Objective To explore the effects of losartan potassium and simvastatin combination therapy on oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis through 12 weeks observation. Methods Diabetic patients with end-stage nephropathy (n=80) who were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were randomly divided into two groups:control group who received routine treatment (n=40), treatment group who were given losartan potassium 50 mg, once per day and simvastatin 20 mg, once every night (n=40). HbA1C, Insulin dosage, Oxidative stress indicators(SOD, GSH-PX, MDA and Hcy)were compared between two groups before and after peritoneal dialysis. Results There was no significant difference of HbA1C between the 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The insulin doses increased be?fore dialysis in both groups after CAPD treatment. It is lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of GSH-PX and SOD in treatment group were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower after treatment. The expressions of GSH-PX and SOD were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower in treat?ment group than those in control group when comparing the same time point(P<0.05). GSH-PX expression level was lower while the expressions of MDA and Hcy were higher after dialysis than those before dialysis in control group ( P<0.05). Con?clusion Losartan potassium combined with simvastatin treatment can improve curative effect and oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Objective To observe the effect of ischemic postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)injury in diabetic rats. Methods A rat model of diabetes was established using a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in 40 male Spragne-Dawley rats.Focal ischemia was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)using a thread.The rats were randomly assigned to a control group,a sham-operated group,an I/R group and an Ⅰ-Post group.The animals in the I/R group were subjected to MCAO for 90 min and then reperfusion.Those in the Ⅰ-post group were subjected to MCAO and 3 cycles of transient ischemia-reperfusion(15 seconds ischemia then 15 seconds reperfusion)before persistent reperfusion.Neurological deficit scores,infarct volume,histological changes in the brain and the number of apoptotic cells were measured 6 hours later.Results There was no significant difference in neurological deficit scores between the I/R group and the Ⅰ-post group.The histological changes and apoptotic cells were significantly less in the Ⅰ-post group compared with the I/R group.Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can inhibit cell apoptosis and reduce cerebral I/R injury after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging features of spastic paraplegia caused by spinal cord Wallerian degeneration after pontine infarction, and to analyze its occurrence process and mechanism.Methods:The clinical manifestations and imaging features of two patients with spastic paraplegia caused by spinal cord Wallerian degeneration after pontine infarction were reported for the first time in China. Combined with anatomy and review of the literature, the mechanism, imaging manifestations and clinical features of Wallerian degeneration of lateral funiculus of spinal cord after pontine infarction were analyzed systematically.Results:Case 1 was a 65 years old female, and case 2 was a 58 years old male, who were treated in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University on December 7, 2018 and June 23, 2019 respectively. All the two patients presented with strength weakness of both limbs, hypertonia, symmetric hyperreflexia, and bilateral extensor plantar responses, which suggested spastic paraplegia secondary to upper motor neuron involvement. Spastic paraplegia appeared eight months after pontine infarction in case 1 and appeared six months after pontine infarction in case 2. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed continuous iso-T 1 and high-T 2 signals of bilateral pyramidal tracts below the pontine foci. Case 1 showed lesions of lateral cord of medulla oblongata, cervical spinal cord and thoracic spinal cord, and case 2 showed lesions of lateral cord of medulla oblongata and cervical spinal cord. At the same time, motor neuron disease and metabolic disease were excluded by electromyography and laboratory examination, inflammatory demyelinating disease was excluded by cerebrospinal fluid examination in one case. The syndromes, in combination with a continuous strip of abnormal signal revealed by magnetic resonance imaging which was consistent with the pyramidal tract and connected with the primary lesion suggested wallerian degeneration of spinal cord secondary to pontine infarction. The clinical symptoms of two cases were gradually aggravated in follow-up. Conclusions:Spinal cord Wallerian degeneration is a sequel after pontine infarction, which is related to the prognosis of the disease. A full understanding of its clinical manifestations and imaging features can avoid clinical misdiagnosis as other diseases.
