Objective To understand the plasma Platelet Microparticiles(PMPs)level and its clinical significance in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods Venous blood samples were obtained from 96 of T2DM patients and 30 of non-diabetic control subjects.PMPs,CD61P positive on platelets,were quantified by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,plasma levels of PLT,FPG,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C and LP(a)were detected,as well as the levels of MA and TRF from urine samples.Results PMPs counts were significantly greater in 2 year or up 2 year groups than in controls.PMPs count was associated with levels of urine MA and TRF,but not related with other indexes.Conclusion PMPs may be a marker of microvascular disease in Type 2 diabetes.

Objective To determine if thiopental, propofol and ketamine can be safely used for induction of anesthesia in patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension. Methods Eighteen patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension were studied. Age ranged from 14 to 31 yr and body weight from 35 to 57 kg. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine 1 mg? kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted through internal jugular vein. The patients were randomized to receive thiopental 2 mg?kg-1 , propofol 1 mg?kg-1 or ketamine 1 mg?kg-1 administered slowly via Swan-Ganz catheter for induction of anesthesia. MAP, high arterial pressure (RPA), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were measured before induction of the intravenous anesthetics. Results PVR unchanged significantly after ketamine , thiopental and propofol as compared with the baseline value. MAP was significantly decreased after injection of thiopental and propofol. Conclusion Thiopental, propofol and ketamine can be safely used for induction of anesthesia in patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension.

Ebola virus infection causes severe hemorrhagic fever in human and non-human primates with high mortality.Viral entry/infection is initiated by binding of glycoprotein GP protein on Ebola virion to host cells,followed by fusion of virus-cell membrane also mediated by GP.Using an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-based pseudotyping system,the roles of 41 Ebola GP1 residues in the receptor-binding domain in viral entry were studied by alanine scanning substitutions.We identified that four residues appear to be involved in protein folding/structure and four residues are important for viral entry.An improved entry interference assay was developed and used to study the role of these residues that are important for viral entry.It was found that R64 and K95 are involved in receptor binding.In contrast,some residues such as I170 are important for viral entry,but do not play a major role in receptor binding as indicated by entry interference assay and/or protein binding data,suggesting that these residues are involved in post-binding steps of viral entry.Furthermore,our results also suggested that Ebola and Marburg viruses share a common cellular molecule for entry.

Objective To explore the clinical features of diabetic macular edema (DME) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and correlation with visual function. Methods Forty-nine eyes from 40 patients with DME (DME group) and 31 eyes from 31 patients without DME (control group) were examined with OCT,pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (P-VEP),macular perimetry. According to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), 49 eyes with DME were divided into group A (without PDR, 30eyes) and group B (with PDR, 19 eyes). Results The retinal macular thickness of central fovea in DME group [(299.25±63.87)μm] was more than that in contol group [(204.35 ± 37.94)μm], visual acuity and macular visual field in DME group were significantly different than those in control group, respectively (P ＜ 0.05). The retinal macular thickness of central fovea,visual acuity and visual field were no significant differences between group A and group B (P＞0.05). OCT macular thickness and visual correlation coefficient was -0.437(P＜ 0.05 ); OCT macular thickness and mean defect correlation coefficient was 0.441(P ＜ 0.05). Conclusions OCT can provide a useful tool for monitoring the occurrence and development of DME, can assess the response to treatment. With increasing of the macular retinal thickness, the visual acuity and macular visual field of visual function are more damaged.

