OBJECTIVE To study the effects of yunaconitine on myocardial injury in rats and its mechanism related to mitochondrial apoptosis pathway rats. METHODS Forty SD rats were divided into normal group (normal saline), yunaconitine high-dose and low-dose groups(0.14, 0.09 mg/kg)and aconitine group (positive control, 0.88 mg/kg) by random number method, with 10 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 7 days. The levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum as well as the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in myocardial tissue were detected. The pathomorphological changes of myocardium and ultrastructural changes of myocardial mitochondria were all observed. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was determined. The protein relative expressions of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 were determined in myocardium of rats. RESULTS Compared with normal group, the serum levels of LDH, CK, CK-MB and MDA, the apoptotic numbers of cardiomyocytes, the level of ROS and protein expression of caspase-3 in myocardium were increased significantly in yunaconitine high-dose and low- dose groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01); serum level of SOD and Bcl-2/Bax ratio in myocardium were all decreased significantly (P< 0.01); the protein relative expressions of caspase-9, cleaved-caspase-9, caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-3 in myocardium were significantly increased in yunaconitine high-dose group (P<0.05); some pathomorphological changes were found in 2 groups, such as myocardial fiber disorder, mitochondrial swelling. CONCLUSIONS Yunacotine could cause myocardial injury in rats. Its mechanism might be related to destroying the integrity of cardiomyocyte membrane, causing oxidative stress of cardiomyocyte, and inducing the apoptosis of myocardial cells through mitochondrial pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To study the toxicity mechanism of yunacotine-induced arrhythmia in rats. METHODS :Totally 32 rats were randomly divided by random number table method into normal control group ,yunacotine low-dose and high-dose groups (0.09,0.14 mg/kg),aconitine group (positive control ,0.88 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. Administration groups were given the corresponding drugs once a day ,and normal control group was given the constant volume of normal saline ,for consecutive 7 d. After last intragastric administration ,the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) were observed. The contents of adenosine triphosphate(ATP)in myocardial tissue and Ca 2+ in myocardial cells ,the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of ranolidine receptor 2(RyR2)and Ca 2+-ATPase(SERCA2)in myocardial tissue were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group ,time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals of rats were prolonged significantly in yunaconitine low-dose group (P<0.01). The content of Ca 2 + in myocardial cells , the ATP contents , the activities of Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase as well as the protein expression of SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were reduced significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The heart rate of rats in yunaconitine high-dose group and aconitine group were increased significantly (P< 0.05 or P<0.01),and time limit of QRS wave and QTc intervals were significantly prolonged (P<0.01);the content of Ca 2+ in myocardial cells was increased significantly (P<0.01);ATP content ,the activities of Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and Na +-K+-ATPase,and protein expression of RyR 2 and SERCA 2 in myocardial tissue were decreased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS : Yunaconitine can induce arrhythmia in rats ,the mechanism of which may be associated with Ca 2+ overload that resulted from reducing the activities of Na +-K+-ATPase and Ca 2+-Mg2+-ATPase and down-regulating the expression of related calcium transporter RyR2 and SERCA 2.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of isofla vaspidicacid PB (called PB for short )on the biofilm adhesion and the gene expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzymes in Trichophyton rubrum . METHODS :M38-A2 method was adopted to determine MIC of PB to T. rubrum . MTT assay was used to screen the biolfilm condition and initial adhesion period of T. rubrum . The effects of different concentrations of PB (40,80,160 µg/mL)on the adhesion duration of T. rubrum (growth control group without PB was set up ,similarly hereinafter )were evaluated and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay ;the effects of different concentrations of PB (20,40,80 µg/mL)on the biofilm formation of T. rubrum at different initial adhesion periods (3,5,9 h)were observed and the adhesion rate was calculated by using XTT assay combined with inverted microscope ;qRT-PCR method was used to detect the effects of PB (320 µg/mL)on the mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm of T. rubrum . RESULTS :MIC of PB to T. rubrum was 20 µg/mL. The biofilm of T. rubrum in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS was the most metabolism activity at 6 h of initial adhesion. Compared with growth control group ,after treated with different concentrations of PB ,adhesion rate and mRNA expression of ERG6 and ERG11 in biofilm were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Hyphae decreased or even disappeared ,and the adhesion inhibition rate (at 5 and 9 h of initial adhesion )increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :PB can inhibit the adhesion of T. rubrum and reduce the hyphae ;the mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of the biofilm adhesion and mRNA expression of ergosterol metabolism related enzyme gene ERG6 and ERG11.

Gene-environment interactions underlie cancer susceptibility and progression. The human body is exposed to and affected by the microenvironment seiscasts of various microorganisms and their metabolites, such as the microenvironment of gut microbiota. The relative abundance of some intestinal microbes in lung cancer patients was significantly different from that in the control group. These studies suggest that gut microbiota may be associated with lung cancer through some ways. At the same time, gut microbiota is relatively manageable environmental variables compared to the external environment we are exposed to, as they are highly quantifiable and relatively stable in the individual. Just as some measures of diagnosis, intervention and treatment of lung cancer targeting gut microbiota have achieved some results in clinical practice. In this review, we mainly discuss the role of gut microbiota and its metabolites in the progression and treatment of lung cancer through certain ways, such as regulation of metabolism, inflammation, and immune response. Finally, based on current research progress, it is inferred that research on gut microbiota may be an effective approach to the precise and personalized medical treatment of lung cancer.
