Objective To evaluate the effects of pretreatment with different doses of phosphocreatine on hepatic ischemia-repeffusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods.Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each):sham operation group (group S),hepatic I/R group (group I/R),and pretreatment with different doses of phosphocreatine groups (groups P1-3).Hepatic I/R was induced by 90 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the middle and left lobes of the liver followed by 4 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.Phosphocreatine 50,150 and 450 mg/kg were injected via the tail vein at 60 min before ischemia in groups P1-3,respectively.In groups S and I/R,the equal volume of normal saline was given instead.Blood samples were taken from the abdominal aorta at 4 h of reperfusion for determination of plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed and the livers were removed for determination of myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (by ELISA),intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression (by immunohistochemistry),and cell apoptosis (by TUNEL) and for microscopic examination (by electron microscopy).Results The MPO activity in liver tissues,plasma ALT and AST activities,TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations and the number of apoptotic cells were significantly higher in groups I/R and P1-3 than in group S,while lower in groups P1-3 than in group I/R (P ＜ 0.05).The parameters mentioned above were decreasedin turn in groups P1-3 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Phosphocreatine pretreatment can attenuate the hepatic I/R injury in rats in a dose-dependent manner and inhibition of the inflammatory responses is involved in the mechanism.

Objective Rhabdomyolysis (RM) is a common disorder resulting from a large variety of causes. Acute injury is one of the main reasons. The purpose is to describe the MRI manifestations of rhabdomyolysis caused by 5.12 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan province and to discuss their importance in diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysison in clinic practice. Methods Three patients with rhebdomyolysis caused by earthquake were studied via 1.5 T MRI. In all the patients, T, and T2 weighted sequences with and without fat suppression, and short time inversion recovery (STIR) of both lower extremities were obtained in axial, coronal and sagittal planes. All patients were given contrast material during imaging, and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) of both lower extremity vessels were performed. The MRI characteristics of damaged extremities in 3 cases were studied. Results MRI showed swelling of the affected muscles and subcutaneous fat tissue on both T1 and T2 weighted images. The margins of involved muscles were blurred. On T1 weighted images, swollen muscles showed equal or slightly decreased intensity with small patterns of increased intensity in some local areas. On T2 weighted and STIR sequences, the affected muscles showed inhomogeneons increased signal intensity with clearer margin. Slight fluid collection in spatium intermusculare was observed. Contrast-enhanced scanning showed nonhomologous intensification of damaged muscles, the enhancement inside the muscles was decreased when compared with normal muscles. The locations of all these abnormal intensity were correlated with the injury history and clinic physical examinations. MRA showed no lower extremity vessels were affected. Conclusion MRI has very high sensitivity in detecting the injury of muscles. It's very useful in evaluating the extent and severity of muscles affected in rhabdomyolysis caused by trauma. Also it's very valuable to evaluate the condition of blood vessels in involved extremity for predicting the prognosis of the disease. Therefore MRI possesses a very important role in the diagnosis and treatment of RM.

Vinflunine tartrate-loaded liposomes (VT-L) with two drug-to-lipid ratios were prepared by pH gradient method. Vesicle size and zeta potential were determined by the Zetasizer Nano ZS. Entrapment efficiency was evaluated by cation exchange resin centrifugalization method. The toxicity and tumor inhibition to nude mouse administrated by VT-L with different drug-to-lipid ratios were investigated and compared with the vinflunine tartrate injection (VT-I). The results showed that the mean particle size, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of the VT-L with drug-to-lipid ratios of 1 : 5 and 1 : 10 were 124.6 nm and 128.3 nm, -25.3 mV and -22.8 mV, 94.46% and 97.31%, respectively. The VT-L with two different drug-to-lipid ratios has significantly higher anti-tumor effect to nude mouse transplanted human non-small cell lung carcinoma A549 and lower toxicity than VT-I. While there were no significant differences in anti-tumor effect and toxicity between VT-L with two different drug-to-lipid ratios.
