Objective:To research on the immune recognition mechanism of synthetic pyrethroids and generic specific antibody.Methods:We studied on quantitative structure-activity relationship ( QSAR ) of synthetic pyrethroids and their analogs as well as antibody activity ( IC50:fifty percent inhibition concentration ) using stepwise multiple linear regression method.Based on calculating structure descriptors of synthetic pyrethroids and their analogs , two-demensional QSAR ( 2D-QSAR ) model was established.The main factors affecting antibody activity were screened using 2D-QSAR,and predictive ability of QSAR models were evaluated by the method of leave-one-out( LOO) cross-validation.Meanwhile, the structure parameters of synthetic pyrethroid fragments were calculated and then analyzed using partial least squares ( PLS) assay.And then hologram QSAR ( H-QSAR) model was constructed on molecular substructure and antibody activity.The fragments contribution to antibody activity were illustrated by encoding different colors.Results:Decision coefficent (R2) of 2D-QSAR model and HQSAR model were 0.920 and 0.917 individually,cross-validation coefficient ( Q2 ) of two QSAR models were 0.875 and 0.660 respectively ,which showed two models had good predictive abil-ity.The result from 2D-QSAR model was also obtained that smaller was hydrophobicity of pyrethroids , easier was recognized by antibody.In addition,the optimum HQSAR model was constructed after we tried many combinations of these parameters .The fragment size in optimum HQSAR model was between 4 to 10,a hologram length was 61,optimum principle component was 4,and the fragment type of B/C/Ch was selected.However ,the fingerprint encoded results of synthetic pyrethroids weren′t consistent completely with exper-imental IC50 values.Conclusion:Hydrophobicity of synthetic pyrethroids is the largest correlation factors in antibody recognization .

Neuropathic pain (NP) that contributes to the comorbidity between pain and depression is a clinical dilemma. Neuroinflammatory responses are known to have potentially important roles in the initiation of NP and depressive mood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of paeoniflorin (PF) on NP-induced depression-like behaviors by targeting the hippocampal neuroinflammation through the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)uclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) signaling pathway. We used a murine model of NP caused by unilateral sciatic nerve cuffing (Cuff ). PF was injected intraperitoneally once a day for a total of 14 days. Pain and depression-like behavior changes were evaluated via behavioral tests. Pathological changes in the hippocampus of mice were observed by H&E staining. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines in the hippocampus were detected using ELISA. Activated microglia were measured by immunohistochemical staining. The TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathwayassociated protein expression in the hippocampus was detected by western blotting. We found that the PF could significantly alleviate Cuff-induced hyperalgesia and depressive behaviors, lessen the pathological damage to the hippocampal cell, reduce proinflammatory cytokines levels, and inhibit microglial over-activation. Furthermore, PF downregulated the expression levels of TLR4/NF-kB signaling pathwayrelated proteins in the hippocampus. These results indicate that PF is an effective drug for improving the comorbidity between NP and depression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of urapidil on myocardial reperfusion and cardiac function during primary percutenons coronary intervention (PCI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.Methods 54 AMI patients undergoing primary PCI were randomized to intracoronary urapidil (n=27) and nitroglycerin (n=27) group.When blood flow grade TIMI-l or more appeared in the infarct related artery (IRA) before or after percutenous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA),urapidil (12.5 mg) or nitroglycerin (0.2 mg) was given intracoronary and then stents were implanted as needed.TIMI blood flow,no reflow/slow floW,corrected TIMl frame count (cTFC),myocardial blush grade (MBG),ST resolution (STR) on ECG, peak of creatine kinase (CK),cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were observed before and after PCI.Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured 24 hours and 30 days after PCI and MACE including death,reinfartion,revascularization in hospital were observed. Resuits Urapidil group compared to the nitroglycerin group,cTFC (18.38±3.30 vs.21.44±4.26,P=0.005) decreased and MBG (P=0.040) improved.STR in the urapidil group improved significantly compred to the nitroglycerin group (93% vs.70%,P=0.038).LVEF of 24 hours and 30 days after PCI in the urapidil group was higher than that ofthe nitroglycerin group (0.55±0.05 vs.0.52±0.06,P=0.021 and 0.58±0.06 vs 0.54±0.06,P=O.041,respectively).Peak CK (1895.26±1239.02 vs.1269.96±515.84,P=0.021) and peak TnT (5.81±5.27 vs 3.64±2.35,P=0.050) in the urapidil group decreased more significantly than that of the nitroglycerin group.No difference of MACE was found in the two groups.Conclusion Intracoronary urapidil administration adjunct to primary PCI in AMI ameliorates coronary blood flow and myocardial perfusion, improves ventricular function,and reduce the infarct size and does not incllase the incidence of complications during hospitalization.
