Coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMVD) is an important risk factor for the prognosis of re-perfused ischemic heart. Recent studies showed that the evaluation of CMVD has significant impact on both the early diagnosis of heart diseases relevant to blood supply and prognosis after myocardial reperfusion. In this review, the definition of CMVD from the perspective of pathophysiology was clarified, the principles and features of the state-of-the-art imaging technologies for CMVD assessment were reviewed from the perspective of engineering and the further research direction was promoted.

Recent studies have shown that statins can inhibit the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells. Many Pharmacological actions of statins have nothing to do with thier cholesterol lowering effects. These effects are called non lipid lowering cardiovascular protective effects. In this study, by establishing a high glucose induced vascular endorhelial cell apoptosis model, we explored the mechanism of the non lipid - related cardiovascular protective effect of atorvastatin. The results showed that atorvastatin could protect human umbilical vein endothelial cells from damage induced by new high glucose and inhibit apoptosis. High concentration atorvastatin can up regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and down regulate the expression of Baxprotein [P<0.05]. This suggests that statins may play a role in cardiovascular protection by inhibiting endothelial cell apoptosis. This results is confirmed by experiments, which can provide clues for clinical treatment, and combine drug therapy and lifestyle intervention to reduce blood sugar
摘要
Probiotics as intestinal flora regulators are increasingly applied in clinical practice;however,the administration of probiotics in immunocompromised individuals is rarely reported.This article is aimed to review the benefits and risks of probiotics in immunocompromised individuals,such as HIV-infected individuals and patients with malignant tumors.The research evidence shows that probiotics can reduce the occurrence of different types of diarrhea,regulate the intestinal immune status and decrease the incidence of complications in immunocompromised patients.Randomized controlled clinical trials have shown that the risk of adverse events is not significantly increased in immunocompromised patients compared to those with intact immune status and the probiotics-related infections are only presented in case reports.

In this study, the crude polysaccharides from Sparganium stoloniferum Buch.-Ham were prepared using hotwater extraction and further deproteinzated by Sevage method. The purified fraction of crude polysaccharide was obtained using a DEAE-52 cellulose chromatography and named with WSSP. Then, the antioxidant capacities of WSSP were assessed in vitro and in vivo. The results in vitro indicated that the WSSP possessed notably free radical scavenging capacity. And the antioxidant abilities were dose-dependent and increased with increasing dose of sample. The findings in vivo showed the gavage administration of WSSP can increase SOD and TAOC activities, and decrease MDA levels in tissue and serum of mice. Therefore, the WSSP may serve as a potential antioxidant

摘要
RING finger protein 152 (RNF152) is a novel RING finger protein and has not been well characterized. We report here that RNF152 is a canonical RING finger protein and has E3 ligase activity. It is polyubiqitinated partly through Lys-48-linked ubiquitin chains in vivo and this phenomenon is dependent on its RING finger domain and transmembrane domain. RNF152 is localized in lysosomes and co-localized with LAMP3, a lysosome marker. Moreover, over-expression of RNF152 in Hela cells induces apoptosis. These results suggest that RNF152 is a lysosome localized E3 ligase with pro-apoptotic activities. It is the first E3 ligase identified so far that is involved in lysosome-related apoptosis.

Methods Keloid fibroblasts were isolated from fresh keloid tissue and cultured. The effect of CM-CH on proliferation was examined by MTT assay. The synthesis of collagen was evaluated by hydroxy proline (HP) colorimetric analysis. Results The fibroblasts were treated with CM-CH at concentration of 10 ?g/ml, 50 ?g/ml, and 100 ?g/ml 48h and 72h after treatment, and all of the three concentrations showed inhibitory effects significantly (P0.05) at 200 ?g/ml concentration after 24h, 48h, and 72h. CM-CH at concentration of 10 ?g/ml, 50 ?g/ml, and 100 ?g/ml after treatment for 48h on KFB could markedly decrease the synthesis of collagen (P
摘要
Objective To study the protective effects of nitroxides against hu man keratinocytes oxidative damage induced by H2O2 and its possible mechanisms. Methods Normal human keratinocyte cultures obtained from foreskin were served as test-system. Human keratinocytes were cultured in human keratinocytes growth m edia (KGM) without serum and supplemented with 0.1 mmol/L Ca2+. Experiments wer e performed in culture when the cells grew to fuse. Oxidative damage was induced by adding H2O2 directly to the culture media at different concentrations in the present and absence of nitroxides [(2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPO) a nd 4-hydroxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine (TEMPOL)]. The cell viability w as monitored and the intracellular level of reduced glutathione (GSH), the activ ities of glutathione-peroxidase(GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catal ase were evaluated. Results ①H2O2 could cause damage to human keratinocytes dir ectly. There was a significantly negative correlation between H2O2 concentration and cell viability. ②The level of GSH in keratinocytes lowered with treatment of H2O2. The activities of GSH-Px, SOD and catalase decreased. ③Pretreatment o f the cells with TEMPO and TEMPOL inhibited the damaging effects of H2O2 on cell viability and on cell antioxidant enzymatic systems. Conclusion The results of the study suggest that nitroxides may provide protection for cultured human kera tinocytes against H2O2-induced oxidative injury. It is proposed that the effec ts of nitroxides against cell oxidative damage be related to their protection of cellular enzymatic activities and maintaining cellular antioxidant systems.
