Objective To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin on lipid parameters in hemodialysis patients. Methods The trial was double blind, open, controlled and randomized for one year. 35 pre-dialysis patients were divided into two groups: UFH(unfractionated heparin) group(n = 13) and LMWH(low molecular weight heparin ) group(n = 22), UFH or Fragmin according to individual dosage was infused to patients of two groups respectively. The level of serum lipid, lipoprotein, apolipoprotein and activity of lipase were measured at months 0, 6 and 12 of trial. Results Significant increases in serum concentrations of TG, LDL, VLDL, Lp(a) and apo-B were observed, whereas serum concentrations of HDL, apo-Al and activity of plasma LCAT or LDL were decreased in both groups before hemodialysis. As dialysis time went by, in LMWH group, activities of plasma LPL and LCAT elevated; TG concentration decreased; VLDL and LDL were not significantly different compared with that of pre-dialysis, but were statistically different in contrast to UFH group. Conclusion The long-term use of LMWH instead of conventional heparin for anticoagulation during dialysis has beneficial effects on the lipid profile, especially in patients with dyslipidemia.

The osmotic pressure of ammonium sulfate solutions has been measured by the well-established freezing point osmometry in dilute solutions and we recently reported air humidity osmometry in a much wider range of concentration. Air humidity osmometry cross-validated the theoretical calculations of osmotic pressure based on the Pitzer model at high concentrations by two one-sided test (TOST) of equivalence with multiple testing corrections, where no other experimental method could serve as a reference for comparison. Although more strict equivalence criteria were established between the measurements of freezing point osmometry and the calculations based on the Pitzer model at low concentration, air humidity osmometry is the only currently available osmometry applicable to high concentration, serves as an economic addition to standard osmometry.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of p27 in the inhibition of emodin on the mesangial cell (MC) proliferation induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-alpha). METHODS: p27 protein of MC was detected with western blotting analysis. The degree of MC proliferation was estimated through [(3)H] thymidine ([(3)H] TdR) incorporation. Different dosage of emodin (50 mg/L,100 mg/L) was added into MC stimulated by TNF-alpha. RESULTS: TNF-alpha (200 kU/L) decreased p27 level of MC cultured in serum-free DMEM for 24 hours and increased[(3)H] TdR incorporation. Emodin increased p27 level of MC stimulated by TNF-alpha and decreased [(3)H] TdR incorporation. The more the emodin was added, the greater the above-mentioned effect of emodin. CONCLUSION: The increment of p27 level maybe play an important role in the inhibition of emodin on MC proliferation induced by TNF-alpha.

Objective To study the effect of blood glucose level and duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and quantitative carotid stiffness (QCS) in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Two hundred and seventy-four type 2 diabetic patients (diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria) were involved in this study. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the HbAlclevels and duration of diabetes mellitus: 60 with duration ≤2 years (as newly diagnosed) , 96 with duration≥5 years and HbAlc <6.5%, and 118 with duration≥5 years and HbAlc≥6.5%. CIMT and QCS of the common carotid artery were assessed by the high-resolution B-mode ultrasound unit and an echo-tracking system integrated in an uhrasound unit respectively. Results (1) In categorical analyses, the mean level of CIMT was increased from 720 μm in subjects with a duration of diabetes mellitus ≤2 years to 770 μm in subjects with a duration of diabetes mellitus > 2 years and plasma HbAlc< 6.5% (P < 0.05), and to 800 μm in subjects with a duration of diabetes mellitus > 5 years and plasma HbAlc≥ 6.5 % (P < 0.01). The corresponding values for Q CS values were 4.5, 4.5 and 5.1 (P <0.05), respectively. (2) In multiple stepwise regression analyses, CIMT wassignificantly associated with the duration of diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure and serum concentration of total cholesterol, whereas QCS was significantly associated with age, duration of diabetes mellitus, smoking, HbAlc, systolic blood pressure (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion QCS is suitable in evaluating the impact of blood glucose on carotid artery, while CIMT is an appropriate tool for long-term follow-up of diabetic patients.

