Objective To evaluate the effect of albendazole immunoliposome (IL-Alb) against Echinococcus granulosus. Methods Mice infected with protoscolices of E.granulosus were divided into five groups. Four groups were treated with albendazole (Alb), albendazole liposome (L-Alb), albendazole sulfoxide liposome (L-Albso), and IL-Alb respectively at a dosage of 100 mg (Alb)/(kg?d)?5 d for 3 courses. The fifth group was established as control. The major criteria for evaluating the effects included a reduction rate of E.granulosus tissue wet weight, histopathological examination of the cysts by both light microscopy and electron-microscopy, and the content of albendazole-sulfoxide in cysts detected by HPLC. Results The efficacy of albendazole immunoliposome was significantly higher than that of albendazole liposome, and much higher than that of albendazole. The reduction rates of cyst tissue weight of IL-Alb group, L-Alb group and Alb group were 91\^5%, 80\^3%, 61\^2% respectively as compared to control group; the concentration of Albso in cyst tissue of the above groups were 5\^15 ?g/g, 2\^18 ?g/g, 0\^76 ?g/g respectively (P

Objective To study the change of estrogen in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods A total of 144 patients with CHD including 36 patients with normal pulmonary arterial pressure as control group, and 108 with PAH were investigated as PAH group. Their pulmonary artery pressure was measured by right heart catheterization and the serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) were detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results The serum concentrations of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and FSH in PAH group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that the concentrations of estradiol, progesterone and prolactin were not correlated with the site of shunt but significantly correlated with physiologic factor including sex, age and menstrual cycle, and the level of mean pulmonary arterial pressure. The correlation coefficient of mean pulmonary arterial pressure to them was 0.607,0.531 and 0.518 respectively. The concentration of FSH was positively correlated with the prolactin and estradiol with a related coefficient of 0.917 (P=0.012) and 0.759 (P= 0.000). Conclusion The estrogen plays an important role in modification of the pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with CHD and PAH.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and muscle strength, physical performance in the elderly. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hangu district of Tianjin from April to June in 2013. Totally 1 131 subjects aged 60 years or older completed the survey. Every subject filled out a standard questionnaire and underwent grip strength test, timed up and go test (TUGT). Serum CRP concentrations were determined using chemiluminescent immunoassay kits. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship between CRP and muscle strength, physical performance. Results After adjustment for potential confounding factors including age, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, anemia, cancer and physical activity, the multiple linear regression analysis suggested that CRP levels were inversely related to handgrip strength (β'=-0.11, P<0.01), and the logistic regression analysis showed that compared with subjects in the lowest quintile, the odds ratios and 95%confidence interval of higher quintile of CRP were 1.09 (0.50, 2.39) and 2.70 (1.34, 5.66) (Ptrend<0.05) in males. However, the relationship between CRP and muscle strength, physical performance was not statistically significant in females. Conclusions In males, higher serum CRP levels were independently correlated with lower muscle strength and poor physical performance in older adults. These results suggested that inflammation-signaling pathways may play an important role in the progression of sarcopenia.
