Objective To investigatethe clinical value of troponin-I(cTnI)in patientswith septic shocka-nd left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods As a retrospective analysis ,38 patients with left ventricular di-astolic dysfunction and septic shock(Sa group),as well as 20 patients with normal cardiac function(Sn group) were enrolled in this study. Moreover ,20 patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and without septic shock were used as control group(Ca group). The ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mi-tral annulus velocity(E/e′)was measured as the evaluation index of left ventricular diastolicfunction by echocar-diography within 72 hours after admission to ICU. Level of cTnI was detected in all cases and the relationship was evaluated by E/e′. Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was constructed to indicate the predictable value of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Results The level of cTnI was significantly elevated in both Sa group and Sn group(P<0.05),while the level of cTnI and E/e′in Sa group were significantly higher than those in Sn group(P < 0.05). cTnI was positively correlated with E/e′(r = 0.367 ,P = 0.004). The area under the curve(AUC)of cTnI was 0.834,with the cut-off value of 0.49 ng/mL(sensibility=77.6,specificity=80.7). Conclusion The level of cTnI was significantly higher in patients with septic shock. cTnI was significantly correlated to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. cTnI ≥ 0.49 ng/mL could be an available predictor for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock.

OBJECTIVETo establish a simple but effective method of laser scanning confocal microscopic imaging for Ca2+ oscillations of pancreatic acinar cells in adult mice.

METHODSPancreatic acinar cells from adult Kunming mice were isolated acutely with collagenase, and then loaded with fluo-4-AM, a Ca2+ indicator. A laser scanning confocal microscope armed with 488 nm laser was employed to record the dynamic fluorescent signals in-time and synchronously while acetylcholine (ACh) was added in the pancreatic acinar cells.

RESULTS(1) The classic pancreatic acinar cell Ca2+ oscillations were induced by a certain concentration of ACh (100 nmol/L) successfully and steadily, which could be blocked by atropine completely. (2) Plasmic Ca2+ oscillations from different parts of one acinar cell were usually with different amplitudes and almost the same frequencies. But both of amplitudes and frequencies were different among different cells. (3) The acinar cell Ca2+ oscillations were induced by ACh in a concentration-dependent manner.

CONCLUSIONThe laser scanning confocal microscopic imaging for adult mouse pancreatic acinar cell Ca2+ oscillations was established successfully. The features of being easy to use, direct to see lively, high efficiency and good flexibility make it a popular tool for researchers to choose.

OBJECTIVETo study the anticancer action of Zuojinwan in mice transplanted with sarcoma 180 in vivo, and detect the activities of five kinds of tumor markers (TM) including acid phosphotase (ACP), alkaline phosphotase (AKP), creatine kinase (CK), aldolase (ALD) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum compared with Coptis chinensis and Evodia rutaecarpa.

METHODThe transplanted S180 tumor mice model was established, and the mice were divided randomly five groups. The extract of Zuojinwan (850.8 mg kg(-1)), C. chinensis (729.2 mg kg(-1)) and E. rutaecarpa (121.6 mg kg(-1)) were administrated, respectively for 10 d. Then, the changes of body weight, spleen index of mice, the inhibition rates of tumor, and the increase of life span (ILS) were all tested. In addition, the activities of ACP, AKP, CK, ALD and LDH on different test groups were also determined.

RESULTZuojinwan could inhibit the S180 tumor growth significantly with the inhibition rate of 50.54% and the ILS of mice reached to 64.91%. Meanwhile, the activities of ACP (126.72 +/- 11.16) U 100 mL(-1) and AKP (67.27 +/- 13.49) U 100 mL(-1) were increased, and the activities of CK (20.65 +/- 4.28) U mL(-1), ALD (319.13 +/- 53.87) U L(-1) and LDH (1,029.04 +/- 468.56) U L(-1) were decreased significantly by Zuojinwan treated group compared with C. chinensis and E. rutaecarpa treated groups (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONIn the prescription of Zuojinwan, the enhancement of compatibility of anticancer activity was observed by the interaction of C. chinensis and E. rutaecarpa. The mechanism might be in according with to influence the activities of the five kinds of tumor markers (TM) in mice serum.

Objective To analyze the changes of the intima-media thickness(IMT)of carotid and femoral arteries, serum advanced glycosylation end-products(AGEs),and AGEs soluble receptor(sRAGE)after intensively controlling blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid. Methods One hundred and thirty-two type 2 diabetic patients were divided into 3 groups and followed for 5 years: 20 patients were treated with intensive control of blood glucose and blood pressure, 80 patients with intensive control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid; and 32 patients with conventional therapy. AGEs, sRAGE, and IMT of carotid and femoral arteries were measured and compared among different groups. Results The IMT of carotid and femoral arteries and serum level of AGEs were significantly decreased after intensive treatment. The ratio of sRAGE and HbA1C(sRAGE/HbA1C)were negatively correlated with the mean of HbA1Cin the past five years(r=-0.417, P＜0.001)and the fluctuation of HbA1C(r=-0.309,P＜0.001). Multinomial regression analysis showed that AGEs were the important risk factors of IMT of femoral artery(β=0.152,P=0.068). Conclusion Intensive treatment is significant in controlling the growing IMT of carotid and femoral arteries, while decreasing serum level of AGEs.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic significance oftransepidermal water loss (TEWL), skin capacitance (CAP) and skin surface pH in subclinical irritant dermatitis. Methods Thirty healthy females took part in the 8-day study. Four areas were delineated on the flexor side of both forearms of each subject: one area received no irritation and served as the control, one was challenged by 1% sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), one by repeated tape stripping, and one by irradiation with 0.75 MED UVB. Irritations were continuously given for 5 days. Clinical evaluation was performed everyday before irritation. TEWL, CAP and skin surface pH were measured at baseline, on day 6, 7 and 8 after the first irritation. Results Clinical score maintained at 0 for all subjects through the 8-day study. After SLS irritation, TEWL was 3.17 ± 3.07 g/m2h on day 6, 3.32 ± 2.84 g/m2h on day 7 and 3.22 ± 2.36 g/m,Zh on day 8, and all were significantly higher than that on day 0 (0.40 ± 1.35 g/m2h, P < 0.01). Similarly, increased skin surface pH was observed on day 6, 7 and 8 after SLS irritation compared with that at baseline (all P < 0.05). On the contrast, CAP decreased on day 6, 7 and 8 after SLS irritation (all P < 0.05). After tape-stripping, a significant increase was observed in TEWL on day 6, 7 and 8 compared with that at baseline (2.54 ± 1.85 g/m2h, 2.40 ± 2.16 g/m2h and 2.17 ± 1.99 g/m2h vs 0.11 ± 1.10 g/m2h, all P < 0.01); significant increase of pH was noted only on day 8; meanwhile, there was no any significant change in CAP. UVB irradiation induced no obvious changes in any of these physiological parameters. Conclusions These three physiological parameters can be applied m the diagnosis of subclinical irritant contact dermatitis, and their diagnostic value varies with the pattern of irritation.
