1.Src kinases and cerebrovascular diseases
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(10):796-800
Src family kinases (SFKs) are the largest non-receptor tyrosine kinase family and play key roles in the regulation of cell morphology,proliferation,growth,adhesion,and motility.The activation of src kinases couples with many signals input on cell surface,including growth factor,cytokine,immune cell receptor,G protein-coupled receptor,integrin,and other cell adhesion molecules.In addition,as an important molecular switch connecting many extracellular and intracellular important signaling pathways,src kinases also play an important role in the occurrence of cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective To evaluate the short-term effects of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) associated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of primary hepatic carcinoma and 3D-CRT associated with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic hepatic carcinoma. Methods In 52 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma, first of all a single TACE was conducted. Then after an interval of 2 weeks, the conformal radiotherapy was given, with a radiation dose of 2~3 Gy every fraction, once daily or once every other day and 3~5 fractions every week. The total radiation dose to the target was 42.2~60.0 Gy (mean, 52.2 Gy). Afterwards, 2 additional TACEs were given after the radiotherapy. In 35 patients with metastatic hepatic carcinoma, chemotherapy was carried out for 1 treatment course firstly. Then 3D-CRT was employed. After the radiotherapy, another 2 courses of consolidating chemotherapy were administrated. The patient continued with the chemotherapy for additional 3 treatment courses (a total of 6 courses) if efficacy evaluation showed the patient had responded to the chemotherapy. Results The response outcomes were: complete remission (CR) 23 0% (20/87), partial remission (PR) 39 1% (34/87), stable disease (SD) 34 5% (30/87) and progressive disease (PD) 3 4% (3/87), the response rate (RR) being 62 1% (54/87). Conclusions 3D-CRT with TACE for primary hepatic carcinoma and 3D-CRT with chemotherapy for metastatic hepatic carcinoma offers high local control rates and good short-term effects.

BACKGROUND: It is indicated in researches of recent years that both astragalus and angelica act on anti-free radical and protect renal injury due to ischemia / reperfusion.OBJECTIVE: To observe the protection and its mechanism of astragalus and angelica injections on adenosine triphosphate-ase (ATPase) in renal injury due to ischemia/reperfusion.DESIGN: The observing controlled experiment based on experimental animals .SETTING: Physiological teaching & research room and teaching & research room of renal functional protection in a medical college. MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Physiological Experimental Room of Luzhou Medical College from January 2001 to March 2001. Totally 33 Japanese big-ear white healthy adult rabbits of either sex were employed,provided by Experimental Animal Center of Luzhou Medical College, in the mass of(1.63 + 0. 22) kg. According to random number table, they were divided in sham-operation control(8 rabbits), simple ischemia/reperfusion group (8 rabbits), astragalus injection + ischemia/reperfusion group (astragalus group) (8 rabbits) and angelica injection + ischemia/reperfusion group(angelica group) (9 rabbits).METHODS: One day before operation, on the day of operation and 1 day after operation, successively, intravenous medical injections (astragalus 1.25 g/kg,angelica 12.5 g/kg) were administrated in astragalus and angelica groups everyday respectively, and injection with physiological saline 5 mL/kg was applied in the control and simple ischemia/reperfusion group. In 48 hours reperfusion after 1 hour ischemia in kidney, blood sample was collected from inferior vena cava. The upper tissue of the right kidney was collected and fixed by placed in 30 mL/L glutaraldehyde and the lower tissue was prepared into homogenate. Ultrastructure of renal tissue was examined with electron microscope; serum creatinine level and ATPase activity in renal tissue were assayed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Ultrastructure of renal tissue, serum creatinine level and ATPase activity in renal tissue.RESULTS: In simple ischemia/reperfusion group, renal tissue was degenerated significantly, and the disorders in astragalus and angelica groups were reduced markedly compared with simple ischemia/reperfusion group. Serum creatinine level in simple ischemia/reperfusion group was higher remarkably than the sham-operation control ( P < 0. 05 ), and that in astragalus and angelica groups was reduced than simple ischemia/reperfusion group (P < 0. 05) . In simple ischemia/reperfusion group, the levels of Mg2+-ATPaes, Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase were(0. 155 ±0. 020),(0.179±0.018), (0.150±0.022) nkat/g respectively, which was markedly reduced compared with sham-operation control [ (0. 174 + 0. 012),(0. 198 + 0. 012), (0. 181 + 0. 017) nkat/g], ( t = 2. 344, 2. 438, 3. 014,P < 0.05 ). In astragalus and angelica groups, respectively, the activities of Mg2+-ATPaes, Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase were(0. 172 ± 0. 023),(0. 196 ±0. 077), (0. 175 ±0. 016) and (0. 177 ±0. 015), (0. 200 ±0.011 )and (0. 181 ± 0. 025) nkat/g successively. Except that Mg2+-ATPaes activity in astragalus group was not different significantly from that in simple ischemia/reperfusion group, all the rest were higher than simple ischemia/reperfusion group(t =2. 372 -2. 786, P <0.05).CONCLUSION: Both astragalus and angelica inhibit the decrease of ATPase and improve the disturbed local blood-flow adjustment in kidney, which has provided experimental basis of astragalus and angelica on reducing renal injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion through protecting ATPase.

