Aim To investigate the effects of cajanonic acid A (CAA) on lipid metabolism in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Methods 3T3-L1 cells induced to differ-entiated into mature adipocytes were treated with CAA in different dosages for 48 h, then total lipids as well as triglyceride, free fatty acid and glycerol were meas-ured. The expression levels of genes related to lipid metabolism were quantitatively analyzed by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymearase chain reaction ( RTFQ-PCR) . Results Total lipids and triglyceride in 3T3-L1 adipocytes were markedly reduced by CAA. The release of free fatty acid and glycerol was lower than that of control. This coincided with decreased mRNA levels of the key enzymes involved in de novo lipogenesis ( acetyl CoA carboxylase and fatty acid syn-thase) , fatty acid uptake ( lipoprotein lipase) , and li-polysis ( hormone sensitive lipase and adipose triglycer-ide lipase ) . While the expression of fatty acid oxida-tive genes including acyl CoA oxidase and carnitine palmitoyl transferase1 was increased after CAA treat-ment. Conclusion CAA may inhibit lipogenesis and lipolysis,reduce circulating free fatty acid and improve the lipid metabolism in adipocytes by regulating gene expressions.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of perindopril on myocardial energy metabolism and ultrastructural changes in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF) induce by isoproterenol. MethodsTotally 55 male SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into two groups, namely control group (Group C) and CHF model group. The CHF rat models were made by subcutaneous injection of isopreteronol (ISO) in doses of 20 mg · kg-1 · d-1, 10mg · kg-1 · d-1 and 5 mg/kg/d for successive 3 days and then 3 mg· kg-1· d-1 for9 days. Four weeks later, the rats in CHF model group were randomly further divided into two subgroups, namely untreated subgroup (group M ) and perindopril treated subgroup (group P). After treatment for five weeks in average, echocardiography and myocardial pathology examination carried out to assess the cardiac function and structure changes of these rats. The levels of ATP, ADP, AMP, lactic acid (LA) and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA) activity in myocardium were determined by enzymatic reaction. ResultsCompared with rats in group M, the ejection fraction of left ventricle (EF) and fractional shortening of short axis of left ventricle (FS) of the rats in group P increased by 3.25％ and 7. 33％, respectively. Compared with rats in group C, the myocardial ATP, AMP, TAN (total adenosine) and LA significantly decreased in rats of group M. There were no significant differences in the levels of ADP, AMP, ATP/ADP and TAN between group C and group P (P ＞0. 05). Compared with rats in group M, the myocardial SERCA activity increased by 16. 41％ in rats of group P. The myocardial injury found under microscope and electronic microscope was ameliorated by treatment with peidolapril in rats of group P in comparison with rats of group M. ConclusionsPerindopril can improve myocardial energy metabolism,and lessen the pathological changes of ultrastructure, enhancing the cardiac function of rats with CHF induced by ISO.

