Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(6):760-763
Cytokine(CK)is a kind of low molecular weight solu-ble protein induced by immunogen,mitogen and other irritant a-gents,and is used widely in the field of diseases.Recently,a series of cytokines with anti-diabetic function such as fibroblast growth factors,adipocytokines,intestinal cytokines,epidermal growth factor were subsequently reported.Anti-diabetic drugs of cytokine have been paid much more attention to due to their less adverse reactions,the success of these researches will provide more ways for the treatment of diabetes.This article summarizes the progress in the research and development of anti-diabetic drugs of cell factor.

Aim To study the protective effects of SEP on the hypertrophic myocardial cells induced with high glucose and high insulin and the mechanism. Methods The protein content was assayed with Lowrys meth-od;the cardiomyocytes area was measured by computer photograph analysis system;the expression of ANF and PPAR-α was determined by RT-PCR;APS was select-ed as control drug. Results Compared with conctrol group,the protein content,cardiomyocytes area and the expression of ANF and PPAR-α of high glucose and high insulin group were significantly increased. Com-pared with conctrol group,the SEP of different dosages were able to decrease the protein content, area, the expression of ANF mRNA and PPAR-α mRNA of cul-tured hypertrophic myocadial cells induced with high glucose and high insulin. Conclusion SEP can pre-vent cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by high glu-cose and high insulin, which is related to its inhibition on PPAR-α signaling path.

Objective To analyze the long-term results of rituximab combined with whole brain radiotherapy and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in treatment of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods 23 postoperative patients younger than 60 years old were treated. Whole brain radiotherapy with dose of 32.4 Gy were performed and lesions were followed by 3D-CRT with dose of 18 Gy.A dose of rituximab (375 mg/m2) was infused on day 1 (once a week for six weeks).The overall survival was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier.Results 19 patients(82.6 %) was complete remission 3 patients (13.0 %) was part remission,14 patients (60.9 %) was progression-free survival was 26 months (17-34 months). The overall survival was 40 months (29-55 months). Toxicity was moderate without grade 3-4 neurotoxicity toxic events. Conclusions Radiotherapy (whole brain radiotherapy with sequential 3D-CRT)combined with rituximab seems to yield substantial long-term survival with moderate toxicity for the treatment of the younger patients with PCNSL.

Objective To evaluate the effect of emulsified isoflurane post-conditioning on the mitochondrial function during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats in an in vitro experiment.Methods Twenty-four SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,were used in the study.After the animals were anesthetized,the lungs were removed,connected to the perfusion system and then divided into 4 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),group I/R,emulsified isoflurane post-conditioning group (group EI) and intralipid post-conditioning group (group IL).After 20 min of equilibration,the lungs were continuously perfused for 105 min in group C,and the lungs were subjected to 45 min ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion to establish the model of lung I/R injury in the other three groups.During the reperfusion period,the common perfusate was used in group I/R,the perfusate containing 1.68 mmol/L emulsified isoflurane was used in group EI,and the equal volume of perfusate containing 30% intralipid was used in group IL.At the end of the equilibration (T0),immediately after beginning of reperfusion (T1) and at 30 and 60 min of reperfusion (T2.3),the arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2),airway resistance,pulmonary compliance and tidal volume (VT) were recorded.The right upper lobe of the lung was removed at T3 for determination of wet to dry weight ratio (W/D ratio).The right middle lobe of the lung was removed at T3 for pathologic examination with light microscope.The contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS),NAD+ and ATP in lung tissues were detected.Results Compared with group C,the PaO2,pulmonary compliance and Vr were significantly decreased,and the airway resistance was increased at T1-3,and the W/D ratio and ROS content were increased,and NAD+ and ATP contents were decreased at T3 in I/R,EI and IL groups (P<0.05).Compared with I/R and IL groups,the PaO2,pulmonary compliance and VT were significantly increased,and the airway resistance was decreased at T2.3,and the W/D ratio and ROS content were decreased,and NAD+ and ATP contents were increased at T3 in group EI (P<0.05).The pathologic changes of lungs were significantly attenuated in group EI as compared with group I/R.Conclusion The mechanism by which emulsified isoflurane post-conditioning attenuates lung I/R injury is related to decrease in mitochondrial dysfunction in rats in an in vitro experiment.

Objective To evaluate the role of α2 adrenergic receptors in dexmedetomidine-induced inhibition of lipid peroxidation during lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty-two isolated rat lungs in which the model of isolated lung perfusion was successfully established,were divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),I/R group,dexmedetomidine group (D group) and dexmedetomidine plus yohimbine group (DY group).The isolated lungs were subjected to 60 min of ischemia and apnea followed by 75 min of reperfusion and ventilation to establish the model of isolated lung I/R injury.From the beginning of reperfusion,2.3 ng/ml dexmedetomidine was added to the perfusion fluid in D group,and 2.3 ng/ml dexmedetomidine and 0.4 μg/ml yohimbine (an α2 adrenergic receptor blocker) were added to the perfusion fluid in DY group.Lung specimens were obtained immediately after the end of reperfusion for determination of the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio),superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (by using modified pyrogallol autoxidation method) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content (by thiobarbituric acid method) and for examination of the pathological changes (using haematoxylin and eosin staining).Results Compared with C group,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly increased,and the SOD activity was decreased in I/R,D and DY groups (P<0.05).Compared with I/R group,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly decreased,and the SOD activity was increased in D group (P<0.05).Compared with DY group,the W/D ratio and MDA content were significantly decreased,and the SOD activity was increased in group D (P<0.05).The pathological changes of lung tissues were significantly attenuated in D group as compared with I/R and DY groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine inhibits lipid peroxidation is related to activating α2 adrenergic receptors during lung I/R injury in rats.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characters and treatments of maxillofacial fractures. Method: A review of 101 maxillofacial fractures was presented with respect to age, sex, cause of fractures, pattern of fractures, treatments and therapeutic effect. Result:The majority of fractures were found in 20-to-50-years-old males. Most fractures happened in summer and the leading causes were traffic accidents. Mandible was the most part of fractures and associated combined injures were found in 31 cases. Rigid internal fixation was the primary treatment. Conclusion:Maxillofacial factures mainly occurred in young adult males and traffic accidents were the main causes. Rigid internal fixation after exact replacement was the primary common treatment.
