Objective To compare the effects of vasopressin and adrenaline on cerebral resuscitation in rats. Method Sixty male SD rats were used to set the animal model of cardiac arrest and were randomly (random number) divided into 4 groups (n = 15/group): sham operation group (sham-gro), negative control group (neg-gro), vasopressin group (vas-gro) and adrenaline group (adr-gro). Blood pressure was recorded, and brain tissue samples were obtained. Results There was no significant difference in the recovery rate between vas-gro and adr-gro 30 min after resuscitation (P ＜0.05). The mean blood pressure in vasgro was higher than that in adr-gro within 30 min (1,2, 5, 10, 20, 30 min) after restoration of spontaneous circulation. The measured MDA, SOD and GSH were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) between each two groups among vas-gro, sham-gro and adr-gro. Conclusions The recovery rate was similar between vasopressin group and adrenaline group during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats. However, vasopressin can to maintain the mean arterial pressure at a higher level after resuscitation, which can the increase the cerebral perfusion and reduce brain cell damage.

Azone combined with PG or NMP had the most potent enhancing effect. Conclusion: Satisfactory penetration of fluoxetine hydrochloride through rat skin can be obtained by correct combination of enhancers.

Traditional open esophagectomy is associated with significant mortality and morbidity.Some researches have suggested that the incidence of the complications may be decreased with minimally invasive esophagectomy which has equivalent survival rate compared with open esophagectomy.It may become a tendency of esophageal surgery.This article reviewed the progress of minimally invasive esophagectomy.

Aim To investigate the pharmacokinetics of nodakenin(ND),one of main chemical constituents in the rhizome and root of Notopterygium incisum Ting ex H.T.Chang and N.forbesii Boiss.,in rats.Methods SD rats were used throughout the experiment and their body weights ranged from 200 to 220 g.All of them were distributed randomly to different test groups(5 rats per group).Nodakenin was administered at a single dose of 80 mg?kg-1 via tail vein.The blood was collected from the orbital venous plexus at different time points.A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC) method,in which the analyte was isocratically eluted and the external standard method was used,was developed to determine concentrations of ND in rats.The main parameters of pharmacokinetics were calculated by 3P87 software.Results Under the established conditions of HPLC,the retention time of ND was 6.7 min.The calibration curve was Y=2.0?10-4 X+0.4(r=0.9999) with a validated quantitation range from 0.2 mg?L-1 to 80 mg?L-1.The lower limits of detection(LLOD) and quantification(LLOQ) in rats plasma were 0.01 mg?L-1(S/N=3) and 0.1 mg?L-1(S/N=10),respectively.At the concentrations of 1.0,10.0 and 40.0 mg?L-1,extraction recoveries were ranged from 76.23% to 83.72%.The RSD of the precision intra-and inter-day were less than 5.60%(n=3).ND was stable at room temperature and freeze-thaw cycles.The concentration-time course of ND was best fitted to a two-compartment open model after a single intravenous injection dose of 80 mg?kg-1,which the main pharmacokinetic parameters t1/2?,t1/2?,AUC,Vc,Vp,Vss,CL were 7.02 min,219.27 min,1384.34 mg?min?L-1,0.92 L?kg-1,6.04 L?kg-1,6.96 L?kg-1,0.06 L?kg-1?min-1,respectively.Conclusion The developed method is shown to be rapid,accurate and simple,and can satisfy the requirement of pharmacokinetic study of ND in rat.ND was distributed widely and eliminated moderately after a single intravenous injection dose of 80 mg?kg-1 in rats.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the relative bioavailabilities (RBA) of iron in Soybean meal and egg yolk powder by means of the rat hemoglobin repletion method, and to analyse their iron contents by the atomic absorption spectrometric determination.The iron content of soybean meal is 159.78 ppm, RBA is 67.24%; the iron content of egg yolk powder is 128.65ppm, RBA is 70.90%. This means that both soybean and egg yolk are of high iron contents, and their RBAs are not too inferior, indicating that the absolute amounts of available iron are still high. So both of them should be considered a rather good source of dietary iron.Using the total iron consumption and the final total hemoglobin of each animal during the hemoglobin repletion period as a dose-response index to calculate the RBA is thought to be reasonable.

BACKGROUND:Scholars are stil looking for ideal bone tissue-engineered scaffolds, and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a novel construction method. In the meanwhile, bone extracel ular matrix is becoming a hotspot in osteogenic induction. OBJECTIVE:To construct the polycaprolactone/bone extracel ular matrix scaffold using 3D printing technology and co-culture method, and to detect its osteogenic property. METHODS:216 3D-printed polycaprolactone scaffolds were divided into group A (96 pores, n=72) and group B(48 pores, n=144). Passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from Sprague-Dawley rats were seeded onto the two kinds of polycaprolactone scaffolds, and the group A was used for alizarin red staining and Masson staining, while the group B for col agen and glycosaminoglycan detection at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of incubation. Afterwards, the scaffolds at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of culture were decel ularized and labeled as groups AE1, AE2, AE3, BE1, BE2 and BE3. Then passage 5 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s from Sprague-Dawley rats were seeded onto each scaffold again, and the former three groups underwent alizarin red staining, and the latter three were used for calcium, alkaline phosphatase activity and DNA quantitative analysis at 1, 2 and 3 weeks of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Masson staining, glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline quantitative analysis showed that the extracel ular matrix on the composite scaffold increased with time. Alkaline phosphatase activity revealed that the composite scaffold had a significantly stronger osteogenic differentiation than the normal polycaprolactone scaffold (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining and calcium quantitative analysis showed that the mineralization of the composite scaffold was more obvious than that of the normal polycaprolactone scaffold (P<0.05), but the total DNA analysis did not differ significantly between scaffolds. These results suggest that the composite scaffold with extracel ular matrix is constructed successful y using the 3D technology and co-culture method and exhibits a better osteoinductivity.

Pancreatic abscess(PA)is the most serious complication of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),which can lead to systemic and/ or local complications,and even death. PA cannot be resolved automatically after the formation. Once diagnosed,early drainage,anti-infection and nutrition support should be undertaken,the most important is early drainage. In the past,the treatment of PA was mainly based on surgical treatment. With the development of minimally invasive techniques,endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)guided drainage and percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD)offer a new way for the treatment of PA. Preventing and early diagnosis of PA become a challenge in the treatment of SAP. This article reviewed the progress in diagnosis and treatment of SAP complicated with PA.
