Objective This study was designed to assess whether Bushen Tongluo Fang(BSTLF),a Chinese materia medica formula,can ameliorate the hypercoagulable state in rats with membranous glomerulonephritis(MGN)induced by cationized bovine serum albumin(C-BSA)in order to gain an insight into the mechanisms responsible for its therapeutic effect.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly separated into six groups:the normal control group,the MGN model group,the prednisone-plus-aspirin treatment group,and the low-,moderate-,and high-dose groups of BSTLF.The model of MGN was induced by sc(preimmunization)and iv injections of C-BSA in the latter five groups.After the development of MGN model,the decoctions of BSTLF and the prednisone-plus-aspirin solution were ig administered to the treatment groups respectively twice daily for four weeks.The rats in the model group received their drinking water as vehicle controls.Urinary albumin excretion for 24 h was measured using a rat albumin ELISA kit.The platelet aggregation was analyzed by turbidimetry.The plasma level of fibri-nogen(Fib)was determined by the von Clauss assay.Radioimmunoassay was used to examine thromboxane B2(TXB2)and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1?(6-keto-PGF1?)of the renal cortex.Results Urinary albumin excretion for 24 h,maximal platelet aggregation,plasma Fib level,and TXB2 production of renal cortex in the MGN model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group,respectively.Compared with the MGN model group,these four measurements were decreased significantly in BSTLF-treated groups.The 6-keto-PGF1? production of renal cortex in the MGN model group was subnormal but no statistically significant differences were observed between the model group and BSTLF groups.Conclusion The results of this study suggest that the administration of BSTLF could attenuate platelet aggregability,lower plasma level of Fib and reduce thromboxane A2 production by renal cortex in the rats with MGN,so that their hypercoagulable state is corrected at least partly and glomerular microthroimbosis is prevented in several ways.These effects may contribute considerably to the mechanisms of BSTLF efficacy for chronic nephritis.

The relationship between the hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and the balance of nitric oxide/endothelins (NO/ET) was studied. The changes of the ratio of NO/ET and the hepatic injury were observed in a rat hepatic I/R model pretreated with several tool drugs. In the acute phase of hepatic I/R injury, the ratio of plasma NO/ET was reduced from 1.58 +/- 0.20 to 0.29 +/- 0.05 (P < 0.01) and the hepatic damage deteriorated. NO donor L-Arg and ET receptor antagonist TAK-044 could alleviate the hepatic I/R injury to some degree, whereas NO synthase inhibitor L-NAME aggravated the damage. It was concluded that the hepatic I/R injury might be related with the disturbance of the NO/ET balance. Regulation of this balance might have an effect on the I/R injury.

Objective To evaluate the detection of membrane neutrophil alkaline phosphatase (NAP)in diagnosis of infection in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 208 patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage,including 1 52 cases without infection (uninfected group)and 56 cases with infection (infected group),admitted in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University during January 201 0 to July 201 6 were enrolled,30 healthy subjects were also enrolled in the study as control group.The peripheral blood from all subjects were collected,and the counts of white blood cell (WBC), percentage of neutrophil,serum procalcitonin (PCT)and NAP were measured.The value of above 4 indicators in diagnosing infection was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC ) curves. ANOVA and t test were used to analyze the data,Pearson correlation was performed to analyze the correlation between NAP and PCT in infected group.Results The levels of WBC,percentage of neutrophil and NAP in both infected and uninfected group were higher than those in healthy control group at admission(F =1 1 7.64, 1 00.69 and 425.09,all P <0.01 ),and the levels of WBC,PCT and NAP were also higher when infection occurred compared with those at admission in infected group (t =3.1 4,34.30 and 36.39,all P <0.01 ). The expression of NAP was positively correlated with PCT in infected group (r =0.762,P <0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves of NAP and PCT in diagnosis of infection were 0.875 and 0.884,respectively.When 1 0655.28 AB/c and 5.01 mg/L were taken as cut-off values,the sensitivities of NAP and PCT in diagnosis of infection were 85.50% and 87.66%;the specificities were 90.50%和 90.31 %,respectively.The level of NAP in infected patients with gram-positive bacterial infections was higher than that in patients with gram-negative bacterial infections (t =6.29,P <0.01 ). Conclusion The expression of NAP in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage increases when infection occurs,which may be helpful to the clinical diagnosis of bacterial infection.
