Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in mammalian plasma and involved in the metabolism and tissue homeostasis of some important substance under physiological and pathological situations.Function of glutamine should be based on its transport into or out of the functional cells via transporters located in cytomembrane.As the liver is the primary center of amino acids homeostasis in the body,it is helpful to learn structure and function of those transporters in hepatic plasma membrane to having a better understanding of the metabolism and function of glutamine.

Objective To characterize the relationship between diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN) and serum anti gangliosides antibody(GS). Methods Elderly patients were divided into three groups: patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) showing no DPN,DM group, 25; DPN group, 32; healthy control group, 30. The nerve conduction velocity was measured using Nicolet Viking type IV electromyography(USA). The anti GSIgM Ab and anti GSIgG Ab were examined by solid enzyme immunoassay, and interleukin 1?(IL 1?), IL 2,tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?), HbA 1C and NO were also measured. Results The positive rate of anti GSIgM Ab and anti GSIgG Ab in DPN group being 65.6% and 34.4% respectively, was obviously higher than those in N group and DM group(P

Objective To investigate the role of glutathione (GSH) synthesis in the regulation of Glutamine (Gin) on TNF-α release in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated alveolar epithelial type Ⅱ cells (AEC Ⅱ). Method Primary cultured AECⅡ were divided into six groups, including control, 10.0 mmol/L Gln, 1 μg/mL LPS and LPS+(0.5, 2.0 and 10.0 mmol/L) Gln. In another set of experiments, AECⅡ were divided into six groups including 1 μg/mL LPS, LPS+10.0 mmol/L Gln, LPS+100 μmol/L L-buthionine-(S, R)-sulfoximine (BSO), LPS+Gln+(1,10 and 100 μmol/L) BSO. Each group had three samples. BSO and Gln were added at 8 hours before LPS challenge. After 24 hours of LPS stimulation, cells were obtained for GSH measurement by 5, 5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) method. TNF-α level in the supematant was determined by enzyme-hnked immunesorbent assay (ELISA). ANOVA (LSD-t test) was used for statistical analysis. Results Supple-mentation of Gin increased the GSH level and attenuated TNF-α release in LPS-stimulated AEC Ⅱ in a dose-depen-dam manner. GSH level increased from (50.69±3.04) pmol/mg cell (LPS group) to (126.74±7.13) pmol/mg cell (LPS+10.0 mmol/L group) (P<0.01) and TNF-α level decreased from (1104.5±48.8) pg/mL (LPS group) to (329.67±48.27) pg/mL (LPS+10.0 mmol/L group) (P<0.01). BSO, an GSH synthesis blocker, at doses greater than 10 μmol/L reversed the effect of Gin significantly (P<0.01). Conclusions As a precursor ofGSH, glutsmine could attenuate TNT-α release in LPS-stimulated AECⅡ,and the with may be mediated via GSH synthesis.

Objective: To compare the effects of traditional and limited resuscitation on mediators of inflammation and the lung injury in a rat model of hemorrhagic shock. Methods: Seventy-two male Spra-gue-Dawley rats were challenged with hemorrhage followed by unresuscitation or resuscitation with 6 mL/kg blood withdrawl and lactated Ringer's solution of 45 mL/(kg · h) ,30 mL/(kg · h) or 15 mL/ (kg · h). Rats were sacrificed at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and 72 hrs, respectively. Blood was withdrowed for testing plasma levels of lactic acid and TNF-α. Lungs were harvested for observation of the ratio of wet/dry weight and histology. Results: The unresuscitation group were dead within 2 ～ 12 hrs, while the resuscitation groups were survival. The MAP of group 15 mL/(kg · h) increased slowly, but the MAP of 30 and 45 mL/(kg · h) groups increased rapidly. The plasma levels of TNF-α at 24 and 72 hrs and the lactic acid at 24 hrs in group 45 mL/(kg · h) were higher than that of group 15 and 30 mL/(kg · h) (P < 0. 05). The ratio of W/D weight of lungs at 48 and 72 hrs in group 15 mL/(kg · h) was lower than that of group 45 and 30 mL/(kg · h)(P<0.05). The lung injury was alleviated in pace with the time elapsing. The lung injury was more severe in group 45 mL/(kg · h) than the other two groups in 24, 48 and 72 hrs(P <0. 05). Conclusion: Limited fluid resuscitation could decrease the plasma levels of TNF-α and lactic acid,and attenuate the lung injury.

Objective According to the special changes of ECG in hyperkalemia animals, explore a method to reproduce a rabbits model for hyperkalemia. Methods Three programs were applied by intravenous drip of 3%KCl to reproduce the hyperkalemia model. In the first program,once the wide and deformed QRS complex occurred, the potassium drip should be stopped immediately. In the second program,the wide and deformed QRS complex was kept for 30 min by adjusting the speed of potassium infusion. In the third program, once low and flat P wave and peaked T wave appeared, immediately adjusted the speed of potassium infusion in order to keep for 30 min. And HR, BP, urine output and serum potassium were monitored simultaneously. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium≥5.1 mol/L. The successful hyperkalemia model should keep serum potassium≥5.1 mol/L after ceasing potassium given 30 min. Results The second and third programs could reproduce a hyperkalemia model successfully. The serum potassium returned to normal within 30 min after stopping potassium given in the first program. Conclusion The method which keep low and flat P wave and peaked T wave for 30 min and keep the wide and deformed QRS complex 30 min could reproduce the hyperkalemia model successfully.

Methods It was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays(ELISA)to the levels of serum Anti-gangliosides(Anti-GS)in 2 DM and DPN as well as healthy.Results The positive rate of Anti-GS-IgM,IgG in DPN group were 46.7% and 20.0%.repectivily it was obviously higher than normal group and 2 DM group.Conclusion The relationship between the DPN and Anti-GS-Ab is a close.It show that Anti-GS-Ab play an important role in DPN pathological process.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of two surgical methods on treatment of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation. METHOD: Eighty-seven cases of allergic rhiniti complicated with nasal septum deviation were divided into 2 groups according to the degree of mucosal hypertrophy and hyperplasia of bone in inferior turbinate. They were treated by resection of nasal septum deviation combined with temperature-controlled radio-frequency, or combined with partial submucoperiosteous resection of inferior turbinate bone. The Lanzhou standard (2004) and nasal airway resistance were used to evaluate the efficacy. RESULT: After one year follow-up time, the nasal resistance was significantly decreased and the effective rates were greater than 88% in each group. CONCLUSION Both of the two surgical methods can significantly depress the nasal resistance and improve the allergic symptoms, which shows good effect.
