OBJECTIVE:
To explore alcohol pharmacokinetics as well as acetaldehyde level in peripheral blood in human subjects with different ALDH2 genotypes after drinking.
METHODS:
Venous blood samples of 14 unrelated volunteers were collected. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technology was adopted for DNA extraction and ALDH2 genotyping. The volunteers were asked to drink beer at certain doses. The concentration of alcohol and acetaldehyde were assayed by headspace gas chromatography method at different time. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated.
RESULTS:
According to the results of electrophoresis, 5 people carried ALDH2*1/*1 as wild group and 9 people carried ALDH2*1/*2 as mutation group. The good linear range of alcohol and acetaldehyde were 0-1 570.7 microg/mL and 0-5.1772 microg/mL, respectively. The AUC values of alcohol and acetaldehyde and the t1/2Z value of alcohol were higher in the mutation group than that in the wild group. But the CL/F value of alcohol was lower in the mutation group than that in the wild group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
After the consumption of alcohol, alcohol and acetaldehyde metabolism in blood slow down in ALDH2*1/*2 mutation group influenced by the inhibition of enzyme activity, leading to the accumulation of acetaldehyde in peripheral blood, thus reinforcing their effects in the body.

BACKGROUNDThymosin beta-4 (TB-4) is considered key roles in tissue development, maintenance and pathological processes. The study aimed to prove TB-4 positive biological function on nucleus pulposus (NP) cell apoptosis and slowing the process of cell aging while increasing the cell proliferation.
METHODSTB-4 recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) was constructed and induced to human NP cells. Cell of same group were cultured without gene modification as controlled group. Proliferation capacity and cell apoptosis were observed during 6 passages of the cells. Morphology and expression of the TB-4 gene were documented as parameter of cell activity during cell passage.
RESULTSNP cells with TB-4 transfection has normal TB-4 expression and exocytosis. NP cells with TB-4 transfection performed significantly higher cell activity than that at the control group in each generation. TB-4 recombinant AAV-transfected human NP cells also show slower cell aging, lower cell apoptosis and higher cell proliferation than control group.
CONCLUSIONSTB-4 can prevent NP cell apoptosis, slow NP cell aging and promote NP cell proliferation. AAV transfection technique was able to highly and stably express TB-4 in human NP cells, which may provide a new pathway for innovation in the treatment of intervertebral disc degenerative diseases.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and to investigate the role of histone acetylation and acetylation-related enzymes in the pathogenesis of TOF.
METHODSMyocardial tissue samples in the TOF group were obtained from 46 children with TOF who underwent radical operation, and myocardial tissue samples in the control group were obtained from 16 children who suffered accidental deaths and had no cardiac anomalies as shown by autopsy. The acetylation of H3K9, H3K18 and H3K27 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of HATs and HDACs in the myocardium was measured by real-time PCR. The correlation between mRNA expression of HATs and HDACs and histone acetylation was analyzed.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, the TOF group showed significantly increased acetylation of H3K9 (P=0.0165) and significantly decreased acetylation of H3K18 (P=0.0048) and H3K27 (P=0.0084). As to 4 HATs and 6 HDACs, the mRNA expression of EP300 and CBP was significantly higher in the TOF group than in the control group (P=0.025; P=0.017), and there was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of other HATs and HDACs between the two groups. The correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between H3K9 acetylation and mRNA expression of EP300 (r=0.71, P<0.01) and CBP (r=0.72, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONSUpregulated mRNA expression of EP300 and CBP may be associated with increased H3K9 acetylation, suggesting that EP300 and CBP might affect cardiac development by regulating H3K9 acetylation.

With the advances in immunology and molecular biology, new recognition in the pathogenesis, progression, and metastasis of carcinoma have been achieved. Studies on gene therapy for pancreatic carcinoma have been attempted in different ways, such as inhibiting oncogene, activating tumor suppressor gene, inducing apoptosis, applying gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy, and immune activation. New specific target genes and further development of gene technology may bring the break-through in this field.

