This study was aimed to observe the effect ofJia-Shen prescription (JSP) on angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) inhibition, ventricular remodeling in myocardial infarction (MI) rat model. The anterior descending coronary artery of Sprague-Dawley rat was ligated to establish the MI rat model. Rats were randomly divided into the 3 g JSP group, 6 g JSP group, losartan group, model group, and the sham-operation group. Intragastric administration of medication was given 24 h after MI. In the 3 g and 6 g JSP group, JSP was given at the dose of 3 g·kg-1·day-1 and 6 g·kg-1day-1, respectively. Losartan was given at the dose of 10 mg·kg-1·day-1 in the losartan group. Same volume of distilled water was given to the sham-operation and model group. Four weeks later, the left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), posterior wall thickness (PWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shorten (LVFS), left ventricular weight index (LVWI), the distribution and content of collagen, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the AngⅡ content in myocardial tissues homogenate were observed. The results showed that 4 weeks after MI, compared to the model group, 6 g PJP reduced myocardial infarct size, LVWI, LVEDD and LVESD, and enhanced LVEF and LVFS (P< 0.05). In ischemic regions, compared to the model group, JSP can obviously reduce the content of collagen (P < 0.05). This effect had dose-dependent relationship. Plasma BNP and AngⅡ content in myocardial tissues homogenate were also obviously lower than the model group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that JSP can improve the ventricular remodeling of MI rat model. Its action mechanism may be through the AngⅡ inhibition, in order to improve the early stage left ventricular morphological remodeling, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac contractile function.

Objective:To observe the effect of conversion from immediate-release tacrolimus (Tac) to extended-release Tac on kidney function in stable kidney transplant recipients.Methods:83 stable kidney transplant recipients who were converted from immediate-release Tac to extended-release Tac in the second people's hospital of Shanxi province from December 2011 to June 2019 were followed up for 12-36 months, and 83 stable kidney transplant recipients who continued to take immediate-release Tac were selected as control group.The changes of kidney function indexes, Tac trough concentration intra-patient variability (IPV) and compliance, the incidence of rejection and the survival rate of grafts and recipients were observed after the conversion from immediate-release Tac to extended-release Tac in stable kidney transplant recipients.Results:The conversion time from immediate-release Tac to extended-release Tac was (42.76±30.50)months after transplantation. At 24 months after conversion, the serum creatinine (SCr) was significantly lower than that before conversion ( P=0.013), and the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was significantly higher than that before conversion( P=0.005). In the experimental group , the SCr was significantly lower than that of the control group at 36 months after conversion ( P= 0.017), eGFR was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P=0.038). In the experimental group, the score of Immunosuppressant Therapy Barrier Scale (ITBS) was (20.23±2.89) before conversion and (17.63 ±3.08) after conversion ( P= 0.000). The daily dose of Tac was (2.09 ±0.84) mg before conversion and (2.10 ±0.83) mg after conversion. The trough concentration of Tac before conversion was (7.22 ±2.84) ng/mL, which reduced significantly after conversion. No rejection occurred after conversion, and the recipients/grafts survived healthily during the follow-up period. Conclusions:After conversion from immediate-release Tac to extended-release Tac in stable kidney transplant recipients, the kidney function is stable and better than that of before conversion, the compliance is significantly improved, the IPV of Tac trough concentration is significantly reduced, and long-term use of extended-release Tac has good clinical efficacy and safety.

The immune effect of two recombinant protein fragments of spike protein in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS CoV) was investigated in Balb/c mice. Two partial spike gene fragments S1 (322 1464 bp) and S2 (2170 2814 bp) of SARS coronavirus were amplified by RT-PCR, and cloned into pET-23a prokaryotic expression vector, then transformed into competent Escherichia E. coli BL21 (DE3)(pLysS) respectively. Recombinant proteins were expressed and purified by Ni2+ immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography. The purified proteins mixed with complete Freund adjuvant were injected into Balb/c mice three times at a two-week interval. High titer antibody was detected in the serum of immunized Balb/c mice, and mice immunized with S1 protein produced high titer IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3, while those immunized with S2 protein produced high titer IgG1, IgG2a, but lower titer IgG2b and IgG3. Serum IFN-concentration was increased significantly but the concentrations of Il-2, IL-4 and IL-10 had no significant change. And a marked increase was observed in the number of spleen CD8+ T cells. The results showed that recombinant proteins of SARS coronavirus spike protein induced hormonal and cellular immune response in Balb/c mice.

Objective To investigate the effect of the pregnancy factor on the line drawn between the highest points of the two iliac crests ( T line) corresponding to the vertebral level in a multicenter clini?cal comparative study. Methods Hospitalized patients selected from the obstetric department or gynecolog?ical department, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠorⅡ, were divided into preg?nancy group ( group P ) and non?pregnancy group ( group NP ) . The patients were placed in the lateral posi?tion with their back vertical to the bed surface, the patient′s thighs were at an angle of approximately 90 de?grees to the trunk, and hip flexion was employed by flexing the patient′s knees to the chest. To determine the highest points of the two iliac crests, a line ( T line) was drawn between the highest points using a wire?reinforced epidural catheter. And another vertical line ( T′line) was made between the highest point of the iliac crest on the upper side ( not the side in the lateral position) and the ground. Ultrasonography was per?formed to identify and record the level of T line and T′line corresponding to the spinous process and lumbar interspace. Results A total of 1 763 cases completed the study, and there were 905 cases in group P, and 858 cases in group NP. Compared with group NP, the rate of T line at L3 spinous process and L3,4 in?terspace was significantly increased in group P ( P<0.05) . Compared with T′line, the rate of T line at L2,3 interspace and L3 spinous process was significantly decreased, and the rate of T line at L4 spinous process, L4,5 interspace and L5 spinous process was significantly increased in group P, and the rate of T line at L3 spinous process, L2,3 interspace and L3,4 interspace was significantly decreased, and the rate of T line at L4 spinous process and L4,5 interspace was significantly increased in group NP (P<0.01). Conclusion The level of T line corresponding to the vertebral level is significantly higher in the pregnant patients than in the nonpregnant patients.
