Objective Dexmedetomidine is known to have a neuroprotective effect.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on ketamine-induced apoptosis of primarily cultured cortical neurons and its action mechanisms. Methods Rat cortical neurons were primarily cultured for 7 days and treated with ketamine (100μmol/L) and different concentrations of dexmedetomi-dine (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μmol/L) for 24 hours, followed by measurement of the viability of the neurons by MTT assay.The neurons were divided into four groups:vehicle control, ketamine ( trea-ted with 100 μmol/L ketamine), dexmedetomidine+ketamine (DD+K, treated with 0.1 μmol/L DD and 100 μmol/L ketamine), and LY294002 ( treated with 0.1 μmol/L DD, 100 μmol/L ketamine, and 10 μmol/L LY294002) .After 24 hours of treatment, the apoptosis rate of the neurons was determined by Hoechst33258 staining, and the expressions of pAkt and cleaved-caspase-3 in the neu-rons detected by Western blot. Results The apoptosis rate of neurons was dramatically increased in the LY294002 and ketamine groups in comparison with the vehicle control and DD+K groups ([36.8 ±4.4] and [43.4 ±4.5]%vs [7.5 ±1.1] and [16.4 ± 3.6]%, P<0.01), the pAkt level remarkably decreased (0.26 ±0.02 and 0.15 ±0.01 vs 0.61 ±0.05 and 0.50 ±0.04, P<0.01), and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 significantly upregulated in the former two as compared with the latter two groups (0.40 ±0.02 and 0.65 ±0.03 vs 0.10 ±0.02 and 0.12 ±0.01, P<0.01). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine exerts a neuroprotec-tive effect against ketamine-induced apoptosis of neurons by activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To realize and analyze the current status of medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia in special clinic for elderly in China.Methods The informations were gathered from 34 clinics for elderly located in 11 Chinese cities from February 2008 to September 2008.First, all male patients who visited the clinic were inquired about their history of benign prostatic hyperplasia , and then 1000 benign prostatic hyperplasia patients who were receiving medical treatment were selected to finish a detailed questionnaire and to get several examinations for benign prostatic hyperplasia.Results Among the 1000 patients, 774 completely finished the questionnaire, patients with middle or severe international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and with high volume of prostate occupied a large proportion.Medical treatments included the combined therapy of α-blockers plus 5α reductase inhibitors (45.48 %), α-blockers (36.30%), 5α reductase inhibitors (13.05 %) and other medicines (including phytotherapeutic agents and traditional medicines, 5.17%).Conclusions Nowadays in China, as to the prescription for benign prostatic hyperplasia in the clinic for elderly presents, doctors only concentrate on the improvement of symptoms, whereas ignore the progression of the disease.There is still a considerable gap between real medical treatment and international guidelines.Therefore, improvements of medical treatment are still needed in the future clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the application value of creatinine correction method in estimating 24 h urinary iodine excretion of healthy adults.Methods:Healthy adults(half males and half females) aged 18 to 59 yesrs old in Tangshan City were selected as the research subjects. Random urine within 1 d, morning urine and 24 h urine samples of 5 d in a row of all subjects were collected to detect urinary iodine and creatinine concentrations. Twenty-four hours urinary iodine excretion was estimated by creatinine correction formula [24 h urinary iodine excretion estimated value(μg/d) = urinary iodine/creatinine concentration ratio (μg/g Cr) × 24 h urinary creatinine excretion (g Cr/d)]. The estimated value of 24 h urinary iodine excretion obtained from random urine within 1 d and continuous 5 d morning urine corrected by creatinine were studied by the coefficient of variation, and compared with the measured value of 24 h urinary iodine excretion.Results:The coefficient of variation of the estimated 24 h urinary iodine excretion of random urine within 1 d ranged from 8.8% - 20.2%, with an average value of 13.1%; the coefficient of variation of 24 h urinary iodine excretion estimated value from continuous 5 d morning urine and the 24 h urinary iodine excretion measured value ranged from 4.7% - 17.2% and 4.0% - 10.4%, and the average values were 10.1% and 6.4%, respectively. In the detection of random urine within 1 d, there was no significant difference between the 24 h urinary iodine excretion estimated value of the first, second, third, and forth time random urine and the 24 h urinary iodine excretion measured value ( P > 0.05). In the detection of continuous 5 d morning urine, there were no significant differences in the 24 h urinary iodine excretion estimated value of the first, second, third, forth and fifth day compared with the 24 h urinary iodine excretion measured value on the same day, respectively ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:When the daily creatinine excretion is accurately known, the estimated 24 h urine iodine excretion obtained by the creatinine correction method can better reflect the actual 24 h urinary iodine excretion. Further study on prediction criteria of creatinine excretion suitable for Chinese people will help to better detect the iodine intake of corresponding individuals.