Objective To evaluate the application of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in diagnosis and screening of thalassemia. Methods Automated HPLC was used to measure HbF and HbA2 in 100 genetically diagnosed thalas-semic patients and 35 normal children. The results were compared with those from traditional tests including alkali denaturation test and cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The diagnose accordance rates, sensitivity and specificity were compared. Results Seventy-fourβthalassemia, 64 were heterozygous with single mutations and 10 were compound heterozygous with double muta-tions. Twenty-sixαthalassemia, 25 were compound mutations and one was heterozygous with single mutation. The HbF percent-age from HPLC was higher than that from alkali denaturation tests in either thalassemia or normal children (P<0.01). HbF level from HPLC inα-thalassemia was signiifcantly different from that in the normal children (P=0.011). The percentage of HbA2 from HPLC was higher than that from cellulose acetate electrophoresis (P=0.010). HbA2 in the single heterozygousβ-thalassemia were twice higher than that in the double heterozygous mutatedβ-thalassemia (P<0.01). The combination of HbF-HbA2 (≥4.0%) from HPLC with MCV (<80 lf) and MCH (<27 pg) had high accordance rates (99.3%), sensitivity (99.0%) and speciifcity (100.0%) in diagnosis of thalassemia. Conclusions When the results of HPLC are combined with MCV and MCH, it can be applied to the diagnosis of thalassemia with high speciifcity, high sensitivity and has high diagnostic accordance rate with genetic results. HPLC can be an ideal approach to screenβthalassemia.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Exenatide-induced rat pancreatic tissue lesion.Methods Thirty SD male rats were divided into three groups according to complete random design,and each group had 10 rats,namely Exenatide group,diabetes-model group and control group.Diabetes-model rats were induced by streptozotocin (STZ,35mg/kg) and high-sugar and high-fat diet.The Exenatide group and diabetes group were subcutaneously administered with Exenatide at a dose of 5 μg/kg twice a day.The control group was treated with same amount of saline.Ten weeks later,all the rats were sacrificed and the pancreatic tissues were harvested for routine pathological examination.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type Ⅲ collagen protein in pancreatic tissue,and ELISA was applied to measure the expression of matrix metalloprotei-nase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in pancreatic tissue.Results In control group,there was no pathological change in pancreatic tissue.In Exenatide group,chronic inflammatory changes were observed; and the degree of inflammatory changes were much severe in diabetes group,and the pathological scores were gradually increased in the 3 groups (P ＜0.05).The expressions of MMP 2 in pancreatic tissue in control group,Exenatide group,diabetes group were (186.98 ± 23.24),(306.07 ± 59.82),(365.08 ± 89.55) μg/L,and the expressions of MMP-9 were (49.37 ± 7.08),(67.24 ±14.73),(87.37 ±13.39)μg/L.The values were significantly higher in Exenatide group and diabetes group than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05),but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.The numbers of α-SMA positive cells per high power field were (13.4 ± 5.97),(29.5 ± 8.80),(79.3 ± 27.23) in control group,Exenatide group,diabetes group,and the numbers of type Ⅲ collagen positive cells were (10.6 ± 4.93),(29.3 ± 12.95),(56.0 ± 27.21).The values were significantly higher in Exenatide group than those in control group,and the values were significantly higher in diabetes group than those in Exenatide group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Long-term subcutaneous injection of Exenatide may activate pancreatic stellate cells and cause expression of α-SMA,Ⅲ collagen protein,and MMP-2,MMP-9,then induce chronic inflammatory changes.

Objective To investigate the effect of rosiglitazone on the CD4+regulatory T cells in the patients with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults(LADA).Methods The CIM+T cells from IADA patients were isolated with anti-CD4-dynal magnetic beads.The expression of Foxp3 mRNA,along with peroxisome proliferators activator receptors gamma(PPARγ)mRNA and TGF-131 mRNA was determined.The effect of rosiglitazone on CD4+T cells was measured,after treated with rosiglitazone for 48 h.Cell viability was assessed by Mtit assay.The proliferation was assayed with 3 H-TdR.Two-color staining(anti-CD4,anti-CD25)flow cytometric analysis was employed to measure the percentage of CD4+CD25+T cells of Deriph eral blood.Resuits PPARγmRNA was expressed in peripheral CD4+T lymphocytes.RosiglitazoBe inhibited phytohemagglutinin(PHA)-induced human CD4+T cell proliferation in dose dependence.The percentage of CD4+CD25+T cells showed no significant change after the peripheral blood culture with 1 μmol/Land 10μmot/L rosiglitazone.10 μmol/L of rosiglitazone induced Foxp3 mRNA expression in vitro (3.27fold,P<0.05),whereas TGF-β1 mRNA expression did not change.Furthermore,only 1 μmol/L of rosiglitazone could promote Foxp3 mRNA expression if adding IL-2(10 U/m1)in cultures(3.48 fold.P

Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamic action of Yunkang Capsule(YKC).Methods The animals were divided into YKC groups(at high-,moderate-and low-dosage respectively),diphenidol control group,model control group and blank control group.The action of YKC on vertigo and thrombosis,hemorrheologic indexes,piamatral microcirculation and free radicals of the animal models were observed.Results YKC could significantly prolong the latency of vertigo,reduce wet weight of thrombus,decrease blood viscosity,plasma viscosity and hematocrit,promote the dilation of piamatral micro-vessels,increase the amount of interweave microdot,increase plasma SOD activity and decline plasma MDA content of animal models.Conclusion YKC has actions of counteracting vertigo and thrombosis,improving hemorrheology and microcirculation,and clearing away free radicals.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol on the elderly patients under gastroenterological endoscopic procedure. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 3 500 cases with remifentanil and small?dose propofol under gastroenterological endoscopic procedures, and the procedure achievement, effects of the narcotic, adverse reactions and satisfactory results were summarized. Results All procedures were completed successfully. The ratio of the patients whose intended sedation depth arrived at referential induction was up to 91?3%(3 196/3 500).Hemodynamic change was slight and almost all patients could open eyes in no time, with short hospital stay. No serious adverse effects were observed except several patients complaining about mild bucking, abdominal distension and stomachache. The degree of patients′ satisfaction was high. Conclusion The conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol can be effectively and safely used on gastroenterological endoscopic procedure among the elderly, but precise monitor and timely treatment of complications are still needed.
