The angiotensinogen(AGT) expression and angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ ) secretion levels in cultured SD rat mesangial cells were determined. High glucose up-regulated AGT mRNA(0. 29±0.07 vs 0. 20±0. 05,P< 0.05)and protein(0.66±0.23 vs 0.37±0. 15,P<0.05) expression and Ang Ⅱ secretion [(9.85±2.08 vs 7.50± 1. 51) pg/ml,P<0. 05]levels, which were down-regulated by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate( PDTC) treatment via inhibiting NF-κB activity.

75%(more than 2-vessel disease) and 50 persons with angia and non-diabetes were selected as control.Results The level of NT-proBNP was significantly higher in stable angina patients with diabetes(750?80 ng/L) than that in stable angina patients without diabetes(450?75 ng/L)(P

Objective To investigate the changes of blood lipid,endothelin(ET)and carbohydrate tolerance in simple obesity children.Methods Serum total cholesterol(TC),triglyeride(TG),low density lipoprotein(LDL),endothelin(ET) and oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) of 436 cases(light obesity group 242,moderate obesity group 138,heavy obesity group 56) were detected respectively.Results The levels of TC,TG,LDL,ET and OGTT in 3 simple obesity groups were all higher than those in control group obviously and there were significant differences.The significant positive correlation between the obesity children serum lipids,ET and obese degrees were observed.Four insulin resistant children were found in heavy obesity group and none in other groups.Conclusions The levels of serum lipids and ET increases in obesity children and the OGTT decreases in some heavy obesity children.For preventing the obesity related health problems,the simple obesity children should be paid more attention to earlier.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of the Barth syndrome (BTHS).MethodsClinical data were collected and analyzed from 3 patients with conifrmed genetic diagnosis of BTHS from June 2013 to October 2014.ResultsAll of the 3 patients were males and two of them were twins. The main clinical manifes-tations of the 3 patients were cardiomyopathy and heart failure, accompanied by different degrees of trabeculations of the left ventricle. Two of them were diagnosed of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). All of the 3 patients presented with motor retardation, muscle weakness, growth delay and signiifcantly increased urinary excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid (3-MGC). One patient was found to have neutropenia. All 3 patients hadTAZ gene mutations which included a novel missense mutation (c.527A>G, p.H176R) detected in the twins and a known nonsense mutation (c.367C>T, p.R123X) identiifed in the other patient. All of the mutations were inherited from their mothers. During the follow-up, the twins died at 7 months old and 7.5 months old respectively. The other patient was still alive.ConclusionBTHS is one of the causes of cardiomyopathy in children. In the male patients who presented with muscle weakness, neutropenia, and increased urinary excretion of 3-MGC, especially in those com-bined with LVNC, BTHS should be screened.

Sleep deprivation due to extended work hours and circadian disruptionhas long been a concern in medicine.Clinicians who have been deprived of sleepfailed to ensure that patients are safe or that the quality of care they receive is high.So it can not be ignored to solve the tense relationship between the clinicians and the patients in China.As a result,to pay attention to the fatigue among clinicians and the safety of patients in our country has its practical significance.Take an active strategy to properly resolve the problem of fatigue among clinicians to ensure medical security,the establishment of safe,high-quality health care system,not only directly related to the treatment of patients,but also to the harmonious relations between clinicians and patients to ensure the safety of health care are very important.

Objective: In this paper the pharmacodynamical mechanism of Heat Asthma Formula(HAF)(Herba Ephedrae, Rhizoma pinelliae, Flos Lonicerae, etc) in the treatment of bronchial asthma was discussed. Methods: By means of the radio labelled aglycone, applying phlogistic medium TXB2, ? receptor on bronchus and cyclic nucleotide (cAMP/cGMP) in lung tissue used as observed targets. Results: The results showed HAF could inhibit the release of phlogistic medium TXB2, improve the conjugate rate of ? receptor, adjust the proportion between cAMP and cGMP. Conclusion: The treatment on bronchial asthma of “Heat Asthma Formula” was perhaps concerned with above mentioned contents.

