OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of candesartan combined with Sulodexide soft capsules in the treatment of persistent proteinuria of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:180 patients with persistent proteinuria of diabetic ne-phropathy were randomly divided into control group and trial group,with 90 cases in each group. Control group was given can-desartan,8 mg/time,once a day;trial group was additionally given Sulodexide soft capsules on the basis of control group,250 LSU/time,twice a day. The indexes levels of both groups were compared before and after treatment,including systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),urinary albumin excre-tion rate (UAER),24 hour urinary albumin (24hU-Alb) and urinary 2-microglobulin (β2-MG),α1 microglobulin (α1-MG), urine N-acetyl-β-D glucoside enzyme(NAG)and serum cystatin C(Cys-C). RESULTS:After treatment,there was no statisti-cal significance in the levels of SBP,DBP,Scr,BUN and UAER between 2 groups(P>0.05);24hU-Alb level of observation group was significantly betRter than that of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);after treatment,β2-MG,α1-MG,NAG and Cys-C of 2 groups were all improved significantly,and the trial group was more significant then the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Candesartan combined with Sulodexide soft capsules in the treatment of persistent proteinuria of diabetic nephropathy can effectively improve renal function and reduce urinary microalbu-min.

AIM To study pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease and screen ?- secretase and ?- secretase inhibiting drug, PS-1(M 146L)and APP 751 gene double stably transfected CHO cell lines have been established. METHODS A? cDNA encoding human PS-1 was obtained by polymerase chain reaction from a human placental library. Mutant PS-1 (M 146L) cDNA was also generated by polymerase chain reaction from wild type PS-1 cDNA. Wild type and mutant PS1 were subcloned into CMV-based mammalian expression vectors PCI-neo,then recombined plasmid were co-transfected into APP expressing CHO cells at 1∶10 ratio using LipofectAmine. Stable expressing cell lines were screened and selected by using selection media. RESULTS Several CHO cell lines stably transfected with wide type or mutant PS-1 (M 146L) as well as APP 751 genes were established. Overexpression of PS-1 in CHO cell accumulated full length 45 kDa PS-1 protein. A? released to conditioned media were not changed in wild type PS-1 transfected APP expression CHO cells. A? 1～42 level in conditioned media of M 146L mutant PS-1 stably transfected of APP expression CHO cells were elevated about 1.6 fold. CONCLUSION Expression of M 146L mutant PS-1 in stably transfected APP expression CHO cells increased a secretion of A? 1～42. The PS-1 and APP double stably transfected CHO cell lines we generated can be used for either ?-or ?-secretase inhibitor study and related drug screening.

BACKGROUND: Female hypertension has its own epidemicologic character and the chief interventions on it are various.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the risk factors of female hypertension and observe the effects on rehabilitative and preventive intervention in demonstrative community for comprehensive prevention and treatment of cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou.DESIGN: Group randomization was designed. The samples of certain percentage were randomized according to total population from each village of 13 administrative areas.SETTING: Guizhou Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Renmin Hospital of Yunyan District in Guiyang, Guizhou Clinical Examination Center.PARTICIPANTS: Since 1996, a series of comprehensive prevention and treatment had been carried in the communities for cardiac cerebral vascular disease in Guizhou, involved 13 administrative areas and 112 villagecitizen groups, in which, 26 604 people were employed, living in the regions between town and country. Social natural condition and life behavior of majority citizen reflected the common state of people in town and country. Totally 3 934 people aged over 15 years were investigated in the communities, and were all in the known of investigation. The samples without complete data were excluded.METHODS: ① Base-line investigation was carried on for the groups over 15 years old according to the requirement for administrative region designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from April 1st 2001 to May 15th . ② Health education and health promotion activity were carried on for the included groups. ③ Survey after intervention was given for females according to the survey items designed by Institute of Preventive Medicine of China Academy of Sciences from July 2002to June 2003. ④ Normal body-mass index (BMI) was 18.5-23.9 kg/m2,overweight was indicated if BMI was 24-27.9 kg/m2 and obesity was diagnosed if BMI ≥28 kg/m2. ⑤ Analysis was applied on comparison of BMI,waist to hip ratio (WHR), average blood pressure, the rates of incidence,awareness and treatment of hypertension and rate of high-salty and lipid diet. ⑥ t test was adopted for comparison of means between two samples and x2 test was used for rate comparison.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Comparison of the rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of hypertension for females of different ages in community base-line investigation in Guizhou. ② Comparison of BMI, WHR and BP of females of various ages in baseline investigation.③ Comparison of incident rate of hypertension for females with various BMI in baseline investigation. ④ Comparison of BMI, WHR, BP, smoke, alcohol, rate of high-salty and lipid diet, the rates of incidence, awareness,treatment and control of hypertension for females between baseline investigation and post-intervention survey.RESULTS: In baseline investigation, 6 361 correct and complete forms were collected, with 99.84% qualified rate, of which, there were 3 934females. 1 141 data were qualified after intervention. It was indicated in community baseline investigation: ① Rates of incidence, awareness and treatment of hypertension for females were improved with increased age (P ＜ 0.05), and the control rate was decreased with increased age (P ＜ 0.05). ② BMI, WHR, SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) and PP (pulse pressure) were improved significantly with in creased age (P ＜ 0.01). BMI for females was increased with ages, but was declined with age ≥60 years. ③ The incident rates of hypertension for groups of normal body mass, overweight and obesity were 15.05%, 23.87% and 39.37% successively, indicating that the hypertension inci dent rate was increased significantly with improved BMI (paired compari son, P ＜ 0.05). Comparison between post-intervention survey and base-line investigation: ① In the comparison, the results of BMI, WHR and BP means were reduced for most cases at same age and significant difference was displayed in majority (P ＜ 0.05). ② After intervention, smoke rate of females was increased significantly and rate of high-salty and lipid diet was decreased (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Incident rate after health intervention was decreased significantly compared with that before intervention (P ＜ 0.05),and the rates of awareness, treatment and control of hypertension were enhanced significantly (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: ① The rates of incidence, awareness, treatment and control of female hypertension are different in ages in community of Guizhou. ② The severity of risk factor of female hypertension is enhanced with increased age in community of Guizhou. ③ The increased body mass is the important factor of incident rate of hypertension. ④ Health education probably decreases the severity of risk factor of hypertension and increases the rates of awareness, treatment and control.
