Objective To evaluate the effects of leg ischemic postconditioning on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in diabetic rats. Methods Forty male diabetic SD rats weighing 270-320 g were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups (n=10 each):group Ⅰcontrol (C);group Ⅱ sham operation (S);group Ⅲ fecal cerebral ischemia-repertusion (I/R) and group Ⅳ leg ischemic postconditioning (IPC). Diabetes mellitus was induced by intraperitoneal streptozotocin. Local cerebral I/R was produced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 1.5 h followed by 6 h reperfusion. A nylon thread with rounded tip was inserted into internal carotid artery and threaded cranially until resistance was felt. Leg isebemia was induced by placing tourniquet on beth legs at 30 min before repeffusion. The animals underwent 3 episodes of 5 min leg ischemia at 5 min intervals. Neuro-functional deficit was assessed and recorded at the end of 6h reperfusion using neurologic deficit scores (NDS) (0=no deficit, 4=unable to crawl and semiconscious). The animals were then decapitated and their brains were removed for determination of volume of cerebral infaret (by TIC staining) and ratio' of neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL). Results NDS and cerebral infarct volume were significantly increased at the end of 6 h reperfusion in group I/R and IPC as compared with group C and S. IPC significantly decreased cerebral infarct volume and ratio of neuronal apoptosis induced by MCAO. There was no significant difference in NDA between group I/R and IPC. Conclusion Leg iscbemic postconditioning can protect the brain against focal cerebral I/R injury in diabetic rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of color ultrasound-guided interventional treatment for popliteal cyst. Methods Under the guidance of color ultrasonography,the cyst was punctured and the fluid was drew out.After repeated irrigation of the cyst cavity with normal saline,the absolute alcohol was injected and indwelled for about 5 min.The absolute alcohol injection was repeated for 2~3 times.Results Out of 23 cases,22 cases were cured on single procedure and 1 case was cured after the second treatment.Follow-up for 6 months in all the cases found no recurrence.Conclusions Interventional treatment for popliteal cyst under color ultrasonic guidance is simple,minimally invasive,safe,effective,and repeatable.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the bioequiavailability of two kinds of loratadine tabletes in Chinese healthy volunteers.METHODS:A single oral dose 40 mg of two loratadine preparations(reference and test preparations)was given to 20 volunteers(whom were divided into two groups)in a randomized cross-over study.The concentration of loratadine in plasma was determined by solid phase extraction-HPLC.RESULTS:The main pharmacokinetic parameters of reference and test preparations were as follows:Cmax were(17.00?3.90)and(18.41?2.58)?g?L-1;tmax were(1.06?0.25)and(0.93?0.20)h;t1/2Ke were(1.34?0.38)and(1.08?0.38)h;AUC0～∞ were(37.41?17.38)and(36.38?16.73)?g?h?L-1;AUC0～8 were(35.11?15.72)and(34.76?15.34)?g?h?L-1,respectively.The relative bioavailability of the test preparation was(99.0?18.7)% as against the reference preparation,and no significant differences was noted for the two formulations in ANOVA and two-one side t test.CONCLUSION:The two formulations were bioequivalent.

Objective To investigate effects of limbs ischemic postconditioning induced remote postconditioning (RPostC) on mitochondria structure and function after focal cerebral ischemic reperfusion(I/R) injury in diabetic rats. Methods The diabetic rats models were induced by injecting streptozotocin into abdominal cavity. I/R rats models were made by MCAO with thread. Forty male SD rats models were assigned to 4 groups: control group; sham operation group; I/R group;RPostC group ( n=10 ) . 6 h after the reperfusion, the brains were obtained for HE staining. The mitchondria were isolated and content of MDA,the activities of SOD,Na+/K+-ATPase,Ca2+-ATPase and GSH-Px were tested. Morphological changes of neuronal mitochondria were observed by electronic microscope. Results In the I/R group,the content of mitchondria MDA[(4.99?1.25) nmol/mgprot]were markedly increased (P

