BACKGROUND: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system existed in bone tissue. Recent studies on antihypertensive drugs found that angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor type antihypertensive drug was possibly effective for osteoporosis. Perindopril is one of the commonly used antihypertensive drugs. Whether perindopril affected bone metabolism or could be used in anti-osteoporosis has not been reported.
OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of perindopril on bone metabolism in a rat model of osteoporosis induced by retinoic acid.
METHODS: Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups, with ten in each group. In the model group and each perindopril groups, rats were intragastricaly administered retinoic acid solution 80 mg/kg per day. After successful model establishment, rats in different perindopril groups were intragastrical y administered perindopril 2, 4 and 8 mg/kg per day, once a day, for 42 consecutive days. In the normal control and model groups, rats were given an equal volume of distil ed water. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, bone mass and bone mineral density were detected in each group. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA in bone tissue was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the model group, after treatment with perindopril, serum calcium and phosphorus levels were increased, alkaline phosphatase activities were significantly decreased, bone mass and bone mineral density were obviously increased in rats with retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis. Expression of bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the perindopril 2 and 4 mg/kg groups and model group. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase mRNA expression was higher in the perindopril 8 mg/kg group than in the model group. These results indicated that perindopril could improve partial bone metabolic biochemical markers in osteoporosis rats, promoted bone formation by up-regulating bone specific alkaline phosphatase mRNA expression, and had a certain preventive effect on retinoic acid-induced osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND: A majority scholars views that polymorphism of angiotensinogen T174M gene is one of the susceptible factors of inheritance of coronary heart disease, hypertension and myocardial infarction.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the relationship between the variation of angiotensinogen T174M gene and myocardial infarction.DESIGN: Case-controlled verified experiment.SETTING: Department of Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biological Science Faculty of North China Coal Medical College,and Department of Cardiology in Affiliated Hospital of North China Coal Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-five cases of myocardial infarction were collected from outpatients and inpatients in Department of Cardiac Vascular Internal Medicine of Worker's Hospital Affiliated to North China Coal Medical College in Tangshan from September 2002 to September 2003, of which,29 cases were males and 26 cases females, aged (60±8) years. At the same time, 60 cases (health control) were selected from the people who received clinical physical health check (without repeated physical check), of which,32 cases were males and 28 cases females, aged (60±10) years. The cases selected had no manifestation of coronary heart disease, without history myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction in family and the participants were in the know of the research.INTERVENTIONS: Polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify the genetic sequence of No.174 DAN residue involved in No.2 exon of angiotensinogen gene. Electrophoresis was used after variated with Nco I restriction endonuclease.Analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism was carried on angiotensinogen genotype. Simultaneously,the relevant risk factors of coronary heart disease were detected in two groups, such as blood pressure, body mass, blood lipid, fasting blood glucose, etc.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Distribution of genotype, frequency of genotype and frequency of allele in two groups. ② Analysis on risk factors of two groups.RESULTS: Totally 115 cases of objects all accomplished the design and entered result analysis. ① Frequency of angiotensinogen genotype: in myocardial infarction group, TT 75% (41/55), TM 18% (10/55), MM 7% (4/55) and in control group, TT 83% (50/60), TM 15% (9/60), MM 2% (1/60). Frequency of allele of M174 and T174 were 16% (18/110), 84% (92/110) and 9% (11/120), 91% (109/120) in myocardial infarction group and control group respectively. Frequency of allele of M174 in myocardial infarction group was significantly higher than that of control group (x2=5.79,P < 0.05). By the division of sex, the frequency M and T alleles of both male and female in experiment group was basically identical to control group. Angiotensinogen 174MM genotype in myocardial infarction group was significantly higher than control group (x2= 7.55, P < 0.025). ② Comparison of risk factors: The percentage of smoking history in myocardial infarction group was significantly higher than control group (P = 0.006). After correction of essential risk factors of coronary heart disease, angiotensinogen 174MM gene still increased significantly the risk of myocardial infarction (Odds ratio was 3.66, P= 0.018).CONCLUSION: Angiotensinogen genotype is related to the occurrence of myocardial infarction. M allele is one of the susceptible factors of inheritance of myocardial infarction and T allele prevents from myocardial infarction. The attack of myocardial infarction is not relevant to sex, but angiotensinogen 174TM gene is one of the essential risk factors of myocardial infarction.

BACKGROUND:Coenzyme Q10 participates in the electron transport of respiratory chain and possesses antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has achieved good outcomes in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Coenzyme Q10 may also have a certain application value in the fields of diabetes and periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of coenzyme Q10 on the expression of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.METHODS:Forty-eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, periodontitis+ diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and water. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+ coenzyme Q10 groups were subjected to induction of periodontitis using the method of silk ligation and type 2 diabetes by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. After successful modeling, rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group were intragastricaly administered coenzyme Q10 for 8 successive weeks. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group were administered equal amount of physiological saline. At the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks after drug administration, four rats were randomly selected and sacrificed. The expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the end of 8th week, interleukin-17- and interleukin-23-positive expression in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group was significantly higher than that in the periodontitis+ diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group (P < 0.05). Coenzyme Q10 can reduce the expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis, and aleviate periodontal tissue inflammation of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.
