BACKGROUND:Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) can inhibit lipid peroxidation after rat brain injury. However, the trend of 5-lipoxygenaseis (5-LOX) and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) in model of Parkinson’s disease, and whether CAPE protects against rotenone-induced cel ular injuries by inhibiting the levels of 5-LOX and CysLTs stil need further research.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effect of CAPE on the rotenone-induced Parkinson-like injury, and to determine whether 5-LOX involved.
METHODS:(1) PC12 cel s in good-growth were col ected and divided into five groups cultured with different concentrations of rotenone (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10μmol/L). 24 and 48 hours later, changes of cel ular morphology and activity were observed to single out the optimum concentration of rotenone;at 24 hours, the levels of 5-LOX and CysLTs were detected by western blotting and ELISA, respectively. (2) PC12 cel s were pretreated with different concentrations of CAPE (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μmol/L) for 30 minutes, and 1 μmol/L rotenone was then added. The other cel s received no intervention as blank control group. Subsequently, the cel activity was detected, and the CysLTs production was detected by ELISA at 24 hours.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Rotenone (0.1-10μmol/L) could induce PC12 cel injury with overt morphological and cel activity changes at 24 hours, especial y the 1 μmol/L rotenone. (2) Rotenone also significantly increased the 5-LOX expression and CysLTs production in a concentration-dependant manner. (3) CAPE (1-10μmo/L) significantly attenuated rotenone-induced CysLTs production and cel viability reduction in a concentration-dependant manner. (4) These results suggest that CAPE protects against PC12 cel injuries in the model rat with Parkinson’s disease induced by rotenone involving 5-Lox.

Objective To evaluate the changes of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and its prognostic value in sepsis patients.MethodThe percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells were measured by flow eytometry present in peripheral blood in 36 sepsis patients on day 1,3 and 5 and 15 healthy people (control group).The changes of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells were analyzed in survivors group and non-survivors group respectively.Results There were 19 survivors and 17 non-survivors in sepsis patients.The percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells in survivors group and non-survivors group on day 1 was significantly lower than that in eontrol group [(12.42± 3.26)%,(12.96± 3.00)% vs (16.97 ± 3.66)%,P＜0.05].The percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells in survivors group and non-survivors group on day 3 were both signifieanfly higher than that on day 1 [(24.47±4.62)%vs (12.42±3.26)%,(26.61±3.85)%vs (12.96±3.00)%,P＜0.05].The percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells in survivors group on day 5[(18.28±4.28)%]was significantly lower than that on day 3 (P＜0.05),and the percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells in nonsurvivors group on day 5 were significantly higher than that on day 3(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T ceils between survivors group and non-survivors group on day 1,3 respeefively(P ＞ 0.05),but the percentage of CD4+CD25+/CD4+ T cells in survivors group was significantly lower than that in non-survivors group on day 5 (P＜0.05).Conclusions The CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in sepsis patients decreases following by increase after onset.The persistent increase suggests the emergence of immunoparalysis,which is followed by high monaliy,The CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells are valuable in evaluation of immune state and prediction the prognosis in sepsis patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the antiemetic effect of azasetron hydrochloride in patients with liver neoplasm after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. Methods: 62 patients (33 with primary hepatocellular carcinoma and 29 with hepatic metastasis), who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization( TACE) therapy 78 times in all, were allocated into the azasetron group( administration of azasetron hydrochloride) and the control group( administration of metoclopramide) randomly. The inhibitory effects on nausea and vomiting were observed in the two groups respectively. Results: The antiemetic CR ratio and the response rate( CR + PR) in the azasetron group was 81.0% and 99. 7%, respectively. These results were statistically higher than those in the control group( P

Objective:To investigate the satisfaction of the elderly who lived in medical-nursing combined in-stitutions in Weifang and to provide advice to the relevant department for optimizing the medical-nursing combined care mode. Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 157 subjects from 2 medical-nursing combined institutions in Weifang were selected for the questionnaire survey. Results:The satisfaction score of the elderly was (4. 14 ± 0. 33), which was in the medium to high level. The satisfaction score of each dimension from high to low was listed as the daily life demands, the medical care needs, the recreational demands and psychological demands. Conclusions:The medical-nursing combined pension mode can mostly meet the basic needs of the elderly, but the service content needs to be expanded. It is needed for pension institutions to fully mobilize social resources to a-chieve the sustainable development of medical-nursing combined care mode.

Objective To explore the change and clinical significance of serum Cystain-C in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura(HSP).Methods Thirty-three children diagnosed HSP according to the domestic criteria hospitalized in department of pediatrics were enrolled in patient group and 31 children outpatients during the corresponding time period as controls.Venous blood of each child in 2 groups was collected in the day of admission,serum Cystain-C was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,plasma D-dimer was measured by gold standard double antibody sandwich method,and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(Scr) were detected by automatic biochemistry analyzer.At the same time each child undertook routine urine examination.Data was analyzed by Stata 8.0 software.Results 1.BUN and Scr of 2 groups were both normal.2.Proteinuria or hematuria was found in 15 of all 33 patients through routine urianlysis,and the detection rate was 45%.3.The pre-and post-therapy level of serum cystain-C[(3.83?0.83) mg/L,(3.76?1.02) mg/L] and plasma D-dimer [(1.93?2.05) mg/L,(0.77?0.79) mg/L] in HSP group were higher than that in controls [(1.21?0.43) mg/L,(0.13?0.07) mg/L] significantly (P0.05).5.In HSP group,the level of plasma D-dimer pretherapy was significantly higher than that of post-therapy(P0.05).Conclusion The level of serum Cystain-C can act as the significant indicator of early diagnosis and continuous observation of HSP nephritis.
