Objective To reduce the hypokalemia caused by inner environment imbalance effectively in order to lower the death rate and improve the prognosis for patients with severe cranial injury.Methods Seventy-five patients with severe cranial injury who had hypokalemia were studied retrospoctively from October 10th,2003 to July 30th,2006.Results The waves of electrocardiogram and changes of illness condition was closely observed,the volume:of intake and output and kalium outcome was accurately recorded.Kalium was supplemented as early as possible.the amount was adjusted by the use of dehydratins agents and biochemical kalium.Only timely and effective monitoring and treatment could complications be reduced or prevented.Conclusions Severe cranial injury is one of the most severe trauma,timely monitoring and nursing measures are key point for rectification of hypokalemia for patients with severe cranial injury.

Objective To study the protective effect of nalmefene hydrochloride on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism.Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into model group,high dose of nalmefene group,low dose nalmefene group and sham operation group equally(n =10).The lung ischemia-reperfusion model was established by occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum.The intravenous injection of nalmefene (20,10 μg·kg-1) was applied at 10 minutes before occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum in the high dose of nalmefene group and the low dose of nalmefene group,respectively.The sham operation group without occlusion of the left pulmonary hilum was not given any treatment.At 2 h after reperfusion,all rats were detected arterial blood gas value and then sacrificed.The specimens from the upper lobe of the left lung tissue were preserved to observe pulmonary lesions,detect the ratio of wet / dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and interleukin(IL)-17.Results Compared with the model group,the value of PCO2,the degree of pulmonary lesions,the ratio of wet / dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and IL-17 in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),while the value of PO2 was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01) in the low dose of nalmefene group.Compared with the low dose of nalmefene group,thevalue of PCO2,the degree of pulmonary lesions,the ratio of wet/dry weight and the expressions of β-endorphin and IL-17 in lung tissue were significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01),while the value of PO2was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.01) in the high dose of nalmefene group.Conclusion Nalmefene hydrochloride may prevent lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in a dose dependent manner by reducing the production of β-endorphin and inhibiting the expression of IL-17 in lung tissue.

lschemic postconditioning(IPo)is a way that after long ischemia on liver graft,animals are given one or several brief reperfusion-ischemia before persistent reperfusion to improve the hepatic tolerance and relieve the ischemie reperfusion injury.It has been proved an effective and controlled method to attenuate the ischemic reperfusion injury.Protective mechanism of ischemic postconditioning on hepatic graft is related with protecting sinus hepaticus endotheliocyte and hepatic microcirculation,relieving hepatic cells injury and inflammatory reaction induced by oxygen free radicals,relieving calcium ovedoad in hepatic cells and mitochondria,regulating apoptosis genes,transforming ion channels condition in mitochondria.This article will makes a brief review on protective mechanism ofhepatic ischemic posteanditioning.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of carbamylated erythropoietin(CEPO)on cardiovascular microcirculation in rats with diabetes mellitus. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into blank control group,model group,CEPO low-dose,medi-um-dose and high-dose groups(500,1 000,2 000 u/kg)with 12 in each group. The rats in the last 4 groups were reduced diabetes mellitus model. All rats were given relevant medicine intragastrically twice a week,coronary microcirculation endothelial cells were separated after consecutive 4 weeks. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was conducted to detect levels of peripheral serum prosta-cyclin (PGI2),vasoconstrictor endothelin-1 (ET-1),angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) and von Willebrand factor (vWF) of rats in each group;in vitro CCK 8 test was used to detect endothelial cell activity(OD value);real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was adopted to detect proliferation-related genes(Ki67,p16),poptosis-related genes(Bad,Bax),and expressions of protein vas-cular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and AngⅠ. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,levels of PGI2,ET-1,AngⅡand vWF in serum in model group increased;OD value deceased;Ki67,p16,Bax and VEGF expression decreased;the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with model group,levels of PGI2,ET-1,AngⅡ and vWF in serum in CEPO low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups increased;OD value increased;Ki67,p16 and VEGF expression increased;expres-sions of Bad and Bax decreased;the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The others had no significant difference(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:CEPO maybe improve the coronary microcirculation function by upregulating VEGF expression in coro-nary microcirculation endothelial cells and promoting endothelial cells’regeneration.

Objective To investigate the role of Toll-like receptor4 (TLR4) activation in spinal cord in a rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by skin/muscle incision and retraction(SMIR).Methods Ninetysix male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups(n =24 each):group sham operation; group SMIR; group SMIR + IT scramble siRNA and group SMIR + IT TLR4siRNA.The rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by SMIR was established according to the method described by Flatters.The TLR4 siRNA were administered intrathecally for 7 days starting from 1 day beforc surgcry.Pain behavior was assessed by paw mechanical withdraw threshold (MWT) to Electronic von Frey Anesthesiometer stimulation at 1 day before and 1,3,7,12,and 22 days after operation.Four animals were sacrificed at each time point in each group for detection of the expression of TLR4 protein in the spinal cord by Western blot analysis.Results Compared to group sham group,MWT was significantly descreased at 3,7,12,and 22 days after operation,while the expression of TLR4 protein in the spinal cord were significantly increased at 3,7,12 days after operation in group SMIR and group SMIR + IT scramble siRNA ; IT TLR4siRNA significantly attenuated the hyperalgesia induced by SMIR and descreased the expression of TLR4 protein at 3,7,12 days after operation in group SMIR + IT TLR4siRNA.Conclusion TLR4 activation in spinal cord plays an important role in the development of SMIR-evoked persistent postoperative pain in rats.

The contents of cAMP and (14C)-AA metabolites in rabbit platelets were measured with RIA and radioactive TLC, respectively. PGE, could cooperate with the effect of CI-930. on platelets to increase the cAMP contents. It had no influence on the effect of CI-930 on metabolites of (14C)-AA, at the same time. SQ-22536 100?mol?L-1 could not chang the effect of CI-930 on platelets, which increase cAMP contents and affect AA metabolism. The date suggest that there is not relation between the effect of CI-930 on AA metabolism and on the cAMP contents in platelets.

Objective To determine the relationship between dietary fiber intake and risk of prostate cancer.Methods Electronic databases including PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane library,China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI),Wanfang and CBMwere searched to find eligible studies.Random-effects relative risk (RR)and its corresponding 95%CI were used.Besides,random-effects dose-response analyses were also performed to clarify the dose-response relations.Results Ten studies,including five cohort studies and five case-control studies,were eligible and included in this Meta-analysis.The pooled RR of prostate cancer for the highest compared with the lowest dietary fiber intake was 0.87 (95%CI:0.77-0.99,Z =2.10,P =0.035). In addition,pooled estimated data showed that risk of prostate cancer was significantly associated with soluble fiber (RR =0.78,95%CI:0.64-0.95,Z =2.45,P =0.014)and insoluble fiber (RR =0.65,95%CI:0.45-0.88,Z =2.79,P =0.005),but not with fruit,vegetable and cereal fiber intake.However,in dose-response analysis,no significant association was reported (RR =0.996,95%CI:0.989-1.002).Sensitivity analysis showed that the overall results were relatively stable,and omission of any single study had little effect on the combined results.Conclusion Dietary fiber intake is negative related to the risk of prostate cancer. Intake of dietary fiber is recommended to prevent prostate cancer.Considering the limitations of the included studies,more well-designed prospective studies will be needed to confirm our findings.
