The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate in mavalonic acid pathway, which is the first committed step for isoprenoid biosynthesis in plants. However, it still remains unclear whether HGMR gene plays a role in the isoprenoid biosynthesis in Dendrobium officinale, an endangered epiphytic orchid species. In the present study, a HMGR encoding gene, designed as DoHMGR1 (GenBank accession JX272632), was identified from D. officinale using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) methods, for the first time. The full length cDNA of DoHMGR1 was 2 071 bp in length and encoded a 562-aa protein with a molecular weight of 59.73 kD and an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.18. The deduced DoHMGR1 protein, like other HMGR proteins, constituted four conserved domains (63-561, 147-551, 268-383 and 124-541) and two transmembrane motifs (42-64 and 85-107). Multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that DoHMGR1 had high identity (67%-89%) to a number of HMGR genes from various plants and was closely related to Vanda hybrid cultivar, rice and maize monocots. Real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis revealed that DoHMGR1 was expressed in the three included organs. The transcripts were the most abundant in the roots with 2.13 fold over that in the leaves, followed by that in the stems with 1.98 fold. Molecular characterization of DoHMGR1 will be useful for further functional elucidation of the gene involving in isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway in D. officinale.

Objective To investigate the vascular effect of hydroxyl-safflor yellow A(HSYA) on rat thoracic aorta and its underlying mechanism. Methods The tension of isolated thoracic aorta rings of rats perfused with different concentrations of HSYA(1?10-6-1?10-4 mol/L) was measured using organ bath technique.The effects of HSYA on the vasocontraction induced by cumulative phenylephrine(PE)(1?10-6-1?10-4 mol/L),KCl(6?10-2 mol/L) and CaCl2(1?10-5-3?10-3 mol/L) were recorded respectively. Results HSYAcaused a concentration-dependent anti-contraction effects by KCl or PE in endothelium-intact and endothelium-denuded aortic rings.HSYA inhibited the CaCl2-induced contraction and downward shifted concentration-response curve of aortic rings.HSYA+HP resulted in more significant anti-contraction effect than single use of HSYA(P0.05).There were significant differences in anti-contraction effect between HSYA+RR and RR or HSYA(P

Objective To analyze clinical features and sum up experience for the treatment of ischemic bowel disease. Methods Clinical data of 73 patients with the diagnosis of ischemic bowel disease were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsTwenty-eight patients were male and 45 patients were female. The median of age was 65 years (range of 38 to 89 years). Forty-eight patients were associated with hypertension, 23%(17/73) patients had a history of coronary disease and 15% (11/73) had diabetes. Seventy patients presented symptom of abdominal pain and 93% (68/73) had hematochezia. Symptoms relieved by conservative treatment in 96% (63/66) patients. Nine patients underwent a surgery. One patient died of sepsis postoperatively. One suffered from colostomy necrosis and leakage of the rectum segment. Conclusion 1. Elder patients presenting symptoms of abdominal pain and hematochezia, especially with a history of cardio-cerebrovascular disease and diabetes should be considered for the possibility of ischemic bowel disease. 2. Most patients with ischemic bowel disease could be successfully treated by conservative therapy. 3. Surgery for patients with chronic relapsing and nonresponsible symptoms was difficult and patients often suffer from high postoperative complications.

ObjectiveTo assess the protective effect of ischemic postconditioning in different ways after rabbit's testis completely torsion and detorsion and to assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) in it.MethodsForty male white rabbits were divided into 5 groups randomly:a control group,directly perfusion group (R),ischemic postconditioning groups (IP1,IP2 and IP3),with 8 in each.The acute testicular hemodynamic disorder models were established in R,IP1,IP2,IP3 groups by completely blocking the left testicular blood flow for 4 hours,then group R was directly subjected to perfusion,group IP1 was subjected to 15 s release and 15 s occlusion (15 s/15 s),IP2 was subjected to 30 s/ 30 s,IP3 was subjected to 45 s/45 s,each group was taken 3 cycles.All the groups underwent CEUS before operation and after 3 days,examined for the contents of malonaldehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD) and histology,and observed for the pathobgieal changes of the testicular tissue.ResultsThe CEUS parameters of bilateral testes showed no significantly difference in all group before operation( P >0.05),3 days after reperfusion.The half of declining time of intensity was extended significantly in all operation groups comparing with control group (P < 0.05),but the difference of peak and base intensity were increased in group IP1 and IP2,comparing with control group( P <0.05).The contents of MDA and SOD were remarkable differences in group IP1,IP2 comparing with group R and IP3 ( P < 0.05).Johnsen' s score,apoptosis index showed significantly differences in group IP1,IP2 comparing with group R and IP3 (P < 0.05).ConclusionsMicrocirculation of the complete torsion testicular was significantly improved by ischemic postconditioning after reperfusion,and the effects of ischemic postconditioning could be evaluated by CEUS.

Objective To explore the effect of self-made venous compressor on hemostasis after withdrawing femoral vein catheter in patients with liver failure.Methods 200 patients with liver failure undergoing femoral venous intubation were divided randomly into observation group and control group in equal number.Hemostasis was performed after withdrawing the catheter using the self-made venous compressor and bandage combined with pressure dressing in the former and latter group respectively.The two groups were compared in terms of the complication rate,time for hemostasis manipulation and time limb immobilization.Results The rate of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group.The time for hemostasis manipulation and time for limb immobilization in the observation group were both significantly shorter than those of the control group(P<0.01). Conclusion Performance of hemostasis using self-made venous compressor may lower the rate of complication from withdrawing femoral vein catheter and shorten the time for hemostasis manipulation and the time for limb immobilization.
