ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Jiawei Glutinous decoction on gouty nephropathy. Methods54 patients with gouty nephropathy were randomized into two groups, 31 patients in the treated group were treated with Jiawei Glutinous decoction, and 23 patients in the control group were treated with allopurinol. Blood uricacid (BUA), renal function, β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and 24 h urine protein of patiens in two groups were measured before and after treatment.ResultsImprovements of symptoms and renal function as well as decreasing of BUA, β2-MG and 24h PRO in the treated group was superior to those in the control(P<0.05).ConclusionJiawei Glutinous decoction present good effect in treating gouty nephropathy.

ResultThe case undergoing Fortner Ⅱ surgery survived for 13 months.The 5 Fortner Ⅰ cases were followed-up for 5～34 months,with patent graft as identified by CT and ultrasonography and with no recurrence. ConclusionRegional pancreatectomy combined with resection of invaded blood vessel can be carried out in carefully selected patients of pancreatic cancer with favourable long term-result.

AIM　To prepare naftopidil bioadhesive sustained-release capsule and study their pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability in the dog. METHODS　Bioadhesive polymers such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulse (HPMC) and Carbopol 934 (CP 934) were used in capsule prescriptions. Naftopidil capsule and two formulations of bioadhesive sustained-release capsules (I and II) were given to five healthy male dogs in a cross-over test. The naftopidil concentrations in plasma were determined by a newly developed HPLC method and the pharmacokinetic parameters as well as the relative bioavailability were measured. RESULTS　The C0→∞, Cmax and Tmax of naftopidil capsule was (3728±573) h*ng*mL-1, (697±94) ng*mL-1 and (1.2±0.5) h. These parameters of bioadhesive sustained-release capsule I and II, respectively, were (5518±391) h*ng*mL-1 and (5636±427) h*ng*mL-1; (468±61) ng*mL-1 and (512±72) ng*mL-1; both (4.0±0.7) h. Results from statistics showed that there were significant difference between bioadhesive formulations and the non-bioadhesive one in C0→∞, Cmax and Tmax. The bioadhesive formulations and the non-bioadhesive one were not bioequivalent, the relative bioavailability of the two bioadhesive sustained-release capsules were respectively 150%±14% and 154%±23% when compared with the non-bioadhesive capsule. CONCLUSION　It is much improving bioavailability of naftopidil by using bioadhesion.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid autoantibodies (anti-TGAb and anti-TPOAb) in cord blood of infants of mothers complicated with hypothyroidism and the influencing factors of neonatal thyroid function. Methods Clinical data of 67 singleton pregnant women complicated with hypothyroidism in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Thyroid function and its autoantibody levels in maternal, cord blood and neonatal serum at 5-7 d after birth were compared. Umbilical TSH level and its affecting factors were also investigated. The results of TSH was expressed as median (25th-75th percentile). Results (1) Umbilical TSH levels were elevated in 9. 0% (6/67) of all infants born to mothers complicated with hypothyroidism. (2) No correlation was found in TSH levels between cord blood and venous blood in neonates 5-7 d after birth. Umbilical TSH levels were significantly higher in infants born vaginally than in those born abdominally [10. 20(6. 10-12. 80) mU/L vs 5. 86(4.02-7.74) mU/L,P=0.001]. Higher umbilical TSH levels were also detected in those complicated with fetal distress and preterm birth compared with those withoutere [fetal distress: (10. 36(6. 61-13. 37) mU/L and 6. 89(4. 18-9. 70) mU/L, P = 0. 046; preterm birth: 8. 90(7. 60-10. 33) mU/L and 6.84(4.17-9. 80) mU/L,P=0. 046,0. 049)]. (3) The anti-TGAb levels in cord blood were positively correlated with that in neonatal serum at 5-7 d after birth (r=0. 960, P = 0. 000), and the same was true for anti-TGPOAb levels (r= 0. 975, P = 0. 000). Maternal thyroid autoantibody levels (anti-TGAb and anti-TPOAb) had significant effect on umbilical antibody levels (P = 0. 003 and 0. 000, respectively), but not on the neonatal TSH levels (P>0. 05). Conclusions Umbilical TSH levels are affected by many delivery factors which may limit its prediction role on congenital hypothyroidism. However, there is an increased risk of elevated umbilical TSH, anti-TGAb and anti-TPOAb levels among these patients which may increase the risk of congenital hypothyroidism. Further follow up of these infants is warranted.

