Objective To compare the different effects of endurance and exhaustive exercises on hepcidin in the blood and liver,and determine the changes of related indexes about iron metabolism and hypoxia response,and of inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors.Methods Thiry female Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group (n=10),an endurance exercise group (n=10) and an exhaustive exercise group (n=10).Then 4 weeks of endurance and exhaustive treadmill training were given to different exercise groups respectively.Blood samples were collected,the routine indexes of the whole blood,and the serum indexes about iron metabolism,hypoxia response,inflammatory and antimicrobial activity factors were measured.Meanwhile,liver samples were fixed,embedded and sliced,and the expression of hepcidin,hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α and nuclear factor of kappa b (NF-κB) of different groups were measured using the immunochemistry staining.Results Compared with the control group,after 4-week endurance exercises,there was significant increase in the concentration of erythropoietin (EPO),but significant differences in the level of serum hepcidin and interleukin 6 (IL-6).However,after 4 weeks of exhaustive exercise,significant increase was observed in the level of hepcidin and the expression of HIF-1α in the serum and liver,as well as the serum interleukin 1 (IL-1),IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α and C reactive protein,but significant decrease was found in the concentration of serum EPO and the level of serum TF and sTFR compared to the control group.Moreover,there was significant increase in the level of toll-like receptor 4 and NF-κB,which is correlated with the antimicrobial peptide activity of hepcidin compared between the exhaustive and control group.Conclusions Four-week endurance exercise down-regulates the level of serum hepcidin,while 4-week exhaustive exercise increases the hepcidin level in the serum and liver significantly.Therefore,different exercises can result in totally different effect on the hepcidin level.

Objective: To review the pathological characteristics of the lungs in mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension, and provide evidence for clinical treatment. Methods: Pulmonary pathological changes in 37 patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis and secondary pulmonary hypertension received mitral valve replacement. Six patients of aortic valve disease without pulmonary hypertension received aortic valve replacement and were taken as control. The lung biopsies were obtained from the middle lobe of the right lung in operation. Pulmonary muscular arteries were studied quantitatively and qualitatively. Results: All patients with mitral stenosis showed various degrees of vascular and other associated parenchymal changes. The structural changes in the muscular arteries was graded according to the degree of MT/R. There was 81% of patients with mitral stenosis in mild to moderate degree. Conclusion: The pulmonary vascular pathological changes of patients who have rheumatic mitral stenosis with pulmonary hypertension are related to the level of preoperative pulmonary artery pressure. And in most of them the pulmonary vascular pathological changes are in mild to moderate degree.

Objective To verify the antibacterial activity of the conserved domain derived from the novel human antimicrobial peptide-hGlyrichin .Methods Bioinformative analysis was performed and two peptides derived from hGlyrichin were synthesized which contained the conserved domain .Results Analysis of antimicrobial activities showed that these two peptides exhibited strong antibacterial activity which was inversely proportional to the length of the peptide within an eligible range.Despite the effective inhibition and killing of bacteria , the synthetic peptide segments had no hemolytic effect on human red blood cells .Conclusion These results indicate that a conserved domain exists in hGlyrichin , and that the peptides which contain this domain have strong antibacterial activity but are not toxic to human somatic cells .

Objective To verify the efficiency and stability of hydrogen-rich water preparation with hydrogen-rich rods. Methods ①Seven firenew hydrogen-rich rods were separately placed in seven plastic bottles, each filled with distilled water and soaked for 6 h, before the hydrogen concentration of the water was measured.This process was repeated 10 times.②After the hydrogen-rich rods with the strongest and weakest hydrogen product capacity were removed, the remaining 5 hydrogen-rich rods were placed separately into 5 plastic bottles filled with distilled water,put in a water bath pot at 20,40 and 60℃, respectively, and kept for 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 h, respectively.Then, the hydrogen concentration, oxidation-reduction potential(ORP),and dissolved oxygen concentration(DO) were measured at various time points.③In order to determine the hydrogen emission rate from the hydrogen-rich water, the hydrogen-rich rods were constantly kept in some samples and the others were removed.All the sample bottle caps were kept open during the experimental process, and the hydrogen concentration was measured at such time points as 0, 10 and 30 min, 1, 2, 5, 12, 24, 30, 48 and 72 h, respectively.Results ①The hydrogen-rich rods used in this study could well meet the requirements.②When the environment temperature was kept constant, the hydrogen concentration of the water was increased with the soaking time of the hydrogen-rich rods, and the ORP of the water was reduced.However, the DO of the water was decreased with the rise of the environment temperature.③When the hydrogen-rich water was kept in opened plastic bottles with a 25 mm oral diameter, the hydrogen concentration of the samples with the hydrogen-rich rods reserved was almost about 0.50 ppm until 72 h, and that of the others was reduced to almost 0 ppm.Conclusion Our results demonstrate that the hydrogen-rich rods test is a simple and effective method for preparing hydrogen-rich water, which will be an valuable and useful method for using hydrogen-rich water in health promotion and prevention of chronic diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of genitourinary invasion by malignant lymphoma.Methods Three cases of genitourinary invasion by malignant lymphoma were reported.Case 1,a 68-year-old man,complained of right flank malaise for 1 month.CT showed a soft tissue shadow of 4.0 cm?5.5 cm with homogeneous density at right renal hilus,and diffusely thickened right greater psoas muscle at the level from lower pole of the kidney to internal iliac muscle with low-density soft tissue shadow inside.Case 2,a 72-year-old man,presented with distended left leg for 2 weeks.CT indicated left seminal vesicle mass with soft tissue density of 2.5 cm in diameter,and a soft tissue mass of 6.5 cm?4.5 cm at the left iliac artery furcation.Case 3,a 48-year-old woman,complained of fever for 1 month.CT showed well-defined,solid masses of 8.0 cm?6.0 cm and 7.0 cm?6.5 cm,respectively,in diameter with inhomogeneous density at bilateral adrenal gland areas.The incidence,clinical features,prognosis and surgical treatment of this disease were summarized in combination with review of the literature.Results All 3 cases underwent operations.The primary foci originated from pelvic or retroperitoneal lymph nodes.The kidney,seminal vesicle and adrenal gland were involved in each of the 3 cases.The pathological types were all non-Hodgkin diffusive big B cell lymphoma.One case died 2 months after operation.The other 2 received CHOP chemotherapy after operation,and were followed for 4 months and 2 years,respectively.They were both alive with no recurrence at last time of the follow-up.Conclusions Genitourinary invasion by malignant lymphoma is an uncommon disease with atypical clinical presentations and poor prognosis.Surgical treatment has little effect,while radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be the first choice.Explorative surgery has positive significance for definite diagnosis.
