Objective To evaluate the effect of Shenfuhuang injection (SFH) on tissue and plasma TNF-? level and multiple organ dysfunction in septic rats. Method Wistar rats were subjected to sepsis by ceral ligation and puncture, then they were randomly divided into four groups, normal control, sham operation grop, septic group, SFH group. Animals were sacrificed at 2, 8, 24, 48 h. TNF-? level of lung, liver and plasma were measured. DAO activity was determined. Result TNF-? level of liver, lung and plasma were markedly increased at 2~8 h post-CLP compared with sham operation group. In SFH group, TNF-? level decreased in different degrees. DAO activity was much lower in SFH group than in CLP group at 2, 8 h. Conclusion Early applying of SFH could markedly inhibit TNF-? level of vital organs and injury of intestine, thereby preventing the development of excessive inflammation response and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome associated with CLP-induced sepsis.

The diabetic patients died of cardiovascular disease mainly. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of diabetes complicated with atherosclerosis were still unclear. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress may play a vital intermediate role in the progression of diabetic atherosclerosis. Both of diabetic hyperglycemia induced hexosamine pathway and diabetes induced macrophage insulin resistance can lead to ER stress. The unfolded protein response (UPR) produced by ER stress can be observed throughout the whole development course of atherosclerosis. In addition, ER stress also induced lipid deposition, cell apoptosis and inflammatory response, all of which was important for the progression of atherosclerosis. Though ER stress may be key for diabetes induced atherosclerosis, which pathway played the central role and the interaction between cytokines still need to be investigated. So that we could provide individual therapeutic scheme for treatment as well as prevention of diabetic complication.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shenfuhuang injection (SFH Injection) on function of organs and mortality of septic rats, using a sepsis mode by cecal ligation puncture(CLP). Methods 140 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, sham operation group, CLP group (being further divided into 2, 8, 24, 48 h subgroups), SFH injection treatment group (being further divided into 2, 8, 24, 48 h subgroups, drug were inraveous injected just after operation and per 12 h). The mortality of animals and altering organ’s function were observed within 7 days. Results Compared to CLP model, mortality of Septic rats in SFH injection group was significant lower, and the treatment prolonged survival duration. SFH Injection group owned lower numerical values of ALT, AST, BUN and Cr in serum. Conclusion SFH Injection can obviously decline the mortality of septic rats and play an important role in protecting organ function.

Objective To analyze mutations in the GJB2 gene in a Chinese patient with keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID)syndrome complicated by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Clinical data were collected from a patient with KID syndrome complicated by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from the patient and her parents, and DNA was extracted from these blood samples. PCR was performed to amplify the exon 2 of the GJB2 gene followed by direct DNA sequencing. Results A mutation (c.148G > A)was identified at position 148 in exon 2 of the GJB2 gene, which caused a codon change from GAC to AAC and resulted in the substitution of aspartate by asparagine at position 50 in the connexin26 (Cx26)protein (p.Asp50Asn). Inaddition,anothermutation(c. 79G > A), which led to the substitution of valine by isoleucine at codon 27 in Cx26 (p.Val27Ile), was found at position 79 in exon 2 of the GJB2 gene. Neither of the two mutations was detected in the patient′s parents. Literature review revealed that 13 cases of KID syndrome complicated by cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma had been reported in abroad, and the mutation c.148G > A was detected in the GJB2 gene in all the 7 cases finally diagnosed by gene sequencing. Conclusion GJB2 gene mutations may be responsible for the clinical phenotype of KID syndrome in this Chinese patient, and the mutation c.148G > A may be related to the development of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.
