ObjectiveTo observe the effect and security of Batroxobin vein injection on patients with diabetes mellitus and acute cerebral infarction.Methods66 patients with diabetes mellitus and acute cerebral infarction were treated with Batroxobin vein injection and assessed with the scale of neurological deficit before treatment and at 3rd and 6th day after treatment.At the same time the coagulant function and the count of blood platelet were measured.ResultsAfter treatment,the concentration of fibrinogen in blood plasma of patients decreased and scores of neurological deficit assessment improved both significantly(P<0.001).The total validity of Batroxobin vein injection was 93.9%.No side actions of drug were found.ConclusionBatroxobin vein injection can be used as a therapeutic method of dissolving thrombus in patients with diabetes mellitus and acute cerebral infarction in early stage.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of fluoroquinolone resistance in clinical isolates of Enterococcus faecium. Methods The MICs of six fluoroquinolones(norfloxacin,ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,levofloxacin,gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin) against 35 clinical isolates of E.faecium from eight hospitals in Tianjin were determined by agar dilution method in the absence or presence of multidrug resistance efflux pump inhibitor reserpine.The quinolone-resistance determining region(QRDR)of parC and gyrA were amplified and sequenced.Results No less than twofold decrease in MIC values of the six fluoroquinolones in the presence of reserpine was observed in 35,29,1,0,6 and 2 of the 35 strains of E.faecium respectively.One fluoro- quinolone-susceptible isolate and five fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates were selected randomly to analyze the QRDR of parC and gyrA.All five fluoroquinolone-resistant isolates had single amino acid alteration in both GyrA and ParC.Ser-80 in ParC was substituted by lie(4 isolates)or Arg(1 isolates).Glu-87 in GyrA was replaced by Lys(2 isolates)or Gly(2 isolates). The other one had an Ser-83-to-Ile substitution.The one fluoroquinolone-suseeptible isolate had no alteration in the QRDR of either ParC or GyrA.Conclusions Both target alteration and active efflux are responsible for the resistance to fluoroquinolone in clinical isolates of E.faecium.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation between arachidonic acid (AA) and acute red blood cells damage in rats, and to build a model with hidden blood loss in vivo, and to explore the pathological mechenism of hidden blood loss.

METHODSA total of 50 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats weighing (200 ± 20) g were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10): control group and four experimental groups. The rats in the experimental groups were given 0.5 ml different concentrations of AA dilu- ents, 5, 10, 20, 40 mmol/L respectively. The blood samples were collected from orbital venous at the beginning and 24, 48, 72 hours after administration. Then the changes of hemoglobin (Hb) ,red blood cell count (RBC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH- PX) activity, total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity and hydrogen peroxide (H202) in the blood samples were tested.

RESULTSSignificant hidden blood loss occurred when the concentration was 10 mmol/L in the experimental group, with the RBC and Hb sharply reduced in blood samples. The Hb and RBC were reduced in all the experimental groups and control group at 24 hours after administration, while in the experimental groups they changed more obviously. The GSH-PX activity, T-SOD activity and H₂O₂were also significantly reduced in all groups, and the changes showed significant differences. The Hb and RBC were relatively stable in the control group and the experimental groups at 48 hours after administration; while GSH-PX activity, T-SOD activity and H₂O₂were all significantly decreased, and the changes in the experimental groups were more notable.

CONCLUSIONElevated levels of AA in the blood causes oxidative stress in the red blood cells, leading to the damage of red blood cells and hemoglobin, which is responsible for hidden blood loss.

Objective: To observe the antiasthmaf ic, anti-inflammatory and immunological effects of Gubenchuansoukang Granule. Methods: The rats asthma model was established by ovalbumin sensitization. The model was identified by the study of the asthma incubation period and the total white cells counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The anti-inflammatory effect was observed by the acute inflammation and chronic inflammation induced xylene and agar. To observe the effect of Gubenchuansoukang Granule on humoral immunity and cellular immunity induced by chicken red blood cell and 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene. Results: Gubenchuansoukang Granule could lengthen the asthma incubation period, reduce the quantity of total white cells in BALF, against the acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, and restrain the humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Conclusion: Gubenchuansoukang Granule had antiasthmafic, anti-inflammatory and immunosuppression effects.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disease characterized by intestinal dysmotility, the mechanism of which remains elusive. We aim to determine whether the high-affinity choline transporter 1 (CHT1), a determinant of cholinergic signaling capacity, modulates intestinal motility associated with stress-induced IBS. METHODS: A rat IBS model was established using chronic water avoidance stress (WAS). Colonic pathological alterations were evaluated histologically and intestinal motility was assessed by intestinal transit time and fecal water content (FWC). Visceral sensitivity was determined by visceromotor response to colorectal distension. RT-PCR, western blotting, and immunostaining were performed to identify colonic CHT1 expression. Contractility of colonic muscle strips was measured using isometric transducers. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure acetylcholine (ACh). We examined the effects of MKC-231, a choline uptake enhancer, on colonic motility. RESULTS: After 10 days of WAS, intestinal transit time was decreased and fecal water content increased. Visceromotor response magnitude in WAS rats in response to colorectal distension was significantly enhanced. Protein and mRNA CHT1 levels in the colon were markedly elevated after WAS. The density of CHT1-positive intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal and myenteric plexus neurons in WAS rats was higher than in controls. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate partly reversed CHT1 upregulation and alleviated colonic hypermotility in WAS rats. Pharmacological enhancement of CHT1 activity by MKC-231 enhanced colonic motility in control rats via upregulation of CHT1 and elevation of ACh production. CONCLUSION: Upregulation of CHT1 in intramuscular interstitial cells of Cajal and myenteric plexus neurons is implicated in chronic stress-induced colonic hypermotility by modulation of ACh synthesis via nuclear factor-kappa B signaling.

