Objective To investigate the effect of Da-Cheng-Qi decoction on enteric functional disturbance in rats with acute experimental pancreatitis and its potential mechanism. Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, acute pancreatitis (AP) group and Da-Cheng-Qi decoction treated group with 24 each. The AP model was induced by retrograde injection of sodium taurocholate (0.1 ml/100 g) into bitiopancreatic duet. Before modeling, the rats in treatment group received Da-Cheng-Qi decoction (2 g/100 g), and the rats in other two groups received 0.9% NaCl solution. The rats were sacrificed at 3, 6 and 12 hours with 8 each, and the blood samples were taken for detecting the level of amylase and the contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The colonic tissues 10 cm apart from trans-ligament incluing jejunum, terminal ileum and sigmoid colon were collected for examining the expressions of 5-HT_3 and 5-HT_4mRNA and proteins by RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Results ① The levels of serum amylase and 5-HT in AP group and treatment group were significantly higher than those in sham operation group (P<0. 01), but they were lower in treatment group than in AP group at each time points (P<0. 05). The level of 5-HT was increased in the initial stage and then decreased gradually both in AP group and treatment group. ③ The expressions of 5-HT_3 and 5-HT_4 mRNA and proteins were significantly decreased in the jejunum, terminal ileum and sigmoid colon in AP group compared with sham operation group (P<0. 01). Whereas the expressions of 5-HT_3 mRNA and protein,but not 5-HT_4, were increased in the treatment group in comparison with AP group (P<0.05). Conclusions The level of 5-HT is significantly increased in acute pancreatitis, but its receptors (5-HT_3 and 5-HT_4) are decreased, which may induce enteric functional disturbance. The Da-Cheng-Qi decoction may improve enteric dynamic failure by increasing the expression of 5-HT_4 and may be a choice for treatment of acute pancreatitis with enteric dynamic failure

Objective To determine the level and clinical significance of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (iFABP) in patients of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with intestinal dysfunction. Methods The serum and urine in 42 cases of SAP with intestinal dysfunction were collected at day 1, 3 and 7 after admission, respectively. The numbers of bowel sounds were recorded. 20 health subjects were selected as the control. Results The numbers of bowel sounds in health subjects were 5.6 ± 2.3/min. The numbers of bowel sounds in SAP patients at day 1,3 and 7 were 2.3 ± 0.7/min, 1.7 ± 0.2/min and 3.1 ± 1.1/min, respectively;which were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The level of 5-HT in the control group was(86.7 ± 9.5)ng/ml, while the levels of 5-HT in the SAP patients at day 1, 3 and 7 were (112.0 ± 17.8) ng/ml, (130.5 ± 19.7) ng/ml, (107.9 ± 16.3) ng/ml. The level of urine iFABP in the control group was (90.5 ± 19.8) pg/ml, while the levels of urine iFABP in the SAP patients were (1250.2 ± 425.3) pg/ml, (1586.9 ± 523.4) pg/ml, (1154.6 ± 394.0) pg/ml. The levels of 5-HT and urine iFABP in the SAP patients all were significantly higher than those in the control group (P <0.01). The levels of 5-HT and urine iFABP in the SAP patients at day 3 were significantly higher than those in the day 1 and day 7, while there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions Determination of serum 5-HT and urine iFABP in patients with early SAP could effectively evaluate the intestinal function, and it may have potential clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction on gut dysfunction in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Forty-eight SAP patients complicated with gut dysfunction were randomly divided into two groups according to the number of admission, which were treatment group and control group. The therapy in t reatment group was Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction infusion through gastric tube (one paste/day, b. i. d), however the therapy of control group was normal saline infusion through gastric tube (the amount was the same as the former, b. i. d), and other management in the two groups was similar. The first passage of gas by anus and defecation after treatment was observed. Serum amylase, C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 were examined before and one week after treatment;complications and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results The first passage of gas by anus and defecation in the treatment group was ( 12.3 ± 5.7 ) h and ( 24.8 ± 11.2 ) h, respectively, and shorter than ( 22. 1 ± 9.7 ) h and 46.2 ± 17.4) h of control group ( P <0.01) ;the numerical values of serum amylase, CRP, TNF-α and IL-6 one week after treatment were ( 120.3 ± 35.8 ) U/L, ( 10.8 ±2.0) ng/ml, (36.3 ± 5.8) U/L and (4.8 ± 1.0) U/L, which were significantly decreased when compared with the values before treatment, and these values were significantly lower than (267.2 ± 78.9 )U/L, ( 19.5 ± 2.7 ) ng/ml, (80.1 ± 9.0) U/L, ( 10.5 ± 1.2 ) U/L of the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The total complications and mortality of treatment group was 12.5% and 4.4%, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (37.5% and 25%, P <0.05). Conclusions Treatment with Da-Cheng-Qi Decoction in SAPpatients complicated with gut dysfunction was effective to reverse gut dysfunction and reduce total complications and mortality.

