Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on cytochrome c (CytC) expression and neuronal apoptosis after intracerebral hemorrhage in rots.Methods A total of 108 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into 3 groups:sham operation group,saline control group,and atorvastatin group (n =36 each group).All the groups were redivided into 6 h,12 h,day 1,3,5 and 7 time points (n =6 at each time point).An intracerebral hemorrhage model was induced by using a modified two-step injection method.After modeling,atorvastatin was used for gavages (20 rng/kg,once a day) in the atorvastatin group.The saline control group was given the same volume of saline.Behavior evaluation was used for neurological score.TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in perihematoma tissue.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the CytC expression in perihematoma tissue.Results Behavior evaluation showed that the neurological scores decreased gradually with the passage of time in the atorvastatin group and the saline control group.There were no significant differences at 6 h,12 h,day 1 and day 3,but the neurological scores in the atorvastatin group were significantly lower than those in thc saline control group at day 5 (0.50 ± 0.55 vs.1.50 ± 0.55; t =3.162,P =0.010) and day 7 (1.00 ±0.63; t =2.712,P =0.022).TUNEL staining showed that the numbers of apoptotic cells increased first and then decreased in the saline control group and the atorvastatin group.They reached the peak at 1 hour after modeling.There were significant differences in the number of apoptotic cells in each group in perihematoma tissue at the same time point (all P =0.000),and the significance in the saline control group was more than that in the sham operation group and the atorvastatin group (all P ＜0.05),but at day 7,there was no significant difference in the number of apoptotic cells between the atorvastatin group and the sham operation group (12.69 ± 3.35 vs.9.33 ± 2.07; P =0.148).Immunohistochemical method showed that the numbers of CytC positive cells increased first and then decreased in the saline control group and the atorvastatin group,reached the peak at 12 h after modeling in te saline control group (68.19 ± 11.93) and at 1 d in the atorvastatin group (35.64 ± 9.12).There were significant differences in the numbers of CytC positive cells in perihematoma tissue at the same time point in each group (P =0.000).The numbers of CytC positive cells in the saline control group was significantly more than that in the sham operation group and the atorvastatin group (all P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the numbers of CytC positive cells between the atorvastatin statin group and the sham group at day 7 (16.08 ± 3.80 vs.13.67 ± 2.94; P =0.349).Conelusions Atorvastatin may inhibit the release of CytC of nerve cells in perihematoma tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage,and thus reduce CytC-mediated apoptosis and neurological deficit after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To study and analyze the clinical observation and nursing measures of prednisone acetate combined leflunomide in the treatment of IgA nephropathy.Methods 100 patients with IgA nephropathy treated in our hospital from February 2015 to September 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group,with 50 patients in each group.Patients in the control group were treated with prednisone and dropped to 0.5 mg/kg after 12 weeks.The patients in the experimental group were treated with leflunomide and dropped to 20 mg after 3 days.The patients in the experimental group and the control group were treated for 3 months.The two groups of patients were given reasonable nursing measures, and compared the treatment effect.Results The effective rate of treatment in the experimental group was 94.0％, significantly higher than that in the control group (64.0％),with statistical difference(P<0.05).After treatment,the level of 24 hours proteinuria in the experimental group was (0.541±0.322)g/L, significantly lower than that of the control group (1.516±0.568)g/L,with statistical difference (P<0.05) .The adverse reaction rate of the experimental group was 0％, and that of the control group was 8％,with statistical difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Prednisone acetate combined leflunomide was effective in the treatment of IgA nephropathy, and can significantly improve the efficiency of treatment, and has clinical significance.

