Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2012;28(1):76-78
Seventy C57BL/6 mice were divided into control group,lard group,lard transferred into safflower oil group,and safflower oil group.After 20 weeks,the white adipose tissues were taken to analyse the gene differentiational expression prolife.The results showed that body weight,blood glucose and lipids,and insulin levels in lard group were higher than those in control group( all P<0.05 ),which were decreased after lard was transferred into safflower oil for 10 weeks( all P<0.05 ).Safflower oil regulated some of the orexigenic genes,anorectic genes,and the genes involved in energy expenditure in adipose tissues such as opioid receptor,glucagon,and PPARα.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy ofβ-lactam combined with macrolides antibiotics in treatment of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in children. Methods Children with severe CAP on admission between 2012 February and 2012 April were divided into treatment group and control group. With the same symptom specific supportive treat-ment, the patients in the treatment group were treated with both cefmetazole and azithromycin, while the patients in the control group were treated with cefmetazole alone. The total effective rate, number of days of symptoms and signs disappeared and num-ber of days of hospitalization were observed. Results The total effective rate was 87.8%in the trearment group and 61.3%in the control group with significant difference (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the recovery time of temperature, time of pulmonary rale disappearing and cough retraction were reduced (P<0.05). As well as the number of days of hospitalization was decreased (P<0.05). Conclusions The treatment of severe CAP in children with combination of azithromycin and cefmetazole results in better curative effect. A combined medication ofβ-lactam and macrolides antibiotics may be rational and effective.

BACKGROUND: Whether the differences exist between adipose-derived stem cells isolated from different parts of rats when cultured in vitro has been poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To compare the growth characteristics and adipogenic ability of adipose-derived stem cells isolated from different parts of rats. METHODS: Freshly isolated adipose-derived stem cells were obtained from 5 mL inguinal groove and greater omentum adipose tissue of F344 rats using type Ⅰ col agenase digestion method. Then, adipose-derived stem cells were counted and cultured in vitro. Morphological and growth characteristics of adipose-derived stem cells derived from the two sites were observed. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was utilized to examine the doubling time of adipose-derived stem cells from different parts. The passage 2 adipose-derived stem cells were induced adipogenical y. Fourteen days after being induced, the differentiated cells were stained with oil red O and the positive cells were counted. The adipogenic differentiation ability of adipose-derived stem cells from the different parts was assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The number of adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum fat tissue in the same group was (281±10)×107/L, which was significantly higher than that from the inguinal groove fat tissue [(85±10)×107/L] (P < 0.01). Adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum and inguinal groove fat tissue achieved the exponential growth period on days 5 and 6, respectively, and achieved the platform period on days 9 and 10, respectively. The corresponding doubling time was 50 hours and 60 hours, respectively. After being passaged, adipose-derived stem cells grew in fibroblast-like shape actively. The adipogenic differentiation rate of adipose-derived stem cells from the greater omentum fat tissue was higher than that from the inguinal groove fat tissue [(38.90±2.86)% vs. (35.30±3.29)%, P < 0.01]. This shows that the number and the adipogenic differentiation ability of adipose-derived stem cells from different parts of the same F344 rat are different.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes,establish the determination method of content and entrapment efficiency,and prepare it into lyophilized preparation to improve its stability. METHODS:Coenzyme Q10 long-cir-culating liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method. Particle size and Zeta potential of liposomes were determined,and HPLC assay was used to determine the content of coenzyme Q10. Free drugs and liposomes were separated using protamine aggre-gation method,and the encapsulation efficiency was calculated. Lyophilized preparation was prepared by coenzyme Q10 long-circu-lating liposomes,and the changes of content and encapsulation efficiency of drugs were determined 0,30 and 90 days after lyophi-lization. RESULTS:The liposomes were homogeneous in size with mean diameter of(166.0±5.3)nm and Zeta potential of(-22.2± 1.4)mV. Average content(the percentage of content accounted for labeled amount)and entrapment efficiency of 3 batches of sam-ple were 98.2%(RSD=2.8%) and 93.2%(RSD=4.6%),respectively. Compared with 0 d after lyophilization,coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes had no obvious change in the content and encapsulation efficiency 90 d after lyophilization. CONCLU-SIONS:Coenzyme Q10 long-circulating liposomes with high quality and entrapment efficiency and lyophilized preparation being stored stably for 90 d have been prepared successfully.

Objective To investigate the effect of isoflurane on the levels of protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) in hippocampus in rats. Methods Thirty-six 3-month-old male SD rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 12 each): group Ⅰ underwent the cognitive function test without being pretreated with isoflurane inhalation (group C); group Ⅱ and Ⅲ inhaled 1.2% isoflurane for 4 h and underwent the cognitive function test 2 days and 2 weeks later respectively (group Ⅰso1,Iso2). Morris water maze was used to assess the cognitive function and the escape latency was recorded. The animals were killed immediately after the test.The hippocampus was isolated for determination of the expression and activities of PKA and PKC.Results The escape latency was significantly longer in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ.The expression of PKA and PKC was significantly down-regulated and the activities of PKA and PKC were significantly decreased in group Ⅱand Ⅲ as compared with group Ⅰ . There was no significant difference in the expression and activities of PKA and PKC between group Ⅱ and Ⅲ . Conclusion Four hour 1.2% isoflurane inhalation can decrease cognitive function by inhibiting the levels of PKA and PKC in hippocampus.