Objective: To examine attentional bias in relation to body image problems among adolescents. Methods: A total of 61 adolescent students from a junior high school in Qionghai City were selected as the research objects and divided into body image problems group( n =30) and non body image problems group( n =31). A 2×2 mixed design was employed to examine adolescents with body image problems and adolescents with no body image problems, as well as body images depicting high and low attractiveness. Point detection experiments were conducted to measure the participants responses to the detection point. Two types of behavioral data were used including the reaction time bias index and the attentional disengagement index. Results: A significant difference was observed in the group main effect of the reaction time bias score ( F =175.64, P <0.05). The response bias scores of adolescents with body image problems [The picture was high medium(39.39±15.13)ms;The picture is low medium(28.40±26.07)ms] were greater than those of adolescents with no body image concerns [(-18.31±16.57)(-17.83±9.19)ms], which indicated that the subject had a body image picture attention maintenance; the main effect of the attentional detachment index group was significantly different ( F =38.21, P <0.05). The attentional detachment indexwas higher among adolescents with a disordered attentional body image [Attention disengagement index of high volume image(18.42±13.95)ms;Attention disengagement index of low body image(15.84±19.62)ms] than among those who had no body image concerns [(-4.05±13.49)(-1.83±9.72)ms], indicating that the subject has a body image. When attending to the images, these participants had difficulties in disengaging their attention. Conclusion Adolescents with body image problems show an attentional bias towards body image pictures, and the results indicated an attentional alert maintenance mode.

Objective To determine the mortality and associated risk factors in the patients with diabetic foot ulcers. Methods One hundred and sixty-three patients with diabetic foot ulcers hospitalized from January 2001 to December 2006 were followed up until December 2009. Mortality rates were derived from Kaplan-Meier survival curves. The prognostic factors were evaluated with Cox proportional hazard model. Results Follow-up was successful in 139 out of 163 patients, with a mean follow-up period of(3.71 + 1. 80)years. 55 patients(39 males and 16 females)died during the follow-up. The 5-year mortality was 45.8% and mean survival time was 5.38 years(95% CI 4.87-5.89). The median survival time was 6.83 years. Age, smoking, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetic nephropathy were found to be independent prognostic factors for mortality. Conclusions Diabetic foot ulcers increased the mortality of diabetic patients. Age, smoking, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetic nephropathy were predictive risk factors for mortality.