Objective To explore the efficacy of pulse infusion of gonadorelin (LHRH) on the patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) via a micro infusion pump. Methods The protocol was designed as an open, self-controlled prospective study. 31 patients were enrolled and assigned to 3 groups: 23 males without gonadotropin-releasing hormone ( GnRH ) pulse ( group A), 2 males with GnRH pulse frequency insufficiency ( group B), and 6 females ( group C). All the subjects were admitted LHRH every 90 min via the micro infusion pump for 24 weeks. Sex hormones and related characteristics were compared before and after the treatment. Results After 24-weeks treatment, LH peak value reached ( 6. 92 ±5.66 ), ( 9. 55 ±0. 98 ), and ( 6. 93 ±4. 52 ) IU/L; and FSH peak value reached ( 7.44 ± 3. 80 ), ( 12. 85 ± 12. 80 ), and ( 7.38 ±4. 98 ) IU/L among 3 groups, respectively. The testosterone also reached ( 3.18± 1.81 ) and ( 5.78±4. 65 ) ng/ml in groups A and B ( all P<0. 01 ). In groups A and B, the testis volumes were increased, seminal fluid production was found in 7 patients and spermatogenesis in 6 patients. In group C, uterus was enlarged 85.4%, as well as the ovaries of both sides. Menarche was reported in 5 patients. 19. 4% of the studied patients complained uncomfortable at the injection sites, all the symptoms were mild. Conclusion Pulse infusion of LHRH in IHH patients via a micro infusion pump is effective, while the medication system needs improving.

Differential proteome profiles of human lung squamous carcinoma tissue compared to paired tumor-adjacent normal bronchial epithelial tissue were established and analyzed by means of immobilized pH gradient-based two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The results showed that well-resolved, reproducible 2-DE patterns of human lung squamous carcinoma and adjacent normal bronchial epithelial tissues were obtained under the condition of 0.75-mg protein-load. The average deviation of spot position was 0.733+/-0.101 mm in IEF direction, and 0.925+/-0.207 mm in SDS-PAGE direction. For tumor tissue, a total of 1241+/-88 spots were detected, 987+/-65 spots were matched with an average matching rate of 79.5%. For control, a total of 1190+/-72 spots were detected, and 875+/-48 spots were matched with an average matching rate of 73.5%. A total of 864+/-34 spots were matched between tumors and controls. Forty-three differential proteins were characterized: some proteins were related to oncogenes, and others involved in the regulation of cell cycle and signal transduction. It is suggested that the differential proteomic approach is valuable for mass identification of differentially expressed proteins involved in lung carcinogenesis. These data will be used to establish human lung cancer proteome database to further study human lung squamous carcinoma.

Objective To identify post?marketing active surveillance systems for vaccine safety around the world and understand their features and mechanisms, in order to provide guidance for vaccine administration activities in China. Methods Following the steps of scoping review, literature about active surveillance system for vaccine safety and published by 30 June 2018 were identified by searching electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Grey literature were also sought by exploring relevant websites. Identified literature were screened according to eligibility criteria, and informative data from included literature were then charted. Framework Synthesis and Thematic Analysis were performed to integrate the charted data. Results 97 pieces of literature were included for review, and 11 active surveillance systems for vaccine safety were identified, mostly located in developed countries. These systems were constructed by 3 types of organizations: administration departments, academic or research institutions, and health care providers. Their data sources included immunization registries, electronic medical records, claims data, case reports of adverse events following immunization electronic questionnaires, and epidemiologic study data. According to their operation procedures, these systems were grouped into 4 modes of active surveillance: Data Linkage, Investigator Network, Automatic Follow?up System, Studies Consortium. Conclusion Practice of active surveillance for vaccine safety greatly varies across countries, with different conditions and advantages. It is suggested that developing countries should choose suitable mode of active surveillance considering their local situations.
