Objective To Investigate the effects of antipsoriatic drugs on 5 lipoxygenase(5-LO) and set up a relevant pharmacodynamic method. Methods 5- LO products, leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and 5 hydroxyeicosatetraenoic(5-HETE), we re determined by RP-HPLC to represent 5-LO activity. Results Cyclosporin A( CyA) and triptolide(T0) inhibited the production of LTB4 and 5-HETE in a dose dependent manner, while erythromycin did without dose dependence. The 50% inhibitory concentration values(IC50) of CyA inhibiting LTB4 and 5-HETE were 3 8.0? g/mL and 0.96? g/mL, respectively. The IC50 of T0 inhibiting LTB4 and 5- HETE were 2.3? 10-6? g/mL and 1.14? 10-6? g/mL, respectively. Conclusio ns The anti inflammatory effect of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook.f. may be partl y explained by its inhibition of 5-LO activity. The anti inflammatory effect of CyA has no clinical significance since the inhibitory concentration of CyA h as exceeded its pharmacological limitation. Erythromycin has no effect on 5-LO activity.

Objective To report the clinical, myopathological and genetic features in myofibrillar myopathy (MFM) with numerous cytoplasmatic-spheroid bodies. Methods Ten patients in 5 successive generations began to present progressive proximal limbs weakness at 35 to 40 years old. Additionally, 4 cases manifested diarrhea and 6 cases accompanied with cardiorespiratory symptoms. An open biopsy was performed on the proband. In addition to histological, enzymhistochemical staining and ultrastructural examination, immunohistochemical staining with antibody against tau, desmin, ubiquitin, dysferlin, dystrophin-C', dystrophin-N' and dystrophin-R were done. All the exons of the MYOT, CRYAB, DESMIN, LDB3, LMNA, SEPNI gene and the FLNC exon 48 were analysed. Results Cytoplasmatic bodies and spheroid bodies were found in the fibers. The deposited material were positive for tau, desmin, ubiquitin, dysferlin and dystrophin-R, dystrophin-C'. Electron microscope showed granular dense Z-disc material in the inclusions which were surrounded by thin filament. There was no mutation in the above exons of the 7 candidate genes. Conclusions Myofibrillar myopathy involves multiple system impairment. Cytoplasmatic and spheroid bodies contain microtubule and membrane associated protein. The disease might be induced by some unknown genetic abnormities.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of episodic hypoxia(EHYP) on liver CYP3A2 and CYP2E1. METHODS: Healthy masculinity rats were divided randomly into five groups: control group, 3 -day EHYP group, 7 -day EHYP group, 14 -day EHYP group, and 28 -day EHYP group. 24 h after the management of EHYP, the rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection, and the eyeball blood 2ml was drawn to prepare serum. The activities of ALT and AST in the serum were determined by enzymatic methods. The activities of liver microsomal erythromycin demethylase(ERD) and aniline hydroxylase(ANH) were detected by spectrophotography. The levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 were assayed with RT-PCR. RESULTS: The serum activities of ALT,AST showed no remarkable change. However, after 7 days of hypoxia, ERD and ANH activities were remarkably elevated, and at 28 days induction rates reached up to155.5% and 42.2%, respectively. Meanwhile, the levels of mRNA expression of CYP3A2,CYP2E1 also increased by 220.5% and 102.8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Chronic EHYP can remarkably increase the activities of ERD and ANH, whose mechanism is probably related to up-regulating of CYP3A2 and CYP2E1 expression at the transcriptive level.
