Methods Mg 2+ -ATPase activities were measured to evaluate the effects of caldesmon, calponin, and tropomyosin on the myosin in unphosphorylation, CDP by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), and CIP by MLCK. Results (1) At different incubation-time, i.e., 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 minutes, the highest Mg 2+ -ATPase activity was ob-served when myosin was in the state of CDP, the medium was CIP of myosin, and the lowest was the unphosphorylated myosin. (2) In the absence of caldesmon, calponin, and tropomyosin, the Mg 2+ -ATPase activities from high to low were in the following order: CDP, CIP, and unphosphorylated myosin. However, in the presence of caldesmon, calponin, and tropo-myosin, the order of relative value of Mg 2+ -ATPase activities from high to low was unphosphorylated, CIP, and CDP of myosin respectively compared to the corresponding controls. Conclusions The results propose that caldesmon, calponin, and tropomyosin are capable of stimulating Mg 2+ -ATPase activity of smooth muscle myosin in Ca 2+ -independent manner, since Ca 2+ is not obligating for the stimulating effects of the three proteins. The common characteristic of the three proteins is that when myosin activities are low, their activations are relatively strong and this property might be involved in smooth muscle tension keeping.展开更多

In this study, peach fruit (Prunus persica sieb et Zucc cv. Yingqing) were picked and stored at 25 and 4℃ to investigate the senescence in correlation with Ca^2+- ATPase activity of microsomal membrane and lipid peroxidation during ripening and senescence. In comparison with that stored at 25~C, the fruit stored at 4℃ exhibited a higher flesh firmness, lower respiration rate, and generated the late bigger peak value of Ca^2+-ATPase activity as well as maintained the higher activity of the enzyme. Meanwhile, the lower levels of super oxygen radical (O2^-.) production and content of malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of membrane lipid peroxidation were observed. Sodium orthovanadate (SO) and erythrosin B (EB), as Ca^2+-ATPase inhibitors, could stimulate the respiration rate. The results suggested that the slower senescence rate of peach fruit was closely related to the higher peak value and longer duration of Ca^2+-ATPase activity in microsomal membrane, with the slighter membrane lipid peroxidation and lower O2^-. production rate.展开更多

Methods: Radioimmunoassay was used to test the level of serum Leptin, and the activity of EMCA was determined chemically in 38 pregnant women with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy and 36 normotensive pregnant women. Results: The level of serum Leptin in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy(gestational hypertension: 13.76 ± 3.46 ng/ml; preeclampsia: 15.76 ± 5.47 ng/ml; eclampsia: 18.32 ± 6.38 ng/ml)was significantly higher than that in normotensive pregnant women (11.33 ± 2.93 ng/ml) ,respectively. The average EMCA activity of patients with hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (gestational hypertension: 1.65 ± 0.24 μmol·pi/mg.h ; preeclampsia: 1.37 ± 0.19 μ mol·pi/mg·h;eclampsia:1.12 ± 0.14 μmol·pi/mg·h) was significantly lower than that of normotensive pregnant women(1.83 ± 0.38 μ mol·pi/mg·h),respectively. There was a negative correlation between the level of serum Leptin and the activity of RMCA in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (r = -0.63). Conclusion: Inhibition of EMCA activity of erythrocyte in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy may increase cytoplasmic free calcium, which contributes to the development of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy. The negative correlation between the level of serum Leptin and the activity of EMCA, also suggested that serum Leptin and the activity of EMCA may play a role in the development of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy.展开更多

The chemical compositions of the activated support and the prepared catalyst were examined in detail. During the dissolution of Mg(OEt) 2 support in ethanol medium with CO 2 bubbling, the structure of support changed to magnesium hydrocarbyl carbonate, (CH 3CH 2O) 2- x Mg(O (C O) OCH 2CH 3) x ( x = 1,2). The content of carbonated CO 2 in the activated support was dependent on the heat treatment in the solidification of support. In the preparation procedure of polymerization catalyst, the activated support was treated with TiCl 4 so that the structure of support was converted to MgCl 2 with the incorporation of ID. The polymerization behavior of the pre-pared catalyst was also studied in the presence of phenyltriethoxysilane as an external donor.展开更多
