Aim To investigate the changes of Na~+,K~+-ATPase activity and ? isoforms in rat neurons suffered from global ischemia.Methods The BCAL rat was induced by bilateral carotid artery ligation.The contents of H_2O,Na~+ and K~+ in brain tissue were detected.The method of spectrophotometry was applied to measure the activities of Na~+,K~+-ATPase.With immunohistochemical assay,the expression of the Na~+,K~+-ATPase ?_1,?_2,or ?_3 isoform was detected in neurons of rat hippocampus and cortex following ischemia.Results In the BCAL rats,the contents of H_2O and Na~+ were increased while the content of K~+ and the activity of Na~+,K~+-ATPase were decreased.The ?_1,?_2 or ?_3 isoform of Na~+,K~+-ATPase distributed in a tissue-specific fashion in neurons of hippocampus and cortex,in which ?_1 and ?_3 were abundant and ?_3 was more than ?_1,but ?_2 was much less.In BCAL rat,?_1 and ?_3 isoforms were significantly decreased in hippocampus and cortex neurons.Conclusion These results suggest that the changes of Na~+,K~+-ATPase ?_1 and ?_3 isoforms may be involved in the global cerebral ischemia

Aim To explore the effects of hypertension on the contractibility of rat basilar artery and its inter-actions with the sodium pump activity.Methods The basilar artery was respectively isolated from Wistar and SHR rats,and the isometric tension of arterial rings was measured by Multi Myograph System-610M.The cont-ractibilities of arterial rings induced by KCl or 5-HT were compared between the basilar arteries of the two groups of rats to analyze the effect of hypertension on the cerebral vascular tension and the activity of sodium pump.Results In SHR rats,the concentration-re-sponse curves of the contraction of isolated basilar ar-tery rings induced by KCl and 5-HT were significantly shifted to right,and the relaxation of vascular tone in-duced by K+which was reintroduced from the external was attenuated compared with those in the WR.These results suggested that hypertension could significantly decrease the activity of the sodium pump and the con-tractile responses of KCl and 5-HT.OUA could con-tract the basilar artery in a concentration-dependent manner,and its concentration-response curve was opti-mally fitted by a two-site binding model:Kd was 1.7 ×10 -8 and 1.6 ×10 -5 mol·L-1,respectively.The results indicated that the two different function sodium pumps existed in the rat basilar artery:one with the high OUA affinity and the other with the low OUA af-finity.If the high and low affinity sodium pumps were inhibited by 5 ×10 -7 and 10 -4 mol · L-1 OUA,re-spectively,the concentration-response curves of KCl and 5-HT would shift to left in SHR rats but not in WR rats.It suggested that OUA could enhance the contrac-tion induced by KCl and 5-HT significantly,and a concentration-dependent effect was observed in the SHR vascular contraction induced by 5-HT (r =0.9393 ,P<0.05 ).When the two concentrations of OUA were applied,there was no significant difference in the shift left of the concentration-response curves in-duced by KCl in the SHR cerebral vessels.However, the marked difference was shown in the shift left in-duced by 5-HT.The results implied that only the high affinity sodium pump was involved in the contractile re-sponse of SHR cerebral vascular to KCl,whereas,the contractile response of SHR cerebral vascular to 5-HT was induced by both high and low affinity sodium pumps.Conclusion Hypertension could lower the contractile response of the basilar artery to vasocon-strictors,and the mechanism might relate to the de-creased sensitivity of the sodium pump induced by hy-pertension or the increased sensibility of the sodium pump to OUA.

Aim To explore the relations between anti-apoptotic role of dipfluzine (DIP) and the death signaling transduction pathway initiated by CD95 molecules, and the transcription factor involved in the transcription regulation of CD95 molecules in the hippocampal CA1 region after transient forebrain ischemia. Methods The rat forebrain transient ischemia model was established through 15 min ischemia followed by 3 days reperfusion by using the four-vessel method. The rats were divided randomly into five groups: sham control group, ischemia / reperfusion (I/R) group, DIP treated groups (20, 40 and 80 mg·kg-1 body weight, ig, separately). Western blotting and RT-PCR were performed to detect the expression changes of Fas, FasL, caspase 10 p20, caspase 8, I-κB-α, and p-I-κB-α molecules in protein and mRNA levels, separately, and immunohistochemistry for molecular localization of Fas and FasL in rat hippocampus. Results The expression of Fas, FasL, and caspase 10 p20 in protein and mRNA levels increased after I/R, which was inhibited significantly after treatment with 20 and 40 mg·kg-1 of DIP (P<0.01). In 80 mg·kg-1 of DIP group, the expression of Fas and FasL protein was not significantly different from that of I/R group (P>0.05). The expression of caspase 8 and I-κB-α showed no significant differences in all groups (P>0.05), and no gene expression was observed for p-I-κB-α protein in the study. DIP significantly affected molecular distribution of Fas and FasL protein in CA1 subregion of hippocampus. Conclusion DIP inhibits the death signaling transduction pathway initiated by CD95 molecules in rat hippocampal CA1 subregion, and NF-κB transcription factor may not be involved in the transcription regulation of CD95 molecules after transient forebrain ischemia.

