Objective To evaluate the effect of pituitrin and nursing for patients with vasoplegic syndrome after cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods 38 patients with cardiopulmonary bypass after open heart operation were divided into two groups with 19 cases in each group according to odd-nunbered and even-numbered days, the PT group was given pituitrin treatment, the NE group was given norepinephrine treatment. Heart rate, MAP, urine volume were recorded at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours after drug therapy.Mechanical ventilation time, ICU stay time,hepatic and renal function and clinical symptom were compared between the two groups. Results MAP and urine volume increased significantly at 0.5 hour after pituitrin therapy. MAP increased from (55.33±4.10)mmHg to (67.34±4.13)mmHg. Urine volume increased from (0.08±0.02)ml·kg-1·h-1 to (1.84±1.21)ml·kg-1 ·h-1 MAP and urine volume also increased at other time points. In the NE group, MAP increased at 1h after treatment. Both MAP and urine volume increased at 2h and later after norepinephrine treatment. One death happened in the NE group. Compared with the NE group, the PT group was associated with lower ICU stay, mechanical ventilation time and 24h serum LAC.Liver and kidney function, myocardial infarction, nausea and vomiting, and other side effects were not different between the two groups. Conclusions Application of low-dosage pituitrin is rapid, efficient and safe treatment for patients with vasoplegic syndrome after open heart operation.

Objective To observe the effect of serum containing Dahuang Zhechong Pills on vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) expression in K562 cells of chronic myelogenous leukemia ( CML) and to develop new antiangiogenic drugs for CML treatment. Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) was used for the detection of serum VEGF content in 38 CML patients, 11 acute myelogenous leukemia patients and 9 healthy volunteers. SD rats were used for the preparation of serum containing Dahuang Zhechong Pills, and then ELISA was applied for the detection of VEGF content in K562 cells pretreated with serum containing Dahuang Zhechong Pills. Results Compared with the healthy volunteers, myelogenous leukemia patients at chronic phase and acute phase had high serum VEGF content ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) . Compared with blank serum control group, the secretion of VEGF in K562 cells pretreated with serum containing Dahuang Zhechong Pills was decreased obviously ( P<0.01) , and VEGF expression decreased with the increase of drug concentration. Conclusion VEGF content is increased in myelogenous leukemia patients at chronic phase and acute phase, which may be related to the pathogenesis, progress and prognosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Serum containing Dahuang Zhechong Pills can inhibit the expression of VEGF in chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells and decrease VEGF protein expression in concentration-dependent manner.

This study was intended to establish a method of purification of HPV16 L1 protein expressed in a prokaryotic system and to obtain the purified protein. The prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1-HPV16 L1 was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21 cell, and induced by 1 mM IPTG to express HPV16L1 protein. The inclusion bodies were isolated and solubilized with 8 M urea. After the urea was removed by gradual dialysis, the denatured L1 protein were renatured and then were purified by affinity chromatography. The results showed that HPV16L1 protein formed inclusion bodies in bacterial expression system, suggesting that this assay can be used to purify HPV16L1 protein and hence provide a basis for studying the applications of HPV16 L1 protein.
