Hyperuricemia is a risk factor for various diseases, but knowledge on acute hyperuricemia is still not sufficient. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of acute hyperuricemia on red blood cells from hemorheological point of view, and to provide the reference for clinical treatment. The rats were gavaged with 500 mg/kg hypoxanthine and intraperitoneally injected with 100 mg/kg oxonate to induce the model of acute hyperuricemia. The same volume of blood samples were drawn within time period of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 6 h, respectively, from the inner canthus of rats to measure the serum uric acid, hemorheological parameters and the malondialdehyde level. It was found that in each period of 1, 2 and 3 h, the rats had significantly higher levels of uric acid. The integrated deformation index and relax index were increased. The hemolysis rate was significantly reduced. The plasma malondialdehyde level was obviously decreased at the end of 2 h. The results suggested that short-term elevated uric acid could improve the hemorheological parameters and the lipid oxidative level in red blood cells.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of lamivudine in the patients of hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN) treated by prednisolone with leflunomide. Methods 41 HBV-GN patients treated by prednisolone and leflunomide were enrolled in this study. According to the presence of the indications of antiviral treatment, the patients were divided into the prevention group and the treatment group received lamivudine treatment, and another 15 patients with chronic hepatitis B were treated with lamivudine as the control group. The biochemical, virological and serological responses during the process of the treatment and the serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 were determined. Results No significant differences of biochemical, virological and serological responses in the prevention and treatment groups compared with the control group at 48 weeks after treatment. Levels of the IFN-γ and IFN-γ / IL-4 decreased significantly in the prevention group and treatment groups compared with the control group (P < 0.05, respectively). No serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients. Conclusion The antiviral treatment of lamivudine lead to good curative effect and security in HBV-GN patients received hormones combined with leflunomide treatments, but leflunomide with prednisolone inhibited the production of IFN-γ and removal of hepatitis B virus.

BACKGROUND:There is less report about mitigating sustained bone grinding injuries during craniotomy based on a model of traumatic brain injury established using the modified Feeney's free-fall method. OBJECTIVE:To modify a modified traumatic brain injury model by altering the opening of the skull window. METHODS:Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were equally randomized into sham group,model group and modified model group.The modified procedure of opening the bone window was used in the modified model group.Six to eight small holes of 0.3-0.5 mm in diameter were punched at the edge of the impact area and the drill was immediately withdrawn without touching the cortex.In the modified model group,the skull window was opened by using the modified method,while the skull window in the model group was opened using the conventional method.The modified model group and model group were established using the Feeney's free-fall method.In the sham group,only the skull window was opened without impact.The modified neurological severity scoring was performed at 1 day after modeling.T2 weighted imaging was performed and T2 values were measured at 1 and 7 days after modeling.Hematoxylin-eosin staining of the brain section was made for histopathological observation at 7 days after modeling.The level of blood viscosity,interleukin-6,interleukin-1β,and tumor necrosis factor-α were determined at 7 days after modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham group,the modified neurological severity scores in the model group and modified model group were significantly increased at 1 day after modeling(P<0.000 1).Meanwhile,the modified neurological severity scores in the modified model group were lower than those in the model group(P<0.000 1).Compared with the sham group,the T2 values were significantly increased in the model group and modified model group at 1 and 7 days after modeling(P<0.05),while the T2 values in the modified model group were lower than those in the model group(P<0.05).Compared with the sham group,the level of blood viscosity,interleukin-6,interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were increased in the model group and modified model group at 7 days after modeling(P<0.05),while the level of interleukin-6 in the modified model group was lower than that in the model group(P<0.05).To conclude,establishing a modified traumatic brain injury model based on the Feeney's free-fall method provides better controls of injury factors during cranial opening.
