTs were detected by western blotting and ELISA, respectively. (2) PC12 cel s were pretreated with different concentrations of CAPE (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μmol/L) for 30 minutes, and 1 μmol/L rotenone was then added. The other cel s received no intervention as blank control group. Subsequently, the cel activity was detected, and the CysLTs production was detected by ELISA at 24 hours.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Rotenone (0.1-10μmol/L) could induce PC12 cel injury with overt morphological and cel activity changes at 24 hours, especial y the 1 μmol/L rotenone. (2) Rotenone also significantly increased the 5-LOX expression and CysLTs production in a concentration-dependant manner. (3) CAPE (1-10μmo/L) significantly attenuated rotenone-induced CysLTs production and cel viability reduction in a concentration-dependant manner. (4) These results suggest that CAPE protects against PC12 cel injuries in the model rat with Parkinson’s disease induced by rotenone involving 5-Lox.

AIM: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has been acknowledged as a simple and feasible study method of evaluating cardiorespiratory function, motor ability and quality of life in all testees. This study was designed to evaluate the value of 6MWT in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: ①Fifty patients diagnosed with COPD were enrolled from Department of Respiratory Medicine in the Second Clinical Medical College of Jinan University from January 2001 to December 2006, including 34 males and 16 females, with a mean age of (70.1?8.9) years; and 62 patients with other diseases admitted in Department of Respiratory Medicine were taken as controls, including 30 males and 32 females, with a mean age of (66.5?10.1) years. Informed consents were obtained from all testees.②All patients were tested with 6MWT, lung function and MRC dyspnea scale, and the results were conducted for t test, ROC curve analysis, linear correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated. RESULTS: All the testees were involved in the result analysis.①6MWT results: Compared with control group, the degression fraction of blood oxygen saturation was significantly higher and 6-minute walk distance was significantly shorter in the COPD patients (P

Objective To evaluate the clinical curative effect and methods for recurring NPC with treatment of intracavitary radiotherapy after interventional chemotherapy. Methods 32 cases of recurring NPC were divided into two groups, each of which consisted of 16 cases. Group one was treated with intracavitary chemotherapy plus intracavitary radiotherapy. On the third day after interventional chemotherapy, the first intracavitary radiotherapy was performed (5 Gy) and the second treatment was done next day. Group two was only performed with intracavitary radiotherapy. The dose and interval were the same. The time of re examination was two weeks later. Results In the first group, clinical symptoms were improved, local swelling lymph nodes were shrunk, secretion on the nasopharyngeal surface was hardly left or disappeared. Tumours were shrunk and atrophy. On the intracavitary radiotherapy group, clinical symptoms changed a little, except the secretion on the mass surface was reduced. The white blood counts of the two groups showed no difference and there were no functional changes of liver, kidney and digestive system in the interventional group. Conclusions It is a new and effective therapy to treat recurring NPC with interventional chemotherapy plus intracavitary radiotherapy.