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of Trimetazidine(TMZ)on the ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI)of fatty liver in autotransplantation model. Methods Fatty liver model was established by feeding high fat diet. Male Wistar rats (n=30) were randomized into three groups;Sham group, TMZ group and Model group. Liver was autotransplanted in both TMZ group and Model group. Serum levels of ALT, SOD, MDA, Bcl-2 and activated Caspase-3 were assessed 6 hours after the operation. The pathological performances of liver were also determined. Results Compared with the Model group, serum levels of ALT,AST, MDA and SOD levels decreased significantly in the TMZ group(P<0.05). Serum level of Bcl-2 was higher while level of activated Caspase-3 was lower in TMZ group than those in Model group(P<0.05). Histo?logical assay and TUNEL staining showed reduced hepatocyte swelling and narrowed sinusoid as well as decreased hepatic apoptosis in TMZ group compared with Model group. Conclusion TMZ can reduce oxidative stress, promote the expression of Bcl-2 and inhibit the activation of Caspase-3, which all contribute to its protective effect on fatty liver with ischemia-re?perfusion injury.

Objective To observe the effects of dehydrocorydaline (DHC) on proliferation and collagen secretion of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) cultured by high glucose;To provide experimental evidence for clinical application of Rhizoma Corydalis. Methods CFs cultured in vitro with high glucose were made into models. Collagenase and trypsin were used for the combine digestion of CFs from ratsbornin 24 h. 2-4 generation CFs were cultured by high glucose (25 mmol/L), and then 100, 50, 25 mg/L dethydrocorydaline was added for intervention. Cellular morphology of CFs was observed after 24, 48 h. CFs proliferation was detected by MTT method. Cell cycle was assessed via flow cytometry. The levels of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ were determined by ELISA. Results CFs began to grow adherence 3 hours after planting, and CFs cultured by high glucose significantly proliferated 24, 48 h later (P<0.05, P<0.01). The percentage of S+G2+M phase CFs increased significantly after 48 h (P<0.01). The secretion of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ also increased significantly (P<0.01). After the intervention of DHC, CFs proliferation was significantly inhibited (P<0.01);the percentage of S+G2+M phase CFs decreased (P<0.01);the secretion of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ was reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion DHC can reduce CFs proliferation, decrease collagen secretion of CFs cultured by high glucose, and has potential effects of anti-myocardial fibrosis.

Purpose To discuss the clinical pathological features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pri-mary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( DLBCL) . Methods 7 cases of primary breast DLBCL were collected, their clinical path-ological characteristics and immunophenotypes were also observed, and the treatment and prognostic factors were discussed. Results All of the 7 patients were women, aged 28~75 years, with the median 51 years. 5 cases involved left breast, 2 cases were located in the right breast. Painless mammary mass and ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy were the commonest clinical manifestations. On mi-croscopic observation, tumor cells were large to medium-sized which characterized as diffuse infiltration between the lobules of mamma-ry gland, around the duct, interstitial and fat tissue, some were single file cord pattern. 1 case was ALK-1 positive DLBCL, 6 cases were DLBCL of the non special type. The immunophenotype showed 5 cases were of non-GCB, 2 cases were of GCB type. Ki-67 index were from 60% to 95%. According to Ann Arbor staging, 2 cases were stage I EA, 5 cases were stage II EA. IPI score:4 cases with 0 score, 3 cases with 1 score. Of 7 patients, one case was modified radical mastectomy, 4 cases were lumpectomy, 2 cases were diag-nosed by core needle biopsy. 2 patients died without chemotherapy, 5 patients were chemotherapy or radiotherapy for 4 to 6 cycles ( CHOP/R-CHOP) , 4 patients received complete response, one died. Patients were followed up from 1 to 114 months, the median fol-low-up time was 18 months. The 1 year OS rate was 57. 1%, 5 years OS rate was 14. 3%. Conclusion The diagnosis of primary breast DLBCL is confirmed by pathological biopsy and immunohistochemical markers. The immunophenotype was mainly non-GCB type. Comprehensive treatment including chemotherapy and radiotherapy is appropriate. The prognosis should be comprehensively eval-uated by multiple factors.
