OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism of renal toxicity of platinums in rats.METHODS:A total of 12 rats were equally assigned to receive cisplatin,carboplatin,or dicycloplatin i.v with the dosage of platinum at 10 mg?kg-1.The cumulative excretion rate of platinum in urine in 4 h and the concentration of platinum in renal tissue were measured by atom absorption method.RESULTS:The total excretion percent of platinum in urine in the first 4 h after injection of cisplatin,carboplatin,and dicycloplatin were(33.7?5.7)%,(89.1?8.5)% and(70.1?9.8)% respectively.The renal platinum concentration were 70.6?31.6,217.7?97.6,and(278.8?112.0)?g?g-1,respectively.CONCLUSIONS:Both the renal excretion speed and renal concentrations of platinum were higher for dicycloplatin and carboplatin than for cisplatin.The nephrotoxicity of platinum drugs probably has no direct relationship with the renal concentration of platinum.

Objective By researching the auditory brainstem response(ABR) latency and interpeak latency intervals before and after continuous positive airway pressure through the nares(nCPAP), the experiment explored the pathophysiological and anatomical basis of electric physiological change in patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods The ABR of 45 OSAHS patients(90 ears) and control group(32 ears)was examined,the sleep of patients with OSAHS was monitored by polysomnography(PSG).The results of ABR before and after nCPAP were compared.Results 1.The latency of wave III? V and interpeak latency intervals of I-III,III-V,I-V of patients were longer than that of the control group.2.After nCPAP,wave III and interpeak latency intervals of I-III,III-V changed obviously.Conclusion 1.The OSAHS patients' auditory brainstem structure is impaired,which has relationship with high carbonic acid and low oxygen saturation. 2.Except wave III,produced by upper nucleus olivaris that is near the breathing center,effect of nCPAP on ABR of patients with OSAHS is not obvious.

AIM: To investigate the role of adrenomedullin (AM) in diabetic nephropathy. METHODS: We observed the changes in the expression and secretion of AM, TGF-? 1 in the cultured human mesangial cells under high glucose condition and the contents of the laminin and type IV collagen in the supernatants. The effect of intervention with AM was also observed. RESULTS: High glucose condition resulted in increase in the expression and secretion of AM TGF-? 1 laminin and type IV collagen. AM reversed the influence of high glucose on the cultured human mesangial cells. CONCLUSION: These results showed that high glucose condition is one of stimulating factors of AM and the renal protective action of AM may be associated with suppression of TGF-? 1 and reducing excessive accumulation of laminin and type IV collagen.

Objective To understand the effect of cerium on the activity of SOD and CAT in Drosophila melanogaster.Methods Drosophila melanogasters were treated with cerium by adding cerium sulfate [Ce(SO4)2] into the culture medium at different concentrations(0,1,4,16,64,256 and 1 024 mg/L).The activity of SOD and CAT of the third-instar larvae were analyzed.Result Compared with the control,at 64-1 024 mg/L,the activity of SOD and CAT in the third-instar larvae significantly decreased and at 1-16 mg/L,the activity of SOD and CAT significantly increased Conclusion It suggested that cerium sulfate [Ce(SO4)2] has an oxidant toxicity to Drosophila melanogaster.

Objective To explore a practicable method for analyzing the cost losses of residents' health impact induced by environmental pollution and evaluate the cost losses of local residents' health impact in arsenic contaminative area. Methods The data on residents' health were obtained in an arsenic polluted area as the basis analysis of economic loss. Additionally, the data on the sizes of local population, GDP, the annual personal income, the annual prevalence of acute diseases, absence due to sickness and patients' nursing care, the annual prevalence of chronic diseases in 1985. Local residents' age specific death rates and sizes of population in 1985-1995 were collected also. 3 mumerable indexes were screened for estimating the cost losses of residents' a health impact in arsenic contaminative area based on the data mentioned above and combined with abridged life table. Results Based on the calculated GDP and personal average income in 1995, the cost losses of residents due to arsenic pollution consisted of 3 sections: the first included GDP losses of 50.52 yuan/(person-year) and personal income loss of 43.71 yuan/(person-year) attributed to the reduced life expretancy of the residents living in arsenic-polluted area. The second was an excess of the annual medical expenditure of 56.30 yuan/(person-year) for residents living in arsenic-polluted area compared with that of control group. The third included GDP loss of 74.14 yuan/(person-year) and income loss of 64.23 yuan/(person' year) attributed to the health life days of residents in arsenic-polluted area during the period of number of working years. The total economic loss of 3 section mentioned above make the total GDP reduction of about 180.96 yuan/(person-year) and average income loss of about 164.27 yuan/(person-year) including excessive medical costs. Conclusion The analytical method could be applied to the estimation of economic loss of environmental pollution-attributable health impact.

Objective To study the expression of endothelin-1(ET-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) mRNA in the villus of pre-eclampsia and the effect of the ET-1 and eNOS on umbilical artery flow velocity wareforms. Methods Dot blotting, DIG-labeled human ET-1 and eNOS cDNA probes were used to examine the expression of the ET-1 and eNOS gene in the placental villus tissues of women with normal gestation and pre-eclampsia. Leica QWIN image disposal and analysis system were used to assess the mean OD of every dot. Colour doppler was used to examine the umbilical artery flow the day before childbirth. Results The level of ET-1 mRNA in placental villus was significantly higher in pre-eclampsia group than the normal group(0.43?0.03 versus 0.23?0.44,P

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment and early intravitreal injection of antibiotics to the curative effects of vitrectomy for exogenous endophthalmitis. Design Retrospective case-controlled study. Participants From Jan 2000 to Dec 2004, 94 patients(94 eyes), diagnosed as endophthalmitis were evaluated retrospectively. Methods All patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy. 46 patients (46 eyes) underwent the intravitreal injection of antibiotics early before undergoing vitrectomy from 3 to 14 days (mean 5.6 days) (group Ⅰ). The other 48 patients (48 eyes) underwent vitrectomy directly (group Ⅱ). Postoperative follow-up ranged from 3 to 12 months (mean 7.5 months). Main Outcome Measures Visual acuity. Results The visual acuities of these 94 patients improved significantly after vitrectomy (P=0.000). The rate of curative effects in group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of the group Ⅱ (P=0.029). According to the further analysis, the rates of curative effects of the patients underwent vitrectomy in 7 days were similar between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ(P=0.692), but the rates of curative effects of the patients underwent vitrectomy after 7 days were obviously different between two groups (P=0.008). Conclusions Undergoing vitrectomy as early as possible is a good available method for the treatment of exogenous endophthalmitis. If the vitrectomy can not be undergone early, intravitreal injection of antibiotics in time before vitrectomy may increase the therapeutic effect of exogenous endophthalmitis obviously.