AIM:To establish a liquid chromatography method for determining the monosaccharide composition of human lipoproteins, and to investigate the differences between diabetic patients and healthy participants.METHODS:Liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization was used to determine the neutral and basic monosaccharides, and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was applied to quantify N-acetylneuraminic acid content.RESULTS:The contents of mannose, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, galactose and N-acetylneuraminic acid in high-density lipoprotein from healthy participants and diabetic patients were (5.88 ±0.94),(16.49 ±4.11),(1.31 ±0.33), (0.87 ±0.16), (7.18 ±1.64), (2.14 ±0.12) mmol/(g protein) and (8.68 ±0.39), (24.73 ±5.50), (1.91 ±0.54), (1.23 ±0.35), (9.73 ±2.85), (3.53 ±0.27) mmol/(g protein), respectively.The contents of mannose, glu-cosamine,N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, galactose and N-acetylneuraminic acid in low-density lipoprotein from healthy par-ticipants and diabetic patients were ( 29.20 ±3.57 ) , ( 50.77 ±4.72 ) , ( 5.28 ±0.64 ) , ( 10.06 ±1.37 ) , ( 28.44 ± 3.96),(6.86 ±0.11) mmol/(g protein) and (30.08 ±3.78), (38.52 ±6.38), (3.79 ±0.78), (7.63 ±1.50), (20.05 ±2.63), (6.45 ±0.18) mmol/(g protein), respectively.The contents of mannose, glucosamine, glucose, ga-lactose and N-acetylneuraminic acid in very-low-density lipoprotein from healthy participants and diabetic patients were (91.21 ±4.12), (27.05 ±2.34), (4 230.95 ±15.83), (43.40 ±3.75), (2.95 ±0.24) mmol/(g protein) and (82.40 ±0.51), (30.16 ±0.32), (4 722.73 ±93.27), (34.05 ±2.81), (4.42 ±0.15) mmol/(g protein), respec-tively.CONCLUSION:Liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization is suitable for the neutral and basic mono-saccharide analysis in human lipoproteins, and the glycosylation of lipoproteins in diabetic patients are significantly changed compared with the healthy controls.

In our previous work, we found that trivalent dimethylarsinous acid (DMA(III)) have high affinity binding to cysteine residue 13 of rat hemoglobin. However, it is still unknown why arsenic intermediate metabolite DMA(III) has high binding affinity for Cysl3 but not for other cysteine residues 93, 140, 111 and 125. In order to better understand the molecular mechanism of DMA(III) with rat hemoglobin, we have done current study. So, SD rats were divided into control and arsenic-treated groups randomly. Arsenic species in lysate of red blood cells were analyzed by HPLC-ICP-MS, and then determined by a hybrid quadrupole TOF MS. In addition, trivalent DMA(III) binds to different cysteine residues in rat hemoglobin alpha and beta chains were also simulated by Molecular Docking. Only Cys13 in alpha chain is able to bind to DMA(III) from the experiment results. Cys13 of alpha chain in rat hemoglobin is a specific binding site for DMA(III), and we found that amino acids compose pockets structure and surround Cys13 (but not other cysteine residues), make DMA(III) much easy to bind cysteine 13. Taken together, the DMA(III) specific binding to Cys13 is related to spatial structure of Cys13.

OBJECTIVETo purify the arsenic-binding proteins (As-BP) in hamster plasma after a single oral administration of arsenite (iAs(III)).

METHODSArsenite was given to hamsters in a single dose. Three types of HPLC columns, size exclusion, gel filtration and anion exchange columns, combined with an inductively coupled argon plasma mass spectrometer (ICP MS) were used to purify the As-BP in hamster plasma. SDS-PAGE was used to confirm the arsenic-binding proteins at each purification step.

RESULTSThe three-step purification process successfully separated As-BP from other proteins (ie, arsenic unbound proteins) in hamster plasma. The molecular mass of purified As-BP in plasma was approximately 40-50 kD on SDS-PAGE.

CONCLUSIONThe three-step purification method is a simple and fast approach to purify the As-BP in plasma samples.

