Abstract
Adrenergic, alpha-1B-, receptor (ADRA1B) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma, coactivator 1 beta (PPARGC1B) genes are involved in regulation of hen ovarian development. In this study, these two genes were investigated as possible molecular markers associated with hen-housed egg production, egg weight (EW) and body weight in Chinese Dagu hens. Samples were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) technique, followed by sequencing analysis. Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified within the candidate genes. Among them, an A/G transition at base position 1915 in exon 2 of ADRA1B gene and a T/C mutation at base position 6146 in the 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of PPARGC1B gene were found to be polymorphic and named SNP A1915G and T6146C, respectively. The SNP A1915G (ADRA1B) leads to a non-synonymous substitution (aspartic acid 489-to-glycine). The 360 birds from the Dagu population were divided into genotypes AA and AG, allele A was found to be present at a higher frequency. Furthermore, the AG genotype correlated with significantly higher hen-housed egg production (HHEP) at 30, 43, 57, and 66 wks of age and with a higher EW at 30 and 43 wks (p<0.05). For the SNP T6146C (PPARGC1B), the hens were typed into TT and TC genotypes, with the T allele shown to be dominant. The TC genotype was also markedly correlated with higher HHEP at 57 and 66 wks of age and EW at 30 and 43 wks (p<0.05). Moreover, four haplotypes were reconstructed based on these two SNPs, with the AGTC haplotype found to be associated with the highest HHEP at 30 to 66 wks of age and with higher EW at 30 and 43 wks (p<0.05). Collectively, the two SNPs identified in this study might be used as potential genetic molecular markers favorable in the improvement of egg productivity in chicken breeding.

Abstract
A SAR based carcinogenic toxicity prediction system, CISOC-PSCT, was developed. It consisted of two principal phases: the construction of relationships between structural descriptors and carcinogenic toxicity indices, and prediction of the toxicity from the SAR model. The training set included 2738 carcinogenic and 4130 non-carcinogenic compounds. Three predefined topological types of substructures termed Star, Path and Ring were used to generate the descriptors for each structure in the training set. In this system, the defined carcinogenic toxicity index (CTI) was obtained from the probability of a structural descriptor to either belong to the carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic compounds. Based on these structural descriptors and their CTI, a SAR model was derived. Then the carcinogenic possibility (CP) and the carcinogenic impossibility (CIP) of compounds were predicted. The model was tested from a testing set of 304 carcinogenic compounds (MDL toxicity database), 460 non-carcinogenic compounds (CMC database) and 94 compounds extracted from two traditional Chinese medicine herbs.

Abstract
The intermolecular interaction between two types of non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), HEPT and TIBO, and HIV reverse transcriptase receptor (HIVRT) was investigated. The result of docking study showed that two types of NNRTIs presented similar interaction mechanism with HIVRT. The most active compound of every type of inhibitors could form one hydrogen bond with the residue Lys101 and has hydrophobic interaction with residues Tyr181, Tyr188 and Tyr318, etc. Three 3D-QSAR models including two partial correlation models (one for each family of HEPT and TIBO) and a mixed model gathering two families were constructed. Comparative study of these models indicated that the mixed model offered the strongest prediction ability. For this model, the cross-validated q2 values were 0.720 and 0.675, non-cross-validated r2 values were 0.940 and 0.920 for CoMFA and CoMSIA, respectively. It has been validated by using a test set of 27 inhibitors. Compared with previously reported works, our model showed better prediction ability. It could help us to insight the interaction between NNRTIs and HIVRT, and to design new anti-HIV NNRTIs inhibitors.

Abstract
An efficient virtual and rational drug design method is presented. It combines virtual bioactive compound generation with 3D-QSAR model and docking. Using this method, it is possible to generate a lot of highly diverse molecules and find virtual active lead compounds. The method was validated by the study of a set of anti-tumor drugs. With the constraints of pharmacophore obtained by DISCO implemented in SYBYL 6.8, 97 virtual bioactive compounds were generated, and their anti-tumor activities were predicted by CoMFA. Eight structures with high activity were selected and screened by the 3D-QSAR model. The most active generated structure was further investigated by modifying its structure in order to increase the activity. A comparative docking study with telomeric receptor was carried out, and the results showed that the generated structures could form more stable complexes with receptor than the reference compound selected from experimental data. This investigation showed that the proposed method was a feasible way for rational drug design with high screening efficiency.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of angiotensin II receptor antagonist losartan in experimental glomerulosclerosis. METHODS The 5/6 nephrectomized rats were randomly divided into losartan treatment group and control group, the rats with sham operation served as normal control. Urine proteins were measured in the 2nd, 4th and 6th week after operation, and serum BUN, creatinine, total protein and albumin were measured in the 6th week following operation. Renal pathologic changes were evaluated in the 6th week. RESULTS Losartan not only reduced urine protein, serum creatinine and BUN(P < 0.01), but also significantly ameliorated glomerular mesangial proliferation and glomerular sclerosis. CONCLUSION The results suggest that losartan can retard progression of glomerulosclerosis in 5/6 nephrectomized rats.