BACKGROUND: Many factors can lead to a large area of skin defects, and tissue-engineered artificial skil transplantation composed by seeding cel s and scaffold materials can be used for skin defect repair. OBJECTIVE: To construct the skin implantation scaffold based on human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal matrix in nude mice. METHODS: Human epidermal stem cel s from children’s foreskin were isolated and cultured, and the skin of nude mice was obtained to prepare acel ular dermal matrix scaffold. Then, the human epidermal stem cel s were cultured on the acel ular dermal matrix scaffold to construct artificial skin. Ten Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomly divided into two groups: rats treated by human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal matrix scaffold as combined group, and those treated by simple acel ular dermal scaffold as acel ular dermal scaffold group after skin defect models were prepared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The artificial skin was milky white, soft and elastic, not easy to break, and has good flexibility, and good plasticity, and could be processed into different shapes. No obvious exudation appeared in the rat wound of two groups after repair. At 2 weeks after modeling, the transplanted skin showed good growth and skin wound healed gradual y in the combined group. In contrast, scar healing and two animals with transplant failure occurred in the acel ular dermal scaffold group. These results show that human epidermal stem cel s combined with acel ular dermal materials in nude mice can construct the tissue-engineered skin, which exerts good repair effects for skin defects in animals.

Objective To explore the impact of different doses of dexmedetomidine on the anesthetic sedative and analgesic effect of anesthesia agents in hysterectomy of patients with uterine fibroids under laparoscopy.Methods 90 patients with uterine fibroids with ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ who were going to undergoing general intravenous anesthesia laparoscopic hysterectomy were selected and they were divided into group A (dexmedetomidine 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1,n=30) and group B (dexmedetomidine 0.2μg·kg-1·h-1,n=30) and group C (no dexmedetomidine,n=30) by digital random method.The analgesia effect (VAS score) of group A,group B and group C preoperation and postoperative 1h,12h and 24h,and the sedation (Ramsay sedation score) were compared.General information,postoperative blood pressure,heart rate,pulse oxygen saturation,postoperative patients'' satisfaction on analgesic effect and the sedation effect and adverse reactions of the three groups were also compared.Results Age,body mass index and other basic information of three groups had no statistically significant differences (all P＞0.05).The preoperative VAS score of the three groups also had no statistically significant difference (F=0.625,P＞0.05).Postoperative 12h,24h,the VAS scores of group A and group B were lower than those of C group,which of group A were lower than group B (F=11.250,P＜0.05,F=21.181,P＜0.05).The Ramsay sedation score was higher than that of C group[(3.67±0.18) vs.(2.13±0.11)].The satisfaction of group A was significantly higher than group B and group C (96.67％ vs.73.33％,46.67％,χ2=25.953).The Ramsay sedation score and satisfaction were higher than those of group B (all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in blood pressure (F=0.362,P＞0.05),pulse oxygen saturation (F=0.978,P＞0.05) and heart rate among the three groups before and after operation (F=1.268,P＞0.05).There was no obvious adverse reaction in the three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can promote anesthetic sedative and analgesic effect of anesthesia agents in hysterectomy of patients with uterine fibroids under laparoscopy,and the dose 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 of dexmedetomidine has better effect,feasibility and safety,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

BACKGROUND:Peripheral facial nerve injury first involves the retrograde reactions of central nervous system axons, and nerve regeneration wil depend on the survival and functional status of neuronal cel bodies. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in facial nuclei after facial nerve injury. METHODS:New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into model group (n=48) and control group (n=8). In the model group, every eight rabbits were used to carry out the test respectively at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21 days after the model of facial nerve injury (right side) was established. SP and real-time quantitative PCR methods were taken to test the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus at mRNA and RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The control group had neuronal cadherin-and placental cadherin-positive neurons. In the model group, neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin positively expressed in the facial motorneurons (right side), and their expressions were peaked at 14 days. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of neuronal cadherin in the facial motorneurons was increased significantly at 4-28 days after injury;the mRNA expression of placental cadherin in the facial motorneurons was decreased significantly at 1 day after injury, and then increased significantly at 7-28 days. It is suggested that the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin is positive in the early stage of facial nerve injury, and the expression of placental cadherin is always present, while the expression of neuronal cadherin relatively lasts for a short time. After facial nerve injury, the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus is both increased, which indicates that the facial nerve regeneration may be related to the high expression of adhesion molecules.

