Objective: To observe the effects of salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on isoproterenol (ISO)-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy of neonatal rats and clarify the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Hypertrophy in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes was induced by ISO. The effect of Sal B on the myocardial viability of neonatal rats was measured by MTT. The mRNA expression levels of ANP and BNP were detected by RT-PCR. Colorimetric method was employed to measure SOD activity and MDA content. The expression levels of JAK1 and STAT3 were assessed by Western blotting. Results: Sal B at different concentration had no effect on the myocardial viability of neonatal rats. Compared with the model group, Sal B at 10 and 20 μmol/L could obviously down-regulate the gene expression levels of ANP and BNP (P < 0.01, 0.05), significantly increase SOD activity, and decrease MDA content. The protein expression levels of JAK1/STAT3 were down-regulated (P < 0.01, 0.05). Conclusion: Sal B could effectively inhibit ISO-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy of neonatal rats and the mechanism may be related with the anti-oxidative stress and the inhibition of JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To compare the safety of dexmedetomidine-versus remifentanil-based topical anesthesia for awake intubation.Methods PubMed,EMBASE,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,Chinese Biomedical Database,CNKI and Wanfang Database were searched from January 1990 to April 2016 for randomized controlled trials involving the safety of dexmedetomidine-and remifentanil-based topical anesthesia for awake intubation.The following data were extracted:the rate of successful intubation at first attempt and development of hypertension,hypotension,bradycardia,tachycardia,respiratory depression,bucking,body movement,sore throat,hoarseness and postsurgical memory of intubation.Meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software.Results Ten studies involving 528 patients were included in this meta-analysis,and there were 262 cases in dexmedetonidine group and 266 cases in remifentanil group.Compared with remifentanil group,the incidence of respiratory depression and postsurgical memory of intubation were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the rate of successful intubation at first attempt and incidence of hypertension,hypotension,bradycardia,tachycardia,bucking,body movement,sore throat and hoarseness in dexmedetomidine group (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine-based topical anesthesia provides higher safety than remifentanil-based topical anesthesia when used for awake intubation.

Objective To clone and express the E2 gene in envelope region of hepatitis C virus and detect the anti E2 in sera of patients with HCV infection,using the purified E2 Protein.Methods The gene fragment of E2 region was obtained from the sera of patients with HCV infection by random primer reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and then cloned into procaryotic expression system to express and Purify the protein and detect its antigenicity.Results A segment of E2 region gene with correct code reading frame was obtained,its full length was 984 bp and molecular weight of expressed Protein was 38kD.The detection of the protein performed by ELISA with sera from the patients with HCV infection,testified that it had appropriate antigenicity.Conclusion This experiment can provide the fundamental data for researching on the basic characteristics of HCV envelope protein,nuderstanding the significance of serological diagnosis and designing the anti HCV vassine.

The effects of magnolol (Mag) on hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia, hepatic oxidative stress and cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) activity of diabetic rats induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ) were studied. After oral administration of Mag (25, 50 and 100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) for continuous 10 weeks, the blood glucose and lipids (TC, TG and LDL-C) levels, as well as the hepatic CYP2E1 activity and MDA content of diabetic rats, decreased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), whereas the oral glucose tolerance and hepatic antioxidant enzymatic activities (CAT and GSH-Px) of diabetic rats, increased significantly (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The results indicated that Mag was effective against the hepatic oxidative damage, hyperglycemia and hyperlipemia of diabetic rats induced by HFD and STZ, and the inhibition of Mag on hepatic CYP2E1 activity could be an important mechanism of Mag against hepatic insulin resistance and oxidative damage.

The imaging findings of pelvic lipomatosis as confirmed by operation and pathology were examined in 1 case and two follow-up asymptomatic cases retrospectively analyzed.The imaging findings included a compressed and deformed bladder with a superior displacement.Its shape was like an inverted tear and pear in coronal view and a banana in sagittal view.Bilateral ureters were both compressed with a medial deviation.And bilateral ureters were dilated with hydronephrosis in 1 case.Rectum and sigmoid were both compressed and became narrowed.The clinical manifestations included frequent urination , urgent urination , urination pain, dysuria, constipation, nausea, vomit and fever in 1 case while another 2 cases stayed asymptomatic.
