The present invention relates to a process for screening for a gene involving a coronary artery spasm-associated disease, which comprises detecting the presence of the relevant nucleotide substituents in the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene. The present invention provides the ready diagnosis of a coronary artery spasm-associated disease such as angina, which cannot be conveniently screened by the conventional methods.

The invention discloses a method for early detection on the toxicity of the Paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin in the technical field of the biological engineering, which is to make the check solution by the on-site shellfishes and make the abdominal cavity injection to the mouse with the check solution to test the content of the acetylcholine in the mouse brain and the change on activity of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The Paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin can be gained from the content of the acetylcholine and activity of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase, which can make an early detection on the toxicity of the Paralytic shellfish poisoning toxin. The invention realizes the on-site and fast test and analysis to large amount of samples and the early detection on the toxicity, which reduces the time by two to ten times compared with the common mice method currently used in China, avoiding any occurrence of the individual symptom and applicable to the on-site and fast test and analysis to large amount of samples and the early detection on the toxicity. The invention is simple and convenient to operate with only test on change of common biochemical parameters required, which is applicable to promotion and use by the on-site and grass-root test departments.

The invention discloses a formula of a cosmetic. The cosmetic is prepared from the following components: 1-3 parts of dipropylene glycol, 2.5-3 parts of soybean isoflavone, 0.5-1 part of polyethyleneglycol-4, 1-2 parts of butanediol, 0.1-50 parts of L-arginine, 0.8-1.2 parts of sodium hyaluronate, 2-5 parts of glycerol, 3-5 parts of oligopeptide-1, 0.5-1 part of a snow lotus herb extract, 2 partsof phenoxyethanol, 0.5-1 part of a tea extract, 0.8-1.5 parts of dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, 0.2-1 part of trehalose, 0.3-1 part of xanthan gum, 1-1.5 parts of hydroxyethyl cellulose, 0.1-30 parts of menthol, 0.5-0.8 part of chlorphenesin and the balance of pure water. By adopting the scheme, the prepared cosmetic is absorbed by the skin by means of massage, produces L-citrulline subcutaneouslyby means of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, and releases nitrogen monoxide, thus having functions of increasing the blood flow of capillaries, promoting collagen synthesis, improving skin quality,promoting tissue regeneration and epithelial tissue healing, enhancing anti-inflammatory capacity and immunity, and the like. In addition, the cosmetic also can relieve the damage to skin mucous membrane and the itching allergy, and promote the healing of erosion and ulcer.

The invention discloses application of Pin1 siRNA in preparation of a targeted medicine for treating the alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and belongs to the field of prevention and treatment of the alcoholic cardiomyopathy. It is proved through experiments that Pin1 takes participate in the cardiac muscle cell apoptosis process caused by alcohol and high-dosage alcohol stimulates the expression and activity of Pin1. By means of Pin1 gene knock-out mediated by Pin1 siRNA, cardiac muscle cell apoptosis mediated by alcohol can be remarkably restrained; due to the over-expression of Pin1, the number of apoptosis muscle cells is further increased. It is further proved that Pin1 promotes mitochondria oxidative stress mediated by alcohol and restrains the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. Through Pin1 gene knock-out mediated by Pin1 siRNA, mitochondria oxidative stress mediated by alcohol, the production decrease of NO and the level decrease of eNOS can be remarkably restrained, and therefore the occurrence and development process of the alcoholic cardiomyopathy is further delayed. An effective technological means is put forward to prevent and treat the alcoholic cardiomyopathy.
