Effect of cilazapril on pulmonary vascular endothelial dysfunction in hypoxic rats

AIM:To study the effect of cilazapril on pulmonary vascular endothelial dysfunction in hypoxic rats. METHODS:The structure and function of endothelium in hypoxic rats were studied by biochemical analysis, radioimmunoassay, transmission electron microscope and correlated with hemodynamic. RESULTS:1) The change and damage of ultrastructure in endothelial cell (EC) were obsevered in hypoxic rats. 2) The contents of plasma nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in blood as well as endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity in the lung tissue were significantly lower in the hypoxic rat than those in contral animals. The concentrations of plasma endothelin-1(ET-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) as well as malondialdehyde(MDA) were significantly higher in the hypoxic rat than these in contral animals. The relaxing and contracting factors had a significant positive/negative correlation with mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP). 3) Cilazapril significantly decreased the level of ET-1 and ACE and significantly increased the level of NO and activity of eNOS and SOD. At the same time, cilazapril extenuated hypoxia-induced injuries of EC. CONCLUSION:The results indicate that damaging structure and dysfunction of EC existes in hypoxic rats. The cilazapril effectively preventes and treates the chronic hypoxic PH by relieving the injury and improving secretion in EC.     

Role of polymerase β in DNA metabolism and genomic instability

The major role of DNA polymerase β was thought to be limited in its involvement in short patch base excision repair by removing 5’-deoxyribose phosphate and base insertion. However, the recent researches indicate that polymerase β might take part in a wide spectrum of DNA metabolism reactions, including long patch base excision repair, DNA replication, recombination, meiosis and transleisional DNA synthesis. Because of its wide and important cellular function, an inappropriate intracellular polymerase β level might be associated with genomic instability. Down-regulation or mutation of polymerase β is mutagenic due to deficient in DNA repair, while overexpression of this error-prone β polymerase might perturb the normal function of other accurate polymerases and cause genomic instability as well.     

达县分葱田甜菜夜蛾发生规律初步研究

采用系统调查方法研究了达县地区分葱田甜菜夜蛾的生活史、发生与环境的关系。甜菜夜蛾在达县分葱田1a发生6代,以三至五代为害最重,世代重叠。其数量消长与虫源、夏秋季气候、天敌、栽培管理等因素密切相关。通过调查分析提出本县初始虫源非本地虫源。     

利用RT-PCR与PVP-ELISA检测水稻瘤矮病单头叶蝉

喀喇昆仑山盖孜河水文水资源特性分析

喀喇昆仑山河流自有水文资料记载以来 ,近 10年洪灾发生频率明显高于以往 ,人民的生命财产损失程度也大幅度增加。在分析了盖孜河流域的径流及气候多年变化过程后 ,认为洪灾频发的原因是近年来流域内降水及气温呈上升趋势 ,导致高山冰川退缩 ,河流径流增加 ,洪灾增大、频率增高 ;小区域多年气候变化过程从侧面印证了我国西北地区气候由暖干向暖湿变化。
