Objective: To study the protective effects of tetrahydropalmatine (THP) against ischemia－reperfusion induced hippocamp lesion in rats. 　MethodS: A model of ischemia-reperfusion induced brain lesion was set up by ligation of common carotid arteria in rats, and the protective effects of THP was observed.　Results: It was found that, with administration of THP, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and Na+, K+-ATPase as well as Ca2＋－ATPase were increased (P＜0.05, respectively), while malondialehyde (MDA) was decreased to 42.5% (P＜0.01) during brain ischemia－reperfusion.　Conclusion:The results suggested that THP can protect the rat against ischemia－reperfusion induced brain lesion.

Objective To investigate the influence of alprostadil on renal function,oxidative stress,and immune function in early diabetic nephropathy patients.Methods Eighty-six cases of early diabetic nephropathy patients in our hospital during April 2013 to January 2016 were chosen as research subjects,all patients were divided into observation (n =43) and control (n =43) groups according to random data form.Patients in observation group received alprostadil combined with pioglitazone treatment and those in control group received pioglitazone treatment only,both lasted for one month.Before treatment,one month after treatment,renal function indices were detected;serum oxidative stress indices were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer;T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry.Results Before treatment,there were no significant differences in renal function,oxidative stress,immune function between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).One month after treatment,peripheral blood renal function indices such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN),estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),and cystatin C (CysC) levels were lower in observation group than in control group,the level of serum albumin (Alb) was higher in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);semm oxidation indices malondialdehyde (MDA),and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) were lower in observation group than in control group,human antioxidant indices such as superoxide dismutase (SOD),and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were higher in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);peripheral blood CD3 +,CD4 + T lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + were higher in observation group than in control group,CD8 +T lymphocyte level was lower in observation group than in control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Alprostadil can optimize the renal function and immune function in early diabetic nephropathy patients,reduce the degree of oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar spine MRI and electrophysiological test are reliable methods for evaluating nerve root injury caused by lumbar disc herniation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between the MRI-based grading system and the latency and frequency of F wave as wel as latency and amplitude of H-reflex in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
METHODS:MRI imaging of the lumbar spine was performed with a 3.0-T imager and a dedicated TCL coil to classify lumbar disc herniation and nerve root compression. F wave and H reflex were detected on the patient bilateral tibial nerves using Oxford myoelectricity evoked potential instrument.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Spearman correlation analysis showed that the MRI-based grading of patients with lumbar disc herniation had a negative correlation with F wave frequency (r=-0.594 0, P<0.000 1), and a positive correlation with F wave latency (r=0.825 6, P<0.000 1) and H-reflex latency (r=0.875 0, P<0.000 1), but no correlation with H-reflex amplitude (R=0.117 4, P=0.257 3). With MRI grading increased, F wave frequency was decreased, and F wave and H-reflex latency were prolonged gradual y, indicating aggravating nerve root compression.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the production of metallo-beta-lactamase in clinical isolates of multi-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and evaluate the validity of the detection methods.METHODS The multi-resistant strains were selected by K-B method according to the standard Aloush et al recommended.The metallo-beta-lactamase phenotypes were detected by multi-disk-multi-inhibitors synergy test(MDMIST),and the genotypes of IMP and VIM gene were analyzed by PCR amplification.RESULTS A total of 192 strains of multi-resistant P.aeruginosa were selected from 1081 clinical strains.The antimicrobial agents test in these multi-resistance strains demonstrated that ciprofloxacin and piperacillin had the highest resistant rate(92.5%),and the next were aztreonam and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole(91.5%),the polymyxin showed sensitive in all of these strains.Sixty-seven strains of metallo-beta-lactamase phenotypes were positive and the amplification PCRs showed that 65 strains were IMP or VIM in these 192 multi-resistant strains.CONCLUSIONS The resistance mechanisms in multi-resistant P.aerugionsa present multiple and changeable.The clinical laboratory should enhance the detection of metallo-beta-lactamase in these multi-resistant strains.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effectiveness of manual therapy and traction for lumbar disc herniation and analyze the current status of this kind of randomized clinical trial (RCT).

METHODSDatabase of CNKI, VIP, WANFANG, PubMed and OVID were searched. Some relevant journals were manually retrieved. A total of 2 874 literatures on manual therapy and traction for lumbar disc herniation were collected, of which 17 articles met the inclusion criteria. The Jadad score scale was used to evaluate the quality,and RevMan5.0 was used for meta-analysis of literatures.

RESULTSThe results of the meta-analysis of all trials involved were as followed:the combined effect of the effective rate was RR = 1.10, 95% CI [1.06, 1.14], the combined effect of the cure rate was RR = 1.36, 95% CI [1.21,1.52], the combined effect of the VAS was RR = 1.37, 95% CI [1.28, 1.45], the combined effect of the JOA was RR = 4.75, 95% CI [4.40, 5.09].

CONCLUSIONThe overall quality of the current RCT researches about manual therapy for lumbar disc herniation was lower,and did not support the conclusion that manual therapy was more effective than traction for lumbar disc herniation.

BACKGROUND:Microencapsulated cels are commonly used as a tool to overcome immune rejection after subarachnoid transplantation. However, the effect of microencapsulation on the secretion of human pheochromocytoma cels is unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the growth and secretion of primarily microencapsulated cultured human pheochromocytoma cels in artificial cerebrospinal fluid.
METHODS: The human pheochromocytoma tissues were digested successively to isolate human pheochromocytoma cels that were then cultured in artificial cerebrospinal fluid. Primary cels were covered with alginate-polylysine-alginate microcapsules, and then the cel morphology was observed with inverted phase contrast microscope. Levels of met-enkephalin and norepinephrine in cel culture medium were detected by enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We used cel counting kit-8 colorimetric assay to obtain the growth curve of human pheochromocytoma cels in artificial cerebrospinal fluid.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Microcapsulated human pheochromocytoma cels were in suspension and the process outgrowth increased slowly. Compared with non-microcapsulated cels, the proliferation rate of microcapsulated cels increased significantly. ELISA results revealed a significant increase in the levels of met-enkephalin and norepinephrine secreted from the microencapsulated cels compared to the non-microcapsule group. There was a wide variation in contents of met-enkephalin and norepinephrine from different tumors. These findings indicate that microencapsulated human pheochromocytoma cels can survive wel and have good secretion function in artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and human pheochromocytoma cels from different tumor tissues have stable secretory function.
