AIM: To investigate the effects of candesartan, an angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) on angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) receptor expression in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mouse kidneys. METHODS: KK/Ta mice divided into three groups were treated with candesartan (4 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) or vehicle from 6 or 12 to 28 weeks of age. BALB/c mice(n=6) treated with vehicle were used as controls. Body weight, blood pressure, blood glucose,urinary microalbumin,urinary creatinine and serum creatinine were measured every four weeks.At 28 weeks, morphometric analysis including the whole glomerular area (WGA), glomerular tuft area (GTA), extracellular matrix area (ECMA) and intraglomerular cell nuclei number (NIGCN) was conducted, and renal expressions of AT1 and AT2 were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. RESULTS: KK/Ta mice developed higher body weight, blood glucose, and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio in KK/Ta mice at 28 weeks of age were significantly higher than that of BALB/c mice (427.49±89.37 mg/g vs. 9.54±3.25 mg/g,P<0.01). AT1 expression was upregulated, and AT2 expression was downregulated in KK/Ta kidneys with increased WGA, GTA, ECMA and NIGCN. Candesartan treatment has markedly reduced urinary microalbumin/ creatinine ratio (Early treatment group: 32.18±9.41 mg/g,Late treatment group: 53.20±7.26 mg/g,P<0.01). Treatment with candesartan inhibited AT1 expression and increased AT2 expression. Candesartan treatment reduced WGA, GTA, ECMA, NIGCN, and mean blood pressure. There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups (from 6 or 12 weeks). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that candesartan, an ARB, attenuated glomerular hypertrophy and mesangial matrix accumulation and subsequent albuminuria by down-regulating AT1 expression and up-regulating AT2 expression in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mouse kidneys.

AIM: To investigate the effects and possible mechanism of Rhodiola Rosea (RR) on learning and memory in rats after sleep deprivation. METHODS: Sleep deprivation was induced by the flower pot technique. Half of each group went through Y-maze test and were detected for superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in hippocampus and frontal lobe. The other half were detected for expression ofcholineacetyltransferase (ChAT) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in hippocampus by immunohistochemistry technique. RESULTS: In Y-maze test, total reaction time (TRT) was shorter and error numbers (EN) were less (P<0.05) in RR group than in model group. SOD activity in both hippocampus and frontal lobe was higher (P<0.05) and MDA content in hippocampus was lower (P<0.05) in RR group than in model group. In immunohistochemistry detection, ChAT expression positive cells were in larger quantity and colored at darker profile with clearer outline and more regular arrangement (P<0.05) in RR group than in model group. GFAP expression positive cells were in smaller quantity and colored at lighter mode with smaller volume and fewer and shorter neurite and branches (P<0.05) in RR group than those in model group. CONCLUSION: RR can protect brain from oxidative damage and neuron injury as well as alleviate the impairment on learning and memory capability caused by sleep deprivation.

MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is abundantly expressed in almost all tissues and involved in many diseases. It is reported recently that expression of miR-21 is changed in many cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, heart failure and myocardial ischemia. MiR-21 also participates in functional regulation of vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, cardiac myocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. All these effects of miR-21 are mediated by directing at multiple targets. There are increasing evidence suggesting that miR-21 plays a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases and may be a potential therapeutic target.

The chronic renal failure(CRF) is one of the common diseases in clinic. CRF affects the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug which either eliminate by renal or by nonrenal routes. The tests in vivo and in vitro demonstrated that renal impairment especially end-stage renal disease (ESRD) not only decreased the excretion by kidney, but also the alterations in the activities of and interplay between uptake and efflux transporters and metabolic enzymes significantly affected the PK disposition and resulting exposure of drugs cleared through nonrenal. CRF can directly inhibit the activity of various metabolic enzymes and transporters and in the other sides the CRF can down-regulate the mRNA and protein expression of metabolic enzymes and multiple intestinal and hepatic drug transporters. The reasons of those inhibition effects need more researches. The hemodialysis can partially offset or reverse this kinds of inhibition and dialysis clearance exist in the patient with ESRD.
