Objective To explore the effect of Shen-Fu injection(SFI,参附注射液) on expressions of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in renal failure induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI) in rats and its possible mechanism in the protection of kidney.Methods The model of intestinal IRI was induced by clamping superior mesenteric artery(SMA) for 1 hour and then releasing the arterial clamp for 6 hours.Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: IRI model group,SFI pretreatment group and sham operation group.In the SFI pretreatment group,10 ml/kg of SFI was pumped in at constant rate 30 minutes before the ischemia,the SMA was clumped for 1 hour and then released,while in the IRI model group,an equal volume of normal saline was pumped in continuously 30 minutes before the ischemia.The serum creatinine(SCr) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were observed respectively.Expressions and distributions of HO-1 and iNOS in the rat kidney tissue were detected by immunohistochemitry and morphometry computer image analysis.The histological changes of kidney were observed under light microscope.Results The expressions of HO-1 and iNOS were markedly higher,and the levels of SCr and BUN were also significantly higher in intestinal IRI model group than those in the sham operation group(all P

The Risk-sharing agreements have achieved remarkable success in improving patients'access to drugs, lowering the uncertainty of the drugs cost-effectiveness, financial risk control and other aspects of medical in-surance fund , so they have attracted widespread attention by the concerned governments and insurers .This paper sys-tematically reviewed the patient access schemes in UK from several aspects , including the origin of the program , clas-sification , application processes and the implementation effects as well .The results of the research indicated that Chi-na has basically met the conditions for implementation of the risk-sharing agreements .In order to gradually promote the risk-sharing agreements implementation , this paper suggests that China should clarify the main root of risk-sharing agreements implementation , establish risk-sharing agreements standardization process and strengthen the application of health technology assessment in health resources allocation to improve the Chinese medicines bargaining system more scientifically and efficiently .

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of different doses of caffeine on premature apnea.Methods 80 patients with apnea were divided into observation group and control group,each group in 40cases.The two groups applicated caffeine citrate.The control group received the basal dose, first application of 20 mg/kg, intravenous injection, intravenous injection of 5 mg/kg after 24 h.The observation group was treated with intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg after 24 h.The treatment period was 7 d.The therapeutic effect, blood gas and oxygenation index and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Results The effective rate of the observation group was 92.5%,which was significantly higher than 75.0% of the control group(x2=4.501,P<0.05).After treatment, the duration[(9.05±1.82)s vs (13.53±2.63)s]and lost time[(2.52±0.94)h vs (3.42±1.13)h]of apnea in the observation group were longer than those of the control group.The number of seizures[(22.15±4.16) vs (33.53±8.48)]was less than that of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t=8.767,5.434,9.231,all P<0.05).After treatment, PaO2[(84.74±9.74)mmHg vs (71.46±8.53)mmHg],PaCO2[(42.62±4.15)mmHg vs (48.54±5.18)mmHg]and PaO2/FiO2[(221.52±26.51)mmHg vs (197.76±21.71)mmHg]in the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group(t=7.574,4.765,8.643,all P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse reactions include tachycardia, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and restlessness had no significant difference between the two groups (15.0% vs 10.0%, P>0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of premature apnea, advanced caffeine citrate treatment can better improve the clinical symptoms and blood gas index, the curative effect is reliable.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of dexamethasone in hyperoxia-induced lung injury. Methods Use bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) method to gain alveolar macrophages (AM) from newborn SD rats. AM were adherence purified for 24 hours, then randomly assigned to four groups: Ⅰ. hyperoxia group, Ⅱ. hyperoxia plus LPS group, Ⅲ. hyperoxia plus dexamethasone group, Ⅳ. hyperoxia plus LPS plus dexamethasone group. Every group contains 7 samples. After cultured for 48 hours, supernatants were harvested. L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity? hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and IL-8 contents of supernatants were examined in all groups. Results (1)48 h after culture, the content of IL-8 in groupⅠandⅡwas (46?15)pg/ml?(145?27)pg/ml respectively, in groupⅢandⅣwas(29?4)pg/ml?(39?8)pg/ml respectively, IL-8 content was decreased in group Ⅲ and Ⅳcompared with group Ⅰand Ⅱ(P

The DNA copy-number variant (CNV) is a kind of segments of DNA ranging from 1 kb to 3 Mb that is present in a variable number of copies.CNVs widely distribute across the human genome,and dramatically increases genetic diversity.In recent years,researches have found that most CNVs are closely related to complex diseases.If a cancer gene is directly encompassed or overlapped by a CNV,it may lead to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes,and finally results in tumorigenesis.CNVs can affect gene expression,phenotype differences and phenotypic adaptations by changing gene dosages and gene activities,and then sequentially lead to tumor or any other genetic dieases.Investigating CNVs is apparently helpful for studing chromosome recombination,genomic evolution,gene expression and the pathogenesis of multiple complex diseases especially tumor.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of two parenteral nutrition (PN)methods in preterm infants. Methods Forty-two preterm infants who could not tolerate full enteral feeding were randomly divided into two groups. Twenty-two cases of the experimental group started to receive amino acids (AA) by 1.0 g/(kg·d) within 24 h after birth. Then AA was increased by 1.0 g/(kg·d)each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg·d)The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA within 48 h. Complete PN was achieved 5 d after birth. Twenty cases of the control group started to receive AA by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) ,and then increased by 0. 5 g/(kg·d) each day to maximum of 3.0 g/(kg ·d). The dose and add method of intralipid was given alike AA after 72 h. Complete PN was achieved at 8 or 9 d after birth. The feeding results was observed,the blood biochemistry was monitored at 72 h and 10 d after birth,and the incidence of complication was recorded. Results In comparison with the control group, time returning to birth weight, the weight loss rate, PN time and time returning to full enteral feeding were shorter in the experimental group (P <0. 01). There were no significant differences in the blood glucose,total bilirubin, urea nitrogen,carbon dioxide combining power,total cholesterol and the incidence of complication between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Conclusion Quantity sufficient and early parenteral nutrition can be tolerated by preterm infants within 24 h after birth.

Objective To investigate the effect of radix paeoniae rubra (RPR) on expression of heme oxygenase (HO-1) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) and explore its protective mechanism. Methods Forty Wistar rats were randomly and equally divided into five groups, ie, control group, LPS group, RPR treatment group, RPR prevention group and Hemin group. Arterial blood was drawn for blood gas analysis. Models of endotoxin-induced ALI were used to observe the protein content, the ratio of neutrophiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in lung and the activities of serum NO. Expression of HO-1 and iNOS in rat lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry and morphometry computer image analysis. The histological change of lung were observed under light microscope. Results Compared with control group, expression of HO-1 and iNOS was markedly increased (P
