Aim This study was to investigate the effect of isoflurane on contracted renal arterial smooth muscle and to determine whether the MAPK pathway is involved in the intracellular signaling. Methods ①Rabbit renal arterial strips were treated with sapoin to make the sarcolemma permeability. And the calcium stored in reticulum (SR) was released using caffeine.Stead state tense was obtained when the strips were soaked in submaximal calcium concentration buffer.Then the submaximal calcium concentration buffer with various concentration isoflurane was admininstered,the change of tensions was detected.②primary renal arterial smooth muscle cells were cultured and treated with different concentration of isoflurane for different duration,and the levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in different groups were detected with western blot.Result Isoflurane all caused rabbit renal artery strips further contraction after they have reached equilibrium,and the tension altitude was isoflurane concentration dependent. Isoflurane upregulates ERK1/2 (p44/42) phosphorylation in cultured renal arterial smooth muscle cells in a concentration and time depend way.Conclusion Isoflurane can upregulates the tension of contracted renal arterial smooth muscle. And it may involve the activation of p44/42 MAPK pathway.

Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely used all around the country.But there are still many misconceptions on the understanding of the PBL teaching in the process of teaching practice,which reduces the PBL teaching effect.For example,it is a misunderstanding to put problems to asking for answers to the questions other than solving the problems and to put case-based learning (CBL) and team-based learning (TBL) to PBL.In this paper,we combined the references with the practice experience to compare PBL with CBL,TBL and flipped instruction in both features and connotations based on the brief discussion of the problem in PBL teaching,to further strengthen the understanding of the PBL teaching.It is only the use of clinical cases to guide students to find the defects of the knowledge required for solving the problem and the process of acquiring the scientific knowledge which is implicit in the problem through the students' autonomous learning that can be called as PBL teaching.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of different kinds of insulin combined with Metformin in the treatment of T2DM.Methods 120 T2DM patients were selected and divided into three groups according to different therapies of reducing blood sugar with 40 cases in each group.Group A was treated with insulin glargine combined with Metformin;Group B with insulin detemir combined with Metformin and Group C with protamine zinc insulin combined with Metformin .The time for reaching the standards of blood sugar and the corresponding usage amount of insulin of three groups were observed;After 6 months, the three groups were com-pared in terms of FBG, PBG HbA1c, HOMA-IR, TC, TG and LDL-C.Meanwhile, the incidence rate of hypoglycemia after treat-ment was observed.Results Time for reaching the standards of blood sugar in Group A, Group B and Group C was (6.9 ±2.3)d, (4.1 ±3.0)d and (3.8 ±1.5)d, respectively;the corresponding dosages of insulin of the three groups was (19.0 ±7.8)U, (12.1 ±5.9)U and (11.9 ±5.3)U, respectively, with significant difference between Group A and Groups C, D (p<0.05) and insignifi-cant difference between Group B and Group C (p>0.05).After 6 months, FBG, PBG, HbA1c, HOMA-IR in Group B, Group C and Group A were significantly reduced (p<0.05);with insignificance between Group B and Group C (p>0.05).6 months follow-ing the treatment, TC, TG and LDL-C in Group B, Group C and Group A were significantly different (p<0.05), with insignificant difference between Group B and Group C (p<0.05).The incidence rate of hypoglycemia in Group A, Group B and Group C was 22.5%, 20.0% and 5.0%, respectively, with those in Group B and Group C significantly lower than Group A (p<0.05) and in-significant difference between Group B and Group C (p>0.05).Conclusion The insulin detemir and protamine zinc insulin com-bined with Metformin has a better clinical efficacy in the treatment of T2DM.It can promptly control the blood sugar level and lead to a lower incidence rate of hypoglycemia.Therefore it is worthy of promotion.

BACKGROUND:In high-intensity exhaustive exercise process, the body must bear the exercise intensity decreasing splanchnic blood flow“ischemia”, at the same time, along with the movement of energy and material consumption, metabolite accumulation and oxidative stress in the body cause pathological damage, leading to a decline in exercise capacity. Thus, what is the impact on kidney filtration barrier? How to adapt to the change of renal tissue? Houttuynia cordata has the functions of heat clearing and detoxifying, dieresis for treating strangurtia, hemostatic, expel ing phlegm to arrest coughing and analgesia, if it has a protective effect on the renal injury caused by acute exhaustive exercise and its mechanism has not been reported in the literature. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of acute exhaustive exercise on kidney filtration barrier in rats and the intervention effect of Houttuynia cordata.METHODS:After resting and watching for 3 days, Sprague-Dawley rats received adaptive running for 15 minutes at a speed of 10 m/min on a 0° treadmil . A total of 24 rats, which can finish the running, were selected. They were divided into normal control group, exhaustive exercise group and dosed exhaustive exercise group according to the weight of layer (n=8). Rats in the exhaustive exercise group and dosed exhaustive exercise group on the 10° treadmil received once exhaustive exercise. Dosed exhaustive exercise group received intraperitoneal injection of sodium houttuyfonate 10 mL/kg at 30 minutes before exercises. The normal control group did not do any exercise. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal control group, serum urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, urine protein content, malondialdehyde concentration, renal cellapoptosis and apoptosis index were significantly increased, but nitric oxide content and nitric oxide synthase activity in the renal tissue were significantly deceased in the exhaustive exercise group (P<0.05 or 0.01). Glomerular filtration epithelial cells, the kidney filtration barrier of basement membrane and podocyte damage were obvious, showing abundant cellapoptosis, occasional y necrosis. Compared with the exhaustive exercise group, urine protein content, serum creatinine, malondialdehyde concentration, renal cellapoptosis and apoptosis index were significantly reduced, but nitric oxide content and nitric oxide synthase activity were significantly increased in the dosed exhaustive exercise group (P<0.05). No obvious pathological changes were detected, but apoptosis was visible. These findings confirmed that houttuynine made a reduction in renal cellinjury induced by exhaustive exercise and possibly significantly reduced apoptosis, increased nitric oxide synthase content, decreased malonaldehyde, and apparently increased superoxide dismutase activity, and final y protected injured renal tissue induced by exhaustive exercise.
