To monitor the 24 h esophageal pH in patients with gastroesophageal reflux-induced cough (GERC) before and after omeprazole treatment. Methods The prospective study was conducted in Department of Gastroenterology, People's Hospital of Wuhan University from February 2007 to April 2008. Twenty patients with GERC received 40 mg of omeprazole daily and underwent 24 h esophageal pH monitoring before and 8 weeks after omeprazole treatment. Six parameters by Johson and Demeester were adopted for evaluation: pereentage of total time with pH <4, percentage of uptight reflux time with pH <4, percentage of supine reflux time with pH < 4, the number of reflux episodes with pH < 4, the number of reflux episodes longer than 5 min and the percentage of longest reflux duration. Results The values of six parameters before treatment were 13.5±8.5, 12.2±4.0, 15.8 ±4.1, 56 ± 13, 4. 15 ± 1.87 and 26.2 ± 16. 5 respectively; while those after treatment were 2.7± 1.3, 3.9 ± 1.9, 1.9 ± 1.0, 18 ± 11, 1.24 ±0.65 and 7.4 ± 2. 1. There were significant differences in these six parameters between pre-treatment and post-treatment (P<0.01 ). Conclusion The 24 h esophageal pH monitoring shows that omeprazole is effective in treatment of GERC by decreasing esophageal pH.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) lisinopril on experimental diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in the earlier stage and its mechanism. Methods Diabetes was induced by streptozotosin (STZ) in rats. After 8 weeks of treatment, the effects of lisinopril on function and structure of peripheral nerves were observed; superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, Na+K+-ATPase activity in sciatic nerve and NO, NO synthase levels in plasma were determined, and capillary density of sciatic nerve were also assessed. Results With lisinopril, nerve structure and function was improved, oxidative stress state was ameliorated, and NO level, Na+K+-ATPase activity and capillary density of endoneurium were increased (all P<0.05). Conclusion ACEIs are effective in DPN. The possible mechanisms may be related to the amelioration of ischemic state and related metabolic disorders of the nerves.

Objective The aim of this study is to undemtand the development of peripheral nerve injury on diabetes mellitus.Methods Diabetes was induced by STZ.We determined nerve conduction velocity,thermal pain threshold,morphoh)gy changes of sciatic nerve and quantitative analysis of sural nerve of diabetic model group and normal control group after 2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks respectively,and observed dynamically functional and morphologic changes of peripheral nerve of diabetic rats.Results After 2 weeks,diabetic rats showed that motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities slowed down and thermal pain threshold decreased.After 4 weeks.changes of pathology of sciatic nerve were observed.With the duration extending,the damages of nerve were aggravated gradually.Conclusions Neumpathy appeared in earlier stage on experimental diabetic rats and functional changes were preceded to morphologic changes.

BACKGROUND:The phenomenon of atrophy or reduction of muscle, causing degenerative changes of muscle functions, appears along with age. Sports training, in which muscle satelite cels are of great importance, is beneficial to increase in muscle mass and improvement of muscle function.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize regulatory mechanism of satelite cels in skeletal muscle mass; changes of satelite muscle cels in the degenerative process of muscle mass and strength; declining and reverse effects of sports training intervention; situations and problems of current research and prospective of the future.
METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed database by using the key words of “sarcopenia, skeletal muscle, satelite cels” from 1986 to 2015. The language was limited to English. The eligible papers were further analyzed and reviewed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 168 papers were screened. Finaly, 39 papers were selected according to the titles and objectives. Skeletal muscle atrophy is shown as II type muscle fiber atrophy, and the II type muscle fiber satelite cel content decreases simultaneously. Exercise is beneficial to increase muscle mass and improve muscle function in older people. Both resistance and endurance trainings can increase the skeletal muscle, especialy the II muscle fiber satelite cel content with a further increase in the satelite cel activation and proliferation. The number and activation degree of satelite cels are related to muscle aging, and satelite cels and proliferation factors regulate muscle cel formation. Therefore, future researches should not only focus on the increase of satelite cel bank, but also explore effective ways to promote the activation of satelite cels, such as exercise training, nutrition and drugs.

Objective To investigate prevention and therapy effects of ACEI on peripheral nerve in the earlier stage of diabetic rats and the influence on microcirculation of experimental DPN.Methods Diabetes was induced by STZ.After 8 weeks of prevention or therapy treatment.the effects of lisinopril on function and structure of diabetic peripheral nerve were observed,the NO,NOS level in plasma and capillary density of sciatic nerve were determined.Results Lisinopril prevention and therapy treatment improved nerve conduction velocity,ameliorated morphology abnormalities in nerve fiber and capillary at different degrees.The NO level and capillary density of endoneurium were increased. Conclusions ACE inhibitors may exert neuroprotective effect through improving abnormality of microcirculation.

Objective To explore the effect of I kappa B kinase (IKK) on liver during hepatic ischemia reperfusion (HIR) in rats.Methods Wister rats were divided randomly into HIR group in which hepatic reperfusion was given after 60 minutes of ischemia by interruption of the arterial and portal venous blood supply to the left lobes and middle lobes of the liver; HIR + PDTC treatment group in which PDTC (120 mg/kg) were injected via the dorsum vein of penis before ischemia reperfusion; and sham control group in which midline laparotomy was performed without vascular occlusion and treatment.Expression levels of IKK were measured with In situ hybridization(ISH).The NF-κB activities were determined with EMSA.Expression levels of TNF-α were measured with immunohistochemistry (IH).Serum levels of ALT were measured.Results Expression level of IKK was increased markedly from 0 to 12h and peaked 6h after reperfusion in HIR group.NF-κB was activated 0 ～ 12h after reperfusion and activities of NF-κB were maximal 6h after reperfusion in HIR group rats compared with sham control group.Expression level of TNFα was increased markedly from 0 to 12h and peaked 6h after reperfusion in HIR group.Serum levels of ALT were increased significantly after reperfusion in H1R group.Expression level of IKK was lowered markedly in HIR + PDTC group from 0 to 12h after reperfusion.NF-κB activities were significantly lower in HIR +PDTC group than in HIR group from 0 to 12h after reperfusion.Expression level of TNF-α was lowered markedly in HIR + PDTC group as compared with HIR group from 0 to 12h after reperfusion.Serum level of ALT was decreased significantly after reperfusion in HIR + PDTC group as compared with HIR group.Conclusion HIR can activate IKK-β which promotes the activation of NF-κB,then NF-κB results in upregulation transcription of TNF-α gene which gives rise to the release of other inflammatory cytokines and triggers uncontrolled inflammatory response,and induces hepatic injury.Blocking IKK-NF-κB pathway may be an effective approach to checking the generation and development of ALI,PDTC plays important prophylaxis and treatment roles in hepatic injury after HIR.
