Objective To investigate the effect of urinary kallidinogenase on serum concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (H2S),neuron-specific enolase (NSE),and S100β in patients with cerebral infarction (CI).Methods From June 2011 to June 2014,80 patients with CI were chosen as study objectives.All patients were divided into two groups:40 patients in study group (urinary kallidinogenase group),and 40 patients in control group.The death rate,the rate of complication and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) were compared between two groups.The concentrations of H2S,NSE,and S100βwas compared between two groups.Results In study group,the death rate was 5.00％ (2/40),the rate of complication was 22.50％ (9/40);in control group,the death rate was 12.50％ (5/40),the rate of complication was 15.00％ (6/40);and no significant significance was found between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The NIHSS was (11.2 ± 3.2) in the study group,and (15.7 ± 2.7) in the control group,with statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the concentrations of H2 S,NSE,and S100β of two groups were decreased significantly (P ＜0.05).At 1w,2w,and 3w,the concentrations of H2S,NSE and S100βhad statistically significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Urinary kallidinogenase has a cerebral protective effect,which can decrease the concentration of H2S,and increase the concentrations of NSE and S100βin CI patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether AN69 ST membrane would prolong filter lifetime in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) without anticoagulation in patients with high risk of bleeding.Methods A single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind control trial with crossover design was conducted. From March 1st to December 31st in 2013, patients who were admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University meeting CRRT treatment indications, but could not receive systemic anticoagulation because of high risk of bleeding were studied. The selected patients were randomly divided into two groups according to a random number table, and four filters consisting of two AN69 ST100 membrane filters (A) and two traditional AN69 M100 membrane filters (B) were used for them. GroupⅠ with the filter order of A-B-A-B, and groupⅡ with the order of B-A-B-A. The clinical data of patients was recorded in detail, and conventional AN69 ST and AN69 membrane filter lifetime, their influence on coagulability, and the incidence of bleeding complications were compared.Results Seventeen patients were enrolled, with 10 in groupⅠ, and 7 in groupⅡ. The basic medical characteristics including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APAECHⅡ) score, sequential organ failure score (SOFA), Acute Renal Injury Network (AKIN) stage, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), platelet count (PLT), and use of mechanical ventilation were not significantly different between two groups. But the use of vasoactive drug was more frequent in groupⅡcompared with that of groupⅠ[100.0% (7/7) vs. 30.0% (3/10),χ2 = 8.330,P = 0.010]. AN69 ST filter lifetime (n =34) was (15.92±2.10) hours, there was no statistically significant difference compared with that of AN69 membrane (t = 0.088,P = 0.942), filter lifetime of which (n = 34) was (16.12±1.38) hours. It was also found by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis that there was no significant difference between the two membrane filter lifetime (χ2=1.589,P =0.208). Logistic regression analysis showed that the life of the first filter was not correlated with coagulation indicators, including APTT, PT, INR, and PLT [APTT: odds ratio (OR) = 0.977, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.892-1.071, P = 0.623; PT:OR = 1.001, 95%CI = 0.901-1.109,P = 0.988; INR:OR = 1.078, 95%CI = 0.348-3.340,P = 0.896;PLT:OR = 0.996, 95%CI = 0.974-1.019,P = 0.735]. The application rate of vasoactive drugs, which was different between two groups for basic medical indications showed no effect on filter life time (OR = 2.541, 95%CI = 0.239-26.955,P = 0.439). Reasons of clotting in filters were also analyzed, and it was found that blood coagulation in the filter ranked the top (88.2%), and the other reasons were catheter-related problems, death, and unscheduled transport. No difference in blood coagulation function was found in both groups after treatment for 12 hours, and there was no bleeding complication.ConclusionDuring the CRRT without systemic anticoagulant, both surface-treatment with polyethyleneimine AN69 and AN69 ST membrane cannot prolong filter lifetime.