OBJECTIVETo study the protective effects of lycopene (LP) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by focal cerebral ischemia and oxidative stress in rats.
METHODS48 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into five groups: A (20 mg/kg LP), B (5 mg/kg LP), C (salad oil), D (salad oil) and E (basic feed control). A, B and C groups were given LP or salad oil orally for 15 d, then cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and D group was used as fake surgery control. The contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), lactic acid (LD) and the activities of nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) in cortex were measured at 24 h after reperfusion. The levels of HIF-1alpha mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA in hippocampi were determined by using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT- PCR) technique.
RESULTSROS levels of A, B, C, D and E groups were (114.23 +/- 18.91), (135.89 +/- 14.17), (171.37 +/- 25.76), (94.24 +/- 2.23) and (92.06 +/- 5.59) fluorescence intensity value/g protein, respectively (F = 9.038, P < 0.01); levels of NO were (6.60 +/- 0.77), (7.13 +/- 0.47), (8.38 +/- 0.80), (5.52 +/- 0.16) and (5.23 +/- 0.51) micromol/g protein respectively (F = 10.197, P < 0.01); levels of NOS were (0.817 +/- 0.016), (0.875 +/- 0.095), (1.030 +/- 0.101), (0.557 +/- 0.094) and (0.595 +/- 0.066) U/mg protein respectively (F = 14.555, P < 0.01); levels of LD were (0.381 +/- 0.069), (0.446 +/- 0.012), (0.576 +/- 0.059), (0.359 +/- 0.021) and (0.310 +/- 0.036) mmol/g protein respectively (F = 10.043, P < 0.01); HIF-1alpha mRNA expression levels in hippocampi were 0.865 +/- 0.274, 0.635 +/- 0.069, 0.491 +/- 0.067, 0.375 +/- 0.052 and 0.361 +/- 0.087, respectively (F = 40.520, P < 0.01); and Bcl-2 mRNA expression levels in hippocampi were 0.263 +/- 0.033, 0.330 +/- 0.028, 0.198 +/- 0.034, 0.304 +/- 0.039 and 0.236 +/- 0.025, respectively (F = 11.003, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe protective effects of LP may be related with its abilities of decreasing ROS and LD cumulation, alleviating inflammation and up-regulating the expression of protective genes.

OBJECTIVELandmark trials have demonstrated that statins can reduce the risk of coronary events. Despite the widespread use of statins in the settings of primary and secondary prevention of CHD, withdrawal of statins is a frequent problem in clinical practice. Several recent clinical studies have suggested that withdrawal of statin therapy might be associated with an increase in thrombotic vascular events and the onset of acute coronary syndromes. However, the effects of discontinuing of statins treatment on endothelial function and underlying mechanism are unknown. Objectives We investigated the effects after withdrawal of simvastatin on brachial artery endothelial function in patients unreached cholesterol target with coronary heart disease (CHD) or CHD risk factors.
METHODSWe included 33 patients with established CHD or CHD risk factors, whose serum cholesterol did not achieve NCEP target level. They were administered simvastatin (20 mg) for 4 weeks. Endothelial dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was assessed in the brachial artery using high-resolution ultrasound at baseline, after 4 weeks of simvastatin and after termination of therapy 1 week. We evaluated fasting serum lipid profiles and vasoactive substances simultaneously, included nitric oxide (NO), endothelin (ET), 6-keto-PGF1(alpha) and thromboxane B(2) (TXB(2)), which were measured as plasma prostacyclin and TXA(2) respectively.
RESULTSSimvastatin treatment reduced low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) levels and improved endothelial-dependent vasodilation in patients after 4 weeks. Withdrawal of simvastatin, however, FMD showed a significant reduction [(4.82 +/- 0.71)% vs (11.51 +/- 0.87)%, P < 0.01], that remained in low level after 1 week, and the FMD were even lower than the baseline values [(4.82 +/- 0.71)% vs (5.89 +/- 0.65)%, P < 0.01]. After terminating simvastatin treatment, serum NO and plasma 6-keto-PGF1(alpha) levels decreased, as well as plasma ET and serum LDL-C levels increased. But there was no significant difference between plasma TXB(2) levels before and after withdrawal of simvastatin (P > 0.05). Overall, there were significant positive correlations between withdrawal-induced changes in FMD and serum NO level (r = 0.674, P = 0.004), whereas no correlations were shown between the changes in FMD and serum LDL-C level (r = -0.414, P = 0.083).
CONCLUSIONSAbrupt withdrawal of simvastatin therapy resulted in the significant adverse impact on brachial artery endothelial function in patients unreached cholesterol target with CHD or CHD risk factors. Termination of therapy may suppress endothelial NO production and impair endothelial function that is independent of lipid-lowering effect.
