Objective To observe the effect of diliazem on cerebral oxygen metabolism during the period of blood pressure lowering in hypertensive urgencies.Methods 30 patients of hypertensive urgencies were randomized into two groups with 15 cases each.Group Ⅰ was administered with nitroglycerin.Group Ⅱ was administered with diliazem.Nitroglycerin was injected from 2.5?g/(kg?min).Group Ⅱ were received intravenous injection of diltiazem 5~10 mg,and then were continuously infusion by 5~15?g/kg/min with mictosyringe.Blood gas analysis was carried out by taking blood samples from right internal jugular vein bulb and radial artery,and D(a-jv)O2 and CEO2 were calculated before,during and after induced blood pressure lowering 0.5,1,2,3 hours.Results Compared with those in group Ⅰ,SjvO2 increased significantly in group Ⅱ(P0.05).Conclusion Diltiazem can decrease cerebral metabolism,improve oxygenation and play a role in cerebral protection in hypertensive urgencies.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in neonatal hy-poxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods Thirty-six neonates with HIE were collected and scanned by GE 3.0 T supercon-ducting MR scanner. Routine axial T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR scan and axial SWI scan were conducted. SWI sequence was compared with conventional head MRI sequences in detection rate of distribution and quantity of intracranial hemorrhage. Meanwhile, the display condition of the dilated cerebral deep veins and cortical veins was observed on SWI image and the performance of HIE in different clinical classification on SWI was compared. Results A total of 97 intracranial hemorrhages were detected by SWI in 27 cases. Only 41, 27 and 51 hemorrhages were found by TIWI, T2WI and FLAIR sequences, respectively. SWI were significantly superior to T1WI, T2WI and FLAIR in displaying the size, scope and boundary definition of hemorrhage. A total of 50 dilated ce-rebral deep veins and cortical veins were detected by SWI in 22 cases which were not found by conventional head sequences. The detection rates of intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage in addition of dilated cerebral veins on SWI sequence were the lowest in mild HIE group, and highest in severe group. There was significant difference among the mild, medium and severe groups (P<0.05). Conclusions SWI sequence has higher sensitivity than conventional MRI sequence in detecting intracranial hemorrhage and dilated vein in HIE, and is useful for early diagnosis of HIE.

Objective To explore the behavioral patterns of middle school students and provide basis for unintentional injury prevention in these students.Methods 171 injury students and 171 normal students as controls were evaluated by Youth Self-Report(YSR),and mean scores were compared between the two groups by t Test.Logistic regressions were performed to analyze the relationship between injury students and behavioral problems.Results The rate was higher in injury group(15.79%) than in control group(8.19%).The score of injury group of boys was higher than thar of control group(t=2.942,P=0.004);the score of injury group of girls was higher than thar in control group(t=3.766,P=0.000).Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that attention-deficit(OR=5.376),the problem of thinking(OR=3.672),social problems(OR=2.204) and friendly fellows' action was a risk factor.Conclusions There is a significant effect of the behavior of students and fellow students on the injury to students.

AIM:ToinvestigatetheprotectiveeffectofquercetinonangiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)-inducedcardio-myocyte hypertrophy and its possible mechanism .METHODS: Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced by AngⅡ ( 100 nmol/L) in primary neonatal cardiomyocytes and H 9c2 cells.The cells were treated with different concentration of querce-tin (10 μmol/L, 20 μmol/L and 40 μmol/L) for 48 h and then the cardiomyocyte surface areas were measured by immu-nofluorescence .Proteasome activity was detected by fluorescent peptide substrate .The phosphorylated levels of GSK-3α/βand Akt in H9c2 cells were determined by Western blot .RESULTS:Compared with control group , the cardiomyocyte sur-face areas were both increased in primary cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes and H 9c2 cells, while the surface areas were significantly decreased by quercetin , especially at concentration of 20 μmol/L compared with Ang Ⅱgroup (P<0.05). Compared with control group , the chymotrypsin-like, trypsin-like and caspase-like activities of proteasome were all in-creased in H9c2 cells (P<0.05).The trypsin-like and caspase-like activities of proteasome were inhibited by 20 μmol/L and 40 μmol/L quercetin , while chymotrypsin-like activity was inhibited only at 20 μmol/L of quercetin compared with AngⅡgroup (P<0.05).In addition, phosphorylated levels of GSK-3α-Ser21, GSK-3β-Ser9 and Akt-Ser473 in AngⅡgroup were all increased compared with control group , which were obviously inhibited by in 20 μmol/L and 40 μmol/L quercetin ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION: Quercetin decreases cardiomyocyte hypertrophy through proteasome inhibition , which may be related to the inhibition of Akt and therefore increasing activation of GSK -3α/βin H9c2 cells.

