Objective To investigate the neuroprotective effect of adiponectin on rats with cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury and explore its possible mechanism.Methods Sixty-four SD rats were divided into normal group (C) and diabetic group (D) randomly.Type 2 diabetic rats model were made by high-fat diet before the middle cerebral artery occulation model (MCAO) surgery.Each group was divided into two subgroups.CAPNand DAPN groups were given exogenous recombinant globular adiponectin via jugular vein one hour after ischemic-reperfusion injury,C0 and D0 groups were given the same amount of normal saline at the same time.Body weight and blood glucose of the rats were measured before ischemia.We also evaluated the neurological function of rats 24 h after treatment according to Longa criteria and observed the morphological changes of cells in brain area via HE staining.The vascular density in ischemic-reperfusion injury area was detected through 3D confocal image system 2 weeks after the treatment.Results The body weight of diabetic rats was significantly lower than normal rats((284.06 ± 19.85)vs (220.31 ±21.87) g,t =8.634,P =0.000).Blood glucose of diabetic rats before ischemia was significantly higher than normal rats ((4.36±0.13)vs(22.92 ± 1.58) mmol/L,t =11.74,P =0.000).Compared with C0 group,the neurological function score of CAPN group was lower(2.29 ± 0.69 vs 17.0 ± 0.69,t =2.186,P =0.038).Compared with D0 group,the neurological function score of DAPN group was lower(2.89 ± 0.33 vs 2.40 ±0.51,t =2.567,P =0.018),too.HE staining showed that the neuronal injury were milder in CAPN,DAPN group,compared with C0,D0 group,respectively.Adiponectin increased the vascular density of ischemic cortex inC group ((2014.58±61.18)/0.002 mm2 vs(3211.95 ±71.64)/0.002 mm2,t =12.16,P=0.023) and D group ((502.86 ± 30.43)/0.002 mm2 vs (1426.69 ± 97.24)/0.002 mm2,t =25.64,P =0.001).Adiponectin increased the vascular density of ischemic striatum in C group (472.59 ± 4.78)/0.002mm2 vs (736.60 ±104.90) /0.002 mm2,t=7.11,P=0.007) and D group (432.04 ±4.65)/0.002 mm2 vs (1780.75 ± 74.54)/0.002 mm2,t =51.08,P =0.000).Conclusions Adiponectin exerts the neuroprotective effect on cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury in normal and diabetic rats.And it may protect the brain through promoting angiogenesis.

To compare the clinical effect of Qianliekang and finasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia to explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine for the therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Methods:Totally 36 Wistar rats were selected, and then divided into 3 groups randomly with 12 ones in each, namely Qianliekang group, finasteride group and the control group. After 14 days of castration, the three groups were all treated with subcutaneous injection of 5 mg kg-1 testosterone propi-onate, and Qianliekang group was additionally treated with intragastric administration at 10-fold adult dose, finasteride group was trea-ted with intragastric administration at the dose of 0. 1 mg·kg-1 , and the control group was treated with the same amount of distilled water. The rats were sacrificed after the 21-day treatment, and the wet weight of prostate was determined, the prostate volume was measured and the pathological changes in prostate tissue were observed under a light microscope. Results:The wet weight of prostate in Qianliekang group and finasteride group was (0. 467 ± 0. 061) g and(0. 408 ± 0. 058) g, respectively, the prostate volume was (0. 371 ± 0. 059)ml and(0. 365 ± 0. 054)ml, respectively, and the above indicators were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Qianliekang can effectively inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia in the model rats, and the mechanism may be related to the proliferation inhibition of prostate cells.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of different concentration of iodized salt for preventing iodine deficiency disorders. Methods Using the principle and method of systematic review, we searched Cochrane Library(from 1994 to Mar. 2007), Medline(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), BA(from 1969 to Mar. 2007), PubMed(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), OC1D(from 1950 to Mar. 2007), ISI Web of Knowledge(from 1966 to Mar. 2007), Vip (from 1989 to Mar. 2007), Wanfang(from 1997 to Mar. 2007), CBMDisc(from 1978 to Mar. 2007) and CNKI(1994 to Mar. 2007) and hand searched 6 relevant Chinese journals, including Chinese Journal of Preventive Medicine, Chinese Journal of Endemiology, Chinese Journal of Epidemiology, Chinese Journal of Control of Endemic Disease, Endemic Diseases Bulletin and Modern Preventive Medicine. We screened the for eligible studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria to be rigorously evealuatecl descriptly and qualitatively. Results Thirteen studies were included, of which, the first six were intervention trials with comparison, including two community intervention trials, which classified all objects into different groups, using iodized salt at different concentration as intervention, four were RCTs with different intervention methods, compare the iodized salt with other intervention measures. Seven were cross-sectional studies, which analyzed the iodine nutrition of people after the concentration of iodized salt was lowered down. Because of different interventions in control groups and different outcome measures, it was difficult to perform recta-analysis, a descriptive analysis of the results was presented. Most studies showed that urinary iodine level decreased as the concentration of iodized salt went down gradually. When the concentration of iodized salt went down to the best level recommended, goiter rate decreased obviously. Conclusions Iodized salt was considered as the hest method of iodine supply to prevent iodine deficiency disorders. But effectiveness of preventing iodine deficiency disorders with various concentration of iodized salt is different. To lower the concentration of iodized salt properly can not only prevent iodine deficiency disorders but also reduce the side effect of excess iodine intake to the minimum. And it can also save a lot of iodine resource. Well-designed community-based intervention trials with large sample size are needed to confirm the effect of different concentration of iodized salt on preventing iodine deficiency disorder.

