Aim To investigate the effect of tanshinoneⅡA(TSN) on the hypertrophy induced by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)in the primary culture of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Cardiomyocytes of Wistar rats were cultured with pancreatin and preplating technique. The hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes was induced with angiotensinⅡ, and intervened with TanshinoneⅡA and Valsartan. The effect of TSN on cardiomyocytewas evaluated by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-3,5-diphenylformazan (MTT) assay. As the index of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, protein synthesis rate was measured by ~3H-Leucine incorporation and the cell size was determined by phase contrast microscope. The proto-oncogene c-fos、c-myc and c-jun mRNA expressions were assessed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Exposure of cultured cardiomyocytes to TSN (5~80 ?mol?L~ -1 ) for 24 h produced marginal cytotoxicity. Additonally, myocyte monolayers continued to contract synchronously in the presence of TSN. With the treatment of cardiomyocytes by AngII for 7 days, the cell size of cardiomyocytes of the group of Ang Ⅱ(28.5?3.8) ?m increased more prominently than the group of control(19.8?1.9) ?m(P

Aim To observe effects of Sodium tanshinoneⅡA sulfonate(STS) on angiotensionⅡ(AngⅡ)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase1/2 (p-ERK1/2). Methods In the primary culture of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, as indexes of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, the total protein was determined by coomassie brilliant blue and protein synthesis rate was measured by [3H]-Leucine incorporation. The expression of p-ERK1/2 was assessed using Western blot and fluorescence microscope. Results ① The total protein and protein synthesis rate stimulated by Ang Ⅱ(1 ?mol?L-1)in the cardiomyocytes increased significantly in contrast to that of control; STS could effectively decrease the increased total protein level induced by Ang Ⅱand markedly inhibit synthesis of protein. ② AngⅡ(1 ?mol?L-1) had the effect of promoting activation of ERK1/2 and then appeared in nucleus rapidly. The translocation process of ERK1/2 induced by AngⅡ was blocked distinctly by STS. ③ Cardiomyocyte pretreated with Ang Ⅱ(1 ?mol?L-1)for 5 min, the p-ERK1/2 protein expression began to increase ,the peak effect was at 10 min. While pretreatment with STS(2, 10, 50 ?mol?L-1) ,Ang Ⅱ-induced increase in p-ERK1/2 were inhibited evidently. ④ In pretreatment of cardiomyocyte with STS in different doses for 30 min, STS was found to be able to inhibit the expression of p-ERK1/2 stimulated by AngⅡ in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions The results suggested that activation of ERK1/2 might play an important role in cardiomyocytes hypertrophy induced by Ang Ⅱ,and the anti-hypertrophic effect of STS on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by AngⅡ might be associated to its inhibitory effect on ERK signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of TanshinoneⅡA (TSN) on the cell hypertrophy induced by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) in the primary culture of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Method The effect of TSN on cardiomyocyte was evaluated by the 3-[4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl] -3, 5-diphenylformazan (MTF) assay. As the index of eardiomyocyte hypertrophy, protein synthesis rate was measured by H-Leucine incorporation and the cell size was determined by phase contrast microscope. The proto-oncogene c-los mRNA and c-jun mRNA expression was assessed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Exposure of the myocytes to TSN (5~80 mmol/L) for 24hours produced no cytotoxicity. Protein synthesis rate and proto-oneogene c-fos and c-Jun mRNA expression of eardinmyoeytes increased significantly after AngⅡtreatment, and TSN inhibited these effect of AngⅡ.Conclusions TSN can prevent the hypertrophy of eardiomyocytes induced by AngⅡ, which be attributable relate to the decreased expression of proto-oncogene c-los and c-jun mRNA by TSN.

Journal of Third Military Medical University 2001;23(4):481-483
Objective To investigate the validity of the Chinese version of the Symptom Check-List-90 (the SCL-90) in Chinese population. Methods A total of 624 normal person and 268 out patients were examined with the SCL-90. Results (1)The internal consistency of the original subscales was found to be good and Cronbach's coefficient alpha ranged from 0.78 to 0.90; (2)Discrimination function analysis based on the 9 original subscales showed that the power of the SCL-90 in discriminating the patients and the community was good with a corrective rate of 80.6%; (3)Factor analysis on the items of the questionnaire yielded a very strong un-rotated first factor which could represent other factors; (4)High inter-correlations were found between the 9 original subscales of the SCL-90 with a correlation coefficient ranging from 0.39 to 0.79. Conclusion (1) The SCL-90 is acceptable as a research setting and psychiatric screening inventory; (2) The SCL-90 does not have potential as an inventory to distinguish different diagnostic groups; (3) The SCL-90 is not a multidimensional inventory.

Using a UPLC-MS/MS (MRM) and cocktail probe substrates method, the metabolic fingerprint of the compatibility of Radix Aconite (RA) and Radix Paeoniae Alba (RPA) and its effect on CYP450 enzymes were investigated. These main CYP isoforms include CYP 1A2, CYP 2C, CYP 2E1, CYP 2D and CYP 3A. Compared with the inhibition effect of RA decoctions on CYP450 isoforms, their co-decoctions of RA and RPA with different proportions can decrease RA' inhibition on CYP3A, CYP2D, CYP2C and CYP1A2, but can not reduce RA' effect on CYP2E1. The metabolic fingerprints of RA decoction and co-decoctions with different proportions of RPA in CYP450 of rat liver were analyzed by UPLC-MS. Compared with the metabolic fingerprints of RA decoction, the intensity of diester-diterpenoid aconitum alkaloids decreased significantly, while the intensity of monoester-diterpenoid alkaloids significantly increased in the metabolic fingerprints of co-decoctions of RA and RPA. The results suggest that RA coadministration with RPA increased the degradation of toxic alkaloid and show the effect of toxicity reducing and efficacy enhancing.
