BACKGROUND:According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, stimulating certain acupoints of the body after exercise may improve its antioxidant capacity, but different acupoints have different effects. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of different acupuncture combinations on the antioxidant capacity of myocardial and liver tissues in rats after exhausted swimming exercise, and screen out the optimal acupoint combination for exercise-induced fatigue. METHODS:Seventy Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into five groups: control group (n=10), model group (n=15),Sanyinjiao +Zusanli group (n=15),Shenshu +Zusanli group (n=15),Dazhui+Zusanli group (n=15). Except the control group, rats in the other four groups were subject to exhausted swimming. In the three acupuncture groups, rats were given acupuncture at corresponding acupint combinations at 15 minutes after exercise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the myocardial and liver tissues were significantly reduced in the model group, while the malonaldehyde content in cardiac muscle was significantly increased. Compared with the model group, the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the cardiac muscle were significantly increased inSanyinjiao +Zusanli group, the superoxide dismutase in liver tissue was significantly increased inShenshu+Zusanli group, the malonaldehyde content in the myocardial tissue was significantly decreased in Sanyinjiao +Zusanli group and Dazhui +Zusanligroup, the malonaldehyde content in the liver tissue was significantly decreased in Sanyinjiao +Zusanligroup. Different acupuncture combinations have different effects on the activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, as wel as the malonaldehyde content in the myocardial and liver tissues of fatigued rats. Acupunture could increase the antioxidant ability in cardiac muscle of rats and the best combination might beDazhui+Zusanli; acupoint combinations ofShenshu +Zusanli andSanyinjiao +Zusanli are specific for liver tissue.

Objective To investigate the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[1,25 (OH)2D3] on cell proliferation in hu?man glomerular mesangial cells and it′s effects on the regulation of mTOR/p70s6K signaling pathway in this cell line. Meth?ods The cultured human mesangial cells at passage 3-7 were divided into four groups:control group,VD group (addition of 10-8 mol/L of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 ),R group (addition of 5 mg/L of rapamycin) and R+VD group(addition of 5 mg/L ra?pamycin combined with 10-8 mol/L of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3). Drug incubation last 48 h. The effect of mesangial cell pro?liferation was measured by CCK-8 colorimetric assay. The cell cycles were measured by flow cytometry. The expression of mTOR and p70s6K were detected by immunofluorescence. Results (1) The absorbance of A450 was higher in control group than that in VD group than that in R group than that in R+VD group. But the inhibition rate (IR) was lower in control group than that in VD group than that in R group than that in R+VD group. All comparisons were of statistic significance. ( 2) Cells in G1 phase were higher while cells in G2/M and S phases as well as proliferation rate (PI) were lower in control group than those in VD group than those in R group than those in R+VD group. All comparisons were of statistic significance except in?dexes between group R and group VD. (3) mTOR and p30s6K expressions in mesangial cells were higher in control group than those in VD group than those in R group than those in R+VD group. All comparisons were of statistic significance ex?cept indexes between group R and group VD. Conclusion 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 might inhibit mesangial cell prolifera?tion significantly through mTOR/p70s6K signaling pathways.

Objective To observe the effects of different concentrations of SB203580, the inhibitor of P38MAPK, in process of high glucose (GS)-induced renal tubular epithelial-myofibroblast transdifferentiation (TEMT). Methods The cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were divided into control group (5.5 mmol/L GS), GS (30 mmol/L GS) group and different concentrations of SB203580 (30 mmol/L GS +5, 10, 20 and 30 μmol/L SB203580) groups. The treat?ments were for 48 hours. MTT assay was used to observe cell proliferation. The median inhibiting concentration (IC50) was cal?culated. Western blot assay was used to detect the expressions of P38MAPK, P-P38MAPK andα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in control group, high-glucose group and S30 group. The expression ofα-SMA was also detected by the method of im?munofluorescence. Results 1.Compared with control group, there was no significant inhitory effect on proliferation rate in DMSO group (P>0.05). There were increased HK-2 cells in high glucose group and S5group (P<0.05). Proliferation rates were significantly decreased in S20 and S30 groups (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose group, the proliferation rates of HK-2 cells were inhibited in S5, S10, S20 and S30 groups (P<0.05). 2. The expression of P-P38MAPK was significantly higher in high glucose group and S30 group than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose group, the ex?pression of P-P38MAPK was significantly decreased in S30 group (P<0.05), whereas no significant difference in the expres?sion of P38MAPK between the two groups (P>0.05). 3. Compared with control group, the expression ofα-SMA was signifi?cantly increased in high glucose group and S30 group (P<0.05). Compared with high glucose group, the expression of α-SMA was significantly decreased in S30 group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The 30 mmol/L GS can lead to TEMT in HK-2 cells. The more suitable inhibitory concentration of SB203580 in the process of TEMT is 30μmol/L. SB203580 can slow down the process of TEMT by inhibiting P38MAPK activation and inhibiting proliferation and the expression ofα-SAM s of HK-2 cells.
