Objective To observe the effect of Niaoduqing granules on chronic renal failure in patients with blood lipid and blood homocysteine.Methods Patients with chronic renal failure were divided into observation group and control group by number table method,two groups of patients were both given low salt,low fat and high quality low protein diet,controlling blood pressure and blood sugar,correcting anemia,correcting calcium and phosphorus meta-bolic disorders,correcting of acidosis,while patients with combined infection were given positive anti infection treat-ment.Observation group was treated with Niaoduqing granules on that basis.The changes of triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol( HDL-C) ,total cholesterol( CHO) ,low-density lipoprotein( LDL-C) ,and plasma homocysteine( Hcy) were observed before and after treatment in the two groups.Results After treatment,CHO,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C, Hcy in the control group were respectively (4.83 ±0.22)mmol/L,(2.21 ±0.30)mmol/L,(0.69 ±0.11)mmol/L, (4.30 ±0.32)mmol/L,(24.35 ±7.05)μmol/L,that threre was no significant changes before and after treatment.In the observation group,TG,LDL-C,Hcy were (1.38 ±0.18)mmol/L,(3.29 ±0.13)mmol/L,(14.54 ±3.56)umol/L respectively after treatment,and which were significantly lower than that before treatment ( t=1.45,2.13,4.28,all P<0.05).HDL-C (1.42 ±0.31)mmol/L,were significantly increased after treatment as compared with that before treatment (t=3.88,P<0.05).The difference of Hcy,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C and CHO after treatment was statisti-cally significantin between the two groups (t=1.34,2.08,1.10,3.88,all P<0.05).Conclusion Niaoduqing gran-ules can improve lipid metabolism disorders in patients with chronic renal failure,and can reduce the serum homocys-teine.

Objective To investigate the role of microglial activation in spinal cord in a rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR) .Methods Seventy-two male SD rats weighing 200-250 g in which intrathecal (IT) catheter was successfully inserted were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 24 each) : group sham operation; group SMIR and group SMIR + FT minocycline (a specific microglia inhibitor) . The rat model of persistent postoperative pain evoked by SMIR was established according to the method described by Flatters. Pain behavior was assessed by paw mechanical withdrawal threshold ( MWT) to von Frey filament stimulation at 1 day before (T0,baseline) and 3, 7, 12, 22 and 32 days after operation (T1-5,) . Four animals were sacrificed at each time point in each group for detection of the expression of Iba-1 (a specific marker of microglia) in the spinal dorsal horn by immunofluorescence and the microglia was counted. Results MWT was significantly decreasedat T1-4, while the expression of Iba-1 and microglia counts in the spinal dorsal horn were significantly increased at T1, 2 by SMIR in group Ⅱ. IT minocycline significantly attenuated the hyperalgesia induced by SMIR at T1-4 and decreased Iba-1 expression and microglia counts at T1,2 in group Ⅲ. Conclusion Microglial activation in the spinal cord plays an important role in the development and maintenance of SMIR-evoked persistent postoperative pain in rats.

Objective To investigate whether endogenous retinal stem cells can be activated in the retina of Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats during the onset and development of retinitis pigmentosa. Methods The RCS-p+ rats with inherited retinal dystrophy were divided into 3 groups: the initial stage group (15-day RCS rats), the mid-stage group (30-day RCS rats) and the advanced stage group (90-day RCS rats) according to the severity of degeneration (n=4 in each group). RCS-rdy+p+ rats without retinal degeneration served as controls, and divide into three groups (15-day control, 30-day control, 90-day control) matched with RCS-p+ rats. A transcription factor (Chx10) expressed by embryonic retinal progenitors was detected using immunofluorescence and Western blotting. Results All of the retinal layers in the three control groups and in the 15-day RCS rats did not express Chx10, while the positive expression was observed in the photoreceptor layers of the 30-day and 90-day RCS rats. Chx10 protein could be detected by Western blotting in all RCS groups, but expressed higher in 30-day RCS rats than in 15-day and 90-day RCS rats (P

Objective To explore the characteristics of DNA antigen deposited in the skin lesions of patients with lupus erythematosus (LE). Methods Thirty-two LE skin specimens were collected. The deposited immune complexes were obtained by cryoprecipitation methods. Then the samples were digested by protease. Finally DNA was extracted with phenol and chloroform. The size of DNA fragments was detected on agarose gel electrophoresis. Ten kinds of probes were used to analyze the origin of these DNA molecules by dot hybridization. Results DNA fragments were successfully isolated from 27 skin specimens with four kinds of different sizes including band-I (20 000 bp), band-Ⅱ (1 300 bp), band-Ⅲ (800-900 bp) and band-Ⅳ (100-120 bp). In 15 specimens most of DNA was identified as band-I. In 2 specimens band-Ⅰ, -Ⅱ and -Ⅲ were all noticed, while all four bands were detected in 10 specimens. There was a positive correlation between small-sized fragments (100-200 bp) and disease activity (P

Objective To investigate the effects of [Gly14]-Humanin(HNG) on SOD, MDA, GSH and cell apopto?sis in a rat model of secondary brain injury. Methods One hundred thirty-five adult and healthy male rats were random?ly divided into 3 groups: sham model group (n=45), vehicle control group (n=45) and HNG group (n=45). Secondary brain injury was induced in the vehicle control and HNG groups using improved Feeney method. Vehicle control received abdominal injections of Sodium Chloride Injection (2 ml/kg) whereas the HNG group received abdominal injections of HNG (2 μL/kg) immediately and 24 h after injury. Each group was divided into three subgroups (n=15 rats per each group) by sacrificed time including 1 h, 3 d, and 7 d after injury. The expression levels of SOD, MDA and GSH of the brain tissue were analyzed and the cell apoptosis was examined using TUNEL method after brain contusion. Results MDA and cell apoptosis around the lesion started to increased at 1h, reached a peak at 3d and then gradually subsided but still remained a higher level at 7 d than 1 h. HNG significantly attenuated brain injury-induced increase in MDA and apopto?sis at all time points (P<0.05). By contrast, SOD started to decrease at 1h, reached the lowest point at 3 d and then gradu? ally recovered but still remained a lower level at 7 d than 1 h. HNG significantly mitigated brain injury-induced increase in MDA and apoptosis at all time points (P<0.05). The time course of GSH expression followed a pattern similar to that of MDA. MDA expression was strongly positive correlated with the number of cell apoptosis (r=0.720, P<0.05), strongly neg?ative correlated with the level of SOD and GSH(r=-0.702, P<0.05;r=-0.674, P<0.05). Conclusions After brain injury, HNG inhibits oxidative stress levels and reduces apoptosis, thereby mitigating secondary brain injury.
