AIM: To observe the pathological role of 3-nitrotynosine (3-NT) on Escherichia coli LPS-induced vascular hyporeactivity in rats and the therapeutic effect of antioxidants. METHODS: Forty male SD rats weighting from 200 g to 250 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (n=10); LPS shock group (n=10); uric acid-treated group (n=10); melatonin-treated group (n=10). 6 h after LPS shock, phenylephrine (0.5-2.5 ?g?kg -1) was applied intravenously to all groups and the percentage increase in MAP was detected, respectively. The concentration-response curve of aorta rings from all groups rats were obtained by cumulative addition of phenylephrine (PE), and PE E_ max, EC_ 50 were calculated. The concentrations of plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitrate/nitrite and 3-NT were assayed in all groups 6 h after LPS shock. RESULTS: The MAP level induced by PE significantly decreased to 54.60% in LPS shock rats compared with the control (P

Eddy current is one of the most important factors that influence image quality during the process of magnetic resonance imaging. This paper analyzes the reason that eddy current appears and introduces several methods to compensate it. A new method to adjust parameters of eddy current compensation is developed, which proves efficient to enhance image quality through XGY OPER-0.3 MRI system.

The concepts of Western medicine in treating tumor have changed markedly in recent years, and begun to put more emphasis on the whole survival status of patients. With recent emergence of targeted drugs, it was found that curative effects of the same targeted drugs in treating patients with the same tumor type even the same tumor pathological subtype but different therapeutic targets may be different. On the contrary, the curative effects of different targeted drugs in treating patients with different tumor types but the same therapeutic targets may be similar. Accordingly, the viewpoint of personalized therapy is advocated in Western medicine. Under the guidance of syndrome differentiation treatment in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), patients with the same tumor and different syndromes should be treated by different herbs, and patients with different tumor and the same syndrome should be treated by the same herbs. Both the theories of "the same treatment for the same syndrome" and "the same treatment for the same therapeutic target" indicate that personalized therapy in Western medicine is similar to TCM syndrome differentiation treatment. The article focuses on "different treatments for the same disease" as well as "the same treatment for different diseases" to describe the similar points between personalized therapy and TCM syndrome differentiation treatment and thereby proves that TCM syndrome differentiation treatment is a scientific and essential approach in treating tumor. At the same time, the article also points out the problems and solution methods of TCM syndrome differentiation treatment.

The liver X receptor(LXR) is one of the nuclear receptors related to metabolic syndrome.LXR plays an important role in the balance of cholesterol and lipid metabolism.LXR has been found to increase the utilization of glucose,decrease the insulin resistance,and simultaneously has an adverse effect in islet β cell.LXR influences fat cell differentiation and reduces expression of the obese gene then cause obesity.It also participates the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver and control the atherosclerosis.LXR is involved in inflammatory responses in macrophages and lymphocytes.The ability of LXR to integrate metabolic and inflammatory signaling makes it particularly attractive target for intervention in human metabolic diseases.In this review,we summarize the studies of LXR,clarify the LXR in the prospects for the treatment of metabolic syndrome.

Objective:To summary the experience of the treatment of the patient in perioperative period with TAPVC.Methods:24 children(Male/Female 16/8)with TAPVC corrective operation were collected from March 2007 to June 2009,which age from 10 d to 182m(16.78?37.30)m and weight from 2.8～36 kg(7.00?6.83)kg.The care and treatment were applied to all cases after surgery,which included mechanical ventilation and continually low-does inotropic agents.Results:Two cases died postoperatively of pneumorrhagia and infection complicated with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome,respectively.The period of mechanical ventilation was 3～393(72.83? 80.63)h.The complication included low cardiac output syndrome(3 cases),pnmonia(11 cases),respiratory dysfunction(13 cases), arrhythmia(5 cases)and pneumorrhagia(1 case).Six cases were re-intubated children.Conclusion:TAPVC,especially with obstrction of pulmonary venous,should be surgically correced as earlier as possible to prevent pulmonary pertention and fibrosis of pulmonary venous.Pneumonia and respiratory dysfunction are the most important reason for prolonged ventilation time and ICU stay after cardiac surgery.Therefore,optimal respiratory management and prevention of low cardiac output will be beneficial for intensive care after TAPVC corrective operation.

