Objective To search for the mechanism of NO and TNOS/iNOS in cerebral vascular stenosis,the changes of these serum factors in different kinds of cerebral vascular stenosis were studied. Methods Biochemistry assays were adopted,to analyze serum NO and TNOS/iNOS in different vascular stenosis group. Results Serum NO contents of ' Mix' (P=0.000) or ' MCA' (P=0.001) significantly increased. INOS activity of ' In' (P=0.004) and ' MCA' (P=0.002) markedly increased. And TNOS activity of ' In' group significantly weakened (P=0.032),but the TNOS activity of ' Mix' (P=0.011) and ' MCA' (P=0.018) group markedly intensified. Conclusion NO and TNOS/ iNOS partly participate in the occurrence mechanism of cerebral vascular stenosis. And the study provided theory basis for studying multiple factors of cerebral vascular stenosis.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between plasma level of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and coronary artery ectasia in relevant patients. Methods: A total of 72 patients received coronary angiography (CAG) in our hospital were studied and the patients were divided into 3 groups: Coronary ectasia group, Coronary stenosis group and Normal coronary group.n=24 in each group. Plasma levels of ADMA, symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) and L-arginine (Arg) were measured by HPLC-MS/MS methods. The relationship between ADMA and CAD was examined by Logistic regression analysis. Results: Plasma level of ADMA in Coronary ectasia group (0.437 ± 0.098) μmol/L and Coronary stenosis group (0.456 ± 0.088) μmol/L were higher than that in Normal coronary group (0.381 ± 0.057) μmol/L,P<0.05. The ratio of Arg/ADMA in Coronary ectasia group (208.54 ± 61.52) and Coronary stenosis group (220.00 ± 104.82) were lower than that in Normal coronary group (254.26 ± 76.22),P<0.05. Logistic regression analysis presented that with adjusted age, gender, smoking, family history of CAD and LDL-C level, and plasma ADMA was still related with CAD (Partial regression coefifcient 9.469, P=0.011). Conclusion: Plasma levels of ADMA were higher in patients with coronary artery ectasia/stenosis than those with normal coronary artery; while ADMA levels were similar between the patients with coronary ectasia and stenosis. Plasma ADMA level was the independent risk factor of CAD.

Objective To investigate the effects of osthole on neural stem cells ( NSCs) differentiation and explore the potential mechanism. Methods Brain-derived NSCs from newborn mice were isolated and cultured in vitro and determined by immunofluorescence. The P5 generations of NSCs were placed in culture solution with osthole at concentrations of (0,10,50, 100 μmol·L-1 ) . The neuron, astrocyte and oligodendroglia cell differentiation were determined by immunofluorescence. The mRNA expression of Notch 1 and its target genes Mash 1 and Neurogenin 2 were assessed by RT-PCR. Results The neurosphere displayed Nestin and Sox 2-postive by immunofluorescence, suggesting that the cultured cells were NSCs. Osthole promoted NSCs differentiating into more neuron(P<0. 01) and oligodendrocyte(P<0. 05), but not astrocyte. Meanwhile, osthole significantly reduced the mRNA expression of Notch 1(P<0. 01) and increased Ngn 2(P<0. 01)at the dose of 100 μmol·L-1. Conclusion Osthole enhances NSCs differentiating into more neuron and oligodendrocyte via probablly inhibiting Notch signal pathway.

Aim To investigate the effects of osthole ( Ost) on the ability of proliferation and differentiation in APP transduced neural stem cells( NSCs) , and neu-ronal apoptosis, in order to find related mechanism. Methods A model of Alzheimer′s disease( AD) cells was successfully established by transducing APP gene into NSCs in vitro. The ability of proliferation and dif-ferentiation was tested by staining. The viability of NSCs was determined by using CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis was tested by Hoechst 33258 staining. The expression of GSK-3β and β-catenin mRNA was deter-mined by RT-PCR. The expression of GSK-3β and β-catenin protein was determined by Western blot. Re-sults The ability of proliferation had increased by 10 . 24% with Ost treatment, compared with APP group. The ability of differentiation had increased by 6 . 74%with Ost treatment, compared with APP group. The vi-ability of NSCs had increased and cell apoptotic rate had decreased significantly. From the results of RT-PCR and Western blot, we could find the expression of GSK-3βmRNA and protein had decreased, and the ex-pression of β-catenin mRNA and protein had increased significantly, compared with APP group. Conclusion Ost could enhance the ability of proliferation and dif-ferentiation into more neurons of NSCs transducing APP gene, and reduce neuronal apoptosis. It might be relat-ed with activiting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
