Cushing's syndrome is caused by the excessive secretion of cortisol from the adrenal cortex.Hypertension is one of the most distinguishing features of Cushing's syndrome,as it is present in about 80% of adult patients.The various pathogenetic mechanisms that have been proposed for the development of cortisol-induced hypertension in Cushing's syndrome and its management are discussed.

Objective:To establish a method for the determination of 7 residual organic solvents including acetone,2,3 -dimethyl-pentane,3-methylhexane,n-heptane,2,2-dimethylhexane,o-xylene and 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine in Shengxuening tablets. Methods: A headspace gas chromatography method was adopted. The determination was performed on a DB-5MS capillary column ( 30 m × 0. 25 mm,0. 25 μm) with programming temperature. Nitrogen was used as the carrier gas at the flow rate of 2. 5 ml·min-1 . The tem-perature of injector was 200℃,and a flame ionization detector was used as the temperature of 250℃. The containers of headspace in-jector were in equilibrium at 95℃ for 30min. DMF was used as the solvent and an external standard method was used for the determi-nation of the 7 residual solvents. The injection volume was 1 ml. Results:Under the chromatographic conditions, the 7 residual organic solvents could be well separated from each other . The concentration of each solvent showed a good linearity with the peak area within the investigated concentration range (r≥0. 994 4). The average recoveries were 98. 72%-99. 71% (RSD=0. 14%-0. 71%)(n=9). Conclusion:The established method is simple, rapid and sensitive, which can be used for the determination of multiple residual or-ganic solvents in Shengxuening tablets.

Objective To evaluate the incidence and degree of organic impairment after neonatal asphyxia,analyze the high risk factors of this and find a new approach to lower the mortality of asphyxia.Methods Two hundred and twenty-two newborns with asphyxia were studied. They were divided into mild asphyxia group and severe asphyxia group, and the function of main organs were classified as mild and severe, too. Chi-square tests were conducted for statistical analysis.Results The incidences of organic impairment and multi-organ impairment with asphyxia were 90.1 % and 71.6 % respectively. The frequency of organ dysfunction in severe asphyxia was significantly higher than that of mild group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of Par-4 gene silence on hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis in alveolar epithelial cells. Method The alveolar epithelial cells A549 were cultured and exposed to hydrogen peroxide. The siRNA sequences targeted Par-4 gene was chemically synthesized and transfected to A549 cells with or without the exposure of hydrogen peroxide. The cells were divided into normal control groups, hydrogen peroxide-treated group(The cells were treated with 0. 1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide), hydrogen peroxide and Par-4-siRNA-treated group(The cells were treated with 0. 1 mmol/L hydrogen peroxide after transfection of Par-4-siRNA), Non-specific DNA sequence transfection control group. The apoptosis of A549 cells was quantified by flow cytometry. The expression of Smac protein was detected by Western blot.Electrophoretic mobility shift assay was applied for evaluating the change of E2F1 DNA binding activity. Relative activity of Caspase-3 was detected by clolorimetric assay. Results The percent of apoptotic cells in hydrogen peroxide and Par-4-siRNA-treated group was (29.7 ± 2.3) %, which was significantly lower than that of hydrogen peroxide-treated group [(54.2 ± 4.1)%, q= 8.91, P ＜ 0.01)]. Par-4 siRNA could significantly suppress the increase of Smac protein, E2F1 DNA binding activity and caspase-3 activity induced by hydrogen peroxide in A549 cells. Conclusions Par-4 gene silence induced by siRNA might inhibit the apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells, which might be resulted from suppression of the up-regulation of Smac gene expression, E2F1 DNA binding activity and caspase-3 activity.
