In thiis study,we show thai carbachol stimulates the accumulation of inositol phosphates(InsPs)in human rellnal pigment epithelium (RPE)cells and atropine blocks the carbachol-induced effect ,suggesting the existence of musearinie acelyleholine receptors in human RPE cells. In contrast,noradrenaline,serotonin, cpidermal growth factor (EGF),isoproterenol,and
NECA (5'-[N-ethyl]-carboxamido-adenosine)do not influence the basal levels of InsPs.Moreover,isoprmerenol and NECA do not affect the carhaehol elevated levels of InsPs.EGF,howcvcr,does potentiate the carhaehol stimulated elevation of InsPs in a dose-dependent manner ,suggesting an interaction between EGF and musearinie receptors in cultured human RPE cells.

Objective To observe the degradation of the polyactic glycolate acid (PLGA) microparticles with releasing-slowly vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) synthesized by the method of emulsification-diffusion. Methods The method of emulsification-diffusion is to incorporate VEGF into microparticles composed of biodegradable PLGA. The controlled release of microparticles are acquired. The content of the VEGF released slowly from PLGA microparticles in vitro was detected with ELISA at different time. Results We synthesized 100 releasing-slowly VEGF PLGA microparticles with the size of 0.20-0.33 μm by 5 times. The contents were 62±11 ng/L, 89±14 ng/L, and 127±19 ng/L in the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd months after degradation, respectively. Conclusion The PLGAmicroparticles with releasing-slowly VEGF can be synthesized by the method of emulsification-diffusion.
ObjectiveTo explore the protective mechanism and effect of the resveratrol for kidney injury of obstructive jaundice.
MethodsThe rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham operation group receiving laparotomy without bile duct ligation (BDL), the obstructive jaundice group with BDL, and the obstructive jaundice + resveratrol group given resveratrol following BDL. The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine (Cr) in the serum were tested. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, glutathione (GSH) level in the renal tissues were detected. The expressions of the silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) proteins were tested by Western blot. The expression of SIRT1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and the renal cell apoptosis was examined by TUNEL staining.
Results①Compared with the sham operation group, the levels of serum TBIL, DBIL, BUN and Cr were significantly higher (P < 0.05); the activity of SOD and level of GSH, and the expressions of SIRT1 mRNA and SIRT1 protein in the renal tissues were signi-ficantly lower (P < 0.05); the content of MDA, the expression of NF-κB protein, and the rate of cell apoptosis in the renal tissues were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the obstructive jaundice group.②Compared with the obstructive jaundice group, the levels of serum TBIL, DBIL, BUN and Cr were significantly lower (P < 0.05); the activity of SOD and level of GSH, and the expressions of SIRT1 mRNA and SIRT1 protein in the renal tissues were significantly higher (P < 0.05); the content of MDA, the expression of NF-κB protein, and the rate of cell apoptosis in the renal tissues were significantly lower (P < 0.05) in the obstructive jaundice+resveratrol group.
ConclusionThe resveratrol could alleviate renal damage and play a beneficial role to resist inflammation, oxidation, and apoptosis by activating the SIRT1 which probably inhibits the expression of NF-κB protein and promotes the activity of SOD in cholestatic kidney injury.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and the adverse reactions of intensive therapy compared with conventional therapy. Methods We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (Issue 3, 2008), MEDLINE (January 1980 to June 2008), EMbase (1984 to June 2008), CBM-disc (January 1980 to June 2008) and CNKI (1994 to June 2008) to get all the randomized control trials (RCTs) about paclitaxel intensive versus conventional therapy for ovarian cancer. We used RevMan 5 to perform meta-analysis. Results Six RCTs involving 572 patients were included. Metaanalysis showed the efficacy of intensive therapy and conventional therapy was similar. There were no significant differences in response rate (RR 1.06, 95%CI 0.94 to 1.20), median survival time, survival rate, median progression free survival and median time to progression between the two groups. When taking safety into consideration, intensive therapy significantly reduced the occurrence of grade Ⅲ or higher neutropenia (RR 0.49, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.69, Plt;0.000 1) and Grade Ⅲ or higher neuropathy (RR 0.43, 95%CI 0.24 to 0.78, P=0.006). But there were no significant differences between intensive therapy and conventional therapy in flush, grade Ⅲ or higher vomiting, anemia, leucopenia, grade Ⅲ or higher thrombocytopenia and alopecia. Conclusion Paclitaxel intensive therapy has similar efficacy and adverse reactions compared with conventional therapy in ovarian cancer. Above all, intensive therapy can reduce the incidence of grade Ⅲ or higher neutropenia and neuropathy. It is a good substitution for the conventional therapy.
The effects of various receptor agonists/antagonists on the accumulation of inositol phosphates(InsPs) in cultured rat retinal pigment epitheium (RPE) cells were analysed. The results showed that serotonin and the 5-HT2 agonists such as alpha;-methyl-serotonin, quipazine, and DOI (1-[2.5-dimethoxy-4-iodopheny1]-2-aminopropane) all stimulated InsPs accumulation in rat RPE cells. The serotonin-induced stimulation of InsPs was effectively blocked by ketanserin, a 5-HT2 antagonist, but also attenuated by the active phorbol ester PMA (4ft-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate), a potent protein kinase C activator.The data presented provide clear evidence for the presence of 5-HT2 receptors coupled to phosphoinositide metabolism on cultured rat RPE cells.

【摘要】 目的 研究合并2型糖尿病的冠心病患者冠狀動脈病變程度與血清視黃醇結合蛋白4（retinol-binding protein 4，RBP4）水平的相關性。 方法 2008年10月-2010年4月選擇性冠狀動脈造影確診的冠心病患者共120例，分為單純冠心病組（A組）60例和冠心病合并糖尿病組（B組）60例，檢測血糖、血脂、胰島素以及脂聯素、RBP4水平；根據冠狀動脈造影結果，以Gensini評分評判冠狀動脈病變程度。 結果 B組空腹血糖、胰島素、RBP4均顯著高于A組（Plt;0.05）；冠狀動脈病變程度更重（Plt;0.05）。相關性分析顯示RBP4水平與低密度脂蛋白膽固醇、胰島素抵抗和冠狀動脈病變積分呈正相關（r=0.312、0.322、0.314，Plt;0.05）。與脂聯素水平呈負相關（r=-0.362，Plt;0.01）。 結論 冠心病合并2型糖尿病患者RBP4明顯升高，且與冠狀動脈狹窄程度呈正相關。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the relationship between the level of serum retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and the extent of coronary lesions in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients accompanied with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 120 patients with CHD diagnosed by coronary arteriongraphy between October 2008 and April 2010 were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups: CHD group (60 patients); CHD accompanied with T2DM group (60 patients). The levels of serum insulin, adiponectin and RBP4 were measured. All the patients underwent coronary angiography and the extent of coronary lesions was assessed quantitatively based on the Gensini′s scoring system. Results The levels of serum insulin, plasma RBP4 and the extent of coronary artery stenosis in CHD accompanied with T2DM group were significantly higher than those in CHD group (Plt;0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the level of RBP4 was positively correlated with LDL-C, insulin resistance index and the coronary artery narrow degree（r=0.312, 0.322, 0.314; Plt;0.05); and negatively correlated with adiponectin (r=-0.362, Plt;0.01). Conclusion The significant elevated plasma RBP4 in CHD patients accompanied with T2DM is positively correlated with the extent of coronary artery lesion.