This study is to investigate the amelioration effect of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) antagonist mifepristone on the changes of learning and memory abilities in rat model of depression. In the present study, a 35-day rat chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) model was used to observe both depression-like behaviors with sucrose preference test and open-field test and learning and memory-associated behaviors with Morris water maze test. A total of 45 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups of equal size: control group (CON); CUS group (CUS); CUS + mifepristone group (CM). Animals in CM group were first exposed to CUS for 14 days, and then were administered with 50 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) of mifepristone with continued CUS procedure. Corticosterone EIA Kit was used to detect the concentration of plasma corticosterone (CORT). Nissl staining was used to observe the structure of hippocampus. The results demonstrated that CUS exposure induced both depressive-like and learning and memory-associated behaviors and these deficits were reversed by mifepristone. Compared to CON group, the concentration of plasma CORT increased significantly in CUS group. CUS exposure damaged the structure of hippocampus, whereas mifepristone had an amelioration effect. Together, the structural deficits of hippocampus resulting from long-term stress exposure, which could contribute to the impairment of learning and memory in depression, are reversed by the GR receptor antagonist mifepristone.

BACKGROUND:Microcapsules is one of the main directions of targeted therapeutic dosing system. With a size of several microns to several hundred microns, it can be used for injection, oral, arterial administration and local treatment of targeted organs and other treatment approaches. OBJECTIVE: To prepare rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules and optimize the preparation conditions. METHODS: The rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules was prepared by ultrasonic emulsification. The effect of the mass concentration (60, 100, 140, 180 g/L), stirring speed (50, 1 000, 2 000, 4 000 r/minutes), colostrum emulsification time (2, 4, 6, 8 minutes), colostrum water oil ratio (1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20) of rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules on gross morphology, particle size distribution width and total flavonoids encapsulation efficiency of microcapsules was univariately analyzed. The rhizoma drynariae total flavonoids/polylactic-co-glycolic acid microcapsules with smaler particle size, uniform dispersion and higher encapsulation efficiency was filtered out. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimum process parameters were as folows: 140 g/L polylactic acid-glycolic acid solution, the stirring speed of 2 000 r/min, the colostrum emulsification time of 6 minutes, and the colostrum water-oil ratio of 1:15. The microcapsules prepared in the optimized process displayed a uniform distribution and its average particle size was (789.8±712.3) nm, which distributed relative narrowly and basicaly less than 5 μm. Microcapsules presented round, with a regular edge under scanning electron microscope. The average encapsulation efficiency was 47.72%.

Abstract:Aim To study the effect of rotenone on α-synuclein in rat midbrain of Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods Rats were subcutaneouly injected with chronic low dose rotenone(1.0 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1)).Movements within 5 minutes were evaluated in open field test.Tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)-positive neuronsin the midbrain were measured with immunofluorescence staining.α-SYN protein level in the midbrain was demonstrated with immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.Results Compared to the control group,latency time,crossing,rearing and rearing time were changed significantly(P<0.05,0.01)in the rotenone group,TH-positive neurons were reduced(P<0.05)and α-SYN protein level in the midbrain was increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Injection with rotenone can induce PD symptom,which may be correlated to α-SYN protein level in the midbrain.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the occurrence of ADR induced by over-the-counter(OTC)drug in order to guide the rational use of drugs. METHODS:45 cases of ADR induced by OTC drug were analyzed retrospectively in terms of patient's gen-eral information,allergic history,allergenic drugs,reason for drug use,route of administration,incubation period,days of hospi-talization,clinical manifestation,treatment,outcome,etc. RESULTS:Among 45 patients,there were 14 male and 31 female. The patients were mainly 20-30 year-old(31.1%). Three patients had previous history of allergy(6.7%). Most ADR were induced by oral drugs(82.2%). Reasons for drug use were mainly disease of respiratory system(23 cases,51.1%). The results of causality as-sessment were positive in 3 patients(6.7%),probable in 35(n=77.8%),and possible in 7 patients(15.6%). ADR were mainly induced by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs,57.8%),Chinese patent medicine (20.0%),drugs for external use (17.8%). The clinical manifestations mainly included exanthematous drug eruption (33.3%),erythama multiforme drug eruption (24.4%),urticarial drug eruption(13.3%). CONCLUSIONS:NSAIDs are the main allergenic drugs,and ADR induced by OTC traditional Chinese medicine can not be ignored. To improve medical knowledge and skills of the public and the scientific use of OTC drug are beneficial to improve the clinical treatment level.
