Objective: to observe the effect of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)on STZ induced type 2 diabetic rat model, and to clarify its initial mechanism. Methods: 42 type 2 diabeticrats were randomly allocated into operation group(group O 12 rats); sham group(group S 10 rats); diet control group(group F 10 rats); control group(group C 10 rats). Fasting glucose, Insulin Growth Factor-1 ( IGF1), fasting plasma insulin levels, weight and food intake were measured before and 1st , 2nd, 3 rd ,4th, 8th and 16 th week after operation. Results: 16 weeks after operation in the Group O, fasting glucose fell to (8.8?4.9)mmol/L, IGF1 increase to (148.6?7.3)ng/L ,fasting plasma increase to (74.7?9.2)mIU/L and weight decline to (212.6?15.1)g ,there was statistical significance compared with the levels of preoperation (P

The values of vitamin E in serum were decreased significantly in rats with 15% BSA III burn from 1.5 hours to 7 days postburn, and then restored gradually, while the levels of lipid peroxides in serum and lung were increased from 1.5 hours to 3 days. The activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathine peroxidase in blood were also decreased after burns, the former remaining low within 14 days and the latter restoring after 7 days postburn. After intraperitoneal injection of vitamin E to the burned rats, the overproduction of lipid peroxides in serum and lung was inhibited with inhibition rates of 28% and 31%, respectively. No more pathological changes of ultrastructural picture were observed in lung of the burned rats supplemented with vitamin E as compared to the control. The results showed that it was beneficial to supply vitamin E in treatment of burns as soon as possible.

Objective To investigate the occupational exposures to skin injuries among undergraduate nursing students and analyze the causes,so as to provide advices for the standardized pre-service education of occupational protection.Methods To survey 260 students by simple sampling method using self-made questionnaire retrospectively at the end of the internship.The factors influencing skin injuries were analyzed.Results A total of 238 effective questionnaires were obtained.There were 96.64％ (230/238) practice students suffered skin injuries,the incidence rate was higher at the initial phase.The injuries-risk factors were using hollow needles and glass ampoule,dispensing and back to the set of the needle cap.The preventive measures which the students executed were squeezing out blood,washing with flowing water and sterilizing with iodine and alcohol.Only 58.47％ (473/809) students checked the reports of patients.Most of them were lack of the preventive awareness.Conclusions This study demonstrated that skin injuries occurred frequently among undergraduate nursing students of bachelor degree and their knowledge level about precautions was low.The standard education of pre-service occupational prevention,the occupational exposure post-processing and the reporting system were very necessary.

Objective To determine whether the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor,{N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-methane sulfonamide} (NS398),can inhibit proliferation of COX-2 negatively expressed human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and induce its apoptosis in vitro. Methods The expression of COX-2 in cultured PC-3 cells was examined by RT-PCR and Western blot for mRNA and protein respectively.The proliferative inhibition of PC-3 cells by NS398 was observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) rapid photocolorimetric assay.PC-3 cells cultured in 100 ?mol/L NS398 medium for 24 h was marked with AnnexinV-FITC and PI for the cell apoptosis assay by flow cytometry. Results COX-2 was not expressed in PC-3 cell line at either mRNA or protein level.The inhibitory rate of NS398 on proliferation increased with the increasing concentration but was not time-dependent.Compared with the controls (10.563?2.582)%,PC-3 cells cultured in 100?mol/L NS398 medium for 24 h had significantly higher incidence (19.307?3.773)%] Objective To determine whether the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitor,{N-[2-(cyclohexyloxy)-4-nitrophenyl]-methane sulfonamide} (NS398),can inhibit proliferation of COX-2 negatively expressed human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 and induce its apoptosis in vitro.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of intravenous thrombolysis of recombinant streptokinase (r SK) on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its safety. Methods: Twenty patients with AMI received r SK for thrombolysis.The reopening rate of infarct related artery,side effect and the fatality rate in hospital were observed. Results: The reopening rate of infarct related artery was 75%. The incidence of slight hemorrhage, fever, low blood pressure,which could be corrected in short time, was 5%, 15%, 15%, respectively. The fatality rate 5 weeks after AMI was 10%. Conclusion: The therapeutic effect of r SK in the thrombolytic therapy of AMI is definite and the safety is fine.

Objective To investigate the inhibition effects of simvastatin on proliferation and migration of cultured porcine coronary vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) induced by oxidized lower density lipoprotein (OX-LDL). Methods Porcine coronary SMCs were incubated with serum-free medium containing different concentrations of simvastatin. Infiltration of ~3H-TdR into SMC DNA was measured as an index of cell proliferation. Simvastatin's effect on migration was tested with Sarkar's technique. Results Different concentrations of simvastatin (10~(-8)-10~(-5) mol/L) caused a decrease in ~3H-TdR infiltration in porcine coronary SMC. The migration number of porcine coronary SMCs also decreased proportional to the simvastatin concentration. Conclusion Simvastatin can inhibit the proliferation and migration of porcine coronary SMCs stimulated by OX-LDL in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To isolate and identify the Sertoli′ cells, and the expression of FasL was examined immunohistochemically. Methods Testis were isolated from male Wistar rats and Sertoli′ cells were isolated. After culturing for 72 hours, Sertoli′ cells were morphologically observed by several ways and identified with transmission electron microscope. FasL was examined immunohistochemically. Results The yielded Sertoli′ cells accounted for over 90% of all the cells harvested. FasL was expressed in high level in the 72h cultured Sertoli′ cells. Conclusion Sertoli′ cells that we have isolated can be used for co-transplantation with other cells and offer immune privilege.

Objective This paper was conducted to study the preparation methods and the hypoglycemic effects of oral sodium alginate-insulin nanoparticles (INS-NPs) on the blood glucose level in Streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Methods The INS-NPs were prepared by an ionic gelation method. The changes of the morphology and size of the INS-NPs were examined by transmission electron microscope and Zetasizer 3000HS. The hypoglycemic effects of the INS-NPs were evaluated by monitoring the blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wistar rats. Results The INS-NPs were spherical or ellipsoidal in shape with a diameter of 236.4?19.3nm. The entrapment efficiency and load efficiency of INS-NPs were 78.5%?6.1% and 22.6%?4.4%, respectively. In vivo hypoglycemic study showed the levels of blood glucose of diabetic Wistar rats declined at 7h after oral administration of INS-NPs (26U/kg). Their hypoglycemic effects were maintained for 12h and the levels of blood glucose were kept with normal range for 6h (less than 7.0mmol/L). Conclusion The INS-NPs have the hypoglycemic effect on the blood glucose level of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
