AIM To study the calcium antagonistic effects of Magnesium salicylate in central nervous system. MTEHODS Using calcium sensitive fluorescence indicator Fura-2 technique. RESULTS Resting [Ca 2+ ] i in brain cells under different extracellular calcium concentration(0,0 01,0 1,1 0,1 3 mmol?L -1 )were 41?5,59?6,84 7?2 5,104?7,(126?5)nmol?L -1 respectively( n =8～47).MgS 0 2 mmol?L -1 had no significant effects on resting [Ca 2+ ] i.At the same time, MgS (0 05～0 4 mmol?L -1 ) concentration dependently inhibited the [Ca 2+ ] i elevation induced by high extracellular potassium or L -glutamate in the presence of extracellular [Ca 2+ ] i 1 3 mmol?L -1 . The IC 50 values were 0 323 mmol?L -1 (95% CI 0 122～0 854 mmol?L -1 ) and 0 124 mmol?L -1 (95% CI 0 073～0 210 mmol?L -1 ) separately. CONCLUSION MgS possesses inhibitory effects on voltage-activated calcium channel and receptor-operated calcium chanel in CNS.

In order to explore the effect of flipped classroom in theoretical teaching of biochemistry,lipids metabolism was selected to carry out four stages flipped classroom.The teaching effect of flipped classroom was evaluated by test and questionnaire survey of students.The results indicated that most undergraduate students could accept novel teaching method.However,the consciousness and the ability of students' independent learning need to be further improved.It also takes time for the students to adapt to the transition from traditional teaching to flipped c1assroom.In summary,the specificity of Biochemistry may limit the carrying out of flipped classroom to some extent.Therefore,which kind of teaching method is adopted depends on the biochemistry theoretical content.Our work may provide some references for further application of flipped classroom in biochemistry teaching.

Aim This paper aims at investigating the effect of dofetilide on Na+/Ca 2+exchange in ventricular myocytes of adult guinea pigs. Methods Rapid enzymatic isolation procedure was performed to get single ventricular myocytes from adult guinea pigs. After the whole cell configuration was formed, a ramp voltage-clamp pulse depolarized from a holding potential of -40 mV to +60 mV, then hyperpolarized to -120 mV at a rate of 90 mV/s to record the Na+/Ca 2+ exchange current (I Na/Ca) and the influence of dofetilide from 0.03～1.0 ?mol?L -1. Result Dofetilide from 0.03～1.0 ?mol?L -1 concentration-dependently increased the I Na/Ca in both outward and inward mode. The EC 50 of dofetilide on I Na/Ca in outward and inward mode of NCE was 0.178 ?mol?L -1 (95% confidence interval was 0.040～0.787 ?mol?L -1) and 0.178 ?mol?L -1 (95% confidence interval was 0.038～0.842 ?mol?L -1), respectively. Conclusion Dofetilide concentration-dependently increased the outward and inward Na+/Ca 2+ exchange current in ventricular myocytes of adult guinea pigs.

AIM: To investigate the effects of the sera from the rats after limb ischemic preconditioning (LIPC) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).METHODS:The HUVECs were divided into 5 groups:the cells in control group were cultured without any intervention;the cells in model group (M) were damaged by 1 mmol/L H2O2 for 2 h;the cells in early preconditioning serum (EPS) group, delayed pre-conditioning serum (DPS) group or sham limb ischemic preconditioning serum (SPS) group were treated with the corre-sponding serum at 5%for 12 h, respectively , and then treaed with H 2 O2 for 2 h.The viability of the HUVECs was ana-lyzed by flow cytometry .The lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) in the culture media was detected .The cell adhesion molecules in the HUVECs were detected by real-time PCR.The mRNA and protein expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was also determined .RESULTS:The viability of HUVECs incubated with 1 mmol/L H2 O2 for 2 h significantly decreased compared with the control cells , which was accompanied with the augmentations of LDH in the medium and the cell adhesion mole -cules in cells , such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 ( VCAM-1 ) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( ICAM-1 ) . Preincubation with EPS and DPS derived from the rats subjected LIPC attenuated these injuries .Furthermore, pretreatment with EPS and DPS increased the expression of HO-1 at mRNA and protein levels .CONCLUSION:LIPC protects the HU-VECs from H2O2-induced injury.

There have been many reports of clinical and experimental researches of microacupuncture therapy, the relevant systematic works, teaching materials and national standards in recent decades. It shows that microacupuncture system has been formed and its influence has been promoted. While the rapid development of microacupuncture therapy, there are the problems and contradictions on nomenclature, explanation of theoretical basis, optimal indications, and multiple systems and schools, etc. All the above have blocked the clinical application and development. It is considered that we need to unify the nomenclature, condense the theoretical basis, clear the optimal indications, promote the exchange and blend among different schools and sum up the outcomes by systematic review and data mining technique.
