Objective To illustrate the relationship between the temporary alteration of renal functions of rats with obstructive jaundice due to ischemia reperfusion injury(RI) and lipid peroxidation and the expression of heat shock protein 70 in rat kidney. Methods Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups of sham operation group(S group), sham operation and renal RI group(SRI group), common bile duct ligation group(J group), common bile duct ligation and renal RI group(JRI group). One week after bile duct ligation, rat bilateral renal arteries were transiently occluded for 10 minutes. The variations of renal function were observed at different time phases after renal reperfusion. Simultaneously, the expression of heat shock protein 70 in kidney was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Results In JRI group, endogenous creatinine clearance rate(Ccr) decreased progressively along with the prolongation of the duration of reperfusion. In J and JRI groups, the level of malondealdehyde(MDA) in renal tissue increased but superoxide dismutase(SOD) decreased. In JRI group, the expression of heat shock protein 70 reached its peak at the 4th hour after reperfusion and began to decrease at the 12 th hour and became lowest at the 24 th hour. No expression of HSP70 was found in other groups. Conclusion The sensitivity of rat kidneys with obstructive jaundice to ischemia reperfusion injury is significantly elevated. Ischemia reperfusion injury, as well as lipid oxidative stress, may be involved in acute renal failure(ARF) after obstructive jaundice surgery. The expression of heat shock protein 70 is a protective response to RI.

With the child behavioral questionnaire developed by Rutter,39 Chinesechildren(group 1-C),27 Japanese children(group 1-J)and 87 South Korean children(group1-S)were identfied as with behavioral problems,together with matched norman children of27 from China(group 2-C),30 from Japan(group 2-J)and 26 from South Korea(group 2-S)respectively,to engage in this EEG study.In a comparison between behavioral problemschildren and normal ones in each country no significant difference was found in EEG data.However,in the comparison among group 1s,group 2s and ADD-H children(group 3s:41from China as group 3-C,21 from Japan as group 3-J and,29 from South Korea as group3-S)diagnosed clinically with DSM-Ⅲ,significant difference among groups was found inEEG analyses in each country respectively.Some index of slow wave of group 3s'EEG weremuch higher than that of normal ones(group 2s).EEG data from group 3-C and gruop 3-Jshowed that the frequency-peak moved to slow frequency area.This indicates the develop-ment of ADD-H may associate with some functional abnormalities of nervious system.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) are a new recognized tumor entity. The incidence increases with time for the greater awareness of GISTs. Latest reports of the epidemiology of GISTs have been collected and sorted. Besides, it is still a controversy on the management of GISTs. While surgical en-bloc resection is the treatment of choice, imatinib is still optimal for patients with recurrent or metastatic GISTs. Preliminary promising effects have been showed on neo-adjuvant and post-operational adjuvant therapies. Imatinib-resistant GISTs become common and more targeted medication have been investigated and tested.

Objective To study the feasibility of transplanting autologous venous endothelial cells, as the liner, to the allogenic vein and to investigate the patency rate after such transplantation. Methods Autologous endothelial cells were gained after the administration of 0.2% collagenase and the centrifugalization of the enzyme liquid. The cells were not cultivated in a 60 ml plastic culture until the presence of the second generation. The cultivated cells were confirmed as endothelial cells by factor Ⅷ related antigen. The multiplied cells were lined in vitro onto the luminal surface of allogenic vein that was disposed by freeze-drying and radiation. The orthotopic transplantation of autologous venous endothelial cells was performed after the 9-day incubation. Results (9.47?0.35)?10~6 endothelial cells were obtained after the cultivation. Three hours after cell seeding, the luminal surface of allogenic vein was covered with vast endothelial cells but still had not formed an intact endomembrane. On day 9, the luminal surface was covered with a continuous endothelial monolayer and the arrangement and the shape of the cells all showed the perfect condition of endothelial cells. Eight weeks later, all the transplanted veins kept unobstructed. Conclusion The approach of lining allogenic vein with autologous endothelial cells in vitro may keep the vein unobstructed in the long term.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of the concentration of moxifloxacin in human serum.METHODS:The separation of sample was performed on Gemini C18 column with a fixed sample injection volume of 20?L.The mobile phase was methanol-water-triethylamine(112.5∶208.9∶0.06) at a flow rate of 1mL?min-1.The UV detective wavelength was set at 289nm;the column temperature was 25℃ and the sensitivity was 0.01AUFS.RESULTS:In the range of 0.312 5～10?g?mL-1(r=0.999 8),moxifloxacin showed a good linear relation in HPLC.The recoveries of moxifloxacin at three concentrations(10,2.5,0.625?g?mL-1) were 99.46%,103.12%,and 96.14%,respectively,with intra-day RSD at 3.27%,3.35%,0.92%,respectively and inter-day RSD at 7.19%,6.25%,6.68%,respectively.CONCLUSION:This method is simple,rapid,accurate and sensitive,and it can be used for the concentration determination and the pharmacokinetic study of moxifloxacin.

This study was to evaluate the risk factors of nocturnal hypoglycemia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes by continuous glucose monitoring system. Fifty-one type 2 diabetic patients aged 60 or above were enrolled and the episodes of nocturnal hypoglycemia were documented. The risk factors of nocturnal hypoglycemia were analyzed by logistic regression and the cut-off of glucose levels at bedtime for nocturnal hypoglycemia was evaluated. There were twenty-two patients with total 681 nocturnal hypoglycemic episodes. Logistic regression analysis showed that the lowest glucose level at bedtime was the risk factor of nocturnal hypoglycemia (OR=0.36, 95% CI:0.13-1.00, P<0.05), while the gender, age, diabetes duration, therapy regimen, the highest and average glucose levels at bedtime were not associated to nocturnal hypoglycemia. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) showed that the bedtime glucose at≤6.2 mmol/L was the best cut-off point for predicting nocturnal hypoglycemia.
