Conclusion:The extraction technology is simple, reasonable and reliable.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationships among atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and cerebral vasospasm (CVS) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and hyponatremia.MethodsPlasma ANP levels and serum natrium and blood flow rate of intracal major arterial were assessed at different times (1 to 3 days, 7 days and 14 days after SAH) in 42 patients with SAH. Correlation analysis was carried out among plasma ANP, blood sodium level and blood flow rate of intracal major arterial.Results28 patients had CVS. Plasma ANP levels in CVS patients significantly elevated compared with non-CVS and control subjects (P<0.05). Hyponatremia in CVS patients also significantly elevated compared with non-CVS subjects (P<0.05). Plasma ANP level had significant negative relationship with serum natrium level at the 7th day and 14th day (r2=-0.778,r3=-0.653;P<0.01,P<0.05) in SAH patients. Plasma ANP level had significant positive correlation with middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity on the 7th day (r3=0.702,P<0.05) in SAH patients. Middle cerebral artery mean flow velocity had significant negative relationship with serum natrium level on the 7th day and 14th day (r2=-0.693,r3=-0.653 , both P<0.05) in SAH patients.ConclusionANP might cause hyponatremia following SAH and play an important role in pathogenesis of earlier period CVS.

Objective To understand the prevalence and distribution characteristics of symptoms of anorectal diseases in Chinese residents(older than 18) as to provide reference for prevention,care and treatment of anorectal diseases.Methods Stratified sampling was used according to the economic level in every province in the country,and each province selected two cities.Face-toface interviews were used to collect data in 68 906 interviewers and SPSS 17.0 was performed to analyze the data.Results Of 68 906 respondents,25 634 (37.20 ％) reported to suffer from at least one symptoms of anorectal diseases.The prevalence of the top 5 main symptoms of anorectal diseases were prolapse of anus neoplasms(14.55％),anal sore(16.53％),anal pendant expansion (14.98 ％),perianal abscess (5.88 ％),hematochezia (22.52 ％).Each symptom frequency difference was statistically significant (x2=7 727.6,P＜0.001).Populations which proned to suffer from symptoms of anorectal disease had the following characteristics:living in city,male,ageing 25-54 years old,having specialist qualifications,lacking of physical.Conclusion The prevalence of symptoms of anorectal diseases among Chinese residents was high,and each symptom had its distribution characteristics.More targeted interventions should be taken in anorectal disease prone people.

Objective To examin and analyze the structure, ultrastructure and the circulation of the spleen ellipsoid in the soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiseus sinensis. Methods Twelve turtles were used and observed by light- and electron-microscopy and injection of ink suspension in this study. Results The spleen white pulp was consisted of the periarteriolar lymphatic sheath (PALS) and periellipsoidial lymphatic sheath (PELS). There was no lymphoid nodule in the spleen. Red pulp included splenic cords and splenic sinusoids. The marginal zone was not found in the turtle spleen. When the central arteriole left out of the PALS, it divided into several ellipsoid capillaries which were surround by the PELS. The end of the ellipsoid capillary opened directly to the splenic cord and the blood cells then entered into the splenic sinusoid through the gap between the endothelial cells. The ellipsoid capillary was consisted of simple cuboidal epithelium with an uncompleted basement membrane. The ellipsoid wall was consisted of supporting cells,ellipsoid-associated cells and reticular fibres. Lymphocytes and red cells were always found on the ellipsoid wall. After 40min of the injection of ink suspesion, much carbon particles of ink were restricted on the wall. Conclusion The ellipsoid capillary in the soft-shelled turtle, just like the high endothelial venule, was the important passage of the lymphocytes and blood cells going out and into the lymph tissue. The splenic circulation in the turtle belongs to the opening model.

Objective To investigate the role of oxidative stress-dependent Rasextracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2) signaling in aldosterone (ALDO)-induced mesangial cell proliferation. Methods The incorporation of 3H-thymidine (3H-TdR) and cell count were used as the measure of mesangial cell (MC) proliferation.Western blotting was used to detect the activation of Ki-RasA,c-Raf,MEK1/2,ERK1/2 and PI3K. Results Aldosterone significantly induced human mesangial cell proliferation,and anti-oxidant N-Acetylcysteine (NAC),catalase,and super oxide dismutase (SOD) significantly inhibited ALDO-induced mesangial cell proliferation (P＜0.01,respectively).Stimulation by ALDO for 3 h,Ki-RasA,c-Raf,MEK1/2,and ERK1/2 activity increased by 4.05-, 3.62-, 4.52-, and 3.40-fold compared with control group (P ＜0.01,respectively).NAC almost completely blocked ALDO-induced Ki-RasA,c-Raf,MEK1/2,and ERK1/2 activation (P＜0.01,respectively).Ki-RasA siRNA dose-dependently inhibited Ki-RasA expression, ALDO-induced Ki-RasA activation, and mesangial cell proliferation (P ＜0.01,respectively).c-Raf inhibitor GW5074 and MEK1/2 inhibitor PD98059 also reduced ALDO-induced mesangial cell proliferation by 65％ respectvely (P＜0.01).Ki-RasA siRNA had no effect on ALDO-induced PI3K phosphorylation.Combining LY294002 and PD98059 completely blocked ALDO-induced mesangial cell proliferation (P＜0.01). Conclusions ALDO-induced Ki-RasA-c-Raf-MEK-ERK signaling activation is dependent on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production,which mediates ALDO-induced mesangial cell proliferation.Inhibition of both ERK1/2 and PI3K signaling simultaneously completely blocks ALDO-induced mesangial cell proliferation.