Objective Ventricular remodeling mode after myocardial infarction in rats was used to investigate the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHu-EPO) on hemodynamic,ventricular function and infarct size of left ventricle in rats with myocardial infarction, so as to find out the optimum time and protocol of EPO treatment for ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and provide evidence for clinical application of EPO. Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague Dawley rats were divided randomly and equally into 5 groups:sham group,simple cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group, the intervention groups of different drugs ( rHu-EPO in the intervention group and SB203580 group,rHu-EPO+SB203580,group) . Ligation was set at more than 1/3 points on the anterior descending coronary artery to make model of myocardial infarction in rats, and the rats were feeded for four weeks. Different drugs in the intervention groups were subcutaneously injected once before ischemia and twice a week after ischemia. Respectively, 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks after ischemia, we detected the hemodynamic parameters, recorded the left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), maximal rate of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dt) and left ventricular pressure decline rate (-dp/dt), and recorded the synchronization of heart rate (HR) . The animals were sacrificed 4 weeks after ischemia, and the heart specimens were collected. The relative weight of left and right ventricle (LV/BW in the RV/BW) was calculated according to the left and right ventricular weight (LVW, RVW) . TTC and Evans blue staining was used to detect left ventricular infarct size, and pathological examination was used to observe the gross and microscopic morphological change. Results 24 hours after operation: Compared with the sham group, in simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group, rats' left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and left ventricular pressure maximum rise and fall rate (±dp/dt) was significantly abnormal,LVSP and ± dp/dt were significantly reduced, the LVEDP was significantly increased (P<0.05);compared with simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group, in the intervention groups (rHu-EPO in the intervention group, SB203580 group, rHu-the EPO + SB203580 group) rats' ± the dp /dt improved significantly (P<0.05) . After 2 weeks:compared with the sham group, in simple cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group rats’LVSP and LVEDP and ± dp/dt significant deterioration (P<0.05) ;compared with simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group, in the intervention group (rHu-EPO in the intervention group, SB203580 group, rHu-the EPO+SB203580 group) rats’± the dp/dt was significantly improved (P<0.05) . After 4 weeks:compared with the sham group, in simple cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group rats’LVSP and LVEDP and ± dp/dt significant deterioration (P<0.05) ; compared with simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group, in the intervention groups (rHu-EPO in the intervention group, SB203580 group, rHu-the EPO + SB203580 group) rats' ± the dp/dt was significantly improved (P<0.05) . Compared with the sham group, in simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group rats' LV/BW increased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Compared with simply cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction group,in the intervention group (rHu-EPO in the intervention group and SB203580 group, rHu-the EPO+SB203580 group) rats’LV/BW decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 ) . Compared with simply after myocardial infarction cardiac remodeling group, in the intervention groups (rHu-EPO in the intervention group and SB203580 group,rHu-EPO+SB203580 group) rats’cardiac infarct size was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusions rH-EPO can protect the heart function through improving the left ventricular systolic and diastolic function after AMI in rats.RH-EPO can suppress ventricular remodeling, through reducing ventricular relative weight and infarct size and promoting the renewal of capillary in infarction area after AMI in rats.

Objective To observe the tolerance of contemporaneous multiplane operations in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods Twenty-three patients were enrolled. According to the different obstructive level, the different operations were chosen to complete upper airway reconstruction in contemporaneous operation group (group A, 13 patients). In the simple palatopharynx level obstructive group (group B, 10 patients), bilateral tonsillectomy and H-UPPP was chosen. Results The operation time in group A was significantly longer than that in group B:(121.0 ± 35.4) min vs.(80.7 ± 25.3) min, P<0.01. The hospital days and adverse events in two groups had no significantly difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Individual therapeutic schedule for OSAHS patients should be formulated. Operating the different obstructive levels simutaneously, which would solve upper airway occlusion and complete the upper airway reconstruction at the same time. No more adverse events happen, compared with the simple palatopharynx level obstructive group, though the operation time may be longer.
