Objective Research showed that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)receptor antagonist has good role of lowing-intraocular pressure.This study was to explore whether cultured human trabecular meshwork cells express AngⅡin vitro.MethodsThe human trabecular meshwork cells strains were cultured in DMEM+F12 medium containing 25% fetal bovine serum in vitro and passaged at the climbing sheet was prepared.The expression of AngⅡ in human trabecular meshwork cells was examined by immunohistochemistry,and AngⅡ protein was localized by Western blot.ResultsSubcultured cells showed spindle shape.AngⅡwas positively expressed in human trabecular meshwork cells by immunochemistry,showing the yellow-brown granule in cellular membrane and cytoplasm.A absence of response for AngⅡwas found in negative control sample.The band of AngⅡ protein was found at the relative molecular weight of 64 000 by Western blot.ConclusionThe result implies that human trabecular meshwork cells have the ability of synthesizing AngⅡ.It suggests that AngⅡ participates in the regulation of intraocular tension in glaucomous eye.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) late mRNA expression in megakaryoblast and in turn the pathogenesis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients with HCMV infection, and effectiveness of ganciclovir were investigated. Colony forming unit-megakaryocytes (CFU-MK) of 46 ITP patients with HCMV infection were incubated from patients' bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNC). Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was subsequently used for CFU-MK for HCMV-late mRNA detection. Ganciclovir therapy was given to both HCMV-late mRNA positive and negative groups for comparison of therapeutic effectiveness. The results in 19 of 46 CFU-MK culture cells specimens with positive HCMV-DNA by PCR or positive CMV-IgM by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the correspondent serum of peripheral blood were positive for HCMV-late mRNA. Sixteen out of 19, patients with positive HCMV-late mRNA CFU-MK had a positive response to ganciclovir. Amongst 27 patients with negative HCMV-late mRNA CFU-MK, only 4 positive responders to ganciclovir therapy were observed. Curative effectiveness of ganciclovir in HCMV-late mRNA positive group was significantly higher than that in HCMV-late mRNA negative group (P<0.01). It was suggested that HCMV could directly infect CFU-MK, which might be one of the mechanisms responsible for HCMV related ITP. The ganciclovir is an effective therapy in resulting in the increases in thrombocyte in the ITP patients whose HCMV- late mRNA was positive in their CFU-MK.

Objective:To explore whether perioperative intravenous flurbiprofen axetil can reduce the incidence and intensity of chronic pain for breast cancer atfer surgical treatment. Methods:This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial enrolled 60 patients undergoing mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection under general anesthesia. All patients accepted Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) tests the day before the surgery to evaluate depression and anxiety. hTe patients were randomly assigned to receive either 50 mg lfurbiprofen axetil intravenously 15 minutes before the surgical incision and 6 hours later (group F) or intravenous 5 mL intralipid as a control (group C). All patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with fentanyl postoperatively. Peripheral venous blood samples were drawn before the surgery, at 4 and 24 h atfer the surgery to detect the plasma level of PGE2 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Postoperative fentanyl consumption, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores and adverse effects were recorded at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h after the surgery. hTe duration and intensity of pain were followed up by telephone at the 2nd-12th month atfer the surgery. Results:The incidence of pain at 2, 4, 6, and 12 months after the breast surgery was 33%, 20%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, and the average pain score was 0.77, 0.57, 0.28, and 0.18, respectively. Compared with group C, the scores of pain in group F were significantly lower at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months postoperatively (F=7.758, P=0.007). The incidence of pain in group F was significantly lower at 2, 4 and 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pain between the groups at 12 months postoperatively (P>0.05). Preoperatively and at 4 and 24 h atfer the surgery, there was no signiifcant difference in the level of TNF-αbetween the two groups (F=0.530, P=0.470);but plasma concentration of PGE2 in group F was significantly lower than that in group C (F=5.646, P=0.021). No patients developed abnormal bleeding, peptic ulcer, impaired liver or renal function and respiratory depression. Conclusion:Perioperative intravenous infusion of 100 mg flurbiprofen axetil can decrease the intensity and incidence of chronic pain for breast cancer atfer surgical treatment.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) fingerprint of Rhodiola rosea medicinal materials was established, and used to distinguish the quality of raw materials from different sources. Pulse sequence for water peak inhibition was employed to acquire 1H-NMR spectra with the temperature at 298 K and spectrometer frequency of 400.13 MHz. Through subsection integral method, the obtained NMR data was subjected to similarity analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). 10 batches raw materials of Rhodiola rosea from different origins were successfully distinguished by PCA. The statistical results indicated that rhodiola glucoside, butyl alcohol, maleic acid and alanine were the main differential ingredients. This method provides an auxiliary method of Chinese quality approach to evaluate the quality of Rhodiola crenulata without using natural reference substances.

Objective To evaluate the influence of epimeric glycyrrhizic acid on production of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the lungs induced by ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury.Methods Twenty healthy long-ear white rabbits of both sexes, weighing 1.1-2.1kg were randomly divided into 2 groups: group I I/R alone ( n = 10) and group II I/R + epimeric glycyrrhizic acid (n = 10). The animals were anesthetized with thiopental 25 mg?kg-1 and tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated (FiO2 = 100% , VT = 10-13 ml?kg, RR = 20-30 bpm, I:E= 1: 1.2). Anesthesia was maintained with fentanyl, thiopental and vecuronium. Femoral artery was cannulated for continuous direct BP monitoring. MAP was maintained at 70-90 mm Hg during experiment. Right interval jugular vein was cannulated. Catheter was inserted into right atrium for fluid administration, blood sampling and right atrial pressure monitoring. Chest was opened and the hilum of right lung was mass-ligated to induce ischemia for 60 min and then released for reperfusion for 60 min. Epimeric glycyrrhizic acid 30 mg?kg-1 was given iv 30 min before ischemia of the right lung. Blood samples were taken from right atrium and femoral artery for determination of ET-1 concentration before ischemia of right lung (T0) and 1 and 5 min after right lung started being perfused (T1 , T2). At the end of 60 min reperfusion of the right lung, the animals were sacrificed and lungs (right and left) were removed for electron microscopic examination. Results In group 1 at T, the ET-1 levels in the blood from both femoral artery and right atrium were significantly higher than the baseline (T0) and the ET-1 concentration in the blood from femoral artery was significantly higher than that from right atrium. In group II there was no significant difference in blood ET-1 concentration between T0 and T, .Conclusion Ischemia-reperfusion induces increased production of ET-1 in the injured lung. Epimeric glycyrrhizic acid can inhibit the increase in the production of ET-1 in the induced by I/R.
