Aim To investigate the reversal of resistance to doxorubicin by CJZ3,a lomerizine derivative,in doxorubicin-resistant human myelogenous leukemia(K562/DOX)cells.Methods The effect of CJZ3 on P-glycoprotein(P-gp)function and resistance to doxorubicin in K562/DOX cells were observed by using flow cytometry and MTT assay.Results CJZ3 increased intracellular uptake and accumulation of rhodamine123(Rh123)in K562/DOX cells in a concentration-related manner,significantly inhibited the efflux of Rh123 from the cells,and increased the doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity,apoptosis rate,Caspase-3 activity in doxorubicin-treated cells and the intracellular accumulation of doxorubicin.Conclusions The reversed effect of CJZ3 on resistance to doxorubicin in K562/DOX cells was associated with its inhibitory effect on P-gp function in vitro.

Objective To explore the effects of kurorinone on the serum level of TNF-? and IL-6 in the patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods 87 patients with CHB were randomly divided into groups A and B. Patients in group A (n=45) and group B (n=42) received kurorinone and diammonium glycyrrhizin treatment, respectively, for 3 months. The liver histopathological changes were observed, and liver function and the serum level of TNF-? and IL-6 in the patients with CHB were detected after treatment. Results Compared with group B, liver injury and liver function of the patients in group A were obviously ameliorated, and the serum level of TNF-? and IL-6 significantly decreased (P

Objective To evaluate the effects of kurorinone combined with thymosin on the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Methods 178 patients with chronic hepatitis B were randomly divided into group A, B and C. 64 patients in group A received kurorinone combined with thymosin for 3 months. 58 patients in group B received kurorinone only, and 56 patients in group C received thymosin only. Results At the end of treatment, HBeAg and HBV DNA negative-transformed rates were respectively 51.8% and 53.6% in group A, but 32.7% and 34.6% in group B, 21.6% and 21.6% in group C, the differences were statistically significant (P

Objective To examine the effects of intracerebroventricular administration of adrenomedullin (AM) on the expression of Fos and spontaneous electric activity of area postrema (AP) neurons in sino-aortic denervated rats. Methods To determine the expression of Fos and the spontaneous electrical activity of AP neurons in male Sprague-Dawley rats by immunohistochemistry. Results Following Intracerebroventricular administration of AM (1 nmol/kg, 3 nmol/kg), Fos-like immunoreactive (Fos-LI) neurons and the discharge rate of AP neurons markedly increased. Pretreatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) receptor antagonist CGRP8-37 (30 nmol/kg) significantly inhibited the effects of AM (3 nmol/kg). Conclusion AM may activate the neurons in AP via CGRP receptors.

We examined the effects of intracerebroventricular ( i. c. v) administration of adrenomedullin (ADM) on catecholaminergic neurons and the expression of c-fos gene in rat brain nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation using double immunohistochemical method for Fos and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). The results showed that: ( 1 ) Following icy administration of ADM (3 nmol/kg) , double-labeled neurons for Fos and TH were significantly increased in the area postrema ( AP), the nucleus of the solitary tract ( NTS), the nucleus paragigantocelluaris laterialis (PGL) and the locus coeruleus (LC). (2) Pretreatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonis CGRP8-37 (30 nmol/kg) significantly reduced the action of ADM (3 nmol/kg) in the brain. The present study suggested that ADM might activate the neurons of the brain nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation, and supported the hypothesis that the central action of ADM were induced by activating the catecholaminergic neurons of brainstem nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation, CGRP receptor might mediate the effects of ADM.

BACKGROUND: It is discovered by administrating different emetics to vomiting animals, like cats, that there are a large amount of Fos positive neuronal expressions in the arc region from nucleus of solitary tract, lateral tegmentum to ventrolateral area. And it has been viewed that the arc region from area postrema, nucleus of solitary tract to ventrolateral reticular structure is the main emetic region. Whether do the non-vomiting animals reflect in response or not after emetic injection?OBJECTIVE: To observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in relevant emetic regions of brain and spinal cord in rats after abdominal injection of emetic, cisplatin.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment based on animals.SETTING: Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Neural Physiological Research Room of Life Science College in Hebei Normal University and Physiological Room of Basic Medicine Institute in Hebei Medical University from March to August 2003. Twelve SD male rats were employed, body weighted varied from 220 to 250 g, of clean-grade. They were randomized into experimental group of 6 rats and the control of 6 rats.INTERVENTIONS: In experimental group, the emetic, cisplatin, was injected abdominally 10 mg/kg. In the control, the physiological saline of same dose was injected. Afterwards, the activity changes in rats were observed at room temperature, quiet and light-avoided environment. Six hours later, the brain tissue was collected for frozen continuous sectioning. Immunohistochemical staining method was used to observe the distribution of Fos positive neurons in brainstem and forebrain nuclei and to count positive cell.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Behavior observation in rats after emetic injection. ② Counts of Fos positive cell in relevant regions of brain in rats.RESULTS: Twelve rats all entered result analysis. ① In 20 minutes after injection, the rats in both groups were in tranquilizing state, lying prone with body curled, almost without any movement. In 60 minutes after injection, the rats in the control were recovered to normal, free of eating or drinking. The rats in experimental group were in prone-lying state with body curled. They rose up or shook the heads occasionally, and they breathed fast and uneven.In 2 hours after injection, in experimental group, the rats were still in abdominal prone tightly in the cage, with heads lowed and irregular shaking of noses. In 5 hours, the rats in experimental group began standing up and moving, with normal breathing, but they still did not eat or drink. ② Fos positive neurons in solitary tract, area postrema and lateral parabrachial nucleus and paraventricular nucleus, supraoptic nucleus and arc nucleus in hypothalamus (64.3 ±9.6, 83.4 ±15.0, 148.8 ±19.9, 80. 2 ± 11.8, 20.7 ±3.8, 86. 6 ± 10.8) were remarkably higher than those in the control(56. 2 ±6.3,73.5±9.9,136.9±17.8,66. 1±10.3,17.3±3.4,78.8±10.5).CONCLUSION: Emetics induce discomforts in internal organs of rats, due to which, there probably exist emetic regions similar to vomiting animals in central neural system. But it is probably lack of vomiting-related adjusting mechanism. Emetics irritate the increase of Fos positive neurons in relevant regions in the brain of rat, which suggests that there exist relevant neural chemical pathways similar to nausea in the brain of non-vomiting rats.

Objective To investigate the status of fatigue and depression and their influencing factors in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and analyse the correlation of fatigue, depression and self-management behavior. Methods 113 patients were investigated by using Fatigue Symptom Inventory (FSI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Coronary artery disease Self-management Scale (CSMS). Results The score of fatigue was (4.59±1.93)points, while depression scored (5.05±1.48)points and self-management behavior scored (57.29 ±8.29)points; the score of fatigue, depression of female patients were higher than that of male patients, which had statistical difference(t=2.535-5.894, P<0.05);Regression analysis showed that gender, time of illness, number of other chronic diseases were major factors affecting fatigue while gender and treatment method were major factors affecting depression; there were negative ralationships between self-management and fatigue, self-management and depression (r=-0.855-0.682). Conclusions Fatigue, depression are common in patients with acute coronary syndrome, and can affect their self-management behavior, and the female patients are more susceptible to fatigue and depression.
