OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of the injection of puerarin combined with salvianoli acid B(Sal B)on rats with myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MIRI). METHODS:62 rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group,puerarin group(20 mg/kg)and puerarin(20 mg/kg)-Sal B group(mass ratio of 1:0.5,1:1,1:2,respectively),10 in each group. Except for sham operation group,rats in other groups were reduced for MIRI model. After 180 min of reperfusion, kinase(CK),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)in serum and percentage of myocardial infarction size of rats were detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in se-rum of rats in model group were obviously increased (P<0.01),SOD level was obviously decreased (P<0.01);and percentage of myocardial infarction size was obviously increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,CK,LDH,MDA levels in serum of rats in each administration group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),SOD levels were obviously increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and indexes changed the most obviously in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1);percentage of myocardial infarction size was obvi-ously decreased(P<0.01),and the percentage of myocardial infarction sizes in puerarin-Sal B group(1:1)and group(1:2)were less than Puerarin injection group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with Puerarin injection alone,puerarin combined with Sal B by injection can more effectively inhibit the cardiomyocyte injury and decrease myocardial infarction size after MIRI,with best efficacy when quality ratio is 1:1.

Patients with ischemic stroke is often accompanied by inflammtory response. Studies have suggested that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has induced the occurrence,development and of ischemic stroke and secondary brain injury. This article reviews the toil-like receptor 4 signal transduction pathway and its roles in ischemic stroke in order to provide certain basis for the development of TLR4-targeted medication.

Objective To explore the expression levels of RAS-interacting protein 1 (RASIP1) mRNA and protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and its cell lines,and to analyze the relationship between RASIP1 and tumorigenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in 29 hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and the corresponding adjacent non-cancer liver tissues (ANLTs),as well as those in the HCC cell lines such as LO2,HEPG2,MHCC97-H and HCCLM3 were detected using real-time PCR and western blot.Results The RASIP1 expression levels decreased significantly in HCC tissues when compared with the corresponding ANLTs; The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in LO2 were significantly higher than those in other HCC cell lines (P < 0.05) ; The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in MHCC97-H and HCCLM3 were significantly lower than those in HepG2 (P < 0.05).Conclusions HCC tissues had lower expression than those in ANLTs.On analyzing the RASIP1 levels of HCC tissues and its cell lines,we speculated that RASIP1 might suppress recurrence and metastasis of HCC.

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty (PKP) on bone density and serum leptin in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Methods One hundred and two patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures and 100 cases of healthy control were treated with PKP surgery. The serum leptin and adiponectin, and the bone mineral density of the lumbar spine were determined. Results patients Levels of the serum leptin and adiponectin in patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fracture were significantly higher than those with non osteoporotic fracture patients (P < 0.05). One month post-PVP, the levels of serum leptin and adiponectin in the two groups were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). postoperative group of The lumbar bone density at 1 month post-operation was is significantly higher than that before operation in each group (P < 0.05, respectively), with no significant difference between the two groups. The levels of serum leptin and adiponectin were negatively correlated with the bone mineral density (BMD) (P < 0.05). Conclusions tLevels of serum adiponectin and leptin were both increased in osteoporotic or non bone osteoporosis thoracolumbar vertebral compressor fractures. The percutaneous vertebroplasty forming operation could effectively reduce the serum level of leptin and adiponectin, and improve the bone mineral density of the lumbar vertebrae.

Objective To investigate the value of application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis and treatment of leptomeningeal metastases from malignant solid tumors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted depend on the radiological data of 63 patients who had been diagnosed as leptomeningcal metastasis of malignant solid tumors.Results All patients received brain MRI examination.26 patients underwent cervical or lumbar spine MRI examination.The MRI images showed nodular enhancement in the gyri and sulci,leptomeningeal linear enhancement,dura mater thickening and enhancement,ependymal enhancement,intraventricular metastasis,intraspinal metastatic nodules,communicating hydrocephalus,subdural hydroma and negative imaging.Ncuroimages of ependymal enhancenent,intraventricular metastasis and intraspinal implantation metastasis appeared in 5,7 and 9 patients with small cell carcinoma,respectively,which were higher than that of the other pathological types (P =0.002,P =0.009,P < 0.000 1).Seizure occurred in 7 patients after intrathecal chemotherapy,of which 5 patients had pia mater linear enhancement.Among 33 patients treated with radiotherapy combined with intrathecal chemotherapy,3 patients had poor prognosis,of which 2 patients had negative imaging findings.The conditions of 25 patients were improved obviously after treatment,of which 21 patients showed different imaging remission in MRI re-examination.Conclusions The contrast MRI has an important assistant effect in diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastasis of malignant solid tumors.The MRI findings and clinical features are related with the pathological types.The pia mater linear enhancement indicates a high possibility of seizures after inthathecal chemotherapy,and it suggests that the preventive treatment should be given for such patients.MRI is not applicable to evaluate severity,prognosis and curative effect of the disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of eritoran on the expressions of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-[ (IFN-β) mRNA in the basilar artery after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in rabbits.Methods Atotal of 36 healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly allocated into three groups:SAH (n =12),normal saline (n =12) and eritoran (n =12) groups.A SAH model was induced by injection of autologous arterial blood into cisterna magnatwice.An equal amount of cerebrospinal fluid was displaced with the saline in the normal saline group.An equal amount of autologous non-heparinized arterial blood was injected immediate after the replacementof cerebrospinal fluid in the SAH group.Eritoran 1.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously immediately after the blood injection via the cisterna magna each time in the eritoran group.The food intake and neurological deficit were assessed.The expressions of IL-1β,TNF-α and IFN-β mRNA in the basilar artery were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results The food intake scores (1.20 ± 0.41 vs.2.20 ±0.61; t =53.073,P =0.002),the neurological deficit scores (1.46 ± 0.32 vs.2.6 ± 0.08; t =306.431,P =0.001),the expressions of IL-1β (1.22 ±0.48 vs.2.38 ±0.06,P =0.000),TNF-α (1.39 ±0.07 vs.3.32 ±0.21,P =0.000) and IFN-β (1.51 ±0.08 vs.2.18 ±0.05,P =0.000) in Eritoran group were all significantly lower than those in the SAH group.Conclusions Eritoran may downregnlate the expressions of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β,TNF-α and IFN-β mRNA in the basilar artery after SAH in rabbits,increasing food intake,and improving neurological deficits.
