Cardiovascular disease, with high morbidity and mortality, has been threatening the health of human beings. Therefore, expecting to find a more effective therapeutic method, a plenty of researchers devote themselves to the study of the cardiovascular disease all the time. Since discovered on the heart, M3 receptor of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAchR, M receptor) became a new starting point of the research of the cardiovascular disease. With more and more investigation, many people found that M3 receptor could protect the heart from kinds of cardiovascular disease, which may make it a new hopeful therapeutic point. So, expecting to give support to the reference and encouragement for the study of disease related to M3 receptor in future, this review expounds M3 receptor on the heart from the main following aspects: the effect on the heart, the influence on the cardiovascular disease and the mechanism of M3 receptor involved.

Objective To screen the HBV SPⅡ promoter DNA-binding protein, and to investigate its potential role in the regulation of replication and expression of HBV DNA. Methods By using HBV SPⅡ biotinylated promoter DNA as a selective molecule, the T7 select human liver cDNA library was biopanned and the positive clones were selected. After screening, amplification of positive plaques was performed for inserted DNA fragment and then they were cloned into the pGEM-Teasy vector. Results Four positive plaques were chosen for DNA sequencing. The binding protein of HBV SPⅡ promoter was demonstrated as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase 4 by BLAST. Conclusion The result suggests that this approach may provide a new tool for the study of replication and expression mechanism of HBV DNA.

AIM: To study the protocol and condition that induce bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) to differentiate into neuron in vitro by baicalin, a kind of flavonoid isolated from an important medicinal plant Scutellariae Radix . METHODS: MSCs from adult rats were induced by baicalin in serum-free medium for 6 h, and postinduced for 6 d. The morphological changes of MSCs were evaluated by light microscope. The positive percentages of neuron-specific enolase (NSE), 200-kilodalton neurofilament (NF), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin expression were measured by immunocytochemistry with ABC staining. Hoechst 33258 staining was used to measure the cell viability by fluorescence microscope. RESULTS: After induction for 6 d, MSCs displayed neuronal morphologies, such as pyramidal cell bodies and processes formed extensive networks. The positive percentages of NSE, NF, GFAP and vimentin protein expression were 70.5%?11.6%, 68.3%?13.4% ,

Objective Frontal resting EEG asymmetry was used to evaluate the gender effect of emotion regulation.Methods The resting EEG was recorded in 30 healthy volunteers (19-26 years old) by the guide 40 amplifier,and off-line analysis on EEG data were conducted by scan4.3 software.The statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 17.0.Results In normal human,frontal resting EEG alpha power was statistically significant(F=4.918,P =0.035).Asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =0.668,P =0.421),electrode point and gender interaction group (F =0.283,P =0.756),electrode point and asymmetry interaction group (F =1.418,P =0.260),electrode point,asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =1.164,P =0.327) had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).The comparison of male and female asymmetry degree of each electrode point (F4/F3 group t =0.465,F8/F7 groupt=0.809,FP2/FP1 group t=1.542) had no statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Normal human brain hemispheres exist asymmetry.The asymmetry does not exists gender effect.In non-task state,frontal resting EEG alpha power asymmetry can not be recognized as the indicator of emotion regulation ability.

