Objective To observe the effect of tetraethylplyrazine(TMP) on outward K~+ channel of outer hair cells in guinea pig cochlea.Methods 60 guinea pigs were divided into 6 groups randomly in the experiment.Auditory brainstem response was used to monitor the change of ABR thresholds and patch clamp techniques to observe the effect of TMP on outward K~+ channel.Results TMP decreased the elevated ABR threshold caused by streptomycin. The TMP increased the amplitudes of calcium sensitive potassium channels (I_ K(Ca) ) and delayed outward potassium channels (IK) of outer hair cells of guinea pig cochlea.Conclusion The study indicates that TMP may act as a protective agent against ototoxicity of streptomycin. The amplitudes of I_ K(Ca) and IK of outer hair cells are increased by the TMP,suggesting the possible mechanisms of reducing ototoxicity.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect and safety of alpha lipoic acid injection combined mecobalamin and prostaglandin E on type 2 diabetic patients complicated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN).Methods One hundred and sixty type 2 diabetic patients complicated with DPN in the General Hospital of Benxi Iron and Steel Group Corporation from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were randomly divided into the treatment group(n =80) and the control group (n =80).Three cases of the treatment group and 5 cases of the control group discharged early from the study because of their own reasons.There were 77 cases in the treatment group and 75 cases in the control group.On the basis of controlling blood glucose,patients in the two groups were given 500 μg mecobalamin combined with intramuscular injection once two days,as well as prostaglandinE 10 μg injection once a day.Patients in treatment group were added with 600 mg alpha lipoic acid for intravenous injection once a day for 10-14 days.Total symptom score (TSS),nerve conduction velocity,satisfaction and adverse reactions were evaluated before and after treatment.Results TSS score,tingling score,burning sensation score and hypoesthesia score,numb score in treatment group were (3.5 ± 2.5),(1.1 ± 0.4),(0.9 ± 0.7),(1.3 ± 0.4),(1.3 ± 0.9),significantly lower than those in control group (4.3 ± 2.1,t =2.11,P ＜0.05;1.5 ±0.5,t =1.86,P＜0.05;1.3 ±0.5,t =1.83,P ＜0.05;1.7 ±0.5,t =1.87,P ＜0.05; 1.9 ± 0.4,t =1.91,P ＜ 0.05).The median nerve conduction velocity,peroneal nerve motor conduction velocity,median nerve sensory conduction velocity,common peroneal nerve sensory conduction velocity of patients in treatment group were (53.6 ± 1.4) m/s,(49.6 ± 1.1) m/s,(47.3 ± 1.1) m/s,(48.2 ± 1.9) m/s,lower than those in control group((48.5 ±2.7) m/s,t =-4.94,P ＜0.05;(43.9 ±2.1) m/s,t =-5.36,P ＜0.05; (41.6 ± 1.8) m/s,t =-5.09,P ＜0.05;(43.2 ±2.5) m/s,t =-4.27,P ＜ 0.05,P ＜0.05).In the treatment group,97.4％ (75/77) physicians and 92.2％ (71/77) patients were satisfied with treatment effect,while in the control group,84.0％ (63/75) physicians and 78.7％ (59/75) patients were satisfied with treatment effect.During the study periods,there were 3 cases with facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the treatment group,and 2 cases of facial flushing and 1 cases of dizziness in the control group.All adverse reactions were spontaneous remission without any special treatment.Conclusion Alpha lipoic acid intravenous drip is effective in term of treating type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy,and with high safety.

Objective To study the association of the serum soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1(SICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(SVCAM-1) with metabolic syndrome(MS) and its components. Methods The MS was defined by criteria of the international diabetes federation. The levels of SICAM-1 ,SVCAM-1,plasma glucose,insulin,lipids,uric acid, glycosylated haemoglobin A(1C), and blood viscosity were measured. Results The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were significantly higher in subjects with MS and its components than in those without them. The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 were correlated positively with disorder number of BMI, WHR, SBP, DBP,FPG, 2 hour plasma glucose, triglyceride, uric acid, HbA1c, blood viscosity and HOMA-IR,and negatively with high density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions The concentrations of SICAM-1 and SVCAM-1 rise with the increase of the number of MS components. Endothelial dysfunction might participate in the occurrence and development of MS.

