Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2013;20(11):1608-1610
Objective To explore the differences of resistin level between Mongol and Han population in patients with metabolic syndrome and to analyze its related factors.Methods According to the diagnostic criterion of metabolic syndrome,30 patients with metabolic syndrome in Mongol population (group 1) and 28 patients with metabolic syndrome in Han population(group 2) were randomly selected from health examination population.Radioimmunoassay kit was used to examine the serum resistin level in patients with metabolic syndrome.At the same time,their weight,height,blood pressure,blood glucose,blood lipid [high density lipoprotein (HDL),low density lipoprotein (LDL),total cholesterol (TC),glycerin three greases (TG)],blood uric acid (UA),leptin,insulin were measured,and body mass index(BMI) and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) were counted and compared.Results There were significant differences in systolic pressure,leptin,resistin,blood insulin and HOMA-IR between the two groups(all P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in age,diastolic pressure,BMI,HDL,LDL,TG,TC,UA and blood glucose between the two groups(all P >0.05).The increase of resistin level in group 1 was associated with UA,systolic pressure and HOMA-IR(r =0.357,0.427,0.582,all P < 0.05).Conclusion The serum resistin level of patients with metabolic syndrome in Mongol population is correlated with UA,systolic pressure and insulin resistance index,and maybe play an important role in the development of metabolic syndrome.

Objective To observe the behavioral and the histopathology changes and expression of NR2B subunit in spinal dorsal horn in chronic constriction injury (CCI) rats after pulsed radiofrequency (PRF). Methods Forty-eight adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham-Sham (SS), Sham-PRF (SP), CCI-Sham (CS) and CCI-PRF (CP) groups. The right sciatic nerves (SNs) of the CS and CP groups were ligated to create the CCI model. For the SS and SP groups, the right SNs were separated without ligation. The CP and SP groups accepted PRF at the ligation site 15 days after modeling, while the electrode was placed in rats in the SS and CS groups without elec-tricity. The hindpaw withdrawal threshold (HWT) was measured before and 3, 7, 11, 15 days after modeling, and 1, 3, 7, 11, 15 days after treatment. The right SNs at ligation sites were assessed with optical microscopic score 15 days after treatment, and the NR2B expression in the L4-6 spinal dorsal horn were determined with Western blotting. Results HWT was significantly shorter in the CS and CP groups than in the SS and SP groups after modeling, and was more in the CP group than in the CS group. Under the optical microscope, the axonal diame-ter and myelin sheath thickness increased in the CP group compared to those in the CS group (P<0.01), the NR2B expression was less in the CP group than in the CS group after treatment (F=10.769, P<0.05). Conclusion PRF may reduce hyperalgesia and repair damaged SNs in CCI-induced neuropathic pain, which may associate with inhibition of the NR2B subunit expression in spinal dorsal horn.

Methods: Total RNA was extracted from PBMCs which had been infected with vesicular stomatitis virus(VSV) in vitro.IL-29 cDNA was amplified using one-step RT-PCR technique. The recombinant expressing plasimd of psectagB/His-myc-IL29 was constructed by inserting IL-29 cDNA into the vector and was then transfected into cos-7 cells. Stable expression stains were screened by Hygromycin B and limited dilution method. The target protein was purified through Ni2+-chelating Sepharose Fast Flow. Anti-viral bioactivity of the recombinant IL-29 fusion protein was analyzed through an in vitro model of production of HBV by the HepG2.2.2.15 cell line.ELISA was used for detection of the viral titers in the cell cultural supernants. Results: IL-29 was cloned and stably expressed in cos-7 cells successfully. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed multiple bands of the target protein with the molecular weights between 20 000 and 33 000, and the major band was located at about 33 000, indicating the fused IL-29 modified by additional glycosylation. The rhIL-29 was shown to dose-dependently inhibit secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg accompanied by the reduction of HBV genomic DNA in the cells tested. The inhibition ratio of HBsAg and HBeAg production was attained 85% at a concentration of 160 ?g/L of rhIL-29. Conclusion: The rhIL-29 with anti-HBV activity has been obtained.

Objective To investigate the effect of state anxiety and trait anxiety on attentional orienting of heroin addicts. Methods State anxiety and trait anxiety was measured by State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Forty heroin ad?dicts (36 males and 4 females) and 40 healthy controls (36 males and 4 females) participated in cue-target task. Atten?tional orienting and reorienting were measured in valid cue trials and invalid cue trails. Results Heroin addicts had sig?nificantly greater state anxiety [(42.65 ± 6.58) vs. (36.60 ± 8.91)] and trait anxiety [(44.43 ± 7.67) vs. (37.00 ± 8.63)] values than controls (P<0.05). The state anxiety was significantly correlated with orientation RT difference (r=-0.259, P=0.020) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.333, P=0.003) in heroin addicts. Trait anxiety was also significantly cor?related with orientation RT difference (r=-0.248, P=0.026) and disengaging/reorientation RT difference (r=0.356, P=0.001) in heroin addicts. Conclusion Heroin addicts have significantly greater anxiety than healthy controls. Both their state anxiety and trait anxiety are associated with attentional orienting and disengaging/reorienting.
