Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of angiotensin Ⅱ and Losartan pretreatment on regulating insulin secretion in human islet ? cells.Methods We measured changes in intracellular calcium by confocal laser scanning microscopy using Flou3-AM-loaded human islet cells.RT-PCR was used to measure changes in intracellular CaM.Dynamic insulin secretory responses were determined by chemiluminescence following perfusion of human islets.Results Exposure of the isolated islets to angiotensin Ⅱ induced glucose-stimulated insulin release coupled with intracellular calcium ascending in first phase and descending in second phase.Intracellular CaM concentration could not be affected by angiotensin Ⅱ.Conclusion The change of free Ca2+is induced by the combination of AngⅡ with ATI receptors of islet B cells,which results in the damage to islet B cells.Losartan pretreatment protects the islet B-cell function by inhibiting calcium overload.

Objective To examine the effects of mixed infusion of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) and bone marrow cells(BMCs) in the induction of chimerism and islet allograft tolerance.Methods BALB/C mouse was used as the recipient and C57BL/6 mouse was as the donor.BALB/C mice were rendered diabetic via injection of streptozotocin.The islet cells of donor mice were transplanted into the recipient mice under the capsule of kidney.Rat anti-mouse CD154 mAb was intraperitoneally injected to the recipient mice.All of recipient mice(n=25) were then randomly divided into five groups: A group(received nothing),B group(donor MSCs),C group(donor BMCs),D group(donor BMCs and MSCs) and E group(donor BMCs and the third strain-derived MSCs).The chimerism level of donor cells and the survival time of islet grafts were compared among these five groups on 7,30d and 60d after transplantation.Results On 30d and 60d after islet transplantation,the chimerism levels of donor cells in D and E groups,in which the recipient mice received the mixed infusion of MSCs and BMCs,were significantly higher than that in C group,in which the recipient mice received BMCs infusion only,and the survival time of islet graft prolonged from 53.0?16.4d to 77.0?7.7d and 61.0?2.2d,respectively(P

Objective To evaluate the influence of glutamine(Gln)-enriched total parenteral nutrition on nutritional status,suppression of excessive systematic inflammatory responses and immunological competence on critical patients in ICU.Methods Sixty critical patients were included in a randomized controlled clinical trial and divided into Gln group and control group,with 30 case for each group.Both groups received isocaloric and isonitrogenous nutritional formulas on everyday.In addition,Gln was added to Gln group from day 1 to day 8.On day 1 and 8 after treatment,serum albumin,proalbumin,transferin,IgA,IgG and IgM were determined respectively.The plasma level of CPR,IL-6,TNF-?,blood suger,liver function were also monitored.Results (1)The level of serum albumin,proalbumin,transferin,IgA,IgG,and IgM decreased in all patients.Albumin,proalbumin,transferin,IgA,IgG,and IgM were significantly improved in Gln group on day 8 compared with control group and before treatment(P

Objective To investigate the treatment of combined subclavian artery and brachial plexus injury. Methods Since 1994, we have treated 5 cases of combined subclavian artery and brachial plexus injury. 2 of them were cut wound, 1 gun shot wound, and 2 blunt trauma. 2 cases had combined aneurysm and 1 had combined aneurysm plus A V fistula. According to the sites of subclavian artery injury, vein graft( 1 case) , suture repair( 1 cases) and ligation (1 case) were performed. The 2 cases of blunt trauma underwent only neurolysis because of masses of hematoma and tissue adhesion. Results The 3 cases of open injury who had underwent early repair of artery and nerve had various degrees of recovery of nerve functions and experienced no pain in the injured extremities. As for the 2 cases of blunt trauma, 1 got only pain relief and 1 had no recovery. Conclusion Dysfunction due to hematoma or progressive pseudoaneurysm compression on the brachial plexus can be relieved and patients can get maximal rehabilitation if hematoma or aneurysm is managed in time and the brachial plexus nerve is decompressed early.

Objective To analyze the relationship between daytime sleepiness and oxygen desaturation in the male eldcrly with obstructive sleep apnea /hyponea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods 147 male elderly (aged 60-80 years) with OSAHS in our sleep laboratory from March 2008 to February 2011 were divided into daytime sleepiness and daytime non-sleepiness groups. Epworth sleeping scale (ESS) and polysomnography (PSG) were employed to detect the degree of sleepiness.Oxygen desaturation were evaluated by oxygen desaturation index (ODI),average and minimum blood oxygen,time percentage of 90％ oxygen desaturation (CT90). Resulls There were significant differences between the two groups in body mass index (BMI) (t=4.157),ODI (t=-10.063),average (t=5.800) and minimum (U=916) blood oxygen,CT90(U=887)and apnca/hypopneaindex (AHI) (t =-11.361) (all P＜0.001).ESS scores were related with desaturation parameters of ODI,average and minimum blood oxygen and CT90 (r=0.683,-0.450,-0.583,0.507,all P＜0.001).ODI was correlated with average and minimum blood oxygen and CT00 (r=-0.628,-0.763,0.689,all P＜0.001).Among parameters of oxygen desaturation,only ODI had influence on ESS scores (odds ratio=1.11,95％CI:1.07 1.15),The sensitivity and specificity predicting daytime sleepiness at ODI ≥23 times/h were about 79.2％ and 84.3％,respectively.Conclusions Daytime sleepiness is associated with oxygen desaturaion and may be predicted by ODI through which average and minimum blood oxygen and CT00 are related with daytime sleepiness in the male elderly with OSAHS.
