Postmenopausal Osteoporosis (PMOP) is oestrogen withdrawal characterized of much production and activation by osteoclast in the elderly female. Cytisine is a quinolizidine alkaloid that comes from seeds or other plants of the Leguminosae (Fabaceae) family. Cytisine has been shown several potential pharmacological functions. However, its effects on PMOP remain unknown. This study designed to explore whether Cytisine is able to suppress RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis and prevent the bone loss induced by oestrogen deficiency in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. In this study, we investigated the effect of Cytisine on RAW 264.7 cells and bone marrow monocytes (BMMs) derived osteoclast culture system in vitro and observed the effect of Cytisine on ovariectomized (OVX) mice model to imitate postmenopausal osteoporosis in vivo. We found that Cytisine inhibited F‐actin ring formation and tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining in dose‐dependent ways, as well as bone resorption by pit formation assays. For molecular mechanism, Cytisine suppressed RANK‐related trigger RANKL by phosphorylation JNK/ERK/p38‐MAPK, IκBα/p65‐NF‐κB, and PI3K/AKT axis and significantly inhibited these signalling pathways. However, the suppression of PI3K‐AKT‐NFATc1 axis was rescued by AKT activator SC79. Meanwhile, Cytisine inhibited RANKL‐induced RANK‐TRAF6 association and RANKL‐related gene and protein markers such as NFATc1, Cathepsin K, MMP‐9 and TRAP. Our study indicated that Cytisine could suppress bone loss in OVX mouse through inhibited osteoclastogenesis. All data provide the evidence that Cytisine may be a promising agent in the treatment of osteoclast‐related diseases such as osteoporosis. 相似文献

Current advances in high-speed networks such as ATM and fiber-optics, and software technologies such as the JAVA programming
language and WWW tools, have made network-based computing a cost-effective, high-performance distributed computing environment.
Metacomputing, a special subset of network-based computing, is a well-integrated execution environment derived by combining
diverse and distributed resources such as MPPs, workstations, mass storage, and databases that show a heterogeneous nature
in terms of hardware, software, and organization. In this paper we present the Virtual Distributed Computing Environment (VDCE),
a metacomputing environment currently being developed at Syracuse University. VDCE provides an efficient web-based approach
for developing, evaluating, and visualizing large-scale distributed applications that are based on predefined task libraries
on diverse platforms. The VDCE task libraries relieve end-users of tedious task implementations and also support reusability.
The VDCE software architecture is described in terms of three modules: (a) the Application Editor, a user-friendly application
development environment that generates the Application Flow Graph (AFG) of an application; (b) the Application Scheduler,
which provides an efficient task-to-resource mapping of AFG; and (c) the VDCE Runtime System, which is responsible for running
and managing application execution and for monitoring the VDCE resources. We present experimental results of an application
execution on the VDCE prototype for evaluating the performance of different machine and network configurations. We also show
how the VDCE can be used as a problem-solving environment on which large-scale, network-centric applications can be developed
by a novice programmer rather than by an expert in low-level details of parallel programming languages.

A series of indole tetrahydropyridine and indole cyclohexenylamines was prepared, and their binding affinities at the human serotonin transporter (SERT) were determined. In particular, a nitrile substituent at the C5 position of the indole ring gave potent SERT activity. The stereochemistry of the N,N-dimethylamine substituent was determined for the most potent indole cyclohexenylamine, 6a. The enantiomers of 6a were energy minimized and compared to other conformationally restricted SSRIs. Compound 6a was found to give a dose-response similar to the SSRI fluoxetine in microdialysis studies in rats. 相似文献

An off-line filtering ditch–pond system was designed and constructed to control the small point and runoff pollution at the Wuhan City Zoo, Hubei Province, China. The quantity and quality of wastewater discharge and runoff from 16 rainfall events were measured to test the effectiveness of the off-line treatment train. The results showed that the water quality was improved and high retention rates for water and pollutants were also achieved by the off-line treatment train. In the outflows, the event mean concentrations (EMCs) of TSS, COD, TN, TDN, TP and TDP were reduced by 75%, 50%, 50%, 57%, 74% and 80% compared to the inflows. In 2005, the annual inflow volume in the catchment was 6783 m3 and the water retention rate was 80.1%. The retention rates in the annual loads of TSS, COD, TN and TP came to 86.4%, 85.5%, 83.9% and 82.9%, respectively. Therefore, the off-line filtering ditch–pond system was shown to be an effective and economical measure to control diffuse pollution. It would be worthwhile to extend the off-line treatment train to regions with limited land resources, especially in urban areas. 相似文献

The release of anthropogenic pollution into freshwater ecosystems has largely transformed biodiversity and its geographical distribution patterns globally. However, for many communities including ecologically crucial ones such as zooplankton, it is largely unknown how different communities respond to environmental pollution. Collectively, dispersal and species sorting are two competing processes in determining the structure and geographical distribution of zooplankton communities in running water ecosystems such as rivers. At fine geographical scales, dispersal is usually considered as the dominant factor; however, the relative role of species sorting has not been evaluated well, mainly because significant environmental gradients rarely exist along continuously flowing rivers. The Chaobai River in northern China represents a rare system, where a significant environmental gradient exists at fine scales. Here, we employed high‐throughput sequencing to characterize complex zooplankton communities collected from the Chaobai River, and tested the relative roles of dispersal and species sorting in determining zooplankton community structure along the pollution gradient. Our results showed distinct patterns of zooplankton communities along the environmental gradient, and chemical pollutant‐related factors such as total phosphorus and chlorophyll‐a were identified as the major drivers for the observed patterns. Further partial redundancy analyses showed that species sorting overrode the effect of dispersal to shape local zooplankton community structure. Thus, our results reject the dispersal hypothesis and support the concept that species sorting caused by local pollution can largely determine the zooplankton community structure when significant environmental gradients exist at fine geographical scales in highly polluted running water ecosystems. 相似文献

Despite the wide use of Chinese licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) for the treatment of menopausal complaints, little is known on its potential estrogenic properties, and available information relative to its effects on cell proliferation is contradictory. In this study, the estrogenic properties of licorice root were evaluated in vitro by use of several assays. The effects of increasing concentrations of a DMSO extract of licorice root on the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells were biphasic. The extract showed an ER-dependent growth-promoting effect at low concentrations and an ER-independent anti-proliferative activity at high concentrations. In further experiments, licorice root was sequentially extracted to yield four fractions: hexane, EtOAc, methanol and H2O. Only the EtOAc extract had effects on cell proliferation similar to the DMSO extract. The hexane extract had no effect on cell growth. In contrast, the methanol and water extracts showed an ER-independent, growth-promoting effect. Similar to its effects on cell proliferation, the EtOAc extract had a biphasic effect on S phase cell cycle distribution and the level of PCNA protein. This extract-induced transactivation of endogenous ERα in MCF-7 cells, supported by inducing down-regulation of ERα protein and mRNA levels, and up-regulation of ERα target genes pS2 and GREB1. These results suggest that the activity of licorice root and the balance between increased risk for cancer and prevention of estrogen-dependent breast cancer may depend on the amount of dietary intake. 相似文献
