BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has important biological effects on the heart, it can promote cardiac and vascular smooth muscle growth and metabolism.OBJECTIVE: To summarize the biological effects of IGF-1, to clarify the mechanism of exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy, and make better use of the exercise influence on IGF1 to achieve adaptive cardiac hypertrophy.METHODS: With exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy, insulin-like growth factor, exercise in English for the search terms,Pubmed database from January 1990 to April 2009 was retrieved; With exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy, insulin-like growth factor, exercise in Chinese for the search terms, CNKI database from January 1990 to April 2009 was searched. Literatures were limited to English and Chinese languages. Inclusive criteria: animal experimental study and clinical application research closely linked to IGF-1; exclusive criteria: the old literatures and Meta analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 41 literatures were screened out by computers, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria; 31 documents of which were involved for analysis. The IGF coordinates with other growth factors to promote differentiations and maturity of a variety of cells. The current data indicate that the blood serum and the cardiac local IGF-1 play an important role on cardiac hypertrophy. This study used the method of literature to analyze the production and action mechanism of the circulatory and cardiac IGF, discuss the functions of cardiac local IGF and the effect of exercise on it, and bring forward that exercise can alter the IGF expressions, IGF is related to the formation of exercise-induced cardiac hypertrophy.

Objective To determine the change of maternal heart rate during the treatment with ritodrine for threatened premature labor. Methods110 cases of threatened premature labor were chosen. The ritodrine 100mg in 5% G. S 500mL was intravenously administered. The initial dosage was 6 drops/min, and the dose was increased until uterine contractions were inhibited. The treatment lasted for 40 to 48 hours after the uterine contractions were inhibited, then the oral tablets was recommended. If necessary, repeated treatment was given to some patients. The maternal heart rate was recorded in the whole process of treatment and was compared with the dosage administered. The labor time, fetal weight and Apgar′s score were also analyzed. Results The maternal basic heart rate was increased at first and then decreased. The increasing significantly increased( P ＜ 0.01 ) when the uterine contraction was inhibited. , but no difference showed among the groups of different gestational age( P＞0.05 ). The maternal heart rate was increased with the increasing of ritodrine( max. 140/min). labor time was significantly prolonged with the treatment of ritodrine( P＜0.01 ) ,while that of the idiopathic premature labor was prolonged most obviously ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Average fetal weight was (2.42 ± 0.49) kg, and the average Apgar′s score was≥8. Conclusion In the treatment of inhibiting uterine contractions,the increasing of maternal heart rate caused by ritodrine can be used as an indicator of therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Compound Ligusticum chuanxiong drop pill on hemorheology and blood gas in model rats with diabetic nephropathy(DN). METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model group, positive control group [Irbesartan tablet,0.013 g/(kg·d)] and Compound L. chuanxiong drop pill high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups [0.4,0.2,0.1 g/(kg·d)],10 in each group. Except for normal control group,rats in other groups were given high-sugar high-fat feed and intraperitoneally injected streptozotocin to reduce DN model. After 7 d modeling,rats in each group received relat-ed drugs intragastrically,once a day,10 mL/kg;normal control group and model group received equal volume of purified water in-tragastrically. After 64 d,hemorheology indicators [whole blood viscosity(high-shear,medium-shear and low-shear),plasma viscosi-ty,whole blood reduced viscosity] and blood gas indicators(carbon dioxide partial pressure,oxygen partial pressure,hemoglobin content,oxygen saturation,ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to total protein) of rats were determined,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes in kidney tissue. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,hemorheology indi-cators and carbon dioxide partial pressure in model group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),oxygen partial pres-sure,hemoglobin content,oxygen saturation,ratio of oxygenated hemoglobin to total protein were significantly decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),with severe kidney damage. Compared with model group,except the improvement of carbon dioxide partial pressure, oxygen partial pressure,hemoglobin content in rats were not significant in Compound L. chuanxiong drop pill low-dose group,the above-mentioned indicators in other medicine groups were significantly improved(P<0.05 or P<0.01);the kidney tissue damage was improved to varying degree. CONCLUSIONS:Compound L. chuanxiong drop pill can significantly improve the hemorheology indicators of DN model rats,reduce blood viscosity,improve microcirculation and capacity of the blood to transport oxygen,and has certain improvement effect on kidney tissue morphology of DN rats.

Objective To study the effect of caveolin-1 on renal injury and the expression of tight junction proteins in MRL/lpr mice kidney.Methods The mice were divided into 4 groups:5 mice in the normal control group (BALB/c mice);the MRL/lpr lupus mice (n=18) were randomly divided into the MRL/lpr group in which 6 mice were included;the negative control group in which 6 mice were included;the caveolin1 transfection group in which 6 mice were included.The changes of urine protein,the levels of urea (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were detected.The expressions of claudin-5,occludin,ZO-1 and caveolin-1 protein were determined by western bloting.Analysis of variance was used to determine statistical significant differences between the two groups.A significance level of 0.05 was considered as signigicant.Results Compared with the control group,24 h urine protein [(2 894±437) mg,(412±72) mg],BUN [(8.7±1.5) mmol/L,(6.9±0.4) mmol/L],Cr [(106±22) μmol/L,(85±4) μmol/L] were significantly increased,level of caveolin-1 protein increased (265±17,61±6),the level of occludin (114±12,190±12),claudin-5 (60±5,80±6) and ZO-1 (98±11,206±15) protein decreased in the MRL/lpr group (P＜0.05).After caveolin-1 transfection,the levels of urinary protein [(1 253±249) mg,(2 894±437) mg],BUN [(6.5±1.3) mmol/L,(8.7±1.5) mmol/L],Cr [(78±17) μmol/L,(106±22)μmol/L] were significantly decreased,and the levels of occludin (218±16,114±12),claudin-5 (87±6,60±5)ZO-1 (313±17,98±11) were increased (P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of caveolin-1 protein in the renal tissues of lupus nephritis increases.Caveolin-1 can reduce the expression of tight junction proteins and contribute to progres-sion of lupus nephritis.
