Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(03):-
Objective:To explore the effects of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)? activators on tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF-?) expression in neonatal rat cardiac myocytes.Methods:Primary culture of cardiac myocytes was prepared from 1~3 days old Spraque-Dawley rats.Cardiac myocytes were pretreated with rosiglitazone at different concentrations and then stimulated with angiotensin Ⅱ(1 ?mol/L).ELISA and reverse transcripition-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to examine TNF-? in cultured supernatants and TNF-? mRNA in cardiac myocytes,respectively.Results:Pretreatment of cardiac myocytes with rosiglitazone inhibited the increase of TNF-? and TNF-? mRNA induced by angiotensinⅡ in a concentration-dependent manner.Conclusion:Rosiglitazone inhibits the expression of TNF-? in cardiac myocytes,which provides a new way for treating chronic heart failure.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of iptakalim hydrochloride(Ipt) on brain edema in rats after exposure to simulated high altitude and the mechanisms involved.Method Adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into normoxic control group,simulated plateau acute hypoxia group simulated 8 000 m for 8 h and three Ipt taking groups which were pretreated with 2, 4 and 8 mg(kg?d) of Ipt respectively for 7d before exposure to hypoxia.Water content was determined by the wet-dry method;Na~+,K~+,Ca~(2+) and Mg~(2+) content in the cortex was detected with all atomic absorption spectrophotometer;inorganic phosphorus standardization was applied to decide the activities of Na~+/K~+-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-ATPase and Mg~(2+)-ATPase;Occludin and AQP4 gene expression were determined by RT-PCR.Result The water content was increased and the concentration of Na~+ and Ca~(2+),the activities of Na~+/K~+-ATPase,Ca~(2+)-ATPase and Mg~(2+)-ATPase and the gene expression of the Occludin and AQP4 were all down-regulated in acute hypoxia group compared with normoxic control group.And these changes could be significantly relieved by pretreatment with Ipt.Conclusion Ipt can prevent the occurrence of brain edema caused by acute hypobaric hypoxia possibly related to the effect on water content,electrolytes concentration,ATPase activity and gene expressions of aquaporin and tight junction proteins.

Purpose:To study the mutual relationships between apoptosis,cell proliferation correlative gene PCNA and tumor suppressor gene P27 Kip1 as well as to investigate if they have something to do with the occurrence,development,and prognosis in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma.Methods:47 cases of primary esophagus squamous cell carcinoma were put into investigative group whose tumor samples from operation resection were studied. 20 cases with normal esophagus cell mucous membrane tissue were put into the control group. Expression level of PCNA,P27 Kip1 was detected by immunohistochemistry method (S-ABC) in both groups. Apoptotic index was detected by TdT mediated deoxyuridylic acid(dUMP)nicking end labeling (TUNEL method) in both groups.Results:①In the group of 47 cases of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma,there were 17 cases of positive expression in P27 Kip1 ,and the positive rate was 36.17% , average proliferation index(PI) was 45.86?19.11%,average apoptotic index is 1.05%?0.59%,ratio of PI/AI is 57.37? 45.17 ,all of which were statistically significant for difference between normal tissue and carcinoma in esophagus squamous cell (P

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a serious state threaten human health with a high mortality about 30%-40%. At present, there is no effective treatment for ARDS. Microvesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-MVs) have a heterogeneous subcellular structure secreted by MSCs. It plays an important role in the repair of tissue and organ damage.Recent studies have shown that MSC-MVs, played an important role in repairing lung injury, may replace MSC for cell therapy. Therefore MSC-MVs may bring new hope for ARDS treatment.

Objective To investigate depression disorders and its influencing factors among senile patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) in rural-urban fringe in order to supply reference for commu-nity nursing intervention for it. Methods This study was conducted among 323 residents above 60 years old in Gushan town, Fuzhou City. CES-D (center for epidemiology survey-depression scale) and ADL (ac-tivities of daily living scale) were used to evaluate the depression condition and related factors in these pa-tients and the results underwent analysis. Results 25.7% of people with diabetes had various degree of depression, among which 13.3% might had depression and 12.4% had depression definitely. Patients with loss of spouse, living along,reduction of self- care ability and low BMI showed higher incidence of depres-sion. Variables went into the unconditional multivariate logistic regression equation included marriage status and BMI. Conclusions T2DM patients with loss of spouse, living alone,reduction in self-care ability of daily living and low BMI are high risk population of depression. It was proposed that psychological nursing for the aged should be the important content of community nursing.

Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Morphine-midazolam, propofol and midazolam used for sedation in patients with mechanical ventilation. Methods Ninety-three patients with mechanically ventila-Morphine-midazolam group:priming dose 0.05 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg of morphine and midazolam,then continuous The index of ideal level of sedation was on the Ramsay scale. The sedation time, the time from discontinuation to ex-tubation, sedation costs, blood pressure were measured. Results The time in midazolam group (6.0±2.4) h was longer than that of propofol (4.6±1.7) h (P<0.01), but there was no significant relationship between morphine-midazolam group (5.6±2.7) h and midazolam group (4.6±1.7) h (P>0.05). The sedation costs in morphine-mi-dazolam group (101.7±20.4) yuan were lower than those of midazolam group (127.7±21.3) yuan (P<0.05) and propofol group(199.7±65.9) yuan (P<0.01). The ratio of hypotension in propofol group (35.4%, 11/31) hap-pened more frequent than that of midazolam group (3.2%, 1/31) (P<0.01) and morphine-midazolam group (9.7%, 3/31) (P<0.05). Conclusions Morphine-midazolam is a safe, effective and economic drug compared with midazolam and propofol used for sedation in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective The purpose of the present study is to illustrate the effect of olfactory ensheathing cells(OECs) on the survival and neurite outgrowth of GABAergic neurons in vitro. Methods OECs were dissociated from olfactory bulb and neurons from spinal cord of E12 mouse. On the sixth day in vitro,the Millipore cultue blank with OECs was transferred to the neuron culture mediam and continue the co-culture for another 6 days.The cultured neurons were stained with anti-GABA antibody.The neurite of neurons was observed with an image system.The number of GABAergic positive neurons was counted under the microscope. Result The number of GABAergic neurons was 39^7?6^3 in co-culture groups,whereas the number of GABAergic neurons represented only 27^6?2^7 in control groups(CG),(P
