Objective To study plasma tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) level and its relationship with insulin resistance in familial type 2 DM. Methods Plasma TNF ? were determined by RIA in 32 familial type 2 DM patients, their 37 non diabetic first degree relatives and 40 healthy control subjects. Results Plasma TNF ? was significantly higher in familial type 2 DM patients[(1.19?0.21)?g/L] than in healthy control subjects[(1.00?0.18)?g/L]( P 0.05). Regression analysis indicated that TNF ? was inversely related to ISI and was a significantly independent contributor to variations in ISI. 39% of the variance in ISI was explained by TC, body mass index(BMI)and TNF ?. Conclusion The finding of an association between high plasma levels of TNF ? and insulin resistance suggests that TNF ? may be involved in the pathophysiology of insulin resistance in familial type 2 DM patients.

OBJECTIVE:To explore loading dose simvastatin on related indicators in PCI perioperative period of patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS:Data of 203 acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing emergency PCI were retro-spectively collected and divided into observation group (102 cases) and control group (101 cases) by different regimens. Control group received conventional treatment for 3 d before PCI,including orally taking Aspirin enteric-coated tablet 300 mg/d,qd + Sim-vastatin tablet 40 mg/d,qd,simvastatin 40 mg/d after surgery,qd,for 4 weeks. Observation group received Simvastatin tablet 80mg 2 h before PCI,the other treatment was the same with control group. Total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density li-poprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),IL-6,IL-10,TFN-α,plasma super-sensitive tropo-nin(TNT-HSST)level,creatine kinase isoenzyme(CKMB)level,high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)level and transami-nase level before and 24 h after treatment were observed and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. Meanwhile,the inci-dence of postoperative 30 d of MACE and CIN was followed-up. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in TG,TC, LDL-C,HDL-C before and after treatment(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no significant difference in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10, hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels in 2 groups (P>0.05);after treatment,TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than before(P<0.05),and TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP levels in observation group was significantly lower than control group,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than control group;IL-10 was significantly lower than before in 2 groups,and observation group was higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The MACE rate and CIN rate in observation were lower than control group with statistical significance(P<0.05). And no obvious adverse reaction was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Loading dose simvastatin in PCI perioperative period can significantly reduce patients' PCI, TNF-α,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels and the incidence of cardiovascular and renal adverse reactions.

BACKGROUND: Femoral head necrosis can be induced in adult rabbits when a large dose of steroid has been used for a long time. However, the pathogenesis of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis needs further study.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the mechanism of the disease by light microscope and transmission microscope from morphological perspective based on the model of femoral head necrosis in rabbits.DESIGN: A randomized controlled observation.SETTING: Laboratory of Morphology; Teaching and Research Division of Pathology; Laboratory of Surgery, Weifang Medical College.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Experimental Center of Morphology, Weifang Medical College, between March 2002 and March 2003. Totally 40 adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n=10), dexamethasone group (n=10) and horse serum group (n=20).METHODS: Control group was given intravenous injection of normal saline of 10 mL/(kg·d) for 7 consecutive days. Dexamethasone group was given intramuscular injection of dexamethasone of 10 mL/(kg ·d)for 7consecutive days. Horse serum group was given intravenous administration of horse serum of 10 mL/kg; 3 weeks later the same volume of horse serum was injected once again, followed intramuscular injection of dexamethasone of 10 mL/(kg·d)for 7 consecutive days. Inferior sections of cartilage of the femoral head necrosis in the experimental animals were obtained 5 and 10weeks later, and then histological and ultrastructural changes were observed under the light microscope and transmission microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Histo-morphological observation of the animals in each group. ② Ultrastructural changes.RESULTS: All the experimental animals survived and entered the result analysis. ① Histo-morphological observation: The cells of inferior sections of cartilage of the femoral head necrosis of the experimental animals in control group were arranged regularly and had a small volume of elliptical bone cells. The cell body was located at bone lacuna, blood vessel arranged well in the medullary cavity of bone. Lesion haracteristics of femoral head in dexamethasone group and horse serum group were similar:Hematopoietic adipose in the medullary cavity of bone was significantly decreased while fat adipose obviously increased; bone trabecula of metaphysis and the inferior sections of cartilage of femoral head were found with ered, and so was the bone nucleus. The number of lacuna of bone was increased. ② Ultrastructural changes: Normal bone cells in control group were elliptical, located at bone lacuna. Nucleus was at one end of the cell with complete karyotheca and many mitochondria in the cytoplasm. In dexamethasone group and horse serum group there were lipid droplets in the osteocytes, narrowed blood capillary in the medullary cavity of bone and injured vascular endothelial cells.CONCLUSION: Corticotropin can induce necrosis of femoral head; the hormone causes accumulated fat adipose in the medullary cavity of bone.The increased internal pressure in the medullary cavity leads to ischemia of femoral head, thus inducing the necrosis of osteocytes.