Objective To observe the effect of ischemic postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)injury in diabetic rats. Methods A rat model of diabetes was established using a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in 40 male Spragne-Dawley rats.Focal ischemia was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)using a thread.The rats were randomly assigned to a control group,a sham-operated group,an I/R group and an Ⅰ-Post group.The animals in the I/R group were subjected to MCAO for 90 min and then reperfusion.Those in the Ⅰ-post group were subjected to MCAO and 3 cycles of transient ischemia-reperfusion(15 seconds ischemia then 15 seconds reperfusion)before persistent reperfusion.Neurological deficit scores,infarct volume,histological changes in the brain and the number of apoptotic cells were measured 6 hours later.Results There was no significant difference in neurological deficit scores between the I/R group and the Ⅰ-post group.The histological changes and apoptotic cells were significantly less in the Ⅰ-post group compared with the I/R group.Conclusion Ischemic postconditioning can inhibit cell apoptosis and reduce cerebral I/R injury after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in diabetic rats.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of malignant transformation in human bronchial epithelial cell line BEP2D exposed to α-particles.Methods The levels of intracellular ROS and malonaldehyde (MDA) in BEP2D,RH22 (passage 22 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells) and BERP35T-1 cells (derived from nude mice bearing malignant transformed cells generated from the passage 35 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells) were assayed with DCFH-DA and MDA kit,respectively.The expressions of 8-OH-dG and γ-H2AX in BEP2D,RH23 (passage 23 of α-particle-irradiated BEP2D cells)and BERP35T-1 cells were also measured with immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescence staining.Results Compared to BEP2D cells,the levels of ROS ( t =4.30 and 3.94,P ＜ 0.05 ) and MDA ( t =4.89 and 15.10,P ＜0.05) increased in RH22 and BERP35T-1 cells.The expressions of 8-OH-dG (t =3.80 and 2.92,P ＜ 0.05 ) and γ-H2AX ( t =7.61 and 12.67,P ＜ 0.05 ) in RH23 and BERP35T-1 cells were also higher than those in BEP2D cells.Conclusions Oxidative stress induces lipid peroxidation and DNA damage leading to genomic instability,which could contribute to cellular malignant transforming process in the human bronchial epithelial cell line BEP2D with α-particle exposure.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging features of spastic paraplegia caused by spinal cord Wallerian degeneration after pontine infarction, and to analyze its occurrence process and mechanism.Methods:The clinical manifestations and imaging features of two patients with spastic paraplegia caused by spinal cord Wallerian degeneration after pontine infarction were reported for the first time in China. Combined with anatomy and review of the literature, the mechanism, imaging manifestations and clinical features of Wallerian degeneration of lateral funiculus of spinal cord after pontine infarction were analyzed systematically.Results:Case 1 was a 65 years old female, and case 2 was a 58 years old male, who were treated in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University on December 7, 2018 and June 23, 2019 respectively. All the two patients presented with strength weakness of both limbs, hypertonia, symmetric hyperreflexia, and bilateral extensor plantar responses, which suggested spastic paraplegia secondary to upper motor neuron involvement. Spastic paraplegia appeared eight months after pontine infarction in case 1 and appeared six months after pontine infarction in case 2. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed continuous iso-T 1 and high-T 2 signals of bilateral pyramidal tracts below the pontine foci. Case 1 showed lesions of lateral cord of medulla oblongata, cervical spinal cord and thoracic spinal cord, and case 2 showed lesions of lateral cord of medulla oblongata and cervical spinal cord. At the same time, motor neuron disease and metabolic disease were excluded by electromyography and laboratory examination, inflammatory demyelinating disease was excluded by cerebrospinal fluid examination in one case. The syndromes, in combination with a continuous strip of abnormal signal revealed by magnetic resonance imaging which was consistent with the pyramidal tract and connected with the primary lesion suggested wallerian degeneration of spinal cord secondary to pontine infarction. The clinical symptoms of two cases were gradually aggravated in follow-up. Conclusions:Spinal cord Wallerian degeneration is a sequel after pontine infarction, which is related to the prognosis of the disease. A full understanding of its clinical manifestations and imaging features can avoid clinical misdiagnosis as other diseases.

A method was developed for the determination of sodium caprylate in human serum albumin by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC) after pre-column derivatization. The caprylic acid, extracted from human serum albumin by hexane, was treated with ω-bromoacetophenone and 18-crown-6 for 30 min at 50 ℃, and analyzed on a Nova-Park C_(18)(150 mm×3.9 mm, 4 μm) column with methanol-water(75∶ 25, V/V) as the mobile phase. The internal standard was enanthic acid, the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min and the detection wavelength was 262 nm. The extraction yield of caprylic acid was 97.9% and that of enanthic acid was 98.2%. The linear range of sodium caprylate was 9.00×10~(-4)-1.44×10~(-2) mol/L(r=0.9995). The average recovery of caprylic acid was 99.7%, RSD was less than 0.9%. The present method is reliable and relatively simple and can be used for the determination of sodium caprylate in human serum albumin.

Objective Through observing the change of serum cTnT level and other biochemical markers such as T3 and TNF-αin acute ischemic stroke patients , to investigate the correlation between the indictors change and short-term prognosis and stroke severity .Methods This study observed 68 patients (male 35 cases ,mean age 68 ±11.4 years; female 33 cases, mean age 69 ±10.3 years).All cases were collected fasting blood sample to test cTnT ,T3 and TNF-α.Death and other unexpected events were recorded in the form of telephone follow-up within one month in survival patients during and discharge from hospital.Results According to cTnT detection level ,all cases were divided into two groups , normal group (54 cases,79.4%) and positive group(14 cases,20.6%).There was statistical significance between posi-tive cTnT and NIHSS score neurological deficits ( p <0.01).cTnT was negratively correlated with T3( r =-0.324 , P <0.05 ) ,but positively with TNF-α( r =0.67 , P =0.017 ) .All patients were followed up for one month.14.7%patients died including 11.7%during hospital and 3% after discharge.After age, NIHSS adjustment cTnT remains an independent risk factor for death ( RR=2.34 ,95%CI=1.22-5.02 , P<0.01 ) .Conclusion After acute ischemic stroke , cTnT is correlated with dropping T 3 level and in-creasing TNF-αlevel, suggesting that both stress and inflammatory response may be involved in heart dam-age.Abnormal elevation of cTnT influenced short-term prognosis of acute ischemic stroke , which can be used as short-term indicators of poor prognosis in the clinical observations .
