Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of thrombolytic drug infusion via carotid artery on experimental central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO), and observe the changes of fibrinolytic activity in the systemic circulation. Methods To dissolve the thrombi in 15 cats (30 eyes) with CRAO established by laser irradiating a branch of central retinal artery after intravenous injection of photochemical drugs, urokinase (UK) was directly infused via carotid artery in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group A or intravenously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group B, and isotonic saline solution was intravenously injected in 5 cats (10 eyes) in group C respectively. The patency of the artery was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography. Moreover, the changes of fibrinolitic activity in the blood were observed by blood biochemical examination. Results Four hours after UK infusion, the complete repatency proportion was 80% (5 cats 8 eys) in group A, and 50% (4 cats 5 eyes) in group B. There was significant difference between the two groups. Besides, after the infusion, the indexes of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and anti-fibrinolysis in group A were better than those in group B and C (P

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for protein-energy wasting(PEW)in elderly patients undergoing hemodialysis(HD)and peritoneal dialysis(PD), in order to provide evidence for the prevention of PEW and improve the prognosis in these patients.Methods:According to the diagnostic criteria for PEW proposed by the International Society for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism, 112 elderly patients who had undergone PD and HD without PEW from May 2016 to June 2020 in the renal medicine department of the Eighth People's Hospital of Shanghai, the geriatric medicine department of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University and the renal medicine department of the Sixth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University were included as the non-PEW group.During the same period, 114 cases with PEW were recruited as the PEW group.Differences in general patient data, biochemical test values, anthropometric measurements, bioelectrical impedance and other index values were compared between the two groups.Independent risk factors for PEW in elderly HD and PD patients were analyzed by using binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:Compared with the non-PEW group, the PEW group had a higher mean age( t=0.951, P<0.001), a higher proportion of patients aged ≥65 years( χ2=17.161, P<0.001), a lower body mass index( t=6.740, P<0.001), a higher incidence of diabetic nephropathy( χ2=14.176, P<0.001), a higher hemodialysis rate( χ2=4.543, P=0.033), and a longer duration(months)of dialysis( t=2.306, P=0.023). Levels of serum transferrin, prealbumin, total protein, hemoglobin and total cholesterol and body cell mass index were lower( t=6.262, 13.405, 9.507, 8.341, 4.610, 5.599 and 2.499, all P<0.05), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels and the body water percentage were higher( t=6.380, 4.519, both P<0.001), and the upper arm muscle circumference was smaller( t=5.418, P=0.000)in the PEW group than in the non-PEW group.Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥65 years, dialysis duration, serum albumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were independent influencing factors for PEW in elderly HD patients( OR=2.762, 0.182, 2.694 and 2.980, P=0.023, 0.007, 0.009 and 0.027). Age ≥65 years, body mass index and the hemoglobin level were independent influencing factors for PEW in elderly PD patients( OR=2.452, 0.671 and 0.962, P=0.013, 0.000 and 0.000). Conclusions:The incidence of PEW is lower in elderly HD patients than in elderly PD patients.Clinical intervention should be carried out based on influencing factors, in order to prevent the occurrence of PEW.

To investigate the relationship between sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and metabolic syndrome in elderly males in Shanghai,all the subjects (≥ 60 years old,male) underwent measurements of weight,height,waist and hip circumferences,and blood pressures,serum levels of fasting plasma glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol were determined (Hitachi,7600),while the levels of serum insulin,total testosterone,and SHBG were determined by using chemiluminescence methods.Free testosterone was calculated by using the Vermeulen equation.Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the criteria of the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS 2004).The SHBG level in the metabolic syndrome group was significantly lower than that in non-metabolic syndrome group [(40.50 ± 26.16) nmol/L vs (47.80± 20.34) nmol/L,P<0.01].With increasing number of metabolic syndrome components,the level of SHBG became lowered progressively.The subjects were divided into four subgroups according to SHBG Quartiles.From Quartile 1 to Quartile 4,body mass index,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure,fasting plasma glucose,triglyceride,fasting insulin,homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),free testosterone,free androgen index,and free testosterone percentage became progressively lowered,while age and HDL-C became raised (P<0.05).SHBG was correlated significantly with age,body mass index,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure,fasting plasma glucose,HDL-C,and triglyceride.Age,HDL-C,and body mass index remained independently associated with SHBG in the multivariate regression analysis.In a logistic regression taking metabolic syndrome as the dependent variable,SHBG and HOMA-IR were included in the final model with statistical significance.Lowered SHBG is a risk factor of metabolic syndrome in elderly males.SHBG may be an independent predictor of metabolic syndrome,but the mechanism of how SHBG is involved in the metabolic syndrome needs to be further studied.

OBJECTIVEUsing the carbon tetrachloride liver cirrhosis rat model, the protective effect of the green tea extractive (GTE) on the liver cirrhosis was studied.
METHODSMale SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal group, GTE group and cirrhosis group. The GTE group and the cirrhosis group were injected subcutanuously 2 times/wk over 9 weeks with 40% CCl(4). In the second and the ninth week, the rats were sacrificed to measure MDA and hydroxyproline concentrations and TGF-beta(1) mRNA expression in liver tissue, as well as to conduct histological examination on various organs.
RESULTSCompared with the cirrhosis group, the MDA and the hydroxyproline concentrations in the GTE group were significantly reduced (P < 0.05). The liver necrosis and cirrhosis were extenuated in the GTE group by means of histologic examination. The expression of the TGF-beta(1) mRNA was reduced significantly in the GTE group.
CONCLUSIONDietary supplementation of GTE can protect against CCl(4)-induced liver damage and cirrhosis in rats.

Objective To assess the frequency of different subtype of spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) in Chinese Han population. Methods The nueleotide repeat mutations of SCA1, SCA2, SCA3/ MJD, SCA6, SCAT, SCA8, SCA10, SCA12, SCA17 and dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) were detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), Southern blot, recombinant DNA technology by T-vector cloning and direct sequencing technique in a cohort of 559 Mainland Chinese patients affected by spinocerebellar ataxia, including 363 families with autosomal dominant SCA (AD-SCA) and 196 sporadic cases. Results Among the 363 AD-SCA families, 15 families (4. 13%) were positive for SCA1, 26 (7. 16%) for SCA2, 187 (51.52%) for SCA3/MJD, 6 (1.65%) for SCA6, 7 (1.93%) for SCA7, 1 (0. 28%) for SCA12 and 1 (0. 28%) positive for SCA17; 120(33. 06%) were negative for all the tested SCAs. There were 2 (1.02%) SCAI, 3 (1.53%) SCA2, 15 (7. 65%) SCA3/MJD, 3 (1.53%) SCA6 and 173 (88.27%) not identified in the 196 sporadic SCA patients. None of the SCA8, SCA10 and DRPLA mutation was found. Conclusions SCA3/MJD is a substantially common subtype of AD-SCAs and sporadic SCA in Chinese Han patients with SCAs, subsequently followed by SCA2, SCA1, SCAT and SCA6; SCA12 and SCA17 are uncommon subtypes, while SCA8, SCA10, and DRPLA are rare, if not absent. SCA17 subtype was initially identified in mailand China. Some other genes might be causative in those unidentified AD-SCA pedigrees, and other etiological factors besides genetic cause might contribute for those sporadic cases.