Objective:To observe the dynamic of neurological severity scores (NSS) and the expressions of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in rats with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI), and to explore the effect of Huoxue Huayu decoction.Methods:A total of 126 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into seven groups by random number table with 18 rats in each group, namely control group (normal saline 2 kg/L), model group (normal saline 2 kg/L), brain protolysate group (BP group, 5.6 g/kg), Taohong Siwu decoction group (TH group, 10.2 g/kg), Xuefu Zhuyu decoction group (XF group, 15.6 g/kg), Tongqiao Huoxue decoction group (TQ group, 9.6 g/kg) and Buyang Huanwu decoction group (BY group, 28.7 g/kg). The sTBI rat model was reproduced by modified Feeney free fall method, and the rats in the control group were not treated with trauma. The rats in each group were intragastrical administered with corresponding drugs at 6 hours after injury, and the NSS scores were evaluated on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days after injury. After the hippocampus was harvested, the mRNA expressions of Wnt3a and β-catenin were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the positive expressions of BDNF and NGF were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results:Compared with the control group, the rats in the model group showed obvious symptoms of craniocerebral injury at 1 day after injury, which was manifested as significantly increased NSS score, up-regulated mRNA expressions of Wnt3a and β-catenin, and increased positive expressions of BDNF and NGF, which indicated that the sTBI rat model was successfully prepared and presented a certain self-repair ability with the extension of time. Compared with the model group, NSS scores in the XF group, TQ group and BY group significantly decreased at 1 day after injury (6.6±1.5, 6.1±2.0, 5.7±2.4 vs. 9.4±1.5, all P < 0.05); however, the NSS scores in the BP group and TH group decreased significantly at 7 days after injury, and the NSS scores in the TQ group and BY group decreased more significantly than those in other drug groups. Compared with the model group, mRNA expressions of Wnt3a and β-catenin in the hippocampus of the BP group increased significantly at 1 day and 3 days after injury, respectively, and continued to increase with the extension of time. The mRNA expression levels of Wnt3a and β-catenin in the four groups of Huoxue Huayu decoction fluctuated to varying degrees from 1 day to 3 days after injury, but they were significantly higher than those in the model group at 7 days after injury, and the increase was more significant in the BY group [Wnt3a mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 154.7±4.1 vs. 17.4±1.0, β-catenin mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 17.05±0.45 vs. 2.74±0.13, both P < 0.05], and the second was the TQ group [Wnt3a mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 126.6±2.8 vs. 17.4±1.0, β-catenin mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 8.70±1.19 vs. 2.74±0.13, both P < 0.05]. Compared with the model group, the positive expressions of BDNF and NGF in the BP group increased significantly at 1 day after injury, but decreased after 3 days after peak. The positive expressions of BDNF and NGF in the four Huoxue Huayu decoction groups fluctuated to varying degrees from 1 day to 3 days after injury, but they were significantly higher than those in the model group at 7 days after injury, among which, the positive expressions of BDNF and NGF in the TQ group and BY group were significantly higher than those in the model group at 1 day after injury [BDNF positive cells (cells/MP): 56.4±6.2, 61.6±7.0 vs. 37.4±2.0, NGF positive cells (cells/MP): 58.4±5.0, 62.4±4.4 vs. 53.4±3.6, all P < 0.05], the increase amplitude at 7 days after injury was more significant than those in the other groups. Conclusions:Taohong Siwu decoction, Xuefu Zhuyu decoction, Tongqiao Huoxue decoction and Buyang Huanwu decoction have curative effect on the nerve regeneration and repair of rats with sTBI at acute stage, but the intensity of the effect is different. Buyang Huanwu decoction and Tongqiao Huoxue decoction have a fast and better effect.

To prepare recombinant human retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) by using the baculovirus expression system and to detect its immunogenicity, the fusion DNA fragment of secretory signal peptide SS64 and human RBP4 gene was subcloned into a baculovirus transfer vector pFastBac-dual(pFBd), and the corresponding recombinant transfer plasmid was transformed into E. coli strain DH10bac, after transposition recombinant shuttle bacmid was screened out. The logarithmic phase Sf9 cells were transfected with the recombinant bacmid and then the recombinant baculovirus containing hRBP4 expression box were generated. After amplification of recombinant baculovirus, the recombinant baculovirus seeds were obtained. To express human RBP4, logarithmic phase Sf9 cells were infected with the virus seeds and SDS-PAGE and Western blotting were used to detect and identify the expression. Finally, to prepare a batch of RBP4 protein, logarithmic phase Sf9 cells in suspension culture were infected with recombinant baculovirus seeds and the supernatant was harvested after 120 hours post-infection for purification. Finally for preparation of polyclonal antibody and evaluation of immunogenicity, the recombinant hRBP4 from insect cells and from E. coli were immunized rabbits. Restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed that the recombinant baculovirus transfer plasmid was constructed correctly, and subsequently recombinant RBP4-bacmid was generated successfully. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis suggested that human RBP4 protein was highly expressed in Sf9 cells with the molecular weight of approximately 23 kDa. The recombinant RBP4 protein could be secreted into the medium efficiently, and the expression level was calculated amount of 100 mg/L. Finally the rabbit antiserum was harvested after recombinant RBP4 immunization, therein the titer of antiserum against baculovirus recombinant RBP4 is 1:100 000 whereas the titer of antiserum against E. coli recombinant RBP4 is only 1:10 000. Overall, human RBP4 was high efficiently expressed successfully with good antigenicity in baculovirus system, and high affinity antiserum was obtained. A solid foundation was laid for the next step of the preparation of human serum RBP4 detection kit.
