Objective To study the effects of overdose fluoride on blood lipid and hemorheology in rabbits and the protective effect of selenium. Methods Twenty male rabbits were divided into 4 groups: normal group,fluorine group(100 mg/L),selenium group(1 mg/L) and selenium (1 mg/L) plus fluorine (100 mg/L) group. After 6 months of treatment,whole blood rheology,blood serum TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,SOD activity,GSH-Px activity,the content of MDA were determined. Results The whole blood rheology of rabbit in fluorine group was abnormal. Compared with the normal group,significant increase of blood serum TC,HDL-C,LDL-C was seen,decrease of SOD activity and GSH-Px activity and increase of the content of MDA in fluorine group was found. The results of selenium plus fluorine group was more close to the normal group compared with fluorine group. Conclusion Fluorosis can induce hemorheology and lipid metabolism disorder and decrease the capacity of antioxidase and moderate selenium intake may have some protective effect.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic(PK-PD) model of Nisoldipine controlled-release patches(NCRP)in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR). METHODS:SHR were randomized into a patch(NCRP)group and a tablet(Nisoldipine tablets)group,with 6 rats in each group. The microdialysis probes were implanted in SHR. Each rat was given 5 mg nisoldipine. Plasma microdialysate was collected within 36 h after administration. HPLC was adopted to determine the plasma concentration of nisoldipine,and WinNonlin 5.3 was employed to calculate Pharmacokinetic parameters. With heart rate and blood pressure as pharmacodynamic indexes,PK-PD model study was conducted. RESULTS:Vs. nisoldipine tablets,NCRP has con-trolled release effect. The relationship between NCRP drug effect and effect-site concentration met the Sigmoid-Emax model. The main parameters of the PK-PD model for heart rate and systolic blood pressure were as follows as Emax of (2.65 ± 0.06) and (10.71 ± 0.87),EC50 of (83.65 ± 35.25) and (1.29 ± 0.26) ng/ml,γ of (0.83 ± 0.91) and (1.2 ± 0.35),Keo of (0.37 ± 0.53) and (0.91±0.24)h-1. CONCLUSIONS:PK-PD model of NCRP in SHR has been established successfully.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: For the present study, we investigated the factors that influence the quality of standardized treatment for patients with post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) to improve the quality of PCAS treatment. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: We collected data on patients with cardiac arrest (CA) who were admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) of 11 hospitals-Class II Grade A or above-in Suzhou from January to October 2013. Indexes of standardized treatment were observed within 72 hrs of CA. We analyzed monitoring techniques, monitoring frequency, ICU human and material resources, and intensivists' knowledge of PCAS treatment to explore how those factors affected the management of patients with PCAS. RESULTS: The bed/nurse ratio and the frequency with which core temperature was recorded correlated closely with the implementation of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) within 6 hrs of CA. The bed/doctor ratio and intensivists' knowledge about PCAS correlated closely with high-quality blood glucose control within 6 hrs of CA. Furthermore, the frequency with which core temperature was recorded was an independent factor influencing the quality of TH implementation, and the number times blood gas was analyzed was an independent factor influencing how well partial pressure of carbon dioxide was kept within the normal range in the 6 hrs after CA. CONCLUSION: The frequency of core temperature measurements and the number of times blood gas is analyzed are the most important factors influencing the quality of standardized treatment for patients with PCAS.

Objective Albumin is well known to decrease in response to sepsis, However, the.degradation and distribution in patients with severe sepsis to explore the mechanism of hypoalbuminemia in sepsis. Methods 10 volunteers and 10 patients with severe sepsis. 125I labeled albumin was administered intravenously to 10 healthy volunteers and 10 patients with severe sepsis. Each subject had frequent blood samples taken at 0,1,2,4,8,12,24 hours and on day 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 22, 25 to measure 125I concentration and draw the curve of concentration over time. Plasma was regarded as the central pool and body fluid as side pool, The curve of albumin concentration vs time was expected to follow two compartment model. Results Radioactivity of blood samples was counted and the results were graphically expressed. The half-life time(t1/2), apparent volume of distribution(Vd) and transportation rate(K12) of albumin from the central pool to the side pool were calculated. The half-life time in sepsis was obviously shorter than that in control group (8.2 1.4 vs 12.5 1.7days, P<0.001). The transportation rate in sepsis group was quicklier than that in control group [(4.4±1.9)× 10-2/h vs (2.4±0.6)×10-2/h, P<0.005]. There was no significant difference in apparent volume of distribution between two groups. Conclusions In patients with severe sepsis, the distribution rate of albumin from plasma to body fluid was obviously elevated and the decomposition rate of albumin was markedly increased.
