2.Effect of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ agonist on the proliferation and differentiation of rat osteoblasts in vitro
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2011;30(3):241-244
Objective To study the effect of rosiglitazone (RSG), the agonist of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ), on the proliferation and differentiation of rat osteoblasts and the related mechanisms. Methods The identification of rat primary osteoblasts was performed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and mineralized nodules. The 3-(4,5)-dimethylthiahiazo (-z-y1)-3,5-di-phenytetrazoliumromide (MTT) assay and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP) assay were used to observe the effects of different concentrations of RSG on proliferation and differentiation of the osteoblasts. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to detect the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA. The effects of the different concentrations (0,1,2,5,10 and 20 μmol/L) of RSG on TGF-β1-induced CTGF mRNA expression in osteoblasts were detected. Results (1)Different concentrations of RSG could not change the proliferation of osteoblasts (P>0. 05). (2)Compared with control group, all different concentrations of RSG could suppress ALP activity in osteoblasts (P<0. 01 ). (3) RSG suppressed the osteoblats CTGF mRNA expression induced by TGF-β1 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0. 01). Conclusions In vitro, RSG can inhibit the TGF-β1 induced rat osteoblasts CTGF mRNA expression. RSG may play a potential role in preventing the differentiation of the rat osteoblasts.

Objective To get the information about the infection condition of blood in voluntary donors in Fuling District from 2001 to 2007, so as to take measures to improve blood quality and ensure blood safety.Methods Serum ALT was detected with Reitman-Frankel assay, and HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP were detected with ELISA.Results A total of 72 868 serum samples from blood donors were detected, in which 5 512 (7.56%) were positive. The positive rates of HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HIV and anti-TP were 3.09%, 0.48%, 0.07% and 1.27% respectively, and the abnormality rate of ALT was 2.73%. There was statistical difference of positive rate among various years (from 2001 to 2007).Conclusion The positive rate of blood in voluntary donors decreases year by year. HBsAg was the highest (1.16%), followed by ALT (2.73%), anti-TP (1.27%), anti-HCV and anti-HIV. It suggests that blood quality monitoring should be strengthed to assure blood safety.
4.Blood pressure variability and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(10):951-955
Hypertension is the most important risk factor for ischemic stroke and other cardiocerebrovascular diseases.However,the mean blood pressure can not completely explain the target organ damage caused by hypertension and the benefits of antihypertensive treatment.A series of studies have demonstrated that blood pressure variability (BPV) is the risk factor for ischemic stroke independent of the mean blood pressure,and there was also a significant correlation between BPV and ischemic stroke.In recent years,the research of BPV has gradually become a hot spot in the field of prevention and treatment of ischemic stroke.However,the specific relevance between BPV and ischemic stroke is not entirely clear.This article briefly reviews the relationship between BPV and ischemic stroke.
