Effects of carvedilol on murine viral myocarditis

AIM: To observe the effects of carvedilol on murine viral myocarditis model. METHODS: A total of 188 inbred male BALB/c mice of 4-6 weeks were divided into 4 groups: myocarditis group (group C, n=60), metoprolol treatment group (group M, n=60), carvedilol treatment group (group K, n=60), control group (group B, n=8). Myocardial histopathololgic changes were observed. The concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTn-I) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). Western blotting was performed to analyze the contents of phosphorylated p38MAPK in myocardium. RESULTS: Metropolol and carvedilol lightened myocardial histopathololgic changes at acute stage, decreased cTn-I concentrations and myocardial phosphorylated p38MAPK value compared with myocarditis group. Treatment with carvedilol was more effective than treated with metropolol on those indexes. CONCLUSION: Carvedilol protects against viral myocarditis by inhibition of p38MAPK signal transduction pathway through blockade of β1 and β2 adrenergic receptors.     

Effects of salvianolic acid B on neurons during oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction

AIM: To observe the damage induced in the primary cultured rat cortical neurons by oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction, and to investigate the neuroprotective mechanism of salvianolic acid B (SalB). METHODS: Primary cultured rat cortical neurons were randomly divided into the control group, the model group and the SalB group. The cell model was established by oxygen/glucose deprivation for 3 h followed oxygen/glucose reintroduction for 24 h. The cortical neurons viability was determined by MTT assay. The leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was measured by chromatometry. The mitochondrial membrane potentials (MMP) and the apoptosis rate were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry. The cytosolic free calcium was assessed using LSCM. The morphologic changes of neuronal nuclei were observed by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence staining. RESULTS: Compared to the model group, the cortical neurons viability, the survival rate and the fluorescence value of MMP in the SalB group were obviously increased (P<0.05,P<0.01). In addition, in the SalB group, the leakage rate of LDH, the fluorescence intensity of cytosolic free calcium and the apoptosis rate were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The neuroprotective mechanism of SalB in the oxygen/glucose deprivation and reintroduction neurons would be due to the fact that SalB maintains the MMP and the calcium homeostasis.

Changes of immune function and mortality in patients with sepsis-induced stress hyperglycemia

AIM: To investigate the role of stress hyperglycemia on condition assessment and predicting prognosis in patients with sepsis. METHODS: The study included 44 patients with sepsis, divided into three groups according to their blood glucose profile within 24 h after admission: patients with stress hyperglycemia (group SH, n=15), diabetes mellitus type 2 (group DM, n=10), and normal glucose levels (group NG, n=19). CD4+/CD8+ ratio, Th1/Th2 ratio and HLA-DR% of the patients were measured within 24 h after admission by flow cytometry as assessment of their immune function. The sepsis-related organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) scores of patients were recorded at the same time to analyze whether stress hyperglycemia affects the immune function and the 28 d mortality in patients with sepsis. RESULTS: A higher mortality rate of septic patients with stress hyperglycemia was observed compared to diabetic patients (53.3% vs 10.0%) and group NG (53.3% vs 21.1%). SOFA score and APACHE II score were higher in group SH than those in group DM and group NG while lower levels of human leucocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) expression and CD4+/CD8+ ratio was found in group SH than those in group DM and group NG. No difference in the levels of Th1/Th2 among the three groups was observed. Non-survivors had higher levels of SOFA score, APACHEⅡ score, Th1/Th2 ratio and HLA-DR%. No difference was detected for CD4+/CD8+ ratio, mean glucose values and age. CONCLUSION: Stress hyperglycemia is associated with decreased immune function and an adverse clinical outcome in patients with sepsis.     

Impact of serial activation of embryonic pax2 and WT1 genes on transdifferentiation of renal tubular epithelial cells

AIM: To investigate the mechanisms of transdifferentiation of renal tubular epithelial cells by the observation of serial activation of embryonic pax2 and WT1 genes in chronic renal failure model of 5/6 nephrectomized injury. METHODS: Embryo of mice, cultured renal tubule cells and chronic renal failure rat model of 5/6 nephrectomized injury were established. The expressions of paired Box gene (pax2) and Willm’s tumor gene (WT1), as well as α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), a phenotype of mesenchymal cells, were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry techniques. RESULTS: (1) Expressions of pax2 and WT1 mRNA began at 11.5 d and 14 d of embryo and increased gradually, and expression in trace quantity at 2 weeks after birth. Immunohistochemistry analysis revealed that WT1 only expressed in the glomerular podocytes and expressions of pax2 and WT1 in adult renal tubular cells were negative. (2) Deno-expression of pax2 and WT1 in some tubular cells appeared at week 2 and peaked at week 4 in 5/6 nephrectomized rats, both showing a same trend of expression. However, pax2 showed another peak at week 10 afterwards. (3) Re-expressions of pax2 and WT1 in TEC at 0.5 and 24 h after treated with IL-1α (10 μg/L) or AngII (10-9 mol/L) were observed respectively, followed by upregulation of α-SMA expression, and mesenchymal cells characters were shown. The effects were inhibited by Ang II receptor 2 antagonist and WT1 antibody, respectively. CONCLUSION: Adult renal tubule cells acquire re-activation of embryonic pax2 and WT1 genes and phenotypes of mesenchymes when challenge with certain injuries. Deno-expression of pax2 and WT1 genes closely relates with high concentration of bioactive facors, such as AngII and IL-1, which are involved in the mechanisms of renal tubule cells transdifferentiation.

中国食糖供求分析与预测

利用预测模型从原料生产的角度,分析了我国食糖供给的变化趋势;然后从居民用糖和工业用糖两个方面,研究了食糖需求的变化;最后从贸易的角度,探讨了我国满足国内食糖供需缺口的可能途径。研究发现：食糖的供给潜力主要在于甘蔗糖方面;需求方面,工业用糖量增长较快,是推动食糖需求增长的主要动力。由于食糖需求增长的速度快于供给的增长,我国食糖的供求缺口有不断增加趋势。为避免食糖体系失衡风险,增加国内食糖供给才是解决我国食糖供求矛盾的最佳途径。
