The findings showed that all heart rate variables improved remarkably at the three time periods after acupuncture treatment, with significant differences (P＜0.01); but there was no significant difference in the curative effects among the three time periods.

AIM: To investigate the role of fatty acid translocase/CD36 (FAT/CD36) in adipose tissue in-flammation induced by a high-fat diet.METHODS:C57BL/6J mice were fed with a normal-chow diet ( NCD) or a high-fat diet ( HFD) for 14 weeks.The content of free fatty acid ( FFA) in the serum was measured by ELISA.The expression of CD36, cytokines and chemokines at mRNA and protein levels in the adipose tissues was determined by real-time poly-merase chain reaction and Western blotting.Immunohistochemical staining was used to examine the macrophages infiltration in the adipose tissues.The inflammatory responses in CD36 knockout mice and wild type mice with high-fat diet were ana-lyzed.RESULTS:The levels of FAT/CD36 were higher in HFD group than that in NCD group.HFD feeding enhanced the mRNA and protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1 and MIP-1, as well as promoted macrophage infiltration in the adipose tissues.Interestingly, as fed with HFD, the expression of cytokines/chemokines and macrophage infiltration were significantly reduced in adipose tissues of the CD36 knockout mice, compared with the wild type mice.CONCLU-SION:High-fat diet promotes adipose tissue inflammation in the mice in a FAT/CD36-dependent manner.

Objective　we studied the effect of the Purine mucleoside Valaciclovir on anti-duck hepatitis virus(DHBV) in vivo to provide an experimental basis for clinical treatment of patients with hepatitisB.Methods　The Chongqing duck hepatitis B virus model was treated with Valaciclovir once a day for a month at the doses of 50mg.kg－1、100mg.kg-1、200mg.kg－1of body weight per day. Serum DHBV DNA was detected four times in the course of the treatment,ALT and AST in serum and DHBV DNA in liver were detected simultaneously.Results　Valaciclovir could signsificantly lower the serum DHBV DNA level. Serum ALT of several ducks in serum rose slightly during the treatment,but became normal after 1 week stopping Valaciclovir. Examination of DHBV DNA in liver with Southern Blot indicated Valaciclovir could inhibit DHBV DNA replication,but could not completely eliminate DHBV SC DNA.Conclusion　The study confirms the safety and potent antihepaticviral activity of Valaciclovir in vivo.

Objective To investigate the influence of electroacupuncturing Neiguan points on mitochondrial Ca2+release and cardiomyocyte apoptosis of diabetic cardiomyopathy in rats. Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and a treatment group(10 in each group). In the treatment group, after eight weeks electroacupuncture Neiguan point treating diabetic cardiomyopathy in rats, the myocardium was quickly removed,mitochondrial was extracted,dual-beam UV spectrophotometer was adopted to detecting Ca2+transportation by testing Ca2+indicator A Ⅲ absorbance, and Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was evaluated by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated deoxy-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). Results Ca2+ indicator A Ⅲ absorbance detection(0.051±0.014) and cardiomyocyte apoptosis(0.49±0.36)were more depressed in the treatment group than in the model group[(0.077±0.025), (0.53±0.04)], there were significantly different(P<0.05) Conclusion Effect of Electroacupuncturing Neiguan points decreased myocardial apoptosis index in rats with diabetic cardiomyopathy, which may be related to the reduction of mitochondrial Ca2+influx.
