Objective To study the protective effect on CCl4-injured L-02 hepatocytes of polysaccharides from Hyriopsis cumingii(HCP) and try to explain the mechanism.Methods The L-02 hepatocytes were incubated and then injured by CCl4.The levels of AST,ALT,MDA and SOD in cultural supernatant were detected by general methods.Cell viability was assayed by MTT method.Results The polysaccharides(25,250 and 1000?g?L-1)could reduce the levels of AST,ALT,MDA in cultural supernatant which increased by CCl4.It also could boost the hepatocytes viability and elevate the level of SOD which reduced by CCl4.Conclusion The results suggest that polysaccharides from Hyriopsis cumingii have direct protective activity on hepatocytes injured in vitro.It might be associated with the anti-oxidative activity of polysaccharides from Hyriopsis cumingii.

Objective To evaluate uncertainty for the determination of oxcarbazepine active metabolite (10-hydroxycarbazepine) in human se-rum by solid phase extraction -HPLC.Methods The uncertainty caused in the whole process of determination was analyzed.Sources of uncertainty were established and simplified, then each component of un-certainty, combined uncertainty and expanded uncertainty were calculat-ed by using the method validation data in accordance with the evaluation procedure.Results The expanded uncertainty for low, medium and high concentrations (3.18, 12.73, 50.91 μg· mL-1 ) of 10-hydroxy-carbazepine was 0.24, 0.44 and 1.66 μg· mL-1 , respectively ( k =2, P=95%).Conclusion The uncertainty of this method was mainly caused by calibration curve fitting ( especially low level of sample ) , serum drug extraction, serum sample preparation, HPLC error and measuring repeatability.

BACKGROUNDLiving donor kidney transplantation (LKT) has been booming in China. This study aimed to elucidate the renal function of both Chinese donors and recipients after the donation and transplantation.

METHODSOne hundred and forty-one pairs of donors and recipients for LKT were randomly selected and followed up for up to seven years. The donors' and recipients' renal function was recorded before and after operation.

RESULTSThe donors presented a mean age of (43.9 ± 7.5) years at donation. The female contributed 101/141 (71.6%) in all donors, and no effect was shown between genders on healthy donors' renal function. The donors' glomerular filtration rates (GFR) were (119.5 ± 20.4) ml/min, (85.2 ± 17.6) ml/min, (87.2 ± 15.9) ml/min, (82.1 ± 14.6) ml/min and (83.0 ± 13.7) ml/min preoperatively, and for five days, three months, one year and beyond one year after the operation. The donors for the period of 1 - 3 years, 3 - 5 years and more than 5 years after donation showed GFR as (83.9 ± 12.7) ml/min, (83.0 ± 17.6) ml/min, and (80.9 ± 20.8) ml/min, respectively, no statistically significant difference was found. Moreover, no significant clinical changes in blood pressure and proteinuria were found among the donors. In the recipients, delayed graft function (DGF) rate was 6.4%, acute rejection rate was 11.3%, and GFR were (66.5 ± 16.4) ml/min, (73.2 ± 19.6) ml/min and (63.9 ± 18.6) ml/min respectively at three months, one year and beyond one year post-transplantation respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe donors/recipients of LKT in Chinese population experience well-functioning remaining/donor kidneys.

BACKGROUNDTo study differences among Paragonimus skrjabini (P. skrjabini) populations from five provinces in China (Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Hubei, and Sichuan) and Paragonimus szechuanensis.

METHODSDNA sequences were obtained from the ITS2 and CO1 genes and phylogenetic trees were constructed from the results. Sequences were also obtained from several other species of Paragonimus for comparative purposes.

RESULTSAlthough differences existed in the DNA sequence among P. skrjabini populations from five provinces, the differences were very small. There was also some resemblance between P. miyazakii from Japan and Fujian strains of P. skrjabini.

CONCLUSIONAll studied populations can be regarded as different strains of P. skrjabini; P. szechuanensis is not a separate species but may be a geographical strain of P. skrjabini. We also found that P. miyazakii may be synonymous with P. skrjabini.

A portable ECG monitor is introduced in the paper, which has a temporary intravenous and transesophageal fixable rate pacing function. During the PSVT attack, the tachyarrythmia can be stopped by the transesophageal cardiac pacing while the ECG signals are monitored. The instrument has some advantages such as small size, low price and good practicality. It is worth while introducing and popularizing it to all hospitals.

OBJECTIVETo identify the clinical and pathological features of acute myeloid leukemia with B lymphoproliferative disorders.

METHODSThe characteristics of 3 cases of acute monocytic leukemia with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia/monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis were reported with literatures review.

RESULTSThe patients presented with a history of anemia, bleeding and/or fever. Acute monocytic leukemia was diagnosed by bone marrow morphology, cytochemistry and pathology studies. Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry analysis showed a significant population of absolute B-lymphocyte count of > 5×10(9)/L in a patients, similar to that of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

CONCLUSIONSThe association of acute monocytic leukemia and untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia/monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis was a rare event. The abnormal B lymphocytes was likely to be misdiagnosis. Thus, it was important to combine several kinds of laboratory studies, especially flow cytometry to identify this rare disorder.

OBJECTIVETo investigate The modulating role of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in hepatic cells and its role in hepatic injury in severely burned rats.

METHODSTwenty-four adult healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (8 rats in each group): sham group, burn group, and burn with SB203580 group. A rat model of full-thickness burn injury covering 30% total body surface area (TBSA) was reproduced. The specific inhibitor of p38MAPK (SB203580 in 10 mg/kg) was given to the rats in the burn with SB203580 group at 15 minutes and 12 hours after burn. The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured at 24 postburn hours (PBHs). The TNF-alpha mRNA expression in the liver was determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the expression levels of p38MAPK and phosphor-p38MAPK in the liver were determined by Western blot analysis.

RESULTSThe serum levels of AST and ALT, and the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in liver cells were significantly higher in burn group than those in sham and SB203580 groups (P < 0.05 or 0.01), but there was no difference between the two latter groups. It was indicated by Western blot results that there was no difference of p38MAPK expression in rat liver among the three groups (P > 0.05). The phospho-p38MAPK expression ratio among sham, burn and burn with SB203580 groups was 1.00:3.90:1.10. The phospho-p38MAPK expression was significantly lower in burn with SB203580 group than that in burn group (P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference compared with that in sham group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe postburn activated p38MAPK in rat liver after severe burn injury enhances the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA and participates in the development of postburn hepatic injury.
