3.Impact of hirudin on the numbers of CD34 positive microvessel and RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil in perihematoma tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2010;18(10):740-744
Objective To observe the dynamic changes of the numbers of CD34 positive microvessel and RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil in perihematoma tissue after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in rats at different time points and the impact of thrombin-specific inhibitor hirudin on the above different indicators and to investigate the protective mechanisms of hirudin for brain injury following ICH. Methods An experimental model was made with autologous whole blood injecting into the rat brain basal ganglia by using the stereotactic method. The rats were randomly assigned to sham operation, ICH, hirudin intervention, and normal saline groups.CD34 and RCA-1 immunobistochemistry stainings and conventional HE staining were used to observe CD34-positive microvessel, RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil.Results The numbers of CD34-positive microvessel began to decrease at 12 hours after ICH, it decreased to the lowest at 72 hours, and it gradually returned to normal levels at day 7. The RCA-1 positive cells could be observed at 6 hours after ICH. It reached the peak at 48 hours. A small amount could persist for two weeks. Neutrophil could be observed at 12 hours after ICH. It reached the peak at 48 hours and disappeared at week 2. The administration of hirudin significantly reduced the numbers of RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil in the early stage of ICH (5 min). At the same time, it significantly inhibited the decreased numbers of CD34-positive microvessel (all P <0. 01). The administration of hirudin during the edema formation also significantly reduced the numbers of RCA-1 positive cell and neutrophil (all P< 0.05), however, it could not significantly increase the numbers of CD34-positive microvessel. Conclusions Thrombinmediated inflammatory response has involved in the process of brain injury after ICH, and early administration of hirudin may significantly relieve perihematoma tissue injury.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2005;9(40):183-185
BACKGROUND: There are many studies from both domestic and abroad certifying the conclusion that sport exercise can descend state anxiety even though the study outcome is diversified.OBJECTIVE: Analysis of the effects of different exercise intensities on state anxiety and physiologic index of female college students taking different exercise frequencies, in order to take exercise of adequate intensity for descending the state anxiety of female college students.DESIGN: Matched observations, selecting female college students as subjects stochastically. SETTING: Department of Military Sports, China Metrology College. PARTICIPANTS: Totally 60 students from the Management Department and Track and Field Department of Shanghai Physical Culture Institute were selected as the subjects from March 2004 to July 2004. The subjects were categorized into two groups: frequent exercise group and infrequent exercise group according to exercise frequency (3 times per week, above 30 minutes each time), and each group consisted of 30 subjects.METHODS: All subjects were tested on running stage of Swiss-made Monark power bicycle with the time length: 20 minutes, exercise intensity 30%VO2max and 75%VO2max. The exercise intensity of subjects was deter mined by the linear relationship between oxygen uptake and heart rate. The state anxiety of the students was assessed with state-trait anxiety scale which have 40 items in a survey questionnaire of two pages. The state anxiety was mainly evaluated with the state anxiety survey questionnaire of items 1-20 under stress condition, and the human emotional experiences were appraised with the trait anxiety survey questionnaire of items 21-40. Each scale was then rated from 1-4, 1 = almost nothing, 2 = a little, 3 = sometimes, 4= approximately always. The questionnaire were handed out and collected respectively in 3 time intervals (immediate, 5 minutes, 20 minutes), before and after exercise the students' heart rate and blood pres sure were tested with PoLar distance cardiotachometer and HeM-741c oMron electronic blood pressure gauge in the same time intervals before and after exercise. