Methods The following groups of rats were studied: normal control rats ,diabetic control rats and diabetic rats treated with perindopril (2mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ) . After 4 weeks or 12 weeks treatment , alterations of renal ultrastructure were observed in each group, Urinary albumin excretion was observed every 4 weeks.Results Urinary albumin excretion of diabetic rats treated with perindopril were significantly lower than that of diabetic untreated group(P

Objective To observe the effects of blocking renin-angiotensin system with losartan or perindopril on renal angiotensinⅡand its type 1 receptor (AT1R) expression in STZ-induced (diabetic) rats. Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal control group (NC) and (diabetic) group. Diabetes was induced by STZ (65 mg/kg) abdominal injection. Four weeks later, diabetic rats were further divided into 4 groups: diabetic rats treated with losartan (DL, 20 mg·kg-1·d-1),diabetic rats treated with perindopril (DP,2 mg·kg-1·d-1) and diabetic untreated control group(DC). Radioimmunoassay was used to measure plasma and renal angiotensin (Ⅱ.)Expression of AT1R was detected by RT-PCR in each group before and after 12 week′s treatment. Results At the 4th week, renal AT1R expression decreased. At the 16th week, plasma angiotensinⅡ,renal angiotensinⅡand AT1R mRNA in diabetic untreated group were significantly higher than those in normal rats. (Renal) angiotensinⅡand AT1R in losartan or perindopril-treatmented group were significantly lower than those in DC group. Conclusion Intrarenal RAS is abnormal in STZ-induced diabetic rats. Renoprotective effects of losartan and perindopril may partly induced by inhibiting renal angiotensinⅡ and AT1R (expression.)

0.05). The median duration of survival was 11.5 months for TEP gr oup versus 8.5 months for EP group (P0.05,no statistical difference). The main toxicity wa s myelosuppression for the two groups.The incidence rate of Ⅲ~Ⅳ degree neutro p enia and thrombocytopenia was higher in the TEP group than that in the EP group( P

Objective To observe the effect of losartan on urinary albumin excretion in streptozotocin diabetic rats.Methods The following groups of rats were studied:normal control rats(NC),diabetic control rats (DC),diabetic rats treated with losartan 〔20mg/(kg*d)〕(DL) and diabetic rats treated with perindopril (2mg/(kg*d)〕(DP).Urinary albumin was observed at the 4th、8th、12th and 16th week.Results Urinary albumin excretion of diabetic rats treated with losartan or perindopril were significantly lower than that of diabetic untreated group (P<0.01).The effect was not different between losartan treated and perindopril treated rats.Conclusion The results suggested that losartan can reduce urinary albumin excretion in diabetic rats.
7. Effects of curcumin on the cellular model of Alzheimer′s disease and GAP-43 expression
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2017;44(3):257-261
Objective To investigate the protective effects of curcumin on the cellular model of Alzheimer’s disease(AD) and the expression of growth associated protein- 43(GAP- 43). Methods Aβ2535 was used to treat the hippocampus neurons of rat and the cellular model of AD was established. The survival rate was detected by MTT assay. The cells were randomly divided into blank control, model, curcumin 10 and 20 μmol/L groups. The effect of curcumin on apoptosis was assayed by flow cytometry. The protrusive length and GAP-43 positive cell rate were detected by immunocytochemistry. The expression of GAP-43 was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with the model group, curcumin significantly reduced the toxicity of Aβ25~35, increased the survival rate and decreased the apoptosis rate of the cells(P<0.05). It also significantly increased the average protrusive length, GAP-43 positive cell rate and GAP-43 expression(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion The protective effect of curcumin on the cellular model of AD was likely related to the up-regulation of GAP-43 expression.

AIM: To study p42/p44 mitogen - activated protein kinases ( MAPK ) signal transduction pathway effect on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) expression induced by elevated glucose concentration in cultured human retinal pigment epithelium ( hRPE) .
METHODS:hRPE cells were cultured and divided into four groups:normal glucose group (NG) (5. 6mmol/L), high glucose group ( HG1:15mmol/L D-glucose, HG2:20mmol/L D - glucose, HG3:30mmol/L D - glucose ), PD98059 group: hRPE cells were treated by an efficient and selective inhibitor PD98059 (20μmol/L) of p42/p44MAPK signal transduction pathway and solvent dimethyl sulfoxide group ( DMSO group) . The expression of VEGF and pigment epithelium derived factor ( PEDF ) mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. VEGF protein expression in cultured hRPE supernatants was detected by enzyme-linked immumosorbent assay ( ELISA) .
RUSULTS: VEGF mRNA and protein expression induced by elevated glucose concentration increased significantly. VEGF mRNA and protein expression were restrained in PD98059 group. Ratio of ( VEGF/β-actine)/( PEDF/β - actine ) in PD98059 group decreased significantly compare with that in high glucose group.
CONCLUSION: p42/p44MAPK signal transduction pathway might play a part in VEGF expression induced by elevated glucose concentration in cultured hRPE cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination eye drops on low myopia of children (age ranging from 6 to 14). Methods Eighty children with 160 eyes of low myopia in the outpatient department of ophthalmology of our hospital were chose from July 2010 to April 2013, then the patients were equally divided into four groups:the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops,tropicamide,and tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination groups. The naked vision and myopia correction of each group were compared before and after treatment for two weeks, and the treatment effects were compared among four groups. Results (1) The results showed there were no significant changes before and after treatment in the control, esculin-digitalisglycosides eye drops and tropicamide groups ( >0.05); (2) On the contrast, the tropicamide and esculin-digitalisglycosides combination have significantly improved naked vision and myopia correction after 2 weeks ( <0.05);(3) Prior to the treatment,there was no significant difference among four groups (<0.05);(4) After treatment,group under tropicamide and esculin- digitalisglycosides combined was statistical different from the other groups treated with other three eye drops ( <0.05);However, there was no statistical difference among groups in these three eyedrops. Conclusion Esculin-digitalisglycosides combined with tropicamide was the most effective treatment for low myopia of children.
