AIM:To study the effects of Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2)and 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid(11,12-EET)on EDHF-mediated relaxation in the rat basilar arteries.METHODS: The relaxant effects of acetylcholine(ACh),H2O2,11,12-EET,and catalase(CAT) on rat arteria basilaris in vitro were detected by vasomotoricity experiment in vitro.RESULTS: In the rat basilar arteries,preconstricted by 30 mmol/L KCl in vitro,ACh(10-7-10-4.5 mol/L) had the concentration-dependent relaxation effect.3?10-5 mol/L N?-nitro-L-arginine-methyl-ester(L-NAME) and 10-5 mol/L indomethacin(Indo) could partly inhibit the relaxation effect of ACh to the rat basilar arteries,but non-No/non-PGI2-mediated relaxation was still significant(P

Objective To explore the preoperative diagnosis and treatment of xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis(XGP). Methods The clinical data of 16 patients with XGP from 1978 to 2003 were retrospectively reviewed, and its clinic symtoms, diagnosis and therapy were discussed in combination with literature review. Results 16 cases of patients with XGP confirmed by histopathological examination recovered well after operation, and did not relapse till now. Conclusion According to medical history, symptom, physical sign, the foam cells in urine and CT examination, XGP could be diagnosed. Sometimes, fine needle aspiration biopsy should be done in order to confirm the diagnosis of XGP. The operation was a major method for treating this disease.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes ("deficiency of qi and yin" and "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin") and A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of megsin gene, and to search the substantial genetic basis for micro-differentiation of TCM syndromes in primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS: A total of 120 IgAN cases meeting the diagnostic criteria were enrolled. The sequence of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of megsin gene was tested. The correlation between SNP and TCM syndromes was observed. RESULTS: There were 83 cases carrying GG genotype, 34 cases carrying GA genotype and 3 cases carrying AA genotype in 120 cases of primary IgAN. There was a high proportion of "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin" in IgAN cases with AA and GA genotypes, and a high proportion of "deficiency of qi and yin" in IgAN cases with GG genotype (P<0.01). Odds ratio in TCM syndrome distribution between GG genotype and GA plus AA genotype was 9.800, and 95% confidence interval was 3.969-24.199. The discrepancy also resided in IgAN patients with different genders and ages. CONCLUSION: A267G in 5'-untranslated region within exonal of the megsin gene may be one of the substantial genetic basis for differentiating "deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin" syndrome and "deficiency of qi and yin" syndrome in primary IgAN.

Objective To establish a methamphetamine-dependent model in zebrabfish.Methods On the basis of conditioned place preference (CPP) in drug-dependent experiment,place preference box for zebrafishes was designed.According to the natural characteristics of zebrafishes,their preference side and non-preferred side were determined.After intraperitoneal injection of methamphetamine,zebrafishes were placed in non-preferred side(drug box).After intraperitoneal injection of normal saline,zebrafishes were placed in preference side (non-drug box).CPP training was five days and then the methamphetamine-induced place preference in zebrafish were observed.Results After five days training,the staying time of zebrafishes of control group in drug box was not significantly lengthened to compared with before training(.( 287.5 ± 80.18 ) s,(276.3 ± 85.04) s),P＞ 0.05 ).The staying time of zebrafishes of model group in drug box was markedly extended after training.In comparison with before training or control group,the significant differences were observed ( (465.5 ± 113.49 ) s,( 247.9 ±95.62)s,(276.3 ±85.04)s,P＜0.01).Conclusion Methamphetamine can induce conditioned place preference in zebrafishes.The CPP model in zebrafish established in this study can be used as a new animal model in drug dependence.

Objective To compare main adverse cardiac events of patients with coronary heart disease and diametes,but normal lipids after statin on lowering lipids , and to bring out necessity of early lowering lipids . Methods A total of 324 patients with coronary heart disease and diametes were enrolled ,LDL-C was measured in-hospital for all patients and LDL-C<3.36mmol/L suitable for the experiment .They were divided into statin group (n=176,rosuvastatin 10 mg/d)and control group(n=148)randomly,all patients received second prevention for cor-onary heart disease including anti-platelet,anti-myocardial ischemia,smoke quitting,adjust diets and exercise,the CAG or PTCA(and stent implanting),CABG.the end events were main adverse cardiac events (cardiac events,recur-rent angina and target vessel reconstruction ).The mean follow-up time was(13 ±6)months.Results The fasting plasma glucose,LDL-C,hs-CRP in statin group were all significantly lower than those of control group [FPG:(5.3 ± 0.9)vs.(6.7 ±1.2)mmol/L,P=0.042;LDL-C:(1.7 ±0.6)mmol/Lvs.(3.9 ±1.6)mmol/L,P<0.01;hs-CRP:(1.4 ±0.5)mmol/L vs.(3.8 ±1.2)mg/L,P <0.01],MACE were less(15.6% vs.37.1%,P =0.032). Conclusion Early statin on patient with coronary heart disease and diametes ,though normal lipids ,which can down-regulate main adverse cardiac events significantly .

