Regulatory Effect of Buyang Hhuanwu Decoction on Rat Myocardial H9C2 Cell Activity Inhibition Induced by Trastuzumab / 广州中医药大学学报

Objective To observe the influence of Buyang Huanwu Decoction ( BYHWD) on the inhibition of rat myocardial H9C2 cell activity and SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1 ( SHP-1) activity induced by trastuzumab, and to explore the possible regulatory mechanism after observing the intervention of BYHWD on rat myocardial H9C2 cell transfected with SHP-1 or SHPC/S-1 gene. Methods The eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1 (+)- SHP-1 and pcDNA3.1 (+) -SHPC/S–1 were constructed and then were transfected to rat myocardial H9C2 cells using the method of liposome transfection. The cells with positive clones were screened out with G418, and then were cultured with trastuzumab for maintaining growth. Using quantitative RT-PCR, we detected the expression of SHP-1 gene and SHPC/S - 1 gene in rat myocardial H9C2 cells. The phosphatase activity analysis was used for observing the regulatory effect of BYHWD on SHP-1 in myocardial cells. Furthermore, we observed the apoptosis of rat myocardial H9C2 cells by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay after treatment with BYHWD. Results Sequencing results indicated the successful construction of eukaryotic expression vectors, which had stable expression in myocardial H9C2 cells even under the intervention of trastuzumab. The results of phosphatase analysis showed that H9C2-SHP-1 had the highest activities of phosphatase, but the activities were decreased after the intervention with BYHWD ( P<0.05) . The results of MTT assay also showed the apoptotic rate of H9C2-SHP-1 cells was decreased after treatment with BYHWD ( P <0.05) . Conclusion BYHWD can promote the proliferation of myocardial H9C2 cells inhibited by trastuzumab, and can regulate the expression of SHP-1 in myocardial cells, which will supply reference to the further study of treatment of trastuzumab-induced cardiac toxicity.

Expression of PirB in normal and injured spinal cord of rats / 华中科技大学学报（医学）（英德文版）

The expression of paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B (PirB) in normal and injured spinal cord of rats was investigated. The SD rat hemi-sectioned spinal cord injury (SCI) model was established. Before and 1, 3, 7, 10 days after SCI, the spinal cord tissues were harvested, and Western blot and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the expression and location of PirB. The results showed that the expression level of PirB in the normal spinal cord of SD rats was low. At the first day after SCI, the expression of PirB was obviously increased, and that in the injured spinal cord from the first day to the 10th day was significantly higher than in the normal spinal cord. The positive expression of PirB in neurons from different regions of gray matter of the injured spinal cord was seen. It was concluded that the expression of PirB in the normal spinal cord of rats was low. The expression of PirB in SCI was significantly increased till at least the 10th day.

Effects of different inner face of human venous blood container on platelet activation / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To study the effects of different inner face status of human venous blood container on platelet activation. Methods The plastic( polyethene terephthalate,PET) and glass tubes were coated with polyalkyleneoxide modified polydimethylsiloxane(L722). The contact angles of L722-coated glass and L722- coated PET tubes, glass tubes, PET tubes, silane coupling agent-coated glass tubes and polypropylene (PP) tubes were analyzed respectively. The blood were drawn into above tubes, and then incubated in a roller bottle at room temperature for 10-60 mira The marker of activated platelete, CD62p, was detected by flow cytometry(FCM). Results The inner face contact angle of the blood collection tubes with different material and surface treatment reflected platelet activation to a certain extent, but was not linear. The percent age of CD62p positive platelets in L722-modified PET tubes reduced from (37.4 ±14. 8) % to(21.9 ± 12. 4) %. The platelet activation by glass tubes was (54.5 ± 18.6 ) %, markedly more than PET tubes. While membrane formed, the platelet activation by glass tubes decreased remarkably, and the percentage of CD62p positive platelet in silane coupling agent-coated glass tubes were ( 28. 3 ± 8.2 ) %,markedly less than that of the L722-coated glass tubes. The platelet activation by PET-based material ectally modified with L722 was obviously less than L722-coated glass tubes and the percentage of CD62p positive platelet in silane coupling agent-coated glass tubes were ( 41.5 ± 15.9 ) % and ( 22. 0 ± 12. 8 ) %,respectively. The time course of platelet activation by different tubes showed that the platelet activation by L722-coated PET tubes and polypropylene tubes in 60 rain was not significantly different from the results in30 mitt Conclusions The diverse surface energy status induced by different material and surface treatment of blood collection tubes have obvious effects on the activation of platelets. The silicic oil surface treatment can effectively improve the blood compatibility of blood collection tubes. CD62p detectod by FCM is a sensitive marker for the evaluation of the activation of platelets induced by the material of blood collection tubes. It is of importance in the establishment of surface treatment model of blood container and screening out the material of clinical application.