The aim of this study is to synthesize the ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) as drug carrier to improve release property of insoluble drug and investigate the dissolution profile of insoluble drug from the porous carrier. The OMS was obtained by using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as the template and resveratrol was selected as the model drug. The resveratrol-loaded OMS (Res-OMS) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectroscopy. In vitro drug release behavior was also investigated. It was found that the synthesized OMS showed a large surface area, a narrow pore size distribution and an important mesoporosity associated to hexagonally organized channels. Compared with physical mixture and crystalline powder, resveratrol was in amorphous or molecular form after loading into OMS. The release rate ofresveratrol from drug-loaded OMS was significantly increased suggesting the great potential application of OMS for the formulation of poorly soluble drugs.

Objective To analyze the association of the morbidity,the management of blood glucose,and the prognosis of patients with hyperglycemia in the medical intensive care units(ICU).Methods Medical records of ICU patients of Renji Hospital from 2002 to 2009 were reviewed using Medical Record Inquiry System,and the data were retrospectively analyzed.Results(1)2631 subjects were included in the present study,blood glucose was determined at least once during hospitalization in 2168 of them.The incidence of hyperglycemia was 26.3%,in which 12.9% presented a known history of diabetes and 13.4% without.In the patients with diabetes history,93.2% of them received anti-diabetic treatment during hospitalization.mainly with oral anti-hyperglyeemic agents (53.0%)or subcutaneous insulin injection(24.9%).However,in the patients without diabetes history,84.4% were not treated against hyperglycemia.The mortality was increased in the latter group(30.4% vs13.9%,P<0.01).(2)In the patients with diabetes history,the mortality in patients whose blood glucose>10 mmol/L was higher than those with blood glucose≤7.0 mmol/L(20.5% vs 9.9%,P<0.05):while in the patients without diabetes history,the mortality began to rise as blood glucose>7.0 mmol/L(P<0.01).(3)Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that the average blood glucose level was an independent risk factor for death(OR=1.26).Conclusions The ICU patients showed a high prevalence of hyperglycemia,the management of hyperglycemia should be emphasized.Hyperglycemia in critically ill patients might be an independent risk factor of increased mortality.

Objective To observe the application effect of the risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm(ROMA)in screening ovarian cancer among high risk population.Methods The human epididymis protein 4(HE4)and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125 )were detected in 1 753 cases of high risk for overian cancer,56 cases of ovarian cancer(positive control)and 60 healthy people,patients. Then the ROMA value was calculated in combination with the subject′s menstruation status.The detection results were analyzed and compared among groups.The high risk group for ovarian cancer devided according to the ROMA value was further performed the confirmatory test and the low risk group was monitored by follow up.The detection rates of ovarian cancer were compared be-tween the two subgroups.Results In the high risk population,the diagnostic performance of the ROMA value for ovarian cancer was superior to that of the single HE4 or CA125;the ROMA value had statistically significant difference between the high risk sub-group in the high-risk population with ovarian cancer or the healthy control group(P <0.05);in 1 753 cases of high risk popula-tion,37 cases were included in the high risk subgroup,in which 3 cases of ovarian cancer were screened out and in clinical early stage.The detection rate of ovarian cancer in the high risk subgroup was 8.1%.No case of ovarian cancer was detected out in the low risk subgroup.Conclusion The ROMA value is conducive to early screening for ovarian cancer in the high risk population, which can save the medical cost and increase the detection rate.

Objective To study the expression and prognostic significance of neuroendocrine differentiation markers chromogranin A(CgA)and synaptophysin(SYN) in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods From January 2000 to January 2003,123 patients with NSCLC who received operations were investigated.The resected specimens and clinical data were collected.Immunohistochemical Elivison method was used to detecte the expression of CgA and SYN.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazard model multivariate analysis were applied for the prognostic factors. Results The positive expression rates of CgA and SYN were 22%,17.9%,respectively.The expression of SYN was associated with histological differentiation(P=0.001).No significant association was found between NSCLC with neuroendocrine differentiation(NSCLC-ND) and sex,age,smoke index,TNM Stage and pathology classification.No evidence showed the patients with positive expression of CgA or SYN could be tolerant with more cycles of chemotherapy(P=0.406).Kaplan-Meier survival curve indicated the survival had a relation with the expression of CgA and SYN.It was revealed by Cox analysis that SYN(P=0.001),TNM stage(P=0.02)and the maximal diameter of tumor(P=0.049) were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion The patients with NSCLC-ND had a poorer prognosis.SYN may be one of the prognostic factors in patients with NSCLC.
