1.A research on the structure and biological functions of PPAR? and its relationship with diseases
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(09):-
PPAR ? is one of the three isoforms of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) which are essential regulators of lipid storage and metabolism. PPAR ? primarily stimulats lipid metabolism and energy uncoupling in adipocytes and myocytes as well as involvs in the onset and development of many diseases. As the target of medicines, PPAR ? agonists may be powerful drugs for epidermal wound and metabolic syndrome X.

Tianjin Medical Journal 2014;(6):578-580
Objective To analysis the consequence of current perception threshold (CPT) by different frequency and time of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Methods CPT of foramen area and arm area was measured to evaluate the effect of TENS. Different frequency and time of TENS was given to 30 healthy volunteers. Stimulating to Hegu, CPT of the foramen area and the arm area on the same side was measured. Results CPT of the foramen area increased with stimulation. Low frequency of TENS inhibited the chronic pain significantly(P<0.05),high frequency of TENS inhibited both of the chronic pain and the acute pain(P<0.05). The inhibition of pain is more influenced by the frequency of TENS than the time of it. Conclusion Channel and point of TENS can influence CPT of the specific reaction area. And the choice of appropriate frequency of the treatment is more important than extending the treatment time alone.

Methods Randomized controlled analysis of patients in Spine and Spinal Cord Injury Surgery between June 2014 to October 2015, a total of 65 patients with thoracic spinal cord injury and paraplegic were studied, according to hospital mantissa odd and even numbers divided into observation group (35 cases) and control group (30 cases). The observation group was instituted to extending posthospital care, not the control group. The self-care ability and psychological state were evaluated by Function Independent Measure (FIM), Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD)within discharge and in 3 months. And the incidence of complications between the two groups were compared. Results At discharge, the difference of FIM, HAMA, HAMD score between the observation group and the control group was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Discharged after 3 months, the score of FIM, HAMA, HAMD in observation group was(72.35 ± 4.35),(4.80 ± 4.50),(12.13 ± 7.25)points, (63.95 ± 5.02),(10.15 ± 4.91), (19.48 ± 8.31)points in control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t=-4.798, 3.524, 3.110, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the incidence of pulmonary infection and blood clots between two groups (P > 0.05); The incidence of urinary tract infection, pressure ulcers, constipation were 8.57% (3/35), 5.71% (2/35), 17.14% (6/35) in observation group, 40.00% (12/30), 33.33%(10/30), 63.33%(19/30) in control group, there were significant differences between, two groups (χ2= 4.324, 4.219, 5.337, P < 0.05). Conclusions Transitional care can significantly improve the psychological state of patients with thoracic spinal cord injury and paraplegia discharged, reduce the incidence of complications and improve quality of life.

Objective To investigate the effects of morphine dependence and withdrawal on neurosteroids and amino acid transmitters of rat amygdala. Methods Morphine dependence was induced by pretreatment with increasing doses of morphine for 7 days. Withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone (2mg/kg). Withdrawal syndromes were observed and scored. After decapitation, amygdala was dissected out. Nomadic and conjugated neurosteroids were extracted using liquid-liquid extraction and solid phase extraction. Concentrations of neurosteroids including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), pregnenolone (PREG), allopregnanolone (AP), dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and pregnenolone sulfate (PREGS) were detected with HPLC-MS. Concentrations of glycine (GLY), glutamate (GLU) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were quantitated by HPLC-ECD with pre-column OPA derivatization. Results Compared with saline control, the DHEA level in rat amygdala of morphine dependent group decreased by 33% (P<0.01). Compared with naloxone control, the PREG and AP levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 45% (P<0.05) and 42% (P<0.05) respectively; the GABA level decreased by 18% (P<0.01). Compared with morphine dependent group, the PREG and PREGS levels in rat amygdala of morphine withdrawal group increased by 60% and 40% respectively (P<0.05); the glycine level decreased by 14% (P<0.05). Conclusion The DHEA in rat amygdala may play a role in the development of morphine dependence but not involved in the manifestation of withdrawal symptoms. Other neurosteroids (including PREG, AP and PREGS) in rat amygdala seem to be involved in withdrawal but not in dependence. The synthesis and release of inhibitory amino acids in amygdala were depressed when withdrawal was precipitated by naloxone. The results suggest that different changes of neurosteroids and amino acids exist in stages of morphine dependence and withdrawal.

Objective To observe the effects of intensive insulin therapy on C-reactive protein (CRP) ,interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α ) in the patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia and its incidence of side effect. Methods Two hundred and nine patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia were randomly divided into intensive insulin therapy group (106 patients,blood glucose maintained at a level of 4.4-6.1 mmol/L) and conventional insulin therapy group ( 103 patients, blood glucose maintained at a level of 9.0-11.1 mmol/L). Serum levels of CRP,TNF- α and IL-6 were determined on 0,24,48,72 h respectively after ICU admission. Results The levels of blood glucose of both groups reached the target level. The incidence rates of the hypoglycemia had no significant difference between two groups [6.60 % (7/106) vs. 4.76% ( 3/63 ),P > 0.05]. After 72 h treatment, serum level of CRP in intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05 ). After 24,48 and 72 h treatment, serum level of IL-6 in intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05 ). After 48 and 72 h treatment, serum level of TNF-αin intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Intensive insulin therapy can significantly decrease the levels of non-specific inflammatory factors in patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia, which brings beneficial effect to the patients.
