Objective Large-conductance culcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channel modulates vascular smooth muscle tone. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that salt, one of the factors which significantly influence bleed pressure (BP), can regulate BKCa activity and then elevate blood pressure. Methods Male Spragne-Dawley rats aged 6 weeks were randomized into high salt diet group (HS) and control group, fed with high salt diet (containing 5% NaCi) and standard rat chow (containing 0.4% NaCl) respectively for 16 weeks. Tail systolic blood pressure (SBP), body weight (BW) and 24-hour urinary output were tested every 4 weeks. Content of urinary Na+ was detected using flame spectrophotometrical method. At the end of 16 weeks, all the rats were killed, the mesenteric arteries were obtained, and single mesenteric smooth muscle cells were isolated at once. The resting membrane potential (Em), the total potassium currents and the currents after perfusion with TEA solution of the cells were all recorded by whole cell patch clamp. The transcriptions of BKCa channel α and β1 sobunits in mesenteric arterial vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) of each group were calculated by real-time RT-PCR. Results There was no difference in SBP and BW at each stage between control group and HS group; the urinary Na+ level in HS animals was elevated significantly after 4 weeks.The negative values of Em in HS group VSMCs were reduced compared with these in the control group. Transcriptions of β1 subanit of BKCa channels were decreased in HS group, but α subunit transcriptions did not differ between the two groups. Whole cell potassium currents did not differ hetween HS and control groups, but BKCa currents of HS group VSMCs were lower than these of control group ones. Conclusion Even without elevating SBP, salt-loading can still modulate the expression and activity of BKCa channel in the mesenteric arterial VSMC and elevate vascular tone.

Objective To study the clinical role of the variation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8)concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods ELISA method was adopted to detect serum MMP-8 concentration and to observe concentration's differences and features among 80 selected ACS cases (43 acute myocardial infarction and 37 unstable angina pectoris), 43 stable angina pectoris (SAP) cases and 37 control cases.And meanwhile the atherosclerosis risk factors of each case, such as age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, smoking,family history, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were collected and analyzed as a whole. Results First, serum MMP-8 concentration reached the highest point in ACS, and there was significant difference between SAP and control groups (P<0.01). Second, sermn MMP-8 in AMI was much higher than that in UAP with significant difference (P<0.01). There was no difference between UAP and SAP groups (P>0.05). Third, Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum MMP-8 concentration might be the indicator of ACS (B=4.493, P=0.000), particularly, that of AMI (B=9.961,P=0.000). Fourth, linear correlation and linear regression analysis found that only neutrophil was likely to influence serum MMP-8 concentration (r=0.274, P=0.001). Fifth, in the diagnosis of ACS, the area under ROC curve of MMP-8 was 0.785, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion ① Serum MMP-8 concentration has close relationship with the occurrence of ACS, particularly with AMI;② Serum MMP-8 concentration may be one of the predicting indicators of ACS and particularly of AMI;③ Neutrophil may be correlated with serum MMP-8 concentration;④ MMP-8 is of somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

Objective Our previous study showed that cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are expressed in choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and the expression of COX-2 is prior to VEGF, indicating that COX-2 is probably one of upstream regulatory factors of VEGF. The aim of this study was to observe inhibition and mechanism of intravitreous injection of celecoxib, a selective COX-2 inhibitor, on experimental choroidal neovascularization in a laser-induced rat model. Methods Retinal photocoagulation was performed in 36 right eyes of 36 male Brown Norway rats to establish CNV models with the laser parameter as follows:wavelength 532 nm, power 80 mW, spot diameter 100 p, m and time shutter 100 ms. Eight or ten spots were irradiated in the position of 1.5 - 2. 0 PD to optic disc. Celecoxib or normal saline solution was intravitreously injected via scleral incision in 18 right eyes of 18 rats, respectively. The thickness and area of CNV were qualified by HE staining(n =3) and by choroidal flatmount (n =3) at day 14 after photocoagulation under the light microscope. The expressions of VEGF and COX-2 in RPE-choroid-sclera complex were examined by Western blot(n =6) and RT-PCR(n =6) at day 7 after photocoagulation. The experimental procedure followed the Standard of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. The license for animal administration was obtained. Results After intravitreous injection with celecoxib, the thickness and area of CNV were significantly smaller in celecoxib group than normal saline group on 14 days (69. 75 μm ± 7. 50 μm vs 45. 84 μm ± 5. 59 μm in thickness and 87 854 pixel~2 ± 6 735 pixel~2 vs 61 101 pixel~2 ± 6 314 pixel~2 in area, P =0.00). The expressions of VEGF protein and mRNA were obviously lower in celecoxib group compared with normal saline group(t = 3. 755, P = 0.02; t =3. 155, P =0. 03) . No significant difference was found in expression of COX-2 mRNA between the two groups (t = 0. 581, P = 0. 59). Conclusion Intravitreous injection of celecoxib can effectively inhibit CNV by downregulating VEGF level, which is a new approach for the treatment of CNV.