Objective To discuss the curative effect and clinical significance of sclerosing foam agent in the treatment of chronic venous diseases (CVD) with incompetent perforating veins.Methods 65 cases of C4,C5,C6 CVD (a total of 84 limbs) underwent foam sclerotherapy closure for incompetent perforating vein.Patients were followed-up for 3 months,ultrasonography was used to observe the closure of perforating veins and the curative effect.Results 7 patients (9 limbs) were lost to follow-up,all with grade C4.In the 66 (C4,C5) limbs,pigmentation significantly subsided in 45,partial regression in 9,no change in 2.In the 9 limbs with grade C6,complete healing of ulcer in 5,partially healed in 3.Ultrasound observed satisfactory perforating vein closure.Conclusion Foam sclerotherapy closure for incompetent perforating vein has satisfactory effect,with good short-term curative result.

Objective To investigate the effects of methamphetamine (Meth) on the outward K+ currents and elucidate the role of outward K+ channels in Meth induced hippocampal neuron damage.Methods Hippocampal neurons were harvest from 18-day-old embryonic rats and were divided into two groups:the control group and the Meth treated group.Both of 4-AP and TEA sensitive K+ currents were recorded after the treatment of Meth by performing the whole cell patch clamp.Furthermore,the MTT and TUNEL assays were performed to evaluate the effects of K+ channel on hippocampal neuron damage mediated by Meth.For statistical comparison,One-way ANOVA and LSD multiple comparison test or t-test was used.P-value ＜ 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results The density of 4-AP sensitive K+ channel currents in Meth treated group [(120.1 ± 19.6) pA/pF,n =7] were significantly increased when compared with control group [(87.4 ± 12.5) pA/pF,n =10,P ＜0.01] and the increments of the currents induced by Meth was dose dependent.The MTT data showed that the cell viability was obviously decreased in Meth treated group (48.72 ± 4.38) ％ relative to the control group (100.07 ± 3.36) ％.Moreover,application of K+ channel antagonist,4-AP (61.39 ± 3.15)％,and the high K+ solution (78.25 ± 9.42) ％ substantially enhanced the cell viability.The TUNEL assay showed there were protective effects of 4-AP and the high K+ solution against neuron damage observed during cells exposed to Meth.Conclusions The increments of 4-AP sensitive K+ channel currents induced by Meth might be involved in hippocampal neuron damage.

This study investigated the expression of hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) in rats with acute lung rejection and its implication. A valid rat orthotopic left lung transplantation model (SD rat-->Wistar rat) was established by using an improved three-cuff anastomosis technique. The rats were divided into control group, CoPP (HO-1 inducer)-treated group and ZnPP (HO-1 inhibitor)- treated group. The severity of acute rejection was graded on the basis of the morphologic changes of the lung samples stained with HE. The expression of HO-1 protein in lung tissue was detected by using immunohistochemistry and Western blot, and HO-1 mRNA activity was assayed by RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of HO-1 protein was significantly increased with the acute rejection grading in rats (P<0.01). As compared with control and ZnPP-treated groups, the severity of acute rejection was not alleviated and the grade not reduced significantly in CoPP-treated group (P>0.05). It was concluded that HO-1 protein might be involved in the pathological process of post-graft acute rejection. The expression of HO-1 protein was increased gradually with aggravation of acute rejection, and HO-1 protein might be used as an index to monitor acute rejection after lung transplantation.
