Objective A method was developed for the determination of cyanide in water by ion chromatography with direct amperometric detection.Methods The eluent used was 0.1 mol/L NaOH and 10%(V/V) acetone.The samples were analyzed by using ion chromatography as well as external standard curve.The effects of 7 common ions,2 electrochemical active substances on the determination of cyanide were studied.Results The linear range of the method was 0.05-100 ?g/L and the correlation coefficient was 0.999 1.The RSD was

The experimental right cerebral contusion model was established in rats.To observe the relationship between the expression of Nitric oxide synthase 1(NOS1)and time elapsed after cerebral contusion,the expression of Nitric oxide synthase 1(NOS1)and mRNA was studied by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization at different intervals after cerebral injury.The results indicated that a positive relationship existed between the expression of NOS1 and NOS1 mRNA and the intervals elapsed after brain injury.This method also can be used to distinguish antemortem and postmortem injury rat′s cerebral contusion.So that,the expression of NOS1 and NOS1 mRNA is of great value for timing of brain injury.

AIM: To investigate the expression of the nephrin in podocyte of the diabetic nephropathy(DN) rats and the mechanism of irbesartan-induced renal protection.METHODS: The DN model was established by a single injection of streptozotocin(STZ),and DN rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: model group and irbesartan treatment group.In addition,the normal rats served as a normal control group. All the rats were received daily gavage respectively for 8 weeks. The urinary protein quality in 24 hours,body weight(BW),kidney weight (KW),KW/BW,glucemia,urea nitrogen,creatinine,total cholesterol, triacylglycerol were detected with correlative methods and the pathological changes of kidney were also detected with optic microscope and transmission electron microscope.The expression of nephrin in podocyte were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: In DN rats, irbesartan reduced the urinary protein quality in 24 hours (P

Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of gochnatiolide A from Ainsliaea in anti-prostate cancer. Methods: The activities of gochnatiolide A on the proliferation of DU145 cells were tested by CCK-8 and colony formation experiments. Apoptosis morphological changes of cells were observed by DAPI staining. The apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry. The expressions of cleaved Poly ADP ribose polymerase (cleaved-PARP), cleaved cystein-containing aspartate specific protease 9 (cleaved Caspase-9), tumor suppressor protein (p53), b cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), transcription factors-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and IκB kinase α, β (IKKα, IKKβ) proteins in DU145 cells were investigated by Western blotting. Results: The natural product gochnatiolide A significantly inhibited the proliferation of prostate cancer DU145 cells, with IC50 values of 4.15, 2.80 and 1.74 μmol/L at 12 h, 24 h, and 48 h, respectively. Meanwhile, gochnatiolide A promoted DU145 cells apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest at G2 and S phases in a concentration dependent manner. In addition, gochnatiolide A also up-regulated apoptosis proteins cleaved-PARP, cleaved Caspase-9 and p53 proteins, and down-regulated Bcl-2 protein. Comparing the control group, the expression of NF-κB p65, IKKα and IKKβ proteins in the NF-κB pathway were decreased after treatment with gochnatiolide A. Conclusion: The natural product gochnatiolide A remarkably inhibited the proliferation and promoted apoptosis in DU145 cells, and the possible mechanism was related to the inhibition of NF-κB pathway.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remifentanil preconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in aged rats.Methods Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 15-18 months,weighing 465-580 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group I/R and remifentanil preconditioning group (group RP).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10％ chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg.Myocardial I/R was induced by 30 min occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion in group I/R.In group RP,remifentanil 10 μg · kg-1 · min-1 was infused intravenously for 20 min followed by 10 min washout before myocardial I/R.In group S,the anterior descending branch was only exposed but not ligated.At 30 min before ligation and 120 min of reperfusion,the activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) were determined.The hearts were removed at 120 min of reperfusion for determination of myocardial infarct size,the percentage of myocardial infarct size was calculated,and myocardial specimens were obtained for observing myocardial ultrastructure.Results Compared with group S,the activities of serum LDH and CK-MB were significantly increased at 120 min of reperfusion in I/R and RP groups.Compared with group I/R,the activities of serum LDH and CKMB were significantly decreased,the percentage of myocardial infarct size was decreased,and the pathological changes were attenuated in group RP.Conclusion Remifentanil preconditioning can attenuate myocardial I/R injury in aged rats.

Objective To detect the effect of Danhong injection on cerebral vascular hemodynamic parameters, Cys-c and Hcy in patients with transient cerebral ischemia(TIA), and analyze its clinical effect. Methods 80 TIA patients were selected. The patients were divided into a control group and a Danhong injection observation group with 40 cases each group. The control group was given conventional treatment, and the observation group was given conventional treatment and Danhong injection. The treatment course was 14 d. The hemodynamic parameters, Cys-c and Hcy expresssion were observed. Clinical effect was analyzed. Results After treatment, average blood flow speed (20.07 ± 4.28 cm/s vs. 16.17 ± 2.46 cm/s, t=5.230), average blood flow (11.14 ± 2.24 ml/s vs. 9.54 ± 1.65 ml/s, t=3.637), and cerebral vascular resistance (1 602.4 ± 98.3 kPa/s·m-1 vs. 1 738.5 ± 104.3 kPa/s·m-1, t=6.024) was significantly improved in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). Cys-c (0.48 ± 0.11 mg/L vs. 0.71 ± 0.14 mg/L, t=8.170) and Hcy (17.45 ± 3.26 μmol/L vs. 23.62 ± 4.12 μmol/L, t=7.428) were significantly decreased in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate of TIA and cerebral infarction were 7.5% and 5% in observation group, which were significantly lower than that of 22.5% and 15% in control group (χ2=2.451, P<0.05;χ2=2.630, P<0.05).Conclusion Danhong injection can reduce the expression of Cys-c and Hcy and recurrence rate of TIA and cerebral infarction.

Objective To discuss the incidence and risk factors of pressure ulcer in surgical patients of our hospital.Methods Totally 10 737 surgical patients were recruited.The patients were assessed by the Braden Scale. The incidence of pressure ulcer in patients with the Braden score lower than 18 was recorded.Besides,the data of patients with pressure ulcers on admission were also collected.All risk factors in patients with pressure ulcer were ana-lyzed.Results The incidence rate of pressure ulcer in surgical patients was 0.54%.The incidence of pressure ulcer was highest in department of Neurosurgery(1.46%),followed by the department of Orthopedics(0.61%),which was significantly higher than other departments,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).Single factor analy-sis indicated that age,smoking,nutrition,diabetes,paralysis,and large,urinary incontinence,consciousness,operation situation,serum albumin,use of analgesics,presence of caregivers contributed to pressure ulcer,the difference was sta-tistically significant(P <0.05).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age,diabetes,paralysis,con-sciousness,albumin levels,use of analgesic,presence of caregivers were independent risk factors of pressure ulcers in patients.Conclusion There are many factors affecting the incidence of pressure ulcer,while age,diabetes,paralysis, consciousness,albumin levels,use of analgesic,presence of caregivers are independent risk factors of pressure ulcers.
