Objective:To compare the level of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)before and after treat-ment between Uygur and Kazak nationality patients diagnosed as coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 191 Uygur nationality patients and 184 Kazak nationality patients,who received coronary angiography and were diagnosed as CHD first time, and received measurement of LDL-C concentration.They received CHD secondary preventive treatment for 8~12 months,LDL-C concentration was measured again after treatment,and it's com-pared and analyzed between two nationalities.Results:After treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of total cholesterol (TC)and LDL-C in Uygur and Kazak nationality CHD patients.Compared with Kazak nationality pa-tients,there were significant reductions in levels of LDL-C [(2.74±0.13)mmol/L vs.(2.21±0.17)mmol/L]in Uygur nationality CHD patients (t=3.141,P<0.01).Conclusion:Effect lowering in Uygur nationality patients with coronary heart disease ,especially low density lipoprotein cholesterol is better than that of Kazak nationality.

Objective To determine the involvement of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in the signal transduction pathway of cigarette smoke-induced airway mucous hypersecretion. Methods The well cultured BEAS-2B airway epithelial cells were incubated with different concentrations of cigarette smoke extract (CSE),also some cells were preincubated with MMP-9 inhibitorⅠbefore CSE or exogenous epidermal growth factor(EGF) was added. The mucin(MUC)5AC mRNA level was analyzed by RT-PCR,MMP-9 and the phosphorylated EGFR(p-EGFR) protein production was assayed by western blot,MUC5AC protein and EGF protein were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay respectively,and gelatin zymography was used to determine the activity of MMP-9. Results Incubation of BEAS-2B cells with CSE up-regulated MUC5AC gene expression and protein production in a dose dependent manner (P0.05). Conclusion CSE stimulates the activity of MMP-9 and MMP-9 protein,causing the shedding of the EGF and leading to EGFR activation. This activation of EGFR downstream signaling pathway increases MUC5AC gene expression and mucin production.

65 mm Hg and CVP between 10-14 cm H2O. In control group no AHHD was performed. Blood samples and urine specimens were obtained before anesthesia (T1), at the end of operation (T2 ) and 72 h after operation (T3 ) for determination of blood and urinary creatinine (BCr, UCr) , blood sodium (BNa) , urinary sodium (UNa), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) , urinary ?1-microglobulin (?1-MG), urinary albumin, urinary immuno-globulin G, creatinine clearance (CCr), and fractional sodium clearance (FENa) . Results BUN, urinary albumin, urinary immuno-globulin G, CCr and FENa were normal during the study in both groups. Urinary concentration of ?1-MG was significantly increased at T2 as compared with the baseline value before anesthesia (T, ) and declined at T3 but was still significantly higher than that at T1 . There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the parameters mentioned above. Conclusion AHHD with 6% HES (200/0.5) has no detrimental effects on renal function in patients with normal function.

The present study is to investigate the protective actions of guggulsterone against the cytotoxicity produced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in PC12 cells. It was evaluated by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide] reduction assay, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, and the release of nitric oxide (NO). ROS and Ca2+ in cells were evaluated by DCFH and Fura 2-AM, respectively. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by the retention of rhodamine 123 (Rh 123). Apoptosis and morphological alteration in PC12 cells were monitored with flow cytometry and electric microscope. Vitamin E, a potent antioxidant, was employed as a comparative agent. The results showed that preincubation of PC12 cells with guggulsterone (0.1-10 μmol·L-1) prevented cytotoxicity induced by H2O2. Extracellular accumulation of LDH, NO and intracellular accumulation of ROS, Ca2+ resulting from H2O2 were significantly reduced by guggulsterone. Incubation of cells with H2O2 caused a marked decrease in MMP, which was significantly inhibited by guggulsterone. The percentage of H2O2-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells was 24.3%, and decreased in the presence of guggulsterone (0.1-10 μmol·L-1) by .8.4%, 15 .9%, 11.8%, respectively. Guggulsterone exhibited comparable potency against oxidative stress induced by H2O2 in PC12 cells as that of vitamin E. The present findings showed that guggulsterone attenuated H2O2-induced cytotoxicity, extracellular accumulation of LDH and NO, intracellular accumulation of ROS and Ca2+, loss of MMP, and apoptosis, which may represent the cellular mechanisms for its neuroprotective action.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of Dexmedetomidine combined with Remifentanil on patients in lung cancer resection and its effect on immune function. METHODS:60 lung cancer patients in lung cancer resection were randomly divided into control group(30 cases)and observation group(30 cases).
