Experimental acute myocardial ischemia model of dog was established, and the postmortem stability of fibronectin for the diagnosis of mycardial infarction was studied with immunohistochemistry and image analysis technique. The results showed that the positive reaction areas of fibronectin in ischemic myocardial tissues decreased along with the prolongation of postmortem interval, but positive reaction of fibronectin could still be found in ischemic myocardia kept for 4 weeks postmortem. No positive reaction for fibronectin could be found in normal myocardia when kept for different times. So fibronectin is a quite stable marker for the postmortem diagnosis of myocardial infarction, and is of practical value in the forensic practice.

Experimental acute myocardial ischemia model of rat was established, and the changes of C5 complement in the ischemic myocardia were studied with immunohistochemistry and image analysis technique. The results showed that the positive reaction of C5 could be observed in ischemic myocardia at 15 min after ischemia, and the positive reaction area increased along with the prolongation of the ischemic period. It is concluded that the positive reaction of C5 in cardiomyocytes is a quite sensitive marker of early myocardial ischaemia.The immunohistochemical detection of C5 in cardiomyocytes will be a meaningful tool for the postmortem diagnosis of early myocardial ischaemia.

In order to explore the value of fibronectin (Fn) in the postmortem diagnosis of myocardial infarction.The changes of Fn staining in normal, infarcted and other non infarcted myocardial injuries resulted from myocarditis, mechanical asphyxia, electrocution, hemorrhagic shock, cardiac contusion and organophosphate poisoning were studied with immunohistochemistry and image analysis system. The results showed that positive Fn staining could only be observed in groups of myocardial infarction and myocarditis, but could not be found in groups of mechanical asphyxia, electrocution, hemorrhagic shock, cardiac contusion, organophosphate poisoning. It is indicated that positive reaction of Fn could be affected only by myocarditis, so it is quite specific for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction.

For the purpose of timing of wounds,the measurement of K~+/Na~+ ratio of 36specimens of wister rat's muscles taken from the local burn area by the atomicabsorption spcetrophometry was carried out.The results showed that K~+/Na~+ ratio in specimens of burn formed 15,30,60minutes before death and 20 minutes after death reduced 47~82%(mean 71%),56~89%(mean 77%),69~94%(mean 86%)and 4~38%(mean 27%)respectively ascompared with the control muscles.Reduction rate of K~+/Na~+ ratio in ante-mortem group was more obvious than the postmortem ones.With the prolongationof the antemortem interval,the reduction of K~+/Na~+ ratio becomes more marked.We believe that this method is a simple and reliable method in timing woundsand it is valuable in forensic medicine practice.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, especially the comprehensive improvement of blood glucose and lipid of probucol and metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. Methods:Totally 105 patients with type 2 di-abetes mellitus complicated with hyperlipidemia were randomly divided into the control group1 (35 cases), the control group 2 (34 ca-ses) and the observation group (36 cases). The control group 1 was treated with diet control, exercise and metformin, the control group 2 was treated with rosuvastatin calclum tablets based on the group 1, and the observation group was treated with probucol based on the group 1. The three groups were continuously treated for 12 weeks. The improvement of the fasting blood-glucose (FPG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (PBG), hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), fasting insulin levels (Fins), insulin resistance indices (HOMA-IR) and TC, TG and HDL-C, and the adverse reactions among the three groups were compared. Results:The total effective rate in the ob-servation group was higher than that in the control group 1 and 2 (P<0. 05). After the treatment, all the indices of blood glucose and lipid in the three groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05), and those of blood glucose in the observation were better than those in the control group 1 and 2(P<0. 05), those of blood lipid in the observation group and the control group 2 were better than those in the control group 1 (P<0. 05), and the level of HDL-C in the observation group was much higher than that in the control group 2 (P<0. 05). The adverse drug reactions in the three groups were mild without statistical significance (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Probucol as one of lipid-lowing drugs with antioxidant action combined with metformin can improve blood lipid and lower blood glucose at the same time, which is worthy of promoted application in clinics.

Objective To investigate the association of the polymorphism of the N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2 )gene with isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity and anti-tuberculous treatment efficacy in Chinese Han patients with tuberculosis(TB).Methods A total of 108 TB patients who received initial anti-TB treatment were followed up prospectively.A polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing approach was used to detect genetic polymorphisms of the NAT2 gene.Associations between NAT2 genotype and isoniazid-induced hepatitis/early treatment were analyzed.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results Among the 108 TB patients, intermediate-acetylators (IA ) was the most frequent NAT2 genotype with the proportion of 54.63%(59/108).The proportion of rapid-acetylators(RA)was 33.33%(36/108),slow-acetylators (SA)was 10.19%(11/108)and super-rapid acetylators was 1 .85 % (2/108). Among the 20 patients who developed drug-induced hepatitis,2 were RA,5 were SA and 13 were IA. Regarding NAT2 genotype,RA patients had a lower incidence of hepatotoxicity (OR =0.176,95 %CI :0.038-0.809,P =0.014)and SA patients were more likely to developed drug-induced hepatic injury (OR=4.556,95 %CI :1 .231 -16.854,P =0.044 ).Statistical analysis revealed that the frequency of variant diplotypes,NAT2*4/*6A (OR=7.741 ,95 %CI :2.653-22.586,P <0.01 )and NAT2 *6A/*6A (OR=15 .353,95 %CI :1 .506 -156.552,P =0.020)were significantly increased in TB patients with hepatotoxicity.NAT2 *4/*4 was less likely to developed hepatic injury (OR =0.176,95 %CI :0.038-0.809,P =0.014).Among the 58 culture-positive patients,12(31 .03%)were persistent culture positive after 2 months standard therapy.Early treatment failure was observed with significantly higher incidence rate in RA than other genotypes (OR = 7.200, 95 % CI :1 .794-28.900, P = 0.008). Conclusions In Chinese Han TB patients,IA is the most frequent NAT2 genotype.The SA status of NAT2 is a risk factor of isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity.The diplotype of NAT2 *6A has clearly high risk of isoniazid-induced hepatotoxicity.In contrast,NAT2 * 4/* 4 is protective diplotype.RA is associated with early treatment failure in culture-positive patients.
