Objective To observe the effect of interventional therapy of urokinase on sudden hearing loss.Methods65 patients with sudden hearing loss were divided into the treatment group (n=35) and control group (n=30). The patients of the treatment group were treated with urokinase pouring into vertebral artery accordingly into labyrinthine artery in order to improve internal ear microcirculation. Those of the control group were treated with routine drug dropping in vein. All patients of two groups were examined by pure tone test before and after treatment and the therapeutic effect of two groups was compared.ResultsIn the treatment group, the audition of 21 cases recovered, 12 cases got 15～30 dB increasing, 2 cases increased <15 dB. In the control group, the audition of 10 cases recovered, 4 cases got 15～30 dB increasing, 9 cases increased <15 dB and 7 cases had no obvious improvement. There was a significant difference between effects of two groups ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of urokinase on sudden hearing loss is superior to routine drug dropping in vein.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of sodium selenite on gentamicin-induced ototoxicity.MethodsTwenty guinea pigs were randomly divided into the experimental group and control group with 10 animals in each group. The animals were treated with i.m injection of gentamicin (200 mg/kg/d for 8 consecutive days, and at same time, the experimental group was added with p.o tablet of sodium selenite (1 mg/kg/d). Before and after the administration, hearing function was evaluated by examination for auditory brain stem responses (ABR). The cochlear outer haircells were observed by scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and transmission electronic microscope (TEM).ResultsABR threshold of the control group was about 30 dB above that of the experimental group (P<0.01). The latency of waveⅠof the control group was about 0.23 ms above that of the experimental group (P<0.01). Under SEM, the cilia of the majority outer hair cells of the control group lodged even disappeared, while that of the experimental remained regular. Under TEM, in outer hair cells of the control group, mitochondrial crests were obscure, out-membrane was damaged and local protruding, the number of secondary lysosomes was increased, myeloid bodies appeared, but in the experimental group, outer hair cells basically remained normal.ConclusionSodium selenite has antitoxic effect on guinea pig cochlea injury induced by gentamicin in vivo.

Objective:To investigate and summarize the procedures of direct-covedng pancreaticojejunostomy with remaining jejunal mucosa in pancreaticoduodenectomy and to analyze the incidence of pancreatic fistula and other postoperative complications.Methods:A total of 21 patients were treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy between May 2005 and June 2009.During the surgery,we dissected 3cm long remnant of the pancreas out of ambient tissues.Near the 2.0-3.0cm of the pancreatic remnant.we fixed partial posterior wall with the full-thickness jejunum without mucosa destroyed by interrupted suture,and then pushed the remnant into the jejunum and fixed the anterior wall.Finally,at the 1.0cm of the panceratic remnant,we binded the iejunum to surround the pancreas through 7-silk sutures.Results:One case was treated with secondary surgery due to bleeding of the pancreatic remnant.The other patients recovered smoothly without pancreatic fistula or other complications.Conclusion:Postoperative pancreatic fistula is related to the texture of pancreas,method of pancreaticojejunostomy,surgical skills and perioperative treatment.Compared with other types of pancreaticojejunostomy,direct-covering pancreaticojejunostomy with remaining jejunal mucosa is simpler.

Objective To investigate diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary retroperitoneal malignarnt tumor.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data with primary retroperitoneal tumor.Results Twenty-eight eases with benign tumor and 47 cases with malignant tumor underwent total resection,only 17cases with malignant tumor underwent local resection.Conclusion The diagnosis B-ultrasonography,CT and MR of primary retroperitoneal tumor is very important for preparative of preoperation and to estimate of involved organ.Involved organ resection and repeated operation for recurred tumor improve cure rate.

Objective To investigate the pancreaticoenterostomy technique using end to end anastomosis of remianing pancreas and jejunum with jejunum mucus preserved. Methods 28 cases underwent pancreatectomy were observed and analyzed from May 2005 to August 2009. There were 26 cases underwent duodenopancreatectomy and 2 cases underwent the pancreatectomy of pancreas body and tail. All cases used the end to end pancreaticoenterostomy, remnant pancreas was directly anastomosed with jejunum without destroy of jejunal mucosa. During the operation, 2.0 cm～2.5 cm long remnant of pancreas was pulled into jejunum without mucosa destroyed. Then, the cut end of the jejunum was fixed on the pancreatic remnant correspondingly by interrupted suture. Finally, a 7-silk suture was used to bind the jejunum and the pancreatic remnant together 1 cm away from the cut surface of the pancreatic remnant. Results 1 case underwent operated again due to bleeding of the pancreatic remnant. 28 patients recovered and discharged from hospital without having the complication of pancreatic fistula. Conclusions Because of the complicated suturation methods, the conventional pancreaticoenterostomy consumes more time. But it still has rather high incidence of pancreatic fistula.The new pancreaticoenterostomy which we used can shorten the operating time and integrity and binding stomas. It is effective to lower the incidence of pancreatic fistula.

