Objective To evaluate clinical therapeutic efficacy and safety of joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction, admitted to Wuxi People's Hospital Attached to Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to July 2015, were randomly divided into observation group(n=30) and control group(n=30).They were both treated by identical basis therapy, such as antiplatelet, dilute blood viscosity, neurotrophy therapy and symptomatic treatment.The patients in the observation group were treated by joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine on the identical basis therapy.On the pretherapy and post-treatment day, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Barthel Index(BI), neuron specific enolase(NSE), hemodynamic indexes and efficiency of clinical treatment in these patients were performed.Blood routine examinations, hepatorenal function and ECG were monitored.CT SCan was employed for ICH and drug relative hemorrhage and adverse drug reaction( ADR) were recorded in detail.Results After treatment, 2 groups of NIHSS, BI score, blood rheology index, NSE level compared with before treatment improved significantly, the difference was significant (P<0.05).NSE, hemorheology and total effective rate of the observation group were better than the control group(P<0.05).The clinical total effective rate was 93.3% in treatment group and 76.6% in control group (P<0.05).During therapy period, There was no adverse reaction in 2 groups.Conclusion Joint application of Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside Sodium and the Vinpocetine is safe and effective in treating patients with acute cerebral infarction, through improving the clinical neurological deficits, blood rheology indicators and activity of daily living.

Objective To investigate the possible inhibition effect of a domestic novel drug-eluting balloon(DEB), such as controlling the vascular stenosis and reducing the intimal hyperplasia, on obstructive peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of lower extremity. Methods Male New Zealand rabbits (weighted 2.5-3.0 kg) were used for this study. Mustang bare metal stents (BMS) were separately implanted at both the proximal and distal site of abdominal aorta to establish the PAD models in rabbits. Bare balloon (PTA group) or drug-eluting balloon (DEB group) was separately used to dilate the stent segment of the aorta. The animals were sacrificed 28 days after the treatment. The aorta stent specimens were collected and sent for pathologic examination. Using Masson staining method the degree of intimal hyperplasia was estimated and the expression level of paclitaxel-targeted β-tubulin was determined with immunohistochemical method. The results were compared between the two groups. Results Morphologically, both the degree of intimal hyperplasia and the vascular stenosis rate in DEB group were significantly lower than those in PTA group. Meanwhile, immunohistochemical examination of paclitaxel-targeted β-tubulin indicated that its expression level in DEB group was obviously higher than that in PTA group. Conclusion This experimental study indicates that the domestic novel DEB has potential inhibition effect in respect of controlling the loss of lumen as well as reducing the intimal hyperplasia. This novel DEB carries excellent property, suggesting the possibility to use DEB in clinical treatment of PAD.

Blood lipid level and its associations with insulin resistance were studied in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).Two hundred and twenty first degree relatives of type 2 diabetes mellitus were grouped into normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and IGT groups according to results of oral glucose tolerance test.Compared with the NGT group,the IGT patients had higher serum levels of total triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) but a lower serum level of high density lipoprotein-C (HDL-C).Homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and area under curve of insulin (AUCI) also increased.A positive relationship was found between TG and HOMA-IR (or AUCI),but a negative relationship existed between HDL-C and HOMA-IR.In conclusion,abnormal blood lipid metabolism is present in IGT patients and it has a close correlation with insulin resistance.

Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of statins on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) of pancreatic islet in rat and to explore its mechanisms. Methods According to the average volume, freshly isolated or 24-hour cultured pancreatic islets were randomly divided into control group( incubated with Kreb-Ringer bicarbonate buffer), the atorvastatin group( incubated with 100 μ mol/L atorvastatin), the fluvastatin group (incubated with 100 μ mol/L fluvastatin)and the pravastatin group (incubated with 100 μ mol/L pravastatin). Stimulated by 2. 8,5. 5,11.1,16. 7 mmol/L and 25.0 mmol/L glucose respectively, the effect of 100 μ mol/L statins on ATP content and GSIS was compared in the four groups. GSIS was performed by the 37℃ bath incubation method and ATP content was measured by chemiluminescence method. Results Incubated with 100 μ mol/L atorvastatin for 30 minutes, in the presence of 16. 7 mmol/L glucose, the ATP content [(9. 54 ± 1. 64) pmol/islet vs ( 12. 33 ± 1.89) pmol/islet] and GSIS (1.60 ± 0. 21 vs 2. 39 ± 0. 30) were significantly reduced in comparison with the control group (P＜0. 05). Cultured with 100 μmol/L fluvastatin for 24 hours, the ATP content [( 10. 24 ±2.01 )pmol/islet vs (12. 31 ±2. 16) pmol/islet] and GSIS (3. 12 ± 0. 32 vs 4. 17 ±0. 37 ) were all significantly decreased at the higher glucose concentration of 16. 7 mmol/L ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Atorvastatin and fluvastatin may inhibit GSIS by decreasing ATP content in pancreatic islet and the inhibitory effect is related to the strength of its lipophilicity.
