Resveratrol alleviates Kawasaki disease-induced myocardial injury via inhibition of apoptosis and autophagy / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVES@#To explore the effect of resveratrol (Res) on Kawasaki disease (KD)-induced myocardial injury and to evaluate its effect on apoptosis and autophagy.@*METHODS@#Forty-eight juvenile male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, a Res group, a lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE)-induced Kawasaki disease group (KD group), and a LCWE-induced Kawasaki disease + Res treatment group (Res+KD group). The control group was intraperitoneally injected with saline. The Res group was intraperitoneally injected with resveratrol (100 mg/kg). The KD group was intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mL LCWE (1 mg/mL). The Res+KD group was intraperitoneally injected with 0.5 mL LCWE (1 mg/mL) and resveratrol (100 mg/kg). After 4 weeks, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and short axis shortening rate (LVFS) were detected by echocardiography. The apoptotic rate was detected by terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. The levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3β (LC3B), Beclin-1, autophagy related 5 (Atg5) and sequestosome-1 (p62) were detected by Western blotting. The formation of autophagosome was observed under transmission electron microscope.@*RESULTS@#There was no significant difference in the above-mentioned indexes between the control group and the Res group (all @*CONCLUSIONS@#Res can attenuate the KD-induced myocardial injury via inhibiting the apoptosis and autophagy.

Capillary electrophoresis coupled with electrochemiluminescence for determination of cloperastine hydrochloride / 西安交通大学学报·英文版

Objective: To investigate the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of cloperastine hydrochloride. Methods: ECL intensity of tris (2,2′-bipyridyl) rutheniumo(II) was enhanced, the method for the determination of cloperastine hydrochloride was established using capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with electrochemilumolinescence (ECL) detection. Results: Under the optimum conditions, ECL intensity varied linearly with cloperastine hydrochloride concentration from 7.0 × 10-6g/mL to 1.0 × 10-4g/mL. The detection limit (S/N=3) was 8.05 × 10-7 g/mL. The relative standard deviation of the ECL intensity and the migration time for 11 consecutive iajections of 1.0 × 10-5 g/mL cloperastine hydrochloride was 2.9% and 1.5%, respectively. This method was successfully applied to cloperastine hydrochloride tablet determination. Conclusion: The method has been established, validated and applied for determination of cloperastine hydrochloride.
