Objective To observe the protective effects of the mixture of ferulic acid (AF) and paeoniflorin on PC12 cells injury by FeSO4/H2O2 in vitro, and explorer its mechanism. Methods The cell injury model was established with FeSO4/H2O2 for 24 h. The process of the growth and morphology of the cells were observed under phase contrast microscope in vitro. The survival rate of the cells was determined by MTT method. The content of MDA and SOD activity was measured respectively by thiobarbituric acid and xanthine oxidase method. Results Compared with FeSO4/H2O2, the mixture of ferulic acid (AF) and paeoniflorin enhanced the PC12 cells survival rate and viability, reduced MDA content and increased SOD activity. Conclusion The mixture of 5~50 ?mol/L AF and 1~10 ?mol/L paeoniflorin exerted protective effects on PC12 cells injury induced by FeSO4/H2O2, which maybe related to free radical scavenging activity and lipid peroxidation process being inhibited.

Objective:To analyze the effect of insulin aspart on the islet cell secretion function, ultrasound imaging indicators and maternal and infant outcome in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:The clinical data of 120 patients with GDM in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2017 to July 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 60 cases were treated with insulin aspart (observation group) and 60 cases were treated with biosynthetic human insulin (control group). The efficacy indexes, ultrasound imaging indexes and maternal and infant outcome were compared.Results:The 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG) after breakfast on the third and fifth day of treatment in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: (6.85 ± 0.87) mmol/L vs. (7.47 ± 1.35) mmol/L and (6.24 ± 0.59) mmol/L vs. (6.60 ± 0.87) mmol/L, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01); there was no statistical difference in 2 h PBG after breakfast on the first day of treatment and after lunch and dinner on the first, third and fifth day of treatment between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) after treatment in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (2.57 ± 0.25 vs. 3.00 ± 0.35), the homeostasis model assessment- β cell function index (HOMA-β) was significantly higher than that in control group (72.45 ± 12.33 vs. 63.66 ± 10.72), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). There were no statistical differences in pre-lunch blood glucose, pre-lunch initial insulin amount, pre-lunch final insulin amount and blood glucose target time between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the incidence of pre-meal hypoglycemia in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group: 8.33% (5/60) vs. 23.33% (14/60), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The umbilical artery and renal artery resistance index (RI), maximum systolic blood flow velocity and end-diastolic blood flow velocity ratio (S/D) after treatment in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group (RI: 0.49 ± 0.16 vs. 0.59 ± 0.15 and 0.69 ± 0.17 vs. 0.76 ± 0.12; S/D: 2.09 ± 0.22 vs. 2.38 ± 0.26 and 5.17 ± 0.45 vs. 5.77 ± 0.63), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in gestational age, delivery mode, neonatal body weight and the incidences of macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia and neonatal referral between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Insulin aspart can significantly improve the islet cell secretion function and ultrasound imaging indexes in the treatment of GDM, and can reduce the risk of pre-meal hypoglycemia, but the effect on maternal and infant outcome remains to be explored.

Objective To investigate the association between inflammatory biomarkers and survival in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods A total of 1038 patients with stable COPD from January 2008 to December 2009 were included in a prospective cohort study.Clinical characteristics,pulmonary function tests,6 min walk test and a modified British Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (MMRC) were completed.Fasting blood was obtained to detect inflammatory biomarkers including neutrophils,C-reactive protein(CRP),fibrinogen,TNF-a,IL-6 and IL-8.Participants were evaluated every 3 months,all-cause mortality was used as the end event.Results 120 patients (9.2%) died in the period of follow-up.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that 1 year,2-year-and 3-year survival rates were 94.4%,88.3% and 84.0%,respectively.Compared with survivors,those who died had a higher level of inflammatory biomarkers.Cox multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that the independent risk factors for death were neutrophils (HR:1.262,95%CI:1.143-1.512,P=0.035),CRP (HR:1.234,95%CI:1.097-1.624,P=0.029),fibrinogen (HR:1.327,95%CI:1.141-1.619,P=0.026),TNF-α (HR:1.124,95%CI:1.043-1.659,P=0.045),IL-6 (HR:1,429,95%CI:1.237-1.816,P=0.014) and IL-8 (HR:1.188,95%CI:1.024-1.383,P=0.042).C statistical analysis showed that no single biomarker significantly improved the C statistic value on the base of clinical model,but it was further improved by the addition of all biomarkers (C =0.764,P =0.010).Conclusions The level of inflammatory biomarkers in the death with stable COPD is significantly increased.Age.BODE index,neutrophils,CRP,fibrinogen,TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 are independent risk factor for the prediction of mortality in patients with COPD.

Objective To investigate the impact of high intra-abdominal pressure on intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury and discuss the clinical significance of abdominal decom-pression. Methods Intra-abdominal pressure and intracranial pressure of 15 patients with abdominal trauma and brain injury were observed to discuss changes of intracranial pressure after abdominal decom-pression.

Objective To compare the effect of three cryoprotectants on vitrification-cryopreservation of C57BL/6J mouse epididymis.Method Epididymises from 6-8-week old male C57BL/6J mice (age) were cryopreserved using DMSO, PROH and R18S3 cryoprotectant solution and thawed , respectively.The morphology of sperm from thawed epididy-mis, the rate of post-thawing survival and reproductive capacity were determined to evaluate the freezing efficiency of the three cryoprotectants .Results The sperms from thawed epididymis of the three groups were all well-preserved structural-ly.The survival rate of sperms was 88.17%, 61.17% and 16.83% in the PROH, DMSO and R18S3 cryoprotectant solu-tions, respectively, and there were significant differences between the three cryopreservation groups (P<0.05 for all). The number of pups from the DMSO , PROH and R18S3 groups were 13, 8 and 17 mice after ICSI and embryo implantation , respectively.Conclusions All the three cryoprotectants DMSO , PROH and R18S3 solutions are suitable for vitrification-cryopreservation of C57BL/6J mouse epididymis.But PROH is the preference of these cryoprotectant solutions .
