Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2022;29(12):1813-1817
Objective:To investigate the effect and safety of Guanxinning tablets combined with antiplatelet therapy on acute coronary syndrome. Methods:A total of 120 patients with acute coronary syndrome who received treatment in Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from January 2021 to December 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group and a study group ( n = 60/group). The control group was treated with antiplatelet drugs clopidogrel and aspirin. The study group was treated with clopidogrel, aspirin and Guanxinning tablets in combination. All patients were treated for 3 months. The levels of blood lipids (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, endothelin-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor measured before and after treatment as well as the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglyceride in each group were significantly decreased compared with those measured before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in each group was significantly increased compared with that measured before treatment ( P < 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride in the control group were (4.36 ± 1.01) mmol/L, (3.02 ± 0.28) mmol/L, and (1.98 ± 0.12) mmol/L respectively which were significantly higher than (3.98 ± 1.05) mmol/L, (2.52 ± 0.42) mmol/L, (1.58 ± 0.23) mmol/L in the study group ( t = -2.02, -7.67, -11.94, all P <0.05). Serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the control group was significantly lower than that in the study group [(1.26 ± 0.08) mmol/L vs. (2.36 ± 0.16) mmol/L, t = 47.63, P < 0.001). After treatment, serum levels of C-reactive protein and endothelin-1 in the control group were (5.62 ± 0.56) mg/L and (86.24 ± 12.68) pg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (4.32 ± 0.82) mg/L and (75.26 ± 12.46) pg/L in the study group, ( t = -10.14, -4.78, both P < 0.001). After treatment, serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α and vascular endothelial growth factor in the control group were (5.62 ± 0.56) mg/L and (76.28 ± 13.52) pg/L, which were significantly lower than (8.76 ± 1.06) mg/L and (86.32 ± 13.46) pg/L in the study group ( t = 20.23, 4.08, both P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.00% (3/60) vs. 8.33% (5/60), χ2 = -0.54, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Guanxinning tablets combined with antiplatelet has a remarkable therapeutic effect on acute coronary syndrome. It is highly safe and has a clinical application value.

Objective:
To investigate the role of connexin 43 ( Cx43) in acute sympathetic stress induced by phe- nylephrine (PE) overactivation of α1-adrenergic receptor ( α1-AR) in cardiomyocytes.
Methods:
Cardiomyocytes of H9C2 rats were randomly divided into control group,PE alone treatment group,Gap26 ( Cx43 specific inhibitor) intervention group and Gap26 alone treatment group.PE alone treatment group was treated with 50 μmol / L PE for 15 min.The Gap26 intervention group was pretreated with 0. 5 μmol / L Gap26 for 30 min,and then treated with 50 μmol / L PE for 15 min.The protein and mRNA expression levels of Cx43,NLRP3 inflammasome,interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) ,Caspase-1,interleukin-18 (IL-18 ) were detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. The expression and co-location of Cx43 in cardiomyocytes were observed by immunofluorescence assay,and the expression of inflamma- tory cytokines IL-1 β and IL-18 in cardiomyocytes was detected by ELISA.
Results:
Compared with control group, the protein and mRNA levels of Cx43,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and IL-18 in PE group increased.Compared with PE a- lone treatment group,the protein and mRNA levels of Cx43,NLRP3,Caspase-1 and IL-18 decreased after Gap26 intervention,but they were still higher than those of control group. Similarly ,immunofluorescence showed that Cx43 protein expression increased in PE alone group,while Cx43 expression was down-regulated in Gap26 inter- vention group compared with PE alone group.ELISA results showed that the expression of IL-1 β and IL-18 was sig- nificantly up-regulated in PE alone group,but down-regulated in Gap26 intervention group.
Conclusion
Cx43 is involved in α1-AR activation induced cardiac acute sympathetic stress by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome.

TetR family transcriptional regulators (TFRs) are widely distributed in bacteria and archaea, and the first discovered TFR was confirmed to control the expression of tetracycline efflux pump in Escherichia coli. TFRs can bind DNAs and ligands. Small molecule ligands can induce conformational changes of TFRs, inhibiting or promoting TFRs to control target gene expression. Currently, TFRs have a wide variety of ligands, including carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids and their derivatives, metal ions, and so on. Due to the diversity of ligands, TFRs regulate a wide range of physiological processes, from basic carbon metabolism and nitrogen metabolism to quorum sensing and antibiotic biosynthesis. On the basis of the recent studies in our laboratory and the literature, we review here the regulatory mechanism mediated by ligands of TFRs in primary and secondary metabolism, as well as the application of ligands for TFRs in the development of gene route and the activation of antibiotic biosynthesis.

Objective To investigate the effect of G protein?coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) on the diastolic function of renal interlobular artery and reduce renal ischemia?reperfusion injury in rats. Methods Female ovariectomized rats were divided into control group; ischemia?reperfusion injury (IRI) group;GPER?specific agonist (G1) intervention group;GPER?specific blocker+GPER?specific agonist (G15+G1) intervention group. Histopathological examination (HE staining), renal function test and Paller score were used to identify the success of the model and the degree of kidney damage. In vitro microvascular pressure diameter measuring instrument was used to detect the relaxation and contraction activity of renal interlobular artery in each group. Immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the expression of GPER on the renal interlobular artery. Westernblotting was used to detect the expression of GPER protein in renal interlobular artery of rats in each group. The NO content was determined by a nitrate reductase method. Results Compared with IRI group, serum BUN, Scr level and Paller score in G1 intervention group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). The systolic rate of renal interlobar artery was significantly increased [(40.76 ± 1.57)% vs (29.78 ± 1.87)%, P<0.05]. The results of immunofluorescence showed that GPER was expressed in renal interlobular artery smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells, and the expression of IRI group was higher than that of the control group. The expression of G15+G1 intervention group was lower than that of G1 intervention group (all P<0.05). Compared with the IRI group, the NO content in the G1 intervention group increased significantly (all P<0.05). Conclusions During renal ischemia ?reperfusion injury, GPER may regulate the systolic and diastolic activity of the renal interlobar artery by increasing the content of NO, so as to alleviate the renal ischemia?reperfusion injury.
