Objective To investigate the clinical effect and safety of alpha lipoic acid injection combined mecobalamin and prostaglandin E on type 2 diabetic patients complicated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods One hundred and sixty type 2 diabetic patients complicated with DPN in the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were randomly divided into the treatment group(n =80) and the control group (n =80).Three cases of the treatment group and 5 cases of the control group discharged early from the study because of their own reasons.There were 77 cases in the treatment group and 75 cases in the control group.On the basis of controlling blood glucose,patients in the two groups were given 500 μg mecobalamin combined with intramuscular injection once two days,as well as prostaglandinE 10 μg injection once a day.Patients in treatment group were added with 600 mg alpha lipoic acid for intravenous injection once a day for 10-14 days.Total symptom score (TSS),nerve conduction velocity,satisfaction and adverse reactions were evaluated before and after treatment.Results TSS score,tingling score,burning sensation score and hypoesthesia score,numb score in treatment group were (3.5 ± 2.5),(1.1 ± 0.4),(0.9 ± 0.7),(1.3 ± 0.4),(1.3 ± 0.9),significantly lower than those in control group (4.3 ± 2.1,t =2.11,P <0.05;1.5 ±0.5,t =1.86,P<0.05;1.3 ±0.5,t =1.83,P <0.05;1.7 ±0.5,t =1.87,P <0.05; 1.9 ± 0.4,t =1.91,P < 0.05).The median nerve conduction velocity,peroneal nerve motor conduction velocity,median nerve sensory conduction velocity,common peroneal nerve sensory conduction velocity of patients in treatment group were (53.6 ± 1.4) m/s,(49.6 ± 1.1) m/s,(47.3 ± 1.1) m/s,(48.2 ± 1.9) m/s,lower than those in control group((48.5 ±2.7) m/s,t =-4.94,P <0.05;(43.9 ±2.1) m/s,t =-5.36,P <0.05; (41.6 ± 1.8) m/s,t =-5.09,P <0.05;(43.2 ±2.5) m/s,t =-4.27,P < 0.05,P <0.05).In the treatment group,97.4% (75/77) physicians and 92.2% (71/77) patients were satisfied with treatment effect,while in the control group,84.0% (63/75) physicians and 78.7% (59/75) patients were satisfied with treatment effect.During the study periods,there were 3 cases with facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the treatment group,and 2 cases of facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the control group.All adverse reactions were spontaneous remission without any special treatment.Conclusion Alpha lipoic acid intravenous drip is effective in term of treating type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy,and with high safety.

Objective To design and produce specific stealth siRNAs and detect their inhibitive effects on TGF-?1 expression.Methods Three stealth siRNAs aimed directly at different sequences(stealth-48,stealth-166,stealth-594) in TGF-?1 mRNA were made.These siRNAs were transfected into BALB/c mouse lung fibroblast in vitro,then the TGF-?1 expression in those lung fibroblasts was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results In different time periods,the TGF-?1 expression was differently depressed by three stealth siRNAs in vitro.The inhibitory effects of stealth-166 was better than the other two stealth siRNAs.The inhibition could be detected in 48 h,reached the highest level in 72 h and began to attenuate 96 h later.Conclusion The TGF-?1 expression of mouse lung fibroblasts in vitro can be depressed by synthetic stealth siRNAs.It seems possible to provide a new way for the treatment of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis.

Objective:To discuss the therapeutic effect of pharmaceutical care for old patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods:Totally 192 patients diagnosed as COPD were randomly divided into 2 groups according to a random num-ber table, 100 cases in the experimental group and 92 cases in the control group. The control group was treated with the conditional therapy, and the experimental group was treated with pharmaceutical care additionally. The studieds on COPD assessment test ( CAT) , modified British medical research council ( mMRC) and the value of pulmonary function index ( FEV1% index) were carried out and compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the CAT score, mMRC classification and FEV1% index between the two groups on admission (P>0. 05), however, after the treatment, the CAT score and mMRC classifica-tion were decreased and FEV1% index was increased in the two groups, and there was statistical significance between them ( P <0. 05). The CAT score and mMRC classification in the experimental group were lower and FEV1% index was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05). Compared with the medication errors(n=13, 14.13%) and incidence of adverse drug reactions(n=5, 5. 43%) in the control group, the medication errors(n=2, 2. 0%) and incidence of adverse drug reactions (0%) in the experimental group were significantly decreased. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists provide effectively pharmaceutical care, which can significantly improve the clinical therapeutic efficacy in old patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Imatinib mesilate (Imatinib) on intimal hyperplasia of rabbit carotid arteries after balloon injury. Methods Thirty adult Newzealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:group A, B and C. Their right carotid arteries were injuried then administered with 0, 25 or 50 mg/kg of Imatinib dai?ly for 14 consecutive days when the rabbits were sacrificed. The carotid arteries were harvested and sectioned for HE-stain?ing and immunohistochemisty staining. Real-Time PCR was used to examine transcription levels of PDGF-B and PDGFR-βmRNA. The plasma level of PDGF-BB was assayed by ELISA. Results Arterial intimal hyperplasia and stenosis following balloon injury were seen in three groups. Thickness and area of neointima, ratio of thickness of intima to media, ratio of area of intima to media and mRNA level of PDGF-β are all higher in group A than those in group B than those in group C (P<0.01). By contrast, the mRNA transcription level of PDGFR-β increased significantly in group C than that in group A (1.236±0.356 vs 0.708±0.372;t=2.91;P<0.01). Plasma level of PDGF-BB increased in all three groups after balloon injury than that in the baseline (P<0.01). The transcription level of PDGF-BB is higher in group A than that in group B and in group C (ng/L:23.464±3.542, 19.504±2.454, 16.588±1.207, F=17.322, P<0.05). There was no difference between group B and C. There was positive correlation between mRNA transcription level of PDGF-B and plasma level of PDGF-BB ( r=0.806, P<0.01). Conclusion Vascular injury can cause intimal hyperplasia and increased PDGF-B mRNA transcription. Imatinib mesilate could inhibit the intimal hyperplasia through down regulating PDGF-B mRNA transcription.

Objective To establish an expression system of TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein by baculovirus vector ex-pression system and identify biological function of expressed TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein. Methods γ9Fc and 82 (OT3) Fc gene fragments were amplified by overlap PCR and inserted into expression vector pBACp10ph. The recombinant plasmid pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc and the baculovirus DNA were co-transfected into st9 cells. The expression position of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc was identified by Western blot and the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and δ2 (OT3) Fc was tested by flow cytometry (FCM). Furthermore, the binding activity of TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein with SKOV3 ceils and MNS protein was evaluated with laser scanning confocal microslopy and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). Results The recombinant vector pBACp10ph-γ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc was constructed and TCRγ9/δ2(OT3)-Fc protein was expressed in sf9 ceils. However, the expression efficiency of γ9Fc and 82 (0T3) Fc was quite differ-ent. It was proved that purified TCRγ9/δ2 (OT3)-Fc protein can bind with SKOV3 cell and MNS protein. Conclu-sion TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein is successfully expressed in baculovirus vector expression system and TCRγ9/δ2-Fc protein can simulate the binding activity of TCR in vitro.
