International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(4):270-272
Objective: To investigate the changes of serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) and plasma D-dimer levels and their relationship with the volume of cerebral infarc-tion in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods: The levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer in the cerebral infarction group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.05); as compared with the patients with moderate infarction (5-10 cm3) and small infarction (≤ 5 cm3), the levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer in patients with large cerebral infarction (≥ 10 cm3 ) increased significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Measuring the levels of serum hs-CRP and plasma D-dimer may contribute to the early diagnosis of cerebral infarction and the prediction of the volume of cerebral infarction.

Chinese Journal of Sports Medicine 2017;36(7):586-593
Objective To compare the different effects of endurance and exhaustive exercises on hepcidin in the blood and liver,and determine the changes of related indexes about iron metabolism and hypoxia response,and of inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors.Methods Thiry female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=10),an endurance exercise group (n=10) and an exhaustive exercise group (n=10).Then 4 weeks of endurance and exhaustive treadmill training were given to different exercise groups respectively.Blood samples were collected,the routine indexes of the whole blood,and the serum indexes about iron metabolism,hypoxia response,inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors were measured.Meanwhile,liver samples were fixed,embedded and sliced,and the expression of hepcidin,hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and nuclear factor of kappa b (NF-κB) of different groups were measured using the immunochemistry staining.Results Compared with the control group,after 4-week endurance exercises,there was significant increase in the concentration of erythropoietin (EPO),but significant differences in the level of serum hepcidin and interleukin 6 (IL-6).However,after 4 weeks of exhaustive exercise,significant increase was observed in the level of hepcidin and the expression of HIF-1α in the serum and liver,as well as the serum interleukin 1 (IL-1),IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α and C reactive protein,but significant decrease was found in the concentration of serum EPO and the level of serum TF and sTFR compared to the control group.Moreover,there was significant increase in the level of toll-like receptor 4 and NF-κB,which is correlated with the antimicrobial peptide activity of hepcidin compared between the exhaustive and control group.Conclusions Four-week endurance exercise down-regulates the level of serum hepcidin,while 4-week exhaustive exercise increases the hepcidin level in the serum and liver significantly.Therefore,different exercises can result in totally different effect on the hepcidin level.
5. Effects of TFC on the right ventricle papillary muscles of guinea pig
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2002;18(2):226-229
AIM: To study the mechanism of effects about total flavones of choeropondias axillaris (TFC) to heart. METHODS: The effects of TFC on contractility were investigated through acting on the guinea pig right ventricle papillary muscles. RESULTS: TFC decreased both the contractility and contraction rate of papillary muscles. The quantity-effect curve of CaCl2 was shifted to right after giving TFC. TFC 30.4 μmol·L-1 prolonged remarkably the functional refractory period (FRP) of guinea pig right ventricle papillary muscles, but exerted no effect on excitability. CONCLUSION: TFC can inhibit the Ca2+ influx into cell in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective:To explore the possible relationship between recurrent aphthous ulcer( RAU) and the single nucleotide polymor-phism(SNP)of IFN-γ+874A/T site and IL-2-330T/G site. Methods:138 RAU patients and the 124 health control subjects were in-cluded. IFN-γand IL-2 serum concentration were detected by ELISA. IFN-γ+874A/T site and IL-2-330T/G site of the whole blood were detected by RFLP-PCR and SSP-PCR. Results:IFN-γand IL-2 levels in serum of the patients were significantly lower than those of the controls(P<0. 05). There was significant difference in the genotype frequencies and allele frequencies of IFN-γ+874A/T site between the 2 groups(P<0. 05). The AA genotype(OR=9. 964)and the A allele (OR=3. 801) at the IFN-γ+874A/T site was with high-risk of RAU. Carry A allele in patients with risk of RAU was to carry the T allele of 3. 801 times. There was no significant differ-ence in the genotype frequencies or allele frequencies of IL-2-330T/G site between the 2 groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion: IFN-γ+874A/T site was associated with the risk of RAU. But,IL-2-330T/G site was not.

?-adrenoceptor,whose subtypes ?1-and ?2-adrenoceptor are expressed on panreatic cancer cells,is closely related to the occurrence and development of pancreatic cancer.?-adrenoceptor agonists epirenamine,isopropylarterenol and the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK) induce pancreatic cancer proliferation.Research on the molecular mechanism is as follows: Activating ?-receptor can stimulate protein kinase A(PKA)/arachidonic acid(AA) pathway in pancreatic cancer cells.NNK also stimulates mutation of Ras and the activation of Src tyrosine kinase and Ras,followed by activation of mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) pathway.?-adrenoceptor can make the epidermal growth factor(EGFR) pathway transactivated,and the EGFR and ?-adrenergic signalling pathways might synergize to activate Src and Ras.Increased evidence suggests that patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma share many risk factors,such as smoking and chronic depression,with cardiovascular disease patients.Drugs to block ?-adrenoceptor in cardiovascular diseases might be used for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer.