Objective To investigate the expression of tissue factor and explore its clinical significances in pulmonary artery after acute pulmonary thromboembolism.Methods Thirty-four Japanese white rabbits (Level Ⅱ animals) were randomly (random number) assigned into four groups:group A (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 3 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group B (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 8 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group C (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 24 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8) and control group (pseudo-operations were carried out without injecting autologous blood clots,n =10).The animal model of pulmonary thromboembolism was established by injecting autologous blood clots into jugular vein through a 5F catheter and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography.The mRNA expression of TF in different parts of pulmonary artery was assayed by RT-PCR.The q test was utilized if there was a significant difference in a given continuous variable among three groups analyzed by ANOVA.Results The TF expression in the specimen adjacentto emboli was stable at 3 h,8 h or 24 hours after embolism.The mRNA expression of TF at 3 h and 8 h after embolism was lower in specimen taken from distal-end of morbid pulmonary artery than those adjacent to emboli.While at 24 hours after embolism,there were similar mRNA expressions in specimen either adjacent or distal to emboli.Conclusions The high expression of tissue factor in pulmonary artery tissue adjacent to emboli could lead to locally increased coagulation activity,indicating the necessity of initiating anti-coagulation treatment as soon as possible after acute pulmonary embolism.

Aim To observe effects of hypertension on contractile/diastolic function and calcium transient in rats ventricular myocytes. Methods The model of one-kidney-one-clip (1k1c) hypertensive rat was pre-pared by partially ligating the left renal artery and removing the right kidney. Left ventricular myocytes were enzymatically isolated. Then the contraction and calcium transient of a single cell from both normal and renovascular hypertensive rats were observed by a video-based motion edge-detection system simultaneously. Effects of calcium in various concentrations on contractile/diastolic function and calcium transient in ventricular myocytes from renovascular hypertensive rats were assessed in the same way. Results Compared with normal cardiac myocytes, the shorting amplitude and the contractile and diastolic velocity were increased significantly in 1k1c hypertensive rat cardiac myocytes. However their intracellular calcium in contractile and diastolic periods, the extent of calcium transient and the parameters of intracellular calcium dynamics were unchanged. But the extracellular calcium of different concentrations could shift the Fura-2 fluorescence ratio-cell shorting amplitude curve from hypertension rat myocytes to the left compared with that from normal rats. Conclusions The hypertension increases the contractility of rat cardiac myocytes, which is due to raising their sensitivity to calcium.

Aim To observe the effects of low concentration ouabain(OUA)on intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in guinea pig ventricular myocytes.Methods The guinea-pig ventricular myocytes were obtained by enzymatic dissociation technique, then were incubated with Fluo3-AM. The Fluo3-AM fluorescent signal was detected with confocal laser scanning microscopy. The change of [Ca2+]i was represented by the percentage of fluorescence intensity change [(FI-FI0)/FI0,%] (FI: fluorescent intensity after addimg OUA, FI0: control). Results In normal Tyrode,s solution and Ca2+-free Tyrode′s solution.OUA (1?10-9~1?10-6 mol?L-1)elevated [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner, in normal Tyrode′s solution by 16.7?6.8(P0.05).Genistein (GST) (1、10、50、100 ?mol?L-1)abolished the OUA-induced increases in[Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner by 17.5?3.1、14.2?8.9、0.8?7.6(P

OBJECTIVE:To explore the repairing effect and mechanism of Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula on the mucosal dam-age of rats with ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS:72 rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,mesalamine group(positive control,0.3 g/kg),Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula low-dose,medium-dose,high-dose groups(5,10,20 g/kg),12 in each group. Except for blank group,other groups were induced UC model. After 4 d of modeling,rats in administration groups received related medicines,ig,blank group and model group received normal saline,ig,once a day,for 2 weeks. After administra-tion,disease activity index(DAI)and mucosal damage index(CMDI)of rats were observed;IL-8,TNF-α contents in serum and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) expression in colon tissue were detected. RESULTS:Compared with blank group,DAI and CMDI scores in model group were increased;IL-8,TNF-α contents in serum were increased;COX-2 expression in colon tissue was en-hanced,with statistical significances (P<0.05). Compared with model group,DAI and CMDI scores in model group were de-creased;IL-8,TNF-α contents in serum were reduced;COX-2 expression in colon tissue was weakened,with statistical signifi-cances (P<0.05). Compared with mesalamine group, the above-mentioned indicators in Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula medi-um-dose,high-dose groups changed more obviously (P<0.05),and effects of Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula showed significant dose-effect relationship. CONCLUSIONS:Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula can improve disease activity status of UC rats and reduce colon mucosal damage,and the effects of medium-dose and high-dose Huazhuo jiedu yukui formula were better than mesalamine, which may be related to reducing inflammatory reaction and inhibiting COX-2 expression in colon tissue.
