0.05).DBP and DEHP obviously induced a decrease in organ body weight ratios of testis and epididymis and an increase in organ body weights ratios of liver.Obvious decrease in the sperm counts,spermatozoon survival rate and significant increase in the rate of the sperm deformation were observed.There was synergism between DBP and DEHP on the testis,epididymis and liver organ body weight ratio,as well as sperm counts,sperm survival and deformation rates.Pathological examination showed the seminiferous tubules were irregular shape,degenerative atrophy and interstitial substance broadening,and the seminiferous epithelium were degeneration.Epididymis epithelium was damaged and few of mature sperm was seen.Conclusion DBP combined with DEHP can cause obvious toxic effects on reproductive function in male rats.DBP and DEHP mixture can strongly affect the sperm quantity and quality.Also,some toxic effects to epididymis are observed.

Objective To study the combined toxic effects of di-n-butyl phthalate(DBP)and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate(DEHP)on sex hormone and lipid peroxidation in male rats.Methods According to 2?2 factorial analysis,thirty-two healthy and clean adult male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups,including a control group(given coin oil) and three experimental groups:DBP(1/20 LD50,1.0 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil),DEHP(1/20 LD50,1.7 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil) and DBP+DEHP(1.0 g/kg + 1.7 g/kg,dissolved in coin oil),8 rats in each group,through gavage,once a day,for 8 consecutive weeks.The spectrophotometric method was used to measure the activity of lipid peroxidation SOD,GSH and GSH-Px level in testis homogenate.The activities of ACP,AKP and ?-GT were assessed in testis homogenate.Radioimmunoassay was used to determine the testosterone,LH and FSH levels in the serum.Results There was synergism between DBP and DEHP on the SOD activity in testicle and testosterone level in serum,and there was antagonism between DBP and DEHP on the ?-GT and ACP activity in testicle,as well as the FSH level in serum.Conclusion DBP combined with DEHP can cause obvious toxic effects on reproductive function in male rats.The change of testosterone biosynthetic enzymes and the levels of T in serum and disordered physiologic balances of hypothalamic-pituitarytestis axis may be key factors contributing to the decrease of testosterone,then the decrease of reproductive function in male rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of olmesartan medoxomil on renal oxidative stress in mice with chronic heart failure. Methods C57 mice were divided into sham operation group(SHAM group),chronic heart failure group(CHF group)and olmesartan medoxomil treatment group(OLM group).Experimental CHF model was established by coronary artery ligation,in which OLM group fed with a daily dose of 10 mg/kg.The heart rate,blood pressure,cardiac function,Scr,BUN,and plasma and kidney angiotensin(Ang)Ⅱ were measured.Real-time PCR was used to examine renal gp91phox,p22phox and NOX4 expression.AZAN and DHE staining was used to detect renal pathological change after 12 weeks. Results Compared with SHAM group,left ventricular-end diastolic dimension (LVDd)and left ventricular end-systolic dimension(LVDs)were significantly increased(P<0.05),while fractional shortening(FS)and ejection fraction(EF)were significantly decreased in CHF and OLM groups (P<0.05).Compared with SHAM group,systolic blood pressure,Scr,BUN,and AZAN and DHE staining positive area were significantly increased in CHF group(P<0.05),while above indexes were significantly lower in OLM group as compared to CHF group(P<0.05).Compared with SHAM group,plasma and kidney Ang Ⅱ levels,gp91phox,p22phox and NOX4 expression were increased in CHF group(P<0.05),while above indexes were significantly lower in OLM group as compared to CHF group (P<0.05).Conclusions Chronic heart failure can activate intrarenal NADPH oxidase resulting in renal injury.Olmesartan medoxomil can protect kidney by inhibiting the effect of Ang Ⅱ-induced oxidative stress.

