By means of 3H-Thymidine and3H-Leucine incorporation, we observed that CGRP inhibited the multiplication of SHR's aortic smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and the proliferation of VSMCs stimulated by Endothelin. These results suggest that CGRP may be a natu-ral antagonist of Endothelin in human body.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of self-made blenderized diet used for nutritional support treatment in the ICU critically ill patients with diabetes. Methods 74 ICU critically ill patients with diabetes were randomly divided into two groups:study group and control group. The self-made blenderized diet were given to the patients in study group and enteral nutrition to the patients in control group for nutritional support treatment for four weeks. Then glucose metabolism, various nutrition indicators and gastrointestinal dysfunction were observed in these two groups. Results The fasting blood glucose and fructosamine levels were decreased significantly,while the nutritional indicators was significantly higher after treatment than at baseline in all patients. There was no significant difference in the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose, fructosamine and nutritional indicators between two groups after treatment,so were the incidence of the hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal complications. Conclusion The self-made blenderized diet was a good enteral nutrition support therapy for ICU critically ill patients with diabetes which had a considerable effect, but more cheaper,and practical compared to the enteral nutrition emulsions.

Objective To study the consistency in the diagnosis of preoperative TNM rectal cancer staging using high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) combined with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and postoperative pathological TNM.Methods 156 cases pathologically proven were retrospectively analyzed and divided into 4 groups including preoperative MRI group (39 cases),TRUS group (39 cases),MRI and TRUS group (39 cases),MRI and TRUS combined with CEA group (39 cases).The differences between preoperative T,N staging and postoperative pathologic T,N staging were analyzed.Results There were statistically significant differences in the diagnosis of preoperative T and postoperative pathological T in 4 groups (T: Kappa =0.685,P =0.000; N: Kappa =0.544,P =0.000),but there were no significant differences in preoperative N and postoperative pathological N staging in preoperative MRI group,TRUS group,MRI and TRUS group (Kappa =0.142,P =0.329; Kappa =0.154,P =0.645; Kappa =0.154,P=0.229),and significant difference was observed in MRI and TRUS combined with CEA group (Kappa =0.544,P =0.000).There were no significant differences in the accuracy of T staging among the 4 groups (x2 =0.326,P =0.574; x2 =0.562,P =0.719; x2 =0.287,P =0.986),but significant difference in the accuracy of N staging were showed among the 4 groups (x2 =4.643,P =0.026; x2 =6.643,P =0.026; x2 =5.243,P =0.019).Conclusion Preoperative evaluation by the MRI add TRUS combined with CEA can improve the accuracy of preoperative staging,which can provide more reliable basis for decision-making and improve the coincidence rate of operative procedures in line with the estimate.It also provides the basis fur the accurate preoperative diagnosis and individualized treatment.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and its mechanism of prescription Zu Zhong 1 Hao (a traditional Chinese medical prescription, including Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Arisaema cure Bile, Rhizoma pinelliae, the seed of Prunus persiea , Angelica sinensis , Ligusticum Chuanxiong, Paeonia lactiflora , and Pueraria ,etc) pretreatment on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation, ischemia-reperfusion, flunarizine and prescription Zu Zhong 1 Hao low-, medium-and high-dose groups (n=10 in each group). A rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was induced by suture method (ischemia for 3 hours followed by reperfusion for 24 hours). Nitric oxide (NO) was measured by the nitrate reductase method; superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was assessed by the xanthine oxidase method; maiondialde-hyde (MDA) was determined by the thiobarbiturie acid method; and tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-α) was detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Results Prescription Zu Zhong 1 Hao significantly improved neurological deficits in focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats, reduced the content of NO and MDA in brain tissue, increased SOD activity, and down-regulated the expression of TNF-α. Among them, the role of the high-dose group was more significant (P<0. 01). There were also significant differences between the low-and medium-dose groups and the ischemia-reperfusion group (P<0. 05). Conclusions The pretreatment of prescription Zu Zhong 1 Hao has the protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury, and its mechanism may be associated with the decreased content of NO and MDA in brain tissue, increased SOD activity, and down-regulated TNF-α expression.

Identification and functional analyses of antiviral restriction factors in hosts have become hot research topics. Four HIV restriction factors, APOBEC3G, Trim5alpha, Tetherin, and SAMHD1, have been identified in recent years. By encoding auxiliary proteins, lentiviruses can counteract host restriction factors. For example, the auxiliary proteins Vif, Vpu, and Vpx of HIV antagonize APOBEC3G, Tetherin, and SAMHD1, respectively. Furthermore, these auxiliary proteins enable the entry of HIV into host cells and influence the replication and pathogenicity of HIV. In this paper, we review the research progress in the functions of the three HIV auxiliary proteins that can antagonize the host restriction factors.
