Dauricine ( Dau ) was studied on the pharmacokinetics in experimental acute renal failure (ARF ) induced by HgCl2 or acute liver injury ( ALI ) induced by CC14 in rabbits.After iv administration of 5 mg/kg in normal rabbits the main pharmacokinetic parameters of Dau were as follows:t1/2=0.18?0.12 (h), t1/2?=3.18?0.95 ( h ) , Vd = 26.7l? 3.61 ( L/kg ) and Cl = 6.91 ? 1.74 ( L/h?kg-1 ). The pharmacokinetic parameters of Dau in ARF were not significantly different from that in normal. Cl (3.31?1.88 L/h?kg-1 ) in ALI was significantly lower than that in normal and t1/2? ( 8.85?4.57 h ) in ALI was considerably longer than that in normal.The results indicated that the pharmacokiaetics of Dau had no change in rabbits with ARF and its elimination was prolonged in rabbits with ALI.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic experience in children with ulcerative colitis(UC) from clinical data.Met-hods The literature on UC in children publicated from 1995 to 2004 were retrieved by CBM,CNKI and VIP database.The clinical manifestations,X-ray,endoscopic and histologic features,management and prognosis of 172 patients in this hospital correspond with the inclusion criteria were retrospectively investigated and a definite diagnosis with UC was made.Results Of 172 patients,the ratio of maleold female was 1.07:1.0,and the age of patients ranged from 2 months to 15 years old.Thirty-six patients(36.7%)were less than 3 years-old;the course ranged from 3 days to 4 years.One patient had family history.The main manifestations were chronic diarrhea,mucus bloody stool,bloody purulent stool and abdominal pain.The systemic symptoms were fever,weight loss,malnutrition and anemia,no enteral symptoms and complications.The lesions were mainly seen in the whole colon with moderate to severe degree.The therapies based on salicylaxosulfapyridine(SASP) or 5-acetylsalicylic acid(5-ASA) together with corticosteroid in the short period have clinical remission in different levels.From long follow-up,the complete remittence was less than one third.Conclusions It is not rare to see UC in infantile.The clinical characteristics of UC in children are different from those in adults,the same is true before and after 3 year-old.The UC in children has high misdiagnosis and is difficult to manage.It is very necessary to establish a diagnostic and therapeutic guideline for children with UC in China.

Objctive To search for the therapeutic method of children's nephrotic syndrome.Methods Sixty-six cases oe children's nephrotic syndrome were randomly divided into 2 groups,impulsion group (34 cases) and control group (32 cases). Dexamethasone (1．5~3 )/mg (kg?d) added into (100~150)ml 10%GS solution, intravenous drip in impulsion group, one time a day, totat 3 days, the fourth day stoped. The fifth day started again and used one time evcry two days, total 6 times. Prednisone(1．5~3)mg/(kg?d) were taken next day and total 4 weeks, then grandually decreased the dose. Only prodnisone was used in control group, the method and dose were the same as impulsion group.Results Complete remission. partial remission inefficacy ere 23, 7 and 4 cases respectiye1y in impulsion group and 22, 5 and 5 cases respectively in control group, the effective rates of the 2 group are 88．23%and 84．38% (P＞0．05). The times of state of illness stabilization are respectively 11．3?7．2 and 10．48?6．34 months in the 2 groups. The side effect of impulsion group is bigger than that of control group.Conclusion Children's primary nephrotic syndrome should be treated for 8 weeks by routine hormone induction therapy, if no remission, impulsion therapy could be used.

OBJECTIVETo study mRNA and protein expression of HOXA5 gene in breast carcinoma, to correlate the expression of HOXA5 gene with clinicopathologic parameters and to explore the possible role of HOXA5 gene in carcinogenesis, progression and metastasis of breast carcinoma.

METHODSTaqMan real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied on 60 cases of primary breast carcinoma and 24 cases of benign mammary lesions in order to detect mRNA expression of HOXA5 gene. Immunohistochemical study using polyclonal antibody against HOXA5 was also performed. Statistical analysis was carried out to analyze the correlation between HOXA5 gene expression and various clinical parameters in these breast cancer patients.

RESULTS(1) The relative expression level of HOXA5 mRNA ranged from 0.73 to 193.07 (average = 20.85) in primary breast carcinoma, in contrast to 5.42 to 81.91 (average = 30.94) in benign mammary lesions. Compared with benign mammary lesions, a significant reduction in expression of HOXA5 mRNA was noted in primary breast carcinoma (P < 0.01). (2) There was a decreased or completely diminished HOXA5 protein expression in breast carcinoma. (3) HOXA5 mRNA expression was significantly lower in lymph node-positive cases, when compared with that in lymph node-negative cases (P < 0.05). A significant difference of HOXA5 protein expression was also observed in both groups (P < 0.01). Immunohistochemical staining of HOXA5 was either negative or weakly positive in lymph node-positive cases. On the other hand, moderately or strongly positive HOXA5 staining was noted in lymph node-negative cases. (4) Neither mRNA nor protein expression of HOXA5 gene correlated with clinicopathologic parameters such as age of patients, size of tumor, clinical stage, pathologic subtype or histologic grade (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSDisordered expression of HOXA5 gene may play a role in the carcinogenesis of breast cancer. Reduced expression of HOXA5 gene may be related to the metastatic potential of breast carcinoma cells.