Objetive: To investigate whether apoptosis of SGC7901 cells can be induced by the expression of the recombinant gene of anti-HER2 ScFv/tBid. Methods: The recombinant anti-HER2 ScFv/tBid gene was cloned into vector pCMV and the recombinant plasmid was transfected into SGC7901 cells. The gene expression was detected by RT-PCR and immunofluorescent staining. Cell counting was carried out to show the effect of the gene transfection on cell growth. At the same time, significant apoptotic peak was detected by flow cytometry in recombinant anti-HER2 ScFv/tBid gene transfected cells. Results: The fusion protein of anti-HER2 ScFv/tBid was observed in the cytoplasm of transfected SGC7901 cells. The transfected cells displayed typical cell growth inhibition and apoptosis. Conclusion: Fusion protein of anti-HER2 ScFv/tBid can induce apoptosis of SGC7901.

Objective To observe the effects of estradiol benzoate (E_2),human cberionic gonadotropin (hCG) and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) on testicular descent and their relation to the expression of insulin-like factor-3 (INSL3) mBNA in rats.Methods At birth,40 SD male rats were assigned to 4 groups,and each group consisted of 10 rats.Each group received injection of one of the following drugs:normal saline(NS),E_3,hCG+E_2,and LHRH+E_2 for 29 clays after birth.Total RNA was extracted from the testis on day 30 after birth.INSL3 was synthesized and further amplified by RT-PCR.Results (1) Testicular descent rate on clay 30 after birth was 100% (20/20) in the group of NS,0% (0/20) in the group of E_2,85% (17/20) of hCG + E_2,and 70% (14/20) of LHBH + E_2.There was no significant difference between the last two groups ( P = 0.45).(2) Weight of testis differed significantly among the groups ( F = 56.67,P＜0.01 ),being lightest in the group of E_2.(3) E_2 could damage the germ cells of testis,however hCG and LHRH ameliorated this situation. (4) The expression of INSL3 mBNA was absent in the group of E_2,while the other groups showed normal expression.Conclusion E_2 inhibits testicular descent in rats,while hCG and LHRH promote the progress.The mechanism seems to be related to the expression of INSL3 mRNA.

Objective: To investigate the effect of end-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy with pocket-insertion on the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Methods: The clinical data of 581 patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy from Dec. 2012 to Sep. 2018 in Cangzhou Central Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 327 cases of open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) , 175 cases of laparoscopic assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (LAPD) , and 79 cases of total laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy. End-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy with pocket-insertion was used in all cases. The incidence of pancreatic fistula after operation was analyzed. Results: The overall incidence of grade B or C pancreatic fistula was 3.10% (18/581) after end-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy with purse-pocket insertion. The incidence of grade B or C pancreatic fistula in OPD group was 2.75% (9/327) . The incidence of grade B or C pancreatic fistula in LAPD group was 2.29% (4/175) . The incidence of grade B or C pancreatic fistula in TLPD group was 6.33% (5/79) . The three groups were divided into two subgroups according to the pancreatic texture. There was significant difference in pancreatic duct diameter between subgroups (P<0.05) , but there was no significant difference in the time of pancreaticojejunostomy and the incidence of pancreatic fistula after operation (P>0.05) . Conclusion End-to-side pancreaticojejunostomy with pocket insertion has the advantages of simple operation, strong adaptability, safety and high efficiency, and can control the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy at an ideal level.

Objective To study the features,safe Sex behavior and the size of men who have sex with men(MSM)population in actuaI and virtual venues in one city.Methods We carried out a cross-sectional study in actual and virtual venues,using the Estimated Size of Population from a Single Sample(LMS method)to estimate the size of MSM population.Results Most MSM in actual venues were 24-43 year olds and had received high school education,whereas in virtual venues,the majority of this population were younger than 29 years old and had higher education,including some college students.The awareness of AIDS of the two groups from different venues showed no statistically significant difierence,neither the safe sex behaviors.Proportions of the MSM population in actual and virtuaI venues were 21.22%(16 383,95%CI:11514-21252)and 78.78%(60830,95%CI:57327-64329),respectively.After adjusting the overlapping part of the MSM from both venues,the total number was between 60 830 and 77213,constituting a proportion of 5.03%-6.38%in the sexually active male population(15-64 year olds)in this city.Conclusion The size of the MSM population was large but the characteristics were different in the actual or virtual venues.As most MSM preferred going to the virtual venues,intervention program on AIDS-specific strategy in this area,in particular dealing with the Internet,should be strenthened.
