Objective To observe the influence degree of amlodipine on the blood vessel function and RAAS in patients with hypertension.Methods 80 patients with hypertension were collected as the study objects,all the patients were divided into the control group(enalapril group)of 40 cases and observation group(enalapril combined with amlodipine group)of 40 cases according to the principle of random distribution.Then the blood vessel function indexes and RAAS indexes of the two groups before and after the treatment were respectively detected and compared. Results Before the treatment,blood vessel function indexes and RAAS indexes of observation group and control group did not have significant differences.After treatment,blood vessel function indexes and RAAS indexes of the observation group[the eighth week:sVCAM-1(76.56 ±7.65)μg/L,vWF(66.75 ±7.84)%,ET-1(65.20 ± 6.46)ng/L,VEGF(43.39 ±5.20)ng/L,Ang-Ⅱ(90.51 ±9.46)ng/L,ALD(98.97 ±10.25)ng/L]were signifi-cantly lower than those of the control group[sVCAM-1(90.46 ±9.24)μg/L,vWF(80.41 ±9.21)%,ET -1 (75.35 ±7.46)ng/L,VEGF (54.18 ±5.57)ng/L,Ang-Ⅱ(107.84 ±11.46)ng/L,ALD (131.53 ±11.84)ng/L], there were significant differences between the two groups(all P<0.05 ).Conclusion The influence of amlodipine for the blood vessel function and RAAS of patients with hypertension are great,and it is helpful for the improvement of patients disease state.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the function of activator protein-1 (AP-1) in proliferation and collagen synthesis of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) in neonatal rats induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and to explore the mechanism of Qiangxin Decoction (QXD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, in reversing cardiac fibrosis. METHODS: CFs derived from neonatal rats were cultured with enzymatic dissociation, and fibrosis of the CFs was induced by TNF-alpha. The CFs were divided into normal control group, untreated group, 5% QXD-containing serum group, 10% QXD-containing serum group and 20% QXD-containing serum group. After 24-hour culture of QXD-containing serum, AP-1 mRNA was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction; proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs were assayed by thiazolyl blue assay (MTT) and measured by hydroxyproline respectively, in order to determine the effect of different dosage decoction on the proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs. RESULTS: After 24-hour stimulation of TNF-alpha in CFs, compared with those in normal control group, the expression of AP-1 mRNA and cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis increased significantly (P<0.05). However, Qiangxin Decoction could reduce the expression of AP-1 mRNA and decreased the proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Qiangxin Decoction can inhibit proliferation and collagen synthesis of CFs induced by TNF-alpha, and reverse cardiac fibrosis, which may be related to its down-regulation of the expression of AP-1.

Objective To investigate the effect of dichloroacetate on the expression of Kv1.5 in a rat model of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) .Methods Thirty-two male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 8 each): normal control group (group C), dichloroacetate control group (group D),PAH group, and PAH + dichloroacetate group (group PD). PAH was induced by left lung resection combined with subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline 60 mg/kg in PAH and PD groups. In group PD, dichloroacetate 80 mg/kg was given through a gastric tube into stomach once a day for 28 consecutive days after monocrotaline injection,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dichloroacetate in group PAH. Group D only received dichloroacetate 80 mg/kg through a gastric tube into stomach once a day for 28 consecutive days. Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) was measured at day 28 after monocrotaline injection. The rats were then sacrificed and lung tissues were removed to calculate the percentage of thickness of the tunica media of pulmonary artery and right venicular hypertrophy index and to determine the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Kv1.5 protein expression (by Western blot) and Kv1.5 mRNA expression (by RT-PCR).Results Compared with group C, the PAP,percentage of thickness of the tunica media, right ventricular hypertrophy index were significantly increased, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expression was down-regulated and PCNA expression was up-regulated in groups PAH and PD ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group PAH, the PAP, percentage of thickness of the tunica media, right ventricular hypertrophy index were significantly decreased, Kv1.5 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated and PCNA expression was down-regulated in group PD (P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned above between group C and group D ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Dichloroacetat alleviates PAH through upregulating Kv1.5 expression in lung tissues and inhibiting pulmonary vascular remodeling in rats.

Metabonom ics is an im portant branch of system biology follow ing the developm ent of ge-nom ics, transcriptom ics and proteom ics. It can perform high-throughput detection and data processing with multiple param eters, potentially enabling the identification and quantification of all sm all m etabolites in a biological system . It can be used to provide com prehensive inform ation on the toxicity effects, toxi-cological mechanisms and biom arkers, sensitively finding the unusual m etabolic changes caused by poi-son. This article mainly review s application of m etabonom ics in toxicological studies of abused drugs, pesticides, poisonous plants and poisonous anim als, and also illustrates the new direction of forensic toxi-cology research.

Oxidative stress has been demonstrated to be one of the important mechanisms for brain injury. Free radicals are one of the most important products following cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and intracerebral hemorrhage. They are the important markers for evaluating the 2 types of stroke injuries. At present, some relevant biomarkers of oxidative stress, such as lipid, DNA, protein peroxidation, antioxidant enzymes, and non-enzymatic antioxidant molecules as well as inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors, are increasingly receiving attention. This article reviews and evaluates the biomarkers of oxidative stress in stroke.

Objective To establish relative quantification in real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction to measure cytokine expression.Methods TNF? and GAPDH were used as target gene and internal reference respectively. Two gene fragment were cloned, vectors were purified and quantificated. Standard curves were established using a series dilution of quantificated plasmids to measure the amplification efficiency of TNF? and GAPDH. By changing reaction conditions, the amplification efficiency of two gene were nearly 100%. Ct value of TNF? and GAPDH were measured in 14 samples stimuteneously.Results The method can detected as low as 10 3 copies with the linear range was 10 3～10 9 copies, the intra assay and interassay variation was 1% and 8% respectively. TNF? increased 8 6～9 8 fold with the average 9 2 relative to untreated control group analyzed by the 2 -??Ct methods. Conclusions The method we established has fine sensitivity and reproducibility and the data analysis was simple and reliable and can be apply to any genes.