Objective To investigate the difference of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)concentrations in subjects with various glucose tolerances,and to analyze the correlation with insulin resistance.Methods A total of 90 subjects,who came from the Medical Examination Center of the First Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from Oct.2004 to Apr.2005,were divided into five groups according to oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT):normal glucose tolerance(NGT)group;impaired fasting glucose(IFG)group;impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)group;IFG and IGT(IGT/IFG)group;newly diagnosed,complication-free type 2 diabetes(T2DM)group.By using the ELISA methods,the concentration of serum high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)was measured in these subjects,and its correlation with homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)was andlysed.Results The concentration of hs-CRP was significantly higher in IFG,IFG/IGT,T2DM than in NGT.The concentration of hs-CRP was positively correlated with glucose metabolism index and insulin resistance index.Conclusion Our study demonstrates that inflammation already exists not only in T2DM patients but also in subjects with IFG.Inflammation might participate in the occurance and development of T2DM.

Objective To study the effect of simvastatin(SV) on NF-kappa B p65 expression in liver of insulin resistant rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were divided into two groups:basic chow(NC,n=15)or high-fat diet(HF,n=20)for 10 weeks feeding, then assessed by euglycemic-hyperinsulinemia clamp technique. Rats in HF group were treated with(HFS,n=5)and without (HFN,n=5) SV 10mgkg-1d-1 in gavage for 5 weeks.NF-kappa B p65 expressions were tested with Western blot. Results The glucose infusion rate (GIR) in HF group decreased significantly compared with NC group (P

Background The mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+exchanger, NCLX, plays an important role in the balance between Ca2+influx and efflux across the mitochondrial inner membrane in endothelial cells. Mitochondrial metabolism is likely to be affected by the activity of NCLX because Ca2+activates several enzymes of the Krebs cycle. It is currently believed that mitochondria are not only centers of energy produc-tion but are also important sites of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. Methods&Results This study focused on NCLX function, in rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs), induced by glucose. First, we detected an increase in NCLX expression in the endothelia of rats with diabetes mellitus, which was induced by an injection of streptozotocin. Next, colocalization of NCLX expression and mitochondria was detected using confocal analysis. Suppression of NCLX expression, using an siRNA construct (siNCLX), enhanced mitochondrial Ca2+influx and blocked efflux induced by glucose. Un-expectedly, silencing of NCLX expression induced increased ROS generation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Conclusions These findings suggest that NCLX affects glucose-dependent mitochondrial Ca2+signaling, thereby regulating ROS generation and NLRP3 in-flammasome activation in high glucose conditions. In the early stages of high glucose stimulation, NCLX expression increases to compensate in order to self-protect mitochondrial maintenance, stability, and function in endothelial cells.

ObjectiveTo study the application of endovascular treatment of the acute ruptured intracranial aneurysms with the hydrocoil. Methods Fifteen patients ( treatment group ) with 17 acute ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated with the hydrocoils.In the same period,18 patients (control group) with acute ruptured intracranial aneurysms were treated with the bare platinum coil.Results In treatment group,16 aneurysms received dease embolization,and one aneutysm had subtotal embolization.In control group,11 aneurysms achieved dense embolization,7 aneurysms had subtotal embolization.There was a significant difference between the two groups ( x2 =5.402,P ＜ 0.05 ). After follow-up by DSA from 6 months to 1.5 years,no recurrence was showed in the treatment group,while recurrence occurred in 5 cases in the control group aneurysm,with a significant difference between the two groups ( x2 =5.510,P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionThe hydrocoil is an effective therapy for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms with improving the packing density of intracranial aneurysm embolization and reducing the recurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of postoperative three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy concurrent with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma.Methods A total of 60 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.In treatment group,30 patients received simultaneous three-dimensional conformal radiations therapy combined with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy.In control group,30 patients received paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy.The long term survival rate,local recurrence rate and side reactions were observed in two groups.Results The 1,2-year survival rate in treatment group [93.1％ (27/29),75.9 ％ (22/29)] and control group [72.4 ％ (21/29),48.3 ％ (14/29)] had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The 1,2-year local recurrence rate in treatment group [6.9％ (2/29),13.8％ (4/29)] and control group [31.0％ (9/29),44.8 ％ (13/29)] had significant difference (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).The side reactions in two groups were mainly manifested as leukopenia,thrombocytopenia,anemia,nausea,vomiting,liver function damage and oral mucositis.The incidence rate of nausea,vomiting in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group [83.3％ (25/30) vs.53.3％ (16/30)] (P =0.012).Conclusions Postoperative threedimensional conformal radiotherapy concurrent with paclitaxel +TS-1 chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma may improve the long-term survival rate,lower local recurrence rate.But the adverse reactions are increased.