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of the effects of different exercise intensities on the state anxiety of female college students taking exercise of different frequencies. Evaluation on their heart rate and blood pressure.RESULTS: Totally 60 survey questionnaires were handed out and 60 col lected with the collection percentage of 100%. ①Variation of state anxiety under different exercise intensity. In infrequent exercise group,as compared with those prior to the test, the state anxiety of subjects in infrequent exercise are descended remarkably (P < 0.01) in 30%VO2max exercise of the 3 time intervals immediate, 5 minutes and 20 minutes, with the descent amplitude: 9.286, 24.44%; the state anxiety was descended as well in the 75%VO2max exercise of the 3 time intervals, but without remarkable descent amplitude. In frequent exercise group, the state anxiety was descended remarkably (P < 0.01-0.05) in 75%VO2max exercise of the 3 time intervals with the descent amplitude: 5.575, 19.5%; the state anxiety was descended remarkably in 30%VO2max exercise for 20 minutes. ② Assessment on heart rate and blood pressure indexes. In frequent exercise group, heart rate showed temporal elevation immediately after test, and soon resumed to previous level before test;diastolic blood pressure (DBP) remained stable. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) showed temporal elevation immediately after test and SBP showed remarkable descent with the greatest degree in 75%VO2max exercise for 20 minutes. In infrequent exercise group, heart rate and SBP showed descent after elevation. SBP showed descent remarkably in 75% VO2max exercise and 30%VO2max exercise for 20 minutes, and more remarkably in 30%VO2max exercise particularly. DBP showed descent remarkably in aerobic exercise 5 minutes or 20 minutes.CONCLUSION: 75%VO2max aerobic exercise can descend noticeably the state anxiety of female college students in frequent exercise group , and 30%VO2max can eff

ObjectiveTo understand the clinical and microbiological characteristics of AIDS-associated bloodstream infection (BSI).MethodsThe clinical and laboratory ifndings of 143 cases of BSI in AIDS patients who were hospitalized during the period from 2013 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe prevalence of BSI in AIDS patients was 22.1%. The 143 patients were divided into two groups in terms of fungal or bacterial infection. The incidence of speciifc skin rashes, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and lymph node enlargement in fungal infection group was higher than those in bacterial infection group (allP<0.05). CD4+ cell count, WBC, neutrophils, RBC, hemoglobin, and platelet count in fungal infection group were lower than those in bacterial infection group, while AST and Cr were the opposite (allP<0.05).Penicillium marneffei(84/143, 58.7%) was the most common pathogen isolated from AIDS-associated BSI, followed byEscherichia coli (10/143, 7.0%),Cryptococcus neoformans (9/143, 6.3%),Klebsiella pneumoniae (7/143, 4.9%),Salmonella (6/143, 4.2%),Candida albicans(3/143, 2.1%), andAeromonas (3/143, 2.1%). Most strains were still susceptible to the commonly used antibiotics.ConclusionsThe prevalence of BSI is high in AIDS patients. Fungal BSI is more likely to have skin rash, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy, hematologic abnormalities, liver and renal function impairment. Fungi, especiallyPenicillium marneffei, are the main pathogen of AIDS-associated BSI. Most strains are susceptible to the commonly used antibiotics.

Objective The aim of this study is to examine the effect of myoophenolate mofetil (MMF) on epithelial-myofibroblast transiation(EMT) in adenine-induced chronic renal failure (CRF) rat model and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and inhibitor of differentiation (Id2 and Id3) in EMT in the rat kidney. Methods Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: normal control (n=16), CRF (n=24) and MMF(n=24). CRF was induced by gastric gavage of adenine (125 mg·kg-1·d-1) to rats for eight weeks. CRF rats were treated with MMF (15 mg·kg-1·d-1) as "MMF" group. The rats were sacrificed at week 2, 4, 6 and 8, respectively.Urinary protein and serum ereatinine levels were measured, and the histopathologic degrees of interstitial fibrosis were evaluated in Massen-stained sections. Expressions of a-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1), VEGF and Id (Id2 and Id3) in the kidney tissue were assessed by immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and/or Western blot methods. Results The urinary protein level in MMF group was evidently lower than that in CRF group (P<0.01), whereas no statistically significant difference was observed in serum creatinine level between the two groups. Renal interstitial fibrosis was reduced significantly with MMF treatment (P<0.01). Expression of α-SMA in MMF group was lower than that in CRF rats at week 6, 8 (P<0.01), while expression of TGFβ1 was decreased markedly at week 2, 4,6 (P<0.01). The expressions of VEGF in MMF rats were increased significantly at week 6,8 (P<0.01),and Id2,Id3 in MMF rats were increased significantly at week 4,6 (P<0.05). Conclusions MMF may ameliorate chronic renal fibrosis and EMT in adenine-induced CRF rats. This effect of MMF on EMT is probably related to upregulation of VEGF, Id2 and Id3 expressions and suppressing overexpression of TGFβ1 in renal tissue. The exact mechanism needs to be studied further.
