Objective To investigate the significance of blood donation in preventing metabolic syndrome (MS)by analyzing the changes of the blood pressure and the related biochemical indexes before and after blood donation in the blood donors with high risk of MS.Methods The blood specimens of 102 blood donors,aged 45 -55 years old with the systolic blood pressure of 110 -140 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure of 75 -90 mmHg,the body mass index> 24 kg/m2 ,were selected as the subjects.The blood pressure,heart rate,iron reserves,blood glucose,blood lipids,and the other indicators were determined before blood donation. All the above indicators were tested again on 42 d after blood donation.Results The blood pressure,iron reserves,blood glucose and LDL/HDL ratio after donation showed significant changes compared with before blood donation(P <0.05 ).Conclusion The changes of the MS related blood indexes exist before and after blood donation,blood donation has a certain significance for preven-ting MS in the blood donors with high risk of MS.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of urinary leukotriene E4(LTE4) in children with respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) bronchiolitis.Methods Forty infants with bronchiolitis were enrolled for the identification of RSV-Ag from the nasopharyngeal secretions.Forty cases who were found to be positive of RSV were put into RSV bronchiolitis group.According to the severity of illness,the infants in RSV bronchiolitis group were separated into 2 subgroups:mild illness group (24 cases) and moderate illness group (16 cases).Thirty healthy children were chosen as healthy control group.Urine of the patients in RSV bronchiolitis group was collected in acute phase (on the 1st day) and recovery phase (on the 7th day after the admission).Urine of children in control group was collected .Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to assay the level of urinary LTE4.Results The levels of LTE4 in healthy control group (M,Q) were 1.28 pmol?mmol-1,1.72 pmol?mmol-1,while the levels of LTE4 in acute phase in RSV bronchiolitis group (M,Q were 30.52 pmol?mmol-1,23.56 pmol?mmol-1,and the levels of LTE4 in recovery phase in RSV bronchiolitis group (M,Q) were 3.98 pmol?mmol-1,3.43 pmol?mmol-1.Urinary LTE4 levels in acute phase in RSV bronchiolitis group were significantly higher than those in healthy control group (P

Objective To evaluate the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase Ⅱ alpha (CaMK Ⅱα) in the central nucleus of the amygdale (CeA) in fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia in rats and the relationship with miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs).Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 50-80 g,in which the CeA was successfully cannulated,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control 1 group (group C1),fentanylinduced hyperalgesia 1 group (group FIH1),KN92 group,and KN93 group.Normal saline was injected subcutaneously,and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was given into the amygdale in group C1.In group FIH1,fentanyl was injected subcutaneously (60 μg/kg per time,4 times in total,15-min interval,cumulative dose of 240 μg/kg) to establish the model of hyperalgesia.In KN92 and KN93 groups,KN92 and KN93 10 nmol were given into the CeA after establishing the model.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal threshold (TWT) were measured at 6 and 7 h after fentanyl or normal saline injection.Another 12 Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and randomly divided into either control 2 group (group C2) or fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia 2 group (group FIH2) using a random number table with 6 rats in each group.The brains were removed and sliced 12 h later,and the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs were recorded.KN93 10 nmol was then added to the artificial cerebral spinal fluid,and the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs were recorded by whole cell patch-clamp technique.Results Compared with group C 1,the MWT and TWT were significantly decreased at 6 h after fentanyl or normal saline injection in FIH1,KN92 and KN93 groups,and at 7 h after fentanyl or normal saline injection in FIH and KN92 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group FIH1,the MWT and TWT were significantly increased at 7 h after fentanyl or normal saline injection in group KN93 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in group KN92 (P＞0.05).Compared with group C2,the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs were significantly increased before administration of KN93 (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs after administration of KN93 in group FIH2 (P＞0.05).Compared with the value before KN93 administration,no significant change was found in the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs after administration of KN93 in group C2 (P＞0.05),and the frequency and amplitude of mEPSCs were significantly decreased after administration of KN93 in group FIH2 (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Activation of CaMK Ⅱ α in the CeA enhances synaptic excitation in neurons,which is involved in fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia in rats.

Objective To explore the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)in central nucleus of amygdala (CeA)in the mechanism of fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia (OIH)in rats. Methods Step 1:12 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 60-100 g,were randomly divided into OIH and Control group.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (PWT)and the thermal paw withdrawal latency (PWL)were tested at pre-and post-OIH induction.Then the level of p-ERK in the CeA was analyzed by Western blotting.Step 2:After successful induction of OIH and catheterization in CeA,another 30 SD male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 6 each):Group OIH;Group OIH+U0124;Group OIH+U0126(0.1 5 nmol);Group OIH+U0126(0.45 nmol)and Group OIH+U0126 (1.5 nmol),then 0.3 μl of DMSO,U0124 (1.5 nmol),U0126 (0.1 5 nmol,0.45 nmol,1.5 nmol)was given through the catheter separately.PWT and PWL were tested before cathe-terization,at pre-OIH induction,post-OIH induction and 0.5 h after CeA drug administration.After the last test of pain threshold,the rats were sacrificed and CeA tissues were sampled for analyzing the expression of p-ERK by western blot.Results In step 1 compared with control group,PWT and PWL of OIH group were sharply decreased post-OIH induction (P <0.05),concomitant increase of the expression of p-ERK in CeA in OIH group was also observed.In step 2,both PWT and PWL were sharply decreased post-OIH induction (P <0.05).Intra-CeA U0126 injection,but not U0124, reversed both behavioral hyperalgesia and molecular activation of ERK in CeA in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05).Conclusion ERK plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of fentanyl-induced hy-peralgesia.Targeting inhibition of ERK activation in CeA can alleviate fentanyl-induced hyperalgesia.

Objective Hyperglycemic clamp technique (HGCT) was performed to evaluate the effect of short-term intensive insulin therapy on the first and second-phase (1PH and 2PH) insulin secretion and maximum insulin secretion (MIS) in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics. Methods Twelve volunteers with normal glucose tolerance (NC group) and six newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics (DM group) were included and HGCT was performed to assess the function of pancreatic islet beta cell. Then HGCT was repeated in the 6 patients following two week intensive insulin therapy. Results The levels of secreted insulin in 1PH, 2PH and MIS were 257?36 mU/L, 63?5 mU/L and 80?5 mU/L in NC group respectively, and 95?19 mU/L, 34?9 mU/L and 39?12 mU/L in DM group respectively. 1PH insulin secretion was significantly improved in the diabetics following 2 week treatment compared with that before the treatment (135?27 mU/L vs 95?19 mU/L, P=0.01). The insulin secretions in 2PH and MIS were slightly increased (40?9 mU/L vs 34?9 mU/L, P=0.09, 46?11 mU/L vs 39?12 mU/L,P=0.08, respectively). Conclusions Short-term intensive insulin therapy can improve the insulin secretions significantly in 1PH and slightly in 2PH and MIS in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics.