Objective To evaluate the influence of the preparation-to-colonoscopy interval, diet control and excise on bowel preparation quality in the split-dose method for colonoscopy. Methods Observational study, prospective cohort study design, three bowel preparation methods were set up in different departments for A, B, C 3 groups, each group of 110 cases. In group A, no movement was required. Diet preparation was 3 days earlier than the examination, and take all the medicine in once at 20:00 the day before examination, group B, 1 L medicine required for 20 minutes movement, diet preparation was 1 day earlier than the examination, and take the medicine in twice the day before examination at 14:00, group C, keep walking during taking the medicine, diet preparation was 1 day earlier than the examination, and took all the medicine in once the day before examination at 20:00. The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale was used to evaluate the bowel cleansing quality. A questionnaire was administered to investigate patients′tolerability and safety. Results A total of 330 consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy. There was no significance among three groups on bowel cleansing quality(P>0.05). However, the number ofexcellently cleanedwas higher in group B than the others, in group A,B and C respectively 30, 46, 29 cases, the difference was significant (χ2=7.627, P=0.022). Group B was superior to the others in terms of comfort, sleep quality, hunger, and discomfort, the difference was significant (χ2=19.425, 6.687 and 8.130, P < 0.01 or 0.05). Group B was also superior to the others in terms of the compliance of completing the preparation under the doctors′advice (χ2=14.756, P=0.001) and exercises (χ2=11.848, P=0.001). Conclusions The new method shortened the time of the diet control and set the exercises time to 20 minutes. So it was found to have a higher level of safety, bowel preparation quality and tolerability.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, fish collagen biomedical materials still exhibit obvious deficiency in thermal stability,in vivo degradation stability and in vivo material morphology stability. To expand the application of fish source collagen, it is urgent to improve the material performance by increasing the density and collagen molecule tightness of freshwater fish collagen sponge materials using technique methods.OBJECTIVE: To optimize the reconstitute process for nasopore preparation using fish scale collagen.METHODS: The optimal process for nasopore preparation through the reconstitution of fish scale collagen was ascertained by taking tilapia fish skin as a raw material to extract enzymatic soluble collagen at a temperature lower than the collagen denaturation temperature and recombinant rate of collagen fibers as index. Optimization of the conditions for nasopore preparation was carried out using single factor test and orthogonal test. The prepared nasopore was analyzed through infrared spectroscopy and microstructure analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal conditions for nasopore preparation were determined through the single factor test and orthogonal test as follows: 20 ℃ for 10 hours at pH 7.4 using a mixture of 65 mmol/L NaCl and 1 g/L collagen, by which the reconstitute rate of collagen fibers was up to 68.6%. The prepared nasopore is characterized by a refined porous structure constituted by threadlike collagen fibers, and has complete three-dimensional spiral structure,which is a potential intracavitary hemostatic material with fine properties.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF),and to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 667 patients with ACLF who were hospitalized and treated in our hospital from January 2009 to December 2014,and according to the presence or absence of SBP,they were divided into ACLF group(n =232) and ACLF-SBP group(n =435).The general information,laboratory markers,and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups,and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normally distributed continuous data between groups;the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups,and a logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for ACLF complicated by SBP.Results The comparison of laboratory markers and comorbidities showed that there were significant differences between the two groups in albumin (Alb) (t =-4.110,P ＜ 0.001),alanine aminotransferase (U =-6.653,P ＜ 0.001),aspartate aminotransferase (t =-8.045,P ＜ 0.001),blood sodium (t =-2.879,P =0.006),prothrombin time activity (t =-2.140,P =0.037),international normalized ratio (t =1.453,P =0.042),hemoglobin (t =-3.446,P =0.001),upper gastrointestinal bleeding (x2 =48.252,P =0.002),hepatorenal syndrome (x2 =16.244,P =0.031),and pulmonary infection (x2 =13.564,P ＜ 0.001).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant differences in Alb (OR =1.119,95 ％ CI:1.052 ～ 1.189),platelet count (PLT) (OR =1.035,95 ％ CI:0.755 ～ 1.084),upper gastrointestinal bleeding (OR =1.117,95 ％ C1:0.072 ～ 1.135),and pulmonary infection (OR =2.275,95 ％ CI:0.978 ～ 5.292) (P =0.002,0.038,0.022,and 0.036).Conclusion In the treatment of ACLF patients,risk factors including low Alb,low PLT,upper gastrointestinal bleeding,and pulmonary infection should be prevented,and early diagnosis and intervention of these risk factors helps to reduce the incidence of SBP.