Objective To investigate the sedative and hypnotic interaction between remifentanil and propofol by target-controlled infusion (TCI) during induction of anesthesia.Methods Third-two ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱpatients,aged 22-63 yr,body mass index 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=8 each).Group Ⅰ only received TCI pmpofol.GroupⅡ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳreceived a target concentration of 2,4 or 6 ng/ml remifentanil respectively.While the blood-effect site concentrations of remifentanil were equilibrated,patients received TCI of propefol,with an initial target concentration of 0.5μg/ml.After the blood-effect site concentrations of propofol were equilibrated then with 0.5μg/ml increments until the loss consciousness was achieved.The eyelash reflex and state of consciousness were assessed and radial arterial blood sample 6 ml was taken every 3 min to determine the remifentanil and propofol concentrations in blood.Propofol and remifentanil concentrations in blood were measured by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection respectively.The sedative and hypnotic interaction between propofol and remifentanil was determined with a pharmacodynamie interaction model by regression analysis and determined using the isobolographic method.Results Propofol concentrations in blood were lower in group Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ than group Ⅰ(P<0.05).The propofol concentratopms in blood were significantly decreased in trun with the increase in the remifentanil concentrations in blood in group Ⅱ-Ⅳ(P<0.05).At loss of eyelash reflex and loss of consciousness of patients,the pharmacodynamic interaction model by curve fitting was superior to linear regression (P<0.05).At loss of eyelash reflex of patients,the curve fitting result showed EC50,prop=2.77μg/ml and EC50,rem=26.67 ng/ml,and the isobolographic method equation is ECprop/2.77+ECrem/26.67=0.69.At loss of consciousness of patients,the curve fitting result showed EC50,prop==3.76μg/ml and EC50,rem=31.56ng/ml,and the isobolographic method equation is Ecprop/3.76+Ecrem/31.56=0.65.Conclusion Remifentanil (Cp 2-6 ng/ml) and propofol by TCI shows a synergistic type of pharmacodynamic interaction on the sedative and hypnotic during induction of anesthesia.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value and efficacy of transcatheter preoperative superselective arterial embolization in sacral or ilium tumors.Methods The procedures of superselective arterial embolization with gelfoam were performed in 15 cases. The lesions included giant cell tumor of bone (n = 5) , aneurysmal bone cyst (n = 2) ,chordoma (n = 2) , metastatic tumor (n = 4)and chondrosarcoma (n = 3) . The operations of resection were done 1 to 5 days after superselective arterial embolization.Results Angiograms showed marked reduction (80% or more) of the tumor's staining after embolization. In this series ,the average blood loss was 1100 ml ,during operations(aranged from 500 ml to 2600 ml),and all tumors were completely resected.Conclusion Preoperative transcatheter selective arterial embolization is an effective and safe method in reducing blood loss during operations and improving therapeutic effect for sacroiliac tumors.

Objective:To further explore the relationship between Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction and the mechanism of the viral hepatitis B through the research of soluble intercellular adhesion molecular-1(sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecular-1(sVCAM-1) levels in serum in patients with viral hepatitis B related to Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction and the damage of liver cells, and therefore, provide new theory for the perfection of the immunological mechanism of hepatitis B, especially acute hepatitis B.Methods:Serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels were measured in 45 patients with viral hepatitis B and 15 normal cases using double antibody sandwich ELISA method. ALT and AST levels were studied using omni automatic biochemistry analyzer and its correlation with sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 were observed.Results:The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 7 acute hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of the normal cases. ②The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 38 chronic hepatitis B were also significantly higher than that of the normal cases. ③The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 13 cases moderate chronic hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of 16 cases mild chronic hepatitis B. ④The sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels of 9 serious chronic hepatitis B were significantly higher than that of the group of mild chronic hepatitis B. ⑤Levels of sICAM-1 were significantly positively correlated with serum ALT and AST. ⑥sVACM-1 levels were significantly positively correlated with serum ALT and AST. In conclusion, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with acute hepatitis B were most remarkably increased, and then serious chronic hepatitis B, moderate chronic hepatitis B, light chronic hepatitis B in sequence.Conclusion:Serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with viral hepatitis B may reflect the damage of liver. ②Examination of serum sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with hepatitis B can be used to judge the patient’s condition and to diagnose. ③As an important indication of the inflammatory in Type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 may interfere the appearence of hepatitis B and the procedure of immunological damage of liver cells.
