Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of propofol on cognitive function of type 2 diabetic rats.Methods Ten of fifty adult male SD rats were fed with basic diet and allocated to control group.Another forty rats were fed with high sugar and high fat for 8 weeks and composite intraperitoneal injection of 1% streptozotocin (STZ)to establish model and then divided into four groups:diabetes group;low dose,middle dose and high dose of propofol group (diabetic rats were given intraperitoneal injection of 1% propofol 10,30,75 mg·kg-1·d-1 for 5 consecutive days).The cognitive functions were examined by Morris water maze from the first day after intraperitoneal injec-tion with propofol.The hippocampus were isolated for observing histopathologic alterations by HE staining and for the determinations of SOD,MDA,CAT,GSH and GSH-PX by colorimetry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of AGEs and RAGE.Results Compared to the control group,there was an obvious increased escape latent period,decreased the frequency of crossing platform,increased hippocampal neurons damage and MDA,decreased levels of SOD, CAT,GSH and GSH-PX,as well as the protein levels of AGEs and RAGE in diabetes group (P <0.05).There was no significant difference between diabetes group and low dose propofol of group on behavior ability and detection index.However,middle dose and high dose of propofol group showed more serious cognitive dysfunction,aggravated hippocampal neurons cells loss,increased oxidative stress as well as enhanced expression of AGEs and RAGE (P <0.05 ).Conclusion Multiple given sedative or anesthetic doses of propofol can aggravate the cognitive dysfunction and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetic rats,which may be related to increase the expression of AGEs and RAGE in brain tis-sue.

Ischemia-reperfusion after neonatal asphyxia is a key factor in renal injury,which often can lead to apoptosis of tubular epithelial cells.Apoptosis is an important form of injury for renal tubular epithelial cells after asphyxia.Large number of cancer genes involve in regulation of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in the process of apoptosis.Bcl-2 protein which are expression products of Bcl-2 oncogene act on the mitochondrial pathway in apoptosis.Furthermore they can inhibit the caspase cascade of apoptosis via the cells "cross-talk",which contribute to attenuate renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and improve renal function.

Objective To study the validity of furosemide test for predicting the hematoma enlargement in pa- tients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Methods Four hundred fifty-one patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were diagnosed using CT after oneset of the disease and 24 h reexamined 24 h after.The incidence of enlarged hematoma was evaluated by comparison the baseline and 24 h CT scanning.Furosemide(20 mg iv)was ad- ministered and blood pressure was measured 30 min after furosemide.Results The decreasing level of MAP after furosemide was significantly inversely related with incidence rate of hematoma enlargement{ r=-0.94,t=58.4,P 10 mmHg as the cut-off point,with the rate of hematoma enlargement as being 6.4 %,MAP decreased≤10 mmHg was associated with increases in prevalence of hematome to 33.2 %(?~2=51.82, P

Objective This study is to identify the presence of superoxide anion-generating system in human lens epithelial cells using arachidonic acid (AA) as the stimulator.Design Experimental study.Participants Human lens epithelial cells B3 (HLE B3). Methods Confluent human lens epithelial cells (HLE B3) were subjected to stimulation by AA and its derivatives.The generation of su- peroxide anion was quantified with a luminometer (LumiStar BMG) immediately upon AA and its derivatives addition.Cells preloaded with superoxide dismutase (SOD) or mannitol were used as negative controls and cells mixed with 3% ethanol (solvent for AA) were used as baseline.Cells were preloaded with inhibitors 30 minutes before luminometer measurement.A time-and concentration-depen- dent study on the AA-stimulated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was carried out using western blot analysis. Main Outcome Measures Superoxide generation,phosphorylation of MAPK.Results AA at dosage of 30-150 mM proportionally in- duced luminescence in HLE B3 cells,but was ineffective in cells preloaded with SOD or mannitol.DPI,a non-specific NADPH oxidase inhibitor eliminated AA-induced superoxide anion generation partially.Leinoleic acid,stearic acid,eicosa-11Z,14Z,17Z-trienoic acid (20:3) and eicosa-11Z,14Z-dienoic acid (20:2) were ineffective.The generation of superoxide anion was not contributed by cyclooxyge- nase or the cytochrome p450 pathway since indomethacin (inhibitor for cyclooxygenase) or ketoconazole (inhibitor for cytochrome p450) could not eradicate the stimulatory effect of AA.While CDC,a specific inhibitor for lipoxygenase could eliminate superoxide generation partially.The specific inhibitor for 5-lipoxygenase AA861 completely blocked the generation of superoxide anion.Western blot analysis of the cell lysate showed that AA at the concentrations of 30-150 mM progressively activated ERK and JNK.They were transiently ac- tivated between 2.5-30 minutes.The activations of ERK and JNK were dose-dependent and time-dependent.Conclusions Inhibition of superioxide anion generation may be a new approach to block lens epithelial cell proliferation and post-capsule opacification.

