AIM To establish the method for the enzyme assay of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) in rabbit kidney and to determine the optimal condition for the assaying. METHODS Five healthy Japanese rabbits weighing 3 0 to 3 5 Kg were killed by air embolism,kidneys were harvested and then were homogenized. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) was used as the substrate for DDAH. UV 265 spectrophotometer was applied to determine the amount of the enzymatic product L Citrulline( L Cit).The amount of L Cit produced under different conditions was compared and the optimal condition was screened. The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were calculated. RESULTS The kinetic parameters of ADMA degraded by DDAH were as follows: K m=(0 28?0 10) mmol?L -1 , V m=(1 36?0 42) mmol?L -1 ?g -1 ?min -1 . The optimal conditions for the enzyme assay of DDAH in rabbit kidney determined in this study follow: The concentration of the enzyme protein was 12 g?L -1 ,the optimal pH of the buffer was 7 4,the final concentration of ADMA was 2 mmol?L -1 ,and the reaction time was 30 min. CONCLUSION The method offered here is easily done. The concentration of the substrate determined in this study was based on the value of Km,thus it was beneficial to the accurate assay of DDAH.

Objective To assessed the image quality and diagnostic value of the coronary artery diseases with 64-slice spiral computed tomography (64-SCT) angiography. Methods A retrospective image analysis of 39 patients who were diagnosed with coronary heart disease by both the 64-SCT and the invasive coronary angiography (CAG). Results In 507 coronary artery segments (13 coronary segments for each patient),1-,2-,3-class image quality by 64-SCT were in 185 (36.5%),236 (46.5%),86 (16.9%) segments respectively,and the heart rate range was respectively 62?5,66?4 and 75?10 per minute. Totally 421/507 (83.1%) segments that were of 1-,2-class image quality,met the requirements of clinical diagnosis,whereas 86/507 (16.9%) segments could not be sufficiently evaluated because of severe calcifications (51/86,59.3%) and/or motion artifacts (35/86,40.7%). Taking CAG as the gold standard diagnostic technique for coronary heart disease,of the lesions≥50% stenosis by 64-SCT (without any exclusion criteria),the overall sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value were 89.8%,94.9%,93.3%,88.5%,95.5%,respectively. Conclusion Our results indicate high diagnostic accuracy of coronary artery disease by 64-SCT compared to CAG. 64-SCT is a simple,convenient,safe and reliable,non-invasive effective method for diagnosis of coronary heart disease.

ObjectiveTo seek experimental evidence of epidermal barrier dysfunction in psoriasis,and to provide a basis for adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.MethodsPhysiometric methods were used to determine the value of sebum content,transepidermal water loss(TEWL) and water content of stratum corneum in 60 patients with psoriasis and 48 normal human controls.The ultrastructure of lamellar bodies was observed with transmission electron microscopy,and the expression of acid ceramidase in normal skin and psoriatic lesions was detected by using immunohistochemical techniques.ResultsCompared with the normal skin,TEWL value was increased(P ＜ 0.01),but water content of stratum corneum decreased(P ＜ 0.01 ) in psoriatic lesions,and sebum content was similar between normal skin and psoriatic lesions.As electron microscopy showed,lamellar bodies in keratinocytes were reduced in number with a disorganized arrangement and irregular size in psoriatic lesions.The expression of acid ceramidase also decreased in psoriatic epidermis.Conclusions The function of epidermal barrier in psoriasis is impaired,and to restore epidermal barrier function and enhance hydration may serve as an important adjuvant therapy of psoriasis.

Sixty-eight patients with pneumoconiosis combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent large volume lavage in one lung under double cavity tracheal intubation and intravenousinhalant anesthesia. The vital signs of patients were recorded before, 10, 30min after and at the end of lavage. Results showed that the vital signs were stable during the lavage; and after the lavage all patients had relief significantly from the symptoms of dyspnea, polypnea and cough. Our results indicate that general anesthesia with bilateral lung ventilation are a safe and effective method in large volume whole lung lavage for treatment of pneumoconiosis patients combined with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
