Objective To investigate the influence of remote care management on the diet compliance and disease recurrence of patients with pancreatitis. Methods Seventy-four simple pancreatitis patients in our hospital from January 2013 to March 2014 were involved and numbered according to the administration order and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the random number table with 37 cases in each group. The two groups accepted conventional health education during hospitalization time. The control group was given intensive classes after discharge, while the observation group received remote care management. Twelve months later, the rate of disease recurrence and diet compliance of the two groups were observed and compared. Results After the management, the observation group was superior to the control group in diet compliance. The rate of disease recurrence was significantly lower in the observation group than that of the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The remote care management can effectively improve the diet compliance of pancreatic patients, lower the recurrence rate, and have positive effect on prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the anticonvulsant effect of midazolam and diazepam when administered nasally on maximal electroshock seizure and metrazol seizure threshold test models .Methods Rats were randomly divided into 7 groups:model group, low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose of midazolam nasal spray groups , diazepam nasal spray in low-dose, middle-dose and high-dose of midazolam nasal spray groups .After the establishment of the maximal electroshock seizure( MES) and metrazol seizure threshold test models ( MST) in rats, the anticonvulsant effects of different doses of midazolam and the clinically used antiepileptic drug diazepam were evaluated and compared .HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the hippocampus , cortex and amygdala in rats .Results Significant anticonvulsant effects were observed on MES and MST in rats pretreated with different dosages of midazolam .In addition , the anticonvul-sant effects of midazolam were stronger than those of diazepam at the same dosage on MES and MST (P<0.05,P<0.01). Histopathological results showed that both midazolam and diazepam could effectively prevent the seizure -induced brain inju-ries, inhibit the increase of microglial cells and the inflammatory cell infiltration in the hippocampus, cortex and amygdala, and reduce the nucleus pycnosis and neuronophagia .Conclusion Midazolam has significantly anticonvulsant and neuropro-tective effects on different seizure models when administered nasally in rats .

Objective To study the influence of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizome (SMR) and Carthami Flos (CF) before and after compatibility on activitis of cytochrome P 1A2 (CYP1A2),cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1),and cytochrome P3A4 (CYP3A4) from rat liver microsomes.Methods Using caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam as the probe drugs ofCYP1A2,CYP2E1,and CYP3A4,the SD rats were randomized divided into four groups:control group,SMR (1.2 g crude drug/kg) group,CF (0.4 g crude drug/kg) group,and SMR (1.2 g crude drug/kg) + CF (0.4 g crude drug/kg) group.According to the above dose,rats were ig given drugs for 7 d.Rats were injected with caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam solution in tail vein 30 rain after the last administration,and the blood was collected at different time points.Metronidazole as internal standard,method has been established to determine the levels of caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam to evaluate the activities of CYP1A2,CYP2E1,and CYP3A4 by HPLC.Results Compared with control group,SMR increased the clearance rates (CL) of caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam,reduced the AUC,and t1/2 was also show a decreasing trend,but the difference was not significant.In CF group,CL of caffeine and chlorzoxazone was decreased,but the difference is not significant.CL of midazolam significantly decreased (P < 0.01).AUC of chlorzoxazone increased,but the difference was not significant.AUC of caffeine and midazolam increased significantly (P < 0.05 and 0.01).In SMR + CF group,the CL of caffeine and chlorzoxazone decreased significantly (P < 0.05),the AUC of caffeine and chlorzoxazone increased significantly (P < 0.05),and t1/2 also showed a decreasing trend,but the difference is not significant.Conclusion Compatibility of SMR and CF has an inhibitive effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 in rats,and it could be one of the mechanisms ofinteractive synergy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of butein on oxidative stress injury of PC12 cell and its effects on mitochondrial function. METHODS:Rats PC12 cells were divided into normal control group,model group,solvent control group(1 ‰ dimethyl sulfoxide),butein high,medium and low concentration groups(2,1,0.5 μmol/L). The latter 4 groups were given relevant reagent/medicine for intervention;24 h later,other groups were given 100 mU/mL glucose oxidase to induce oxidant stress model except for normal control group. After 4 h culture,cell survival rate,apoptosis rate,the levels or activities of ROS,MDA,SOD,CAT,GSH-Px,ATP,IL-1β and TNF-α as well as the change of MMP were detected. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,cell survival rate,the levels or activities of SOD,CAT,GSH-Px and ATP were all decreased significantly,and apoptotic rate,the content of ROS,the levels of MDA,IL-1β and TNF-α were all increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the MMP was decreased significantly. Compared with model group,above indexes of solvent control group had no significant change (P>0.05),cell survival rates,the levels or activities of SOD (except for medium and low concentration groups),CAT,GSH-Px(except for medium and low concentration groups),ATP(except for low concentration group)were increased significantly in butein high,medium and low concentration groups,while apoptotic rates,the content of ROS,the levels of MDA,IL-1 β and TNF-α were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the MMP were increased significantly. CONCLUSIONS:Butein can increase the antioxidant enzyme activity, stabilize mitochondrial function, inhibit oxidative stress and inflammationthus, increase energy generation inhibiting neuronal cell apoptosis ultimately exerting a neuroprotective effect.
