4.Neuroprotective Effects of Amiloride
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(6):460-463
Amiloride is an epithelial Na+ channel(EnaC)blocker.As a potassium-sparing diuretic,it has been used in clinical practice for decades of years.Studies have shown that many ion channels were semitive to amiloride in the central nervous system,such as acid-sensitive ion channel(ASIC)and Na+/H+ exchanger.These channels have important physiological functions,and paticipate in pathological processes such as cerebral ischemia and tissue acidosis.It has demonstrated that amailoride reduces the effects of ischemia-and acid-mediated neuronal injury by blocking these channels,which may become a novel neuroprotective agent for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.
5.The Erythrocyte Complement Receptor 1 Activity and CR1 Genomic Polymorphism in the Patients with Cerebral Infarction
Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(2):165-167
The erythrocyte complement receptor 1 (ECR1) activity and CR1 quantitative genotype distribution were studied and the mechanisms of decreased ECR1 activity in cerebral infarction revealed. By using red blood cell yeast rosette test ECR1 activities were measured and by using PCR-RFLP CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism detected in the patients with cerebral infarction and healthy controls. The results showed that the level of C3bRR was decreased and the level of CICRR increased in the patients with cerebral infarction as compared with healthy controls (both P<0.05). CR1 quantitative genotype distribution in the patients with cerebral infarction was differed significantly from that of healthy controls (P<0.05). It was concluded that the decrease of ECR1 activity in the patients with cerebral infarction was correlated with CR1 Hind Ⅲ genomic polymorphism.

Objective To explore the application efficacy of scalp nerve block combined with sevoflurane in craniotomy.Methods Fifty-five patients undergoing craniotomy in pingdingshan second people's hospital of henan province from Mar 2013 to Mar 2015 were randomly divided into observation group (n =28) and control group (n =27).The scalp nerve block combined with sevoflurane was performed in observation group and the sevoflurane intravenous inhalational combined with sufentanil was performed in control group.The changes of MAP and HR were observed before induction,5min after induction,skin incision,break the meninges,operation end and 5rmin after catheter removal.The agitation scale after operation,anesthesia duration,awaking time and dosage of sufentanil were compared.Restults MAP and HR at skin incision,break the meninges,operation end and 5min after catheter removal in control group were significantly increased than those before operation,and significantly higher than those in observation group at same stage of operation,with statistically significance differences (P <0.05).The agitation scale of observation group was lower than that of control group,with statistically significance difference (P <0.05).There was no significance difference between two groups in anesthesia duration (P>0.05),the awaking time in observation group was significantly shorter than that in control group and the dosage of sufentanil was significantly reduced in observation group (P<0.05).Corclusion Scalp nerve block combined with sevoflurane used in craniotomy has advantages in stable vital signs,rapid awaking,less dosage of sufentanil and lower score of agitation,which is suitable for clinical application.
8.Effect of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis in elderly people: a systematic review
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2017;11(1):34-39
Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with a risk of adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor quality of life and increasing risk of infection and mortality. Inadequate intake of nutrients (especially protein) might block muscle protein synthesis, and accelerate age-related sarcopenia progress. Age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass as well as muscle functions has been regarded as major health issues in elderly people. The domestic and foreign literature related to impact of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis and muscle functions in elderly people were retrieved to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis and muscle functions in elderly people.
