Objective To investigate the effect of allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on the cardiac structure and function in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, and stem cells group, 10 rats in each group. The model group received left coronary artery ligation to induce acute myocardial infarction, and the stem cells group received myocardial injection of stem cells after coronary artery ligation. After four weeks, cardiac function and heart tissue pathological changes were observed. Results In the model group, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume and end dias-tolic volume were increased, and left ventricular ejection fraction, left ventricular fractional shortening rate and cardiac output were decreased as compared with the normal group and the stem cells group (P < 0. 05). The results of pathologi-cal examination showed that myocardiac fibers dissolved or even disappeared, and fibric proliferation and sear occurred in the model group; in the stem cells group, the arrangement of myocardiae fibers was in disorder and there were a few pro-liferated fibers and scar compared with the normal group. Conclusion Allogeneic bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation can improve the cardiac structure and function in rat model of acute myocardial infarction.

Objective Scutellarin (SCU), a Chinese traditional medicine, has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induced myocardial injury, but it is not yet clear whether SCU acts against vascular endothelial IR injury via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2).The aim of this study was to explore the effect of SCU on hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)-induced injury to human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) and its influence on the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.Methods HCMECs were subjected to normal culture and divided into a normal control, a DMSO, an SCU 1 μmol/L, and an SCU 10 μmol/L group.The model of HR injury was established by exposing the HCMECs to 12-h hypoxia and 12-h reoxygenation after treated with DMSO or SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L for 2 hours.Then, the survival rate of the HCMECs was detected by MTT and trypan blue staining, the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the cells measured, and the expressions of the p-ERK1/2, ERK2 and GAPDH proteins determined by Western blot.Results SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L significantly increased the survival rate of the normally cultured HCMECs ([110.40±2.34] and [122.00±1.25] ％) as compared with that of the normal control (100％) (P<0.05), while HR injury markedly decreased the vitality of the HCMECs ([68.00±4.06] ％) in comparison with that of the blank control (100％) (P<0.05).The survival rate of the HCMECs was remarkably higher in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups than in the HR model group ([90.53±3.67] and [92.04±2.32] ％) (P<0.05), and so was their vitality in the SCU 10 μmol/L group than in the normal control ([96.78±2.01] vs [90.06±1.85] ％, P<0.01), while their survival rate was significantly lower in the HR model than in the blank control ([73.72±4.91] vs [91.83±2.34] ％, P<0.01) and remarkably higher in the SCU 10 μmol/L ([87.59±2.64] ％) than in the HR model group (P<0.05).The MDA concentration in the HCMECs was markedly increased in the HR model and HR+DMSO groups as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but decreased in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups in comparison with the HR model group (P<0.05).The expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein was significantly down-regulated in the HR model group as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but up-regulated in the HR+SCU 10 μmol/L group in comparison with the HR model (P<0.01).Conclusion HR injury reduces the vitality of HCMECs, increases the MDA concentration, and down-regulates the expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein in HCMECs, while SCU acts against ischemia-reperfusion injury to HCMECs by increasing ERK phosphorylation.

Objective To study the biological exposure limit in bone metabolism damage caused by coexposure to fluorine and arsenic from coal burning in exposed population.Methods One hundred and ninety-eight cases of fluoride and arsenic co-exposed people from Liuchang village,Qinzhen city,Guizhou province were enrolled in the study.Urinary fluorine (UF),urinary arsenic (UAs),urinary hydroxyproline (UHYP),ross-linked Ntelopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(UNTX) and bone strength index(STI) were detected.BMDS Version 2.1 software was used to calculate UF,UAs benchmark dose (BMD) and its lower confidence limit (BMDL) on the damage of bone metabolism caused by co-exposure to fluorine and arsenic from coal burning.Results The BMD and BMDL range of UF caused by co-exposure to fluorine and arsenic from coal burning were 0.68-1.35 mg/g Cr,0.57-1.11 mg/g Cr.The BMD and BMDL range of UAs caused by co-exposure to fluorine and arsenic from coal burning were 8.36-18.77 μg/g Cr,7.12-15.40 μg/g Cr.Conclusion The biological exposure limits of UF and UAs for bone metabolism toxicity are proposed as 0.57 mg/g Cr and 7.12 μg/g Cr in co-exposure to fluoride and arsenic from coal burning,respectively.

The improving rates of source point on kidney and bladder meridians were better than those of the other meridians after treatment. Conclusion C-V curve observation can be used to diagnose, deduct and evaluate treatment for the lumbar disc herniation.

To establish an HPLC-MS/MS method for the analysis of quercetin, kaempferid and isorhamnetin in rats plasma and study its pharmamacokinetics after an intragastrical administration of Hippophae rhamnoides extracts. Five healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given single doses of H. rhamnoides extracts (quercetin 26.35 mg x kg(-1), kaempferid 4.040 mg x kg(-1), isorhamnetin 31.37 mg x kg(-1)), and then their orbital sinus blood samples were collected at different time points. The drug plasma concentration of the three flavonoids was determined by HPLC-MS/MS method. After that, the main pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated by using Kinetica 5. 0. 11 software. The methodological test showed that the linear concentration ranges of quercetin, kaempferid and isorhamnetin were 7.500-600.0 μg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.998 5), 1.000-80.00 μg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.998 5 ) and 10.00-800.0 μg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.998 0), respectively. The inner and inter-days precisions were both less than 14.0%. The plasma samples showed a good stability and consistency with the requirement of biological sample analysis after the samples were frozen once and placed at - 20 degrees C for 15 d and room temperature for 6 h and the treated analytes were placed at -20 degrees C for 24 h. For quercetin, the pharmacokinetic parameter t(½β), AUC(0-∞), MRT(0.∞), C.(max) and T(max) were (113.3 ± 19.37) min, (12 542.14 ± 3 504.05) μg x h x L(-1), (119.6 ± 13.29) h, (164.6 ± 27.33) μg x L(-1) and (5.199 ± 0.840 3) h, respectively. For kaempferid, the pharmacokinetic parameters t(½β), AUC(0-t), MRT(0-∞), C(max) and T(max) were (79.85 ± 17.15) min, (934.51 ± 94.59) μg x h x L(-1), (81.50 ± 13.75) h, (80.15 ± 14.24) μg x L(-1) and (3.827 ± 0.902 7) h, respectively. For isorhamnetin, the pharmacokinetic parameters t1,2,, AUC(0-t), MRT(0-∞), C(max) and T(max) were (118.3 ± 20.73) min, (26 067.77 ± 4 124.60) μg x h x L(-1), (129.0 ± 16.30) h, (269.6 ± 29.32) μg x L(-1) and (6.513 ± 1.450) h, respectively. The HPLC-MS/MS analysis method established in this study was proved to be sensitive and accurate and could be applied in the pharmacokinetic study of quercetin, kaempferid and isorhamnetin in rat plasma.