Objective To evaluate the variability of calculating thyroid volume by SPECT imaging at different time postinjection. Methods A total of 40 patients with Graves disease were enrolled in this prospective study using simple random sampling method. After intravenous injection of Na99TcmO4, all patients underwent planar and tomographic scintigraphy at different time points (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 60 min), and the planar or tomographic integral method were used to estimate thyroid volume. Data were analyzed by one?way analysis of variance, paired t test or linear correlation analysis. Results For thyroid volume esti?mated by planar imaging, the correlation coefficients between the different time points and 20 min were 0?717-0?819 (all P<0.05), and the CV was (18.38±5.31)%. For thyroid volume estimated by tomographic integral method, the correlation coefficients were 0.913-0.961 (all P<0.05), and the CV was (8.05± 3?19)%. Both the correlation coefficient and CV were statistically significant between the two methods ( t=-13.59, -11.29, both P<0.05) . Conclusions Tomographic integral method has better correlation and re?producibility in calculating thyroid volume compared with planar method.

Objective To explore optimized method of estimating 131I effective half-life(EHL) in patients with Graves' disease(GD).Methods The EHL was obtained by measuring thyroid radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) of 126 patients (32 males,94 females,average age (38.47± 11.49) years) with GD at 4,24,48,96,120,144,168,192 and 216 h.Two-sample t test,bivariate correlation analysis and curve estimation were used for statistical analysis.Results The EHL of 126 patients was 0.5-7.5 (4.70±1.46) d.The EHL was 3.0-7.5(5.25±1.01) d and 0.5-6.0(3.24±1.52) d in group A (94 patients,without advanced peak of RAIU) and group B (32 patients,with advanced peak of RAIU),respectively,and the difference between the 2 groups was significant (t =8.499,P＜0.01).The EHL had no significant correlation with RAIU4h/RAIU24h(r=-0.177,P＞0.05) in group A,while it had negative correlation with RAIU4h/RAIU24h in group B (r =-0.724,P＜0.01).In group A,the EHL of patients with RAIU24h/RAIU48h ＞100％ was 3.0-7.5 (5.11 ±0.98) d,the EHL of patients with RAIU24h/RAIU48h ≤ 100％ was 4.0-7.0(5.91±0.94) d (t=3.141,P＜0.01).In group B,when RAIU4h/RAIU24h+RAIU24h/RAIU48h was used as the independent variable in S curve model to estimate the EHL,the result was the best (R2=0.930,F=397.22,both P＜0.01,b0 =-3.038 0,b1 =9.659 4).Conclusions In order to optimally estimate EHL,patients should be grouped according to 131I turnover.In patients with advanced peak of RAIU,the EHL should be calculated by using formula of (RAIU4h/RAIU24h +RAIU24h/RAIU48h).If no advanced peak of RAIU exists,patients should be further divided according to RAIU24h/RAIU48h ＞ 100％ or RAIU24h/RAIU48h ≤100％,and the EHL mean value of each group is taken as the estimated EHL.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of the injection of puerarin combined with salvianoli acid B(Sal B)on rats with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). METHODS:62 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group,puerarin group(20 mg/kg)and puerarin(20 mg/kg)-Sal B group(mass ratio of 1:0.5,1:1,1:2,respectively),10 in each group. Except for sham operation group,rats in other groups were reduced for MIRI model. After 180 min of reperfusion, kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and percentage of myocardial infarction size of rats were detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in se-rum of rats in model group were obviously increased (P<0.01),SOD level was obviously decreased (P<0.01);and percentage of myocardial infarction size was obviously increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in serum of rats in each administration group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),SOD levels were obviously increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and indexes changed the most obviously in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1);percentage of myocardial infarction size was obvi-ously decreased(P<0.01),and the percentage of myocardial infarction sizes in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1)and group(1:2)were less than Puerarin injection group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with Puerarin injection alone,puerarin combined with Sal B by injection can more effectively inhibit the cardiomyocyte injury and decrease myocardial infarction size after MIRI,with best efficacy when quality ratio is 1:1.