Objective To explore the causes of misdiagnosis through clinical data analysis of primary Sjogren syndrome ( PSS) patients misdiagnosed as primary hypothyroidism disease.Methods The clinical data of 34 cases with primary Sjogren syndrome ( pSS ) who were misdiagnosed as primary hypothyroidism were retrospectively analyzed.The misdiagnosis reason was analyzed.Results In 34 patients,a total of 14 patients with primary hypothy-roidism could not explain the clinical signs and symptoms, included dry mouth, dry eyes, recurrent parotid gland enlargement,both hands reynolds phenomenon, purpura like rash and joint pain in the lower extremities.A total of 20 patients with primary hypothyroidism could not be explained by an auxiliary examination abnormality, including ESR,IgG,IgM or IgA increased,white blood cells and platelets,low blood potassium,pulmonary CT suggest interstitial lung disease,ANA (+) (>1:40),RF(+)(>1:20).Conclusion pSS misdiagnosis for hypothyroidism is not uncommon.Department of Endocrinology physicians should pay special attention to hypothyroidism can not explain the symptoms and auxiliary examination abnormal, make the necessary differential diagnosis to reduce the misdiagnosis rate.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between rater-ratee similarities/differences in some individual characteristics and organizational citizenship behavior(OCB) appraisal. Methods: 103 vertical dyads were assessed by Personality Scale for Enterprise Managers and Chinese OCB Scale. Results: There existed significantly positive correlations between similarities in seven demographic indices and other-oriented OCB dimensions; differences in personality traits correlated significantly negatively with some dimensions of OCB appraisal; age difference had non-liner regression relationship with other-oriented OCB dimensions.Conclusion: Similarities/differences of individual characteristics related closely with OCB appraisal.

Objective:To study the biological functions of bone marrow macrophage (BMM ?) and to establish the methodology of separation, purification, cultivation and identification of BMM ?.Methods:Using the techniques of anchorage-dependent culture of separated rat bone marrow cell (rBMC) in DMEM culture media (contain 20% horse serum,20% (v/v)L 929 conditioned media) in vitro,a lot of purified anchor cells were obtained, and these cells were identified with specifically biological marker of macrophage, such as 1, morphologicalobservation:invert phase contrast microscopy, light and electron microscopy;2, enzyme cytochemistry:acid phosphatase (ACP),?-acetic acid naphthol esterase (?-ANE);3,phagocytic experiment:phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes and prepared Chinese ink;4,immunocytochemistry: surface specific antigen of macrophage ( CD 68 stain).Results:The cells were purified having functional satisfactory macrophage according to morphological observation,enzyme cytochemistry, phagocytic experiment and immunocytochemistry.Conclusion:This is a simple and easy method for separation, purification, cultivation and identification of rat marrow macrophage.

By mean of the isolated perfused working heart model, the changes of myocardial contractile and relaxation functions, ventricular cell action potentials, myocardial oxygen and glucose consumptions etc. were observed at 1st,3rd, 8th and 24th h after burn injury in the guinea-pigs inflictedly III degree burn injury on 35% TBA. The results indicate that. 1 ) The contractile and relaxation functions go through a time course of 'normal-decrease-recover', i.e. the cardiac functions show a normal level within 1 h after burn injury. Then they are depressed gradually,and to the lowest at 8th h or so, after burn injury. The cardiac functions recover partly at 24th h after burn injury. It suggests that there is a repaired mechanism by itself in heart of the burn animal; 2 ) The depression of myocardial contractile and relaxation functions are related with depression of the oxygen consumption rather than reduce of intaking in nutrients; 3) the influencing factors of burn injury on the coronary flow and electrical activity of myocardial cells could be removed easily by the perfusate. It shows that these effects may be result from the extracardiac neurohumoral factors.