Objective To investigate the effect of abnormal lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.Methods Thirty women with severe preeclampsia who delivered by cesarean section in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital from November 1,2011 to June 30,2012,were included as the study group.Thirty normal pregnant women delivered during the same period by cesarean section were included as the control group.The mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL) in the placentas were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of LPL/EL protein was detected by Western-blot assay and the distribution on the placenta was determined by immunohistochemical staining.The maternal serum level of lipid markers was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.Difference between the two groups was compared with t-test or rank-sum test.Results (1) The triglyceride (TG) concentration [(3.35±0.80) mmol/L vs (2.75± 0.92) mmol/L,t =3.082,P=0.003] and atherosclerosis index (AI) (2.76±0.46 vs 2.47±0.34,t=3.066,P=0.003) increased in the study group compared with the control group,while the concentration of high-density lipoprotein-cholestrol (HDL-c) decreased[(1.64 ± 0.34) mmol/L vs (1.85 ± 0.22) mmol/L,t=-3.157,P =0.003].(2) The median level of LPL mRNA expression in placenta of the study group was higher than that of the control [1.26 (0.46-1.58) vs 0.52 (0.34-0.84),Z=-2.587,P=0.010],whereas the expression of EL mRNA was lower [0.65 (0.48-0.76) vs 1.32 (0.94-1.62),Z=-4.154,P=0.000].(3) Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the placenta EL and LPL located in cytoplasm of syncytiotrophoblast cells at the materno-placental interface and of endothelial cells at the feto-placental interface.(4) Compared with the control group,the median level of LPL protein expression in placenta inthe study group increased [0.68(0.46-0.83) vs 0.31(0.15-0.55),Z=3.335,P=0.001],and the expression of EL protein decreased [0.13 (0.11 0.16) vs 0.70(0.56 0.81),Z=-5.711,P=0.000].The expression of LPL protein was negatively correlated with that of EL protein (r=-0.501,P=0.000).Conclusions Abnormal lipid metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the expression of lung keratinocyte growth factor receptor (KGFR) in rats with acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) in different time points and its role in lung edema.Methods Thirty-two adult Wistar rats weighing 240 g to 260 g were assigned to experimental group (n =16) and control group (n =16) according to the random number table.Each group consisted of time points of 24 hours,3 days,1 week and 2 weeks after the modeling (4 rats per time point).A rat model of ASCI in experimental group was induced at C7 segment by dropping a weight of 10 g from the height of 2.5 cm (Allen' s method).In control group,laminas were removed only,leaving spinal cord at C7 intact.Rats were sacrificed at each time point for measurement of lung wet/dry weight ratio,Western blot analysis of expression of lung KGFR protein and RT-qPCR detection of lung KGFR mRNA expression.Results After ASCI in rats,the expressions of lung KGFR protein and mRNA began to drop at 24 hours (0.23 ±0.06,0,012 1 ±0.002 3),reached the trough at 3 days (0.17 ±0.04,0.008 5 ±0.001 7)and picked up at 1 week.Expression of lung KGFR mRNA in experiment group showed statistically significant difference from that in control group at 24 hours and 3 days (P ＜ 0.05),whereas in each time point the difference of KGFR protein expression between experiment and control groups was statistically significant(P ＜0.05).Variation trend of KGFR expression was in parallel with the severity degree of pulmonary edema.Conclusion Lung KGFR presents significant down-regulation in ASCI rats and this may be associated with the development of pulmonary edema after ASCI.

Objective To explore the advantages and disadvantages of laparoscopic combined with colonoscopic surgery (double endoscope surgery) and open surgery in the treatment of special types of colorectal polyps. Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with special types of colorectal polyps (wide base sessile, special parts or suspected cancerous, endoscopic resection difficult or high risk) were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 42 patients underwent double endoscope surgery (double endoscope group), and 20 patients underwent open surgery (open group). The operating time, amount of bleeding during operation, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and complication rate were compared between 2 groups. Results All the patients had successful resection of the polyps, and there were no operative deaths. There was no conversion to open surgery in double endoscope group. Two patients in the open group were unable to locate the lesion by the tactile sensation of the hand and then succeeded in locating by intraoperative colonoscopy. The operating time, amount of bleeding during operation, postoperative exhaust time, postoperative hospital stay and complication rate in double endoscope group were significantly lower than those in open group: (60.5 ± 25.4) min vs. (75.8 ± 20.6) min, (30.5 ± 15.8) ml vs. (55.2 ± 24.6) ml, (24.6 ± 10.5) h vs. (40.5 ± 16.8) h, (3.2 ± 1.0) d vs. (5.8 ± 2.2) d and 0 vs. 20% (4/20), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There was 1 case with early postoperative inflammatory bowel obstruction, 1 case with abdominal infection and 2 cases with incision infection in open group. There was no operative death in the two groups, and these patients were cured by conservative treatment. The follow-up time was 3-36 (18.6 ± 12.3) months, and all the patients survived. The patients in 2 groups had no recurrence and metastasis, no anastomotic stenosis, anastomotic leakage and other complications. Conclusions For the special types of colorectal polyps, double endoscope surgery is less invasive, with faster recovery and less complications. It is the first choice except for endoscopic resection.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of Moxifloxacin(MFX)in the treatment of acute ex-acerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB),and provide evidence-based reference for Tational use of MFX. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,Medline,CBM,CJFD,VIP and Wanfang Database,the relevant conference proceed-ings and grey literature were also hand-searched,randomized controlled trials(RCT)about MFX(test group)versus other antibiot-ics (control group) in the treatment of AECB were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 software with ITT analysis and PP analysis after literature selection,data extraction and quality evaluation. RESULTS:Totally 14 RCTs were in-cluded,involving 6 058 patients. Results of PP analysis showed,the clinical effective rate in test group was similar to that of con-trol group [RR=1.02,95%CI(1.00,1.04),P=0.06],while bacteria clearance rate was significantly higher than control group [RR=1.07,95%CI(1.04,1.11),P<0.001]. Results of ITT analysis showed,the clinical effective rate in test group was significantly high-er than control group [RR=1.03,95%CI(1.00,1.06),P=0.03],while there was no significant difference in the bacteria clearance rate [RR=1.02,95%CI(0.92,1.12),P=0.73] and the incidence of adverse reactions [RR=0.97,95%CI(0.87,1.08),P=0.52] be-tween 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:The efficacy of MFX is not inferior to other antibiotics in the treatment of AECB,safety is simi-lar to other antibiotics.
