Objective To study the effects of allopurinol in different dose on the cardiac function of chronic heart failure rats induced by adrimycin. To explore dose-dependency of allopurinol in improving blood vessel endothe-lium function and cardiac ventricle remodeling of the rats heart, as to supply evidence and new sight in clinical treat-ment of congestive heart failure. Methods 40 Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (group A)、model control group (group B)、low-dose allopurinol group (group C)、high-dose allopurinol group (group D). The heart failure model was made by administering adriamycin to rats. After the model myocardial pathological changes were detected. Results Compared with the normal control group, the weight and heart weight of rats in model control group and allopurinol groups were obviously lessen (group A=(300.10± 9.85)g,group B=(200.67±9.91)g, group C=(233.14±9.42)g,group D=(248.25±13.34) g;group A= (828.30±50.97) nag, group B=(681.50±16.97) mg, group C=(743.00±17.20) nag, group D=(784.88± 36.83) mg,P<0.05). Heart weight indexes were all incerased ( group A=(2.76±0.15) mg/g, group B=(3.41± 0.17) mg/g, group C=(3.26±0.76) mg/g, group D=(3.11±0.65) mg/g, P<0.05). The hemedynamics resuh showed that myocardial contractile force were enhanced in drug groups. The level of NO, SOD were increased in the allopurinol groups compared with the model control group (group B: NO=(41.55±6.28) μmol/L, group C: NO= (52.47±5.59) μmoL/L,group D:NO=(61.04±4.26) μmoL/L; group B:SOD=(63.83±6.40) U/ml,group C: SOD=(76.29±7.99) U/ml, group D: SOD=(100.13±7.43) U/ml, P<0.05) and MDA levels were obviously decreased (group B: MDA=(9.70±1.08) μmol/L, group C: MDA=(6.64±0.34) μmol/L, group D: MDA= (5.72±0.71)p.moVL,P<0.05). The level of NO, SOD were obviously increased in the allopurinol of high-dose group compared with low-dose allopurinol group(P<0.05). MDA levels were obviously decreased(P<0.05). The myocardial pathological changes were relieved obviously in the allopufinol groups. Conclusion Allopurinol improves blood vessel endothelium function dose-dependently. High-dese allopurinol obviously decreases MDA, improve NO, SOD, thereby can improve the cardiac function of heart failure.

Copper is an essential trace element and plays an important role in the synthesis and function of many metabolic enzymes. However,it may be toxic when copper is overloaded. Numerous studies have been conducted on copper metabolism,especially the toxicity on liver;but systemic review is rare. This article is a systemic review on metabolism, mechanism of toxic effect,liver disease related to overloading of copper,and illustrates the effect of copper on liver ultra structure,oxidative stress,mitochondrial function,cell cycle and apoptosis.

Trace dements molybdenum was discovered in 1778.As a rare refractory metals,it is one of the essential trace elements for human body.Molybdenum is mainly distributed in the skeleton,absorbed in the digestive tract,and excreted by the kidney,bile,sweat,and hair.Molybdenum is involved in metabolism mainly through two ways:inorganic salts,and molybdenum-containing enzyme cofactor.An appropriate mount of molybdenum is important for life activities of the human body,whereas molybdenum deficiency and molybdenum accumulation may cause the multiple system dysfunction.Molybdenum imbalance can be prevented and treated by diet or supportive therapy.

AIM: To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of human umbilical vein (HUV)implantation and mitomycin C (MMC) in non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS). METHODS:A total of 32 patients (46 eyes) with uncontrolled primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were divided into two groups: HUV+MMC group (n=25), SKGEL+MMC group (n=21). The procedure commenced with the creation of a limbus based conjunctival flap. After the dissection of a superficial limbus based rectangular scleral flap, MMC(0.4mg/mL) was used superior and inferior surface of the superficial scleral flap for three minutes. A second limbus based scleral flap was carefully dissected beneath the previous one towards the choroid. Schlemm's canal was deroofed during the extension of the deep scleral flap toits limbal edges. HUV or SKGEL fixed on the bed of sclera in experimental group. Postoperative examinations were performed at 1 week,2,4 weeks;2,6,12 months. IOP,best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), functional blebs and success rate were examined. RESULTS: There were no statistically differences with postoperative IOP in HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05) during 1 week to 12 months. There was no difference with postoperative function blebs and the change of BCVA during 1 week to 12 months between HUV+MMC group and SKGEL+MMC group (P>0.05).At 12 months after surgery, the success rate was 84% in HUV+MMC group,86% in SKGEL+MMC group. CONCLUSION: The application of HUV in NPTS can prevent the adhesion of filtering channel and it can improve the success rate of NPTS. Compared with SKGEL, HUV has lower price. So it is a better implant.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the contents of citric acid in fentanyl citrate raw materials and its injection by ion chro-matography. METHODS:The determination was performed on Thermo Dionex IonPacTM AS11-HC column with mobile phase con-sisted of potassium hydroxide (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 35 ℃,and sample size was 20 μL. The detector was suppressed conductivity detector. RESULTS:The linear range of citric acid were 0.1157-74.05 μg/mL(r=0.9995). The limit of quantitation was 0.1150 μg/mL,and the limit of detection was 0.0400 μg/mL;RSDs of preci-sion,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%;the average recoveries were 99.6%-101.5%(RSD=0.68%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is environmentally-friendly and simple with good accuracy and precision,and suitable for the contents determination of citric acid in fentanyl citrate raw materials and injection.

The growth characteristics of hydrogen-production photosynthetic bacterial biofilm in a plate-type biofilm bioreactor were studied experimentally.The effect of hydraulic and nutritional conditions on the surface coverage,thickness,dry weight,and density of Rhodoseudomonas palustris biofilm was observed,respectively.Glucose in the influent concentration range from 0.05 to 10 g/L was used as the sole carbon source.Liquid flow rate was varied from 37.8 to 1080ml/h in the experiments.Experimental results showed that the hydraulic and nutritional conditions had significant influences on the growth rate and structure of biofilm.In a lower flow rate range,high liquid flow rate was propitious to the diffusion of substrate from liquid phase to solid-liquid interface,which resulted in the fast development of biofilm on the solid-liquid interface.However,some parts of biofilm were scraped off when the flow rate exceeded a threshold.At a fixed liquid flow rate,the biofilm density increased with the increase in the substrate concentration.The biofilm having thick and loose structure was developed under low substrate concentration condition.The biofilm structure was convenient for the nutrient transfer in the biofilm,which is a survival strategy of microorganisms facing adverse circumstances.

AIM:To compare one-site vs two-site phacotrabe-culectomy in chronic angle-closure glaucoma (CACG) coexisting with cataract.METHODS:This prospective, randomized study included 41 eyes with CACG. One-site approach was performed in 21 eyes and two-site procedure in 20 eyes. Intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the number of antiglaucoma medications and complications were observed. All patients were followed up for 9 months.RESULTS:There were no significant differences between the two groups preoperatively. IOP decreased from 22.7±4.9mmHg and 23.7±4.7mmHg preoperatively in one-and two-site groups to 18.0±1.2mmHg and 16.7±1.1mmHg 9 months after operation respectively(P<0.05). There were no significant differences in mean IOP between the two groups at any time (P>0.05). Decrease of the number of antiglaucoma medications and BCVA improvement were similar in both groups 9 months after surgery (P>0.05).There were no significant differences in complications between the two surgical procedures.CONCLUSION:There were no significant differences between the two groups in clinical efficacy and complications.
