Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of dexamethasone in hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Methods Use bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) method to gain alveolar macrophages (AM) from newborn SD rats. AM were adherence purified for 24 hours, then randomly assigned to four groups: Ⅰ. hyperoxia group, Ⅱ. hyperoxia plus LPS group, Ⅲ. hyperoxia plus dexamethasone group, Ⅳ. hyperoxia plus LPS plus dexamethasone group. Every group contains 7 samples. After cultured for 48 hours, supernatants were harvested. L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity? hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and IL-8 contents of supernatants were examined in all groups. Results (1)48 h after culture, the content of IL-8 in groupⅠandⅡwas (46?15)pg/ml?(145?27)pg/ml respectively, in groupⅢandⅣwas(29?4)pg/ml?(39?8)pg/ml respectively, IL-8 content was decreased in group Ⅲ and Ⅳcompared with group Ⅰand Ⅱ(P

The DNA copy-number variant (CNV) is a kind of segments of DNA ranging from 1 kb to 3 Mb that is present in a variable number of copies.CNVs widely distribute across the human genome,and dramatically increases genetic diversity.In recent years,researches have found that most CNVs are closely related to complex diseases.If a cancer gene is directly encompassed or overlapped by a CNV,it may lead to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes,and finally results in tumorigenesis.CNVs can affect gene expression,phenotype differences and phenotypic adaptations by changing gene dosages and gene activities,and then sequentially lead to tumor or any other genetic dieases.Investigating CNVs is apparently helpful for studing chromosome recombination,genomic evolution,gene expression and the pathogenesis of multiple complex diseases especially tumor.

Objective To compared the condition of DSA and MRA for detection the lesion vessels in elder patients with recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular disease(ICVD).Methods 52 patients with ICVD,including 41 cases of cerebral infarction(CI) and 11 cases of transient ischemic attack(TIA) were detected by DSA,and the 44 cases of them were detected by MRA too.Results The vascular anomalies were detected in 43 cases(82.69%) of the 52 patients by DSA.Among them,39 cases(75%) had vascular stenosis,in which 31 cases(75.61%) were CI,and the other 8 cases(72.73%) were TIA.The aneurysm were founfd out in 2 cases,and vascular dysplasia and variation were also found in each 1 case by DSA.The vascular stenosis were found in 10 cases(22.73%) of 44 patients by MRA,in which 8 cases(18.18%) were CI,while 2 cases(4.55%) were TIA.The detection rate of lesion vessels in DSA was significantly higher than that in MRA(P

Objective To investigate the efficacy of electrochemotherapy with pingyangmycin (bleomycin A5) for the treatment of human prostate cell line PC 3M in vitro. Methods The prostate cancer cells were treated by pingyangmycin alone, electric pulse alone and by electrochemotherapy, i.e. electric pulses were delivered after pingyangmycin was given. Cytotoxicity was examined by MTT assay and histological examination. Results The maximum nontoxic dose for pingyangmycin was 0.1 ?g/ml; The maximum voltage not showing cytotoxicity was 125 V/mm.The 50% inhibitory concentration was 100 times reduced in electrochemotherapy than pingyangmycin alone. Conclusions The cytotoxicity of pingyangmycin can be enhanced by electric impulses. Pingyangmycin may be a novel drug for electrochemotherapy.

Objective To explore the effect of Shen-Fu injection(SFI,参附注射液) on expressions of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in renal failure induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI) in rats and its possible mechanism in the protection of kidney.Methods The model of intestinal IRI was induced by clamping superior mesenteric artery(SMA) for 1 hour and then releasing the arterial clamp for 6 hours.Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: IRI model group,SFI pretreatment group and sham operation group.In the SFI pretreatment group,10 ml/kg of SFI was pumped in at constant rate 30 minutes before the ischemia,the SMA was clumped for 1 hour and then released,while in the IRI model group,an equal volume of normal saline was pumped in continuously 30 minutes before the ischemia.The serum creatinine(SCr) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were observed respectively.Expressions and distributions of HO-1 and iNOS in the rat kidney tissue were detected by immunohistochemitry and morphometry computer image analysis.The histological changes of kidney were observed under light microscope.Results The expressions of HO-1 and iNOS were markedly higher,and the levels of SCr and BUN were also significantly higher in intestinal IRI model group than those in the sham operation group(all P

Objective To investigate the effect of radix paeoniae rubra (RPR) on expression of heme oxygenase (HO-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and explore its protective mechanism. Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly and equally divided into five groups, ie, control group, LPS group, RPR treatment group, RPR prevention group and Hemin group. Arterial blood was drawn for blood gas analysis. Models of endotoxin-induced ALI were used to observe the protein content, the ratio of neutrophiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in lung and the activities of serum NO. Expression of HO-1 and iNOS in rat lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and morphometry computer image analysis. The histological change of lung were observed under light microscope. Results Compared with control group, expression of HO-1 and iNOS was markedly increased (P

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of two parenteral nutrition (PN)methods in preterm infants. Methods Forty-two preterm infants who could not tolerate full enteral feeding were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty-two cases of the experimental group started to receive amino acids (AA) by 1.0 g/(kg·d) within 24 h after birth. Then AA was increased by 1.0 g/(kg·d)each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg·d)The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA within 48 h. Complete PN was achieved 5 d after birth. Twenty cases of the control group started to receive AA by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) ,and then increased by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg ·d). The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA after 72 h. Complete PN was achieved at 8 or 9 d after birth. The feeding results was observed,the blood biochemistry was monitored at 72 h and 10 d after birth,and the incidence of complication was recorded. Results In comparison with the control group, time returning to birth weight, the weight loss rate, PN time and time returning to full enteral feeding were shorter in the experimental group (P ＜0. 01). There were no significant differences in the blood glucose,total bilirubin, urea nitrogen,carbon dioxide combining power,total cholesterol and the incidence of complication between the two groups (P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion Quantity sufficient and early parenteral nutrition can be tolerated by preterm infants within 24 h after birth.
