Objective To investigate the inhibitory mechanism of rabeprazole on acid secretion of parietal cells in rats. Methods Seventy two Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into control group(normal saline), low dose of rabeprazole group (rabeprazole 10 mg/kg) and high dose of rabeprazole group (rabeprazole 20 mg/kg) with 24 each. Four rats in each group were treated at 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h, respectively, pH value and activity of H+-K+-ATPase were tested by NaOH titrimetric method and chromatometry, respectively. The changes of ultrastructure of parietal cells were observed by electron microscope. Results Compared with control group(1.97±0.30), pH value in low (3.37± 0.97)and high (5.96±0.26)dose groups were significantly increased(P<0.01), and the activity of H+-K+-ATPase was inhibited obviously at 1 h after administration(3.28±0. 41 vs 1.47±0.27 and 0.92±0.07, P<0.05). Those differences could be found even at 12 h(P<0.01). The ultrastructural changes of parietal cells were consistent with the increase of pH value and decreased activity of H+-K+-ATPase. The significant difference was found in acid depression and excellent time between low and high dose of rabeprazole groups. Conclnsions The uhrastructural changes of parietal cells and the activity of H+-K+-ATPase can accurately reflect the acid secretion in rats. Rabeprazole has powerful and rapid effects in inhibiting acid secretion which correlates with the dosage.

BACKGROUND:From the biological structure, the posterior cruciate ligament is surrounded by the synovial folds of posterior capsule, arising from the inner side of the medial femoral condyle to the posterior part of tibial intercondyloid spine. The main traditional treatment method for posterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture is open operation, but it is difficult in anatomic reduction, cannot ful y restore knee joint stability and has a great negative impact on the normal function of posterior cruciate ligament. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of arthroscopic implant internal fixation in the treatment of tibial avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament. METHODS:120 patients with tibial avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament were randomly assigned into treatment group and control group, with 60 cases in each group. The control group was given the traditional open surgery, and the treatment group was given the arthroscopic surgery. After 3 months, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores and Lysholm scores were detected in the two groups;the knee joint range of motion was determined before and 3 months after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Wounds were healed at stage I in al patients with no serious complications. There was no difference in the knee joint range of motion between the two groups before treatment, but the range of motion was increased significantly in both two groups at 3 months after treatment (P<0.05), meanwhile which was higher in the treatment group than the control group (P<0.05). At 3 months after treatment, the excel ent knee function rate was significantly higher in the treatment group (97%) than the control group (88%) according to the Lysholm scores;the IKDC scores were significantly higher in the treatment than the control group in terms of claudication, support, pain, swel ing, and squat (P<0.05). These results indicate that the arthroscopic implant fixation of tibial avulsion fracture of the posterior cruciate ligament has better short-term effects to promote recovery of knee joint function, but no serious complications.

Objective Hypertension is a leading modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease .However , a lot of hyper-tension patients hold inactive attitudes to hypertension treatment .The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between previous treatment of hypertension and stroke severity in acute ischemic stroke . Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 653 in-hospital ischemic stroke patients with hypertension between January 2011 and December 2014 .According to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission, the stroke patients were divided into a mild group (NIHSS≤3) and a severe group (NIHSS >3) and, based on their history of hypertension treatment , allocated to a regular treatment, an irregular treatment, a non-treatment , and an unawareness group .We studied the relationship of previous hypertension treatment with stroke severity by Spearman correlation analysis and identified the potential factors associated with stroke severity by multivariate logistic regression anal-ysis. Results Previous treatment of hypertension was positively correlated with stroke severity (r=0.146, P=0.000 2).Compared with the patients of the regular treatment group , those in the irregular treatment group (OR: 2.21; 95%CI:1.39 -3.52; P =0.001), non-treatment group ( OR: 2.18; 95%CI: 1.41 -3.36; P =0.0004) and unawareness group (OR:1.80;95%CI:1.12-2.88; P=0.015) tended to have more severe stroke. Conclusion Previous treatment of hypertension is closely related to the severity of ischemic stroke .