Objective To compare the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) manifestations of pNENs with the pathological changes and to explore the clinical value of CEUS in diagnosis of pNENs. Methods The CEUS of sixteen pathologically diagnosed pNENsfrom April,2012 to February,2014 were retrospectively observed.The CEUS of thirty pathologically diagnosed pancreatic carcinomas during the same period were taken as the control group.The enhancement extent and enhancement patterns of CEUS in pancreatic tumors were analyzed. The specimens of pNENs were stained with HE and CD34 immunochemistry.The grading of interstitial content and Ki-67 index were obtained on HE-stained slices and microvascular density(MVD) were obtained on CD34 immunochemistry stained slices.Spearman rank test analysis was employed to analyze the correlation.Results Among the 16 cases of pNENs,12 cases (75.0%) demonstrated hyper-or iso-enhancement,which included 6 cases (37.5%) showing homogeneous enhancement and 6 cases (37.5%) showing inhomogeneousen hancement,and the other 4 cases demonstrated hypo-enhancement. Among 30 cases of pancreatic carcinomas,25 cases (83.3%) demonstrated hypo-enhancement and 5 cases (16.7%) hyper- or iso-enhancement,and 21 cases (70.0%) demonstrated homogenous enhancement,and 9 cases(30.0%)inhomogeneous enhancement.Taking hyper-or iso-enhancement on CEUS as the diagnostic criteria,its diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy were 75.0%,83.3%,70.6%,86.2%,80.4%respectively.Negative and positive correlation of the enhancement extent of pNENs with the interstitial content(r =-0.880,P < 0.001) and MVD (r =0.658,P =0.003) were observed,respectively.Six tumors with inhomogeneous enhancement contained cystic degradation or necrosis under microscope. Conclusions CEUS is an effective and non-invasive diagnostic approach for pNENs and can reflect the pathological changes.Hyper-or iso-enhancement of CEUS is typical appearance of pNENs.

Objective Recent researches find that endoplasmic reticulum is a new target for the treatment of cardiovascular disease and its stress response plays an important role in the hypertension-induced cardiovascular remodeling.The study built up the apoptosis model of endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVECs) and investigated the im-pact of 17β-estradiol ( E2) on the ERS apoptosis of HUVECs induced by tunicamycinand(TM)/dithiothreitol(DTT). Methods HUVECs incubated for 10 h in 10μmol/L TM or 8 h in 2 mmol/L DTT were the best concentration and time for ERS apoptosis.E2 of 10-8 mol/L was prominent in protecting ERS.According to the application of TM/DTT, E2, estrogen antagonists (ICI182, 780 and G15), there were 6 groups:control group, TM/DTT group, TM/DTT+E2 group, TM/DTT+E2 +G15 group, TM/DTT+E2 +ICI+G15 group.Western blot was applied to detect the expressions of biomarkers for ERS in-duced apoptosis (GRP78, cleaved caspase-12 and CHOP).Hochest staining was used to observe the changes of the apoptosis cell number. Results Compared with control group, the expressions of GRP78, caspase-12 and CHOP significantly increased(P<0.05).In comparison with TM group, the expressions of GRP78, caspase-12 and CHOP in TM+E2 group significantly decreased (6.80 ±1.07 vs 4.01 ±0.46, 1.54 ±0.32 vs 0.88 ±0.10, 1.91 ±0.37 vs 0.91 ± 0.02, P<0.05).In comparison with TM +E2 group, the CHOP expression in TM +E2 +ICI group increased(0.91 ±0.02 vs 0.96 ±0.02, P<0.05), and the expressions of GRP78 and caspase-12 in TM+E2 +G15 group increased(4.01 ±0.46 vs 5.25 ± 0.80, 0.88 ±0.10 vs 1.02 ±0.07, P<0.05), and the expressions of GRP78, caspase-12 and CHOP in TM+E2 +ICI+G15 group increased (P<0.05).Compared with DTT group, the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP in DTT+E2 group decreased (1.81 ± 0.08 vs 1.30 ±0.14, 1.00 ±0.13 vs 0.51 ±0.01, P<0.05).In comparison with DTT+E2 group, the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP in DTT+E2 +ICI group decreased(P <0.05), and the expression of GPR78 in DTT+E2 +G15 group increased(P<0.05), and the expressions of GRP78, caspase-12 and CHOP in DTT+E2 +ICI+G15 group increased(P<0.05).The change of the apop-tosis cell number observed by hochest staining was in consistence with the result of western blot. Conclusion E2 can protect human endothelial cells from ERS induced apoptosis caused by TM and DTT.Estrogen maintains homeostasis by regulating ERS estrogen re-ceptors, thereby protecting the cardiovascular system.
