Objective To analyze the clinical features of melioidosis spleen abscess.Methods A retrospective analysis of 26 cases with melioidosis spleen abscess at Hainan People′s Hospital between October 2002 and March 2015 was performed.Data with general conditions, clinical characteristics, imaging features, treatment and outcome were all extracted and analyzed.Results High fever (100.0%) and splenomegaly (73.1%) were the main clinical symptoms and signs.Laboratory examinations showed that white blood cell and neutrophil percentage increased, with a mean value of 12.6×10.9/L and 0.86, respectively.88.5% cases had diabetes mellitus which was the main underlying disease.Apart from spleen abscess, pulmonary infection (73.1%) and liver abscess (38.5%) were the majority.Imaging showed multiple small abscess (92.3%).All patients had at least one positive blood culture of Burkholderia pseudomalleiand were treated with imipenem, ceftazidime and sulfamethoxazole alone or in combination.Hospitalization days ranged between 8 to 65 days with the mean of 29.5 days.Twenty-three cases (88.5%) were cured, the remaining 3 cases (11.5%) abandoned treatment and were all lost for follow-up.Conclusions Melioidosis should be suspected in patients from epidemic areas, who have diabetes and imaging shows spleen abscess and other organ infections including pulmonary infection and liver abscess.Microbiological culture is needed immediately.

AIM: To investigate the effects of extract of Ginkgo biloba (EGb) on diaphragm from diabetic rats. METHODS: Sprague-Dauley rats were divided into three groups: normal control, diabetic group and EGb treatment group. The morphologic changes of diaphragm tissues were studied by light and electron microscopy, the activities of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO_2~-/NO_3~-) in the diaphragm mitochondria were assayed by spectophotometer, respectively. RESULTS: The activities of SOD, SDH decreased in diabetic diaphragm mitochondria, but the activitiy of NOS, the contents of NO_2~-/NO_3~-, MDA increased compared with control group. The activities of SOD, SDH were increased as well as NOS were decreased and the contents of NO_2~-/NO_3~-, MDA decreased in EGb treatment group compared with the diabetic group. CONCLUSION: EGb may protects the diaphragm mitochondria of diabetic rats by enhancing the function of respiratory chain, anti-oxidation and decreasing NO level. [

AIM: To investigate the effect of losartan on the mRNA expression of type 2 angiotensin II receptor and cytokines in diabetic rat kidney.METHODS: SD rats were randomly divided by following groups: control rats(group C),diabetic rats(group D) and diabetic rats treated with losartan (30(mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)),by gavage,group DT).At the end of 8-weeks study,mRNA expressions of the type 2 angiotensin II receptor(AT_2),transforming growth factor-?_1(TGF-?_1),platelet-derived growth factor-B(PDGF-B),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) and collagen Ⅳ in rats renal cortex were measured by RT-PCR,respectively.In addition,angiotensin Ⅱ level in renal cortex was determined by the radioimmunoassay.RESULTS: In group D,urine protein excretion(P

Objective:To study the effects of soybean isoflavone (SI) on metabolism of lipids and lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] in ovariectomized rats . Methods:Senventy female Sprague- Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups according to the levels of total cholesterol (TC) in serum: high-lipid (HF) group, estrogen (EG) group, low-dose SI (L-SI) group, middle-dose SI (M-SI) group, high-dose SI (H-SI) group, sham group and normal control (NC) group. One week after bilateral ovaries were extirpated, except sham and NC group, estrogen, different doses of SI or deionized water were fed i.g. for 12 w. Except NC group, the other groups were fed high fat diet. Body weights were weighed every week and blood and heart were collected at the end of experiment. The serum TC, triglyceride(TG), high or low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), Lp (a), and antioxidative enzymes activities were assayed. Results:After SI intervention, the levels of LDL-C in SI groups were significantly lower than in HF group but higher than in NC group. The levels of Lp (a) were also changed, but there was almost no effect on HDL-C. Persistent intervention with SI can reduce TC, TG , and protect cadiocyte’s actin filament andmitochondrial ultramicrostructure from damage as shown in HF group. The ultramicroscopic pictures in EG and H-SI group almost resembled NC group. Conclusion:Persistent intervention of high-dose SI can reduce the levels of LDL-C, TC, TG and protect the myocardiac damages due to high fat diet in ovariectomized rats.
