1.Study of the injurious effects of neutrophils on myocardium and their medicinal therapy in rabbits
Journal of Third Military Medical University 1988;0(05):-
It was found that there was a significant increase of the number of circulating leucocytes 2h after a subcutaneous injcetion of isoprenaline and severe myocardial necrosis occurred after consecutive injections for 3 d.Cytoxan-induced depletion of leucocytes resulted in an obvious decrease of the percentage of myocardial necrosis.In the control.the neutrophilic phagocytosis was enhanced and their release of acid phosphatase elevated greatly,which indicates that the neutrophils are in an activated state.After the.neutrophils were inhibited with dexamethasone or indomethacint significant reduction of the contents of prostaglandin E2 and malondialdehyde and an increase of superoxide dismutase activty in the myocardium were observed and consequently myocardial necrosis was greatly alleviated.Our findings suggest that neutrophils might play an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction through the release of lysosomal enzymes and the production of oxygen-derived free radicals and certain metabolites of arachidonic acid,and proper regulation of the neutrophilic functions could exert prophylactic effects on myocardial infarction.This might be a promising direction to look for more effective drugs to treat myocardial infarction.
2.Inhibitory effects of Zedoray Rhizome Abstracts on hepatic cell line HepG2 and their mechanisms
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
Aim Curcumol and Zedoary Turmeric Oil (ZTO) were prepared to liposome, which were used to study the anti-hepatoma effect, and its mechanism that was expected to provide theoretical support for the clinic anticarcinomal use of Zedoray Rhizome Abstracts.Methods Curcumol and ZTO were prepared to liposome by mechanical diffusion and ultrasonic techniques.Proliferation of HepG2 cell in vitro was observed with curcumol and ZTO by MTT assay. Apoptosis of cells was observed by staining with Hoechst 33258/PI and laser confocal scanning microscopy (LCSM). Expression of COX-2 mRNA and VEGF mRNA of HepG2 cell was investigated by RT-PCR.Results Envelopment ratios of curcumol liposome and ZTO liposome were 86.2% and 74.5%,respectively.Curcumol and ZTO inhibited proliferation of HepG2 cell by MTT assay.Compared with control group, Curcumol and ZTO increased the apoptosis rate of HepG2 cell significantly (P

6.Analysis of factors associated with promoting the transformation of adverse emotions in paraplegic patients
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2003;9(8):494-495
目的观察促进截瘫患者不良情绪转化的相关因素。方法对86例住院截瘫患者进行日常生活能力评定和焦虑、抑郁量表评定,根据评定结果制定康复训练计划,同时开展心理护理;3个月后进行第2次评定。结果约80%的入院患者有不同程度的焦虑和抑郁情绪,经康复训练和心理护理后,患者的焦虑和抑郁情绪均有不同程度减轻。此外,焦虑及抑郁情绪的轻重与病程长短无关(P>0.05),可促进截瘫患者不良情绪转化的相关因素为适宜的环境、日常生活能力提高、良好的心理护理和及时有效的健康教育。结论了解促进截瘫患者不良情绪转化的相关因素有助于有针对性地对患者实施心理护理,有利于患者回归家庭、回归社会。

A strain producing pullulanase was isolated from soil and mutated by UV and EMS with the increase of pullulanase activity from 1.6 to 5.4 u/mL. The fermentation conditions and medium were studied and optimized. The enzyme activity can reach 8.8 u/mL under the optimal fermentation conditions and medium. The optimal pH and temperature for enzyme are 4.6 and 75℃ respectively. It shows a high stabiliby during pH4.0~8.0 at 55℃.

Objective To explore the effect of prenatal inflammation on vascular remolding and blood pressure in mid-aged rats.Methods Time-mated pregnant Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into 2 groups,received peritoneal injection of 0.79 mg/kg LPS on the gestation days 8,10,and 12,or same volume of the sterile saline at the same time points.Nine pups were randomly selected from each group for the later experiments,and the offspring were named as LPS groups for those having prenatal LPS exposure and control group for those having not.Their blood pressure was determined with a rat tail non-invasive instrument by tail-cuff method from 6 weeks old to 35 weeks old,and then their aortas were taken out for media thickness(MT),diameter of lumen(LD),and the ratios of MT/LD.The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)on the vessel was detected by ELISA.The serum level of NO and plasma endothelin-1(ET-1)were measured by nitrate reductase and radioimmunoassay respectively.Results Compared with control group,LPS groups had significantly raised blood pressure,a significantly higher ratio of MT/LD,obviously increased expression of PCNA,and markedly elevated serum ET-1.Conclusion The offspring whose prenatal rats were exposured to LPS result in vascular remolding,vasofunctional disturbances and hypertension.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) serves several important functions, mainly post-translational modification, folding and assembly of newly synthesized secretary proteins, synthesizing lipids and cellular calcium storage. Various factors can disrupt ER homeostasis and disturb its functions, which leads to the accumulation of unfolded and misfolded proteins and to potential cellular dysfunction and pathological consequences, collectively termed ER stress. Recent progress suggests that ER stress plays a key role in the immune response, diabetes, tumor growth, and some neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, ER stress is involved in several processes of cardiovascular diseases, such as ischemia/reperfusion injury, cardiomyopathy, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. Further research on the relation of ER stress to cardiovascular diseases will greatly enhance the understanding of these pathological processes and provide novel avenues to potential therapies.
