Objective To investigate the relationship between serum growth hormone, C-peptide, blood lipids levels, blood glu-cose, hypertension and type 2 diabetes nephropathy. Methods 82 type 2 diabetes (including 40 without nephropathy and 42 with nephropa-thy) and 39 healthy objects were enrolled. BG,GH,C-P,HbAlc,TC,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C were detected. Results The results showed that the values of blood glucose in each time-phase and HbAlc in both type 2 diabetes groups were significantly higher than that in healthy objects. In type 2 diabetes nephropathy group, the serum levels HbAlc, FGH, TC, TG, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher than that without nephropathy and those healthy objects(P<0.01). C-P (Oh)and C-P (2h)in type 2 di-abetes nephropathy group was significantly lower than that without nephropathy and those healthy objects(P<0.01). In groups patients of type 2 diabetes nephropathy, the disease duration had significantly longer than patients without nephropathy (P<0.01). The results of cor-related analysis with Pearson showed that HbAlc was significantly positive correlated with FGH(r=0.912, P<0.01), HbAlc was signifi-cantly negatively correlated with C-P(0h)(r=-0.803, P<0.01)and HbAlc was significantly negatively correlated with C-P(2h)(r=-0.771, P<0.01). FGH was significantly positive correlated with TC (r=0.413, P<0.05). Conclusion These results suggested that type 2 diabetes nephropathy has persistent elevated levels of blood glucose and disorder of lipid metabolism. The elevated levels of FGH, hy-pertension and islet B cell secretion function deficiency are important risk factors for type 2 diabetes nephropathy.

Objective: To analyse the antinociceptive effect of red nucleus (RN) and its role in the antinociceptive effect of muscle spindle afferents. Methods: The single units of RN or wide dynamic range (WDR) neuron in the spinal cord dorsal horn were extracelluarly recorded. The effects of RN stimulation on nociceptive responses (C-fibers-evoked responses, C-responses) of WDR neurons were observed. The influence of muscle spindle afferents elicited by intravenous administration of succinylcholine (Sch) on the spontaneous discharge of RN neurons and on C-responses of WDR neurons were observed. The effect of muscle spindle afferents on C-responses of WDR neurons after unilateral lesions of RN was also observed. Results: Electrical stimulation of the RN produced a significantly inhibitory effect on the nociceptive responses of WDR neurons. RN neurons were excited by muscle spindle afferents. Muscle spindle afferents significantly inhibited C-response of WDR neurons and this inhibitory effect was reduced by lesions of RN. Conclusion: RN neurons have a significant antinociceptive effect and might be involved in the antinociceptive effects elicited by muscle spindle afferents.

Objective To cultivate human retinal capillary endothelial cells (HRECs) and establish two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels in vitro. Methods In a fibronectin-coated raising pound, HRECs were cultured by non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate and two-dimensional model of human retinal vessels was established. Horseradish peroxidase was used to detect the permeability. Some of the vascular models were cultivated with 5 ng/ml vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), whose changes of permeability was compared with which of the models without cultivation with VEGF. The effect of VEGF on vascular permeability was observed. Results Meshy vascular structure came into being due to the confluent HRECs after 2 to 4 days. Comparatively complete two-dimensional vascular model after about 6 days. VEGF increased vascular permeability and promoted the formation of blood vessels. Conclusion HRECs can be cultivated successfully with human-endothelial-cells substrate; standard retinal two-dimensional vascular model in vitro can be established by using cellular raising pound and non-serum human-endothelial-cells substrate.