Objective Matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) has been shown to be highly associated with atherosclerosis.Recent studies showed that levels of MMP-10 were elevated in infarcted tissues in acute ischemic stoke.However,serum levels of MMP-10 in patients with acute ischemic stroke have never been studied previously.This study aims to investigate the serum levels of MMP-10 in patients with acute ischemic stroke,and evaluate the association of serum levels of MMP-10 with stroke subtypes based on Trial of Org 10 172 in acute stroke treatment classifications,the severity of stroke,risk factors and carotid artery plaque.Methods The circulating levels of MMP-10 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay in 194 subjects,including 109 patients who were diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke in the Department of Neurology,Shengjing Hospital,China Medical University from April to December 2012,and the 85 healthy controls.Results Patients with acute ischemic stroke had higher serum levels of MMP-10 compared with healthy controls (6.59 (6.07,7.31) μg/L vs 5.16 (3.87,5.94) μg/L,Z =8.33,P ＜ 0.01).NIHSS score had positive correlation with serum levels of MMP-10 (r =0.204,P =0.037).Classified by risk factors,we compared the MMP-10 levels of subsets,and results displayed that statistically significant difference existed between dyslipidemia subset and non-dyslipidemia subset (Z =2.07,P =0.042).MMP-10 levels had positive correlation with serum levels of LDL-cholesterol (r =0.248,P =0.040),but negative correlation with thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI;r =-0.208,P =0.030).The subset with unstable plaques had higher MMP-10 levels than that with stable plaque (6.62 (6.13,7.36) μg/L) vs 6.10 (6.00,6.46) μg/L,Z =2.12,P =0.034),implying the relationship of MMP-10 and atherosclerosis.Conclusions Patients with acute ischemic stroke have higher serum levels of MMP-10 compared with the healthy controls,and MMP-10 levels have positive correlation with the severity of stroke.MMP-10 is associated with the subtypes of stroke classified by risk factors,and dyslipidemia subset has higher levels of MMP-10 than that of non-dyslipidemia subset.MMP-10 has positive correlation with LDL-cholesterol,but negative correlation with TAFI.MMP-10 may be involved in the process of formation and disruption of unstable plaques,which contribute to the stenosis of arteries and onset of acute ischemic stroke.

Objective: To evaluate the intervention effect of clinical pharmacists in hypertension chronic disease management. Methods:All the patients with hypertensive chronic diseases from Ziyang community, Xingan Street, Beilun district were involved in the study. Combined with community doctors, clinical pharmacists provided pharmaceutical care for the patients, such as regular face-to-face medication guide, telephone communication, home follow-up, special lectures on health and so on. The cognitive level, blood pressure control level and medication compliance were statistically analyzed and compared before and after the pharmacy intervention. Results:After the intervention of clinical pharmacists, the level of hypertension cognition and the level of antihypertensive drug under-standingof the patients was improved significantly (P<0. 05 or 0. 01), the level of blood pressure control and medication compliance of the patients were improved significantly (P<0. 01), and unscheduled outpatient rate, emergency rate, hospitalization rate and fre-quency were decreased (P<0. 05 or 0. 01). Conclusion: Pharmacy intervention carried out by clinical pharmacists for the patients with hypertension chronic diseases can provide reasonable medication security and improve the quality of life, and the pharmacy inter-vention mode for the hypertension chronic disease management is worthy of promotion.

Aim To establish an in vitro early drug cardiac tox-icity evaluation method by human embryonic stem cells derived cardiomyocytes ( hESC-CM) and real-time cell analysis Cardio (RTCA Cardio) system. Method The hESC-CM were cultured at RTCA Cardio E-Plate 96. Impedance signals from hESC-CM were analyzed for beating rate, contraction amplitude and beating rhythm irregularity to determine the optimum inoculation density and detection duration. Based on this, we used 0. 1 % DMSO to be the solvent and quinidine (0. 2, 0. 78, 3. 13, 12. 5, 50 and 100 μmol·L - 1 ) known as affecting cardiac activity to validate this method. Result The results revealed no significant changes in the cell index (CI), transient pulse patterns, beating rate and amplitude of hESC-CM. Quinidine will affect the CI and transi-ent pulse patterns of hESC-CM and decrease the beating rate and amplitude of hESC-CM when its concentration ≥3. 13 μmol · L - 1 . And this effect is concentration-dependent, the higher the concentration,the more time they need to recover beating and the more significant the beating rate and amplitude inhibition of quinidine on hESC-CM. Conclusion The method established by hESC-CM and RTCA Cardio system can detect the effect of quinidine on the contraction of hESC-CM, and this indicates that this method has the potential to be an attractive high-throughput tool for screening potential drugs in early evaluation of drug car-diotoxicity.

AIM: In order to search carrier material and better tissue culture method, the morphology and structure of the cultured cat corneal endothelium was observed. METHODS: The cat corneal endothelial cells were seeded on the Descemet's membrane of the dehydrated swine corneal stroma, and then cultured in the medium with epidermal growth factor and laminin for 7 days. The morphology and structure of reconstructed tissue was tested by the inverted microscope and the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: As shown by the morphological observations, the cultured cat corneal endothelial cells formed an integrated membrane, and attached to the Descemet's membrane, which was similar to the nature tissue. The cells connected tightly to each other, and some of them arranged in hexagon approximately. CONCLUSION: The cat corneal endothelial cells could be rebuilt on the carrier of the dehydrated swine corneal stroma successfully, which is similar to the nature tissue.