Objective To survey ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to find the specific clinical features of patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Methods A total of 198 patients were divided into two groups according to the ratio of ST-segment resolution:relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (＞ 50％) and inadequate STsegment resolution group (＜ 50％).The clinical features,infarct-related artery and PCI-related evants were evaluated,and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE including target vessel revascularization,recurrent myocardial infarction,or death) were recorded during hospitalization and follow-up period.Multivariate logistic analysis was used to identify relevant factors influencing ST-segment resolution of STEMI patients after treatment with PCI.The Statistical analyses of data were carried out using SPSS 10.0 software.Results (1) There were 156 patients with relativey adequate ST-segment resolution and 42 patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Of them,there were higher percentage of patients aged over 75years in the inadequate ST-segment resolution group than those in the relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (9 cases,21.4％ vs.14 cases,9.0％ ; P ＜0.05).(2) In inadequate ST-segment resolution group,thetotal ischemic time was significant longer [(5.2 ±2.2) h vs.(3.0 ± 1.6) h,P ＜0.01].The infarctrelated artery (IRA) was more common at left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (27 cases,64.3％ vs.69 cases,44.2％; P ＜ 0.05) and there were fewer patients with TIM grade 3 of IRA in inadequate ST-segment resolution group after primary PCI than that in relative adequate ST-segment resolution group (32 cases,76.2％ vs.140 cases,89.7％ ; P ＜ 0.05).There was a lower rate of using GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist and a higher rate of prescribing IABP in inadequate ST-segment resolution group.(3) There is a higher incidence of MACE during hospitalization and follow-up period in patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.(4) Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,the total ischemic time were related to ST-segment resolution.Conclusions The patients with age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,longer ischemia time,and unemployment GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist before PCI were prone to get inadequate ST-segment resolution and poor prognosis.Age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,and longer ischemic time were independent risk factors of the inadequate ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients after emergency PCI.

Objective:To investigate the difference of metabolomics between acute heart failure (AHF) patients and control. To find and validate new metabolic biomarkers.Methods:This was a single-center case-control study which included 89 acute heart failure patients admitted to the emergency department of Henan Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to June 2019. Eighty people without heart failure and diastolic dysfunction were enrolled as control group whose age and sex were matched to the study group. The fasting blood samples were collected from femoral arterial. Qualitative and quantitative analyses of plasma metabolites were performed in 2 groups by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS), Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model and ROC curve method were applied.Results:Compared with the control group, we found that AHF group had higher likelihood to groups with coronary heart disease (37% vs. 7%, P<0.001), hypertension (58% vs. 28%, P<0.001), diabetes (33% vs. 18%, P=0.033), atrial fibrillation (24% vs. 4%, P<0.001), smoking history (42% vs. 18%, P=0.001), and that AHF group had higher creatinine level [(121.6 ± 78.4) vs. (69.0 ± 21.0), P<0.001], higher urea level [(11.5 ± 7.6) vs. (6.2 ± 2.0), P<0.001], higher heart rate [(92 ± 23) vs. (78 ± 14), P<0.001], hypoproteinemia [(32.4 ± 5 .2) vs. (40.4 ± 2.2), P<0.001], and significantly increased BNP level [(4 200 ± 5 229) vs. (100 ± 68), P<0.001], lower left ventricular ejection fraction[(45 ± 8) vs. (57 ± 6), P<0.001], low serum sodium level ( P<0.001). The metabolites of AHF group were significantly different from those of the control group. The metabolites involved amino acids, fatty acids, lipids, nucleosides and their derivatives. Adenine, N-acetyl-L-glutamic, pseudouridine and Gamma-Glutamylcysteine had certain diagnostic value for AHF comparing to control. The AUC were 0.995, 0.932, 0.920 and 0.900. And the AUC value for BNP diagnosis of AHF is 0.978. Conclusions:There were significant differences in metabolism between AHF group and control group including multiple substances. Adenine, N-acetyl-L-glutamic, pseudouridine and Gamma-Glutamylcysteine has similar diagnostic value compared with BNP for diagnosing AHF.

This study was undertaken to elucidate the degradation regularity of calcium polyphosphate (CPP) scaffolds with different preparation parameters. CPP scaffolds with different main crystalline phases were prepared by controlling the particle size of the calcining stuff and the calcining heat. Specimens were soaked into Tris-buffer solution and simulated body fluid (SBF) for 60 days. Results show: alpha-CPP degrades faster than does beta-CPP, and beta-CPP degrades faster than does gamma-CPP; the lower the sinter temperature, the better the degradation of CPP morever, the degradation rate of CPP is inversely proportional to the original particle size. These data suggest that crystal type, sinter temperature and particle size influence the degradation rate of CPP markedly.
