Acta Anatomica Sinica 2002;0(06):-
Objective To investigate the interrelation between microtubule associated protein 5 and lysosome in cultured spinal neurons. Methods Neuron culture, immunofluorescence cytochemistry, laser confocal scanning microscope were used. Results In cultured spinal neurons, both of MAP5 and calthepsin D were distributed in cytoplasm and processes. In merged pictures, the distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D was almost similar. When nocodazole was employed, the distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D changed simultaneously. Both fluorescence distributed in cytoplasm was uneven and the process was shorter. When PMA was employed, the distribution of red and green fluorescence became reticulum and spread toward membrane. The soma enlarged and the process displayed certain direction accompanying adjacent processes interlinked.Conclusion In cultured spinal neurons, the distributions of MAP5 and lysosomes were almost similar. Both were in cytoplasm and process. Nocodazole and PMA caused reverse change for the distribution of MAP5 and lysosomes. The distribution of MAP5 and calthepsin D treatel with Nocodazole was unregulated, while PMA was regulated and loose. These results suggested that MAP5 and lysosomes were interrelated between structure and function. Both of them were depended on the integrity of microtubule.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of nitric oxide (NO) combined with sildenafil in the treatment of neonatal pulmonary hypertension. METHODS:66 cases of neonatal pulmonary hypertension were selected and randomly divided in-to observation group and control group,with 33 cases in each group. 2 groups of patients were given Dopamine injection 5 μg/(kg· min),ivgtt. Control group was given NO 5-20 ppm;observation group received oral or nasal feeding of Citric acid sildenafil tab-lets,0.5-1.0 mg/kg,96 h,on the basis of control group. Both group received 3 d of treatment. Clinical efficacy of 2 groups were observed as well as the level of PaO2,PaCO2,SaO2,PAP,NO,ET-1,HIF-1α,EPO and Ca2+before and after treatment. The inci-dence of ADR was compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Total effective rate of observation group was 96.97%,which was sig-nificantly higher than that of control group(75.76%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the levels of PaO2,PaCO2,SaO2,PAP,NO,ET-1,HIF-1α,EPO and Ca2+between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05);com-pared to before treatment,PaO2,SaO2,No and Ca2+ levels of 2 groups increased significantly after treatment,while PaCO2,PAP, EPO,HIF-1,ET-1 significantly lowered and the observation group was better than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Sildenafil combined with NO is effective in the treatment of neonatal pulmonary hypertension and can effectively improve pulmonary hypertension and blood gas indexes with good safety.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of mean channel of neutrophil volume (MNV), mean channel of neutrophil conductivity (MNC) and mean channel of neutrophil scatter (MNS) in predicting acute bacterial infection.Methods Peripheral blood samples from 112 patients with positive blood cultures for bacteria,70 healthy subjects and 45 non-infectious subjects with high white blood cell count(WBC) were studied using the Coulter LH 750 hematology analyzer.MNV, MNC, MNS and neutrophil volume distribution width (NDW) were retrospectively analyzed and compared with total WBC, percentage of neutrophils,neutrophil left-shift and CRP.112 blood bacterial infections were grouped according to WBC count (A:WBC <11.0×109 /L;B:11.0×109/L≤WBC<15.0×109 /L;C:WBC≥15.0×109 /L) and neutrophil rate (NE < 0.85 and NE ≥ 0.85 ).Results MNV and NDW increased significantly in septic patients (154.17 ± 10.08,24.36 ± 4.14 ) compared with those of healthy control group (142.09 ± 4.13,19.04 ± 1.97) and non-infectious patients with high WBC group ( 150.63 ± 8.14,20.19 ± 4.73 ).There was statistically significant difference (F value were 20.738 and 28.190 respectively,P < 0.01 ). On the contrary, MNS decreased significantly in septic patients (137.15 ± 7.61 ) compared with that of healthy group (144.51±4.36) and nonspetic patients with high WBC group (142.45±7.11) ,there was significant statistical difference (F=5.217,P<0.01).The MNV, NDW and MNS of A group were 148.09±5.76,22.39±1.97,140.07±6.11 respectively.The MNV, NDW and MNS of B group were 152.83±5.75,24.14±1.35,141.44±5.35 respectively.The MNV, NDW and MNS of C group were 164.28±6.49,29.42±5.93,134.27±9.61 respectively. There was statistically significant difference compared with healthy group (F value were 24.720,31.642,7.931, P < 0.01).The MNV, NDW and MNS in the group with NE <0.85 were 149.17±9.06,22.59±2.73,141.19±4.34 respectively.The MNV, NDW and MNS in the group with NE≥0.85 group were 159.03±10.23,27.64±4.51,135.62 ± 8.95 respectively.There was statistically significant difference compared with healthy group ( F value was 23.970,51.309,19.792,P<0.01).With a cut-off of 150 for the MNV, a specificity of 90% and sensitivity of 70% were achieved.NDW was associated with neutrophil left-shift (r=0.33,P<0.01).With a cut-off of 23 for the NDW, a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 72% were achieved.The sensitivity of the MNV and NDW was better than total white blood cells count (with a cut-off≥ 11.0×109 /L, the sensitivity was 57% ), percentage of neutrophils( with a cut-off≥0.85, the sensitivity was 44% ) and neutrophil shift to left ( with a cut-off >5%, the sensitivity was 66% ) and CRP (with a cut-off ≥10 mg/L, the sensitivity was 65% ).Conclusions The MNV and NDW of the neutrophil can reflect the morphologic change of neutrophil sensitively and specificialy in acute infection. As quantitative, objective and more sensitive parameters, MNV and NDW may have a potential role for predicting the acute bacterial infection.

Objective To investigate health beliefs and fluid status in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients, to explore the relation between fluid status and health beliefs in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods The data were collected from the peritoneal dialysis center in Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2014 through January 2015. A total of 64 diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were recruited and investigated with health beliefs scale, fluid status and laboratory index, the influencing factors were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Levels of perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was the lowest. The score of perceived barriers, levels of albumin and daily water intake in pedal edema diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were 35.34±10.31, (29.90±4.51) g/L,(860.34±516.71) ml/d, and the results in the non-pedal edema patients were 31.67±12.47, (32.72±6.87) g/L, (872.22±271.85) ml/d, the difference was significant (t=-1.99,2.09,-3.07, P<0.05 or 0.01). Perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was positively correlated with edematous level (r=0.16,P<0.05) and perceived capacity balancing was negatively correlated with edematous level (r=-0.25,P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that marital status,dialysis age,daily water intake and perceived barriers were the main factors influencing fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusions Fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients is affected by their health beliefs, this indicates that diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients must have insufficient awareness of fluid status and fluid adherence. It is suggested that they should establish comprehensive health beliefs.