Objective: To establish a high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method ( HPLC-MS/MS) method for the determination of PA-824 in the plasma of Beagle dogs, and study the pharmacokinetics of PA-824 in Beagle dogs. Methods:Carbamazepine was used as the internal standard, and the plasma samples were pretreated with ethyl acetate for the liquid-liquid extraction of PA-824. An Eclipse Plus C18 column (100 mm × 2. 1 mm, 3. 5 μm) was used with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-water (90 :10). The flow rate was 0. 6 ml·min-1 and the column temperature was 30 ℃. The injection volume was 5 μl and the sample analysis time was 5 min. The determination was performed with an electrospray ionization ( ESI) source in the positive multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The ion pairs were m/z 360. 1→m/z 175. 0 (collision energy of 35, solution cluster volt-age of 65) for PA-824 and m/z 237. 2→m/z 194. 0 (collision energy of 28, solution cluster voltage of 83) for carbamazepine. After the oral administration, PA-824 in plasma was measured at different time points, and then the pharmacokinetic parameters were calcu-lated by DAS 2. 0 software. Results: PA-824 showed a good linear relationship within the range of 50-10000 ng · ml-1 ( r =0. 9991). The recovery was 97. 7%-105. 1%, and the RSDs of intra-day and inter-day were less than 5. 0%. At three different dosa-ges (100, 200 and 500 mg) of PA-824, AUC0-twere (5735. 18 ± 1918. 76),(11548. 47 ± 1838. 04) and (21987. 88 ± 4587. 58) ng·min·ml-1,t1/2 were(14.17 ±5.97),(11.11 ±4.39) and (13.13 ±5.46)h,and Cmaxwere(626.66 ±188.48),(2399.13 ± 516.51) and (4861.33 ±2253.61)ng·ml-1, respectively. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate, rapid and reproducible, and suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of PA-824 in the plasma of Beagle dogs.

Objective To explore the effect of Flavokawain B on the proliferation and apoptosis of acute T lymphoblastic leukemia(T -ALL)cells and its preliminary mechanism.Methods After the T -ALL cell lines CEM-C7(sensitive to glucocorticoids)and MOLT -4(resistant to glucocorticoids)cells were treated with different concentrations of Flavokawain B,the influence of Flavokawain B on the growth rate and doubling time of CEM-C7 and MOLT -4 cells was observed by 3 -(4,5 -dimethylthiazol -2 -yl)-5 -(3 -carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2 -(4 -sulfophenyl)-2H -tetrazolium(MTS)assay,and apoptosis was analyzed by using flow cytometry.Furthermore,Wes-tern blot assay was used to detect the expressions of Bim,Bcl -2 and cleaved Caspase -9.At last,the expressions of Bim and Bcl -2 in clinical T -ALL patient samples were also detected by using Western blot assay.Results MTS as-say showed that Flavokawain B significantly inhibited the cellular proliferation of T -ALL cell lines in a dose and time dependent manner(P <0.01 ).Flow cytometry findings revealed that Flavokawain B significantly induced the apoptosis of T -ALL cells in a dose -dependent manner(P <0.001 ).Western blot results indicated that Flavokawain B in-creased the expression of Bim and cleaved Caspase -9,and decreased the expression of Bcl -2 in T -ALL cell lines, which increased Bim and decreased Bcl -2 in clinical T -ALL patients samples,both in a dose -dependent manner. Conclusions Flavokawain B can inhibit the proliferation and induce the apoptosis of T -ALL cells by up -regulating the expression of Bim and down -regulating the expression of Bcl -2 and activating Caspase -9,whether resistant to glu-cocorticoids or not.

Objective To examine the impact of adolescent obesity on circulating visfatin levels, and to analyze the relationship between visfatin and anthropometric indices, insulin sensitivity, and blood lipids in Chinese adolescents (11-18 years). Methods Serum visfatin, adiponectin and lepfin were measured by RIA in 76 nonobese and 72 obese adolescents, and their total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density hpoprotein cholesterol were analyzed with enzymatic methods. OGTT was performed according to the World Health Organization standard procedure in obese adolescents, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and early insulin secretion index (EISI) were calculated. Results The serum visfatin level was significantly higher in obese subjects than in non-obese subjects [(37.65±18.28 vs 29.35±12.10) μg/L, P<0.01]. There were no significant correlations between the serum visfatin concentration and the anthropometrie indices or the lipid parameters in the non-obese group. However, visfatin levels were negatively correlated with age, Tanner stage and EISI, and positively correlated with HDL-C in the obese adolescents. These relationships, except that for EISI and Tanner stage,remained significant (P<0.05) after adjustment for age, gender, and body mass index. Moreover, unlike adiponectin and leptin, visfatin concentration was not correlated with testosterone in non-obese and obese boys.Conclusion Visfatin levels decrease with age and may be related to the HDL-C metabohsm in Chinese obese adolescents.

Objective To observe the effect of berberine on glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and to investigate its mechanism. Methods The glucose consumption of the cells was determined by the glucose oxidase method. The glucose transportation rate of the cells was assayed by the uptake of 2-deoxy-〔 3H〕-D-glucose. Protein kinase B (Akt) activity was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot. The gene expression of c-Cbl-associated protein (CAP) was detected by Northern blot. Results 0.1～200 ?mol/L berberine significantly increased glucose consumption in 3T3-L1 adipocytes with a dose-dependent effect, which was independent of insulin. The glucose transportation was significantly increased in adipocytes incubated with 0.1～10 ?mol/L berberine; the action began at 2 h and reached a peak value at 12 h. The results of immunoprecipitation and Western blot showed that berberine did not enhance Akt activity. The result of Northern blot indicated that berberine significantly decreased CAP mRNA expression. Conclusion Adipocytes are the important target cells of berberine. Berberine significantly increases glucose transportation and consumption in adipocytes, the action appeares to be independent of insulin signal pathway.
