The polymorphisms of paraoxonase 1 ( PON 1 ) and ApoE gene in 192 patients with type 2diabetes mellitus (DM group) , 116 cases of atherosclerosis (AS) without DM (AS group), and 105 normal subjects (NC group ) were detected by means of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The serum concentration of Ox-LDL was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The results showed that plasma Ox-LDL level in DM group was higher than those in AS and NC groups[(754.2±279.9 vs 526. 1±186.2 and 421.1 ± 163.2 )μg/L, P<0.01]. Ox-LDL level in the patients with QQ genotype of PON 1 was higher than those in QR and RR genotypes in type 2 DM[(846.6±147.5 vs 763.4±126. 7 and 7 1 3.2 ±132.4 ) μg/L, P<0. 0l],and Ox-LDL level in the patients with ε3/4+ ε4/4 genotype of ApoE was also higher than those in ε3/3 and ε2/2 + ε2/3 geneotypes in type 2 DM[( 824.3 ± 173.5 vs 741.6± 182. 5 and 718.3 ± 167.5 ) μg/L, P<0.05], but the difference was not found in atherosclerosis without DM. Multiple regression analysis showed that disease duration, PON1 and ApoE genotypes were the independent predictors of plasma Ox-LDL level in patients with type 2 DM.

Objective To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture at Sanyinjiao (SP6) and Yinlingquan (SP9) on muscle repair in the gastrocnemius muscle damaged rats and its possible mechanism. Methods 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into blank group (n=10), model group (n=10) and electroacupuncture group (n=10). The latter 2 groups were modeled with gastrocnemius muscle crush injury. The electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture at Sanyinjiao and Yinlingquan for 14 days. Their gastrocnemius was observed with HE staining, and the expressions of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in gastroc-nemius tissues and the serum were determined with immunochemical assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Compared with the model group, there was less damage in the electroacupuncture group, with more expression of bFGF and IGF-1 in tis-sues (P<0.01) and serum (P<0.05). Conclusion Electroacupuncture can promote muscle repair after gastrocnemius muscle damage in rats, which may be related to the increase of the bFGF and IGF-1 expression in gastrocnemius tissue and serum.

AIM To investigate the effects of honokiol on ischemic neurological deficiency and on the scavenging ability of ischemia reperfusion (I-R) brain tissue for reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODSCerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. I-R in mice were induced by blood stream pause in bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 min and reperfusion for 30 min. The activities of ROS scavenging enzymes were determined with colorimetric methods. RESULTS Intravenous honokiol in 5-50 μg·kg-1 significantly decreased the neurological deficiency score, and diminished cerebral infarction volume in rats. In I-R brain tissue of mice, intravenous honokiol in 7-70 μg·kg-1 evidently enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and peroxidase, and markedly lowered lipid peroxidative product malondialdehyde content. Moreover honokiol significantly increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in I-R brain tissue. CONCLUSION Honokiol ameliorates the neurological deficiency behavior and diminishes infarction volume in MCAO rats; and enhances cerebral scavenging ability for ROS and Na+-K+-ATPase activity in cerebral I-R mice. It is indicated that honokiol is a protective agent for cerebral ischemia and I-R.
