1.A time—related study about morphometry in myocardial ultrastructure and Ca distribution in ischemia and reperfusion damage and the protective effect of Danshen for the heart
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(06):-
Calcium overload has been discovered in the ischemia and reperfusion injury of the heart recently, but there were less reports about changes in myocardial Ca distribution under this same condition by electronmicroscopy. Using the potassium-pyroantimonate method and X-ray microanalysis, we studied cytochemical calcium localization in the rabbit's myocardium at various time periods of ischmia with or without subsequent reperfusion. At the same time, we had the morphometric estimation of Ca granule volume density in the mitochondria by TAS(texture analysis system) and evaluated Danshen's protection for ischemia and-reperfusion injury. The results showed that mitochondrial Ca granule volume density increased significantly with the development of ischmia and post-ischemic reperfusion, especially during reperfusion following 40min of ischemia, however following 60min of ischemia, Ca granule volume density decreased than that observed following 40 min of ischemia. This meant that the limit time point for reversible and irreversible injury could be in the range of 40~60min of ischemia. Danshen pretreatment to the rabbits reduced Ca granule volume density significantly. This demostruted that Danshen acted as a calcium antagonist and contributed an outstanding protection to the myocardial calcium overload.

Objective The pathogenesis of T2DM has not been elucidated.This study aimed to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in Eastern China population. Methods We collected 467 cases in the Health Examination Center of our hospital from January 2011 to December 2012.Ligase detection reaction was performed to test the genotypes in 240 T2DM patients and 227 controls.Unconditioned logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association of FXR gene polymorphisms with the risk of T2DM in different genetic models, after adjusting for age, sex, smoking and drinking status. Results Compared with AA genotype, GG significantly increased the risk of T2DM (P=0.017), while GA+GG approached marginal significance in association with T2DM (P=0.049) in rs1030454.For rs10860598, GA reduced the incidence of T2DM (P=0.025) compared with AA genotype, while GA+GG had marginal significance with T2DM (P=0.049).For rs11110411, CT or CT+CC could reduce the risk of T2DM compared with TT with P value of 0.016 and 0.024 respectively.Compared with AA, GA or GA+GG in rs17030270 was negative with the risk of T2DM with P value of 0.018 and 0.032 respectively. Conclusion FXR gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of T2DM in northern Chinese Han population and the variation of FXR gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.

ObjectiveTo observe the expressions of Caspase-9,Caspase-3, cytochrome C and their relationships, and investigate apoptotic mechanisms in hippocampus of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD) rats. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were used in the present study. The single-prolonged stress (SPS)-method was used to set up the rat PTSD models. There were six groups:after SPS 1 day,4 days,7 days,14 days,28 days groups and control group. The expressions of caspase-9, Caspase-3 and Cytochrome C proteins were detected with immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Results Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent results showed that the expression of cytochrome C peaked at 4 days and maintained higher level at 7days after SPS. Expressions of Caspase-9 and Caspase-3 were increased and peaked at 7days after SPS. Western blotting results showed that compared with control group, cytochrome C protein was up-regulated and peaked at 4 days after SPS in the cytosol. Compared with the control group, cytochrome C tended to decrease in mitochondrial fractions. The activated form of Caspase-9 and caspase-3 were not detected in control group. They were present in model groups. Cleaved- caspase-9 and cleaved-caspase-3 peaked at 7 days after SPS, and then gradually decreased at 14 days. Conclusion The neuronal apoptosis in hippocampus of PTSD rats may be one of the causes inducing hippocampus atrophy. Mitochondrial apoptotic pathway is involved in apoptosis in the hippocampus of PTSD rats.

Objective To observe the expression of cytochrome C (Cyt C)and apoptosis-related gene Bax in hippocampus of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD)rats in order to investigate their effects and relationships. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were used in the present study. The single-prolonged stress(SPS)-method was carried out to set up the rat PTSD models. There were six groups:after SPS 1,4,7,14,28 days groups and control group. The expression of Cyt C and Bax proteins were detected with immunohistochemistry, double immunofluorescence, confocal laser scanning microscopy and Western blotting. Results The expression of Cyt C peaked at 4 days and maintained higher level at 7 days after SPS. At 7 days after SPS, strong immunoreactivity of Bax was noticed,At 14 days after SPS, the expression of Bax was down-regulated and then gradually decreased. Conclusion Bax is upregulated and promotes the releasing of Cyt C. And the releasing of Cyt C may be one of mechanisms of inducing apoptosis in the hippocampus of PTSD rats.

Objective To study the effects of air disinfect ion by three methods. Methods Air was disinfected by ultraviol et rays, pentadialdchyde and ozone, efficiency of disinfection was eval uated b y three different disinfection methods using synchronous sampling after and b efo re disinfected. Results The peak of the bacteria background by precussion method was 10 o'clock, by the ballistic method was 9 o'clock and by the petri dish method was 10 o'clock before disinfected. Three disinfect ion methods were significantly different, efficiency of disi nfection of pentadialdchyde was the highest when it was evaluated by the precuss io n method, and recovery of bacteria was 43.4%~55.8% after disinfected 3 h our s; effect of pentadialdchyde was better than that of the ballistic method, and r ecovery of bacte ria was 21.8%~35.7% after disinfected 3 hours; effect of ultra violet ra ys was better than that of the petri dish method, and recovery of bacteria was 4 2.1%~60.6% after disinfected 3 hours. But their differences were not significan t. In t he course of experiment, temperature and relative humidity have a negative impac t on the ultraviolet ray's efficiency and almost have no impact on others. Conclusions Disinfection method of the ultraviolet rays could be rep laced by disinfection method of pentadialdchyde and ozone.

Objective To observe the cell apoptosis, oxidative stress reaction and expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in kid?ney of dietary zinc deficiency mice during growth period, and discuss the mechanism of renal cell apoptosis induced by zinc deficiency. Methods Thirty weaning male mice were randomly divided into zinc-deficient group and zinc-adequate group, and 15 mice for each group. Zinc-deficient group was fed with zinc deficiency diet (0.85 mg/kg), while zinc-adequate group was fed with enough zinc diet (30 mg/kg). The TUNEL method was applied to observe the cell apoptosis, and the apoptotic in?dex was measured. The content of SOD and MDA were detected to observe the oxidative stress reaction in kidney. The ex?pression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax protein were detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with zinc-adequate group, the cell apoptosis and oxidative stress reaction were increased in zinc-deficient group. The expression of Bcl-2 de?creased, and the expression of Bax increased. The ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax declined in kidney of zinc deficiency mice. Conclu?sion Diet zinc deficiency in growth period may result in the decreased antioxidase, the increased oxidative stress reaction, and the changed Bcl-2 and Bax expression, which promote the occurrence of cell apoptosis in kidney.
