2.The regulatory effect of tissue plasminogen activator involved in central nervous insult
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(02):-
Tissue plasminogen activator(tPA) had been used clinically as a choice drug for the therapy of ischemic shock.Evidence in animal experiments suggests that tPA may play a neurotoxic role in central nervous system(CNS) via the induction of microglial activation,degradation of laminin matrix and enhancement of the N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor-mediated signaling in neurons,other reports imply tPA could protect rat neuronal cells from zinc-induced toxicity.

Objective The mechanism of delaying flap with the minimal invasive surgery was approached to understand its effects on the whole delayed survival of skin flaps thoroughly so as to provide the rationale for its clinical use.Methods 80 male or female Wistar rats were randomly subdivided into two groups:delayed by the minimal invasive surgery,and immediately transfer without delay.Flaps in each group delayed were cut at 1,2,3 and 4 weeks,respectively.The flap was designed at the lower back of rat,with the size of 5 cm × 1 cm,crossing the middle area for 2.5 cm and including stem of iliac branch from iliolumbar artery.2 weeks after second operation,the survival area,capillary density and content of lactic acid of the flaps in each group were examined,and the survival of the falps delayed by the minimal invasive surgery was compared.Results The longer delaying time,and the higher survival rate were observed in the experimental group.Delaying for 3 weeks and 4 weeks,the survival rate was (86.13 ±1.13) %,(93.49 ± 1.15) %,respectively,in the experimental group.While in control group,the survival rate was no more than 63%.The longer delaying time,the higher the capillary density were noted in two groups,but 3 weeks delayed group equally matched to the 4 weeks delayed group.In the experimental group,the content of lactic acid increased peaked in 1 week delayed group,then fell-down gradually,but kept steady in 3 and 4 weeks delayed group.The content of lactic acid in the control group kept steady.Conclusions The experimental model is selected as cross-area axial flap on the lower back of rats.The minimal invasive surgery plays the same role as in delaying flaps,which causes vasoconstriction,resulting in disorder of internal environment,ischemia and hypoxia,finally vasodilatation.The more ramus anastomosis,the more survival rate of the flap.

Calculation of cardiac hemodynamic parameters is based on accurate detection of feature points in impedance cardiogram. According to these parameters, doctors can determine heart conditions, so it is very important to accurately detect the feature point of impedance differential signals. This article presents a process in which we used wavelet threshold method to de-noise signals, and then detected the feature points after six layers wavelet decomposition by using bior3. 7. The experimental data were collected from healthy persons in our laboratory and twenty two clinical patients in Chongqing Daping Hospital by using KF_ICG instrument. The results indicated that this method could precisely detect feature points whether it was from healthy people or clinical patients. This helps to achieve the application of noninvasive detection cardiac hemodynamic parameters in clinical treatments by using impedance method.

Objective To investigate the effect of acteoside on injury PC12 cells induced by glutamate. Methods PC12 cells were assigned into normal control group, model control group, positive drug group and acteoside(AS) treated group. Every group was treated by 1. 5 mmol·L-1 glutamate for 24 hours except for the control group, and the injury was antagonized by 10 μmol·L-1 Vit E and acteoside at different concentration(15. 625, 31. 25, 62. 5, 125 and 250 μmol·L-1 ). Cell morphology was observed by inverted microscope, cell survival was determined with MTT, LDH activity was measured by enzyme label kit, the MDA content and SOD activity were measured by TBA kit and WST kit, and the ROS was measured by Elisa kit. Results Compared with the model control group, all doses of acteoside could significantly improve the PC12 cell morphology and survival (P<0. 05), inhibit LDH activity and production of MDA and ROS (P<0. 05), increase the activity of SOD (P<0. 05), except for the lowest dose group. Conclusion Acteoside has protective effects on PC12 cells injured by glutamate.

Objective To observe the effect of Wenxiao Decoction in treating the patients with carotid atherosclerostic (CAS) plaque and assess the safety. Methods Sixty patients with CAS plaque were randomly allocated to treatment group (33 cases) and control group (27 cases). The control group was given routine therapy, and the treatment group was given Wenxiao Decoction additionally. And they were further divided into half-year treatment group and half-year control group, 1-year treatment group and 1-year control group. Carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound and hepatorenal function were examined before and after treatment. Results Compared with the control groups after therapy, the average numbers of plaques, maximal plaque thickness, Crouse plaque integral were decreased both in 1-year and half-year treatment groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The plaque stability of 1-year treatment group was better than that of half-year treatment group. The average numbers of plaques, plaques size and Crouse plaque integral increased in control groups after routine therapy (P<0.05, P<0.01). Bilateral common carotid artery diameter, intima-medial thickness (IMT) and hepatorenal function had no statistical difference between before and after treatment both in treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Wenxiao Decoction is effective and safe in treatment of CAS plaque, and plaque stability is more obvious with the extension of treatment time.

Objective To explore the differences of the proliferation ability and the antineoplastic activity of CIK cells against origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells between healthy adults and tumor patients in vitro. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors and tumor patients were incubated to induce CIK cells in the presence of interferon gamroa(IFN-γ) ,IL-2 and anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). The changes in the proliferation activity and phenotypes of the CIK cells were identified by flow cytometric analysis. Single cell suspension was prepared bom the fresh hepatocellular carcinoma tissue by using mechanical trituration method. MTT assays were used to determine the cytotoxicity of CIK cells against origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells. Results The CIK cells from both healthy donors and tumor patients were significantly increased with the extension of time. The expression rate of CD3+/CD56+ cells from healthy donors rose from 1.053% ±0.22% on 1st day ,25.36% ±2.19% on the 7th day to 55.12% ±1.99% on the 14th day ,which was significantly higher than that of tumor patients ( P < 0.05). MTT assays showed that the cytotoxicity of CIK cells from both enhanced obviously with the addition of Effect/Target rate and extension of time(P <0.05). After the origenal hepatocellullar cancer cells were treated by CIK cells 24 hours, the cytotoxicity of CIK cells from healthy donors at the effector:target ratio of 10 ∶ 1,20 ∶1 and 40 ∶1 was significantly higher than that of tumor patients(P<0.05) ,respectively. After treated 48 hours, compared with tumor patients, the cytotoxicity of healthy donors? CIK at the three effector:target ratio was alsosignificantly higher(P <0.05), respectively. Conclusion CIK cells from both have amplification ability and cytotoxic activity in vitro,and the proliferation ability and killing activity of healthy adults CIK is stronger than that of tumor patients,which provides an experimental basis for CIK to clinical application as an adoptive immunotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of extracts ofLiaoxuan Kaxifu Powders (LE) on proliferation and transcription of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT induced by TNF-α; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods Cultured HaCaT was assigned into normal group, TNF-α group and low-, medium- and high-dose of LE group. Every group was induced by 40 ng/mL TNF-α except for normal group, and then LE groups were treated by different concentrations (8, 40, 200μg/mL) of LE for 48 h. The proliferation of HaCaT was evaluated by MTT and the apoptosis was detected by inverted fluorescence microscope. Levels of IL-8 and ICAM-1 in HaCaT were assessed by ELISA, and their mRNA expressions was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results Compared with normal group, the absorbency of HaCaT and the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 increased in TNF-α group (P<0.05,P<0.01); compared with TNF-α group, LE of all dose groups could significantly inhibit the absorbency, decrease the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1 (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion LE is able to inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT induced by TNF-α, and the mechanism is probably related to promoting apoptosis and down-regulating the gene expressions of IL-8 and ICAM-1, and then maintaining the normal level of HaCaT.
