Background.The invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is a kind of high incidence of disease with difficulties in treatment, poor prognosis, and high mortality.Objectives.The study aimed to reveal the effect of cinnamaldehyde on the fungal cell wall and verify its efficacy on invasive pulmonary aspergillosis on immunosuppressed Institute of Cancer Research mice (ICR mice).Methods.ICR mice were given cyclophosphamide 200 mg.kg−1. d−1by intraperitoneal injection for 2 days. On the 4th day, the mice were given 50μLofAspergillosis fumigatusspore (107colony form unit CFU/mL) by intranasal injection to establish immunosuppressive animal models with invasiveAspergillosis fumigatusinfection. Then the mice in treatment group orally administered cinnamaldehyde for 14 consecutive days, while voriconazole was given to the mice in the positive control group.Results.The clearance rate of pulmonary fungi, cure rate, and reduction of 1,3-β-D-glucans in treatment group were 80.00%, 80.00%, and 81.00%, respectively while in positive control group they were 67.00%, 60.00%, and 62.00%, respectively. There were significant differences in the results between two groups as mentioned above (P<0.05). Electron microscopy showed that, in treatment group, the cell wall ofAspergillus fumigatuswas dissolved and detached and the cell surface was incomplete. There were edema, degeneration, and necrosis in nucleus and organelle, which lead to cellular necrocytosis. The cytomembrane ofAspergillus fumigatuswas intact, clear, and complete, whereas the cytomembrane in the positive control group disappeared. The hyphal morphology ofAspergillus fumigatuswas deformed, but the cell wall was intact.Conclusion.Cinnamaldehyde has a good curative effect in the treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillus infection in immunodeficient mice. It mainly affects the synthesis of 1,3-β-D-glucans from the cytoderm ofAspergillus fumigatusbut does not affect cell wall. It would potentially be an effective and novel drug for targeted treatment ofAspergillus fumigatusdeep infection.

Several case-control studies have shown a negative correlation between diabetes and aortic aneurysm. Using an animal model of aneurysm, and cell cultures, we investigated the effects of Rosiglitazone (RGZ), a drug used in the treatment of type II diabetes. Twenty-eight 12 month old ApoE-deficient mice were randomised to three groups. All animals had an osmotic pump inserted subcutaneously on the flank, the positive control group and treatment group released Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) (1μg/min/kg), the sham operated group released saline. The treatment group received RGZ (10mg/kg/day) in their drinking water one week before inserting the pumps and continuously during the following 28 day release of Ang-II. Plasma was collected to measure the lipid profile and determine concentration of IL-6 and active MMP-2 and MMP-9. Gross pathology was evaluated using video micrometry. Expression of proteins and RNAs were analysed using immunohistochemistry, ELISA and quantitative real time RT-PCR. The effect of RGZ on Ang-II induced DNA-binding of transcription factor Egr-1 was determined using electrophoretic mobility shift assays of human aortic smooth muscle cell cultures. In comparison to the positive control group of animals, treatment with Rosiglitazone inhibited the occurrence of fatal rupture (5/10 vs 0/10) and reduced maximal dilatation of the aorta (5.6 ± 0.26 vs 2.6 ± 0.4 mm 2 ). RGZ reduced the concentration of total cholesterol but no significant difference in the atherosclerotic burden was found between groups. RGZ inhibited the angiotensin II-induced tissue expression of AT1a receptor, but had no affect on increased mRNA expression of AT2 receptor, MMP-2 or MMP-9. Plasma protein concentrations of IL6, and MMP-9 were increased by Ang-II and decreased by RGZ. The amount of collagen deposited in the supra-renal region of the abdominal aortae was increased in animals treated with RGZ. RGZ inhibited Ang-II induced DNA binding of the transcription factor, early growth response-1 (Egr-1) in human smooth muscle cells. These data suggest that RGZ reduces the incidence of development and rupture in this murine model of aneurysm through AT1a mediated effects on transcriptional regulation of genes which determine phenotypic status of the vessel wall.
