[Effect of naringin on oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in diabetic cardiomyopathy].

To explore the protective effect of naringin(Nar) on the injury of myocardium tissues induced by streptozotocin(STZ) in diabetic rats and the relationship with oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS)， the male SD rats were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin(STZ， 60 mg·kg⁻¹) to establish the diabetic rat model and then randomly divided into the type 1 diabetic rat group(T1DR)， the low-dose Nar group(Nar25)， the middle-dose Nar group(Nar50) and the high-dose Nar group(Nar100). The normal rats were designed as control group(Con). Nar25， Nar50， Nar100 groups were orally administered with Nar at the doses of 25.

[Morphology of Hypertrophic Scar Tissues and Expressions of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor and Transforming Growth Factor Beta Activated Kinase 1 in These Tissues].

Objective: To observe the morphology of hypertrophic scar tissue and explore the expressions and distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor beta activated kinase 1(TAK1 )in these tissues.

Method: Hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining,immunofluorescence,and real-time polymerase chain reaction were used to detect the localization and expression of VEGF and TAK1 in 15 hypertrophic scar tissues and 10 normal skin tissues.

Results: Morphological observation showed that the dermal fibroblasts in hypertrophic scar were disorderly and densely arranged (compared to the normal skin).

Alterations in gene expression and steroidogenesis in the testes of transient cerebral ischemia in male rats.

Background: Serum testosterone levels have been found lower in acute ischemic stroke male patients. However, the exact mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we measured serum testosterone levels, steroidogenesis- related genes and Leydig cells number in experimental transient cerebral ischemia male rats to elucidate the mechanism.

[Studies on HPLC fingerprint of co-hirudo injection].

Objective: Using HPLC To determine hypoxanthine in co-hirudo injection for establishing its HPLC fingerprint, and evaluating its internal quality.

Method: The chromatographic separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm,5 microm).

[Index system and fuzzy synthetic assessment in landscape evaluation of ornamental grasses].

A composite index system for landscape evaluation of ornamental grasses was built from the aspects of ecological constraints, resources requirement and aesthetic values, and the ornamental grass landscapes in Beijing Botanical Garden and in Nanzhongzhou public green spaces were evaluated by fuzzy synthetic assessment (FSA) method. The results showed that the scores of "very apt" for the ornamental grasses in Beijing Botanical Garden and in Nanzhongzhou public green spaces were 0.459 and 0.

Poly[[diaqua-[μ(4)-4,4'-carbonyl-bis(benzene-1,2-dicarboxyl-ato)]bis-(dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine)dicadmium(II)] monohydrate].

In the title compound, {[Cd(2)(C(17)H(6)O(9))(C(18)H(10)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n), the Cd(II) atom is seven-coordinated by five O atoms from two different 4,4'-carbonyl-bis(benzene-1,2-dicarboxyl-ate) (BPTC) anions and one water mol-ecule, and by two N atoms from one chelating dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (L) ligand in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. The BPTC anions link the Cd(II) atoms, forming a one-dimensional chain structure. The L ligands are attached on both sides of the chain.

Poly[di-μ-cis-cyclo-hexane-1,4-dicarboxyl-ato-μ-trans-cyclo-hexane-1,4-dicarboxyl-ato-bis-[dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine]trimanganese(II)].

In the title compound, [Mn(3)(C(8)H(10)O(4))(3)(C(18)H(10)N(4))(2)], one Mn atom and one cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylate (chdc) ligand are located on centres of inversion. One of the two independent Mn atoms is seven-coordinate, binding to five carboxyl-ate O atoms from different chdc ligands and two phenanthrene N atoms from a dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (L) ligand, while the second Mn atom is six-coordinate, binding to six carboxyl-ate O atoms from different chdc ligands. The cis-chdc ligands bridge the trinuclear Mn(II) clusters, forming chains, which are further linked into a three-dimensional network.
