Objective To observe the effect of saccharomyces boulardii combined with chiropractics in asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance. Methods One hundred and twenty asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance were allocated into observation group (68 patients) and control group (52 patients) by random digits table. The newborn in control group accepted trace feeding and parenteral nutrition treatment, and the newborn in observation group accepted additional oral saccharomyces boulardii and chiropractic therapy on the base of control group. The time of reaching to full enteral feeding, the time of restoring to birth weight, the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia and the total efficiency of treatment were observed. Results The time of reaching to full enteral feeding, the time of restoring to birth weight in either mild asphyxial newborn or severe asphxial newborn in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01 or<0.05). The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in mild asphyxial newborn or severe asphxial newborn in observation group was 16.7%(8/48) and 5/20, in control group was 36.8%(14/38) and 9/14, and there were significant differences (P<0.05). The total efficiency of treatment in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group:91.2%(62/68) vs. 69.2%(36/52), P<0.05. Conclusions Saccharomyces boulardii combined with chiropractics in asphyxial newborn with feeding intolerance can reduce the time of reaching to full enteral feeding and the time of restoring to birth weight. It can decrease the incidence of hyperbilirubinemia, and the treatment effect is obvious.

Objective To explore the effects and mechanisms of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) on high glucose-induced rat mesangial cells proliferation and phenotype transformation. Methods Rat mesangial cells were cultured and incubated in media containing either 5 mmol/L D-glucose or 30 mmol/L D-glucose with or without addition of wortmannin, or uPA (105 U/L) for different time periods. At the end of the incubation period, mesangial cells proliferation was assessed by MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis. Cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and p27kip1 expression and activation of Akt were evaluated by Western blotting and Akt kinase assay respectively. Furthermore, the expression and distribution of α-SMA were detected with laser confocal microscopy. Results MTT assay and flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that high glucose induced mesangial cells proliferation (P<0.05) and an incresed proportion of cells in G2/M+S stage after 24 h incubation (P<0.01), which were attenuated by uPA or wortmannin (P<0.01). High glucose induced the enhance of Akt activity after 3 h (P<0.05), and the effect was inhibited by wortmannin or uPA (P<0.01). High glucose did not alter CDK2 expression (P>0.05),but significantly inhibited p27kip1 expression (P<0.05), which was attenuated by wortmannin or uPA (P<0.01). High glucose induced the up-regulation of α-SMA expression and perinucleus location in mesangial cells after 24 h (P<0.01), which were alleviated by wortmannin or uPA (P<0.01). Conclusion uPA up-regulates p27kip1 expression and counteracts high glucose-induced mesangial cells proliferation and phenotype transformation via blocking PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore a simple and effective method of local hypothermia, and to testify its neuroprotective effects . Methods:This experiment adopts twelve adult and healthy New Zealand rabbits as experimental animals. These rabbits were randomly assigned to two groups : ① MCAO (n=6),② MCAO and hypothermia (n=6). The middle cerebral artery (MCA) was exposed through the left orbital approach, and was clipped 2 hours by a 3 mm straight aneurysm clip to establish the MCAO model. We assign 2 cavities ventricle tube to puncture the frontal angle of the lateral ventricle, then 22℃ physiological brine was dropped into the lateral ventricle to reduce the brain temperature in MCAO and hypothermia group. Temperature thermister probes were inserted for measuring the brain and rectal temperatures. The neurological deficits and histological changes of brain tissue were evaluated in all experimental animals.Results: Brain temperature below cortex was descend to 35℃within 20 minutes after hypothermia in MCAO and hypothermia group while rectal temperature has maintained normal. The neurological deficits and histological changes of brain tissue of MCAO and hypothermia group were better than those in MCAO group. Conclusion: The local intra-ventricle hypothermia model is a reliable, cooling rapidly and useful method for selective brain cooling.

Objective: To explore the effects of continuous trickle of low temperature liquids through the lateral ventricle on neural cell apoptosis after rabbit local cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Methods:The middle cerebral artery (MCA) of New Zealand rabbit was clipped by micro aneurysm clip for 2 hours and reperfused for 24 hours. Immediately after clipping the MCA, we trickled the left lateral ventricle continuously with low temperature liquids(22℃) to decrease the brain temperature to mild hypothermia (33℃-35℃)and maintained for 2 hours. After reperfusion for 24 hours , we assessed TUNEL method to determine the apoptotic cell rate in the sham-operated group, the control group and the mild hypothermia group respectively. Results:The apoptotic cell rate of the cortex tissues accommodated by MCA in the mild hypothermia group was obviously lower than that in the control group(P0.05). Conclusion:Trickling ventricle with low temperature liquids could decrease the apoptotic cell rate and alleviate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Objective To evaluate the effect of ALD on podocyte apoptosis and the possible roles of Akt in ALD-induced apoptosis. Methods The cultured rat podocytes were incubated with increasing concentrations of ALD (10-9~10-5 mol/L) for variable time periods. Apoptosis was evaluated by cell nucleus staining and flow cytometry. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)and 11 Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11?-HSD2) mRNA in podocyte. Activation of Akt/PKB was evaluated by performing Akt kinase assay. Results ALD induced podocyte apoptosis in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The proapoptotic effect was attenuated by the presence of spironolactone (10-7mol/L). The expression of MR and 11P-HSD2 mRNA was demonstrated in the podocytes by RT-PCR. ALD also inhibited the activity of Akt in a dose-dependent manner, but the inhibitory effect was significantly ameliorated by the presence of spironolactone. The activity of Akt was negatively correlated with podocyte apoptosis. Conclusion ALD induces apoptosis in rat podocytes through the signaling mechanism by which Akt is inhibited.

Objective To investigate the effects of hedysarum polybotys saccharide (HPS) on lipid metabolism and the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1(SCD-1) gene in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To discuss the interfering effects of HPS on NAFLD. Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group and the experiment group. Rats in the experiment group were fed with lipid rich food for 8 weeks to establish model and were randomly divided into model group, drug positive group and HPS group. After 8 weeks of drug intervention, the level of ALT, AST, TC, TG, HDL-c and LDL-c were measured with automatic chemistry analyzer, and expression of SCD-1 gene was measured by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with blank control group, serum ALT, AST and TC, TG, LDL-c of model group were higher (P<0.05,P<0.01), the level of HDL-c of model group and the expression of SCD-1 gene were lower (P<0.01). Compared with model group, HPS was useful to decrease serum ALT, AST, LDL-c, TC and TG (P<0.05,P<0.01), and increase the level of HDL-c (P<0.01) and the expression of SCD-1 gene (P<0.01).ConclusionHPS had a positive effect on regulating lipid metabolic disturbance of NAFLD rats and promoting the expression of regulatory gene SCD-1.