Objective:To investigate the effects of kaempferol on the oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)-induced injury in human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVECs) and to explore its underlying molecular mechanism.Methods: HUVECs were randomly divided into 6 groups:control group,ox-LDL group,Kaempferol+ox-LDL group,Kaempferol+ox-LDL+Compound C group, Kaempferol+ox-LDL+si-Nrf2 group and Kaempferol+ox-LDL+si-HO-1 group.The cell activity was measured by MTT assay.The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein expression were measured by Western blot.The ROS levels were evaluated by flow cytometry.Results: Compared with control group,ox-LDL treatment decreased the cell viability,increased the cell apoptosis,up-regulated the protein levels of cleaved-caspase 3 and down-regulated the Bcl-2 level,elevated the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM1),intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM1) and selectin E (E-selectin),promoted the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and reduced the superoxide dismutase(SOD) levels,and decreased the protein levels of p-AMPK,Nrf2 and HO-1.Compared with the ox-LDL group,kaempferol treatment reversed the ox-LDL-induced cell activity inhibition, apoptosis and oxidative stress damage,and increased the protein levels of p-AMPK,Nrf2 and HO-1.Compound C,si-Nrf2 and si-HO-1 inhibited AMPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway,elevated the production of ROS and thus inhibiting the protective effects of kaempferol on ox-LDL-treated HUVECs.Conclusion:Kaempferol alleviates ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury,which may be related with the activation of AMPK/Nrf2/ HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the renal pelvic pressure(RPP) during minimally invasivepereutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL),and inspect its influence to postoperative fever. MethodsThe RPP was measured by baroeeptor,and these data about pressure and postoperative fever wereevaluated statistically. Results The mean RPP was 14.72 mm Hg,the mean accumulative time of RPP≥30 mm Hg was 116.06 s. Fifteen cases(18. 75%)had a postoperative fever. Logistical analysissuggested that postoperative fever did not correlate to sex(P=0.195),age(P=0.641),urinary tractinfection (P=0.663),white blood cell≥10 × 109/L in blood routine examination postoperatively (P=0.751),once an occurrence of RPP≥40 mm Hg(P=0.662),while infection calculi (P=0.000),percutaneous tract size(P=0.029),mean RPP(P=0.036) ,mean RPP≥20 mm Hg(P=0.013),accumulative time of RPP≥30 mm Hg(P=0.010) and RPP≥30 mm Hg longer than 50 s(P=0.024)contributed to postoperative fever. Conclusions Renal pelvic pressure generally remains lower than alevel to back flow (30 mm Hg) during MPCNL. A transient renal pelvic pressure≥30 mm Hg don'tcountribute to postoperative fever,while a temporary high pressure status(50 s)would had an accumulated effect which means an enough back flow to bring a fever.

The type of basic media and the contents of plant growth substances were investigated by orthogonal design experiment,and also the effects of different culture conditions on the growth of suspension cells and the accumulation of total flavonoids in Eucommia ulmoides were studied.The results showed that B5 medium supplemented with 0.5mg/L NAA,0.6mg/L 6-BA and 30g/L sucrose,at initial pH 5.0～5.5,20g(FW)/L inoculation quantity and 110 r/min of rotation speed was a preferable culture conditions for E.ulmoides suspension cells growth and flavonoids synthesis.The results of metabolic kinetics analysis for E.ulmoides cell suspension culture showed that the logistic and Luedeking-Piret equations can be used for describing the kinetics of cell growth,sucrose consumption and flavonoids production during the process.The maximum specific growth rate(?m),the actual growth yield based on sucrose(YG) and maintenance coefficient(m) were 0.417/d,0.619g/g and 0.0206g/(g?d-1) respectively.All these outcomes could give a basis for establishing the suspension cell culture of E.ulmoides and production of the natural active components in large-scale.

Objective To make comparisons of the three models of acute and chronic rheumatic carditis to find out an optimal animal model.Methods AntigenⅠwas a emulsifier mixed by complete freund’ s adjuvant( CFA) and Group A streptococcus(GAS).AntigenⅡwas mixed by incomplete freund’s adjuvant(IFA) and GAS.Female Lewis rats were randomly divided into four groups: A, B, C treatmeat groups were immuned with antigenⅠat the foot pad firstly. Subsequently, rats in group A、B、C were injected antigenⅠ, antigenⅡand activated GAS respectively to make the models of RHD.Rats in control group D were immunized with the same protocol outlined as treatment groups but without GAS. Respectively 7, 12, 24 weeks the rats were sacrificed 24 ( each group was 6).The blood biochemical item and Hematoxylin-eosin( HE) staining of hearts were detected.Results In group C the mortality was 25%.In group A, the incidence of carditis was the highest.Histopathological manifestations of group A, C was not only revealed acute damage such as inflammatory cell infiltrate as well as group B, but also the Aschofflike cells in the myocardial cells interstitial.But in group A and C there had a great degree of the inflammatory cells infiltration than group B.At 24th week rats in group A detected the rate and degree of valve fibrosis in chronic damage were higher than group B and C.None of rats in group D presented carditis or valvulitis.Conclusion In group A, giving the GAS with continuous stimulation after using the mixed emulsification of CFA and GAS to immune Lewis rats for five times was a appropriate method which could provide an optimal animal model for experimental study of acute and chronic rheumatic heart disease.
