A 1H-NMR procedure based on an analysis of its data by a multivariate calibration method was conducted for the simultaneous determination of theophylline and caffeine in synthetic and real samples. Partial least squares regression (PLS) was chosen as the calibration method. The methyl signals of theophilline at 3.36 and 3.54 ppm that overlapped with those of caffeine were significant characteristics which were employed in this study for their analyses. The proposed method was successfully applied to recovery studies of theophylline and caffeine from real tablet samples.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect and mechanism of iron on the vasodilating effect of interleukin-2 (IL-2) in the isolated aortic ring. METHODS: Isometric tension was recorded in response to drugs in organ bath. Ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) was added to the bath 30 min before phenylephrine (1 micromol/L), which was followed by IL-2 in a cumulative fashion. Spectrophotometry was used to determine the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) of the thoracic aorta. RESULTS: FAC (0.1 - 10 micromol/L) alone did not affect the tension of rings,but inhibited the vasodilating effect of IL-2 (1 - 1,000 U/ml) in a dose dependent manner. IL-2(1, 10, 100, 1000 U/ml) decreased the aortic tension to (78.47+/-4.31)%, (66.86+/-5.55)%, (52.62+/-4.51)% and (42.39+/-4.27)% of pre-drug control, respectively. However, after incubation with 10 micromol/L FAC in the presence of IL-2, the aortic tension was reduced to (89.81+/-1.94)%, (86.13+/-3.11)%, (77.16+/-5.66)% and (68.76+/-5.69)% of pre-drug control, respectively. Pretreatment with L-arginine (1 mmol/L) abolished the inhibitory effect of FAC. Pretreatment with FAC attenuated the increased activity of NOS induced by IL-2 from (22.10+/-1.87)U/mg prot to (15.71+/-0.89)U/mg prot. High Ca(2+) (2.5 mmol/L) incubation did not change the inhibitory effect of FAC. Pretreatment with FAC attenuated the increased caffeine-releasable pool of Ca(2+) by IL-2. High K(+) (10 mmol/L) incubation abolished the inhibitory effect of FAC. CONCLUSION: FAC inhibits the vasodilating effect of IL-2 in the isolated aortic ring,which may be mediated by decreasing the activity of NOS. Intracellular calcium release and inward rectifier potassium channel are involved in the inhibitory effect of FAC.

[Effect of pinacidil on rat myocardial calcium regulation]
[Article in Chinese]

OBJECTIVE: To understand the effect of pinacidil on rat myocardial Ca(2+)regulation. METHODS: After baseline measurement and a period of equilibrium, myocytes were randomly allocated to one of 4 treatment groups: Control group (8 myocytes): incubation in Lactate Ringer's solution at 24 degrees C for 2 hours; K group (8 myocytes): incubation in Lactate Ringer's solution containing 16 mmol/L potassium at 24 degrees C for 2 hours; K+P group (8 myocytes): incubation in Lactate Ringer's solution containing potassium 16 mmol/L and pinacidil 50 micromol/L at 24 degrees C for 2 hours; K+P+G group (8 myocytes): incubation in Lactate Ringer's solution containing potassium 16 mmol/L, pinacidil 50 micromol/L and glibenclamide 10 micromol/L at 24 degrees C for 2 hours. After each incubation, myocytes were resuspended in cell culture media at the same temperature and intracellular [Ca(2+)](i) and SR Ca(2+) release were measured. RESULTS: The amplitude percent of [Ca(2+)](i) transient evoked by electrical stimulation in the K group was significantly decreased to 67.05% - 80.11% compared to 90.27% - 95.57% in the K+P group during reperfusion after ischemia (P<0.01). The percent amplitude of the [Ca(2+)](i) transient evoked by the rapid application of 10 mmol caffeine in the K group myocyte was approximately 112.00%+/-16.93% compared with that of the [Ca(2+)](i) transient evoked by electrical stimulation. However, in the K+P group myocyte the peak amplitude of the caffeine induced Ca(2+) release was 173.15%+/-26.01% compared with electrical stimulation (P<0.01). The duration of transient evoked by caffeine in K+P group (3.20+/-0.71 ms was significantly shorter than that in K group (3.93+/-0.46) ms (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Cardioplegic arrest with simultaneous activation of KATP channels preserves rat myocardial Ca2+ by inducing sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release and by alteration of Na(+)-Ca(2+) exchanger to better maintain [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes
hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors.
Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs.
However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals.
The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime.
Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.
