The role of mPer1 in morphine dependence in mice

Investigations using Drosophila melanogaster have shown that the circadian clock gene period can influence behavioral responses to cocaine, and the mouse homologues, mPer1 and mPer2, modulate cocaine sensitization and reward. In the present study, we applied DNAzyme targeting mPer1 to interfere the expression of mPer1 in CNS in mice and studied the role of mPer1 on morphine dependence. We found that the DNAzyme could attenuate the expression of mPer1 in CNS in mice. Mice treated with DNAzyme and morphine synchronously did not show preference to the morphine-trained side, whereas the control group did. In contrast, mice treated with DNAzyme after morphine showed preference to the morphine-trained side as well as the control group did. These results indicate that drug dependence seems to be influenced at least partially by mPer1, but mPer1 cannot affect morphine dependence that has been formed.

Changes in the health situation among the rural population and the challenges to the preventive services in China

80% of China's 1 billion population is rural. In response to the changing situation in rural health care work subsequent to profound economic rural structural reform, appropriate measures in Chinese rural health care work were taken. All levels of leaders in health care and other departments were instructed to continue the rural health care policy of "prevention first," and to expand the functions and tasks of prevention. Rural areas were to given top priority. To reform the current health organizational structure it was necessary to take into account several realities: The rural birth rate has dropped radically since liberation, as has the mortality rate. Life expectancy has increased, the combined effect being a population that is aging rapidly: people 65+ years old comprised 4.91% of the population in 1982. 32.2% of rural families are 1-child families, and the safeguarding of the health of children continues to be a high priority, as does the prevention of cardio- and cerebrovascular disease and malignant tumors, which as cause of 54.91% of mortality, has replaced infectious diseases as the main health threat. Occupational disease have become alarmingly more common as the effort to expand rural industry advances. The 3-level health care network is to continue to be reinforced: county facllities for training and care of complicated diseases, integrating multiple functions that were previously separate, township rural health centers for the development of prevention teams, and village level doctors. The rural medical system must, among other things, transform the medical model to a "biological, psychological, and social" medical model, mobilize various social sectors, and attempt to collect funds from various sources to support health care work and the prevention of disease.     

Cervical tissue uptake of all-trans-retinoic acid delivered via a collagen sponge-cervical cap delivery device in patients with cervical dysplasia

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the systemic absorption and cervical tissue uptake of all-transretinoic acid (TRA), delivered via a collagen spongecervical cap delivery device in patients with intraepithelial cervical dysplasia. Ten patients with histologically proven mild or moderate cervical dysplasia were included in this pharmacologic study. The two TRA concentrations (0.05% and 0.372%) selected for study represent the starting and maximally tolerated doses used in phase I clinical trial. All-trans-retinoic-11-³H acid (³H-TRA, 500 Ci) was used to facilitate cervical tissue uptake studies. Cervical biopsies and post-treatment blood samples were obtained from each patient after TRA exposure. The uptake of TRA into cervical tissues four hours after drug administration was significantly increased at the maximally tolerated TRA dose. There was a rapid decrease in cervical tissue concentration of TRA at the 0.372% dose between 4 and 24 h after drug exposure, suggesting a relatively short elimination half-life of TRA in cervical tissues. HPLC analysis of post-treatment blood samples indicate that there was no systemic absorption of TRA after local cervical administration.

中药基于TGF-β/Smad信号通路改善糖尿病心肌病的研究进展

糖尿病心肌病（DCM）是糖尿病最常见的心血管病变之一。DCM的发生、发展与心肌纤维化密切相关,研究表明心肌纤维化是DCM重要的病理特征,因此针对心肌纤维化的治疗有助于延缓DCM的进程。在DCM进展的过程中,转化生长因子-β（TGF-β）/Smad信号通路的异常转导是高血糖诱导心肌纤维化的重要机制,TGF-β是心肌纤维化的关键因子,在DCM心肌纤维化过程中处于过度表达状态,Smad是TGF-β下游的主要效应因,TGF-β/Smad信号通过诱导心肌细胞凋亡,刺激肌成纤维细胞的过度产生,增加心肌细胞外基质（ECM）的沉积,在糖尿病心脏心肌纤维化的发病机制中发挥复杂作用。近年来中药在DCM的防治中发挥愈发重要的作用,基于TGF-β/Smad信号探寻中药干预DN进程的研究也逐渐增多。诸多药理研究表明,中药在防治DCM方面具备安全、高效等优势,具有明确的抑制心肌胶原沉积、抗心肌纤维化、改善心脏功能,保护心肌等功效,TGF-β/Smad信号通路是中药、中药单体和中药复方发挥DCM心肌保护作用的关键通路之一。鉴基于此,该篇将对近约10年以来中医药干预TGF-β/Smad信号通路治疗DCM现有的药理和实验研究成果进行综述,以期能为中药治疗DCM的进一步深入研究、开发和应用提供参考。     

补肾益智方治疗阿尔兹海默病的研究进展

阿尔茨海默病（AD）是最常见的痴呆形式,目前缺少疾病修饰性的治疗药物。中医理论认为肾精亏虚是AD发生发展的内在机制,补肾益精是中医治疗AD的基本原则,贯穿AD治疗的始终。补肾益智方是治疗AD的临床经验方。补肾益智方治疗AD已有大量文献报道,但补肾益智方缺乏临床应用安全性评价,同时其基础研究薄弱,有效成分不明、多靶点作用机制不清。为阐明补肾益智方多成分、多靶点、多途径治疗AD的作用机制,该文综述了补肾益智方治疗AD的研究进展。进一步收集了16个基于高效液相色谱指纹图谱的补肾益智方主要化学成分,并对其成药性与安全性进行评价。利用基于AD重要病理生理学过程的网络药理学与文献综述相结合的方法,深入分析了补肾益智方靶向胆碱能系统、AD神经病理学特征的有效成分及可能机制。该研究为AD对症治疗、疾病修饰性治疗的药物研发提供了一系列有潜力的先导化合物,并为深入拓展补肾益智方的临床应用提供了理论依据。
