Objective To study the inhibition of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation(IDLPO)by apigenin on rat cerebral homogenate in vitro and to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of apigenin on acute transient focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods In vitro IDLPO on rat cerebral homogenate was induced with ferrous sulfate,the incubation mixture was observed at three various concentration of apigenin and deferoxamine(DFX),and malondialdehyde(MDA)level was assayed by the 2-thiobarbituric acid(TBA)test.In vivo,the transient focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion model in rats was established with insertion of thread embolish into middle cerebral artery.In experiment groups the neurological behavior scores,TTC stain of brain slices,and neurocyte morphology were observed.The homogenate of left hemisphere was collected for investigating the effect of apigenin on content of MDA and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)in 24,48,and 72 h.Results MDA was reduced in three various concentration of apigenin on rat cerebral homogenate(P0.05).In vivo,abnormal neurological behavior scores existed and typical cortical infarct lesions were found by TTC stain in both apigenin and model groups.An obvious intracellular and intercellular edema and vacuolization were found in the cerebral cortexes and hippocampuses in model group.There was karyopycnosis in glias and neurons.However lesion was alleviated in apigenin group.The MDA contents in both apigenin and model groups were increased greatly compared to ones of Sham-operated group,respectively(P

Objective To investigate the effect of influenza virus on the expression of collagen triple he-lix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1). Methods A549 cells were infected with influenza virus. mRNA and protein levels of CTHRC1 were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot , CTHRC1 levels in the cell supernatants and sera of influenza virus infected patients were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The difference of CTHRC1 levels between healthy controls and HCV patients was analyzed. Results Compared with controls, mRNA and protein levels of CTHRC1 were higher in A549 cells infected with H3N2. Serum CTHRC1 levels were higher in influenza virus infected patients than in healthy controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion Influenza virus can promote the synthesis and secretion of CTHRC1.

Objective To observe the effect of apigenin on the recovery of neurological function following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and investigate its mechanism. Methods Ninety male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into a sham-operated group, a model group and an apigenin-treated group. A transient ( 1.5 h) focal cerebral ischemia-reperfu-sion model was established in the rats of the model and apigenin-treated groups. In the sham-operated rats the middle cere-bral artery was not occluded. The rats in the apigenin-treated group received an intra-abdominal injection of apigenin, and the rats in the other two groups received injections of normal saline solution. Neurological behavior scores were assessed in accordance with the Zea Longa method at the 24th, 48th and 72nd hour and the 7th day after reperfusion. Cellular and sub-cellular morphology were observed with an optical microscope and an electron microscope, and the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were measured using ELISA. Results Neurological function improved by the 7th day after reperfusion in the model group, but improved significantly by the 72nd hour after reperfusion in the apigenin-treated group. Average TNF-α and IL-1β levels in the model group and the apigenin-treated group were significantly higher than in the sham-operated group. Av-erage TNF-α and IL-1β levels in the apigenin-treated group were significantly lower than in the model group at the 48th and 72nd hour after reperfusion. Neurological behavior scores had a positive correlation with the IL-1β and TNF-α levels. In the model group, obvious intracellular and intercellular edema and vacuolization were observed in the ischemic cortices and hippocampuses, with remarkable karyopycnosis and organelle broadening and dissolution and vacuolization in glial cells and neurons. In the apigenin-treated group, similar but significantly milder morphological changes were observed. Conclusion Apigenin can promote the recovery of neurological function in rats by downregulating the expression of TNF-α and IL-1βfollowing focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.

OBJECTIVE To study the isolation,distributive characteristics and drug resistance of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection of two years and provide the evidence for treatment. METHODS A total of 528 strains of Gram-negative bacilli collected from daily specimens were identified with Bio-Fosun-Ⅰ,and AmpC enzyme was screened by cefoxitin disk and then corroborated by EDTA disk method. All data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Among 528 strains collected,136 (25.75%) were AmpC enzyme producing strains,the respective percentage of Pseudomonas aerugionsa,Echerichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Citrobacter was 32.35%,28.67%,18.38%,8.09% and 5.15%,respectively. Most strains (38.9%) were detected in ICU. The common infection sites were lungs. The resistance rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to the first,second and third-generations cephalosporins was 71.3-99.5%. The susceptive rate of AmpC enzyme producing strains to imipenem,cefepine,amikacin and piperacillin/tazobactant were low. CONCLUSIONS For effective supervision and control of AmpC enzyme producing Gram-negative bacilli in nosocomial infection,detection of AmpC enzyme shoud be paid much attention by clinical microbiology laboratory.

Objective To investigate the right ventricular morphology and function of patients with atrial septal defects by single beat real-time three-dimensional echocardiography.Methods Thirty-four healthy volunteers and twenty-seven ASD patients were enrolled consecutively as normal controls and the ASD group respectively.Single cardiac cycle real-time three dimensional echocardiography was performed in all to evaluate parameters concerning modality and systolic function of participants' right ventricle.The relationship of indexed right ventricular end diastolic volume (IEDVRV) and end systolic volume(IESVRV)with mean pulmonary arterial pressure measured through cardiac catheter and systolic pulmonary artery pressure calculated though the three tricuspid regurgitation were observed.Results Indexed right ventricular end diastolic volume (IEDVRv),end systolic volume(IESVRV),right ventricular stroke volume (ISVRV) and right ventrieular ejection fraction (RVEF) were greater in the ASD group than in controls (P < 0.05).IEDVRv and IESVRV had positive relation with pulmonary pressure measured by cardiac catheter and systolic pulmonary artery pressure calculated though the three tricuspid regurgitation.Conclusions Single cardiac cycle real-time three dimensional echocardiography has an obvious advantage than normal test in evaluating the change of the right ventricular function and shapes,furthermore,single cardiac cycle real-time three dimensional echocardiography can indirectly determined the pressure of the pulmonary without wound.