Objective To observe the effects of Chinese medicinal herbs with the efficacy of invigorating spleen, upbearing the clear, and tonifying spleen on the obesity degree, fat hormones, and insulin resistance in diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats;To choose better anti-obesity herbs from different Chinese medicinal herbs that can tonify spleen. Methods Among the 130 Wistar rats, 10 were chosen as the blank control group (fed with basal forage), and the remaining 120 were administered with high-fat high-nutrition forage for 13 weeks. According to weight, 50 DIO rats and 10 diet-induced obesity resistance (DIO-R) rats were obtained. DIO rats were divided into model group (normal saline), sibutramine group, invigorating spleen group (Atractylodix Rhizome and Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), upbearing the clear group (Bupleuri Radix and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) and medicine for tonifying qi and spleen group (Astragali Radix). All groups received gavage with corresponding drugs. Rats in the blank control group and the DIO-R group received gavage with normal saline. The basal forage was administered to rats in the blank control group, while high-fat forage was continually given to rats in the other six groups. Insulin resistance index (IRI), blood glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and adiponectin were detected after blood withdrawing. TNF-α and adiponectin in the fat homogenate were examined. Results Compared with the blank control group, body weight, IRI, and cholesterol of rats in the model group significantly increased (P<0.01);adiponectin in homogenate reduced (P<0.01);serum and adipose homogenate TNF-α increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, body weight, IRI, cholesterol of rats in DIO-R group significantly decreased (P<0.01);adiponectin in fat homogenate increased (P<0.01). Body weight and cholesterol of rats in the sibutramine group significantly decreased (P<0.01), while serum and adipose homogenates TNF-αdecreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Body weight, IRI and cholesterol of rats in upbearing the clear group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01);serum and adipose homogenate TNF-α decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01);adiponectin increased in fat homogenate (P<0.05). IRI, cholesterol and serum TNF-αof rats in the invigorating spleen group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01);adiponectin in serum and adipose homogenate increased (P<0.05). BMI, blood glucose, IRI and cholesterol of rats in Astragali Radix group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01);TNF-α decreased and adiponectin increased in serum and adipose homogenate (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Astragali Radix could reduce obesity induced by high-fat forage, and its effects on improving glucose and lipid metabolism disorder and IR are better than the other TCM groups. Its mechanism is related to decreasing TNF-α and increasing adiponectin level.

Aim To investigate the preventive effect of Guizhi decoction on cardiac sympathetic sprouting induced by 4-Methylcatechol (4-MC) . Methods The rat models of cardiac sympathetic sprouting were in-duced by 10 mg · L-1 4-MC ( 10μg · kg-1 body weight, i. p. ) . Guizhi decoctions ( with different pro-portion between Ramulus Cinnamomi and Radix Paeon-iae Alba, 1 : 1, 1 : 2 and 2 : 1) and metoprolol were administered to the rats. Heart rate and electrocardio-gram ( ECG ) were observed, the content of norepi-nephrine (NE), growth associated protein (GAP-43), tyrosine hydroxylase ( TH ) and acetylcholine transfer-ase enzyme ( CHAT) in myocardial homogenate of left ventricular and right atrial were determined by ELISA method, and immunofluorescence assay was used to observe cardiac nerve sprouting and sympathetic distri-bution. Results 4-MC caused cardiac sympathetic sprouting and parasympathetic was not influenced. Heart rate of the model group was improved significant-ly and higher than that of the other groups . Compared with the model group, the content of NE, GAP-43 and TH in left ventricle and right atrium of the metoprolol group and Guizhi decoction group were decreased( P<0.05 ) , and the immunofluorescence result showed that the distribution of TH positive nerve was reduced sig-nificantly(P<0.05). It was demonstrated that Guizhi decoction of the proportion between Ramulus Cinnamo-mi and Radix Paeoniae Alba 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 had the best efficacy, which was similar to the efficacy of meto-prolol. Conclusion Guizhi decoction ( with the pro-portion between Ramulus Cinnamomi and Radix Paeon-iae Alba 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 ) effectively inhibits the cardi-ac sympathetic sprouting induced by 4-MC.
