Chinese Journal of Hypertension 2007;0(07):-
Background Retinol binding protein 4(RBP4) is a novel adipokine which has been related with insulin resistance.Objective To test the hypothesis that telmisartan improves glucose and lipid metabolism may be associated with inhibiting serum RBP4 and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity in liver.Methods Thirty wistar male rats were received high fat diet to establish metabolic syndrome model and randomly to receive telmisartan [5 mg/(kg?d),n=8] or pioglitazone [20 mg/(kg?d),n=8] for 8 weeks or high-fat diet placebo(n=10).Plasma triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),fasting plasma insulin,serum RBP4,and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase specific enzyme activity in liver(PEPCK) were determined.Results Telmisartan improved insulin resistance and the disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism in diet-induced insulin resistance rats [HOMA-IR,telmisartan group(3.4?1.2) vs high-fat diet group:(8.3?1.1),P

Objective: To compare the phenotype of induced dendritic cell (DC) derived from peripheral blood of the healthy individuals and the patients with oral carcinoma. Methods:15 patients with oral carcinomal at stages II or above were assigned to study group and 15 cases of healthy volunteers were assigned to control group. Leukocyte were isolated by density centrifugation. Adherent fractions were incubated in present of GM-CSF,IL-4 and TNF-? for 7 days in vitro. The morphological change of the cultured cells was observed by light microscopy and electronic microscopy. The phenotype expressions of CD83,CD1a,CD86, CD80, HLA-DR were analysized by flow cytometry. Results:Typical DCs were obtained from two groups after 7 days culture. The expression rate of CD83,CD1a on DC from healthy volunteers was significantly higher than that from patients (P0.05). Conclusion:DC derived from oral cancer patient' s peripheral blood monocyte might be more matured and is a good cell model for further immunotherapy and research.

Objective In order to provide scientific evidence for revealing the pathophysiological changes, levels of the humoral and cellular immunity and cytokines in elderly patients with bacterial pneumonia were determined. Methods The changes of immunological markers including IgA, IgG, IgM,C3, C4,T cell subpopulation (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +) and CD4 +/CD8 +, IL 2, IL 6, IL 8, TNF ? were examined for the elderly bacterial pneumonia group(BPG), the aged control group(ACG) and the young control group(YCG). Results The level of CD3 +〔(53 90?7 10)% vs (62 67?6 08)%〕, CD4 +〔(33 85?4 69)% vs (3 57?3 40)%〕, IL 2〔(4 09?0 69) ?g/L vs (6 72?0 52) ?g/L〕 and IL 8〔(0 28?0 07) ?g/L vs (0 39?0 09) ?g/L〕 in ACG were significantly lower than those in YCG. The levels of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, CD8 +, IL 8〔(0 33?0 08) ?g/L vs (0 28?0 07) ?g/L〕, and TNF ?〔(1 25?0 23) ?g/L vs (1 10?0 20) ?g/L〕in BPG were significantly higher than those in ACG; and in BPG the levels of IgG, IgM, C3, IL 8 and TNF ? were significantly higher than those in YCG. However, the levels of CD3 +, CD4 + and the ratio CD4 +/CD8 +in BPG were markedly lower than those in YCG;the IL 2(2 730?0 612 ?g/L) was much lower than that of ACG〔(6 72?0 52) ?g/L〕 and YCG〔(4 09?0 69) ?g/L〕, respectively. Conclusions The occurrence and the progress of bacterial pneumonia in the elderly are related to the immunological functioning including the excessive humoral immunity, the super activation of complement system, the dysequilibrium of T cellular immunoloregulation network and the super excretion of inflammatory cytokines.

Objectives To prospectively investigate the diagnostic accuracy,image quality and radiation doses of prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch spiral acquisition computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) using Flash dual-source CT for the diagnosis of significant coronary stenoses.Methods Seventy-three patients underwent both CTCA and CCA.CTCA was performed using a Flash dual-source CT system with data acquisition at a high-pitch of 3.4.CCA served as the standard of reference.Radiation dose values were calculated using the dose-length product.Results There were 925 vessel segments in 73 patients.(1)Diagnostic accuracy: the sensitivity,specificity and positive and negative predictive values were 93.2% (164/176),96.4% (722/749),85.9% (164/191),98.4% (722/734) for segment assessment and 98.4% ( 123/125 ),87.4% ( 83/95 ),91.1% ( 123/135 ),97.6% ( 83/85 ) for vessel assessment and 100% (44/44),89.7% ( 26/29 ),93.6% ( 44/47 ),100% ( 26/26 ) for patient assessment.( 2 ) Image quality: there were 2 coronary segments of right coronary artery and one segment of left circumflex artery with non-diagnostic image quality.There was no non-diagnostic image quality in left anterior descending artery.(3) Radiation dose: the effective radiation dose was ( 1.14 ± 0.10) mSv.Conclusions CTCA using the prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch spiral mode of the Flash dual-source CT system is associated with high diagnostic accuracy for the assessment of coronary artery stenoses at low dose.

Objective:To measure the voice samples of the normal aged in order to systemically study the fea-tures of the voice changes. Method :To collect and analyze 146 voice samples of the normal aged with sonogram.Result:The fundamental frequency of the voice of the aged decreases and rises in the male more than 80 yearsolder. The low frequency harmonics are regulation and the intensity is strong in the formant of the aged. Thedifference reduces in voice between male and female. The harmonics to noise ratio tends downwards and the am-plitude perturbation quotient tends upwards along with the growth of age in the aged male. The changes of the above-mentioned parameters are not significant in the aged female. Conclusion:The voice changes are normalphysiological ones in the normal aged. The changes of the parameters are used to evaluate normal aged voice andabnormal one. The changes show that the function in the aged phonation tends to decline to a certain extent andit must be protected and be trained.
