Objective To investigate the effect of butylphthalide (NBP) on H2S content and the expression of NR2B in the hippocampus of alcohol dependence rats. Methods A total of 84 SD male rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. Except for the normal group, other groups were subjected to alcohol solution with concentration of 6% ( V/V) for 28 d. Drug intervention began at the 14th day,and rats in the low,medium,high dose group were treated with NBP with a different concentration. Erden abstinence scoring was used to evaluate the rats withdrawal symptom. H2S content was measured in one side of hippocampus and CBS activity was tested in the other side of hippocampus. Hippocampus of 3 rats from each group was used to investigate NR2B mRNA level. Results Withdrawal symptom score ( 12.27 ± 1. 19),H2S content(30. 25 ±8.82), CBS activity (72. 44 ±7. 46) and NR2B mRNA expression( 19. 47 ±0. 86) in medium dose NBP group rats were lower than withdrawal symptom score(14.09 ±2.21) ,H2S content(44. 50 ±6. 65) , CBS activity(79. 06 ±4. 57) and NR2B mRNA expression (29. 13 ±1.39) in experimental control group (P<0.05). Withdrawal symptom score(12. 18 ±1.08) ,H2S content(33.00 ±5.38) ,CBS activity(67. 81 ±9. 37) and NR2B mRNA expression(23. 12 ± 1. 86) in high dose NBP group rats were lower than experimental control group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion NBP can reduce withdrawal symptoms of alcohol dependence rats,may be related to decreased expression of H2S/CBS system, and NR2B mRNA expression.

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ activity in children with primary nephrotic syndrome.Methods 94 children with primary nephrotic syndrome were se-lected as the observation group,and 63 healthy children were selected as the control group.The blood samples of peripheral blood were collected from the study group,and plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ.The changes of plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ in the two groups were compared,and the changes of plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ in the acute and re-covery phase,and the correlation between plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ were observed.Results The observation group of plasma protein Z level is lower than the control group,blood coagulation factor Ⅷlevels higher than the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);plasma protein Z level in acute stage is lower than the recovery period,and coagulation factor Ⅷ level is higher than the recov-ery period,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷwas negatively correlated.Conclusion The plasma protein Z level in children with primary nephrotic syn-drome is significantly reduced,and the activity of coagulation factor Ⅷ is significantly increased.Detection of plasma protein Z and coagulation factor Ⅷ level can predict primary nephrotic syndrome in children.