AIM To set up a method which can determining the blood concentration of omeprazole and its metabolite 5′ omeprazole, omerpazole sulphone in order to study its cinical pharmacokinetics. METHODS The blood concentration of omerpazole was determinated by HPLC. RESULTS Calibrated standard curve of omeprazole in blood is Y=-0 004 499+0 001 909X (r =0 9990), the recoveries of three concentrations 50, 500, 2 000 mg?L -1 are 90 36, 109 62, 108 91%, respectively; and the precisions are 9 86,7 86, 15 52% , respectively. Calibrated standard curve of its metabolite 5′ OH omeprazole in plasma is Y=-0 003 659+0 001 328X(r =0 9970), the recoveries of three concentrations 20, 200, 1 000 mg?L -1 are 79 42%, 96 49%, 95 04%, respectively; and the precisions are 8 95%, 4 52%, 9 73%, respectively. Calibrated standard curve of its another metabolite omeprazole sulphone in plasma is Y=0 009 248+0 001 765X (r =0 999 2), the recoveries of three concentrations 20, 200, 1 000 mg?L -1 are 94 44%, 105 59%, 104 26%, respectively; and the precisions are 8 72, 8 58, 9 60%, respectively. After 20 mg omeprazole were administered by a voluteer via oral, C max of 5′ OH omeprazole, omeprazole, and omerpazole sulphone were 14 622 7, 408 433 2, 454 363 7 mg?L -1 . CONCLUSION The method is good enough to study pharmacokinetics of omeprazole.

AIM: To compare genotype polymorphism of cytochrome CYP2C19 between Chinese Meng subjects and Chinese Han subjects. METHODS: The genotype polymorphism was analyzed by PCR RFLP (Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) in 74 subjects of healthy Chinese Han and 6 subjects of Chinese Meng. RESULTS: Of the 74 genotyped healthy subjects, 31 ( 41.9 %) were homozygous for wildtype (wt/wt), 9 ( 12.2 %) were homozygous for CYP2C19m1 and CYP2C19m2 (m1/m1 or m1/m2 or m2/m2), and 34 ( 45.9 %) were heterozygous for CYP2C19m1 or CYP2C19m2 (m1/wt or m2/wt). Among the 6 genotyped Chinese Meng, 1 ( 16.7 %) was homozygous for wildtype (wt/wt), 2 ( 33.3 %) were homozygous for mutant allele CYP2C19m1 and CYP2C19m2 (m1/m1 or m1/m2 or m2/m2), and 3( 50.0 %) were heterozygous for CYP2C19m1 or CYP2C19m2 (m1/wt or m2/wt); no homozygous genotype for CYP2C19m2(m2/m2)was found in this study. CONCLUSION: There is no statistical difference in occurrence of wt/wt and m1/m1 between in 74 subjects of healthy Chinese Han and 6 subjects of Chinese Meng.

Objective To study whether the organs besides digestive system of musca domestica Ⅲ instar larvae have the capability of produceing musca β-glucosidase.Methods Tissues of malpighian tubules,trachea,epiploon and body wall of musca domestica Ⅲ instar lar-vae were dissected under anatomic microscope,and the expression of β-glucosidase gene in these dissected tissues were detected by reverse transcription PCR.And the tissue localization of β-glucosidase mRNA was further identified by in situ hybridization.Moreover,anti-cellulase was used to determinate the tissue distribution with immunohistochemical staining.The relative mRNA expression levels of musca domesticaβ-glucosidase gene in these organs were tested by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The reverse transcription PCR showed that the ampli-fication products of β-glucosidase gene were observed in tissues of malpighian tubules,trachea and body wall.β-glucosidase mRNA was shown in the epithelium cells of malpighian tubules,trachea and body wall by in situ hybridization,and it was almost the same in the results of im-munohistochemical staining.The real-time quantitative PCR showed that the relative expression quantity of β-glucosidase gene in malpighian tubules and body wall were higher than that in foregut,while it was lower in itrachea than that in foregut.And it was of statistical difference in gene expression level of β-glucosidase among these organs (P <0.05).Conclusion Malpighian tubules,trachea and body wall of musca domestica Ⅲ instar larvae have the function of secreting β-glucosidase.Combining with the characteristics of secreting β-glucosidase in most organs of digestive system,it may provide a new biological method for the prevention and treatment of human diseases transmitted by musca domestica with the use of taget gene β-glucosidase.
