The dynamica changes of the activity of serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF)was determined in 24 patients with severe burns,and the changes of cardiac and hepatic enzymes,plasma lactate and glucose,serum protein,WBC count etc were determined as well.It was found that TNF was produced in large amounts to damage and degenerate the vascular endothe-lium.Consequently intravascular emboli were more liable to occur to result in tissue hypoxia.TNF could also induce the release of polymorphonuclear neutrophils(PMNs)from the bone marrow.PMNs by chemotacsis accumulated in the inflammatory tissues to produce large amounts of toxic products,which could damage the cells and tissues directly to result in multiple organ failure.Furthermore,TNF,through the mediation of pyrogen and cachectin,could induce febrile reaction,exhaustion of glycogen reserve,and increment of muscular protein catabolism.Eventually the energy consumption of the host would be incresed and his defensive function weakened.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of self-management anticoagulation treatment for low pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) outpatient with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).Methods Sixty-eight patients with APE of PESI grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ were divide into inpatient group and outpatient group with 34 cases each by random digits table.All the patients were treated with low molecular heparin followed by oral anticoagulation,and self-management was used in outpatient group.The efficacy was observed within 14 days and 3 months.The efficacy outcome included recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE),standardization time of international normalized ratio (INR),VTE-related emergency department visit times,bleeding events and total mortality.Results There were 2 cases(5.9％,2/34) in inpatient group and 1 case (2.9％,1/34) in outpatient group with recurrent VTE,and there was no statistical significance between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Standardization time of INR in inpatient group [(8.5 ± 2.9) d] was shorter than that in outpatient group [(16.1 ± 4.4) d],and there was significant difference (P＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in the VTE-related emergency department visit times between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was 1 case with major bleeding and 1 death respectively in outpatient group.Conclusion It is effective and safe to give early self-management anticoagulation treatment to APE patients with PESI grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ,which could shorten time spending in hospital and release burden both physically and mentally.

Objective To investigate the cognitive behavioral characteristic longitudinally of the patients after subcortical infarction engaged in feature and binding working memory tasks.Methods The behavioral performances were recorded from 28 patients after subcortical infarction at the 1 st week (W1),3 rd moth (M3) and 6th month (M6) while performing color,location,and color-location binding delayed match-to-sample working memory task.25 healthy volunteers(controls) were investigated once using the same task protocol during the study period.Computer recorded the behavior reaction time and accuracy.Single factor variant analysis of repeated measurement was adopted.Results The accuracy of three memory tasks of M3 ((64.92 ± 5.47) ％ ; (92.88 ± 2.98) ％ ;(82.35 ±7.44)％) was improved than that of W1 ((61.06 ±7.78)％; (90.59 ±2.95)％; (77.06 ±5.58) ％) and the difference had statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).But the reaction time of M3 ((868.31 ±118.91)ms; (833.37 ± 120.99) ms; (918.72 ± 101.28) ms) was shortened than that of W1 ((914.02 ±110.53) ms; (859.89 ± 139.94) ms; (1150.17 ± 92.02) ms) and the difference also had statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In the location-memory task,the correct rate of M6 ((93.91 ± 2.86) ％) was improved than that of M3 ((92.88 ± 2.98) ％) and the reaction time of M6 ((813.24 ± 119.54) ms) was shortened than M3 ((833.37 ±120.99) ms).M6 and M3 to be compared in the color memory task,the correct rate ((64.50 ± 4.49) ％ ; (64.92 ± 5.47) ％) and the reaction time ((866.47 ± 123.87) ms; (868.31 ± 118.91) ms) had no significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).But in the color-location binding task,the correct rate of M6 ((78.49 ± 7.85) ％) and M3 ((82.35 ± 7.44)％) to be compared had significant decreased nearly the level ((77.06 ± 5.58)％) of the stroke beginning.All behavioral performances of patients were worse than that of control subjects except the compare result of location-memory task in M6((93.91 ± 2.86) ％ ; (813.24 ± 119.54) ms).Conclusion Feature memory and binding memory had been damaged in different degrees in the patient after subcortical infarction.The binding memory had the secondary damage what might be related to the secondary nerve fiber degeneration after infarction.

Objective Jizhipingchuan soft capsula is mainly used to treat acute bronchitis and acute attack of chronic bron-chitis.This paper investigate the antitussive, antiasthmatic and expectorant effects of Jizhipingchuan soft capsula according to its func-tions. Methods The antitussive effect of Jizhipingchuan soft capsula was observed in cough mouse model induced by ammonia and in guinea cough pig model induced by citric acid, and the latent period of asthma was observed in guinea pig induced by acetylcholine chloride and histamine phosphate.Its expectorant effect was evaluated by the excretion of phenol red in mice and the exudation phlegm in rats. Results Jizhipingchuan soft capsula could decrease the frequence of cough induced by ammonia in mice and induced by cit-ric acid in guinea pig.It could prolong the latent period of cough in guine pig and also prolong the latent period of asthma in guine pig induced by acetylcholine chloride and histamine phosphate.Jizhipingchuan soft capsula could significantly increase the amount of phe-nol red secreted in mice and the phlegm exudation of rats. Conclusion Jizhipingchuan soft capsula showed definite antitussive, an-tiasthmatic and expectorant effects.

Objective To study the effect of gallic acid isolated from Pu-erh Tea on the peroxisome proliferators activated receptors function.Method The appropriate concentration of gallic acid added to three cell models was decided to be 50 ?g/ ml,and the activity of gallic acid on peroxime prolipevators activated receptors PPAR?,PPAR?,PPAR? was studied.Results Gallic acid could activate PPAR?,as high as 2.436 fold and the effect corresponded to that of positive drug which value was 2.438.gallic acid had no effect on PPAR? and PPAR?.Conclusion Gallic acid in Pu-erh Tea had good activity on PPAR? and this could offer scientific basis for study of the anti-diabetes and anti-hyperlipidenmia mechanism of Pu-erh Tea.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of adrenomedullin (AM) on the cell-cell contact formation of podocytes and the possible mechanism.Methods Podocytes were treated with AM (10-7 mol/L),AM combined with a PKA inhibitor H89 (10-4 mol/L),and forskolin (10-5 mol/L) as positive control respectively for 12 hours.Immunofluorescent staining was applied to observe the distribution of cell adhesion molecules and actin-associated proteins.Western blotting assay was used to assess their protein levels.Rho GTPases activity was analyzed by GST-pull down assay and their protein levels were tested by Western blotting.Results AM induced the redistribution of adhesion molecules,actin-associated proteins as well as the F-actin at cell-cell contacts between podocytes.This effect was similar to that of forskolin and could be blocked by H89.The levels of those proteins did not change significantly (P ＞ 0.05).AM up-regulated the activities of RhoA,Rac1 and Cdc42 (P ＜ 0.05),which were partially blocked by H89.The protein levels of Rho GTPases showed no difference compared with the control (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions AM may promote cell-cell contact formation of podocytes,probably through enhancing the activity of Rho GTPases and then resulting in the redistribution of adhesion molecules,actin-associated proteins and F-actin,which is partially mediated through cAMP-PKA signaling pathway.
