Aim Tostudytheeffectof4-phenlybuty-rate acid(4-PBA) on the heart function of diabetic rats and to explore its underlying mechanism. Methods MaleSprague-Dawley(SD)ratsweredividedintothree groups randomly: ( 1 ) control rats;( 2 ) diabetic rats;(3) 4-PBA treated diabetic rats. Type 1 diabetic mod-el was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of strepotozotocin (60 mg·kg-1 ) . After five weeks dia-betic model was established, diabetic rats were treated with 4-PBA by P. O at the dose of 1 g·kg-1 per day for 20 weeks. At the end of the experiment, hemody-namics of the left ventricle and main artery were detec-ted through right carotid artery cannulation in rats. The level of blood glucose, the activity of superoxide dis-mutase( SOD) and nitric oxide synthetase ( NOS) and the content of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) and nitric ox-ide( NO) of serum and myocardial tissue in rats were measuredbycolorimetry.Results Thetreatmentof4-PBA had no effect on blood glucose, the weight of body and heart, but slightly increased systolic and diastolic pressure of artery, heart rate, systolic pressure of left ventricular, maximum increase rate and minimum de-crease rate of left ventricular pressure( ± dp/dt) in di-abetic rats. It also slightly decreased diastolic pressure of left ventricular, shortened diastolic duration of left ventricular ( P > 0. 05 ) . Moreover, it significantly shortened relaxation time of left ventricular in diabetic rats (P<0. 05). In addition, the treatment of 4-PBA obviously enhanced the activity of SOD and NOS, NO content, and reduced the content of MDA in serum and heartofdiabeticrats(P<0.05).Conclusion 4-PBA has a potential protective effect on heart function in diabetic rats, which is achieved by ameliorating he-modynamics and significantly improving diastolic dys-function in diabetic rats. The underlying mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and promoting the genesis of NO in myocardial tissue.

Aim To explore the effects of hydrocortisone on intracellular calcium in microglial cells.Methods The intracellular calcium was measured by instantaneous scanning with confocal laser microscope(CLM) in BV-2 cells, and fluo3-AM was used to dye the intracellular calcium.Results Both hydrocortisone and nicotine could obviously increase intracellular calcium in BV-2 cells(P<0.05).It was indicated by instantaneous scanning with CLM that hydrocortisone induced the rising of intracellular calcium immediately, and reached the peak about at the fifteenth second, and sustained for 10 seconds, then declined to baseline at 200th second.The effect of hydrocortisone on intracellular calcium exhibited a highly consistency with nicotine.Antagonist of glucocorticoid receptors RU486 could not abolish the rising of intracellular calcium induced by hydrocortisone(P>0.05);but the blocker of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7nAChR) methyllycaconitine could suppress the rising of intracellular calcium induced by hydrocortisone(P<0.05).Conclusion Hydrocortisone enhances intracellular calcium via α7nAChR in microglial cells, which not only demonstrates the non-genomic effect of glucocorticoid, but also suggests that glucocorticoid could serve as endogenous ligand of α7nAChR.

This study was designed following eyeball extirpation to evaluate the therapeutic effects of hydroxyapatite and to explore the causes and preventing from exposure during orbital implantation. A total of 23 cases with autologou sclera and muscular suture selected from Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College between January 2005 and December 2007 were retrospectively summarized and analyzed. Seventeen cases were implanted initially and the other 6 cases received secondary implantation. For the implantation with scleral-wrap, a 360? peritomy, limbic sclerotomy and full keratectomy were performed with corneoscleral scissors. Uveal tissue was completely removed. Posterior sclera was radially incised, and the hydroxyapatite orbital implant was implanted. Anterior sclera was sutured completely. Other implantations without using sclera-wrap were performed with the hydroxyapatite orbital implant in muscle cone and four rectal muscles were sutured to the hole of the hydroxyapatite orbital implant. Mattress suture of fascia tissue with double staggered position was performed in all the implantations. Conjunctiva was sutured discontinuously. This implant provided satisfactory functional motility and stability. Two cases developed implant exposure, suggesting that hydroxyapatite was the implant of choice for cosmesis following surgical removal of the eyeball, or enucleation. The complication rate is low and implant exposure, if it occurs, can be easily managed.

Objective To determine the association of acanthosis nigricans(AN) with values for estimating insulin resistance and adipocytokine levels in simple obese children. Methods These subjects concluded 38 simple obese children. AN was present in 17 of 38 children. Height, weight and abdominal circumference were recorded and fasting blood sample was obtained for measurement of blood glucose, plasma insulin, leptin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels which were known as the risk factors of cardiovascular disease. We obtained homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-R) by fasting blood glucose and plasma insulin levels. Results The severity of obesity, abdominal circumference, fasting insulin levels and HOMA-R were significantly higher in obese children to AN compared to those without AN. There was the tendency that children with AN had higher levels of leptin and PAI-1 compared to children without AN. Conclusions These results suggest that obese children with AN may have a risk of cardiovascular disease as well as type 2 diabetes mellitus.
