A polymer film of vitamin B1 was obtained at a graphite carbon electrode by cyclic voltammetric method in phosphate buffer solution (PBS). Cyclic voltammograms of the film electrode in PBS (pH 5) exhibited one pair redox waves, Epa=350 mV,Epc=325 mV,different from monomer vitamin B1. The peak currents of poly-VB1 films was proportional to (scan rate)1/2, which showed that the charge transfer was controlled by diffusion in the polymer film. The Poly-VB1 modified electrode showed a good catalytic ability to dopamine and epinephrine. At the modified electrod, the peak potential for oxidation of dopamine occurred at 250 mV and 200 mV for epinephrine, while they were shifted towards the negative direction 100 mV and 300 mV respectively at the bare glassy carbon electrode . And their peak current had a linear relationship to the concentrations in the range of 8.0×10-7~1.0×10-4 mol/L for dopamine and 1.0×10-6~1.0×10-4 mol/L for epinephrine.

Objective To investigate the relationship between renin (REN) gene G10631A, angiotensinogen (AGT) gene T704C mononucleotide polymorphisms and cerebral infarction and to investigate the mechanisms and characteristics of cerebral infarction from molecular level. Methods REN gene G1063A and AGT gene T704C polymorphisms in 82 patients with cerebral infarction and 89 controls were detected with polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism. The differences of the genotypes and allele frequencies were compared between the patient group and the control group. Results The frequency of REN 10631AA genotype (31. 7% vs. 10. 1%,χ2 =12. 816, P = 0. 002) and the frequency of A genotype (49. 4% vs. 30. 3% χ2 = 12. 969, P =0. 000), as well as the frequency of AGT 704 CC genotype (63. 4% vs. 34. 8% χ2 = 15. 029, P = 0. 001) and the frequency of A genotype (79. 9% vs. 61. 2% χ2 = 14. 173, P = 0. 000) in the cerebral infarction group were all significantly higher than those in the control group; the frequency of haplotype 704C 10631A was also significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0. 000). Conclusions REN 10631AA genetype and A allele as well as AGT 704 CC genetype and C allele may be the susceptible factors of cerebral infarction. Haplotype 704C-10631 A may be a genetic risk factor for the occurrence of cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the effect and molecular mechanism of proteasome inhibitor in TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis resistance on malignant lymphoma cells.Methods Raji cells were treated with TRAIL and proteasome inhibitor (PS-341) in vitro and the cell growth index was evaluated by MTT assay; cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry; the protein and mRNA level of Bax were measured by Western blotting and real time RT-PCR. Results TRAIL inhibited proliferation of Raji cells at the concentration of 500 μg/L, but the inhibition rate was lower than that of the control cell:Hmy2.ciR.TRAIL arrested cell in G0/G1 phase. The Bax protein in Raji is degraded, but the Bax mRNA expression level does not change significantly .The effects of TRAIL was enhanced significantly 10 nmol/L PS-341 was added. Conclusion Raji cells are resistant in TRAIL-induced apoptosis. This effect may be related to the decrease of Bax protein. The Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the degradation of Bax in TRAIL-treated Raji cells.

Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), plasma fibrino-gen (FIB), platelet aggregation rate and blood clots-fibrinolytic dynamic figure were taken as indexes in the evalua-tion of anticoagulant activity in vivo of active component F2-2 from Eupolyphaga seu Steleophaga. After 5 days of hypodermic injection of adrenaline, the rat model of acute blood stasis was established. Indexes were determined af-ter the model rats were treated with an intragastric administration of F2-2 for 9 days. The results showed that com-pared with the model group, PT/APTT was prolonged, FIB content was decreased, platelet aggregation rate and the largest of blood coagulation were declined after 9 days of intragastric administration in the model group. However, there was no difference on TT. It was concluded that the anticoagulant component F2-2 separated from E. seu Steleophaga showed favorable anticoagulant activity in vivo. However, its mechanism remained unknown and request-ed further researches.

This article was aimed to study macroporous resin adsorption kinetics for effective extraction of water ex-tracting with alcohol precipitating in cicada slough. PT, APTT and the coagulation-fibrinolysis dynamic figure were taken as main indexes, which were combined with static and dynamic tests, to select the best macroporous resin to separate and purify the extraction. Adsorption kinetics curve was drawn to fit the adsorption kinetics model. The re-sults showed that NKA-9 macroporous resin was more effective in separating and purifying effective extraction than others. The adsorption dynamic behavior was well described by the pseudo-second-order kinetics equation. It was concluded that the adsorption rate was mainly controlled by the intraparticle diffusion.
