I sopropylmine vanillinate (IV) given iv 5 , 10 mg/kg in anesthe tized rats produced a dose-dependent decrease in mean arterial pressure and a concomitant decrease in heart rate.In pithed rats IV was unable to shift the phenylephrine doserespon-se curve to the right, but prazosine caused 53-fold shift.No direct effect of vasodilation was shown by IV on rabbit aorta strips .The concentration-response curve of isoprenaline in isolated rat right atrium was competitively inhibited by IV and propranolol. pA2 value was 4.0 for IV and 8.2 for propranolol. In addition, 'IV depressed contractility & heart rate of isolated rat atria.These results suggest that the hypotensive action of IV may be related to the decrease of HR, inhibition of contractility and slight blocking of B-adrenergic receptor. However the mechanism underlying the hypotensive effect of IV is to be further studied.

Benzyltetrahydropalmatine ( BTHP ) which is a derivative of tet-rahydropalmatine, induced concentration-dependent decreases of the APA & dV/dt max and prolongation of conduction delay (CD) in toad sciatic neural action potential while it has little effect on APD.Bloocking action of Na+ -channel was measured with the dose required to produce 50% diminution of the value of APA, ie,EC50. EC50 of BTHP was 2.8 folds less than that of lidocaine and 11.9 folds more than that of quinidine, reflecting blocking action of Na+ -channel by BTHP, lidocaine, quinidine respectively.

The action of BTHP on a-adrenoceptor was studied in anococcy-geus muscles, vas deferens and cell membrane of cerebral cortex of rats and aortic strips, saphenous vein of rabbit. BTHP produced parallel shifts to the right of dose-response curves for phenylephrine in rat anococcygeus muscle and rabbit aortic strips without change in the maximal responses. Their pA2 values were 5.8 and 5.86 respectively. BTHP was also a competitive antagonist for presynaptic and postsynaptic ?2-adrenoceptors on prostatic portion of rat vas deferens( pA2 against clonidine=5.2 ) and on rabbit saphenous vein ( pA2 against B-HT920=5.3 ) . BTHP decreased in dose-dependent manner 〔8H〕 prazosin and 〔3H〕 clonidine specific binding to ?1- and ?2- adrenoceptors on cell membrane of cerebral cortex in rats with IC50 of4 and 9.5 ?mol/L and with Ki ( apparent dissociation constant ) of 3.5 and 8.1?mol/L respectively, suggeating that BTHP has affinity for both ?1 and ?2- adrenoceptors of rat cerebrance.

There are some widely discussed issues on xenotransplatation, such as animals'moral rights, allocation of medical resources and endangering public health,etc. The article raises four critical ethical issues, e.g. harm-benefit thresholds, informed consent from research patients, informed consent from third-party groups and oversight and approval of clinical trials as the prerequisites to initiation of clinical trials of xenotransplatation.

Objective To study the effect of lentivirus-mediated CCL5-RNAi on the biological behaviors of human breast cancer cells. Methods CCL5-specific siRNA gene was synthesized and cloned into the recombinant lentiviral vector, pGCSIL-GFP. Human high-metastatic breast cancer cells, MDA-MB-231, were infected by CCL5-siRNA recombinant lentivirus, which was set as KD group. Cells infected with CCL5-NC was as NC group, and cells cultured was as CON group. The expression of CCL5 mRNA and protein in MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Cell growth suppression and cell cycle was observed by MTT assay and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). Colony formation and migration ability were determined by colony-rorming assay and Boyden chamber method. Results After infection of CCL5-siRNA recombinant lentivirus, the expression level of CCL5 mRNA and protein in MDA-MB-231 cells as well as the colony formation and migration ability decreased significantly, but cell's proliferation was not affected obviously. Compared with MDA-MB-231 (0.88± 0.15) and MDA-MB-231/CCL5-NC (1.00±0.07) cells, the expression of CCL5 mRNA in MDA-MB-231/ CCL5-siRNA decreased to 0.18±0.03, P<0.01. Compared with MDA-MB-231/CCL5-NC (1.82±0.18) cells, the expression of CCL5 protein in MDA-MB-231/CCL5-siRNA decreased to 0.33±0.13, P <0.01. Colony-forming assay and Boyden chamber method showed that the colony formation and migration ability of MDA-MB-231/CCL5-siRNA decreased markedly (P<0.05). The clone count in KD group was (0.33± 0.10), which was a significant decrease from (0.97±0.09) (NC group) and (1.04±0.07) (CON group), P<0.05. The number of cells that migrated through the chamber membrane of KD group (38± 15) was less than that of NC group (77±11, P <0.05) and CON group (69±9, P <0.05). However, MTT assay and FACS revealed that the proliferation of MDA-MB-231/CCL5-siRNA was not different from MDA-MB-231/CCL5-NC and MDA-MB-231 (P>0.05), the proliferation index (PI) of group KD, NC and CON were (0.48±0.02), (0.44±0.05) and (0.47±0.02) respectively. The difference was not statistically significant by multiple comparison (P>0.05). Conclusion CCL5-specific siRNA can specifically suppress the colony formation and migration of human high-matastatic breast cancer cells.

AIM To investigate the effect of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) on ion channels of myocytes. METHODS L-type calcium channel and sodium channel currents were recorded in guinea pig single ventricular myocyte using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques. RESULTS 4-AP, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mmol*L-1 were shown to inhibit L-type calcium channel currents (ICa,L) and sodium channel currents (INa) concentration-dependently. The percentage of inhibition were (11.6±1.7)%, (37.5±8.3)% and (54.5±6.9)% (P<0.01) respectively for ICa,L, and (22.1±14.3)% (P<0.05), (39.4±8.8)% and (62.3±6.8)% (P<0.01) respectively for INa. 4-AP 0.5 mmol*L-1 shifted the I-V curves of ICa,L and INa upwardly. CONCLUSION 4-AP blocked L-type calcium channel and sodium channels in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes concentration-dependently.