Objective: To observe the effect of cilostazol on the ion channel of right ventricular cells in experimental rats, and to explore the ion channel mechanism of ciolstazol for preventing the ventricular arrhythmia in Brugada syndrome.
Methods: Our research was composed of 2 groups: ①Perfusion group, the cells were treated in 4 sub-groups by cilostazole at 1, 2, 5, 50μmol/L respectively, and there were 9, 5, 3, 7 cells were recorded at each sub-group to observe the differences of current density Ito at before and after treatment. ②Oral group, which included 4 sub-groups:Control 1 with 7 rats, Experiment 1 with 5 rats, and Control 2 with 8 rats, Experiment 2 with 6 rats respectively. The differences of current density Ito and ICa,L were studied between each Control and Experiment sub-groups.
Results: In Perfusion group,①with cilostazole 1, 2, 5, 50μmol/L treatment, the current density Ito decreased in all sub-groups, when the self-command voltage at+60mV, the Ito was signiifcantly different in each sub-group at before and after treatment, all P<0.05.②When each command voltage decreasing, the reduction rates of Ito were similar among 4 sub-groups, all P>0.05. In Oral group,①When the self-command voltage from-50mV reached the maximum of+60mV, the Ito was similar between Control 1 and Experiment 1 sub-groups, P>0.05.②When the self-command voltage at+10mV, the current density of ICa,L was slightly higher in Control 2 sub-group than that in Experiment 2 sub-group, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Direct perfusion of cilostazole in right ventricular cells may inhibit Ito in experimental rats, such effect was similar with cilostazole treatment at (1-50)μmol/L. Cilostazole might prevent the ventricular arrhythmia in Brugada syndrome in experimental rats.

Objective: To optimize extraction conditions to completely separate ginkgolic acids off ginkgolic flavonone glycosides and terpene lactones. Methods: A liquid liquid equilibrium model was used to simulate extracting process of active components in ginkgo biloba leaves. Results of calculation and experiment were compared to value the extraction system, and the best extracting condition was established. Results: when pH=2.5, extractant consists of 20% ethanol water solution and cyclo hexane, the best extraction efficient can be obtained. Conclusion: There is a great difference between theoretical simulating distribution ratio and experiment value in order of magnitude. However, their relative relationship is consistent.

Objective: To explore the influence factors of the degenerate oligonucleotide primered PCR(DOP-PCR). Methods: Genome DNA template from the mouse single oocyte or liver tissue were used to perform DOP-PCR. DOP-PCR was carried out with templates of different origin, different gradient dilution, with or without low melting point gel purified to wipe off the small fragment that might interfere with the following analysis, and then PCR of gene FTCD and CBS were carried out to evaluate the influence of these factors on the amplification efficiency and specificity. Results: Compared with genome DNA template from mouse liver, the template from single oocyte had the same efficiency and specificity but a minor yield and different gradient dilution of DNA template had no effect on the efficiency and specificity. Furthermore, there was a higher specificity in the low melting point gel-purified DOP-PCR product than in untreated ones. Conclusion: We have got a satisfactory result and increased specificity from DOP-PCR product purified with the low melting point gel. Single oocyte of mice could be used for further investigation of special genes detection by DOP-PCR and of an optimization in the yield of the products.

Objective To investigate the changes of average body weight gain and serum biochemical indexes of C57BL/6J mice (B6 mouse) and their offspings after frozen-thawed embryo transfer of B6 mice.Methods The mice were divided into three groups in this study.In the experimental group I (E-I,30 males and 20 females),2-cell embryos after in-vitro fertilization were collected,and cryopreserved by EFS method,then obtained the offsprings after transplantation of the recovered embryos to oviduct of recipient mice (ICR mouse).In the experimental group II (E-II,26 males and 17 females),when the mice from E-I grew to maturity,the offsprings were obtained from natural mating of mice from E-I.In the control group (20 males and 20 females),the offsprings came from conventional feeding and natural mating.The three groups of mice were raised to 16 weeks old,weighing the body weight at a regular time intervals,and the serum biochemical indexes were obtained from 16-week-old mice.Then the changes of average body weight and serum biochemical indexes of the mice were analyzed.Results The average body weight of E-I mice was significantly higher than that of control group at each week-age (P<0.01).The average body weight of E-II female mice was significantly higher than that of the control group in 12-16-week old mice (P<0.01),but the average body weight of E-II male mice showed no significant differences compared with the control group except for few weeks.The serum biochemical indexes of E-I and E-II mice were changed in all items except for AST,TP and Ca.Conclusions There are some effects on the average body weight gain and serum biochemical indexes of C57BL/6J mice and their offspings after frozen-thawed embryo transfer.
