From a study of the experimental riboflavin depletion in rats, it was demonstrated that the activation coefficients (AC) of the blood glutath-ione reductase (BGR) could be used to assess the riboflavin nutritional status of the animal. One week after deficiency the AC values were elevated, while after repletion of riboflavin they returned to normal. The change of AC values appeared sooner than that of daily excretions of riboflavin in urine. So AC value of BGR seemed to be a sensitive index in detecting early riboflavin deficiency. The method of the determination of AC value of BGR was modified so that only 0.02 ml. of whole blood was needed. It is rather convenient when used in field nutritional surveys.

In simplifying the method of determination of activation coefficients (AC) of blood glutathione reductase (BGR), we used saponin solution to prepare blood hemolysate instead of repeated freezing and thawing, thus the time of estimation was shortened. 5, 5'-Dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) was used to determine the reduced glutathione (GSH), the end product of the NADPH-dependent glutathione reductase reaction on the substrate, oxidized glutathione (GSSG), by means of a photoelectric colorimeter instead of alloxan and an ultra-violet spectrophotometer. From the data obtained in animals and men, the AC values determined by the two methods actually showed no difference.50 male rats, weighing 65-75 grams, were divided from the same litters into 6 groups, namely, the deficient, 2, 5, 10, 30?g and the normal group. The experimental period was 9 weeks. According to the growth weights, the riboflavin contents of urine and liver of the animals, the riboflavin nutritional status of different groups was evaluated. Referring to the corresponding AC values of all groups at the 9th week, the standards of AC values for assessing ribcflavin nutriture could be defined as: 80 severely deficient.

Objective To explore the difference of male and female rats in establishing diabetic model by feeding lardy diet and intraperitoneally injecting a low dose streptozotocin(STZ).Methods Totally 184 male and female Wistar rats(each 92 rats) were induced to diabetes mellitus by feeding lardy diet and intraperitoneally injecting 25 mg/kg STZ for 5 weeks.For the 114 left living rats(70 females and 44 males),they were randomized into female high rosiglitazone group(n=23),male high rosiglitazone group(n=15),female low rosiglitazone group(n=23),male low rosiglitazone group(n=15),female model group(n=24),and male model group(n=14).Rosiglitazone at 2 or 0.5 mg/kg were intragastrically administered to corresponding rats once a day for 4 weeks.Another 8 health female and 8 health male rats receiving same volume solvent served as normal control.The body weight,taken food amount,fasting blood glucose,plasma insulin content and the morphology of the spleen were measured and examined to validate the animal models.Results Blood glucose,total plasma lipids and cholesterol of model rats were markedly increased after STZ injection.And there were some other symptoms of model rats,such as polyuria,polydipsia and polyphagia,which indicated that diabetes had been induced in the models.The male model rats had higher mortality,body weight,triglyceride level and lower plasma insulin than in female(P

Aim To study the effect of the total saponins of Rubus parvifolius(TSRP)on the intracellular free calcium levels in ischemic hippocampus neurons.Methods The cytosolic free calcium concentration in ischemic hippocampal neurons was measured by using Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent probe fluo-2/AM with a laser scanning confocal microscope.Results Application of TSRP inhibited free intracellular calcium in ischemic hippocampus neurons in a concentration-dependent manner.Conclusions These results suggest that TSRP might protect hippocampus neurons via attenuating calcium overload induced by ischemia.

Aim The potentiality as a differentiation inducer of the new steroidal drug(NSC67657) had been studied.Then the expression differences of protein between treated and untreated HL60 cell line could be analysed.Method Firstly,the expression patterns of C/EBP alpha gene and protein were observed between treated and untreated HL60 cell line.Then the proliferation of HL60 cell line could be investigated by MTT.At the same time cellular chemical staining could be employed to investigate which direction HL60 cell line would be induced by NSC67657.Then the flow cytometry(FCM) could be employed to detect the profile of differentiation of HL60 cell line induced in different time and at different drug concentrations,by which the most suitable drug concentration and inducing time could be found. Following that,the information of cellular cycle and ultramicrostructure could be analysed by FCM and electronmicro scope,by which whether the apoptosis had happened or not under the drug treatment could also be found. Finally,the protein of these two group HL60 cell lines could be separated by modified two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE).Results The expression of C/EBP alpha gene and protein could be promoted under the treatment of NSC67657.Then the proliferation of HL60 cell line was inhibited significantly.From cellular chemical staining,the monocytic differentiation could be easily found and the perfect inducing time and drug concentration were defined as 10 ?mol?L-1NSC67657 and constantly inducing HL60 cell line within 5 days.The cellular number of G0~G1 was increased and hardly any apoptosis which might be happened during drug inducing ability could be seen.The protein of HL60 cell lines were separated by modified 2-DE technology.Then there were 14 protein spots which could only be found in the differentiated gels,on the other hand,20 protein spots could only be found in the undifferentiated gels,which would have been analyzed by MALDI-TOF.Conclusions HL60 cell line could be induced to monocyte by NSC67657 which could also stimulate the C/EBP? in the early stage.2-DE could separate the protein directly which expressed differentially,from which some proteins essential in cellular differentiation might be found.

Objective To investigate the effect of dynamic regulation of negative pressure values in vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on healing of soft tissue wounds.Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,115 patients were treated at our institute for open soft tissue defects of Gustilo-Anderson type ⅢaⅢc.They were 69 males and 46 females,aged from 17 to 76 years (average,44.7 years).They were divided into 4 groups to be subjected to different negative pressure values.Group A (n =29) was subjected to negative pressure values from-40 to-20 kPa,group B (n =29) to values from-80 to-60 kPa,group C (n =29) to values from-40 to-20 kPa for the first 72 hours followed by values from-80 to-60 kPa,and group D (n =28) to values from-60 to-80 kPa for the first 72 hours followed by values from-40 to -20 kPa.The 4 groups were compared in terms of drainage volume,wound shrinking,cleaning time,healing time and complications.Results The drainage volumes on the 7th day in groups B and D (4.89 ± 0.66 mL/cm2 and 4.33 ± 0.96 mL/cm2) were significantly higher than those in groups A and C (2.90 ± 0.67 mL/cm2 and 2.99 ±0.56 mL/cm2);the wound shrinking areas on the 14th day in groups B and D (14.16 ± 1.77 cm2 and 13.84 ± 1.65 cm2) were significantly larger than in groups A and C (12.57 ± 1.92 cm2 and 10.95 ± 1.37 cm2) (P < 0.05).The cleaning time in group A was significantly longer than in the other 3 groups (P < 0.05).The healing time in groups A and C was longer than in groups B and D (P < 0.05).The incidences of pain in groups B and C were significantly higher than in groups A and D (P < 0.05).The incidences of infection and blocking in group A were higher than in the other 3 groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion Dynamic regulation of negative pressure values from-80 to-60 kPa for the first 72 hours followed by values from-40 to-20 kPa is an optimal choice for VSD management of soft tissue defects due to adequate drainage,obvious wound shrinking,quick cleaning and healing,and limited complications.
