Objective To investigate the effect of head-up tilt on cerebral blood flow velocity during general anesthesia in patients with diabetic neuropathy.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 40-60 yr weighing 52-70 kg undergoing general anesthesia were divided into 3 groups according to diseases complicated with diabetes situation ( n =20 each):group Ⅰ normal control the patients did not have diabetes mellitus; group Ⅱ type Ⅱ diabetics without neuropathy and group Ⅲ Ⅱ diabetics with neuropathy.Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2 mg/kg,fentanyl 3 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg and maintained with 1％ sevoflurane.The patients were intubated and mechanically ventilated.PErCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg.Transcranial doppler (TCD)was used to measure middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity (MBFV).MAP and MBFV were measured and recorded in supine position (baseline) and at 1.5,3.5 and 5.5 min of 45° head-up tilt.Results The 3 groups were comparable with respect to age,body weight,height and M/F sex ratio.MAP and MBFV significantly decreased at 45° head-up tilt as compared with the baseline in all the 3 groups.There was no significant difference in MAP and MBFV among the 3 groups.Conclusion Cerebral blood flow velocity decreases when the patients are tilted 45° head-up during general anesthesia in both diabetics with and without neuropathy,but there is no significant difference between the 2 groups.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) gene polymorphism and its serum levels with cerebral infarction, and further to explore its possible mechanism. MethodsEighty-four patients with cerebral infarction(cerebral infarction group) and 74 healthy controls(healthy control group) underwent the determination of ACE gene insertion/deletion polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and agarose gel electrophoresis(AGE). The serum levels of ACE were measured simultaneously. The difference in distribution of ACE gene polymorphism was compared between cerebral infarction group and ealthy control group. ResultsThe frequency of DD genotype in cerebral infarction group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group(50% vs 28% ,P<0.01); so was the frequency of D allele(64% vs 46% ,P<0.05). ACE gene polymorphism was associated with the serum level of ACE. A significant difference in serum ACE level was observed among three ACE genotypes. The highest serum ACE level or activity was in deletion homozygote(genotype DD), followed by heterzygote(genotype ID) and insertion homozygote(genotype Ⅱ)(P<0.01). ConclusionThe polyrnorphism of ACE gene and serum level of ACE are associated with cerebral infarction. The DD gene type of ACE and D allele may be the risk factor for cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the effect of S-phase kinase-associated protein 2 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (Skp2 ASODN) on the growth and proliferation of colorectal cancer cells SW480 and its mechanism .Methods The liposome-mediated dif-ferent concentrations of Skp2 ASODN was adopted to transfect SW480 cells ,the final concentrations of 0 .050 ,0 .125 ,0 .250 ,0 .500 , 1 .000 ,2 .000 ,4 .000 μmol/L were respectively set up with Skp2 nonsense oligodeoxynucleotides(NSODN) and blank group as con-trol .Then the inhibited effect of growth and proliferation of colorectal cancer cells were measured by the inverted microscope obser-vationandmethylthiazolyltetrazolium(MTT),thecellcyclewassurveyedbytheflowcytometry(FCM).TheexpressionofmRNA and protein of Skp2 and P27kip1 were inspected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and immunocytochem-istry methods .Results The inverted microscope observed that the SW480 cells had no change in form and grew at a slower speed . When the Skp2 ASODN concentration reached 0 .125 μmol/L ,the inhibition rate was 14 .48% (P<0 .05) .As the Skp2 ASODN concentration increase ,its inhibition action on the growth and proliferation of SW480 cells was enhanced in a dose-dependent man-ner(P<0 .01) .The SW480 cells were increased in G0/G1 phase(P<0 .01) and decreased in S phase(P<0 .05) ,the progression of cell cycle was blocked .RT-PCR and the immunocytochemistry showed that both Skp2 mRNA and protein levels were down-regula-ted(P<0 .05) .Although the P27kip1 mRNA level had no change(P>0 .05) ,but its protein expression was elevates obviously (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Skp2 ASODN can inhibit the growth and proliferation of SW480 cells .Its possible mechanism is that the ubiq-uitin degradation of the Skp2 to P27kip1 is decreased by the gene occlusion effect of Skp2 ASODN ,thus the cell cycle progression is arrested .

The islet secretion function in 42 clinically diagnosed diabetic ketosis and ketoacidosis pa- tients,aged 25～39 year-old,were studied.The results showed that the acute insulin responses to L-ARG (AIRarg) was significantly reduced in patients compared to control.As disease prolonged,AIRarg de- creased gradually.In the patients less than three months,the acute insulin responses to glucose(AIRglu) were markedly reduced,although the AIRarg were still sustained to some extent.The fasting blood insulin levels,in the patients more than three months were not different from controls,but C-peptide levels were significantly lower than those of controls.However,the C-peptide responses to L-ARG stimulation were not as evident as the insulin responses.The results suggested that impairment of the insulin secretion exist of in the early stage of DM,and exaggerated as the disease prolonged.Terapy of this type of diabetes mellitus de- pended mainly on insulin.

Small conductance Ca 2+ activated potassium channels ( SK channels) are potassium selective , voltage independent, and Ca 2+ high sensitivity. SK channels are widely distributed in neurons. SK underlie the slow afterhyperpolarization , which regulate the fire of neurons by spike frequency adaptation. Three mammalian SK channels (SK 1, SK 2, SK 3) have been cloned . Ca 2+ , CaM and neurotransimitters involve in the gating of these channels. The changes of these channels may result in memory, neuromuscular disorder and schizophrenia.
