Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2017;37(4):220-222
Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect and safety of ambrocol oral liquid combined with pidotimod oral liquid in the treatment of children with mite allergic asthma.Methods 54 cases of children with mite allergic asthma from December 2014 to December 2015 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and experimental group,27 cases in each group.On the basis of routine treatment,the control group was given pidotimod oral solution 10mL,once a day,oral; on the basis of the control group,the experimental group was treated with ambrocol oral solution 10mL,twice a day,oral.Interleukin-2(IL-2),interleukin-4(IL-4),immunoglobulin E(IgE)levels,the efficacy and safety of the two groups were measured before and after treatment.Results After treatment,compared with the control group,the serum levels of IL-2 were higher,and the levels of IL-4、IgE were lower in the experimental group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),the treatment efficiency of the experimental group(92.59%)was significantly higher than that of the control group(81.48%),the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The ambrocol oral liquid combined with pidotimod oral liquid can significantly improve the serum level of IL-2,and reduce the serum level of IL-4,IgE in children with mite allergic asthma,improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To study the effect of urapidil on the levels of 4 kinds of plasma neuropeptides : endothelin(ET),neuropetid Y(NPY),calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP) and neurotensin(NT) in patients with hypertension. Methods Twenty patients with hypertension ,scheduled for surgery,received urapidil 0.5mg/kg intravenously before anesthesia induction .The intravenous blood samples were taken before and 5min after the administration ,to measure the plasma levels of ET,NPY,CGRP and NT with radioimmunoassay . Twenty health humans served as control. Results Compared with control levels, ET and NPY levels increased markedly and CGRP and NT levels decreased significantly in the patients with hypertension (P

Objective To establish rat model of type 2 diabetes through a single subcutaneous injection of lipopolysaccharide which induced chronic inflammation.Methods The male Wistar rats(n = 30)were randomly divided control group (n = 10)and model group (n=20).Model group with LPS (300 μg·kg-1 ·day-1 )subcutaneous injection of eight weeks,rats in control group received isometric stroke-physiological saline solution injection in the same way.The changes in appearance,weight and fasting blood glucose (FBG)of rats were observed every week.At the end of the 8th week,thelevels of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α), interleukin-1(IL-1),interleukin-6 (IL-6),monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)and fasting insulin(FINS)were measured.Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)and insulin release test(IRT)were also performed.The successful rat model was determined by the standards that FBG was ≥11.1 mmol/L.Results Model group rats reached the standard of type 2 diabetes after six weeks of LPS injection.Model group blood sugar is significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05).In addition,model group′s expression level of inflammatory cytokines in serum TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6,MCP-1 and FINS were significantly higher than control group (P <0.05).Oral glucose tolerance test,blood glucose levels higher than normal in model group,the insulin peak is lower than the normal group (P <0.05).Conclusion The success of establishing the animal model of type 2 diabetic rats which were injected of low dose of LPS by subcutaneous may be provide certain help for the etiology of diabetes research.

Objective To further identify the isolated Mycoplasma genitalium (Mg) from the high risk population of STD in China. Mothods The morphology of Mg standard strains and clinical isolates were observed under electron microscopy (EM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Mg sample preparation for AFM was fixed on mica and AFM images of scanning observation were captured by contacting and tapping modes and operated under normal atmospheric pressure and temperature. Results and Conclusion Mg had a diversity of shapes, including flask, pear, spindle or round shape with projecting neck portion and slightly broadened terminal structure under EM. The morphologic features under AFM were similar to those observed by EM. The typical Mg showed shapes of flask and pear with noticeable narrow ring or mark in the neck portion. The size of Mg measured under EM and AFM was similar as well. Mycoplasma

Objectives To explore the effects of hemodialysis on oxidizing stress and plasma nitrogen monoxide (NO) levels in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods 67 maintenance hemodialysis patients (male 39, female 28, and mean age 58?13y) were enrolled in this study. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA) level was measured by colorimetry, and plasma NO level was determined by enzymatic method. The MDA and NO levels before and after hemodialysis were measured in 48 cases of the patients. Results After hemodialysis, the serum MDA levels significantly increased, and the plasma NO levels decreased. The patients with cardiovascular diseases had lower NO levels and higher MDA levels than the patients without ones before hemodialysis. The serum MDA levels of the patients using biological incompatible dialysis membrane increased after hemodialysis. Conclusion Hemodialysis treatment, especially using biological incompatible dialysis membrane increased oxidizing stress and decreased plasma NO levels in maintenance hemodialysis patients, and was significantly correlated with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between obesity parameters and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in aircrew. Methods A questionnaire survey in aircrew members was performed. Outcome measurement included body height, body weight, neck circumference ( NC), waist circumference (WC), and body mass index (BMI). Those with snoring during sleep and/or Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS)score ≥ 9 were screened with pulse oxygen saturation test during overnight sleep. Those with oxygen saturation decrease index ≥ 10 times/h and suspected OSAHS were tested by polysomnography (PSG). The objects were then assigned to three groups: the OSAHS group,the snore group and the normal group. The relationship between obesity parameters and OSAHS was analyzed. Results There were 399 ( 37. 54% ) overweight, 36 ( 3. 39% ) obesity, 130 ( 12. 23% ) increased NC, and 354 (33.30%)increased WC in 1063 aircrew members (OSAHS group > snore group > normal group; P<O. 05). The mean value of BMI, NC and WC in the three groups were dittos. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that overweight, obesity and increased WC were significantly associated with snoring (P <0.05) and snoring enlarged NC was significantly correlated with OSAHS (P< 0.05). Conclusion Increased BMI, NC and WC may be risk factors of OSAHS among aircrew. Effective prevention and treatment of OSAHS should be needed.

10.Research progress on the role of hedgehog signaling pathway in gastric cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(23):1540-1543
Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is critical during embryonic development. Recent studies have shown that Hh sig-naling plays an important role in oncogenesis and development of many malignant tumors. In particular, activation of the Hh signaling pathway is implicated in the aggressiveness and progression of gastric cancer. This review provides an overview of the research prog-ress on the role of Hh pathway in gastric cancer. Investigation of this pathway may reveal a novel target for gastric cancer therapy.
