Objective To observe the effect of stress on the rapid component of delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr) in rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Forty male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (10 each): control group (Ctrl), exhaustive group (ES), noise group (WN) and composite group (ES+WN). Stress animal models were prepared as follows: Rats in ES group were undergoing exhaustive swimming as the stress factor, in WN group undergoing white noise and in ES+WN group undergoing exhaustive swimming + white noise as the stress factor. Langendorff device was used to reversely perfuse collagenase for isolating the rat's ventricular myocytes. The effect of stress on IKr current and gating mechanism of single ventricular myocyte was recorded by whole-cell patch clamp technique. Results Compared with the Ctrl group, the tail current density of IKr (IKr,tail) of ventricular myocytes increased significantly in ES group and WN group (P<0.01). The IKr,tail current density of the ventricular myocytes in ES+WN group was significantly higher than that in ES group and WN group (P<0.01), and the effect was voltage dependent. Gating mechanism revealed that the half inactivation voltage of IKr,tail (V1/2,inact) can be shifted to the right in ES group, WN group and ES+WN group when compared with the Ctrl group, and the recovery time constant shortened after inactivation (P<0.01). However, the steady-state activation, fast inactivation constant and voltage dependence of IKr,tail were not statistically significant in ES group, WN group and ES+WN group when compared with the Ctrl group. Conclusion Stress increases the IKr current in rat cardiomyocytes, suggesting it be one of the electrophysiological bases of stress-induced arrhythmia.

Complement activation-related pseudo-allergic reactions (CARPA) may represent 77% of all immune-mediated immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Because of the universality of the CARPA response and correlation between it and drug properties, complement activity tests are recommended as one of the tests for immunotoxicity and bioequivalence of drugs. However, in-vivo tests of complement activation are complicated, and the immunological differences between different individuals and between human and animal, making it very necessary to establish a standard and sample evaluation model for testing the effects of drugs on complement activity. In this study, the standard reaction serum was prepared by pooling sera collected from 40 healthy blood donors; a standard positive control was prepared by incubation with a heat-agglutinated IgG and zymosan A; SC5b-9, C5a, C4d and Bb were chosen as the test targets and evaluation criteria of the results was defined, all of these constituted the in-vitro model. By using this in-vitro model, the immunological toxicity of the different prescription of antifungal drug amphotericin B, and voriconazole for injection, and the bioequivalence of amphotericin B liposome formulations were studied.

Objective To study the effect of allicin ( All) on potassium current in single atrial myocytes in rats. Methods Isolated rat atrial myocytes were isolated by perfusion and administered by extracellular perfusion method.Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record transient outward potassium current ( Ito ) in atrial myocyte. Results In presence of 30 μmol·L-1 of All,the peak current of Ito was significantly reduced from (20.5±2.2) pA/pF to (11.3±2.1) pA/pF at+50 mV of test potential (P<0.01,n=12).This effect of All showed voltage- and concentration-dependence with IC50 of (19.0±2.5)μmol·L-1 .The steady-state activation curve of Ito was shifted to more positive potential and recovery time from inactivation was prolonged.In addition, they fail to find any effect of All on the steady-state inactivation and closed-state inactivation of Ito. Conclusion All can inhibit Ito by slowing down the process of activation and recovery from inactivation of channel.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Feiyanning prescription (FYN) on cisplatin (DDP) resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and explore the underlying mechanism. MethodCell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect the proliferation of A549 and A549/DDP (DDP-resistant) cells treated by DDP (0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0 mg⋅L-1) and the proliferation of A549/DDP cells treated by FYN (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 mg⋅L-1). Based on immunofluorescence staining and Western blot (WB), the expression of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins in A549 and A549/DDP groups was observed. A549/DDP cells were classified into control group, FYN group (200 mg⋅L-1), DDP group (6.0 mg⋅L-1), and combination group [FYN (200 mg⋅L-1) + DDP (6.0 mg⋅L-1)] and respectively treated with corresponding drugs. Then, invasion ability of each group was examined by transwell assay, and the expression of EMT-related proteins in each group by WB. Moreover, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) and immunofluorescence staining were separately applied to detect the mRNA and protein expression of drug resistance-related factors in each group, respectively. ResultCompared with A549 group, A549/DDP group showed high resistance to DDP (P<0.01), low expression of E-cadherin, and high protein expression of Vimentin, N-cadherin, and Snail (P<0.05, P<0.01). As compared with the control group, FYN inhibited the proliferation of A549/DDP cells in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01), and the FYN group, DDP group, and combination group demonstrated low invasion ability (P<0.01). In addition, the invasion ability in the combination group was particularly lower than that in the DDP group (P<0.01). The expression of E-cadherin protein was higher and the protein expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail was lower in the in FYN group than in the control group (P<0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and Vimentin was lower and the expression of Snail was higher in the DDP group than in the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01). The protein expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail in the combination group decreased as compared with that in the control group (P<0.01). Compared with the DDP alone, the combination raised the expression of E-cadherin and lowered the protein expression of N-cadherin, Vimentin, and Snail (P<0.01). The protein and mRNA expression of lung resistance-related protein (LRP) and multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) was lower and the protein and mRNA expression of topoisomerase Ⅱα (TOPO Ⅱα) was higher in the FYN group than in the control group (P<0.01). The protein and mRNA expression of LRP, MDR1, and TOPO Ⅱα was higher in the DDP group than in the control group (P<0.01). The expression of LRP protein and mRNA showed no significant variation, but the protein and mRNA expression of MDR1 and TOPO Ⅱα increased in the combination group compared with those in the control group (P<0.01). Compared with the DDP group, FYN group and combination group showed low protein and mRNA expression of LRP and MDR1 and high protein and mRNA expression of TOPO Ⅱα (P<0.01). Compared with FYN, the combination elevated the protein and mRNA expression of LRP, MDR1, and TOPO Ⅱα (P<0.01). ConclusionFYN prescription can reverse the DDP resistance of NSCLC by modulating EMT.

The pathophysiological process of immune inflammatory response after severe trauma is extremely complex, especially manifested in the dynamic changes. In the physiological response state, the inflammatory and anti-inflammatory conditions are in a dynamic balance. The immune inflammatory response is relatively stable, avoiding excessive inflammatory reactions or immunosuppression and reducing further damage to the body. In the pathological response state, the dynamic balance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory is broken, and it can also lead to persistent inflammatory-immunosuppression-catabolism syndrome (PICS). As a result, it increases serious complications such as uncontrolled inflammatory reactions, sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and multiple organ failure (MOF). Current researches on post-traumatic immune inflammatory response have also expanded to the genetic level, indicating that the over-expression of genes and the generation and increase of immune response media are likely to be the key reasons for the disorder of immune inflammatory response. The author reviews the research progress of immune inflammatory response mechanism and related clinical intervention after severe trauma, in order to summarize the previous research results and explore the future research direction.