AIM: To investigate expression of CD44s in lung cancer and it's clinical significance. METHODS: A total of 117 primary lung cancer from patients were examined for CD44s expression by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: CD44s mostly expressed in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) but not in small ecll lung cancer (SCLC), and squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) showed much stronger expression of CD44s than adenocarcinoma(ADC)(P

Objective To study the effects of atorvastatin on the expressions of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor gamma(PPAR?)and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)in atherosclerosis(AS) tissue.Methods Atherosclerotic rabbit models on aortas were established with the high-cholesterol diet,and animals were divided into control,model and atorvastatin groups(n=8).The expressions of PPAR? and MMP-9 and the effects of atorvastatin on them were observed by means of immunohistochemistry.Results The expression of PPAR? in model group(14.38%?2.58%)was higher than that in control group(7.82%?0.96%)(P

Objective To study the expression of nitricoxide(NO) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in the animals with hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis(AS) in order to investigate the relationship of hypercholesterolemia with AS and vascular endothelium function and ICAM-1. Methods Fed rabbits with high-cholesterol diet to establish the models of hypercholesterolemia and AS,and the control group was fed with normal diet;Blood was collected from vein in 0,8 and 16 weeks in two groups,and the concentrations of TC,LDL,NO and ICAM-1 were measured;The correlation among TC,LDL and NO,ICAM-1 was observed;After 16 weeks,the rabbits were put to death,and immunohistochemistry analysis and RT-PCR were performed to measure the expression of ICAM-1 in the aortas.Results TC and LDL in 8 weeks were higher in the high-cholestrol diet group,but NO and ICAM-1 had no change;NO decreased and ICAM-1 increased in 16 weeks(P

Objective To investigate the role of dynophin and substance P in pruritus with 5/6 subtotal nephrectomy rats (STNx). Methods 5/6 subtotal nephrectomy rots were prepared. After 24 weeks , STNx rats entered in end stage renal disease(ESRD). Sixty male SD rats were divided into 4 groups, STNx+P group(n=15), STNx+dynophin group( n=15), STNx control group(n=15) and sham operation group(n=15). Substance P (SP), dynophin and saline were intradermal injected separately. After injection, scratch reaction of rats in 30 minutes were recorded. And then SP concentration in blood was estimated by ELISA and SP expression in skin was examined by immunohistochemisty. Results SP concentration in blood of STNx rats were (1010.2±103.5)pg/ml, which increased to (2530.0± 236.3) pg/ml in STNx+SP group and decreased to (612.4±72.2)pg/ml in STNx+dynophin group, and it was the lowest in sham opera- tion group (240.2±36.5)pg/ml. SP expression in skin was similar to that of in blood. The scratch times in STNx+SP group were highest (7.3±1.9 times), there was no significant difference between STNx + dynophin group and STNx control group. Conclusion Pruritus in ESRD rats was correlated to the increase of SP in blood and skin. Intradermal injection of dynophin can decrease SP in blood and skin, but can not induce scratch in STNx rats.

CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) is a kind of G-protein-coupled receptor, which plays a pivotal role in allergic inflammation. The interaction between 2-(2-(4-chloro-phenyl)-5-{[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-carbamoyl]-methyl}-4-oxo-thiazolidin-3-yl)-N-(3-morpholin-4-yl-propyl)-acetamide (S009) and the N-terminal extracellular tail (ML40) of CCR4 has been validated to be high affinity by capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). The S009 is a known CCR4 antagonist. Now, a series of new thiourea derivatives have been synthesized. Compared with positive control S009, they were screened using ML40 as target by CZE to find some new drugs for allergic inflammation diseases. The synthesized compounds XJH-5, XJH-4, XJH-17 and XJH-1 displayed the interaction with ML40, but XJH-9, XJH-10, XJH-11, XJH-12, XJH-13, XJH-14, XJH-3, XJH-8, XJH-6, XJH-7, XJH-15, XJH-16 and XJH-2 did not bind to ML40.Both qualification and quantification characterizations of the binding were determined. The affinity of the four compounds was valued by the binding constant, which was similar with the results of chemotactic experiments. The established CEZ method is capable of sensitive and fast screening for a series of lactam analogs in the drug discovery for allergic inflammation diseases.
